I am returned from the recording session of A Besere Velt with Polina Shepherd and Lorin Sklamberg. We had four songs on which we had been working all for lack of a better word semester: they will be part of an album coming out next year, along with songs from the London Yiddish Choir, the London Russian Choir, the Brighton & Hove Russian Choir, the Brighton & Hove Yiddish Choir Chutzpah, and Lorin and Polina themselves.

(Also, apologies for that last paragraph being all one massive paragraph! It was originally three, but then I edited it on my phone to add in the publication year and DW immediately ate the paragraph breaks and refused to put them back in.)

I feel like somebody would write Yuletide fic for it.

I regularly write paragraphs of that length like they're normal, so please, do not worry!
