Hey folks.
First: I hope you’re having a specTACular sunny Solstice Season, and will have as happy a holiday week as you possibly can. I am doing well, I have no basement to flood, my dog is fine & unbelievably popular around here on the mean streets of Montpelier, some of which popularity spills over onto me, which I don’t particularly deserve, but for which I’m grateful
Second: (a) I will soon be putting some of the live-streamed tales from last year’s Lost Nation Theater show up online. They’re pretty good. (b) If you’d like to be notified about this, please email me and I’ll make sure you get the links to the videos. (c) If you’d like to see an edited version of the whole 90 minute show, “50 Years of Storytelling,” minus all the dead air and such, I’ve got one that’s all cleaned up & that I’m quite proud of, & it's already online; if you want, email me and I’ll send you the link. (d) There will be more storytelling videos this year, since I’m doing another, different, live-streamed family show in February.
Third and most time-sensitive: I have a couple of live appearances coming right up, and then more stuff as the winter season advances. If time and distance & inclination permit (which I know is not true for many reading this) I’d love to see you at any one of them.
Friday Dec 29 10:30 AM Greensboro Vermont.

There’s more stuff scheduled & more pending— a couple of music visits per month to nursing homes and senior living places, storytelling shows & workshops in elementary and upper schools. Email me if you’re curious. I often get this kind of stuff by word of mouth, so feel free to talk to schools, residences, libraries, coffeehouses, etc. I am most certainly Still Booking, through winter and further ahead.
My campaign to reenter the workforce-- post Leanne, post Covid, post-floods etc— has met with the usual ups and downs, but seems to be gaining momentum The work itself has been rather good I think, and I love love love performing again. That and my little dog keep me going.
And I love being in contact with you, that keeps me going too. Let me know how you’re doing.
