Announcing: The 2008 Mid-Winter Singing Festival Evening Song Leaders (Feb. 1-2, 2008)

To those who love to sing;

After last year's foray to the East Coast to bring Tom Paxton and his wonderful songs to the Singing Festival, in February, 2008 we will stay a little closer to our Michigan roots.

Claudia Schmidt, Sally Rogers and Joel Mabus will lead the Friday evening Community Sing at 8 pm on Feb.1, 2008. On Saturday, Feb. 2, at 7 pm Joel and Claudia will be joined by Frank Youngman. Both sings will be held at the Hannah Community Center in East Lansing, Michigan.

Different songs will be sung each evening; lyric books will be provided.

These four are long-time pals and are very excited to be a part of the festival, sharing and singing songs they love (among them, the emails have already started...each suggesting songs, arrangements, etc...). Claudia and Joel will also be giving Saturday afternoon workshops and Frank Youngman will lead the 11 am FREE Children's Concert. We'll forward those specifics as soon as they are finalized.

For now, the news is that four marvelous musicians - folks we know well, and who we love to sing with, will be leading us in grand singing at the 2008 Mid-Winter Singing Festival.

More as we go...

Without you, there is no sound.

Sincerely,

Sally Potter
