Glad to say I'm going to be singing with the St. Paul's Episcopal Church choir in Burlingame this autumn (and potentially as countertenor with time:).

Good music, good singers, too, and we'll be singing the JS Bach Christmas Oratorio and the Mozart Requiem, along with an anthem every week, as well as Episcopal hymns ... it's actually pretty great music too ... may explore descant lines if I begin to sing countertenor (Singing Descant: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Singing_Descant), although this morning I sang bass ... (for further bliss neurophysiology elicitation focus here re neural cascades of pleasure and music-making ...)

Heard them sing in Stanford Memorial Church - https://events.stanford.edu/events/696/69687/ - not long ago.

Perhaps we can explore collaboration with time about a virtual choir - Virtual Choir: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Choir - (in the World University Music School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School ).

A Tongan choir sang this morning in addition to the Chancel Choir ... and this Tongan choir could emerge online as well - in Tongan - https://to.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lea_faka-Tonga - ! Since Wikipedia is in Tongan, this NEW wiki World University and School !! - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University - will soon be in Tongan too :) Please feel free to wiki-edit / teach to wiki World University and School.

Online virtual choir wiki subject page at World University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Choir - in English (accessible from the Music School here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School)...
Bruce, Robert, Jack and UUCPA (and greetings, Tim!)

This sheet music and these SATB recorded parts are great for learning to sing UU choir music from home, for one! Thank you. I'm curious now - in a building kind of way - whether it might be additionally possible to sing this, for example, FROM home WITH the UUCPA choir in Thursday rehearsals and on occasional Sunday mornings via a 10-person Google group video Hangout, - now silently, but also after Hangouts get up to speed with real real time music-making.

And could this be a start-simple-and-build-it model for virtual UU choirs, for UU choirs and singers everywhere, and perhaps also the beginnings of an online UU choir school for UUs and Us and also other church choirs, around the world even (in many languages), - since the Google group video Hangouts could be saved to Youtube, and be used for practicing with by anyone with broadband at anytime?

"Bruce Olstad, musical director of the online UU choir school, for a) music directors and b) choir singers"

For further virtual choir idea-sharing, I'm including Tim House in this email, a friend from Massachusetts, who is also UU minister at First UU Church of Boston - http://www.firstchurchboston.org/people/269.

Here's the virtual choir wiki subject page at World University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Choir - in English (accessible from the Music School here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School).

I'm glad to say that the NEW (long, long awaited WUaS wiki) should be accessible here tomorrow - wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org - and from here too - worlduniversityandschool.org - (with worlduniversity.wikia.com soon to become obsolete).

Thank you for these great learning tools!

Friendly, musical regards, Scott

Interesting narrative ... to Scotland World University and School ... at wiki WUAS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Scotland ... in the new wiki WUAS ... wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org ...
Forward units of Corbyn’s British Labourite Red Army – Momentum – have fired the opening shots in Labour’s anti-SNP offensive. Of course, idiots that they are, they have targeted the railways. Not the wisest of opening moves.

Comrade Corbyn is marching north to Scotland with his wee pokey army to “win back” seats from the SNP because he wants to be Prime Minister of a united Britain. He appears to have gotten it into his head, no doubt emboldened by Cat Boyd and her like, that Scotland is right on the verge of turning back to Labour and embracing Corbynism; this wonderful new brand of socialism. He, travelling in the footsteps of many an English nationalist politician, is incapable of understanding how strongly we feel about our decision to remain in Europe and how much we loath being Westminster’s nuclear weapons dump. He’s coming anyway.

As is the fashion in every half decent invasion plan, his vanguard Momentum has started bombing the railways in an effort to soften us up, but it has done nothing but make a pig’s breakfast of this. Momentum, being an entirely English outfit under the effective command of Owen Jones, has never encountered a well-run rail service. So coming after ScotRail, which consistently outperforms what passes for a train service south of the border, is an odd move to say the least.

They couldn’t come after its performance record because that would be just too hilarious. What they decided to do instead – as British Labour always does – is go after them foreigners; the ones who are coming here and operating our trains. Momentum, in a short anti-SNP and overtly xenophobic video, has taken issue with the fact that our rail network has been privatised and is currently under the control of Abellio – a Dutch company. Oh those pesky foreigners.....see video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvSvymj6AE

It doesn’t help Labour’s cause, considering Scotland is very much on the EU side of the Brexit debate, that this video mocks the Netherlands with a series of nasty stereotypes and is voiced-over with an embarrassing faux Dutch accent. We can see it now; lines of Europeans living in Scotland banging on the doors of Scottish Labour begging to be let in. While they should be congratulated for at last learning that that sort of gutter anti-foreigner politics works where they come from, someone really ought to tell them it doesn’t wash up here in Scotland.

What’s more is that, while they have taken the hump with the SNP for letting these wicked Europeans in to profit from Scottish commuters, they appear not to have done their homework. Abellio doesn’t only operate in Scotland. It operates trains in London, Surrey, Greater Anglia, Liverpool, and the West Midlands. Now we can’t really stop them heading to those parts of England with their Britain First placards and Enoch Powell attitudes and harassing the Dutch there, but God only knows how they will manage to blame the SNP for it.

