I'm referring to this as my pandemic project, as several songs were recovered from some hiding places (desk, closet, crawl space storage...) and I rewrote and reworked them. I am very happy with the way they have turned out! </p>
<p>A few live gigs happening starting in two weeks, and continuing through summer. Woo hoo!! Check out my calendar starting with The Ritz Theatre, in Tiffin, Ohio, on March 25. And on into May, June and July.</p>

The song is about a young boy named Peter, who I met over 20 years ago. At the age of three, he fell in a pond and suffered a near drowning. When I met him at the age of 12, he told me how much he enjoyed my music, not with words but with smiles and body language. His father told me the details of the event that changed all their lives, and I wrote the song Forever Child. As our pastor Karen Oehl said in her sermon on Palm Sunday, what often seems like the end of the road is not the end. There is more to the story. And that is true, as Peter is now 37, thriving under his parents' care. .</p>Sarah Goslee Reedtag:sarahgosleereed.com,2005:Post/65921202021-04-02T12:05:47-04:002024-02-04T00:53:21-05:00Happy April!<p><a contents="My Spring concert" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HthtvnVJr5c">My Spring concert</a> on March 20 was loads of fun and I had lots of wonderful listeners on Facebook and YouTube! I am in a songwriting class with Jon Vezner, and one of the songs in the show, The Healing, is one that Jon and fellow classmates gave helped me with. Here is what he had to say about my show:</p>
<ul> <li>"I'm about half way through your show. I knew you were good but I'm really blown away. Songs, performance, sound, video all really good. Makes me proud to have a chance to work with you" - Jon Vezner</li>
</ul>
<p>I also received a beautiful hand-written note in the mail from a good friend. Her words mean so much to me, and I will save her note forever!</p>
<ul> <li>"I did not anticipate how deeply moved I would be by your presence and the music and words to your songs. Each one had something that touched the core of who I am - and the journey I am on - I felt validated and uplifted and inspired by the evening spent with you. Thank you for the lovely gift of music, positivity, and depth of human experience, shared and affirmed. I am so honored to have you as a friend." - Fran</li>
</ul>
<p>The concert was expertly recorded by my good friend <a contents="Skip Trask" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.interfaceaudio.com">Skip Trask</a> - his audio is always superb, and the video work with three cameras is amazing!!

We are waking up from not only winter, but from a very long and frightening pandemic year. My husband and I have had our two vaccines and are feeling good and full of hope!</p>
<p>I am celebrating with a video house concert on March 20 - the first day of Spring - it will be live on <a contents="Facebook" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/894007701143783">Facebook</a> as well as on <a contents="YouTube&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYo2sumNvEI">YouTube</a> - showtime is 7:30 pm and I hope you can come!</p>
<p>April 17 is another virtual day of music through the Children's Music Network. It is called the Kids Music Mashup and includes many fantastic performers of music for kids and families. From noon - 5 that day, the Mashup is a fundraiser for the Children's Music Network (CMN) - for more information visit their <a contents="webpage" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.childrensmusic.org">webpage</a>.</p>
<p>So far there are still no live concerts for me yet this year, although that could change as the year progresses.

I broke my wrist and had surgery 8 weeks ago and am able to play again - this makes me very happy!! All the concerts that would have been had been canceled and so I guess it's an ok time to be laid up. </p>

<p>The American Story by Christopher Flannery is now live - some of the background music (violin and guitar) was done by Alayne Wegner and myself. The stories are inspiring and thought-provoking - Christopher Flannery's voice is a delight to listen to!</p>
<p>Hilltown Family Variety Show has featured two of my songs on their weekly podcasts. The music is fun and folky (but not always) and perfect for all ages -= particularly good for families to gather around and listen to.

