a Collaborative Adventure through music! Part 1

This is a story of how a bunch of separate things blossomed into a collaborative adventure. Ken Bevis first came to my attention when I had a radio show on KTRT 97.5 FM Winthrop, in the Methow valley of northern Washington state. I was interviewing folks for my radio show. I had a conversation with Ken, where we talked and he shared a couple songs, one of which was methow band which at the time wasn’t finished yet, and that is what inspired all of what follows here. I ran across this recording and realized how cool it was to hear a song in the making, particularly since I have heard that song many times now. Ken also Tells of the beginning of his collaboration with Richard Hart who wrote the book lost homeland, about the history of the Methow tribe and how they were forced out of the Methow Valley in the late 1800’s. Ken ended up writing and performing three songs that were woven into Richard's public book launches. So this is the start of the saga, luckily I recorded an interview with Richard Hart and Ken Bevis for my radio show which I will be sharing with you all in the near future so without further ado, I offer this with appreciation for all who contributed, every step of the way. So to set this up, I'm starting with this clip. I recorded with Ken Bevis in 2017.
