an Ethel!! reunion?

[thoreau]

eons ago - back in Seattle - I helped start a comedy group called "ETHEL!!"

Originally inspired by myself, 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.....

The Original ETHEL!!:
E: Tony pandabuff,
T: Muffin/Moi,
H: Ken,
E: Roger,
L: Joe,

!: Dan
and Robert/Her

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 Tony pandabuff 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.
