On January 9, 2021, many of us enjoyed the virtual workshop "The Magic of Words: Storytelling Art & Technique" taught by Heather Forest. Her music, stories, and teachings were wonderful and were heard by people from three continents and ten time zones.
We celebrated our 49th House Concert as well as being our 4th Proper-Distanced/Masked Concert. We thank the Hurley Family for hosting and the talents of Katherine and David on stage. Karl Behling entranced us with a frame story with several tales of wisdom between a merchant and a prince.
