Can't play this week

Hi All,

Sorry to report that I can't play the candle lightings this week. I have more dental work tomorrow as well as a meeting and they both coincide with the normal candle lighting times.

If possible, I may try to do an impromptu concert at the ark sometime Saturday afternoon.

Don't forget to check out some of the recordings below. They're fun and they were mostly done in one take. I think I have to redo a few of them :-)

Recordings

Hi Everyone,

Updated March 2009
Fixed broken links to the recordings.

Updated April 2008

I got some new equipment, and now my recordings and performances won't sound like their coming from inside a tin can. The first song I've re-recorded is Or Zarua below. I think you'll hear the difference between that and the other songs :)

Previously I wrote:

I've finally recorded some of the Shabbat songs I've been doing at the Shabbat Around the World candle lightings. I've also recorded some of the songs I'd like to do but can't, since they involve more than one voice. Ah, the miracles of multi-tracking.

These are not professional recordings, just some stuff I played into the computer (Macbook Pro running GarageBand, built in mike). So, not the highest fidelity, but it's the same way I play music into Second Life. Hope you enjoy it.

I'll be playing the 7am and 10am Shabbat Around the World candle lightings in Second Life tomorrow. See you there.

Apologies!

I'm so sorry I had to cancel at the last minute today. My tooth started hurting late last night, and well, you know. I didn't want to spend a miserable weekend suffering, though that may happen anyway, according to the dentist. She told me it would be sore for a few days. If I can speak properly and I'm not in pain, I'll sing at the 3pm lighting today.

Hope I see you all then. Still VERY numb as I type this, 11:30am SL time.

Still working out schedule for this week

Hi Folks,

I'm still working out my schedule for Friday and I don't know yet which Shabbat around the World candle lightings I can play at... probably the 3pm one is a definite, and I'll post again when I know if there are others.

Getting ready to move in RL - so that takes up a bit of time that I might otherwise spend playing.

See you online!

This weeks Shabbat Candle Lightings

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow, May 11, I'll be able to perform live at the 7am and 10am SL Synagogue candle lightings. Hope to see you there!

Off to a good start

During CC's first Candle Lighting, on April 13, 2007, group member Glenn Davids posted the following while CC was still playing:

Hey Gang! We're doing our candle lightings as usual but this time with a
twist. Cantcomp Lane is performing live Shabbat music for us. It's the
3pm lighting but there's still time to make it. We'll be lighting at
about 25 after.

Grab yourself and your speakers and come on down. You won't regret it.

The week of April 20, 2007, Beth Odets posted the following in a Shabbat Notice for the Second Life Synagogue group:

It is a joy and honor to let you all know that Cantcomp Lane (CC)
and her guitar will be joining us again this week for some of the
Shabbat Around the World Candle lightings!!!

Last week she filled our SL experience with live music that was AMAZING.
She really brings it all to life!!!
