I used Advanced Search for old tweets daily so I’m making my posts searchable via Tootfinder. But I guess we're getting search on Mastodon now too, which is nice

Wetland Project bids farewell to listeners on Met Radio in Toronto. If you’d like to keep listening to the sounds of the marsh visit wetlandproject.com/stream.
Welcoming listeners on DIG FM in the Comox Valley to the broadcast. Happy Earth Day!

Looking at “Barbie Girl” (BG hereinafter) as the foreman of our morris side wants to write a new dance and it’ll need a tune… and this would fit on our instruments nicely and get the public’s attention.
By my reckoning BG has four parts. Three of those parts are eight bars each, in line with “standard form”… but the first one is 18 bars (well, 9 bars with different first/second time through endings) and includes the necessary run up for the start of the second part to feel right.
Because the run up to the B music can’t be jemmied into the end of the C or D music, we can’t just use the A music as an intro then loop the other parts (my first thought).
Do any of you internet folkies have any bright ideas to tweak BG so the A music is a multiple of 8 bars (and don’t say play it for 9x8 =72 bars, that’s much to much of it!)?
Sheet music here, (though we’d play it in G) https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sheetjpg/56840.jpg

Alternatively, any suggestions for upbeat, attention grabbing, well know pop similar to BG that fits nicely into an octave and a half, is in 8 or 16 bar chunks, and isn’t beset with accidents or key changes?

You can also listen to the livestream of our #CoopRadio broadcast of the @WetlandProject here

https://coopradio.org/listen-live/

If the #WetlandProject site is down (it’s back) but if you don’t have a local radio station participating, the WP stream will be synced to your local time zone ☀️ 🌖

Which is nifty, and the audio isn’t compressed or interrupted (except by loud ducks, passing airplanes and mysterious night noises)🦆

Woke up to the sound of wind and birdcall 🐦 of the @wetlandproject (which started at 5:30 am but I missed that this year)

I’ll keep it on all day at home or in headphones, looking forward to the return of the Pacific chorus frogs this evening (at maybe 5–6?) 🐸
