Gremlins Banished: Newsletter Links Problem Fixed

By David Farrell

Dear Subscribers,


While switching our website over to use a secure HTTPS connection, we ran into some problems with the links in our newsletter not resolving for some readers. You don’t need to know all the nerdy reasons for us having done this other than the fact that Google recently changed how it stores information for searches. It is long and complex and it took our IT team a little longer than expected to annihilate the gremlins and restore order to the kingdom of FYI.

We apologize for the problem, which is now fixed.

Canadian pop and jazz singer-songwriter and choir leader Coco Love Alcorn has just revealed that she is fighting an aggressive form of cancer. This will involve a long period of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and further surgery. Alcorn explains that "I have had to cancel all my touring, teaching, and performances for 2026 and my local choir is on hiatus till further notice. I also had 3 trips planned to BC this winter/spring to record my new album and that project is also on hold."
