Tonight's Shanty Sing

My friend Matt and his wife Deb took videos of me (well, at my request) singing the two songs I sang at tonight's Shanty Sing.

This is me opening up the sing (after the first song that the organizer leads off with). Or about half of my song, anyway:

This is me singing a similar sort of song to open the second half of the evening. I normally

I love the fact I can see your hair swishing! Also your singing voice is different than I expected. I love the Julianna one.

I think of my singing voice as pretty much being my speaking voice (for good or ill), so that's interesting. But as I note here, from the inside and from the outside are different things.

In other topics: I've been following all of your major life news on Facebook. Warm congratulations!

Yay, Julianna! Such a great song. Actually, I love both of these. I'm curious how it feels different to you from the inside, because I think it also feels different to me from the inside. Last song night I led a song that Ken usually leads, and it felt so totally different leading it than it did singing along.

Also, I can barely imagine posting a video of me leading a song on the internet, never mind watching it myself, without being extremely embarrassed, so more power to you!

Hi Anna. Glad you saw these. I wish you could have been there -- there were lots of fine moments. I think you can see why I enjoy these evenings

This last weekend I was at the fourth annual West Coast Queer Contra Dance Camp, and one couple there -- Mike and Brad -- had not only moved to Minneapolis since I'd seen them at last year's camp, but also said they had done sea shanties with you.

Well, Mike has yes. I met them at the East Coast Gender Free Camp. They -- along with some friends of mine -- are organizing a gender-free dance right here in June with the hopes of making it a regular thing.

I'm glad you ran into them and made the connection.
