In Search of the Vernacular

Backroads Buildings

Sometimes you have to burn a bridge or two to make sure you don't accidentally re-visit the dark side. I can't think of a better way than to describe the gods and monsters I encountered during my career in the entertainment industry. I don't know if egos will allow some people to recognize themselves, but that's okay, my therapist says it's good for me. This is book one, it scratches the surface, it's short, definitely not sweet. I will eventually delve deeper, back to the days Harvey Weinstein famously used as his excuse for being the pig that he is. I'm working on it, I'll get there.I started my career on the tail end of the 70's, there was no internet, no social media, no women in positions of power. Lucky for me I had a guardian angel who did his best to keep me from seeing the underbelly, but I was curious and resourceful, I wanted to be a fly on the wall, ugh, somethings you just can't un-see!

Cogs in the Music Industrial Machine: Book One

The American farmhouse represents integrity, ingenuity, self-reliance, and agricultural heritage. Today, the farmhouse is a rare survivor from another era that can be found sensitively reinterpreted by artists, carefully preserved by original owners, or functionally maintained by farm-to-table artisanal food producers. In more than 200 stunning images, Steve Gross and Sue Daley have painstakingly photographed 20 of the most beautifully preserved farmhouses in the northeast. Some are working farmhouses that have been passed down in families for generations; some have been made productive again by a whole new generation of organic farmers. Still others have been rescued from neglect and restored to their former splendor. Each house is accompanied by an overview of the farmhouse owner and how he or she maintains the property. Fans of the farm-to-table movement as well as historic architecture and preservation will find this an intriguing and beautiful read. Praise for Farmhouse Revival: “Those interested in a homey, country style of decorating or in home restoration will be inspired.†? —Library Journal “Above all, the greatest joy is just looking at the beautiful time-worn places and appreciating the way those that came before led a happy and fulfilling life of simplicity and utility within their walls. For once you have read this book, you will realize that in many ways, it is the farmhouse that helps to restore us, and not the other way around.†? —Preservation.com Â “Buy the book Farmhouse Revival for the photos—for inspiration . . . the authors clearly know architecture and antiques.†? —Dan’s Papers Â “Perusing Farmhouse Revival is a marvelous experience . . . and is sure to make readers wonder what stories the farmhouses in their towns could tell.†? —Cleveland Plain Dealer Â
