Welcome BACK to the Oldies

Vinyl Revival is the hot new harmony group that's growing in popularity with every performance!

Heather Cullen is the director of the Healdsburg/Windsor Children's Community Choir, director of the Windsor Performing Arts Academy, as well as a music teacher. 

Carol Noack is on the board for the Raven Theater in Healdsburg and keeps us updated on theater and entertainment in her newspaper column. 

Lisa Phipps is a Master Gardener and a teacher who loves to sing and play music whenever she can. 

Linda Freebairn is a musician and teacher and sings bass in the group.

Accompanist, Dana Preston, joined Vinyl Revival this Fall and has added a whole new dimension to their awesome show.

Why I SING!! by Heather Cullen

Why I SING!! by Heather Cullen

I am very involved with music in Sonoma County, My children are in various quartets and orchestras, sing locally and teach music. I teach as well, but my passion is really singing and I do it for FREE!!!.  I love the feeling of standing with another person and matching tone and quality and singing as one voice.  The resonance can make your nose tingle!  Then spliting into harmonies...duets, trios, quartets heightens the experience exponentially. I can feel it vibrating in my core and smoothing out my emotions and calming my being. Like shaking a pattern away on a sandtable, singing causes my mind and heart to be whole again even if for just a little while.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to be able to go to a Sweet Adaline Workshop in Petaluma.  For three weeks we met every Wednesday night to learn better skills of using our body as an instrument. Fine tuning, projecting, blending, adding personality....ahhh it was heaven, IT WAS HARD, but it was heaven.  Then the moment came when class was over and we got to go into the actual Sweet Adaline practice room.  There were scores of women of every shape, size, and color standing in the risers beaming at us fledglings. I don't think I've ever felt so much positive energy directed at me from so many people. They welcomed us into their mass of smiling faces. I took my place with the basses and received many nods of approval from those deep voiced sisters.  We know who rocks the choir...us!  Then we gave the director our rapt attention and at her signal began to sing. The voices of the women around me penetrated my body. It was like being in a massage chair and I sang louder to match the passionate sound in order not to get out of sych and fly to pieces.  I felt tears streaming down my face...is this not what heaven will be like??  It sounded awesome! I felt awesome!  My ears, brain, and every cell in my body seemed to be exaulted in a waterfall of sound. But even better than that was the image I had in my mind of the oneness of these women.  They were all different, different styles, politics, religions, ways of life, but they were all women and they all loved to sing and we were one in our love of that and peace was there. That's when my business motto came to me. Peace through Harmony...pretty good eh? 

So that's why I sing. It brings peace to myself and my world. It bonds people who would otherwise not bond. It is a pathway of healing and strengthening the soul and body. It's good medicine.
