Hi. This is Wendy, the ghost of Gorge Community Music past. I signed off "forever" because Meta informed me they were deleting me, and I wanted to at least say a fond farewell. Now I see, it is still up, so I'm sharing again. I loved putting music related stories of inspiration here. I love seeing all that music has been able to bring to these young musicians! Keep music alive!

Hello, friends and followers of Gorge Community Music page on Facebook:

This is a farewell post! Seems appropriate as we opened our store on Feb 15, back in 2016. Gorge Community Music was our "Valentine" to our community.
The business grew and grew until the Covid year, but then cascading factors resulted in our closure in January of 2022. I am taking this opportunity to say thank you to all who have participated in this page, and who came to the Saturday classes at Gorge Community Music. We had a great time. Occasionally I have continued to share musical posts I find of interest, but Facebook has told me that they are going to delete the page--in fact I thought they had already done so--because the page is fraudulent. It is time to shut down the page: Just please don't let the music die!

A trove of early Joan Baez, shared by her!

Looking back on years performing at the Newport Folk Festival, we are reminded of the joy and power music can bring to a moment. This playlist gathers performances and studio recordings from that time—songs of love, resilience, and change. We hope you’ll take a listen and find something that speaks to you.

This is good! I wish I had it on paper! Do you use any of these practicing techniques?

Mental practice means using your head and concentrating on the parts you play on your instrument, but without actually using your instrument.

Did you know the Bee Gees are three brothers; two are twins, hailing from Australia, and getting an early start on their musical career
