            <title>Summertime and the livin' is greasy...</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#24</link>
            <description><![CDATA[We have been doing well, but not so the ocean we continue to spoil with our lack of foresight, caution, wisdom and humility.  Only when the crisis is in our face do we seem to care and realize that materialism and greed are unhealthy for all living beings.  How much pollution will it take till we know that clean healthy systems are gold?<br />Anyway, I am feeling the need more and more to sing political music as well as fun, danceable music that gives us some balance and relief.  So that's what you can depend on when you come to see us.  <br />We look forward to a busy July and may take part of the month of August off!<br />Swim clean, don't cook in the sun too long, enjoy the summer!]]></description>

            <title>It's Spring!</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#23</link>
            <description><![CDATA[It's spring - the farmer's markets are outdoors, the earth is smiling with flowers, greening with grass and trees and erupting with veggies and herbs!<br />We will be all over the place, from Schenectady to Delmar, Troy to Albany, Stephentown to Schaghticoke.  Never enough time to do all there is to do, but we are having fun doing what we can!<br />Hope you all have a great spring and summer and we'll see you at our gigs and maybe the GottaGetGon, Old Songs Festival, or Falcon Ridge. No, we're not performing at them, but yes, we will be playing and having fun along with everyone else!<br />Enjoy the sun and puddles!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Dance Flurry wonderful and over, super cold coming to an end, where's the snow - oh yeah, in the south, no such thing as climate change - (denial is a river in egypt!) Music Together with those toddlers saving my sanity as always, having a lot of fun with Dangerous On Decaf taking shape, back to Planet Fitness (the no judgement zone!) standing for peace on fridays with a few Schenectady neighbors, continuing  cleaning out clutter, (Gawd, who knew there was so much?)  loving the farmer's markets, loving my friends, nothing like a warm bed on a cold night, playing ukelele, rehearsing Bach's Mass in B Minor with 100 plus others, what a trip - when did corporations become people, why do we have a Supreme Court in a so-called democracy - looking for the resolutions I misplaced - megabus to NYC is great and affordable - NYC is a blast! People's Music Network conference was dynamite- looking forward to going to the Dulcimer Fest in Latham, a children's music workshop at Lesley U in Cambridge MA,  a women's singing retreat in April, NEFFA festival later, perhaps- and then, GottaGetGon and Old Songs...mmm, mmm, mmm, life can be sweet when it's filled with music!    Happy birthday Mandy & Joyce!]]></description>

            <title>Happy New Year - Here's to Eternal Hope!</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#21</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I am making and hopefully not breaking some New Year's resolutions.  I want to learn to speak Spanish at least enough to get by, knit and crochet maybe, get in better shape, always; practice more and play music with more people for fun and money, stay as healthy as possible, have fun as always, and just live love laugh and learn!  Not too much to ask, right?  <br />I hope we can evolve as a species<br />and get the idea of non-violence as a way of life into our collective heads someday.  Wouldn't that be something?  Imagine....]]></description>

            <title>Giving Thanks</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#20</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I am grateful to have the privilege of sharing music with others, leading children and parents in music and movement classes, playing with friends and other musicians, singing Bach in a choir, and finding out that music and movement is so healthy and good for our bodies and brains.  I thought it was just fun all those years I was growing up!<br />Hope we see you around at a gig or two, and that we can all remember to be grateful to wake up every day  and know we pretty much live in a place of privilege in this world.  Let's keep trying to get a little greener too, for the next generations and our own health!]]></description>

            <title>A Fast and Full Fall!</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#19</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Wow, things are flying around in the wind, and I'm one of them!  Life has been hectic, but good, and I have a nice big Music Together class in Saratoga keeping me hopping and dancing on Mondays, as well as two in Clifton Park on Thursdays and one in Schenectady on Fridays.  Those little folks are what keeps me going, and I feel so lucky to have them in my work and life.   As my husband the chimney sweep tries to keep up with the annual demand of people getting ready for the snow and cold, I am trying to keep it together while learning music for children, for my duo, "Dangerous On Decaf", for an occassional band date with Steel Street Rose, and for the Burnt Hills Oratorio Society and our concert performing JS Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" with orchestra and soloists!  Then there's the last of the outdoors farmer's markets and looking forward to some new venues...<br />Keep warm, drink some cider to celebrate the season, play no tricks but savor some treats,  and stop by and see me sometime!]]></description>

