MAYWORKS is the largest and oldest festival honouring workers and the arts and it is happening THIS week in Toronto.
Choosing to connect with the more radicalized May Day labour celebrations around the world, the festival brings together visual, theatre, music, and film artists who lift the challenges facing working people through their particular medium.
From the website: "There has never been a movement for social change without the arts being central to its impact. It is through art that one can build upon the power of creation and expression to encourage new ways of thinking - sparking commitment, promoting ideals, and eliciting action. "
See what you might have time to catch: MAYWORKS. It's worth supporting!

Susan Boyle is forty-seven years of age and has a dream. A Scottish gal from a small village, she has never been married, nor been kissed. But, says she - "that's not an advert." She's so REAL!
See her on Britain's Got Talent as she sings "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables. It will knock your socks off - you'll stand up at your computer and cheer!!!

Here's a tiny collection of music which I've posted elsewhere: Ten! New Songs for a New World. Download it here as a 732 kb pdf document. If you're interested in reading more about the thinking behind these pieces, check out this post at nouspique.com. They are intended for progressive worship and include a piece already familiar to West Hilligers (is that what we are?) called Quiet Descending. Listen to Linda Meyer sing it after some introductory remarks by Gretta.
If you're curious to know what the other ones sound like, you can listen to mp3's of me plunking on a piano if you go to the "music/liturgy" tag on nouspique and then work your way backwards through the posts. The recordings ain't great, but if you use your imagination and pretend that there's a room full of people singing somewhere off in the distance, you might get an idea of what they sound like.
