Mind Mix Radio Holiday Presentation of The Cinnamon Bear

By Cyrellys Geibhendach.  When I was little, a local radio station had a wonderful tradition of broadcasting the charming childrens story The Cinnamon Bear.  Starting on Thanksgiving Night, MMR is following in this tradition in broadcasting this holiday series from 1937 in a salute to the storytelling roots of the Bardic Tradition of which Filk and Gamer Music is a part.

Heard on Mind Mix in the Evening with Cyrellys on 11-23-2017 we shared episodes 1 & 2 of The Cinnamon Bear.  More to follow in the subsequent shows of Mind Mix in the Evening.

Mind Mix in the Evening with Cyrellys airs live every Tuesday and Thursday, discussing the paradigm of our day with news and commentary.  Occasional guest appearance of Quintus Dias, Manticore Group resident research leader and others.

Saturday concert, new video series, and interesting rumours!

Hello everyone: Summer is finally starting, and I couldn't be happier about the warmer weather. It's time for outdoor festivals, new projects and big plans! Without further ado:

Saturday concert I'm delighted to return to the Brantford Pagan Meet & Greet Festival for their 10th anniversary this Saturday! Come on down & spend a sunny day with your old friends. Everyone is welcome. Festival doors open at 10am. And if it rains – that’s OK too, since the concert will be held indoors :) WHEN: Saturday, 03 June 2017, 3pm WHERE: Mohawk Park, 51 Lynnwood Drive, Brantford, Ontario, Canada HOW MUCH: Free!

American Sign Language Video Series Right now, I'm in the midst of filming a unique and really exciting "triple storytelling" video project:  I'm collaborating with five Deaf actors on a series of 25 music videos.  As a Hearing person, I usually only get to experience American Sign Language (ASL) when someone is using it to directly translate English... but it's actually a very different language when spoken by lifelong Deaf people.  Thurga, Lisa, Mana, Sage, and Tamyka are all Deaf storytellers; they're not translating my poetry, but instead telling the same story their own way.  So really, each "triple storytelling" video will concurrently feature: 1) written English (my lyrics appearing on screen), 2) sung English (my song recording), and 3) the story retold in American Sign Language (ASL).  I'm loving this project!!  I'm learning so much about the vibrant culture of Deaf people, and making some amazing new friends in the process.  I'll be releasing the series this summer. :)

Rumours! Just in case you thought I haven't been up to much lately, I thought I'd share a couple of the big things we're working on here at Amphis Music: - a big Canadian tour, tentatively called "Celtic Spark", for November and December (if you're interested in helping out, or know someone at a theatre or church or hall that might like to book the show, please email ben@heatherdale.com) - a new album of all-original songs! I have so many great ideas swirling around that are just waiting to come out...

Thanks and see you soon! Cheers, H :)
