Tim Livengood is a storyteller since way back, learning from vinyl LPs on a record player. He has told stories at festivals in the Mid-Atlantic, in homes, in schools, in parks, in planetariums, and on the summit of an extinct volcano in Hawaii, just to pass the time. Tim is a planetary astronomer by day, although it took him years to realize the irony in that description. Astronomy sometimes finds its way into Tim’s original stories, and other experiences in science can appear here and there. He has a CD, which he would love for you to buy and add to his rich coffers of treasure.
TWO-TIME GRAMMY® Award Winner Cathy Fink is a performer, producer and songwriter specializing in roots music that includes traditional and contemporary folk, old-time country, swing, and children’s music. Along the way she has met some characters - Patsy Montana, the first woman in country music to sell 1 million records; Peter Paul Van Camp, the only performing poet from Coshocton, OH; Art Thieme, King of Folklore & Jokelore in the Midwest and the list goes on. Cathy’s stories trade off between real life people and circumstances, and a new batch of folks who seem real enough to her. She is working on a memoir book of short stories titled, “You Can’t Make This SH—Up”.
