11 Obscenely Optimistic Songs For Ukulele: A Micro-Folk Record For The 21st Century And Beyond, is a new songbook and album jam-packed with ridiculous songs about kittens, world peace, flying cars and the transformative power of love. Why? Because we all need a ray of sunshine every now and again. Because it's important to not lose sight of how good things could be. Because the first step to a better world is to imagine a better world.

Headwaters Music and Arts – Art Club Exhibit

 

The public is welcome to attend the Headwaters Art Show at 4-6 pm Friday, May 12 at 519 Minnesota Ave NW.  The show will feature the work of the Headwaters Art Club members, a group of 15 elementary and middle school girls who have met weekly this spring with area artists Diamond Knispel and Terry Honstead.  Each week the group learned about a well known artist then worked on a project based on that artist’s style or technique.   The group has a goal to help children in foster care by providing items such as back packs and personal toiletries.  The $3 admission and any artwork and refreshments sold during the art show will go towards this goal.  For more information contact Headwaters Music and Arts at 444-5606.
