Dear friends, Welcome to my world! It's a world that keeps changing and my own path through it is constantly evolving. I'm in my glorious sixties now -- wonderful age to be. I'm still songwriting and performing, but teaching and presentations are taking more of my time. In my home town of Belllingham I now direct two women's choirs. The BellinghamThreshold Choir sings at the bedside of those struggling to live or die (see the national web site to learn more about them - thresholdchoir.org) , and Women in Song gathers to sing all kinds of songs --no talent required! I'm also regularly teaching classes based on the Artist's Way series -- exploring the connection between creativity and art. I'm in training to be a Hospice volunteer, and am developing a community ministry, now that I am an ordained minister. And then there's the musical, Recipe for Justice, that premiered on Mother's Day, created with Susan Butruille. Great fun! I tells the story of the fight for Suffrage in Washington State and nationally. So life is full and interesting. I'm not on the road as much, but am usually willing to be enticed to far-off places now and then. My community is far-flung, and I like to keep in touch. In these pages you can hear selections from my CDs and order them, read descriptions of workshops and classes, and see where I'm performing/presenting/preaching/teaching. You'll find old newsletters -- you can sign up to receive these when I send them every few months. They include song bits, recipes, poems --and what I'm up to. Thanks for coming to visit. You keep me doing what I do, and I am very grateful. Here's a blessing: May our hands do the work we were sent here to do May our ears know the truth from the lies May our voices speak for justice, may we walk unafraid, May we see through compassionate eyes With love, Lindan |

Linda
sings the songs
that tell of the lives and the work, the hopes and the dreams of people
everywhere. Her interest in songwriting has grown out of her love for
traditional music as well as her interest in our collective history.
She has a talent for reaching into the ordinary to find the profound,
setting it to music and singing it home.
