Speakers still sound
good
After 25 years of service I have finally replaced my Bose
bookshelf speakers with a new pair of speakers. In the interests of
recycling I am prepared to sell the old Boses. They still sound good,
although all of the speaker coverings have faded away in the mists of
time. As a second set of speakers they should work fine. $50 or best
offer.

Everyone can sing
wonderfully
First I've got two beginner singer classes
starting in the next few weeks that have room for 2 more singers each.
The first is on -Friday night from 7 to 8/30pm,
running 8 weeks, starting 2nd week of January.
The second is on -Sunday afternoons from 1 till
2/30pm, running 8 weeks, starting as above.
These are fun workshops designed for those who
want to improve their singing experience.
In the singing classes,we'll do lots of singing,
work on building confidence, finding problem areas; why things don't work,
gaining tools to solve things, ear training and technique, and relax, sing and
have fun with others who love to sing. I gear each class to the participants, so
it can range from beginners to fairly advanced. There's always something that
can be solved! I believe everyone can sing wonderfully; this course is
designed to gather the tools and courage.
Organ needs a home
The multi-talented Gary
Bluestone has a Hammond BC (an older B3) which he's looking to
find a home for... until he
has the space himself.
Worst case, he's got a
place for in Newmarket, but would like it closer to home.
My guess, it's footprint is
about 2.5' by 5' , and would make a dandy TV stand or a very
precarious aquarium
base.

Incredible Truth of
Prophecy Revealed!
"As democracy is perfected, the office of President
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great
and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at
last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
