Solar Wind Orchestra

I have mentioned some of us in our choir (Student Choir Aurora) get together now and then to do instrumental stuff +/- singing. Last spring we recorded some of our songs, and one of the guys has put the results for two of them onto his web page.

The first is the song Ridom, which long time readers might recall from my series of "learn Swedish one song at a time" posts. Since it was one of the first Swedish songs I learned, I posted verse 1 separately from verse 2 and verse 3.

The second song is Nu grönskar det, which I also (much more recently) featured on my "learn Swedish one song at a time" series here.

I know my mother will be amused to listen to these, and there is a chance that one or more of the rest of you will be looking for something amusing to while away a bit of time and thus might click the links as well, so I decided to share here. If we make any recordings this semester I will let you know, so you can see how(if) we have improved over time.

because I may know some weavers that Karin doesn't

One of my friends, who runs the European Textile forum at which I had so much fun in 2009 and 2010, is currently looking for weavers to help her get information about how/what types of yarn they are using you can access the survey here. If you weave, or know someone who does, please go fill it out (or send them). It is all in the name of science...
