5. Find Our Way Home with guest Maggie Wheeler

Maggie Wheeler talks about the bravery of this last year, how campfires affected her songleading, and how singing becomes a forgiveness practice. But first and last, she shares a song of hers, Find Our Way Home, which rose out of the pandemic, and will be included on a new project she has just started working on. (I go maybe a LITTLE fan-girl-squeaky, but, hey, my first interview, and someone I deeply admire -- I think I can be forgiven!)

Learn more about Maggie's extensive work, and sign up for her emails (I'm definitely on the list!) so you can keep up with what's coming up at goldenbridgechoir.com

I mention a Peter Occhiogrosso interview with Maggie, in which she eloquently describes the many benefits of singing, among other things...

Maggie mentions a few artists -- if you have a local music store, of course get them there -- but here are some links, as well:

Sweet Honey in the Rock Live at Carnegie Hall

Singer-songwriter Aimée Ringle -- Human and Tender 

The South African acapella group The Soil
