June 2022

LAMPS is ramping up with all sorts of music planned for the season. Follow the LAMPS link above or even better, join this rapidly growing organization and help keep the Lubec area music community thriving!

Given that stress levels are at global highs, I'm offering here some of my favorite stress-reducing, relaxing, and inspiring videos. Seriously, they are my "goto" sanctuaries when I feel my spring's wound too tight. You can find more on the CB Music YouTube channel.

The Paul Winter Consort

Paul Winter's Solstice Celebrations are magnificent (June 18!), and we cheer when he starts to introduce Nikki and Lucky -- Watch and see why.

Missa Gaia

I would like to do video of all of Paul's work - or wish someone else would. At least the entire Missa Gaia. Wrote my philosophy paper on it long ago. Of course I got an "A". It's a great work - the music, I mean, not my paper. I might post the paper on my Easternmost Fred site someday.

Eugene Friesen and Elizabeth Rogers

I hesitate to describe my favorite things as "favorite" or "best" because those terms imply a hierarchy and somehow imply exclusion of all the other wonderful parts of life. This is especially true of the music performances at Crow Town Gallery. You can watch all the others on the channel and judge for yourself. Nevertheless, I also recall how overwhelmed I was by the reaction of the audiences to Liz and Eugene's concerts. Still overwhelmed.
