Because it has so many embedded videos, the page takes a while to load (at least with my slow connection), so I've moved it from being the first page you see. So I've moved it to earlier in the year.

I sang:

Highlights: The people beside me harmonizing along with Don't Be Afraid, even though it was new to them.

Other instrumentalists, esp. Frank's harmonica and Barb's flute.
