Regular Local Singings in or near Michigan
|
The Mid-Michigan Shapenote singing group was formed in 2005 by Bart Casad, Anne Missavage, and Bob Borcherding, initially meeting at Grace Lutheran Church, where Candy and Larry Farmer were members. We were supported and joined in our singings by singers from Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo. Unfortunately, Bart Casad moved away soon after we started singing.
Tom Malone came to East Lansing in the summer of 2005 and helped propel the group forward. In 2006 we started meeting in our homes, closer to East Lansing. In 2008 we moved to the basement of the Green River Cafe, which closed not too long afterward, then we started meeting at David Stowe's church, Edgewood United Church in East Lansing, where we have been meeting since 2009, at which time Tom Malone completed his doctorate and moved away. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at 7 pm, though occasionally we have a backyard barbeque when it coincides with Labor Day, etc.
We continue to sing and travel to others' singings, giving workshops, etc., as we may. Please visit us!
