<p>Jeffk: </p> <hr /> <div>== Who are we? ==<br /> <br /> We call ourselves the ''Dewey Square Ad Hoc Chorus'', but we're really just a bunch of folks out to share songs in support of Occupy Boston, and we'd love to have you join us! We've got a lot of fun songs, including classic and new protest songs, union songs, and general rousing chorus songs, and we're on the lookout for more.<br /> <br /> == Upcoming Sings ==<br /> <br /> Unless otherwise specified, we gather ~11:45am on the Dewey Square Plaza (at the North corner of Summer St. and Atlantic Ave in Boston), kitty-corner from South Station, next to the glass&amp;metal pyramid MBTA entrance, and sing from noon to 1:00pm.<br /> <br /> Anabel Graetz often leads informal warm-ups between 11:50 and noon. These are strictly optional, but do take a look at '''[[WarmupTips|Anabel's Tips for Singing Outdoors]]'''!<br /> <br /> This Friday (12/16), in lieu of our usual material, we will have '''caroling led by Anabel Graetz!''' She'll have a neat mix of songs, including some good Occupy material. We'll sing in Dewey Square Plaza and/or South Station, meeting at 11:45am as usual. See below for details of songs.<br /> <br /> '''Weather cancellations:''' If the weather looks bad, I'll cancel the sing, posting to the mailing list and here on the wiki. I'll try to make the call by midnight the night before.<br /> <br /> == Caroling ==<br /> <br /> You can print yourself a copy of the [[Media:OccupyBostonCarolingLyrics.pdf|Unofficial Occupy Boston Carol Book]].<br /> <br /> Occupy New Hampshire has reworked some popular Christmas tunes with occupation-themed lyrics. They have a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLJaZQ6QYTg YouTube video], and you can download their songbook [http://beverlywoods.net/NH-OccupyCarols.pdf here].<br /> <br /> '''Caroling update:'''<br /> <br /> The &quot;official&quot; caroling book will posted soon; hopefully by Wednesday. Before I finish it, I want to get an idea of who knows what songs; I'm planning on including some lesser known, but truly wonderful, carols, including<br /> <br /> * Gloucesteshire Wassail (Wassail, Wassail all over the town...)<br /> * Pleased to See the King (Joy, Health, Love and Peace)<br /> * Apple Tree Wassail<br /> * The Holly Bears a Berry<br /> * Star in the East<br /> <br /> I can't include them all, so I need some feedback. Let me know which ones you know, can sing and really love. Also, send suggestions of carols not on the list. Yes, i have about 18 in the book so far, but I'd like to know four or five that you feel are essential, (Love &quot;Joy to the World&quot; but hate &quot;Silent Night&quot;?)

<p>Jeffk: Created page with &quot; &lt;nowiki&gt;THEY'RE TAKING IT AWAY by Ian Robb Chorus: Oh, they're taking it away, yes they're taking it away They are taking all the good things you can hear the people say ...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div> &lt;nowiki&gt;THEY'RE TAKING IT AWAY<br /> by Ian Robb<br /> <br /> Chorus:<br /> Oh, they're taking it away, yes they're taking it away<br /> They are taking all the good things you can hear the people say<br /> And they'll take it all tomorrow if they don't take it today<br /> From the poor and sick and helpless, they are taking it away.<br /> <br /> Oh our government's elected in the democratic way<br /> A-whining at the cost of all the things they have to pay<br /> And the bully-boys on Bay Street, you can hear the bastards say,<br /> &quot;To hell with paying taxes, pull the safety-net away!&quot;<br /> <br /> If you're down upon your luck and need to keep the wolf at bay<br /> Just don't rely on welfare or the dole to pay your way<br /> For the rich, they have decided not another cent to pay<br /> You can whistle for your supper for they've taken it away<br /> <br /> If you're native, black, or Asian, if you're feminist or gay<br /> If you're just a little different from the most of us today<br /> If you want to make your point or if you want to have your way<br /> You can spit into the wind for they have taken it away<br /> <br /> If you're battered by your husband and you need a place to stay<br /> You'd best get down upon your knees and quickly learn to pray<br /> For the women's centre's phone was disconnected yesterday<br /> And there's no-one left to talk to, now they've taken it away<br /> <br /> If it's ever your misfortune in a hospital to stay<br /> You'd best not be impatient for a bed on which to lay<br /> For your health ain't worth the taxes that the healthy have to pay<br /> And the beds were too expensive, so they've taken them away<br /> <br /> Oh there's those that have and those that don't and those that are okay<br /> And there's those who understand that fairness is the only way<br /> But there's those that are so comfortable they look the other way<br /> And they vote for all the villains who would take it all away<br /> <br /> So if you've health and wealth and wisdom stop and spare a thought today<br /> For those who don't and those who can't, there is no other way<br /> Or we might as well give up the ghost and join the USA<br /> For there won't be any difference when they take it all away<br /> &lt;/nowiki&gt;</div>

<p>Jeffk: </p> <hr /> <div>== Who are we? ==<br /> <br /> We call ourselves the ''Dewey Square Ad Hoc Chorus'', but we're really just a bunch of folks out to share songs in support of Occupy Boston, and we'd love to have you join us! We've got a lot of fun songs, including classic and new protest songs, union songs, and general rousing chorus songs, and we're on the lookout for more.<br /> <br /> == Upcoming Sings ==<br /> <br /> Unless otherwise specified, all of these are noon-1pm on the Dewey Square Plaza, kitty-corner from South Station:<br /> <br /> *Friday, November 11, 2011<br /> *Friday, November 18, 2011<br /> *Sunday, November 27, 2011<br /> <br /> ...but the OccupyBoston calendar has the definitive schedule.<br /> <br /> We gather ~11:45am at the North corner of Summer St. and Atlantic Ave in Boston, kitty-corner from South Station, next to the glass&amp;metal pyramid MBTA entrance; you can't miss us.<br /> <br /> Anabel Graetz may lead some informal warm-ups between 11:50 and noon, but those are strictly optional.<br /> <br /> But do take a look at '''[[WarmupTips|Anabel's Tips for Singing Outdoors]]'''!<br /> <br /> == Songs ==<br /> <br /> [[SongList|Song List]]<br /> <br /> We'll have copies of our evolving lyrics booklet, [[media:CheerfulOccupation.pdf|Songs for a Cheerful Occupation]], and the Occupy Boston library has about some copies of the previous version -- go help yourself! We'll upload the contents in editable form when we have time.<br /> <br /> == Mailing List ==<br /> <br /> We have a mailing list for planning and announcement of sings:<br /> <br /> [http://groups.google.com/group/adhocchorus http://groups.google.com/group/adhocchorus]<br /> <br /> <br /> If you want to join it and that didn't work, try this instead:<br /> <br /> [http://groups.google.com/group/adhocchorus/boxsubscribe http://groups.google.com/group/adhocchorus/boxsubscribe]<br /> <br /> <br /> It should give you an error message along with a usable subscription form. (Yes, that's ugly, but we're working on it.)</div>
