thoreaueons ago - back in Seattle - I helped start a comedy group called "ETHEL!!"
Originally inspired by myself,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pandabuff and others as a brutal scathingly mean slam on the men's chorus subgroup "Zipper!" - - it morphed into much, much more. We sang everything from backstreet boys to other artists - in full on ETHEL MERMAN VOICE - all 7 of us. Made for the most scary vibrato weapon ever conceived.....
So - scary enough - this spring is the 10th Anniversary of Ethel!! The group has changed out members over the years so that now - the original gorgeous line-up you see above have all moved onto other luminous musical adventures - and Tonypandabuff has suggested that the original ETHELL!!s return from the corners of the earth and reunite at the Seattle Mens Chorus live auction on April 18th. So, Seattlites - it appears that Hurricane Muffin will be descending on your fair city come mid-April.
Having just joined the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus - and then having contact from Tony about ETHEL!! - it's lovely stew of memories of the past and wonderings about what frightening adventures I'll find with my new chorus family here in San Francisco.
