Hi folks!
I am posting the proposed song list for the Dec 21st jam on the BUG

Hi everyone.
So, as I tried to announce at last night's wonderful BUG gathering, I'm
part of a L'Arche <
[link]>house and
community here in Ottawa. (L'Arche is at base an agency, but one that
aspires to be a 'community for people with and without intellectual
disabilities').
