BSQ ...... The Cop on the Beat, The Man In The Moon, and Me
 
CHORDIAC ARREST ...... After He's Gone (The Mortician's Medley)

Hi all,

Just moved to NYC and have been actively trying to find groups to
audition for.  I thought it might be interesting to start a new co-ed
group.  I sang A Cappella for 4 yrs in college, graduated in May, and
miss it so much! Email me if you're interested in getting this project
underway!

Have a great weekend,
Annie

I was just listening to the new Singers Unlimited 2CD release "The
Complete A Cappella Sessions" and felt I had to share this song with
New Yorkers as it's so perfect for you at this time of year.

Listen to quite possibly the best a cappella group ever as they sing
the Gene Puerling arrangement of "Autumn In New York":-

15th Annual Intensive Voice & Song Workshop in Italy
June 25 - July 6, 2007
www.TuscanyProject.com

Dear Colleagues,

I am sending you news about an extraordinary, international voice project in
Italy!
Please feel free to forward this information to friends and colleagues.

I have found this workshop incredibly useful for exploring my singing in greater
depth,
and for enhancing my vocal and performance skills. Plus, the villa where the
workshop is
held is magnificent.

The Tuscany Project's unique workshop blends group and individual work focusing
on
each person's growing edge in the areas of vocal exploration, movement, song
interpretation and performance, performing presence, and individual and group
songs.

Enrollment is international. Adult singers of all levels are welcome.

For complete information, visit the website: www.TuscanyProject.com

Sending wishes for a joyous holiday season filled with music and song.

With warm regards,

Gail Zarren
Member of Revels Circle of Song

    All About Buford seeks one or two powerful singers. We need pro-level
singers with stage presence and power, any voice part. Someone with a
strong solo voice who can groove. All performances are PAID.

Great ear required. Songwriting and arranging skills a plus; ability
to play other instruments also welcomed. Willingness to work with some
pedal effects. Songs are arranged collectively - you will often not be
reading from written arrangements (think band structure). All members
get a chance to sing lead, but also will be required to sing blended
but creative backup parts. The music is pop-oriented, with a little of
whatever else moves us, so you must have a pop voice and sensibility,
and a hip look - we aspire to present a good visual onstage as well as
good music! Must be able to make a commitment to some touring, and
consistent gigging. Competent mic technique and comfortable
performance skills (movement, ability to banter and joke) required.

We perform at listening rooms, festivals and concert halls of
prestige. We have strong relationships with many high-end venues, with
new performances being booked all the time. Booking is done both
internally and externally, but all management and business is
currently done internally by the members of the band. New recording in
the works.

We are a vocal band based in the Boston area, but we are a commuting
band, so disparate locations are ok. Rehearsals approximately once a
week (when geographically together), perhaps more during the initial
phase.

Please contact via e-mail (amy@...) with sound clips,
photo and bio/resume.  We look forward to hearing from you and to a
creative, fun, and innovative project!

    Subject: THN...The Harmony Network Needs Your support We are Dark until January 4th     		musicmanrichrmt
    Send Email Send Email
     
    To all people who have ever heard of THN...The Harmony Network.
     
    This email comes to you as a member of the close harmony world or, perhaps, as a person who has listened to THN...The Harmony Network since our inception on March 12 2004.  Please read this email and respond if you can.  The future of THN...The Harmony Network will depend on your response.
     
    The Harmony Network was organized in 2004 as the first FCC licensed radio network that was willing to turn over it's live broadcasting time to the barbershop and a cappella community. This month, we received the official ruling from the Internal Revenue Service designating THN...The Harmony Network as a registered non profit educational tax exempt organization effective March 12, 2004, thereby making ALL donations tax deductible, including those made from 3/12/04 to 12/8/06.
          
    More than 50 people have given of their time and talent over the last 2 years and 8 months to make the network what it is today. Co-Founder Grady Kerr, a well known barbershopper, created the web pages for THN that are now maintained by Gary Rush.  Mike Keedy from Florida, gave his voice and radio announcer expertise for the "drops and voiceovers" for all of the spot announcements used on the network.  T.J. Barranger, Rich Pearson, David Thompson, Dave Stadtmauer and Marty Israel gave of their talent to host or co-host a show along the way.  Countless individuals, chapters, districts and companies have donated throughout the two year existence of the network.
     
    NOW, we need your help to continue this work.  The monthly expenses for the network to operate the current 4 shows runs $450-$600.00 per month, all paid by listener support.  To bring the network to a 24/7 broadcast schedule allowing for archived shows, remote broadcasts and the equipment to carry a broader local signal will run $1400-1600.00 per month, less than $20,000.00 per year.  Our present landlord, owner of the FCC license and the building, has been very good to us during the first 32 months of operation, but now says he has to receive payment for our operations or he will have to ask us to leave.
     
    This email will reach more than 4500 people who call themselves members of the barbershop or the a cappella community.  We are asking YOU, each one of you, to consider a gift of at least $5.00.  Many of you can afford more and we will appreciate that, but if everyone just sent $5.00, we would not be is a severe cash situation.  And our belief is that the value of having live radio that features the music you love might be worth a donation of at least $5.00.  And, if you are the president or officer of a company that could benefit from advertising to the community of acappella and barbershop singers, please email us and we can give you advertising rates for your company.  We guarantee that the rates will be attractive.
     
