[Elfsea] Music Guild Starting

[Jane Sitton]

Having long been intimidated by my mother, who was an excellent musician,
playing viola, guitar, and piano, and able to write music & transpose music
into any key, and my sister, who finished a course in music theory at the
age of 8, who has perfect pitch, plays oboe, French horn, and piano, and
having been told by both that I can't carry a note to the mailbox in a
bucket, I somehow managed to overcome my inhibitions and sing publicly.  I
finally realized that "make a joyful noise unto the Lord" doesn't say
anything about being in key.  You'll never get better if you don't practice.

Madelina, bard-in-training

I will give the gift of not attending. In my family we are asked not to
sing.
All we do  is a joyful noise.
