We will also have a guest musician for this week!  Elizabeth Block was born in New York and loves telling people, “I wuz boan in Brooklyn.  You gotta PROBLEM wid dat?”  She was brought up on Gilbert & Sullivan, Broadway musicals (when they were written for singers), and the songs of Arthur Block – her dad wrote songs.  She went to the High School of Music and Art, where she was an art student, but was allowed to sing in the senior chorus in her last year.  She was a choral singer for decades, and a church soloist for many years.  She joined Toronto’s informal folk song circle in – she thinks – 1984. She knows a lot of songs, some in other languages, many satirical and/or political.  She has written new words to existing tunes, and a couple of times tunes to existing words.  Elizabeth is a potter by trade. You can check out her pottery work on her website: http://www.elizabethblockpottery.com/
