This is late notice, but hey, it’s good to know at any time that elders can learn to do hip-hop…and I will do a cameo solo in Deborah Henson-Conant’s song about the library, in honor of our return to the newly renovated branch library where we have met since we started in 2013. Lots of good fun, and short, too!
I like this title…you can make what you’d like out of it. One thing for sure: our concerts are fun, free and short!

What could be more fun than getting together with neighbors and making music? I did this years ago in Berkeley on Saturday afternoons, and the easy camaraderie and sharing of duties (conducting, bringing snacks) is perfect. What’s more, we’ll do Alice Parker’s arrangement of “Goin’ to Boston,” which I’ve been wanting to put together for quite a while now. Since it’s Ms. Parker’s 90th birthday year, folks are posting videos of their performances of her many compositions and arrangements. Alice Parker is 90 We look forward to adding ours…I’m multitasking: conducting and singing some alto on this one, but also being a percussion section. The other pieces I just get to sing…
Concert on a Saturday at noon–short, fun and free. Like no other, unless you attend another of my elder group concerts…we like the variety and we have a good time. Artwork by Lizi Brown with help from Estelle Disch, singer/artists in our group.
No, not that one…how about a few others you might not have heard lately?
Join us for a short, free concert to celebrate, sing along and eat some cookies.
