A Podcast for Curious Kids but Why Live: a Musical Celebration June But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids But Why Live: A Musical Celebration June 26, 2020 [Jane] This is But Why: A Broadcast for Curious Kids.” I'm Jane Lindholm. Since the beginning of May, we've had the distinct pleasure of coming together with you here on the radio for a call-in show designed just for kids. We were asked by Vermont's Agency of Education to see if our home station, Vermont Public Radio, could help kids who are suddenly out of school this spring find connection and educational opportunities that didn't necessarily require a strong Internet connection. So we made a slight tweak to our normal every-two-weeks podcast to make a weekly radio show. And it's been so much fun. We've gotten calls from all over the United States and Canada and even over in Europe, and we've been able to talk to some pretty cool people as guests, including the chief scientist at NASA and Vermont's governor for a live kid's press conference. But now most kids, at least in the United States, are out of school for the summer. So it's time for us to wind down these live shows. But before we do, we're going to have one last celebratory program. And it's a musical one. We have invited you to make up a song or play a rhythm or a melody on an instrument that you have at home or maybe even make something out of junk you have lying around or use your own instrument, your voice. And many of you have sent us some great recordings in advance of the show. If you've been waiting to perform your musical creation, live on the radio with us, now is the time. Grab your adult to help you give us a call. Or if you don't feel like sharing your voice or your music or maybe you feel too shy to do that, you can send an email to [email protected]. We have some special guests planned for this hour. And the first one is Mr. Chris. Chris Dorman is a musician and a music educator. And you might know him from the Vermont PBS show, Mr. Chris and Friends. He's also created the Mr. Chris and Friends Family Hour. It's a half hour episode of learning, exploration and fun for the entire family that has been airing Thursdays at six p.m. on Vermont PBS’s Kids Channel. And he also runs a live program in Vermont called Music for Sprouts. Hi, Mr. Chris, nice to talk with you again. [Chris] Hi, Jane. So glad to be here. [Jane] Well, I'm excited to have you here. And I know that you have very strong feelings about the power of music. So since we're doing this sort of musical finale and musical celebration, why do you think celebrating with music or coming together around music is so important and fun and powerful? [Chris] Oh, I do feel that way. And I've seen the power firsthand in sharing songs and listening to songs, you are feeling feelings in real time. And sometimes there's feelings that are hard to put into words, or sometimes it's hard to share them any other way than with a song. So I think that a song or music can be a wonderful way to have a conversation with your friends and your family and your community and to share those deep and big feelings that you're feeling. [Jane] Yeah, I've been using music to help me feel really good, big feelings and to help me feel and express some sad feelings. ‘Cause things have been really different over the last couple of months and kids haven't been in school, our jobs have changed, sometimes it's hard for us to see friends and family that we really care about. And, you know, the news has sometimes been difficult to understand and to try to figure out, you know, what's happening. And so sometimes I put on music and I dance, but sometimes I put on music and I cry. And actually, Chris, I think both of those feel really healthy. [Chris] Oh, I agree. And when you put on music and cry and you dance, your feelings feel very real. And when you do that with other people, you don't feel alone. Sometimes when you're feeling a really big feeling, you can feel like you're the only person in the whole world that could possibly be feeling that feeling. But music is a way that we can remind ourselves that we're not alone. [Jane] Well, in fact, you brought some music with you, not - you're going to play some live music at the end, but some music that you had already made that we can play. And one of the songs that you brought is called “Together on a Day Like This,” and it talks about how we can all be together, right? [Chris] That's right. The story of this song is a real-life memory in real time, watching my own children grow and start to lead their own lives as well as the children that I work with every day. And the feelings in the song are very big for me. There's deep joy, worry, longing and missing the past and just happiness for what's happening right now. [Jane] All wrapped into one. [Chris] Yeah. [Jane] Let's listen to some of it. CHRIS [singing]: A few stars still out, the moon hangs low in the