<p>I have been working on providing some of the music for a podcast of American Stories. My friend and fellow musician, Alayne Wegner, and I are recording some traditional American folk songs on guitar and violin, so violin duets of hymns, and some original music to be used in these podcasts which are written and performed by Christopher Flannery, at the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University. We are hoping these will be ready for the July 4th holiday!</p>

This historic gem was built in 1853 and has been restored to the 1880's look. The main hall seats almost 500 people, and there are two smaller theaters in the adjacent building (the annex) that each seat 125-150 - one is a black box and will host our new Living Room Series. The various facilities can be rented for weddings, parties and business functions. Be sure to visit their <a data-imported="1" href="http://thewoodward.org">website.</a></p>

<p>The Heritage Singers are an a capella group directed by Marty and Joe Bell. We perform a variety of songs - from hymns to pop and in between. Recently, Cliff Davis, a composer and arranger in the group, arranged my song "Feed the Right Wolf" for us to sing. It comes on as soon as my website starts up (you are probably hearing it now). Such a treat to hear my song in this new version! We are performing in the Quarry Chapel, a Civil War era building in Gambier, Ohio - what fabulous acoustics! Watch the calendar for our next concert some time in December.</p>

<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal"><strong>And Owl Creek Shall Be Their Name</strong></p>
<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal"><strong>Mount Vernon – </strong>A few months ago, a group of musician/songwriters got together, playing their own songs for each other, and started exploring and developing the material using each other’s talents. In order to share these songs they started a once a month, casual, coffeehouse at ThePlace@TheWoodward (111 S. Main Street in downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio) held on the last Saturday from 7 to 9 PM.</p>
<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal">The group has a wide range of musical backgrounds from delta blues to blue grass, folk to rock, country to jazz and have all recorded individually and in various combinations of musicians and in multiple settings. What they bring to the area is a new hybrid of music, not any of the above mentioned styles but something, well, different.</p>
<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal">Sarah Goslee Reed, Alison Cline, Noah Shull, Biller Miller, Skip Trask, Mike Petee are the musicians and writers and they invite you to join them on the last Saturday of each month. There is no cost, although donations are accepted and they provide coffee, tea and goodies as well.</p>
<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal">The group in various combinations have been casually going through their songs and performing for a few months now and finally decided they should actually call the gathering by a name shorter than all the musicians names, so after going through an amazing number of names that none agreed on, the name used by white settlers for this area, OWL CREEK, was recently chosen for this new musical congregation in Knox County.</p>
<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal">So for those who are the seeking an evening that is different from the bar scene or movies or just plain staying home, is family and ear friendly, and a refreshing way to kick back after those long week at work, join OWL CREEK and relax.</p>
<p class="yiv5693094769msonormal">For more information about OWL CREEK and The Last Saturday Café, visit www.VisitKnoxOhio.org or call 740-392-3018 and thank you to the Ohio Humanities Council and Ariel Foundation for helping to get this idea off the ground.</p>

<p>My new CD, plenty, has arrived in several boxes. I have moved them to the kitchen from the garage and am filling orders now. It will be on CD Baby, iTunes, etc soon but for the moment is available only through the mail. Send me an email and I will get one to you. Here is the scoop:</p>
<p>plenty ~ the 2012 new CD from Sarah Goslee Reed ~ These songs could be called my take on our economic times, but more importantly address the differences between needs and wants that confuse us and throw our lives into chaos. One of these songs, “All Living Things”, was written by a group of first graders - such wisdom and sensibility in their words! Another is about the planting of some 7,000 trees in a local arboretum. What could be better than to plant a tree? </p>
<p><br>But the song that is most special is one I wrote in response to the loss of a dear friend’s grandson. Dedicated to Wesley Garrett and his loving family, a portion of each sale goes to the Wesley Garrett Memorial Fund at Black River Middle School in Sullivan, Ohio to support children’s mental health programs. There was an emptiness in Wes that no one knew was there until it was too late to fill it. May the song “The Hole in His Heart”, as well as another called “The Piano”, remind us to get close to each other, to talk, to love, to distinguish wants from needs, and to recognize the plenty that we all have. <br> </p>
<p> Thank you for ordering this CD ~ please remit $20 plus $1.50 S/H to<br> Sarah Goslee Reed, 1102 New Gambier Rd., Mount Vernon, OH 43050<br><br></p>

