A peculiar, heuristic roadmap to whatever strikes me on any given day. If you like, if you hate, if you're just bloody confused, feel free to e-mail shadowsinger(at)mts.net and let me know.
Cover letters are a bit like sex. The first few times are awkward and messy, and there’s really only so much you can learn by watching someone else. The good news is you’ll get better with practice.

Have exercised my right to participatory democracy for the next 4 years or so, but the lineup is nuts. I know they only have one ballot box at advance polls but I wasn’t expecting a 10+ person lineup and a 45 minute wait (and there were only 6-7 people in front of me). Thankfully, they had a system in place for seating the less able bodied and keeping track of our place in line. If I’d known, I might have brought my own chair for the laugh factor. Really excited to see so many people getting out and voting though.
Well, it’s not sleep apnea, but it seems like the thyroid antibodies are really high so we need to look into that, which means now I need to get a referral to an endocrinologist. The OTC thyroid boosters weren’t helping any and they cost a fricking fortune. Still tired, but thinking there might be a solution in the wings.
Ahh, technology. Great when it works, vexing when it doesn’t. Got the laundry and the dishes, but the Christmas tree still mocks me from the corner. At this point I’m hoping to get it down by Easter. No, not joking at all here. Just no real energy. Waiting for the ThyroSmart and inositol to start “working” effectively together. Also waiting on a sleep apnea test and hoping it won’t take months to get in. Hello world!
Since the other MLs have asked me to post it (because stealing from many is “research”). I won’t bother apologizing for my absence. The few of you who follow me probably know what my summer’s been like and understand. The rest wouldn’t believe me anyway. *grin*
Gaaah! *bowing in awe* Circular breathing, overtoning behind the popping effects… just amazing stuff. Happy Belated!
I’m fairly certain this is the same kind of electric organ (a Rogers?) they have in St. Andrews’ Anglican at Portage and Woodhaven. There are points where if you couldn’t see him playing, you’d have no idea it was an organ; which is possible with one of the fully digital organs (programmed instrumentation).
However, I really can’t imagine most of the Winnipeg RCCO members managing to pull off the silver sparkly t-shirt. It’s definitely a different look for an organist than I’m used to. *grin*
A brilliant presentation on the nature of creativity, of the organ’s role in mathematics and science, of the future of the music and the instrument. Just brilliant. Watch it once to hear Cameron talk, and then watch it again just to watch Cameron and Eric play. Watch how they move, how they dace with the instrument, how their whole body is an extension of their spirit…
Original meme crossposted from ChoralNet… but I managed to find a better video from another church who embraced the same idea. It’s that time of the year, when we sell the most copies of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus just in time for Christmas concerts. Enjoy this somewhat irreverant interpretation of the Master’s work. I know I did!
