Cameo Productions - Great Music

Jacqueline Kroschell of Cameo Productions introduces this company of performers. Their big season in our area is the Summer Season. I did not get this into the blog until now because my summer schedule was blown away with Ivan and Dennis repairs down home at the farm in Chumuckla, FL. However - Pay attention and review this as the season comes around again next year. The venue for Cameo Productions is now very close and near I-80. The Voices of Summer appears in the Presbyterian Church in Jefferson, NJ on Berkshire Valley Road. This is superb talent and outstanding entertainment for the family to enjoy. Check their website for information. Remember, they do one of a kind performances for corporations and individuals as well!

Pioneer Fiddle in Sussex County

Several times a year, re-enactors will converge on the old Van Campen Inn, still standing and wecoming travelers as it did in the early years of the colonies. In this clip, Jim Stanko of Hardwick township provides some musical color with the fiddle. He also gives a little history of the music itself. Learn more about the history of the Old Mine Road at NJSkylands.com. Driving along the Old Mine Road along the Delaware River, any time of year, gives a sense of wonder and a sense of place to the traveler.

A Philosophy of the Harte

Dr. Harte is an Ornithologist ... no . wait a minute .. a Dendrochronologist .. no .. no .. a Paleophrenologist : Whatever. When he took the braces off my son's teeth, he launched into a short "take-care-of-your-mouth-speech" and then segued into a fascinating 2 minute philosophy of life. I came back to his office in Sparta a couple of days later and asked him to "do over" because the bumps on my brain overloaded after the first 30 seconds. I put it on tape. Enjoy.
