We currently have two main alternating Meetups: - One is a "Chord jam" where we all play and sing the same song at once, and the experts get a chance to solo. - The other is a "Performance Night" where we each take turns playing a song solo or with a friend. These are usually blues, rags, bluegrass, country or also folk/modern, d …

If you're using your voice to further your career as a singer, performer, or keynote speaker, you know how vital it is to work from your best vocal capability.

You've got to be able to breathe properly, reach your full range of notes, have more stamina, relaxation, and more power for projection. I know that all too well, as I continue to be an active performer myself. By working with the same proprietary Controlled Relaxation t …

Trying to plan a May Day Meetup in NYC to surprise a buddy on the day of his bachelor party. The long story is this: we grew up in the Washington DC area and went to a school that celebrated May Day (not the USSR celebration with missiles, — the old English celebration with Morris Dancers, tumblers, Maypoles, and singing of songs like "Unite and Unite".) I'm trying to get a group of singers and dancers together on the upper west side at 4 in the afternoon on May 1, 2010 to surprise the groom-to- …