First, a CD from the mid 90's, <strong><em>Cowboy on the Highway</em></strong>, is now available at CD Baby, as well as two singles. Here is what Jack has to say about this CD: </p>
<pre style="text-align: left;"><em>"After listening to your music, I feel I can call you by your first name.
You have a way of relating to your audience such that you become
part of our circle of friends. Today I was rummaging through
the used CDs at our local Goodwill and bought 8 or 10 in hopes of
finding a few winners. Usually I find 1 or 2 classical Cds, a few vocals
or instrumentals I enjoy among mostly junk. What I found today was
"Cowboy On The Highway". It was a jewel among my purchases
and the only one I played all the way through, repeatedly
You can bet it won't find it's way back to Goodwill! It's going on my
mp3 player and CPU hard drive. Thank you for sharing your talent.
The next CD of yours I get, and there will be a next one,
will come from a music store or on line</em>."
</pre>
<p> </p>
<p>The singles are <em><strong>Mystery</strong></em>, a song about a beautiful hand made oak table that has been in our family for 40 years. This table now sits in my kitchen, yet no one in the family knows much about the making of it or other similar furniture that came to us when my dad bought a cottage in the woods years ago. There is no one to ask...hence the speculation and the mystery.....</p>
<p>The second single is called <em><strong>The Circle of Hands</strong></em> and is about two families joining together as a couple is married. Written for the occasion of my daughter's marriage, this song is non-specific as far as names go, so it can be used for any ceremony where two people join hands and therefore join families. The circle of hands surrounds them and holds them close as their journey begins. </p>Sarah Goslee Reedtag:sarahgosleereed.com,2005:Post/60347252010-07-04T20:00:00-04:002011-07-01T07:53:23-04:00New Blog

<p>Pleasant Street Elementary School students spent the past several months working on a song writing project with me as an artist-in-residence. Working with students during their music class, music teacher Laura Ackert's students were encouraged to brainstorm ideas for song titles. Formerly the music teacher at Dan Emmett Elementary, Laura said "last year my students and I worked with Sarah writing songs about science. The project was so much fun and so successful that I was really eager to work with Sarah again. I wanted to try and recreate the experience with my new students." Incorporating the state standards in Language Arts, students made lists of potential song titles. From the chosen song titles, the students shaped the story of the songs and created a chorus while Laura and I took notes on big rolls of paper which could be rolled up and brought back out for further use when fine tuning the writing. I said, "This beats using the chalkboard and frantically copying and erasing before the next group comes in!" The original tunes seemed to emerge from the words the children wrote, as did the stories. Many of the ideas were related to life at school and "School Rocks!" became the title of the project.
The fifth grade wrote the song "What's This Doing Here?' about their messy desks, lockers and backpacks while the second grade generated a clever song called "Antonym Land", bringing to life knowledge they have gained this year about synonyms and antonyms. "The Mysterious Case of the Missing Homework" is a story the third grade wrote about "Detective Sherlock Homework" leading the search for a missing assignment. The Kindergarten classes wrote a new version of the ABC song using words that start with each letter of the alphabet. Two other songs take place after the school is closed for the night following a story line similar to the movie "A Night at the Museum." "After Hours", the song the fourth grade wrote, imagines the equipment and supplies in the music room, art room and gym coming to life at night after the kids go home and the first grade's song imagines their favorite story book characters coming to life in "The Library."
Every student in the school was involved in the writing, learning and recording of the album. Fifth grade students Fredi Bockover, Jenna Williams and Jacob Grimes designed the covers and label for the CDs. Several songs feature percussion instruments played by students and 4th grade teacher, Jim Thayer, added percussion on "After Hours." Principal Karen Boylan can even be heard on one of the songs. "School Rocks!" is available for $5 through me by emailing me or through Brian Ackert's website listed on my links page (web.mac.com/backert/music) It is also available at Paragraph's Book Store on South Main St. in Mount Vernon, Ohio.</p>

