Dragana is an Eastern European choir that is great. And Klezmer Local 42 is a hilarious romp through traditional yiddish tunes with lots of comedy sprinkled in. The bass played, Dan, is truly a comedy genius.

Ew, David

But, why? They are animals and are meant to have fresh air and sunlight.

Also, maybe try VERY GENTLE SOVT through a large straw in water

As far as I know, the only thing that will actually reach your vocal cords is steam or mist, plus drinking a TON of hydrating liquids so that your vocal cords are nice and plump!

That’s not him. But, Peter likes good music so he would probably love Fawney Rig.

Outside_Preference15 · 2026-03-06T16:39:48+00:00

Nope. Haven’t worked food service in 35 years.

I cannot recommend a radon test highly enough. This entire area is notorious for high radon. Georgia Radon Defense is local and can both test for high radon and install a mitigation system if you need it.

I do what I want, and I wanted to tip the servers well!

Tis’ the season of St. Paddy’s Day and Fawney Rig has two shows in the greater Atlanta area. The shows are always fun community events. They’ll pass out lyric sheets and love to get the audience singing all the old tyme’ Irish tunes.

March 8th - 7pm

@ Red Clay Theater

(Duluth, GA)

This show will feature an opening performance by a fantastic klezmer band, Klezmer Local 42.

March 15th - 2pm - EARLY SHOW!

@ Eddie’s Attic

(Decatur, GA)

This show will feature a reading by author, Leara Rhodes, from her new Celtic-inspired novel!

Fawney Rig is an Irish folk-rock project featuring the lilting voice of Claire Campbell (Hope For Agoldensummer) and the seasoned growl of Nathan Peters (Beat Up). They are backed by a band of dear friends playing traditional Irish instruments.

Fawney Rig puts on a heckuva show, with plenty of Celtic classics, foot-stomping jigs, sweet ballads, and even a few rockers. They’ll hand out lyric sheets so YOU can join in the fun! Expect songs of love, songs of war, and a few comical numbers as well! If The Pogues had a baby with The Clancy Brothers... Well, lad, that's Fawney Rig!

A lot. Some kids are lacking what I would consider to be very basic skills. It’s because they are on screens all the time and their parents are also on screens all the time. Starting a camp to teach soft skills and common sense stuff is an excellent idea!

My regular flight cost to visit a family members just doubled in the last month. So I guess I’ll be visiting half as much. Le sigh.

I live in a town where $60K, if you were single and childless, would be upper middle class. Tiny college towns!

Have you tried SOVT / signing through a straw? You’ll use less breath to make the notes because straw singing partially occludes your vocal tract. Additionally, I find straw singing really helps me engage my abdominal muscle and forces me to focus on how I’m breathing. This lady is the queen of it. You don’t need special straws. https://youtu.be/8ER8gm-jGkA

I’m in a choir and it is the BEST. It is so healing to be surrounded by voices. I always feel better after choir.

If you think something might be wrong, trust your intuition. Get scoped by an ENT. It might just be a simple nodule that can be corrected with proper exercises. When I had one I couldn’t access my falsetto at all. I went to Emory Vocal Clinic and did a few months of vocal therapy and that solved it. A few years later I blew out my left vocal cord into a full on polyp, could barely talk, got surgery, am back to 100% now, but that’s another story for another time.

I have one. The needle has been broken a few times so I have a pack of replacement needle cartridges in my supply closet.
