The Invisible

by OutOfTheRain on May 1, 2013


A rush of joy and gratitude washed over us as we looked out at the beautiful Dahlonega audience faces this past weekend. And earlier this month, as we were able to reconnect with so many friends at 45 South Cafe and meet some wonderful people at the Frew Manor benefit. Thank you.

Dates in May:
The Hungry Ear, Saturday 5/4 at 8:00. A $5 cover is requested, and canned food donations benefit the Sandy Springs Community Assistance Center. We’re glad to be sharing the evening with Louis Robinson.

The Heron House, Friday 5/31 at 7:00. A beautiful wooded sanctuary in Mountain Park, GA – just west of Roswell.

More to come as summer approaches! We’ll continually update the schedule (to the right).

***********************************

We’re creating music again. Although we never stopped, we’ve had to conserve energy – there’s yet more below the surface. Carol’s beloved father passed away in March. His legacy to her and to his entire family is immeasurable, his presence constantly felt. He joyfully filled the home with music of every style, including hundreds of classical recordings, jazz, The Graduate soundtrack, Joan Baez, Jean Redpath. A rich and beautiful singing voice could be coaxed out occasionally – Scottish songs that his parents stood him on the table to perform as a boy. He is remembered for his love.

I would love to live
Like a river flows
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding.

The Seas Between Us

November 20, 2012

“Nae man can tether time or tide.” ~ Robert Burns Both of us thank you for your smiles, your faces, your presence and your support as Ron’s negotiated the month of November while Carol’s been called away. It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since we recorded Auld Lang Syne. Carol’s lately been [...]

Prodigal

“Silent solitude makes true speech possible and personal. If I am not in touch with my own belovedness, then I cannot touch the sacredness of others. If I am estranged from myself, I am likewise a stranger to others.” ~Brennan Manning Saturday, October 20 – 8:00 PM: Ragamuffin Music Hall Longtime friend Kathy Reed opens. You’ll [...]

Out There

June 19, 2012

Out Here by Joe Paddock Small towns out on the prairie are mostly clean and bright now and maybe turned a notch or two too tight. Panting dogs no longer run free out here. And drunks no longer stagger and fall along Main Street. Their singing is not so much missed, but Main could use [...]

Smoke

April 6, 2012

LIGHT-WINGED Smoke, Icarian bird, Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight, Lark without song, and the messenger of dawn, Circling above the hamlets as thy nest; Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts; By night star-veiling, and by day Darkening the light and blotting out the sun; Go [...]

Portal

In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors. ~William Blake Doors that feel like wind, river, air, earth, and the nameless. Sometimes they swing open. Sometimes they’re like tunnels. No way to describe them adequately. Music comes close. We’re glad you’re here again. [...]

Universal Time

November 4, 2011

That one hour of extra sleep, we eagerly anticipate. And here’s a picture Ron took on Halloween. Which is to say–while enjoying music with close friends and some we see just fleetingly, it’s also been a time to simply abide. Those who know us well are aware of the changes, losses, and responsibilities that have gathered [...]

Faraway So Close

July 15, 2011

Summer so far has been a time for Ron to take photos (see left) and out of town trips, and for Carol to catch up on movies (having seen Wings of Desire nine times, finally the sequel!) and be with family. We’ve also had a chance to work on more songs and instrument/voice combinations. It’s been [...]
