Whole Summers Spent Listening to these Three*

Simple in instrumentation

Topics the ordinary stuff

Given a dais and magical tune

For Jet Plane and Right Field and Puff.

Surely the masters of Folk Song

Cultures sprang forward anew

Here’s what we value in our common lot

You can sit down and sing too.

Laugh if the funny bone tickles

Cry if you hit a sore spot

Human emotion in all its rich tones

Artists who share what they’ve got.

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge.
