Hi Ridge, nice to meet you. I flubbed the signup process because I didn't
read the instructions. Why? In the last two months I have had shoulder
surgery and the flu and both my parents passed away. In the greater scheme
of things, I am in fact feeling a bit "Nonesuch" these days, and grateful
to Amanda for knowing what the problem is.
To differentiate myself from Lynn Feingold (and vice versa), I go by LynN
(pronounced Linen) while she goes by Flynn. I'll make sure to sign this
list with my full name for clarity.

Ridge, not a foolish question, and I have an answer:
The previous message came from Lynn Noel.
If a list member does not include their first and last name when they
subscribe to this list, the system enters their name as "None." As far as I
know there is no workaround for this, nor is there a way to add a name
later, so it's very important that we all sign our emails with our names
(and locations) so that we can identify the sender.
We make the most of what we have. I've already communicated a wish that
this might be editable, at least on the back end, in the future.

Hi folks,
Although there are still only 6 of us on this list, I wanted to give you a heads up that I'm ready to see what we can do to beef up the Song listings in the CDSS Events Calendar and Map. Emily, I know you've counter-posted a recommendation to hold off as CDSS is looking into upgrade options for the backend of the calendar and map to improve data entry and search. Heard and understood, so I'll back off of Facebook and look to get better aligned with this group and with the CDSS team that's looking into the platform upgrade.
A national song events registry is The One Big Thing I care most about as a song session organizer, and I'm ready and able to volunteer substantive time in the next few months as I am between jobs and awaiting knee replacement in June. Since I've been under the weather the last few months with shoulder surgery and the loss of both parents, I'm re-engaging and realizing that I still owe you a bio that will give you some background for my interest in this project. I'll post that as a separate thread.
Emily, can you advise us on two points? Thanks.
1) Who is the committee looking into the platform upgrade for the events calendar/map, and how can we engage with them as community champions?
2) What can we do NOW, to capture interest and engage our fellow organizers, while aligning with the long-term goals of improving data entry and search on the events platform?
Foolish question, but . . . is the "None" in your e-mail address a first
name or last name or other . . . ? Just curious. Thanks. Ridge
(abbreviated middle name/nickname)

When you stumble, make it part of the dance. - Anonymous
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least
once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at
least one laugh. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Hi folks, I'm late to the party with my List Champion bio, but hope you may find this useful in matching me up with volunteer opportunities and like-minded peers under the CDSS umbrella.
Musically, I am a session organizer, performer, and touring artist both solo as Crosscurrents Music and with The Old Howard Troupe and the Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society, formerly with the Lingua Franca multilingual a cappella quartet. I'm a founder of Greater Boston Traditional Song organizers' group, the Boston Area Chantey and Maritime Sing (BACAMS), the Somerville (was Skellig) Pub Sings, the Northeast Chanteysings regional calendar and events map, the AFTer Hours Adult Folktale Telling series, and a member of the Folksong Society of Greater Boston. CDSS was kind enough to designate me a Local Hero for your centennial, which was a great honor.
I'm best known as a chantey singer from Mystic Sea Music Festival, Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival, Old Songs Festival, Vermont and New Hampshire Humanities Council touring artist, and international festivals in the UK and the Netherlands. The larger a cappella community might not know that I also play treble and bass mountain dulcimer, guitar, percussion, and string bass, and am working on the concertina. I’m one of those thousand-song repertoire singers (yes, I counted) with ballads, pub songs, music hall, sacred harp, Celtic, colonial and early music, multilingual folksong, and genuinely obscure stuff. I have scholarly interests in folksong of Atlantic and French Canada, music of the Viking Age, and the work of women folksong collectors. As a living history professional, I offer a musical history series, A Woman's Way, of Voyageurs, Vikings, Pirates, and other traditional women's roles.
On the dance side, I'm a retired morris dancer and a lifelong contra, English Country, international, and Scottish dancer. I've been a member of CDSS and NEFFA since high school, when I helped found the Newton North High School Folk Dance Club. danced with the MIT and served as a Youth Volunteer at NEFFA in the 1970s. I'm an alumna of Ha'Penny and Muddy River Morris, Red Herring Morris, Oak Apple Morris, Bells of the North, and That Long Tall Sword, and the founder/Squire of the Paper Bag Mummers. We all hope my third joint replacement in ten years will get me back on the dance floor this fall, but in the meantime, song and music are a big part of my life.
Professionally, I am a certified digital business strategist and career IT professional as an enterprise architect, certified user experience designer, data management consultant, director of collaboration and content management, and visual information designer. I have hands-on enterprise design and admin experience with SalesForce, Microsoft, Google, and most major digital platforms, particularly with CRM portals like the new CDSS platform. My Master of Science is in human-environment geography and I have worked professionally as a cartographer and infographic designer, hence my interest in the events calendar and map. I’m giving conference presentations this month on Aligning Digital Strategy with Data Management and Design Thinking for Data Management, both of which I think might be germane to the CDSS platform team. I am an independent consultant and small business owner of Digital Heritage Consulting, LLC, which is an umbrella over my heritage arts, traditional music, visual design, and digital data management consulting work.
My passions as a volunteer are for mentoring young women/female-identified song leaders and for building a rich national registry and map of traditional song events. I offer a womens’ workshop with Cate Clifford on #TheFutureOfFolk, which I’d love to expand under CDSS. I hope to take a more active role as a curator and platform consultant for the events calendar and map, as well as championing Shared Weight for Song Organizers on this list and on social media. Thanks for this community leadership opportunity with CDSS.
What type of session(s) or event(s) do you organize?
Where do you gather and when?
What sorts of people does your group attract?
How did your sing get started?
How long have you been singing together?
What are your group's norms - do you sing from books, or by memory, or
anything goes?
Do you have any particular customs, rules, or traditions that shape the
personality and experience of your sing(s)?
Is there anything that you think makes your sing unique?
Tell us anything and everything!
Ridge, this is certainly a welcome topic for discussion. Anything at all
relating to song sessions from the perspective of an organizer is welcome
here.
Can you be more specific about what types of songs you're looking for? Our
sing runs entirely on chorus songs by memory only, so I know quite a few,
but I wonder if you have something specific in mind. I'd also love to hear
what you've got to suggest.
And welcome, Jeremy!
