  • 6/2/25: “All Them Birdies,” by the songplayer.
    Benjamin Goldenhour (the songplayer.) is serious about play, encouraged in chaos, and loves a good ol’ fashioned mistake; he has no idea what he is doing, but that has fortunately never been a hindrance. He lives in the woods somewhere outside Seattle with his novel-writing partner, rock-chewing mutt, and nap-dodging toddler. Listen for his new music on the second day of each month.
    This month’s recording centers on the scent of freshly fallen rain, the varied sounds that birds make, and the inspiring experience of committed love.
