Ron Wilkins and Rebecca Patterson have just released a record The Vigil and The Sleeping Giant from their project Trombocalists. The album includes a four-movement Covid Suite and four additional compositions.  This is big band music taken to a whole new level of consciousness!

Both Rebecca and Ron are accomplished musicians and composers, involved with many musical projects from Broadway to Big Band and more.

Ron’s Covid story is powerful, and one of millions.  People continue to contract the disease. Some have a brief encounter, for others it can be very serious, even fatal, or leaving the person alive but with debilitating Long Covid.

Natalie Bogwalker and Chloe Lieberman have written a great book The New Natural Food Garden: A Comprehensive Guide to Growing a Bountiful Harvest with Less Work, in Partnership with Nature. Having worked and gardened and taught gardening together for years at Wild Abundance, this book was an organic next step.

This book is a significant contribution to the body of work on sustainability, an impressive collection of visual, text, and organized information. A person with no experience gardening will find more than enough to get started growing their own food. An experienced gardener will find lots of useful tips and specific information for growing dozens of varieties of plants.

Humans have been gardening forever, and especially during times where social upheaval, like war or political turmoil, effect access and supply chains, people return to gardening.
