about

Welcome back to another edition of Tune-Up Thursdays!!!

For you folks this week, I bring another song in the Sarabande playlist.

This song is awesome in a few ways. It's one of the toughest songs we had when we first learnt it. It took us a while to perfect it, but when it *was* perfected, oh, did it sound phenomenal.

For me though, this song is awesome for one main reason: The way that our conductor, Paula Kremer, explains the song. She gets this almost giddy feeling about this song and about explaining the song.

The song is about a guy who fancies this young lady. And in a week he sees her do many things with her linen; washing on Monday, hanging on Tuesday, starching on Wednesday, ironing on Thursday, folding on Friday, airing on Saturday, and finally wearing it on Sunday. Paula's vim and vigour and excitement in talking about this is truly a sight to see.

Also, it was a song we decided to sing at Jenn & Neil's engagement party at Van Dusen Gardens back in Christmas of 2014. So it's a special song all around.

So for Week 3, I present to you, "Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron", arranged by John Rutter.

And as always, if you like what you hear, please share with your friends and family.

Side note: I love to collaborate!!! If you'd like to record a Tune-Up Thursdays track with me, just drop me a line at Aerhyn.Lau@gmail.com and we'll work on something together to record! Or if you have an acapella arrangement of a song you've been working on, please share it with me and I'll do a recording of it! Or, if you have a song request, message me and I'll try my best to make it happen!

OH OH OH!!! And Christmas is rapidly approaching! Which means #Season2 of #AerhynsAcapellaAdvent is already in pre-production!!! If you have any Christmas tunes that you'd like to hear in this year's musical advent offering, email them to: AerhynsAcapellaAdvent@gmail.com

See you next week!!!
