"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.

W. Michael Freer is a national touring acoustic bluesman using \'blues uke\', harmonica and rich baritone vocals to draw us into his music as we become \'one\' with his blues.

Christopher\'s music is modern folk with indie, experimental, and pop-rock undertones. His lyrics come from a place of introspection mostly, as well as angst, intrigue, sarcasm, frustration, love, infatuation, etc.

He started playing drums around age 12, then guitar at 15, piano soon after that, and now on to banjo and ukulele. He got an analog four-track recorder when he was 17 which changed his life forever. He has been writing songs, playing in bands, and recording albums ever since.

Pond was voted a -New and Notable- artist on indie-music.com and was nominated for the annual Top 25 list in 2010 and again in 2011. \"Angels out of Dust\" and \"Buried Alive\" (from \"Color Scheme\" 2009) both ranked on the Top 30 chart on indie-music.com by IAIRA in 2010. He currently finished a new record called The Book of Laments which was released July 2nd, 2011.
