Friday Special Blend
Friday May 15th, 2026 with Susan Johnston
Kicking off the long weeeekend

In hour one, Marko Curuvija joins Susan to talk about an Ancestry Open Mic & Song Circle, taking place May 17 3pm - 5pm, All Saints Church, 330 Laurier Ave. East, Upstairs - Church Door Entrance. Info: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ancestry-open-mic-song-circle-tickets-1988128743591?msockid=387682faff77602621fe94d3fea661ff Come celebrate diverse voices, with offerings of songs from your unique lineages. Sing alone, with a friend, or teach the group a song so they might join you. Come prepared with a song or two from your lineage to share and perform in a song circle or loose open mic setting. Acoustic instruments and all voices (trained and untrained) are welcome. An amp and mic will also be available to you should you desire. Note that respect for all lineages is a tenet of our time together. Note also that the building in which we will meet is a church space, which is no longer owned by any religious institution, and which no longer hosts religious activities. We hope to inhabit the space with ease, kindness and a diversity of relationships to spirituality and religion. This is a By Donation/Sliding Scale event, Suggested 5-10$ with no one turned away for lack of funds.
