Hello Friends,
I have several great shows coming up, plus a new song to share. This one earned me a few points with my wife, Margo. Come on into the kitchen. I’ll sing it for you.
Hello Friends,
There is an election coming up in November so it is time for this folksinger to place a peg in the sand. In this issue of The Kitchen Musician I chime in with a kind of musical antithesis for trickle-down economic theory. Join me in this time-honored folk tradition of political commentary around the cracker barrel.
Hello Friends,
This month I share a wonderful gift I received from the kids in the young animators class at Creative Arts at Park – an animation of my song “New Hampshire Wind”. I also have several great shows to tell you about. Come into my kitchen! Please close the screen door behind you.
Hello Friends,
A favorite summer activity when our kids were growing up was to make instruments from stuff that was lying around waiting to go to the trash. We had fun performing concerts at the picnic table. Read on to see the creation and debut performance of a similar junk band with some brave teachers who agreed to try something new in front of their students. Welcome to my kitchen!
Hello Friends,
For me, May is full of feelings of joy and rebirth mixed with the sweet sadness of remembering lost loved ones. This month I share a song that perfectly pairs these two emotions, born from the story of how women kept the (mostly male) dancing tradition alive in England while men served in France during the first world war. Join me in my kitchen. I take honey with my tea. How about you?
