Kingfishers fish in pairs in the slough outside my house. You can hear the rattle on still evenings..Eagles abound..crows..blue green swallows nesting now.. all right in view from my window.. how cool. The trees in the water reflect showing everything double..double boats, double houses, double clouds. Sitting over flowing water..watching the wind patterns dance...I've been listening to Whole Wheat Radio since January almost every day. Good songs...good vibes... I am a real newby at computer work..and some of the artists are totally unfamiliar to me..so I have been really enjoying trying out all the songs..and the wonderful way this is organized. thanks everyone for putting together such a great website!!
I love accoustic music. Guitar, piano, harp, cello, all genre..silly to sentimental. I especially love to hear it played up close and personal. Have to say, house concerts are a favorite. If you are a traveling musician, and would like to play in my town this summer. Drop me an email. I'll try to help. Or if you host house concerts in Alaska, please keep me in your loop.
Seldovia Summer Solstice Musical (June 20 and 21, 2008) http://www.seldoviamusicfestival.org/albums/festival08/index.html The festival was outstanding, from the ferry jam to the show, to the late night stuff. The next festival will be June 18, 19 and 20 2009 Deadline for applications is March 1, 2009
I have been a major supporter of independent music in Alaska for over 30 years. Recently, I have been a member of various councils which promote the arts in Alaska including: Alaska Arts in Education, National Art Education Association, The Getty Museum (Arts Institutes) National Folk Alliance, National Folk Alliance region FAR-West, the Seldovia Arts Council, my own little house concert series, Crazy Crow and more. I just love this music because it represents the human spirit in the same way the story tellers tell stories and visual artists create. I even try to play a little guitar and write my own songs. I wish I could do more..
I just realized that I have been lucky enough to have seen over 100 of the artists played here on Whole Wheat Radio LIVE AND bought their CDs..I guess that is alot of support over time. Lots of them have been presented in Seldovia over the last 10 years. Some of them I've met at the Anchorage Folk Festival which is coming up this January. What a grand thing this is. And what about National Folk Alliance???
Some very candid shots of Independent music Folks at the FAR-West Invitational "Stars Over the West Room" in Memphis at National Folk Alliance 2007
National is coming up!!!! Who is going to be there this coming year?

HAPPY NEW YEAR Time for some new stuff. What do we know anyway.. nobody here is a soothsayer..(I hope)
Saw a Coyote on the trail in the city..it was too fast to get a picture..very cool. Some rabbits here still...at night.
I hear owls hooting..and overhead there are red-tailed hawks and birds all year long..
...still have "bumps" on the roof-that could be possums..or racoons,,just like I remembered as a kid.
Just love it here. Too many cars..though..
