THE SONG SWAP IS BEING MOVED TO WEDNESDAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE 2ND SEDER ON TUESDAY
The Song Swap is a place for folks to come together and share songs, community, and keep the live singing tradition thriving. While we have been getting together on zoom, the 4th Tuesday BFMS songswap has become transcontinental and international with participants from west, farther west, and north and northwest across the border. You can drop in on the zoom and meet (and hear / sing with) some nice folks we 're not likely to meet in person!
Lots of seasonal songs......
