about

I used to live at a lovely boarding house with 17 chickens, including the much beloved Fluffy. Then a new commission by Craig Meltzner for North Bay Country Dance Society's 25th anniversary. The last tune, co-written with Hollis Easter, commemorates the courageous civil disobedience of Jay O'Hara and Ken Ward who, with their little white lobster boat, the "Henry David T.," blockaded a shipment of 40,000 tons of coal to the Brayton Point coal plant in 2013 (the biggest single source of climate changing emissions in all New England) and helped ignite a successful movement to shut down the plant.
