I'm always game for a good shipwreck story, and this one does not disappoint. It's a story that has been told many times before, but even though more than forty years have passed since it happened, a million questions remain unanswered. _______ SOURCES “The Crew of the Sarah Joe.” Unsolved Mysteries Wiki.

In 1873 a Methodist missionary in New York City heard rumors of a little girl who was kept locked in a tenement and regularly whipped. She uncovered a shocking case of neglect and abuse that made headlines around the world. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell how one girl's ordeal led to a new era in child welfare. We'll also outsource Harry Potter and puzzle over Wayne Gretzky's accomplishments. Intro: By a 1976 resolution, George Washington forever outranks every other officer in the U.S. Army. Humorist Robert Benchley invented some creative excuses for missing deadlines. Sources for our feature on Mary Ellen Wilson: Eric A.

Joe Peters is a natural man. What I mean by that is He spends a lot of time in natural settings, and creates music out of that natural spirit. His latest release "Prophetstown" is no exception. From a lilting, upbeat "Wanderlust Blues", to a personal vignette in "Mother and Her Sons", and the shameful history that inspired the title track, Joe covers the emotional bases. And to do it so well, he works with guitar wizard, studio chief Mike Kelsey. Kelsey is as flexible in the studio as he is crazy good on guitar. Both will be onstage at the beautifully renovated Delphi Opera House in Delphi Indiana on Nov. 3rd for a "Prophetstown" release show, as will a number of other musical friends. Joe spoke to us about the process of creating this one, and where to getcha some. (tickets here)
In this episode, it's a family affair. We spoke to my 11-year old nephew Cecil. But this is no cutesy give-a-kid-a-mic interview. Cecil Mummey is already a serious composer, and has written a musical produced by his school, and acted in a number of productions. He is now working on a musical about Albert Einstein. He'll talk about the process, and his hopes for getting the piece produced in a larger venue. It's a kid's-eye view of the creative process that you'll find refreshing and interesting. The future of the Arts is in good hands. We end the episode with a song co-written by Joe Peters and yours drooly, entitled "A Mother and Her Sons", about my late mother and her relationship to my brother and me. You'll find it on Joe's newest release "Prophetstown" with a collection of musicians and producer Mike Kelsey known as "The Joedai Warriors". Enjoy!
Today is episode #90 and I have invited Daniel Miller back again to continue the discussion of his artistic approaches and creativity with forging. Daniel Miller is a very talented blacksmith from Waynesville North Carolina and today he will read another article he wrote and published in the Anvils Ring, the winter issue of 2009. This article is titled “Sweet Mary and Her Sons in Her Seas.” Daniel grew up in North Carolina and has been working in the world of metal for more than thirty years. He is one of the most respected members of his craft, and well known among the smithing community. His work has appeared at the American Craft Museum in NY, and in gallery exhibitions around the world. We Talked About: How Daniel refines the design of a piece; does he usually draw versions of it first? Regarding the 4 legs of the table, we talk through the process of making the feet and ankles (they are my favorite part). It looks like he split and drifted the area of the core of the body where two bands come through and are upset to stay there. Then he continued the chiseled line of the split down to the feet. How are the feet made to look so realistic, did he practice this technique on mild steel scraps before forging with the wrought iron? We talk about the middle of the table, where the 8 stringer bands come together and how it looks like a puzzle to me. I asked Daniel what he thought of the importance of holding an art degree.
