We did sing, resulting in the worst rendition ever of "Oh, Susanna!" This is not false modesty. We were truly terrible. Neil Gaiman, refraining from joining in on the grounds that he's a Brit, said, "Couldn't you guys at least choose one key?" Apparently not.
And now, because nothing on the Internet ever dies, there are photos. There may be a video. So, to forestall the gunshot wound by firing first, here are Carolyn Clink, Rob Sawyer, Michael Swanwick, me, and David Hill murdering poor Susanna, while Neil winces in pain.

The picture fails to display, but I'm sure the one in my mind is, ah...sufficient.
It is pity that such a wonderful picture fails to display. Maybe you could try again?
Nancy,
Your post here got a very warm response from Michael Swanwick, and he raised the singing to a much higher level:
