Greetings,

"Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats." -- Voltaire

You're invited to join me next Wednesday, 2/8, 7-8:30 pm for a community sing-along at Crazy Wisdom, drawing on the Rise Again songbook. This month's theme is Songs of Healing. Bring your own songbook or use a store copy. Suggested donation: $5.  Call 665-2757 or email in...@crazywisdom.net. 114 S. Main St., Ann Arbor.

The third & last singalong in the Crazy Wisdom series will happen Wednesday, 3/15, 7-8:30 pm. March theme: Songs of Time & Changes.

My band Harmony Bones is returning to Cafe' 704 on Saturday, March 11, 8 pm. 704 Airport Blvd. Such a treat to make music with Laz Slomovits, Linda Teaman, Tom Voiles, & Eric Fithian. And hey, we've got wonderful harmonies and a plethora of folk instruments: fiddle, guitar, banjo, accordion, uilleann pipes, bodran, sitar, flute, pennywhistle, banjo-uke.  Here's a clip from our recent Gifts of Art gig at the U-M hospital. The song: "Keep your lamp trimmed and burning, 'cause this old world still needs a little help!"

And yeah, I was lucky enough to play for 11,000 good souls at the Ann Arbor Women's March, with my pals Mary Wilson, Linda Teaman, Beth Barclay, and Eric Fithian!. "What's New, Pussyhat?!"

A few more quotes:
  • "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes--including you."  --Anne Lamott
  • "If you're going through hell, keep going." --Winston Churchill
  • "I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once." --Ashleigh Brilliant
Peace & power,

Jeanne
