Hi M,

Are you an appreciator of the following carol, which email I just shared with the UU choir email list:

"[UUCPA Choir] singing the Boar's Head Carol?

Hi, Bruce and All,

Am really enjoying in an ongoing way Steeleye Span singing the Boar's Head Carol (from the '70s) -
Steeleye Span The Boar's head Carol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVwr5B6VQZk - and wonder if there might be an opportunity to explore singing it together somewhat in the manner of Steeleye Span in the next months, or next Xmas even, for example, since it's a Christmas Carol? I would be of the veggie persuasion (for that most Scottish of dishes' haggis too!) these days
:)

(It's not the Beach Boys for perfect harmonies, S, but we could possibly explore singing them too!)

I found this sheet music on the web for it (but don't know about whether it would work for UUCPA) -

Singing specific music for bliss generation? C'est possible? Quelle musique?

See you soon.

Musical cheers,
Scott"

Heading soon to choir ... and then to bed (woke up at 5 so je suis fatigue:)

How was your day?

L,
Scott

Good Morning, M,

What are some of your favorite carols? I like carols a lot, and like to sing them, but haven't explored this very much at all - i.e. singing, thinking about them, thinking about why they're lovely, how
to sing them in new ways even. (While I really like the way Steeleye Span sings the Boar's Head carol, it's also a history and event that is a bit grisly from my current perspective).

Am appreciating the Grateful Dead (from the 60s and 70s in particularly) much, in an ongoing way, these days too (see my blog about them as well) and appreciate where they took blues and bluegrass music ... and ballads - to the space and jamming and even bliss generation place - and continue to wonder too how to create in new ways, inspired by them and, I suppose, rock and roll ... and wonder how to create further with carols and especially Scottish Country Dance music. Folk rock - like Steeleye Span - also innovated on musical forms that came before them - ballads, British folk music plus ...

What are you up to today? (How are you doing with wading in paperwork?) And what are some of your thoughts about carols, music and singing?

L, S

How to inform World University and School degrees with the freedom, space and jamming, focus and creativity +++, of the Grateful Dead (accrediting on MIT OCW in 7 languages) - say in 36 courses over 4 years for an free CC OCW undergraduate degree, Stanford comes closest to this vision in my experience and today too

{and also from a meditative, serene and centered place, too}?

The above got me searching searching for more about the Grateful Dead and Stanford just now - an ethnographic interest of mine - and the Stanford house for students - Lamba Nu - became "Jerry House" named after the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, and re sleep research at Stanford too, from at least the 1970s ...