sky. Can't see the sun, yeah. The birds are singin’. And you are dreamin’. And I am waiting for the moment you open your eyes. This is the day, together on a day like this. Feelin’ the love, feelin’ the time, forever on a day like this. This is the day, together on a day like this, feelin’ the love, feelin’ the time, forever on a day like this [Jane] That's a beautiful song, Mr. Chris. [Chris] Thank you, Jane. I really appreciate that compliment and appreciate you sharing it with all the kiddo-kiddos out there. [Jane] Well, let's listen to a question from a kid, because one of the things that came up for me listening to that music again was the, um the - oh, how many different layers there are. There's your voice. There's another voice. There's what we might call percussion, there are other instruments. So let's listen to a question that we got here from Nora. [Nora] I am six years old, I live in Sharon, Vermont, and my question is, does all music have to have instruments? [Jane] So what do you think, Mr. Chris? Does all music have to have instruments? [Chris] Well, I've often heard it say that we are walking, singing instruments, right, that our bodies are instruments. So I would say that all music does not have to have an instrument outside of yourself. And I would even go so far to say that music can be something that you hear inside yourself. So, yes, you could stand and you could sit and you could sing a song with no instruments around. But you can also feel that music inside you. [Jane] Year, and we're going to talk a little bit more with The Junkman in a little while about how to make instruments out of things that you have in your own house or your yard. But as you said, Mr. Chris, you can also, you can use your voice, but you can make rhythms with your body, too. You know, you can sort of tap on your chest or snap your fingers. I mean, there are a lot of ways to make instruments out of your own body. [Chris] Absolutely. And just hearing your rhythm, I feel inspired, too. And I loved that question from Nora and [singing] Nora, Nora, you can explore-a explore-a a song just with your body and the rhythm from Jane. [Jane] How do you do that? How do you make up a song just like that? [Chris] Well, I feel that listening is probably one of the things that I try to do most actively when writing a song. Inspiration is all around. It's an Nora’s question. It's in your rhythm, Jane. It's in the sound of the rooster that I can hear, but maybe you can't hear, on the farm and you can spin all of those beautiful things all around you by listening and feeling how you feel about those things and then try your best to express them in a musical way. [Jane] You know, I don't know if, you know, I mean, there there probably is no official answer to this, but we got a question from Emmy, who is 10 and lives in Chatham, Ontario, who wants to know who invented music. [Chris] Oh, I don't know the answer to that either, but I do know that each one of us experiences music right from the start of our lives. Music is with us from the very beginning. And I believe it's something that's inside of us as well. [Jane] Let's listen to a song. And before we listen to a song, I'm going to remind our young listeners today that we want to hear your questions about music.

  • The First Spiritual Exercises
    INTRODUCING THE FIRST SPIRITUAL EXERCISES WHAT IS AN IGNATIAN SPIRITUAL EXERCISE? n the words of St. Ignatius, a spiritual exercise is “every way of ex- amining one’s conscience, meditating, contemplating, praying vo- Ically, praying mentally and other spiritual activities” (Spiritual Exercises 1). The “other spiritual activities” include exercises for love, freedom, and decision making. Ignatian Spiritual Exercises employ many forms of prayer to engage me through different ways of knowing and feel- ing. Some call upon my imagination and memory, others on my wise and keen intellect, others still on my heartfelt understanding. Most will awaken in me deep feelings, such as love, sorrow, joy, generosity, and inner peace. They all value my life experience, gently opening it, just as they open the life of Jesus. They knit both stories together where they belong, in the one weave of the living kingdom of God. In practice, each spiritual exercise is a holy desire, a sacred seed. The Spirit, working through the exercise, ploughs and turns the earth of my life to make me ready for God. I plant the seed, the Lord grows it in secret, and the Creator brings forth a hundredfold harvest (see Mt 13:24– 30, 36–43). This means a spiritual exercise is a structured way to bring me into relationship with God. Making the Sign of the Cross, bathing a child, using a personal gift for good, helping a vulnerable person, praying the Our Father, or serving in a soup kitchen can all be spiritual exercises; indeed, any exercise of faith, hope, or love that moves me toward God and service of neighbor is a spiritual exercise.