<p>Songwriting at Dan Emmett Elementary
A very exciting songwriting adventure is taking place at Dan Emmett Elementary School in Mount Vernon, Ohio. I am working with the music teacher, Laura Ackert, and we are writing a song with each grade level. The students brainstormed ideas; Laura and I studied them, and we noticed there were many about animals, nature, the environment, etc. This seemed like a great theme to pursue, and the topics that they had chosen all relate to something that each grade learns in science!! Wow!
The songs range from what kinds of animals live in Ohio to the life cycles of a tree and a duck-billed platypus. There is a great song about the chemistry of water called “It’s Messy at the Melting Point”, a song about Gravity and one about “The Three New R’s” as in Reduce, Recycle and Reuse, as opposed to “reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic”.
Once the students learn the songs, we will record them onto a CD. There is a contest going on now for the cover design, and when it is completely finished, we will celebrate with a school concert and have each grade sing their composition. CDs will be for sale for $5 each, and a portion of the sales benefits the school. Great fundraiser!!</p>

<p>As far as the Christmas Cards from Dad show goes....this would work well with kids and families...we would sing some songs and then design a special card. A card is like a song - it needs to tell a story and it should include something of "you" in it. Thus, everyone attending would bring a special item to incorporate into the card - other supplies will be included by the artist (that would be me!) Suggestions to bring are: pictures, drawings, ribbon, yarn, small trinkets, etc. Be creative!!!</p>

<p>My new show is popular at this time of year as we move in to holiday mode. Think about friends you want to keep in touch with, and celebrate that feeling with songs and stories of my dad's Christmas card making. You will see the old black and white photographic cards he used to make without the use of Photo Shop! It is full of stories, heartwarming songs, and inspiration and will create a holiday feeling.</p>

<p>In celebration of Earth Day, here are the lyrics to Earthsong, written by 2nd and 3rd graders for the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. I think Earth Day gets more important every year!!
EARTHSONG by Sarah Goslee Reed and Jo Portzline's 1990 class at East School,
Mount Vernon, Ohio
Let's go fishin' where it's clean;
We can walk along beside the stream.
When we get tired, we'll ride a horse.
Or we might take our bikes of course.
Let the insects protect the plants:
We don't need pesticides to kill the ants.
We like those spiders and ladybugs
Even though it's hard to give them hugs.
CHORUS:
Oh give me bees (bees, bees) in flowers and trees (trees, trees)
A mountain stream (stream, stream) bubbling clean (clean, clean)
There will be no zone without the ozone
We've got to keep the earth healthy.
When we are walkin' we pick up cans;
When we get home we wash our hands.
And on our bikes though it makes us pant,
We take them all to the recycling plant.
When we play outside we like the air
To be squeaky clean, not merely fair.
We want those songbirds up in the sky
To have a peaceful place to fly.
CHORUS:
Oh give me bees (bees, bees) in flowers and trees (trees, trees)
A mountain stream (stream, stream) bubbling clean (clean, clean)
There will be no zone without the ozone
We've got to keep the earth healthy.
Stories we read and write because it's fun.
We illustrate them, too, and when we're done,
We use the front and back of every piece,
So we don't waste paper, so we don't waste trees.
Each tree is special, no creature's too small.
To keep our earth green we need them all.
The plants need animals, animals need plants,
For we are all earth's inhabitants.
CHORUS:
Oh give me bees (bees, bees) in flowers and trees (trees, trees)
A mountain stream (stream, stream) bubbling clean (clean, clean)
There will be no zone without the ozone
We've got to keep the earth healthy.</p>
