I 'found' Tim and his Foxes and Fossils group through the consideration of F&F Fan Jim Kimbrel. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Jim and Tim's music for hours of restorative listening so sorely needed in this time of fear and bleakness and loss. I can now add northern spirit radio to that list for adding to that. Thank you for adding to my knowledge and appreciation for this group. I believe in the spirit of this family, this group as a force for good in a time when it is so sorely needed. I hope and pray for their continued success in what I perceive as being not only a business but a calling. Thank you.
i heard your program on WDRT this morning, 17 january, am pleased to find you in eau claire and that we share a common perspective.
i am fourth generation white settler farmer's daughter in a german american lutheran commiunity in sauk county , baraboo river watershed. if you have read the New Yorker article of last fall, "the Last Stand" by Dan Kauffman, you know part of my story, as randy brenda and i were classmates, randy's long suffering parents stood up in my parents' wedding. more of my history and context can be found on youtube, look for the Black Lives Matter rally in reedsburg last summer, watch the out of control racists and the enabling christians. Candace is my first cousin, she was raised in the missouri synod sect of the lutheran church; i remember her father in our kitchen condemning us to hell, Mother having married into the American Lutheran Church.
i also grew up six miles away from the late John Kinsman, of Family Farm Defenders fame, but i did not know him or his people as a child, as they were catholic , in another school district and not in 4H. in the 90's i returned from the peace corps , looking for radical farmers. i found John, AARMPA , scenic central coop NFFC and later La Via Campesina in the basement of the motherhouse of dominican sisters sinsinawa. i "crashed" the annual meeting of the Churches Center for Land and People , was asked to stay the night for my first FFD annual meeting and stayed active and organizing for the next several years. i went to seattle, came home with clear directions from la Via and the Indigenous Environmental movement and others attending workshops presentations and meetings going on amidst the chaos. i have a collection of paper ephemera from those days, a lot from seattle (people were publishing during the week), as well as a collection of what we were producing in the church movement at the time.
perhaps someone is interested in what i have here.
i would have given you a five star review had Dr. Hunt mentioned that the chinese government owns a quarter of US hog production (smithfield/WH) and will be feeding its wealthy elite at the expense of US midwest water soil community. and now with vilsack and the dairy export council in charge, and the growing desire for dairy being cultivated in asia, wisconsin will be the dairy cafo for china soon too.
I really enjoyed Mark's interview with Jeffrey Dallet dated 25 December 2020. Jeffrey is an insightful, revealing and talented performer. Talk about angst revisited. Mark is keen with his great radio voice and style. Thanks!!
Susan, I simply love your voice! Oh, and please say 'Hello' to Flip for me too. Tell him I said, "Tight Lines". BTW, I have a sister by the same name as yours who lives in St Augustine. She and her husband Dick Oyer live there together. I had no idea that you penned this beautiful song!
I am looking forward to hearing more of your beautiful music.
I am grateful to hear Dr. Selika Ducksworth-Lawton this morning; i had the privilege of hearing her speak in Viroqua/vernon county a few years ago and i have been longing for further discussion.
I will certainly tune in next week , but please make it possible for Professor DL to host a regular program, with guests from within the region. Reggie Jackson participated in a Viroqua city hosted event after the murder of George Floyd, he also has given at least one talk in nearby LaCrosse, sunset city. They would make an excellent program.
I really can't thank Mark enough for having me on his program. I truly enjoyed our conversation, and I hope other listeners can find something to resonate with in this episode.
It's a rare treat to get to dive so deep into writing, music, and spirituality on a radio program interview.
Thank you!A distant music connection from the late '70s brought Mark Helpsmeet and Song of the Soul into my life. Thanks to Mark's persistence, we were able to finally connect over the airwaves. I'm grateful for that! This program gathers together bits and pieces of my life, touching on those early days and including more recent years. In choosing these songs, I made sure that their personal messages remain authentic for me, in some way, even as the years might change the way I navigate through life. No matter what, I keep on writing songs. Thank you for being a listener!

All the over the world, music touches the soul! Thank you Mark for speaking with Seize Fire!
Such good times with Seize Fire in Ghana. I want everyone to hear his message.
