Tom Stoeffler and I loved playing for the Champagne Academy of Irish Dance‘s Christmas Céili 2017.
Awesome job, dancers! Thanks for including us.
St. Patrick’s Day as it is observed in most American cities is a consumerist sham. Sure, it started in the early 17th century as a religious feast day honoring the death day of St. Patrick in 462 AD, but it has devolved to a level of kitsch that deters many from any desire to observe the day at all.

9 years ago yesterday. @joseph_dutcher has had this Dad gig on lock from day 1. #superdad #georgiaaquarium #dolphinsaredopePlease join us May 12th at 3:00 PM at the @englerttheatre for a program of old and recent favorites from the past five years, and help us celebrate the Family Folk Machine’s fifth anniversary! @familyfolkmachine #familyfolkmachine #thismachinewagespeace #marcbroussard #homeI love our yellow tulip's annual reminder that you can only be yourself. #growingOff to a good start with a relentlessly cheerful breakfast. #smilingsmyfavorite #cashewbutterandjam #boopmyfishoilnose #findthefunIntroducing Trapolin, my featured musician for May and June! Every teacher knows that you learn at least as much from your students as you could ever hope to impart to them. This has never been more true than in the case of Trapolin. Trapolin has a huge breadth of knowledge in so many interesting and uniquely connected topics. His profile posted above is an excellent example of the innumerable ways that music is enmeshed in a dedicated musician’s individual spectrum of interests. Please also notice Trapolin’s answer to the “best thing about being a musician”. He has already at the tender age of 16 authentically embraced the therapeutic benefits of music making. We could all learn from Trapolin’s wisdom in honoring how music blooms in his individual experience. I believe that originates at least in part from the unconditional support and enthusiasm that I see in his family as they each pursue their own and celebrate in each other’s creative interests. I see a long and happy musical future for Trapolin and I’m so grateful for all that he continues to teach me. #mmsfeaturedmusician #mcgovernmusicstudio #taramcgovern #musicisfunThere are many ways to experience a livestream of A Midsummer Night's Dream. You could wear pajamas and nerd out on the couch with the Norton. You could wear headphones and bounce on the exercise ball (observation: the catalectic trochaic tetrameter of the fairies is more bounceable than the iambic pentameter of the nobles). You could opt out entirely and play a computer game instead. When an artistic team is creative about inviting people into an experience, endless possibilities exist for growth and connection. We were all grateful to the magnificent team at @uiowatheatre for giving our family an opportunity to experience the beauty of a favorite play in exactly the way that appealed to each of us. I don't know if arts accessibility to neurodiverse families was what was in mind when this opportunity was conceived but we are deeply grateful. #uiowatheatre #midsummernightsdream #livestream #artsaccessibility #autismacceptance #neurodiversity #catalectictrochaictetrameter #iambicpentameter #nortonshakespeare #findthefun #magnifyjoy #youdoyouFollow me on Twitter
