Rick Spencer and Dawn Indermuehle develop and present a series of theme-based music and history programs. They present songs that give cultural insight into interesting times, places and events in American history.

Although Melville is best-known for his work on maritime subjects ("Typee", "Omoo", "Moby Dick" and others) he is also recognized as one of the earliest of the American Renaissance poets and composed many pieces on the subject of the Civil War. He lived from 1819 to 1891, and would have been familiar with the songs that were most popular in America during his lifetime. He would have known Stephen Foster's songs, Civil War songs and music that was part of the Minstrel age in America.
Wednesday, 8/14/19 at 10:30-11:30 a.m.: Learning from the Masters:
You ARE a Master!
​
We’ll debunk the mystery about mastering art.
Reading from child friendly books,
we will discover that we are all artists
with similar interests, passions and ways to
express ourselves… art is just one tool in our
box and a fantastic one at that!!!
 
Come relax, hear great stories and create YOUR art!
Wednesday, 8/21/19 at 10:30-11:30 a.m.: 
How to Draw ANYTHING!
We will draw from the extensive collection of
“How-to” drawing books, from dogs, to people, to cars, trucks, you name it! We’ll crack the code and be on our way to drawing anything our heart desires!
 
Come prepared to have fun!
