Having a Blog

Rule #1 - If you have a blog, you must update your blog with regularity. It need not be every day. It need not be every week. But it better be more than one time in a year.

Rule #2 - If you have failed at updating your blog with any regularity, refrain from apologizing for your absence. It just draws attention to how lame you are.

Rule #3 - Use said blog to promote the projects for which said blog was created to promote. Do it, goofball.

Hi friends!
Long time, no see.
So sorry for how terribly long it's been since Ye Olde Lily & Thorn blog as been updated. Woe is we. Just a quick update for now, since I'm clearly too busy to offer much more than the most meager update.

The Shapenote Sisters have a couple of shows coming up which I'll tell you all about in future posts (I promise!). For now, mark you calendars and plan to be at:
  • The G-spot on April 23rd for the opening of Same River Twice. The Shapenote Sisters will perform, along with Elizabeth LaPrelle, Anna Roberts-Gevalt, and The Manly Deeds.
  • The Creative Alliance on May 13th for an A Capella Showcase, featuring The Shapenote Sisters, The Starry Mountain Singers, and Orfeia.
And NEXT WEEKEND... don't miss the Potomac River Sacred Harp Singing Convention in Great Falls, Virginia. I am the Chairlady, which means I get to wrangle everyone involved, talk a little bit, and then run to the kitchen and eat all the delicious food while you all sing your faces off all weekend.
