Hey, it's Heather, and I want to remind you about our very special tours to the UK.

In 2017, we'll be doing tours focusing on the Even Song experience.

The Even Song service comes from Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer from the mid-16th century.

It's been dubbed the Atheist's Favorite Service because it requires so little and it gives so much. It's simply

divine choral music sung in some of the most historic chapels, abbeys and cathedrals in England.

We'll be spending 10 days visiting places like Cambridge, Oxford, Bath, the Cotswolds,

Winchester and Windsor with walking tours, free time to explore,

and then gathering back each afternoon for the Evensong Service if you choose to attend.

It will be 10 days of beautiful countryside, historic cities and villages, and so, so much music. I invite you to go to Englandcast.com slash tours

for full itinerary and pricing information. Again, Englandcast, E-N-G-L-A-N-D, C-A-S-D, Englandcast.com

slash tours. Thanks so much and now to the show. So in 2011, I met Susie Digby via Twitter

and have been honored and privileged to have been part of a few of her many projects since then,

including last year's launch of the Golden Bridge Choir, where I was a volunteer usher.

The Golden Bridge brings together the choral traditions of Renaissance

England with the current flowering of choral music happening in California and her choir's

performing for the second year next Saturday, the 19th of September, at All Saints Episcopal Church,

504 North Camden Drive in Beverly Hills. It's the 19th of September at 8 o'clock

p.m. in Beverly Hills. For more details on that, go to goldenbridgequire.org. That's goldenbridge

choir, all one word, goldenbridge choir.org. So we recently Skyped so that she could tell me more about the music of the 16th century,

as well as what she loves about the contemporary choral music scene and the similarities between

Elizabeth in England and what's happening now in California. So I really need to apologize

in advance. We did this at 11 o'clock p.m. Spain time, where I am.
