[Dialogue] A few songs for a singalong - tech help

[Janice Ulangca]

Thanks, Dick - appreciate the offer.  With only my current capabilities, I would need tech help!  But Paul Marano (his wife is Alice Rose) will help with the recording session - he has a tech-related business and can do MP3 as well as CDs.

There is concern about copyright issues when things are on the internet.  This may be less of a problem when words are completely original with us.  But we'll see what the consensus is and let you know.

  I did figure out how to post the CD songs in MP3 format.  I'd be happy to do it again.

    About a month ago, there was a discussion about ICA songs.  Dressler long-playing records were put on the internet, as were titles and words of songs - so many of these that perhaps it may be a complete list - at least so far.  And there were exciting suggestions for colleagues to gather and sing, on front porches, for example.

    Saturday Sept. 20 colleagues will be gathering in Troy, NY for a pre-international-conference afternoon workshop.  That morning a few of us will spend a couple of hours singing (with piano), and recording some of the songs, as another contribution to sharing our song heritage.  The recording equipment is in a church, and the voices are not professional.  We will have valiant forces on hand, but will not spend the whole two hours polishing 2 songs.  Instead, we will have fun.  CD's will be available at cost; perhaps their most appropriate use would be for those who really love the songs, to sing along with.  This way people can sing louder to cover any possible shortcomings in the recordings.

    So far we have suggestions for the following list of songs. I don't honestly know how many songs we will have time for.  We'll set up a priority list, and then add others as we can.

    SUGGESTIONS SO FAR
    The Vision
    New Community Bound (tune, Won't You Play a Simple Melody)
    Delta Pace
    Sudtonggan
    Gibson Town
    Cabaret Song "Shocking! My life's anew, vict'ry! Shocking!  It's certitude, trembling!"
    Rainbow Trail
    Once to Every One and Nation
    Those Who Wait on the Lord
    Lift Every Voice and Sing
    For All the Saints
    Journey On


    Not really suggestions yet, but other possibilities:

    Harambee (Harambee, harambee, tuimbe pamoja)
    At the Center Tranquil  (tune, Shenandoah)
    The Rose
    All Life Is Open (tune, Guantanamerra)
    Fifth City Love Song (tune, And I Love You So)
    Come and Go With Me to that Land

    If you think you might be interested in such a CD, two questions:
    1)  Are there another few songs that you would yearn to sing along with?
    2)  Are there 2 or 3 on the list of suggestions (or possibilities) that you'd just as soon cut to make room for others?

    Please let me know by Tuesday Sept. 16.  You can reply to me individually - or if you think your ideas need wider feedback, the listserv.  Thanks, and good singing - whatever songs sustain you these days.
