2nd Saturday Community Concerts resume:

Phoenix rises in the joy of a sound that highlights the multi-instrumental talents of both musicians while focusing on a variety of vocal styles and abilities. This American folk pop duo consists of award-winning songwriters Tim and Kathy Crosby - who have been performing together for well over 2 decades. They have performed together from Las Vegas to Nashville, and most recently in Alaska!


Kicking off the new season with Phoenix! In their current configuration, Phoenix has released two full lenght albums, Rise and Viewpoint, along with the single Calamity Blues. Their music has not only won numerous awards, but has been featured on several specialty shows, including BWHs Her Voice, The Indie Radio Network, Indie Top Chart, and Women of Substance Radio (WOS) Music with a Conscience.

NEW YORK TIMES


Now in their 57th year, the Tannahill Weavers are one of Scotland's premier traditional bands. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, and original ballads and lullabies. Their music demonstrates to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for their exuberant and humorous performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can't get better...yet continue to do just that.


Seriously—don’t miss this show!

Enjoying the familiar view from my sister-in-law Rosie’s kitchen while Anne and I visited Candonaugh last month. There’s something pretty special about sitting around a kitchen table with family, and, of course, solving the world’s problems over a cup of tea. The Irish have a gift for making ordinary moments feel like something worth remembering. 💚 🇮🇪 ☘️

This photo has such a great

geometric-vs-organic thing going on


Almost everything is a straight line—the window frames, rooflines, wires, hedge, curtain pattern, even the tablecloth—then there’s that wonderfully curved wooden chair back sitting right in the middle of it all.


The clouds soften the whole scene. This photo wasn’t staged; it was accidentally perfect—a very orderly little world interrupted by one rebellious chair. 😄


PS: If you look closely, there’s also one little disorderly twig rejecting the hedge’s rigid conformity. 😂