According to this video it is the Scottish government’s fault that ScotRail is run by who they clearly see as unwelcome outlanders. It wasn’t the Scottish government that privatised the rail network. Back in 1994 when that ugly process began there was no Scottish government. Scotland had nothing to do with it. Privatisation was all down to a Tory Westminster government. Labour had a whole decade in government shortly thereafter – between 1997 and 2007 – and it did absolutely nothing about re-nationalising the rails. Now this shower of weekend revolutionaries has the audacity to come to Scotland screaming “SNP bad.”

Scotland has now spoken twice on what it thinks of Labour.

If all this wasn’t enough, there’s more. When the tender was last put out – the time when Abellio secured the contract – the Scottish government was quite actually powerless to put in a public bid. The reason for that was because London hadn’t given us that power, now that the ability has been devolved – no thanks to Scottish Labour of course – there are plans in place by the Scottish government – that’s the SNP government – to make a public bid the next time the contract is up for renewal. So yeah, going for the Dutch and ScotRail was a worse than stupid idea – and this is coming from the masterminds at Momentum; the Corbynistas who hope to win a few more seats in Scotland. Well thanks but no thanks. I would rather pull out my own teeth.

But supposing this gormless clown – the man behind the Jeremy Corbyn Show – manages to get a few folk listening to his fairy tales, what then? No one in Scotland will ever get a chance to vote for him. Neither he nor Corbynite Labourism is on the ballot paper here. What we get instead is Scottish Labour and Kezia – freaking – Dugdale, with all the stink that has been left behind by such unionist worthies as Johann – “we’re not genetically programmed in Scotland to make political decisions” – Lamont and Jim – “fundilymundily” – Murphy. Any vote for Labour in Scotland is a vote for a return to moronic third-rate and bigoted politics. Again, no – bloody – thanks.

To Black Studies at World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Studies - planned in many languages.
Bobby Seale Speaking Across America "From The Sixties To The Future"

Within the last three decades plus, the demise of several sixties left radical icons [including Huey P. Newton's death in August of 1989; Abbie Hoffman 1991; Jerry Reubin 1993 & Eldridge Cleaver & Quame Turea in 1998], Bobby Seale, (the original 1966 Founding Chairman & National Organizer of the Black Panther Party & “The Eighth Defendant: of the Great Chicago ‘7’ Conspiracy Trial.) in effect, has become one of the last surviving architects of the most important social change movements in American and African American history, complete with his historic political court room trials of that era.

Taking to the stage with his lively charismatic and activist eloquence Mr. Seale illuminates the true sixties birth and youthful intelligentsia of the BPP. Unfolding the pragmatic unknown philosophical range of the sixties protest movement, ["…which grew out of student activism, historical class analysis, scientific research, and programmatic grass-roots community organizing. NOT street life hooliganism as COINTELPRO political conservatism continues to distort…"].

Mr. Seale transports the audience back to the turbulence of the late sixties and early seventies. A time when the activism of hundreds of thousands of protesters of many different ethnic groups created coalitions, which included young Black men and women selling hundreds of thousands of "THE BLACK PANTHER" weekly newspaper. Who created numerous community programs and registered thousands to vote, complete with law books in their hands and "legal" guns handy for self defense against racist and fascist police and FBI's planned COINTELPRO vicious overt racist attacks at the time. Today our right to self defense stance is unheard of.

"Today you don't need guns" charges Bobby Seale. "If you want to observe police brutality, use the technology. Network with thousands of cell phone video recorders [from Rodney King to Oscar Grant] and put it all on the internet! Implement real people's economic parity and greater three dimensional direct-democracy complete with real people's community control of police and economics."

"Social change? Organizationally learn to think and act with a "...polylectic nonlinear view. Why? Because today we live in an over developed, fast-pacedglobalizing high-tech computerized scientific social order. Our ideas, beliefs, understanding and realizations must correspond correctly to reality. Teaching our youth the same for all people's earthly human liberation."

Defining himself as "revolutionary humanist" Seale brings the BPP/Sixties protest movement era full circle showing how times have changed. How we must reach for the future: Demonstrate, Protest, organize real peoples' programs and evolve a greater direct [participatory] community control democracy, void of racist, bigoted or chauvinistic practices. Void of all the extremes of global corporate exploitation. Complete with a profound cyber-space cell phone rights, science-based civil-human rights, and all people's ecological rights activism. Understanding how all civil-human rights issues today are interconnected, intertwined, interdependent, and interrelated with ecological environmental problems, new-millennium political issues, and global economics.

If you are interested in having Bobby Seale speak at your university, college, service group, community gathering or event you may be holding send an e-mail request to bobbysealecom@yahoo.com.

Be sure to include all your contact info. Bobby Seale will contact you to go over the speaking event arrangements.

Power To All The People!

1966 Founding Chairman &
National organizer of the Black Panther Party, USA
