Here's what's happening. First off, the chorus will
likely be less active for the next few months, be on hiatus until futher notice as Choral Director Kurt Griffith/Talking Stone has his hands very full with his ailing mother, currently in hospice care at home. He very much apppreciates all the expressions of prayer and support, and for some of you, you're on the list.We had planned to make every effort to keep singing and keep things moving, but the resources are just do not seem to be there at the moment..
On September 25, 2004, we had a very good day at Pagan Pride Day 2004 with a speed drum and chant workshop and providing Ritual Support, .
We had such a good time at our last workshop that we were planing another, this time concentrating on our Native American Material- The Bardic Path: Drum & Chant-Songs of Turtle Island, we had hoped for later in the Fall, but very much postponed by the Director's family situation. But we have not forgotten about this.
We will also be sending out a notice of when we resume our activities.
Till we meet again, keep Singing!
Mitakuye Oyasin * Blessed Be * Ashe * Shalom * A Salaam * Amen * Om
