Well, NO ONE won the Free Tickets last night to the HARMONY CELEBRATION CHORUS
show on  Dec. 1 in Lodi  NJ...with VOCAL SPECTRUM, 2006 BHS CHAMPS!  (No one
close enought to actually USE the tickets, anyway!)  Leo Larivee in MA, Cindy
Schlicht in MN, and Elsemala in Colorado DID correctly identify the mystery
quartet as ...VOCAL SPECTRUM themselves!  I started with their lesser known
songs and played several throughout the night, ending with those more familiar
to the listeners.

I also gave out a "secret code word" so supporters of The Harmony Network in the
NJ area could call an 800 number  for a limited time and get two-for-one
tickets, so I hope many listeners availed themselves of that opportunity!

I also had a Triple Trivia Contest, with a theme of 3 Quartets who competed in
Calgary...many guessed the right quartet names...but did not identify them all
with the right cut!  So, no winners for either contest last night!

Next Monday I have two MORE CDs to debut:  RAZZCALS and an a capella delight
called METRO GNOME (by the daughter of a barbershopper ... more details to
follow!)

Gentlemen:

Our new mixed a cappella vocal jazz group is looking for a tenor. We
aren't professionals, but the vocal talent and musicianship of the
singers in the group is fairly high. We are doing some fun,
challenging pieces, and hope to perform soon.

We rehearse every Monday from 7:45 to 9:45 in Culver City. Regular,
reliable attendance is very important.

I don't require that you be able to sight read music, but
you must at least be able to read music well enough to pound your
part out on a keyboard at home. "Learning by ear" simply doesn't work
in a group this size.

If you're interested, or would like more information, please contact
me at strategiccreative@...

Thanks,

David

Hi Gang,

Well, after spending the last 10 years with my radio audience on Thanksgiving
evening, this year my travels will prevent me from being with you.? I have hoped
this year that THN...The harmony Network, would have been moved to a 24-7
broadcast format and then, we would have been able to re-broadcast a "Best Of"
show for your listening enjoyment.? But as you are all aware, the funding issues
this year have prevented us from moving to that format.

Hopefully, we will be on the air next week resuming one of the longest running
acappella radio shows in the country.? Thanks for being such loyal listeners and
we look forward to being in the "Air Chair" next Thursday with the beginnings of
our "HOLIDAY SHOWS".

In Harmony,

Rich Taylor

We are producing a ten-volume audio book series entitled Mission Earth
which is a science fiction satire written by L. Ron Hubbard.

There is a lot of original music we are scoring for this and there is
a very short piece in a style similar to Carmina Burana, about 40
seconds long, that I need to bring in eight singers for (two of each
voicing). I estimate the recording to take about one hour.

There will be pay involved.

I need to record this on Friday morning or early afternoon. The
recordings will be done at Mad Hatter Studios in Silver Lake (you can
check out our website at
http://www.madhatterstudio.com if you're interested).

My contact information is below.

Hi to all those who have ever listened to The "APPLAUSE" Show since 1997 and/or
THN...The Harmony Network since March of 2004.? We hope this email finds you
well and that the beginning of your holiday season is les hectic than ours.

As most of you have read on these discussion groups, THN...The Harmony Network
was chartered as a "Non-Profit" 501 (c)3 organization on March 12, 2004.? The
Network has had as many as 6 shows on the air each week from the studios of
WVRM, 1620AM, 91.9FM and Comcast Cable Channel 34, and has been a Totally
Listener Supported venture since it's beginning in 2004.? We have struggled to
survive, to say the least, but somehow, each crisis we faced was resolved
because of listeners such as all who have sent even a $5.00 donation.? The
Network has tried in the last 4 months to raise enough money or to find one
commercial sponsor to allow us to go to a 24/7 format of live and pre-recorded
radio shows.? Although we did get enough to continue to the end of the year, we
now face unpaid bills and have, in the last 8 weeks, seen only $12.50 in
donations from our listeners or any groups interested in "all vocal music...all
the time".

We have decided to terminate the Network with our last show to be broadcast on
Sunday, December 23, 2007 from 7-11:00PM Eastern Time Zone.? We hope you will
join us for our last show that will have all of the THN family in the studio.?
The broadcast can be found at www.villageradio.com.

We want to have one more opportunity for fund-raising, only to pay the past due
bills that now total over $500.00.? HERE IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO:
Many artists have sent us CD's over the years that have gone into our "Premium
Library" that has been used to send "thank you" gifts to people that have sent
donations.? We are going to divide the Premium Library into 3 "Lots" and offer
them in a silent auction to all barbershoppers and vocal music afficianados.?
Within the next week, you will be advised of the contents of the 3 Lots and you
will have an opportunity to send your "bids" to us.? On Friday, Dec 21, we will
announce the successful bidders and get the CD's to them before Christmas.?
These lots?could consist of? 25 CD's, 50 CD's and 100 CD's or more based on the
number in the Premium Library.? They will consist of barbershop...male and
female...chorus and quartets, contemporary acappella, vocal jazz, gospel, high
school and collegiate acappella artists.? Each CD "Lot" will be NEW UNOPENED
CD's from the artists listed.? We will give you names of the artists, CD titles
and style of group for each CD in each Lot.?

