| the weekend…no naps and no shopping | March 9, 2009 | The weekend disappeared in a puff of smoke. Saturday I spent at work with the External STEPS students in our area, running an orientation day and then Sunday afternoon was extra choir for the Queensland Eisteddfod at Easter. So, sadly there were no naps and no shopping (except for the bare essentials on Sunday morning). […] |
| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 15: The joke was on me after all | March 6, 2009 | As promised I have been trawling youtube…again. My proper TV posts will return over the weekend. Here’s a display of my inner dorkiness. As a teenager I remember watching a concert that the Bee Gees performed at the Melbourne Tennis Centre. It was broadcast on the telly and hosted by, of all people, Craig MacLachlan […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 14: Wilco Wednesday | March 4, 2009 | A bit of a dodgy clip but a rollicking song nonetheless from the Billy Bragg, Wilco, Woody Guthrie project. It makes me smile every time I hear it. This is a cute beginning to a song from my favourite Wilco album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Heavy Metal Drummer just one of many fabulous songs from an […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 13: The Weight | February 28, 2009 | I like this song. I did find the original version but decided to share this instead. That’s all really. Except that I wish I could play the violin as a fiddle. And what a great name “Old Crow Medicine Show”. There might be some kind of country music fan (note: not the kind that likes […] |

| I’ve got that joy, joy, joy , joy, down in my heart…where? | February 23, 2009 | I saw the loveliest thing at choir last night. Feeling a little bored, bashing out notes for whatever piece we were singing – I think the Morley madrigal “Sing we and chant it” – I then sat back as the choir sang it through unaccompanied. Most people had their heads intently buried in the music, […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 12: Be my echo | February 20, 2009 | Don’t ask me why but this suddenly came into my mind this evening. It’s a favourite memory from growing up watching Sesame Street. I remember watching it and being totally amused by Grover’s attempts to echo. This was still the case this evening but now, many years later, I was impressed with the quality of […] |
