SONG OF THE WEEK. Days 2 and 3: “Shelter vocabulary, don’t shelter grammar” – a demo by Lynette and Sabrina. Date: July 10, 2014. I am in Agen, France, attending my very first TPRS. Workshop.

I got to watch a few of these, and it seems like an amazing project. We talked about the roles in traditional flamenco, the dialect in Andalucía ( cantador. A presentatio...
