I really meant to be doing far more of these updates but the schedule is thankfully and gratefully so packed here in Detroit that I can barely get into bed before it’s time to get up and start singing again. The participation here has been insanely enthusiastic and wonderful.<\/p>\n

We’ve also been blessed with a lot of press including this piece that ran on NBC News here last night in Detroit last night:<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

If you’re in Detroit or know any Detroiters who are here there are two open to the public sing-alongs. The first is this Sunday at 3 PM in front of the House of Soul at the Heidelberg Project. The second is September 25 at 3 PM at the Detroit Historical Society. All are welcome though you are encouraged to learn the song before you come. You can get it here<\/a>:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/WeSingTheD\/<\/p>\n
