Just minutes from Boise, Idaho, a short drive can take you back over 100 years in history. Listen to author Stacey Guill talk about the life of Mary Hallock Foote. As Mary's husband Arthur struggled to engineer waterways around the city, Mary did illustrations for Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorn, and some publications that brought our pioneer western life into the awareness of people living in the east. Author Wallace Stegner wrote a book on Mary's life that is more fiction than fact. She didn't get much credit for it, and he won a Pulitzer Prize. A play called "Fair Use" was written and performed about them both. Our friends at Radio Boise have a chance for you to hear a performance at this site. Stacey Guill has done over 20 years of research on Mary Hallock Foote, and is full of knowledge about Foote Park. You'll want to get her book, "Stone House in the Cañon." She designed one of the information plaques at the park, and continues to learn more about this family, and their story. Let your mind journey into Mary's life and story, and let yourself experience the journey by taking the drive across Lucky Peak dam, turn right, and find the park at the end of the road by the river.

Jonathon Nadeau is a creator, film fest organizer, computer genius, and guitarist. He is also blind. He chats about his life, positive outlook, music, and his film fest. Positive outlook is so important right now, especially to me. I am recovering from surgery for colon cancer, which came as a complete and terrifying surprise. I took one of those home tests and it flagged something, so I got a colonoscopy. I was sure they'd find nothing, I had no pain or symptoms. I woke up being asked what my favorite hospital was. Please, if you're 45 or older, get a home FIT or Cologuard test, or colonoscopy. Catching this early could have saved my life. I was contacted by The Tournadeau Film Fest regarding my short film, "Violin Scratches," featuring violinist Gaelynn Lea. Gaelynn is busy scoring music for the Broadway prodution of MacBeth! Gaelynn and her music continue to inspire people globally. Last week, film fest organizer Jonathan Nadeau had an hour-long Zoom chat neither of us wanted to end. He asked many questions about my film and work, and I realized I wanted right away to schedule a separate Zoom so you could meet him and hear his story. Jonathon and I start by chatting about the last session I mixed by Mongolian Throat Singers, The Hu. https://youtu.be/Mj0yE3zvRt8 Deadline for the Tournadeau Film Fest is June 30th. TournadeauFreedom is a code that will get you free entry through Film Freeway. We talked about all kinds of music, and how he had discovered the powerful drumming by The Eastern Medicine Singers. https://youtu.be/1CrETgA3eQM I've only been to Connecticut once, and absolutely loved it. I hope someday to make it to Putnam to catch this festival, or any of the creative projects Jonathon is involved in. My hope is to soon hear him playing a left-handed mandolin!
