SmallTall Musings: October 2006
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Well, this "bi-vocational ministry" of music-making and home-making has been weighted pretty heavily toward the music-making lately, with 3 events this past week, finishing up the first "delivery" of new songs, and a painful learning process about converting recordings to mp3 files (though I now know how to make brand new audio files that sound remarkably like folk records from the 40s.). By the way, listening to Johnny Cash at ...

SmallTall Musings: September 2006
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Friday, September 29, 2006. Five years ago, when we burned 50 CDs of my first informal collection of 6 new children’s songs for the missional church, I would have laughed in your face if you’d told me I’d be doing what I’m doing now. I could trace the history-so-far of SmallTall Music. I am profoundly grateful for all these conversations, and I literally don’t know where I’d be without them. I’m glad that, with some of you, I’m able to keep in touch an...

Welcome to Evespeak, a blog by Eve Goldberg! Tuesday, October 21, 2008. I Need a Nickname. I love nicknames. I've never had a nickname, and I'm thinking if I could find the right nickname, I could ratchet up my "cool" factor. Think about it. Having a nickname gives you a mysterious quality. A musician with a nickname obviously has friends, because who else gives you a nickname? But more importantly, it means you have some unmistakable quality that deserves to immortalized - think Duke Ellington. Recently...

SmallTall Musings: December 2006
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Friday, December 22, 2006. I'll be taking a brief break from blogging as we celebrate Christmas. I'll be back, blogging like mad, in two weeks or so. Meanwhile, here are some wise words, heard on a hillside a long time ago:. And here are some more, heard regularly on CBC radio from Jasper Friendly Bear of Dead Dog Cafe:. Wait for the signs. Posted by Bryan Moyer Suderman @ 9:02 AM. Tuesday, December 19, 2006. Well, the only thing that stunk (stank? It's ti...

SmallTall Musings: February 2007
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Monday, February 26, 2007. Some quotes (as approximate or accurate as my memory and hand-written scrawls could make them) from Raffi's "song and word presentation on Child Honouring" that we attended last week:. Maslow (of "Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs") decided to study people who are well. What a novel idea! He said: "Healthy individuation requires resisting unhealthy enculturation.". If we could re-design society for the benefit of the youngest of us!

SmallTall Musings: January 2007
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Wednesday, January 31, 2007. It feels like I'm going through an abrupt seasonal shift. And no, this time I'm not talking about climate change. Now it seems I need to make the shift to a more "administrative" season, as I need to:. Get going on logistics for the new recording (figuring out who I will record with, where, when, how.). Take care of some detail stuff for my March tour. In Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Post my February delivery. Saturday, Jan...

SmallTall Musings: November 2006
http://smalltallmusings.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Miscellaneous meanderings of a musical ministry. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. This weekend we saw a wall hanging with words that "cut me to the quick," and, in a relatively rare moment of extravagance, we bought it. On the spot. Don't have a permanent place for it yet, but it's hanging now in my little room/studio/creative space where I can see it as I write. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful. It is our light, not our darkness. On my first CD th...
