HOWARD MANSFIELD signing and discussing TURN
AND JUMP\: HOW TIME AND PLACE FELL APART . In the days before “Standard
Time” towns kept their own time pegged to the sun. With the rise of the
railroads time needed to be synchronized to make scheduling possible and the
hour no longer reflected the exact position of the sun overhead. In a series of
essays Howard examines what time has meant to us in New England\, from the days
of continuous vaudeville\, to Swanzey’s famous “Old Homestead” play that
depicted chores “measured by the task\, not by the hour”\, to the long years of
Derby’s department store in Peterborough.
The Red River is a group of eight men and women from the West Coast. They will perform music from their CD\, Little Songs About the Big Picture. With both acoustic and electronic instruments\, and vocals with harmonies\, their sound has been described as warm\, light\, and intimate.
The Riverfront Times of St. Louis says\: "\;Why this band isn't huge yet is beyond me. The Portland-via-Long Beach\, California band's album\, Little Songs About the Big Picture\, is full of small joys\: rhythms pitter-pattering like a heartbeat\, stately chamber-music arrangements\, drive-by synthpop flashes\, sincere harmonies. This is a fall album\, suitable for playing while you huddle under a blanket for warmth. Fans of Lost in the Trees\, Azure Ray and Luna will find much to like."\;