We want to thank every one of you that has ever listened to The APPLAUSE Show
since 1997 and to THN...The Harmony Network since 2004.? All of our volunteer
staff members, the folks who have offered their time and talent to help the
Network grow, appreciate your support and hope that in the future, radio as a
medium for spreading the gospel of vocal harmony will be recognized and
financially supported by the organizations that participate in vocal harmony as
a form of music.

Look for continued announcements about the final weeks of THN...The Harmony
Network, "All Vocal Harmony...All The Time"

Sincerely yours,

The Staff and Family of THN...The Harmony Network

Hi, my name's Lenore, and I just joined the la-acappella egroup today.  I was
born in the days of do-wop and grew up during the Beatles era (numbers feel so
limiting).

You can see a video of a very fun and clever version of "The 12 Days of
Christmas" by the a capella group "Straight, No Chaser" here: 
http://youtube.com/watch?v=2Fe11OlMiz8 .  Also, a reminder to save the date for
the the L.A. Harmony Sweepstakes regional competition on March 15, 2008, at the
Hermosa Beach Community Playhouse.

I am currently looking for a group to sing with that meets once or more weekly. 
I live in Mt. Washington (near Los Feliz and Eagle Rock) and am also in Beverly
Hills area frequently.  I would prefer a smallish group (12 or under) and I
particularly like jazz arrangements (Manhattan Transfer style, e.g.) but am
interested in other genres also.

Here's a mini performing bio:

I sang in Opera A La Carte (soprano in the chorus) for some years, was in the
Los Angeles Cambridge Singers (Alex Ruggieri), the L.A. Jazz Choir Workshop, the
CSUN jazz choir, the Voices of Christmas, and in a variety of other groups.  I
was a soloist at Makom Ohr Shalom Temple for over ten years.  I also have a
dance background.  Please contact me via email at uclenore@... if you
know of a group that might be a good fit.

Thank you very much.

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Lenore

4 current members and 1 past member of SoundStage decided to unite and
enter the "Caroling for a Caravan" contest sponsored by "The View" on
ABC. Kyle Bowen wrote the lyrics that required keywords (in only 20
minutes), and Bradley Hampton set the lyrics to his own 30
second "Jingle Bells" arrangement. The carol was chosen as one of the
12 winners. SoundStage will receive a new fully loaded 2008 Dodge
Caravan! "The View" is planning to show the clip of the winning carol
Monday December 17th.

If that wasn't exciting enough for SoundStage, ABC news plans to
highlight their win in a brief segment on the local news. It is
believed that the segment is planned to air in the evening of the 17th.

You can hear and see SoundStage on their myspace page.

SoundStage just heard from the producer at ABC (Channel 7), that their
segment will air on the 4PM news on Monday, December 17th. Thanks for
watching!

Tis the season...tra la la.  I would enjoy joining up, on a volunteer basis,
with a group that is planning to do Christmas carolling somewhere, like at a
hospital or convalescent home perhaps.  I still have a Dickensonian carolling
outfit from when I worked with the Voices of Christmas years ago.  I live in Mt.
Washington (near Los Feliz and Eagle Rock) and am also in the Beverly Hills/West
L.A. area frequently.  I sang soprano in the V. of C. but have also carolled as
an alto at times.

Sincerely,

Lenore

Hello;  My Name is Manuel but most of my friends call me Manny,

I've just now come across your group and I think I may have at last
found the perfect forum.  I am currently singing with my church choir in
Irvine, Ca. but we are not scheduled to rehearse again until sometime in
February.

I prefer to sing in the tenor range but depending on the needs of the
ensamble,  I can support the groups texture and the needs of the song
best by knowing your part as well as mine for the best stability and
reliability.  in other words you can count on my voice being there where
you need it to be unless we are specifically singing new harmonies

I Love the vocal harmonies of the Christian A capella group called Glad
and have sung many of their songs before. I sing these as my daily
devotional praise.

I Love to sing praise songs ,  contemporary christian songs that are
doctrinally and inspirationally rewarding, those that are uplifting and
engraciating to the listener, whether they be belivers or not, this I
believe is the whole purpose of singing at all and that is why I
especially Love Christian A capella.

I live some what near by in La Puente, Ca. and Work in Torrance, Ca.
these locations at first may seem like geographical limitations  to you
at first  and may even seem to be disqualifiers to you depending upon
your location and circumstances but fellow kindredly spirited singers
are not that easy to come across and once found are well worth knowing.

I sing in tune and can sight read some what and I have played and sung
before audiences before and being that I now Love to sing before the
Lord, I have no fear.

I wright and compose lyrics and melodies according to where His spirit
leads me, they usually take the form of poems and songs that morf into
anthems of Praises

There are many different levels of collaboration and distance should not
be a limiting factor in this day and age but rather interests and
desires and motivations are feathers that can bind one to another and
cause some to stick together.

If any one Loves the lord and wants to sing on a professional level for
His Glory lets talk it over and sing.

As for me and myself, I will sing before the Lord as this has become my
endeavor, alone if needs be, but prefferably in harmony together.

Call me if this has struck a cord in your artistic Christrian
spirititual journey.  the road is narrow and I would happily love to
hear from you about your endeavors and desires in His service.

May The Lord Bless and keep You Always.
