A video of one of the crankies that Elizabeth LaPrelle and I made.

An old banjo tune, the Lost Gander, inspired visions of birds flying, leaves falling and snowflakes in the sky. This is what we came up with! I'm hoping to make a more high-quality video of it at some point, but for now, this will do. A video our friend Toby Garlitz made at a house concert in Monroe County, West Virginia.

(What a great night! It was at the home of some of my students. So the first segment of the night was an impromptu student recital, then our crankie show... and, on a sugar high from all the great desserts people brought... we made, with my middle school-aged students, a crankie about the Justin Bieber song "baby." An epic gory version that could only come from the mind of a 6th grade boys.)

Hi there, I was wondering whether you offered any advertising possibilities on your website? I have a friend who is looking to promote his new website.

You can prepare for your project management exam by spending weeks reading books, or you can simply get the PM PrepCast. This training course was created by a project management expert who has had several years of experience in the field of project management and PMP training.

Would it be okay with you if I linked to this page from my website? Just asking since some people don't allow linking to their sites if you don't take their permission.

Engineers who would like to have careers in management positions should seriously think about getting the PMP certification so that they can learn how to manage projects effectively. Getting the certification is a matter of passing the PMP exam which can be done with a bit of online PMP certification training.

Music venues

Anna, I had a wonderful day with Elise Whitt this last Saturday. She suggested I contact you in regard to music venues in the Atlanta area. I am struggling to re-establish myself as a performing musician and actually could use any guidance you might be willing to share for the entire Appalachian region.

On another note, Reel World is celebrating our 35th Anniversary at the Singletary Center in Lex on October 6. It's a benefit for the New Opportunity school for Women.

I hope you are happy and well and that our paths cross again soon.

Sue
