You can hum but don't sing

A FORMER Jewish grand rabbi Mordechai Eliahu has laid down the law on amateur operatics in the shower: you can hum but you can't sing.
"You will not sing in the shower," the former leader of Israel's Sephardic Jews instructed a listener inquiring about Talmudic laws on an ultra-Orthodox religious radio programme.

Rabbi Eliahu explained that the Hebrew language, holy to the Jewish religion, was not to be sullied by use in a bathroom, Wednesday's edition of Yediot Ahronot newspaper reported.

But the rabbi, considered a religious authority in world Judaism, went on to soften his stand.

"To hum without a word in Hebrew crossing your mind is acceptable," he said.

Gotta love putting your own personal spin on religion.  I guess the "Sing unto the Lord" never got into his version of the old testament.

Roll-over

Or Snowball, either term works. Our Monday performance has once again rolled over to become another job. We have been engaged to perform at someones' 40^th birthday party, on Feb 5th.  It will be a late night performance, so no worry about the SwanCon 2006 meeting conflict.  :)
