New Stanzas for Amazing Grace

By Allen Ginsberg

I dreamed I dwelled in a homeless place
Where I was lost alone
Folk looked right through me into space
And passed with eyes of stone

The hardest part was getting the ends to stick together. There are many videos online about how to make a Christmas Star with dough. Ours was homemade yeast dough with orange rind & orange juice concentrate. I love how pretty it came out. My first try ever.

Have Guitar, Will Ride…

Here’s my beloved Mukilteo Peat. I was insane to be up on the pony and out of control with that sweet old National, but all’s well that ends well….

Violins!

Tiny violin shop inside of a human-sized violin. And all the little ones are playable!

Bellingham Beatles Sing-Along

Just added a feather to the last Sgt. Pepper hat! Next task—transcribing 32 more of our favorite songs, words, and chords, and formatting all of them so we can all sing along two weeks from yesterday…

Testimonials

Singing is about community, and it's rare that a couple has humor, humbleness, and a real sense of what's important in this world to teach and lead others in song. As they often tell their audiences, "if you know the song, sing along. If you don't, sing anyway."
They embody what they call "living room music." It's not the "show-off" tunes, but the songs that are quiet, sometimes, that make us think about what's important --family, home, getting along, kindness, and giving back. And sometimes the songs are so delightfully wacky that we learn to laugh in a time when life is not always so funny.
Flip and Zeke are jewels in a town that's full of talented musicians. But they make us smile, they make us weep, they make us shout for joy. We see ourselves more clearly though the songs they sing.

Flip, nobody knows better than you: gentleness without precision is ineffective. Precision without gentleness can harm. But if they are properly mixed, healing can happen. I've watched you do this for a long time. And in this way you are my beloved teacher. - Kim Scanlon

"[Fl!p] cares more about telling the truth than most people you're likely to hear, and she does it well; at the same time she's a lot of fun to listen to." - Bob Franke

"Listening to one of Zeke’s songs for the first time is like opening a present from a dear friend — it’s beautifully wrapped, and inside is a delightful surprise, always gentle, clever, wry, and just exactly perfect." - Mark McPherson

"Zeke Hoskin is a very annoying person. His funny songs make you think while you laugh, which is unfashionable. Also, the tunes will stick in your head. Worse, they are better than mine."
