           Calling all Pickers and Grinners*!

                         *Pickers = musicians/singers, Grinners = listeners/audience

  Kate Schuman and Shaw, Inc. invite you to

   Shaw Sings! 

  A Shaw community program all about music.

  6:30-8:00 on the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesday 

  Starting October 3rd.

  WHO should come? 

  All are invited.  Family-friendly.  Your guests are welcome, too!  

  If you play an instrument, bring it!  If you want to just listen, that’s OK!

  WHAT will we do?

  Pretty much whatever we want, but here’s some ideas:

  Sing songs we already know and maybe learn some new ones.  

  Talk a little about the voice and singing.  Explore harmonizing.  

  Try writing a new verse for an old song.  Share fun facts about songs.

  WHERE is this happening?  

  Shaw Community Building.

  WHEN is it? 

  First and third Tuesdays, 6:30-8:00pm.

  Oct. 3 & 17│Nov. 7 & 21│Dec. 5 & 19

  Jan. 2 & 16│Feb. 6 & 20│March 5 & 19│April 2 & 16│May 7 & 21

  Because we’ll be singing indoors, chairs will be spaced 10 feet apart.  

  Please stay home if you feel unwell or have been exposed to a sick person.

  Kate will provide music books and direction.

  All you need to do is show up, and please do!

  Ellen Bass:  A Life of Poetry

  Ellen Bass is the author of four poetry collections, including Indigo (2020) by Copper Canyon Press. Her poems have appeared in hundreds of publications. She writes with humor and compassion because “we are all so terribly imperfect — starting with myself. And that willingness to feel, even a little, what someone else is feeling is what joins us most intimately to others.” The NYT’s wrote, “Bass’s work…cultivates an exuberance that’s born of, and balanced by, close watchfulness.”
