CRAFT w/THE BAND "Joe Jack Talcum"
This past weekend I experienced an adolescent dream come true. Joe Jack Talcum, of The Dead Milkmen fame, came to my little shop in the Old North End of Burlington and played his music. The music and the voice that I have been hearing in my head for decades! As an ostracized angst-y arts-y teenager, I found community and friendship through the words and music of Joe Jack Talcum. My 15 yr old self is so damn proud of my 36 yr old self, it is astounding! I cannot believe that as a grown up Mama business owner that I still have the opportunity to play music and act like a "rockstar". With two musically inclined children, I now have the additional pleasure of getting to rock out with my kids and teach them the songs that soothed my teenage soul. What joy!
Super big Thanks to Jarmac, Eva, Rachel, Catherine & Michael for making all this happen.

living your dreams...complete and total awesomeness! Gyllian and Rachel, you are really inspiring me, and ater my visit with Gyllian at The Bobbin I'm re-committing myself to working with recycled materials as much as possible. That's the ethic I started with anyway! I just wish I lived closer to the Bobbin for more frequent visits...
ReplyDeletelove ya, Sarah
Awwhh, Thanks Sarah! We wished you lived closer to The Bobbin too...maybe we can dig a tunnel? Yay for recycling and re-purposing! It's definitely a commitment...but I do believe the word is getting out there and people are beginning to understand the importance of textile recycling vs. virgin fabrics. Hope to visit with you again soon!
