As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one. Marianne Williamson ach year, we see Spring as a time for renewal. E Whether that tradition comes from the Pagan ob- servance of Beltane, the Jewish observance of Tu B’Shvat, or the Christian observance of Easter, there is threaded though all an inseparable tie that binds us to each other, to nature, and to the earth’s ecology. Renewal means growth, and the Grass is growing – the River of Grass, that is! We have more guests each week who believe they have found their spiritual home among us. We have Faith Develop- ment programs that are growing. In addition to our amazing Children’s and Youth’s Sunday programs, we have kicked off a new 8 week Adult Faith Development program on Wednesday evenings called “What We Choose: Ethics for UUs.” We are growing in the way that we join together in community - our congregational pic- nic was fun and uplifting for the spirit.

  • Crescendo Artists 2805 Wilderness Place Suite 100 Boulder, CO 80301
    Crescendo Artists 2805 Wilderness Place Suite 100 Boulder, CO 80301 P-303-444-0500 x2 [email protected] Joelzoss.com www.crescendoartists.com Joel Zoss [email protected] Joel Zoss has enjoyed a worldwide reputation as a songwriter and guitarist since Bonnie Raitt recorded his "Too Long at the Fair" and "I Gave My Love a Candle.” From 2007-2009 he opened shows for B.B. King and Etta James in theaters across the country. Featuring his own million-selling compositions and folk and blues classics by American masters such as Elizabeth Cotten, Leadbelly, and Big Bill Broonzy, Zoss’s unique fingerpicking style and moving vocals have enter- tained audiences from blues clubs and concert halls to the Philadelphia Folk Festival. He has performed and recorded with many highly regarded artists including David Bromberg, Taj Mahal, James Taylor, Paul Butterfield, and Howlin’ Wolf. Some of his songs, reflecting his years living in North Africa and Spain, are as at home in the “world music” cate- gory as they are in “roots.” Joel works as a solo; duo with upright bass; and as a trio with bass and drums. After cutting his teeth in the 1960’s in Chicago with some of the world’s greatest bluesmen, Joel began his recording ca- reer with Arista in the 1970’s. Check out his latest CD, LILA, produced by legendary guitarist and leader of the landmark group Fanny, June Millington. Joel’s songs have been recorded by artists in genres from blues to bluegrass. In March of 2012, UK diva Katie Melua, who has sold eleven million CD’s in the last decade, released her version of “Too Long at the Fair.” Bonnie Raitt’s version of the song appears in the documentary film Troubadour, released in 2011.
