PFS Virtual Song Circle No. CCCIII

Every Saturday Night, a group of folks meets on Zoom for the Virtual Song Circle, or VSC. The virtual doors open at 6:00 PM Pacific Time for schmoozing and tuning, and singing starts at 6:30. There's a group of regulars, and frequent newbies drop in, and sometimes people who have dropped out drop back in. It doesn't make any difference: all people, all songs, are welcome. You can stay for five minutes or five hours. Very relaxed.

Some folks don't like to sing on Zoom, and we understand that. If that's you, you MIGHT want to try again. The technology has gotten better, and we've gotten better at moderating the events. Anyway, although we all miss the hugs, handshakes and harmony of in person events, we also appreciate the ease of getting together with people from all over the place. Give a try, or a second try...

BTW - we have a game we play of singing the song from the numbered ballads collected by Francis James Child whose number corresponds to the number of the VSC. This coming week at least a one of us will sing the 303rd called The Holy Nunnery. Partial plot summary: Boy and girl are getting quite close, so Mom sends the girl off to a nunnery, where there are three rules: Don't kiss a boy on the lips, work hard, and don't go to church (not making this up!). It gets weirder when, after five years, the boy dresses up in lipstick and woman's clothing and knocks on the door of the nunnery. Come to the VSC to learn how it turns out!
