A year-end greeting from Samantha Davidson Green, JAM Executive Director
(who erroneously says she's at JAM when she's quite obviously in her study at home!)

Mainly Mozart
One of our favorite places to see live music is Court Street Arts in nearby Haverhill, NH. Intrepid videographer volunteer Chad Finer captured this exquisite solo piano performance by Bernard Rose of New Hampshire's North Country Chamber Players. The piece is Mozart's Rondo for Solo Piano. Its emotional intensity has led some to compare this middle-period work to the best of Chopin.

The Big O
Not standing ovation, the other Big O. Social sexuality educator, author, and comedian Cindy Pierce explains the difference between men and women's desire for sex with two interpretative dances. Men are like a NASCAR race, she says. Women? "Random as all get out....Start in the valleys, head to the peaks, back to valleys, peaks, plateaus, peaks that weren't on the horizon...."

How does the human energy system, also known as chakras, impact learning? That was the focus of an AmeUp conversation at JAM by Maureen Burford, director of Thetford-based Creative Lives, which offers online courses on the WiseEducation (no space) approach. "Without being a therapist for the kids, we can turn classroom behaviors around. We can help kids become who they're here to be and guide them on their paths," she said.

Prelude
Coming soon
In the spring of 1854 seventeen-year-old Adeline Elizabeth Hoe began to keep a daily diary. Filled with six months of the details of a young girl’s life, the diary offers a wonderful window into the mind of an educated young woman from a well-to-do family living in Lower Manhattan in the turbulent decade before the Civil War. Her meticulous record of the elegant music, dances and literature she and her sister enjoyed is juxtaposed with her matter-of-fact relation of epidemics and sudden deaths, conveying a vivid picture of mid-nineteenth-century life.
Plainfield, NH author Helen Davidson, a descendant of Adeline, transcribed the diary with her husband, Richard Davidson. Helen wrote the novel Prelude, while transcribing Adeline’s diary, re-imagining the life of this spirited young girl.
Davidson is bringing this beautiful novel to audio book format. Look for the release coming soon!
