Somerville Armory Zoom Pub Sing - 2nd Thursday

Come share chorus songs!

Zoom link:
We try to add the zoom info for each sing to the corresponding entry in the following calendar a day or so before the event: https://www.bostonsongsessions.org/virtual-sessions. Please email jeff.keller@gmail.com if you have difficulties, but please don't wait until the last minute, as he may not be checking email during (or immediately before) a sing.

For best results:

• If you can, download and install the latest version of the Zoom app and enable original sound.
• Have a good network connection.
• Have a decent microphone.
• Turn off automatic volume control
  --------------------------------

Based on a traditional English pub sing, but with a bit of an American flavor, our session meets twice a month (on each 2nd Thursday and 4th Tuesday), and is open to all.

Pub singing emphasizes spontaneity, rich harmonies, and energetic joy. But, most of all, it emphasizes GROUP PARTICIPATION! We're looking for songs that allow everyone to join in, rather than solo performances that reduce everyone but the leader to the role of passive observer.

We love the fine old drinking songs and know plenty of sea chanteys and chorus songs from the British Isles and New England. But pretty much anything goes, as long as it encourages everyone to participate. Bring a song to share, or just join in on the choruses.

Very important to us is that ABSOLUTELY NOBODY SHOULD EVER FEEL PRESSURED INTO LEADING A SONG. Of course we hope you'll be interested in leading a song, but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with spending the session singing along, without leading a song.

IMPORTANT NOTE 1: This sing is not solely a Meetup group event, and takes place even if nobody from Meetup says they are attending.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: For those that are able, please consider making a donation to Arts at the Armory, at https://artsatthearmory.org/donate/, to help them through this difficult time. We really want it to still be there when we're ready to resume gathering in person!
