vocalpie, an intimate a cappella ensemble is seeking male voices (tenor, baritone, bass) with performance experience. Our repertoire is an eclectic and challenging mix of world music styles including songs from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia, as well as Early American gospels and spirituals and works by contemporary composers. Our group is energetic, collaborative, fun, focused and committed to intonation and tight blend. Singer must be willing and able to rehearse weekly in the general Cambridge/Arlington area, learn existing repertoire quickly and have the comfort and confidence to

The old piano is a 1978 48-inch upright Steinway with pin-block issues (it doesn't hold a tune well). Anyone who is interested in it should contact Judy Erickson at Ericks511 at aol dot com.

Piano for Sale
Vose full size upright piano. We found this piano, painted black and non-functional in a barn about 20 years ago and immediately recognized its name and beautiful carved decoration. We had it completely restored, so that it was both a handsome piece of furniture and a lovely working piano. It has not been tuned or played regularly since then, but has remarkedly held its tuning despite following us through two moves. It is in good condition and has a full and bright sound. $2,000. Please contact Carole or David Presberg at shepdog at gis dot net or phone 978-649-4348. More photos at www.gis dot net/~shepdog/Woolgather_Farm/Piano.html.
