Bill,

It sounds like a lot of fun. Would you be so kind as to fill us in on Nancy
Casey's gardening project? Or did I miss a post along the way?

> Sagin’ Time
>
> Sagin' Time is a five-piece folk/rock band formed in Moscow, Idaho, in
> 1992. The band has produced and released a CD, "Taste of Life Itself."
> The band shares its uniquely upbeat and danceable sound at festivals,
> concerts, and private parties throughout the Pacific Northwest.
>
> Sagin' Time mixes celebration music from around the world to form a
> positive and inclusive sound they call, "Dance-adelic Rainbow Rock."
>
> The band is proud to attract a diverse audience to their performances,
> bringing little children as well as adults to the dance floor. With the
> unusual addition of flute and hand percussion to guitars, keyboards and
> drum set, the result is a rich sound that appeals to people of diverse
> ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
>
> Building on their bouncing beat, the band adds positive lyrical messages
> of harmony and hope. The result is music they call "good for both ends
> of your spine."
>
> Sagin' Time has played at public festivals and outdoor concerts in the
> Inland Northwest region, as well as for private venues like weddings and
> parties. Their multi-generational and multi-cultural music is ideal for
> the stage at any festive event.
>
> Sagin' Time is the band to get the audience dancing and smiling!

> Meet the band:
>
> Sharon Cousins provides vocals and plays flute for Sagin' Time. Her
> fascination with the flute has continued from age 10, except for a
> temporary shift to guitar in her teens. Sharon and her husband, Joshua
> Yeidel, moved to the Palouse region near Moscow, Idaho, in 1976, and
> formed the nucleus of several local folk-rock bands,
> Sun-on-the-Mountain, Jasper, and We Here Now. In 1992, they started
> Sagin' Time and continue to compose all the band's original songs.
>
> Joshua Yeidel plays guitar, keyboards, and sings. His lifelong interest
> in music and singing inspired his mother to buy Joshua his first guitar
> at age 13. He also learned to play keyboards and played with numerous
> bands and as a solo street musician throughout his early adulthood. In
> December of 1971, he met his future wife, Sharon Cousins, when they both
> played guitar on the streets of San Fransisco. Joshua is a self-taught
> computer worker, now employed as an Information Systems Manager at
> Washington State University.
>
> LuAnn Scott is the bass guitarist. Her involvement in music began with
> piano lessons as at age 6 and later included playing clarinet, bass
> horn, snare drum, organ, and guitar. Twenty years ago, she traded her
> acoustic guitar for an electric bass guitar. On bass, she jammed with
> friends, playing folk, rock and punk tunes. In 1992, she joined her
> first band, Sagin' Time. LuAnn is a molecular biologist and manages a
> research laboratory at the University of Idaho.
>
> Michelle Ward plays lead guitar. Her parents recognized her musical
> talents, encouraged Michelle to sample a variety of instruments, and
> bought her a guitar when she was in the fifth grade. She played in bands
> and jazz combos through her high school and college years, including
> local groups Aurora, an all-woman folk-rock band, Con Brio!, a classical
> guitar duo, and the early music group The Carliol Consort. Michelle
> graduated from the University of Idaho in 1988 with a bachelor's degree
> and in 1991 with a master's degree, both in guitar performance. She
> established GTR Guitar Studio in 1993 where she teaches guitar and music
> theory. She joined Sagin' Time in 1992.
>
> Liz Foster is Sagin' Time's drummer. After trying many different
> instruments as a child, she took up folk guitar in her 20's. Playing
> guitar, she performed with her brother and sisters. She later
> corresponded with Sharon Cousins through an Internet chat group, and in
> 1997, visited her in Moscow. Later that year, Liz moved to Moscow. In
> 1998, she took up drums and joined Sagin' Time as their drummer.