            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#18</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Exciting news!  I will be directing my own Music Together site in Saratoga Springs, beginning October 5th 2009.  I will offer 10 and 11am classes for newborns to 5yr olds and their caregivers.  The classes are 45 minutes each, and the semester will run for 10 weeks.  I will offer two free demonstration  classes on Sept 21 at 10 am and Sept 28 at 11:15 am.  Look for upcoming publicity and details about this, and tell anyone you know in Saratoga with infants and toddlers about it!

            <title>6 song sampler cd coming to a place near you!</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#17</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi Folks,<br />Because I  began recording a new family cd and because I will be singing at a Vets For Peace peace conference this weekend, Aug. 15 and 16 <br />(kateripeaceconference.org) I decided to make a sampler cd of political parodies to sell at the conference and while I am continuing to record.  I have had requests to record my funny stuff and political stuff, so I am doing that at the same time.  I will have these 6-song samplers on hand at my gigs, asking donations of $1 - $5 for them.   Hopefully there will be a full-length cd in the near future, on which these may appear, either the same or fancier.  The songs are:<br />1.George Bush, Goodbye <br />2.All Of Me<br />3. Little Boxes<br />4. Waking Up Is Hard To Do<br />5. Crime After Crime<br />6. Home On The Earth<br />They are suitable for adults and adolescents.   Let me know if you are interested by speaking to me in person, or emailing me at tlroben@yahoo.com.<br />Thanks and have a happy August!]]></description>

            <title>Bye Bye July!</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#16</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Wow, almost August already!<br />Well, Wednesday the 29th the rain held off for my kids concert at the Troy Riverfront Park and a good time was had by all.  However, it came down in buckets in the evening but that didn't stop us from having a good audience and a great time at The Moon and River Cafe in downtown Schenectady.  Linda Hartman and I debuted a bunch of songs we'd been practicing together, and though it was hot and muggy, we were given a response for our efforts!  We will go with the name "Dangerous On Decaf" from now on when we duet, compliments of friend Alice's casual comment during a giddy coffee conversation.  Hope to get Chrys Ballerano to join us next month at the Moon and River to turn it into a trio for a few songs at least!<br />Have a good weekend.  I'm looking forward to seeing the musical "Rent' tomorrow at Proctor's theater in Schenectady.  <br />peace and keep on!<br />Terri]]></description>

            <title>Summer of Cool</title>
            <link>http://terriroben.com/news.html#15</link>
            <description><![CDATA[We had a wonderful performance in Harvard MA of "Come Round Right" the dance Marta Renzi choreographed with her Project Company dancers, along with 10 young dance students from the area.  The rain held off until after we had cleared the forest site, so we felt blessed.  We had some nice pre- PR, including this piece from the Boston Globe - <br /><br /><a href="http://www.boston.com/yourtown/wellesley/articles/2009/06/25/marta_renzi_and_project_company_will_perform_at_fruitlands_museum?s_campaign=8315">http://www.boston.com/yourtown/wellesley/articles/2009/06/25/marta_renzi_and_project_company_will_perform_at_fruitlands_museum?s_campaign=8315</a><br /><br />Summer has been cool, sunny, rainy and beautiful in my book.  I love biking 7 miles every morning without feeling drenched in sweat, but I am hope all the folk festivals don't get rained out! <br />My friend Linda Hartman and I are cooking up a mix of blues, jazz, jug music and folk.  We have decided on a name for our particular blend - Dangerous On Decaf! - so expect to see that name floating around in the future as we try to break into some new venues as well as our familiar spots.  <br />I am also excited to announce that I will begin work on a new family cd and hope to have it well before the holidays.  And a new partner in children's music may be appearing on the horizon for me...keeping my fingers crossed!<br />Please tell your friends with small children in Saratoga to stop by Caffe Lena's on August 23 at 3pm for a children's concert of wonderful Paul Strausman music, performed by myself and Andy Morse, and a few other surprise guests.  Proceeds will go to the Strausman family college fund.<br />Enjoy the rest of July and see you around the Capital District!]]></description>
