Tue Dec 16

Where: Lexington Community Center, 39 Marrett Rd, Lexington, MA
A pilot daytime song circle with Deborah Anne Goss.  RSVP: 781-698-4840
Sing a song or lead a sing-along -- with or without instruments; solo or with a group.  Songs may be of any kind, but please nothing too rude or scary.  Feel free to request a song or ask for help singing one.
6-8pm: Growing Center Outdoor Pub Sing
Somerville Community Growing Center, 22 Vinal Ave, Somerville, MA
If you don't have a Somerville parking permit, you can park on Highland Ave and walk down. Come sing in-person, outdoors, in a beautiful setting! We'll have a propane fire pit and marshmallows to toast. Other snacks are welcome.
COVID PRECAUTIONS: Because singing is a relatively high-risk activity, we ask that people attend only if vaccinated, boosted, and symptom-free. Anyone may lead a song, but no-one is obliged to. Drinking songs and sea chanteys always go over well, but anything with a good, singable chorus will be appreciated.
