I’ve been reading the news too much. I read every version of the same story in every news outlet, and sometimes I forget I’ve read them and I read them again. I think a lot of people are feeling concerned and even scared. But I thought it would be good to remember some of the important things that are not the news.

I asked Scott Carrier to tell me about a place in the wilderness, in a high meadow, far, far away from the news.

It’s a musical.

Willie Tobin provided the nature sound for this show. It was recorded on a September day in a clearing on the southwest side of Gillespie Mountain in Hancock, Vermont. I am so grateful to have these recordings. Thank you Willie!

Thank you Larry Massett and Tobin Anderson.
