Wendy this has turned out to be such a SPECIAL season!
Some truly memorable contributions this week! Thank you.
I agree. This started out to be a season that seemed like an impossibility for so many but when there's a will there's a way and people pulled together and got things done. If it weren't for the fact that I don't sleep I couldn't have found any time this week to help out. Anytime there is a season that connects us together is a great season.
What a beautiful season this is. I see love everywhere, friendships deepening, possibilities for music making widening and music videos that will become precious to everyone involved. Thankyou Wendy.
Oh, thanks to all of you ...
all of you! Everyone who's contributed so far, everyone who's at work on something or considering it, or even lurking and listening (though speak up if you are ... there are some wonderful opportunities available to get some loving and expert support and hand-holding in making your first Seasons entry ... whole lotta folks here eager to make music with
you).
So much terrific stuff ... I see you've all been busy while I was at Neil's home partying all day with him and his wife and sweet daughter and lovely friends. I'm going to do my best to catch up on playlists and comments tomorrow morning ... and then Sunday it's
my turn to host an all-day music party, which I expect Neil will attend. So this latter part of the week is going to be a bit more challenging for both of us to keep up with you all! But we'll do our best, and ... as has happened in my previous Seasons ... it may be a bit of a challenge to manage that last day. And then busy work week. So be patient - sorry about the timing ... the Sunday party is to honor a musical friend who'll be in town, and I learned about that long after I signed up to host. So we'll roll with it the best we can.
We also took advantage of today's rather quiet party to sneak off and make a duo video (after working it out in front of the early party guests, and in between performing it for later ones, and for one stay-at-home almost-attendee by FaceTime), inspired by Lynda's birthday thread, which I'll post in a moment.
And likely we'll be able to make some more duos happen at Sunday's party with others ... and the two women who share my home have also expressed interest in doing one with me here ... so, busy week for us and we'll do our best to balance hosting and participating. Because we too are enjoying this opportunity to connect and make music with each other and other friends and share in the magic of Season 2-oh!-2.
Anyway, yeah, what Pa and Linda and Jon said above ... you all really captured the spirit of the Season in your lovely comments. I confess I was a bit worried when we got off to a slow start, but the kind of stuff that's unfolding now is exactly the kind of stuff I'd envisioned when I first thought up this theme. I'm glad we all got through that awkward teething phase ... we are flying now!
There's still more than two full days left, so if you haven't joined in yet and would like to be a part of the magic-making, I think you can see from some of the recent examples just how easy it is to do that. Grab someone near you and dash off something quick and fun ... or do one yourself - video and/or audio - and post it here ... and it seems pretty certain someone will take whatever you bring us and add something wonderful to it!
I'm loving all the terrific stuff so far, and excited to see what the next two days will bring!
