For all my beloved friends and donors asking, "Melanie! Is the record done yet?" Here's what's done and what's estimated. And extra stuff like sourdough bread making! With Jay Pellicci at Ne Improved Recording.
Wow!
Holy cow, wow. My singing class at the Freight & Salvage pretty much sold out last night - all 13 of us tucked into a wonderful room on the second floor. I'm not sure who was more over the moon - the students rocking out to Marvin Gaye's How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You, or me with the profound privilege of sharing what I know to grow these seedlings into full on powerful plants. It was just plain awesome.
Now, at the Freight & Salvage
Oh yessss, it's tonight! A new 6-week series of Singing Outside the Shower: Blues & Motown starts tonight at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. I used to just plain old pour coffee there, so it's particularly sweet for me to return as a teacher to support adult beginners, some of my most favorite work in the world.
There are 4 spots left, so scoop em up, below!
