Ballads and Broadsides, Ragtime and Old-Time, Blues and Bluegrass, Cowboys and Cajuns, Jugbands and Jazz. If you’ve ever wanted a guide through the weird, wonderful world of early American recorded music, this is for you! Between 1920 through the 1940s, songs and melodies nearly lost to history were preserved, but it was also a time when innovation was rampant. This course will use numerous recordings from this period to illustrate this aural landscape. You’ll learn about the historical context, the recording technologies, the performers and their instruments, and some of the distinctive regional and ethnic genres and styles. Whether you hate “folk” music, or like it, I’ll bet you’ll be surprised by what you hear.
David Murphey is a musician and record collector who has been going down this rabbit hole for a good many years, delighting in the intersections of culture, history, life experience, and artistry that make up this music.

Life is full of things that rise and fall, flourish and decay, bloom, wither and die away. Local author Cynthia Rafetto Kreilick uses her book The Rise and Fall of Sandcastle Town to explore how we care for people and things in times of vitality and decline, and how we process the emotions that grip us. Cynthia wrote The Rise and Fall of Sandcastle Town as a tribute and a catharsis, watching her elderly mother and her home of 62 years decline with age. Following the reading and discussion, participants create artwork, using mixed media, that prompt conversation about their own tools for processing grief and healing the heart. Participants receive a complimentary copy of Cynthia's book.
About the Instructors: Cynthia&nbsp;Rafetto Kreilick has worked as a television and digital media producer, early childhood educator, and writer and publisher. She is now retired, writing, teaching and publishing at her leisure.&nbsp;As founder and director of Blooming Peace Studio, Daune Marie’s mission is to offer artistic and therapeutic opportunities in a safe space that are heart-focused and soul-centered, for people to transform and heal on many levels.
