This weekend is a big music weekend for me!
On Friday, I'll be part of the Opening Concert for the People's Music Network (PMN) Summer Convergence, along with Elise Bryant, Jane Sapp, Sav-B, and the Black Workers Center Chorus, with our host Ethiopian singer/songwriter Munit Mesfin.
On Saturday, at 11:00 a.m., I'll be celebrating the music of Joyce Brookshire with Barbara Panter & Mick Kinney at the Cabbagetown 50th Reunion - live and in person in the Joyce Brookshire Amphitheater!!
Then I'm rushing home for a 2:00 p.m. online Singing for Fun for Everyone Workshop, for the PMN Summer Convergence!
I hope you can join me for one or more of these opportunities to sing!

"I See You With My Heart" is a song of Welcome in many languages with lots of opportunities for harmony and improvisation. I wrote it with my students from the Global Village Project, a special purpose middle school for teenage refugee girls, where I use singing to teach English.
