"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.

Mother Fool-s will ring with the vintage sounds of -20s and -30s Jazz and Western Swing as Safety Last! takes the stage. Featuring Garreth Paul-s warm and bluesy vocals, the gypsy twang of Chris Ruppenthal-s guitar, Gregorio Montero-s ingenious fiddling, and Mike Steen-s rock-steady bass, the band will transport you to another place and time - one that exists only in the moment.

Where Safety Last! plays, Bob Wills hollers and stomps while Django Reinhardt smirks and sneers through his cigarette-s blue smoke, a flapper-s dance steps are accented by the sound of cowboy boots shuffling across the floor, cotton fields wave in the warm evening breeze off the French Riviera, and you smile and tap your foot to the steady groove of classic swing with a Southern twist.

Safety Last! is a 4-piece acoustic ensemble, performing -Sophisticated Western Swing & Old-School Jazz.-
