Happy New Year! Wheel in the sky keeps on turning...

[seanan_mcguire]

Officially, for the current dominant culture of the country where I live, the new year begins on January 1st. I don't really remember when I started celebrating the new year on November 1st, as dictated by the Wiccan calendar; it's just the time that feels right to me. Harvest is ending. We're sliding into the long winter, time for contemplation

Happy New Year!
Thanks for the Journey earworm from your journal title, too.

And irrelevant to everything but a desire to share, I'm trying to figure out how to turn your "How Much Salt" into a sing-along type of song for tonight's Chantey Sing. Admittedly, I may chicken out because of the octave drop in the refrain/chorus portion. I don't want to break anyone's neck. But as of now, I'm still trying. Maybe a modified fifth?

Honestly, I had trouble with that drop too. My best advice: go for it with all your might!

You did? But... your performance in that song is what caused me to go out and buy Thirteen. ( ref) My mind boggles.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Hee! Yay, thank you! :) Sometimes Seanan plans things on purpose to showcase her friends. She is sneaky.

But yeah, I had to work on that one a bit. :)

Ooooooooooooooooo.

Good luck!

Thanks. It turned out ok without changing the octave drop. I sucked (sang too fast, dropped the third verse flat), but the group did a great job splitting up the "Tell me Mama... tell me." The guys came barrelling in on the second "TELL ME!" so it became almost a call-and-response within the chorus itself.