  • Ambassador Robert G. Neumann
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR ROBERT G. NEUMANN Recollections Out Of My Life Written in Kabul, Afghanistan April, 1968 Copyright 2015 ADST INTRODUCTION The reflections and reminiscences which follow are not designed to constitute in anyway a complete autobiography. There appears to be no need for such a work, and it would be presumptuous of me to endeavor anything of the kind. And yet, as I have started into the second century of my life, it seems to me that thus far my life has known considerable drama and has touched in one way or another on a number of interesting events. It has certainly been far from dull. In historic terms it saw its beginning in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, covered deep economic depression and political upheaval including two brief but violent civil wars interspersed with brief periods of imprisonment, and then coming to a violent climax in a much longer period of incarceration and mortal danger. And then, after miraculous deliverance, began the second phase of my life, my emigration to America, with resumption of my studies, marriage and family, but also war and a professional career which eventually elevated the once penniless immigrant boy to the dignity of an ambassador of the United States of America. As these lines are written, their purpose is not clear to me, but because my life has covered so many events and spanned so many varied and different periods and experiences, I felt impelled to record them from memory and to put down some of the thoughts and emotions which passed through my mind as these events took place.

  • Happy Is the Family Who Shows Affection, for They Will Feel Loved. Fo
    For the week of January 24th: Affection Family Beatitude: Happy is the family who shows affection, for they will feel loved. Focus: Giving affection that expresses love Weekly Bible Verse: “ [Mary] gave birth to her first baby. It was a boy. She wrapped him in large strips of cloth. Then she placed him in a manger. That’s because there were no guest room where they could stay.” – Luke 2:7 Devotion: Now I Feel Loved Rebecca climbed onto her parent’s bed and wiggled her way between her daddy and mommy under the fluffy quilt. She hugged her daddy and then hugged her mommy. Then she said, “Now I feel loved!” Hugs and cuddles, and even pats on the back, are signs of affection that help us feel loved. We all want to be loved and know we are lovable. It’s good to be affectionate and show love with positive words and hugs. When Mary gave birth to her son Jesus, she took tender care to wrap Him in warm cloths and gently place Him in a soft bed of sweet-smelling hay. She wanted Him to be warm and cozy. Other signs of affection include hugs, snuggling or cuddling together, parts on the back, and holding hands. Affection can also be shown by acts of kindness and helping one another. Look for ways you each are showing love to each other this week. Be sure to point it out and tell them when you feel loved when they do it. Bible Story Connection: “So [the son] got up and went to his father.

  • 03.07.21 CONNECTIONS Jill Mcnabnay
    Storyline Gathering - 03.07.21 CONNECTIONS Jill McNabnay I love the TV show, The Big Bang Theory, because it’s full of geeky, nerdy, science humor, which I’m all about. But the whole show is really about these four guys who are so brilliant in their jobs, but so dumb in real life. They have no clue how to form relationships with others. And just I’m fascinated by their quest for connection because that’s something I see every day – ALL day - as a high school teacher. Young people may not be aware of it, but from the outside looking in, it doesn’t take long to see that a huge percentage of their life is dedicated to finding, impressing, and keeping their group of friends. This looks different depending on their age, but it is still there all the time. I teach freshmen and seniors, so I see them at the beginning and end of their high school career, and one of the biggest differences between them, besides their maturity level, is that most freshmen don’t know where they belong or how they fit in, so a lot of their time, effort, and mental energy is consumed with trying to figure that out, and at times making pretty clumsy attempts to fit in and impress their classmates. But by the time they’re seniors, kids have settled into their niche, they’ve found a group, club or team where they feel like they belong…the more flamboyant quest for friendship may be over, but the passion connected to connecting with others clearly remains.
