Podcast appearances and mentions of archie fisher

When I was a kid, Halloween was my favorite holiday, except for my birthday and Christmas. It was the day when my friends and I could freely wander the neighborhood playing pranks that seem tame today. We soaped car windows, threw toilet paper, rang door bells and threw dried corn. This week on the program we'll hear some of my favorite music which reminds me of those late October nights full of tom foolery. We'll hear Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Archie Fisher, Dave Fry and many more. So turn down the lights, light a candle or two and enjoy Halloween this week … on the Sing Out!

Practiced, sung and recorded through the winter solstice, new moon and now the edge of Christmas, as the Virgin Mary swells with child and comes to the eve of birth, I offer into this moment of celestial light and earthly dark a faithful rendition of the old Scottish borderland folk ballad Tam Lin (Child Ballad 39), accompanied and mixed by my brother Simon Linsteadt on guitar. You can read a full essay about our version of this song, it's musical history (with nods to Scottish folk singer Archie Fisher, as well as Frances Child himself) and reflections on the story itself(with a synopsis too, don't worry!) here: https://sylviavlinsteadt.substack.com/p/tam-lin#details ABOUT THE PODCAST: Welcome to Kalliope's Sanctum, a story podcast hosted by writer Sylvia V. Linsteadt. This podcast is dedicated to Kalliope, primordial and first Muse of epic poetry and ecstatic song in ancient Greece. This podcast is a place of sanctuary for her oldest stories. It is a return to the wild garden, to the spring, to the ground of being & the source of inspiration in the Earth. Here, we honor Kalliope as Muse of Earth. Here, you will find some of the stories beneath the stories of Old Europe: short fictional/poetic pieces written and read by Sylvia that explore elements of indigenous Old European mythology, with a focus on pre-Hellenic (pre-Patriarchal) Greece. Come sit with us in the honeyed light, among the ripe pomegranates, in Kalliope's sanctuary, where the stories that arise directly from the ground of being and lifeforce can still be safely told and celebrated. Come lean against the sun-warmed stones, with the fragrance of propolis & myrrh in the air, and the trees heavy with autumn quince. This is the garden before the fall, a sanctuary for all hearts in this time. Join us, and be revived. ABOUT SYLVIA V. LINSTEADT: Sylvia V. Linsteadt is a novelist, poet, scholar of ancient history, myth and ecology, and artist. She divides her time between California & Crete, where she is currently working on a novel set in Minoan times. Her published fiction includes the forthcoming collection, The Venus Year, the middle grade children's duology The Stargold Chronicles— The Wild Folk (Usborne, June 2018) and The Wild Folk Rising (Usborne, May 2019)— Our Lady of the Dark Country, a collection of short stories (January 2018) and Tatterdemalion (Unbound, Spring 2017); her works of nonfiction include The Wonderments of the East Bay (Heyday 2014), and Lost Worlds of the San Francisco Bay Area (Heyday, Spring 2017).

As a native New Englander, Ric has spent nearly half his life as an acoustic musician, visual artist, and educator. Since attending the first Cape Cod Songwriters Retreat in January of 2014 and finding a loyal community of peers, his music pursuits have led to recognition as a finalist in two national performing songwriter competitions (2017) and the 2018 CT Folk Festival audition concert (2018). Among his most noteworthy features are the Club Passim Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, and Woodstock Tribute Nights, Club Passim 2018 Memorial Day Campfire Festival, The Spire Center of Performing Arts opening for Ray Wylie Hubbard, South Shore Folk Music Club opening for Susan Cattaneo, Amazing Things Arts Center opening for Archie Fisher, the Rose Garden Coffeehouse opening for Abbie Gardner, and Off The Common Coffeehouse opening for The Boxcar Lilies, Soule Homestead opening for The LIed To's, and Titicut Green Coffeehouse opening for Daring Angels (Kathy Phipps and Wendy Sobel). He's also actively performing throughout southeastern New England at markets, galleries, eateries, wine bars, and coffeehouses. Ric uses music as navigation, discovery, and anchoring. His songs, while personal, feel intuitively familiar. The listener is guided by an ease that is steady and supportive as a mast. Whether performing solo or in collaboration, Ric's playing style gravitates toward unique voicings, percussive frailing, and meticulous fingerpicking patterns that honor his influences – early folk & blues, singer-songwriters of the 80s and 90s, and traditional Celtic and British fingerstyle players.In late 2016, Ric joined a long-time friend, touring sound engineer Brian Evans, to record his debut CD titled Take It All In which includes eight original songs and one by another friend and collaborator Joe L'Esperance. The CD features violinist Katy Boc of Sparrow Blue, singer/instrumentalist Raianne Richards, drummer Jeff Armstrong, and San Antonio guitarist Bob Charles. The mostly-acoustic songs explore themes from throughout Ric's life, but primarily from 2007 to 2017 when his most significant personal growth would happen. Milestones like the passing of his parents, birth of his daughter, diagnosis and treatment for cancer, loss of a long-held career position in the arts, and the disillusionment of a close personal relationship would plunge him into a deep well of reflection. The results of his inner 'smithing' would be this collection of songs that pay gratitude to his mentors (Take It All In, Open Book), assure those lost in doubt (See What The Morning Brings), recognize losses (Little Wren, Thieves on the Shore, Changing Tide), honor partners and healers (Soldier's Armory), and reveal the quiet hope that lives behind our challenges (Morning Drive). When not playing music, Ric remains active in the visual arts, teaching illustration at Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston and designing identities for the Cape Cod Songwriters' Retreat, the New Haven Folk Consortium, and the Americana band Sparrow Blue; illustrated promos for Monica Rizzio and the Vinegrass Music Festival; concert posters for the Rose Garden Coffeehouse; and CD packaging for a number of releases including Andy & Judy's 'Reflections', and David Roth's 'Think Twice', 'Practice Makes Progress', 'So Far So Good', and 'Last Day On This Earth'.
