Let’s get together and
sing. We’re looking for people in the Ithaca area who want
to get together to lead a folk song, and join in on others’ songs. We’ve been singing once a month since
September 2011. We welcome folk songs,
traditional ballads, chanteys, & songs, as well as contemporary folk songs
with traditional roots. Everyone
welcome. Bring your acoustic instrument
or sing a capella. We take turns going
around the circle to lead or request a song.
One person guides the turn-taking, encourages beginners, discourages
noisy side conversations, and generally tries to keep things on track.
Song Themes. In
2019 every other month we’ll select a theme for our singing. It’s just a loose guideline to prompt our
memories for old songs or motivate us to learn something new. But don’t feel constrained. If you don’t happen to have a song ready on
today’s theme, then sing something else.
In the alternatie months, there will be no set theme.
January’s Theme is Songs about songs or singing
Location. We sing in
the TC Worker’s Center, beyond the Ten Forward Café mezzanine, upstairs from
Autumn Leaves books, 115 The Commons, downtown Ithaca.
Join us! Let’s
build a stronger network of Ithaca folksingers. Come sing us a song!
Help us get the word out.
