Sharing song at the Oshtemo Libary.
In the fall of 2014, I was invited to the “Fall Festival” at the Oshtemo Branch of the Kalamazoo Branch of the Kalamazoo Public Library. Kids, parents and grandparents joined me with songs and stories of “Lucky Lindy”, ” The Big Strong Handsome Raccoon”, “Let’s Go Fishing Now” and other songs.

I recently participated in an “Open Mic” at the Vibrant Grains Restuarant and Bakery in Wayland. The crowd was great and joined in singing along on the songs.

I was honored ot open for Tom Chapin at the Foundry Hall in South Haven. Bryan Whittemore joined me on bass, we had a great crowd and the evening was a blast.
With these elementary students, I shared my story about my little rescue dog, “Lucky Lindy”, fishing with my grandson and my dad, my cats that dance and many more. The stories cause the listeners to think about the people and events in their own lives.
Playing music and telling stories with the students and their families during the school “School Open House”.
“There he Goes!” During the song, “There’s a Bunny in My Backyard”, students point and shout, “There he goes!” We enjoy seeing wildlife in the city and in the country.
Lindy and I joined with the Kalamazoo SPCA for a Halloween Celebration. We provided music for the children and families at the event.
Foster Grandparents are a gift to the students. There were eleven Foster Grandparents in my building. I was please d to have the opportunity to share my songs with this group of Foster Grandparents. They proved themselves to be kids as heart.
Sharing my stories and songs with high school students was a treat. The students joined in with great enthusiasm. The students were from theater and storytelling classes.
