"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

Doug Pahl is a singer/songwriter from Madison --- His material ranges from the lighter subject matter of love, and seasons, to obscure discussions of despondency, loneliness, and infirmity. Set to a backdrop of savory acoustic guitar compositions, sometimes rhythmically strummed, others carefully plucked, each piece takes on a life of its own. You can listen to two tracks which are slated to be on his new album (if he ever finishes it) at www.myspace.com/dougpahl

Madison-based Hammers of the Gods (Rob Ely, Dave Foss) are a hammered dulcimer duo who play Celtic and American music. This is their first and possibly last gig, since Rob is moving to Idaho. Once-in-a-lifetime experience!
