My Virtual Coffee House Show

August 9, 2020 by Kate Walter

Back in the day, when my friends and I were young and eager to be out sharing poetry and music, the coffeehouse beckoned. Public, legitimate, no age limits, no alcohol licensing requirement, coffee houses in the Chicago area often had a stage as well, many with hours scheduled for drop in performers on the “Open…READ MORE >

Four Leg Peg

October 16, 2014 by Kate Walter

I first saw this easel design when I was living and working in Toronto, Canada. Two different schools had several in storage and brought them out to display signs or art work in progress at festivals or at special classroom events. Neither school used them for individual easels in full classes – I’m thinking they…READ MORE >

Treasures in the Marketplace

March 13, 2014 by Kate Walter

I first saw the bracelet at a music festival some years ago in Toronto.  The copper color caught my eye, and I was attracted by the beautiful design of the letters cut from metal. “What do these words say?” I asked the Tibetan vendor. “It’s a mantra,” he answered, “inviting enlightenment for everyone on earth.”…READ MORE >

A Visit to Panther Peak Bindery

November 4, 2013 by Kate Walter

   Mark Andersson greeted us at the door of Panther Peak Bindery, smiling a welcome as we pulled into the parking yard of his workshop.  We emerged from vehicles, a seventh grade class from the Tucson Waldorf School, driven and accompanied by four adults, already enjoying our field trip of exploration having just driven through a…READ MORE >

What the Kids Are Up To These Days

October 2, 2013 by Leo Cox

It’s 6:00 am on a Wednesday. Barry Paull is getting ready for another full day. Wednesday is always the longest day for Compostwheels drivers, as that is the day we have scheduled the longest of our pick-up routes through metro Atlanta.

Day is Done

January 17, 2013 by Michael Wright

We appreciate the response to the cd Day Is Done. The idea arose three and a half years ago with the birth of our first grandchild and finally got off the ground with the birth of our second—lullabies.   Two of the songs, “The Riddle Song” and “All the Pretty Little Horses”, were recorded in…READ MORE >

Garden of Radio Delights

Roll back the tape: 1960, Cincinnati, Ohio, 3 am. My upstairs bedroom.  Headphones on, I’m squinting in the dark at the lighted dial of my Hallicrafter S-38e short wave radio, with a Q-multiplier attached that I built from a Heathkit. The S-38e was produced from 1957 to 1961, making it the end of the Hallicrafters S-38 line of shortwave…READ MORE >

Music in the Wood: Harmonic Forms by Paul Fairchild

I climbed down out of the Crow’s Nest and spent a recent Saturday afternoon worrying a pile of knotty red oak rounds with a maul and wedge, whittling them down to size for the wood stove. As I split them open, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful swirling grains in the wood, exposed to the sunlight…READ MORE >
