Dear Musicians community, This list has been going since 2004! It’s hard to believe. Chris and I are grateful to everyone here in our community who has worked hard to make this a welcoming, supportive place. Chris and I are excited to be working with CDSS, and with the four new lists joining the Shared Weight community. Check out this article in the CDSS News to learn about the Shared Weight renewal. https://www.cdss.org/images/newsletter_archives/articles/CDSS_News_Winter_2… Also - check out the brand new Shared Weight website: https://www.sharedweight.net What does the renewal mean for the Musicians list? * Our list has a renewed vision. Check it out here: https://www.sharedweight.net/lists/dance-musicians/ * The partnership among the various list founders and CDSS has created a stronger team to support this list into the future. Other than that, our list remains the same supportive community that it’s always been. We encourage you to spread the news and invite others to join the list! Additional notes: * IMPORTANT: When you respond to a post on the list, please remember to trim off old replies. It will make it much easier for others to use our list, especially those that receive the digest version. * You can access the full list archives at: https://lists.sharedweight.net/hyperkitty/list/musicians@lists.sharedweight… * The Shared Weight team is excited to announce the official renewal launch of our mailing list servers for traditional dance, music, and song -- including this list! * Instructions on this page to set up an account: https://www.sharedweight.net/about/technical-faqs/ * You should set up an account to manage your settings (e.g., change between receiving each emails or receiving the digest version of the list).
