WOW! Happy MJEB's!

Thanks to the wonderful Elsa for suggesting I go along to a free course being put on by the City Of Sydney and the Sydney Harmony Choir. That was AWESOME! 

Musical Director Vicky Dwyer is a Kick Ass teacher - I have been to  a few over the course of time and she's the most inspiring Teacher I've seen since the recently departed great Freddy Wilson (jazz legend, hip cat, sadly missed). At the end of the lessons, the Sydney Harmony gets you to come and join in with their rehearsal. Hearing them sing is one thing, participating is entirely another. What a downright joy.

I am a fan of harmony stuff and mad crazy for Harmony Choirs, ever since I saw ZULU (over and over, love that version of men of Harlech!

(BTW by a Czech choir :-), don't you know boyo, the Welsh have some competition!)

Speaking of the Welsh I 've been fortunate enough to see the Morriston Orpheus Choir  perform live at the Sydney Opera House and there is something gorgeous about the harmonics from a massed male choir.

Love'em :-)

yes I know, Dear Reader, once again you;re scratching your head and saying '??' and in my defence I have previously stated that I dig all sorts of different musical styles, so yes, to allay the alarmed emails I sometimes get when I post this stuff, we've not gone mad and suddenly included Barbershop in our expanding definition of roots music...but then again.....LOL

Ahem - For any Sydneysiders, if you have always wanted to sing but were never game, come and join the Real Men Sing course, it's only on for another 5 weeks! It's free, its on Monday Nights at the Souths Leagues on 265 Chalmers St in Redfern, it's FREE and it's awesome.

I'm going to make Mr Wizard and Rosie come down so we can pick up our game on Tall Timbers and other songs we do with harmonies.
