While curating the Sandy and Peter Loose Mountain Dulcimer Collection at the Lyndon House, I picked up a dulcimer and started to play. It wasn't long before my first dulcimer song "Treasure and Trouble" became the theme music for Inspired by Athens. The series profiles local creatives in the Classic City, hosted by award-winning reporter Emma Auer and broadcast by WUGA 91.7 FM (Northeast Georgia's local NPR station based out of the University of Georgia). Abby Kacen was Artist-in-Residence at LHAC during that time. I had the pleasure of intersecting with her via Emma Auer and graphic novelist Kalie Boyne.

It was beyond exhibitionism or narcissism,
it was more like a state of induced hypnosis, or of meditation
she said.
This Valentine's Day at Ciné, before you dreamrock, come with Dreamlily back to 1934
when Charis Wilson first posed for Edward Weston.
Dreamlily presents the Eloquent Nude Exposition. This includes a rare screening of the 2007 documentary film Eloquent Nude: The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson. Audience Q & A follows, with Lamar Dodd School of Art Models Chipper Bixby and Lily Herne, along with her long time photographer and bandmate Hal York. This Exposition deals with partnerships that create the Love we call Art: the lens and the lady, the artist and the model, the silence and the song. The evening culminates with Dreamlily Live in Concert. Hear songs composed in Lily's psyche while her body was still in countless hours of silent posing.

It was the only time I've ever been drawn from so many different levels, angles, and perspectives at once. The effect, for me, was centrifugal. I felt myself drawn into into their version of my gesture, their take on my mood, their revelation of my energy.
The artists did not realize that they had become muses to the muse.
That's how this song happened.

Sometimes I want to crawl inside the inside of forever
where you and I are not ephemeral as the weather.

…dreams are halfway in this world…dreams are halfway locked outside….
of you and me
and where we want to be
