[UUCPA Choir] singing together via. FM Radio

Unitarian Universalist

From Steve Johnson, who went to Haverford in the 1960s (Quaker college, and which was pretty radical then, I've heard, - and regarding envisioning & creating a better world), and grew up around Haverford before that, and sings in the UU Church of Palo Alto choir, now in a time of social isolation, due to Covid-19 quarantine, and where internet real-real time singing and music-making for community isn't yet viable:

Super, Steve and UUCPA!

Hooray for the 'Da Upper Yoopers' Barbershop Quartet & Chorus! :) only in Michigan and made only 'born in the USA' - https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-12-30/coronavirus-choir-silence ... I guess the FM transmission band must be faster than former analog copper phone lines, which are/were certainly faster than internet TCP/IP packet switching ... Could we send internet signals over FM for singing? :) ... getting to real real time ...

"Every car has a radio, he reasoned. An FM transmitter broadcasting from the mixer could let each singer hear the choir and harmonize in real time." - https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-12-30/coronavirus-choir-silence

I wanna go camping with a portable FM radio, - to sing! :)

Happy New Year, UU CPA,

Scott

Hello Dear UUCPA Choir,

Here is UU Church of Bloomington, Indiana car choir. . I sang with this group when I lived in Bloomington 2016 2017.

Happy New Year!

Dear Steve, Linda, UUCPA, UUs,

So great - real real time music-making with a FM transistor, - for remote individuals. AM appreciating that both videos you shared, the LA Times' choir, and 'Da Upper Yoopers UU choir" could be very doable in the UUCPA parking lot in the back - and since cars are naturally self-quarantining, in the Covid-19 pandemic, and potentially good sound capsules.

Bruce, will you bring a podium out to the parking lot, in lovely winter-weather California SF Bay Area? :)

If really viable, it sounds like it could be something that Apple Inc., or MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch's Music Schools (in all 7117 known living languages, as wiki schools), or a Toyota, could come to produce as a product! And is such a FM transistor already built into some brands and models of cars, simply to be engaged with the know how? And it could certainly work for any instrument in a car, such as the Scottish Small Pipes in a van (https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/track/the-pumpkins-fancy-h-scott-gk-macleod), but not the Great Highland Bagpipes, for example. And in what ways are FM transistor set ups easily connected, or in, our smart phones already, or connectable to our laptops, I wonder (for possibly less good sound quality than a car?) ... and how to develop a FM transistor for choirs, with specific needs of choir singers in mind, and small musical instrument players too?

Am wondering too how all these digital technologies - like the Apple-Google tracing App on our smartphones - combined with electronic medical records after receiving a vaccine, if medically mandated, will change the dynamic of the the make ups of choirs, and churches, if some people might need to self-quarantine indefinitely; could this lead to further home singing, with excellent FM transistor add-ons, from car, home or smartphone? Please keep us posted!

Any thoughts about the UU Choir of Kensington / Berkeley in the east bay hills, and joining it virtually - with a FM transistor?

Here's an unfolding inquiry about transcendentalism writ personal - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/forest-park-portland-oregon-hiroshi.html - somehwhat informed by UU thinking since the first half of the 1800s; appreciating Paul Sawyer's thinking here too. :)

Musical cheers, & Non-theistically Quakerly / Friendly regards,

Scott

Ed Smyth MD and mental health

Ken Thompson MD & mental health

Thanks, Ed, so much for your New Year's and birthday call! (Am wondering if I should be concerned re NVG re your nausea/migraine thinking - but a nonissue since we aren't anywhere close to connecting, so am continuing to circulate). I'll seek some trails for Sunday! It was really nice to talk, and congratulations on your walk with Ellen and Bob! 🙂 (On with WUaS publishing, and piping, and World Univ & Sch!!) ... Desiderata revisiting ahead - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - and am remembering George A MD's observation, as a thinking language-oriented psychiatrist too - about hope in becoming more sophisticated. See you Sunday! And congratulations on your upcoming retirement! Happy New Year!

Desiderata Original Text

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story...

Appreciating your thinking and sophistication, Ed! In what ways might the Mcfarlanes have connections with VP elect Kamala Harris, I wonder ? I heard also friends Gantt - & Tym L ?  - and Rob Byrne in your voice a bit. Am curious too about my level of cat 'allergies' in Canyon, where I've been quite independent from 'cats' in general. And Nicole? A house, a connection, communication, a family ... Good mental health together in Canyon (where my former landlord may both be mentally ill, in need of a MD psychiatrist?, and a criminal? even), or Cambridge MA, or elsewhere ... And regarding developing such sophisticated as well as psychiatric thinking at World Univ & Sch as well?

What's orangutan mental health for humans, brainstorming-wise, in contrast to gorilla mental health or common chimp or Bonobo chimp mental health or lemur mental health or baboon mental health (200+ species of higher ape?) in a new conceiving, riffing and reframing-wise in language, of mental health re humans, of my own mental health .... Are OLD-FASHIONED or traditional  nuclear families in the USA either gorilla or orangutan (relatively solitary individuals - until this might be dispelled as problematic primatology, like Fran's de Waal's hippy-chimp, very sexual in all pairings, peace love & happiness  non-harming interpretations of Bonobo) in a sense - and in covid-19 pandemic times ...

And in my UC BERKELEY Anthropology talk on 12/18/21, on creating a realistic virtual Harbin, I mention Friends Hospital (1813) as an asylum (philosophy even?), and in regards to Harbin Hot Springs as a hot springs's retreat center, and even regarding online psychiatry at WUaS (for Harbin circles esp too)  http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html?m=0 - Creating a Realistic Virtual Earth Harbin for Tourism

That diurnal rhythm thing, Ed ? 🙂 ... sounds good ... looks like the weather underground is now reporting rain today and rain Monday, but mist and fog tomorrow ... could me misty moisty .. will have to deliberate at trailhead about covered shoes without lift, or Birkenstocks with helpful lift ... will bring lunchy munchies too :) I'm optimistic that if we click on the same AllTrails' direction link into Maps, that it will take us to the same spot ... Maps said 42 minutes tonight ... sounds like Muir & Tennessee trail loop are pretty close ... see you there around 11am tomorrow 🙂

California & 7 other US states: I learned today from MD friend on New Year's walk, in Marin, that one way to conceive of Kaiser Permanente's approach to #Psychiatry and #MentalHealthMatters #PsychTwitter is thru 3 Ss - Stress, Sleep & Sexuality - & with not much 1-1 psychotherapy - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1345941515852341249?s=19 in reply to https://twitter.com/cadoganhealthc1/status/1344938702712270848?s=19 (See too ...https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1345426111409262592?s=19) Thoughts?

Hi David, (and Ma),

I hope you're having a good New Year! How are you?

Here's the amazing concert, that I'm wondering about riffing with in part with Piobaireachd (classical Scottish bagpiping music) inspirationally, with at least 2 Scottish smallpipes -

The Allman Brothers Band Featuring Jerry Garcia ‎– Live at the Cow Palace, 1973
https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I

at the
2:38:00 mark is close to what I had in mind, and heard the other day, for a piping blues' conversation with Piobaireachd, but what about this rhythm (and other instruments)?

and at the
2:56 for tone and rhythm - this may be the lullaby folk song I heard, with lyrics, and which I'm wondering about riffing with, with Piobaireachd ...
Hush Little Baby lyrics
https://www.considerable.com/entertainment/songs/hush-little-baby/

and at 3:16:00 or so

This concert is really 'together' - and kinda amazing, even a kinda trip :)

Musical cheers,

Scott

Happy New Year 2021 to you ~
