Communal Studies Association Annual (Virtual) Conference Thursday October 1st through Saturday October 3rd. On Saturday at 5pm Eastern an audio recording of a paper I wrote on the subject “How to Portray ‘The Land’ as a Character Via Sound” will be played. It is 25 minutes long. The recording is of me reading the topic, and includes many excerpts from the audio book – “MorningStar a Play as Musical Audio Book.” I will then be on a panel answering questions. You will need to register for the event, as it is a conference. But don’t worry, after the conference I will make this specific recording available for all to hear. Probably on Youtube. I am quite proud of it. And glad to participate. This is a great conference. It was at a previous conference in 2005, when version 1 of “MorningStar” was performed live. That time we were paid though as entertainment. This time I had to register, but I am wearing the scholars cap.

Saturday, September 19th, 2020 – 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on the radio, KOWS, 92.5fm, or streaming from the stations’ website, kowsfm.com