    PLEASE consider this appeal....your gifts can be made either by mail to : THN...The Harmony Network, 41 Watchung Plaza, #222, Montclair, NJ 07042, or you can go to Paypal at www.paypal.com and send your donation to the2004thn@... .  Please send your gifts today.  We need to know you support our efforts, and we need to know now that we should continue this effort..
     
    On behalf of the staff and show hosts of THN...The Harmony Network, I remain,
     
    In Harmony,
     
    Rich Taylor, President
     
    FYI
    Since the inception of the network in 2004, the following shows have been produced and broadcast:
                        
        Monday Night With Joaner - Originally the Joaner & Bea show, Jeanne Garrett
            has done the show since it's beginning. Jeanne has guest co-hosts and live
            performers in the studio and brings a wealth of experience as a member of
            of the Ramapo Valley Spotlight Championship chorus.  Her female insight
            into the world of a cappella music is refreshing each Monday night from 7 -11PM.
     
        The Best Of Both Worlds - Ari Brafman is a "collector's collector. Ari has been
            collecting lots of "things" during his adult life.  His interest in music has
            been reflected in his collection of DVDs and CD's numbering in the 1,000's.
            His show plays the original artist performing a tune, then Ari has located an
            a cappella or barbershop group that has "covered the same tune.  He often
            has his nephew as a co-host and enjoys bringing these performances to
            his audience. TBOBW airs on Tuesday nights from 7-11PM Eastern time.
     
        The "APPLAUSE" Show -  Now in it's 10th year, the APPLAUSE Show has been
            bringing it's audiences the best of the barbershop and a cappella worlds, and
            is now one of the longest airing radio shows ever to feature "all vocal harmony,
            all the time".  The APPLAUSE Show has had more than 30 live barbershop
            groups in the studio, 5 youth quartets as part of our YMIH commitment, and
            3 high school acappella groups as part of our community outreach.  11
            professional a cappella groups from the Persuasions to Blue Jupiter have graced
            the THN microphones.  The show airs 7-11PM on Thursday nights.  
        
        The Sunday Night Showcase - Broadcast on Sunday evenings from 7-11PM, Vinnie
            Haynes, a barbershopper from the Big Apple Chorus, brings not only great
            music from the THN Library, but also brings Vinnie's Private Stock of music to
            his listeners.  Vinnie has been providing the Network with archived historic
            recordings as part of his commitment to his listeners.  Vinnie announces his
            shows in advance on the Harmonet and other discussion groups.
     
        The East Coast Acappela Review - Broadcast from April of 2004 through November
            of 2006, Garry and Linda Cascio brought to the airwaves 25 years of experience
            in the DooWop and Street Harmony genres.  Their show gained in popularity and
            the Network is looking to launch a new show featuring DooWop music.
     
        The Tuesday Night Swipes - Well known arranger and Music Judge Marty Israel hosted
            a weekly show featuring all genres of acappella music.  His "Mystery Tune" and his
            "Feature Cut" were highlights of his weekly show that aired for just over 2 years.

    Happy New Year, NY a cappella community -

I've been a fairly active member of the greater a cappella world for many years
now, from
reviewing for the Recorded A Cappella Review Board to producing for the
International
Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCAs) to singing in my own NYC group
(The Sirens).
I have also been arranging for the last 15 years and recently started NYC A
Cappella, an
arranging service for all a cappella groups.

Just wanted to announce that I'm available to create a custom arrangement for
your group(s),
and my already existing arrangements start as low as $30.  I arrange everything
digitally, so
you walk away with a print-out, mp3s of each part to listen to, and music that
is tailored for
your group's vocal strengths.  Please take a moment to check out my site at
www.nycacappella.com , and thanks so much!

-Randi

    Hi gang,
     
    We had a great night last night featuring a lot of NEW music that has been sent to THN...The Harmony Network since December 1, 2006.  The Holiday shows prevented us from bringing these new CD's to you, so last night we caught up.  We want to thank the following artists for sending their CD's:

    Hello NY singers!

This is Angie Doctor from the San Francisco/Bay Area group Clockwork.
We were the 2004 and 2006 Bay Area Regional Harmony Sweeps champs and
have met some of you at the Nationals.

We're coming to NYC next week from Tue, Jan 9 to Tue, Jan 16 and are
wondering if you all can let us know what's up in the city while we're
there.  We are attending the IAJE conference and networking, etc, and
would love to hear some groups, find out if there are any open mics
going on, opportunities to sit in and sing a tune or two, great stuff
happening, etc.

If you have any ideas for us, I'd love to hear from you!

Thank you!

Angie Doctor

    Pink Sabbath, NYC's newest contemporary gay male a cappella group is
currently holding auditions for Tenor 1 and Bass. We are looking for
singers with solo ability, stage presence and a pop/rock/R&B
sensibility (age range: 20's - 30's). Vocal percussion skills and a
strong falsetto voice are a plus, but not required. Previous a
cappella experience is not necessary, but the ability to hold your own
and blend with the group is essential. We rehearse one night a week,
with one additional rehearsal every other week. This is a semi-pro
group and not a full-time commitment so no need to quit your day job.
To inquire about auditions, please send an email to
pinksabbathnyc@... noting your voice part and any applicable
musical experience. To learn more about the group, visit our web page at:
