7.30pm start if attending the Zoom meeting
A Happy, Brighter, Calmer and Safer New Year to all our SDFS singers and followers. As 2021 begins with alarming levels of the virus still amongst and between us, but also positive news of vaccines and light ahead at the end of this long tunnel, what better way to comfort our spirits, celebrate our hope and express our New Year resolution to keep the SDFS going than to SING – even if it is just to ourselves at home. Many thanks again to Tina for her generous contribution to keeping our SDFS spirits up and song repertoire aired during the shutdown, and to Keith for his support in maintaining our website and posting the monthly notices which keep us in touch – and now also to Dave W, who has offered to host an interactive Zoom session for this month’s Worthing session.
The song list below is adaptable to a Zoom or a no-Zoom session. So for non-Zoomers it still has no mute facility or pictures, so your sound, chosen setting and attire are unrestricted, subject perhaps to others in your household and your neighbours! Either way, all singers welcome – and Welcome to our new Zoom host Dave!
Henny
And now over to Dave:
Hi all, after speaking to Henny and the rest of the team it seemed that we should consider having a local (Worthing) group Zoom session for the SDFS. It is not designed to take over from Tina’s wonderful sessions, but is there to supplement our sessions which are currently based around singing alone in our own homes (but at the same time). It would be really good if we were to do some interaction with each other which will lead into small local social-distanced groups when the current climate eventually changes, for those who may wish to. Although not musically gifted like a lot of our members, I am content to put my IT skills to the use of the group to get these sessions moving. Therefore I have set up an initial Zoom Session for this Wednesday at 7.30pm. Currently Zoom sessions are free as long as I keep them below 40 minutes in duration; however you can have two sessions back to back. Therefore I would suggest if we are able to get this one running, that we have a 35-minute session, followed by a coffee/beer break of 5 minutes, followed by another half-hour session. All is subject to change. To log into the session use the following detail below.

To get us into the swing of it I would suggest we consider the following songs
for this first meeting. All these can change on the day if considered
unsuitable or difficult to control via a Zoom session. We can discuss how the
songs will be controlled at the first session. So if you have any experience
in the conduct of such sessions then happy to take your advice.
- Pleasant and Delightful
- The Fields Lie Silent Now
- Righteous Joseph
- The Holly and the Ivy
- Wassailing songs: Here We Come a-Wassailing – Sugar Wassail – Apple Tree Wassail
- When Stormy Winds do Blow
- I heard a Bird Sing
- Country Life
Anyone who wishes to sing a song or recite a poem to the group would be very welcome. This also applies if anyone would like to take the lead on any of the songs.
Dave
Finally may I (Keith) say thank you to everybody who has contributed material for this website to keep us all singing our SDFS songs throughout 2020 despite the various restrictions we have had to observe. For any more SDFS singers who would like to contribute, remember an open invitation was posted here about a week ago (here's a direct link if you've missed this).
Here's looking forward to a new year and let us all hope we can safely start to get back together again.
Golier!
