From the Editor’s Desk

I have a serious problem with controlling myself in regards to the purchasing of old books. It’s the one thing I can never walk past at an auction or estate sale without buying at least one. Additionally, on many of my travels, I have managed to find some dusty, old book store stacked floor to ceiling with piles of books, some dating back to the 1600s (but definitely out of my price range). When I travel by air, I also only ever bring a carry-on bag, no matter how long the trip, so I only can usually bring one of those books home. The book is usually the extent of my souvenir purchase - but I can tell you where every old book in my house came from.

Kindred Spirits to take the stage in Montevideo

Kindred Spirits is more than just nice phrase, it’s the name of the music act coming to perform live at the Java River courtyard on Friday, September 9th at 6 pm. Pete Lothringer, Emily Hoffman, and Darwin Dyce make up the trio coming to Montevideo to play their music live. When asked about how Kindred Spirits came to be, they said, “We’ve been playing together as ‘official’ trio for about six years. Darwin sat in with Pete and another musician, Ross Anderson, and wondered about trying a trio with guitar, flute, and vocals. We’ve played in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings ranging from home concerts, farmer’s markets, local arts council events, and more.”
