Food for Thought (#16)

Posted by on Aug 07 2009 | Food For Thought, Songtaneous

Alchemy is when the energy of that which is being held changes the container.
Eileen Corrigan

Sounds like a definition of improvisation to me. *smile*

Speaking of containers and changes, I tweaked the Songtaneous Blog design a bit.

My list of Improvisational Vocalists (aka spontaneous singers) was becoming too long to reside happily in the sidebar. So I built a dedicated page that includes the artist names and links to their web sites. Find this new longer list on its own page – Spontaneous Singers. (See the menu at the top of the blog or the sidebar at right for links to the page, too).

I also tidied up my post Categories (see sidebar at right) to help make posts easier to find.

Let me know what you think!

Remember Songtaneous is THIS SATURDAY (i.e. tomorrow) from 2 to 4 pm.
Hope to sing with you soon. ~sg

“To listen is to continually give up all expectation and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.”
Mark Nepo

Reminder: The next Songtaneous session is Saturday, August 8. Visit the events page for more info.

“The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” — Alan Alda
