How is music therapeutic?
Let us count the ways. Music therapist Grace Rapetti, bereavement specialist John Monroe-Cassel, songwriter Ted Mortimer, singer Ula Hedwig, and Lebanon Opera House manager Brian Cook share reasons why music soothes the soul. Plus, a performance by Dana Cooper at Hanover Strings. Many thanks to Community Producer Barbara Krinitz for this new episode of her long-running series, "The Magic's in the Music."

Hope interrupted
Can anything positive be said about today's Middle East crisis? Poli Sci professor and former Haaretz columnist Miri Sucharov and law professor Omar Dajani, a former advisor to Palestinian peace talk negotiators, spoke last week at Dartmouth's Dickey Center about "friendship across differences." "I feel a pressure to reach across the aisle...to find common ground," said Dajani. "What the moment demands is generating urgency in the range of audiences....We try to be faithful to communities we come from while being honest about our values."

That's the title of the most recent book by Dartmouth religion professor Randall Balmer, an Episcopal priest. He spoke on the "plight of Christianity in America" at the Church of Christ at Dartmouth last month. "It's clear to most of us that Christianity is on the ropes in America these days," he said. To arrest the decline, Christians must first reckon with America's "original sin" of racism, according to him.

An evening with local poets
Lampshade Poets
Thursday, Nov. 9 7-8:30PM
Free@JAM
In 2012, David Celone couldn't find a poetry reading group in the Upper Valley area, so he started his own. The group met at Long River Studios Gallery in Lyme, NH, and Lampscapes in WRJ, hence the "Lampshade Poets." The poets moved to the Hotel Coolidge and Café Renée until the pandemic forced a closure. Until now... Two of the original poets, Janet Watton and Pam Ahlen, are bringing the Lampshades back – this time to JAM! Open to all Lampshaders and any poets interested in reading their original work.
JAM will record this event.
