Limestone mortar help!

Hello!

We have a house built in 1874. Basement was neglected by previous owners. I desperately need to repoint.

It is limestone, and from what I understand, I need lime based mortar for it.

I've seen 2, 3.5, and 5, and about a bajillion places to buy the lime and all varying prices.

Would someone be willing to directly lead me to where to buy/what lime to buy, and exactly what sand to buy?

We only have a home depot local, and I've never seen lime there, but they do have bags of sand with the cement section.

Thank you!!

Signature song help?

I'm taking the reins of a community choir, and I'd love to add a 'signature song' to end concerts with, that members/alumni can come up and sing if they choose.

The other choir I direct does "Blessings", an Irish blessing rendition.

This group is a bit more musically knowledgeable, and I'd love some suggestions!

Community choir director sos!

Hello!

I am taking over the reins for a community choir starting this next season, which I am very excited for.

What I'm looking for insight on is this:

How much music do you program, minute wise? With or without an intermission?

The previous director would take a 10ish minute or so intermission, and we'd usually be done in about an hour. (His last concert was longer, not unexpectedly).

I was thinking about changing that, and *not* having an intermission, but wanted some input as to what your experiences are.

Thanks in advance!
