Humor&Harmony is back! The Chesley Memorial Library and the Friends of the Northwood Libraries will sponsor "Humor&Harmony” featuring Rebecca Rule and Cordwood at the Northwood Congregational Church on Saturday, October 26, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. Special guest Joel Sherburne from Calef’s Country Store will also be on hand to delight the audience with his own special brand of humor. Suggested donation is $6.00 per person at the door. Refreshments will be available to purchase and the Friends will hold a silent auction to raise funds to benefit the library.
Rebecca Rule is a humorist/writer who specializes in funny stories about New Hampshire. Rebecca Rule gathers and tells stories and she'll be telling some of her funniest ones for Humor and Harmony. Her latest book is That Reminds Me of a Funny Story: A Memoir, How-To, and Compendium of Yankee Humor. Other books include: Sixty years of cuttin' the cheese : Joel Sherburne and Calef's famous country store ; N is for NH, an ABC book for children and adults with photographs by Scott Snyder; The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever, illustrated by Jennifer Thermes; Moved and Seconded: NH Town Meeting; and Could Have Been Worse: True Stories, Embellishments, and Outright Lies. She hosts Our Hometown on NHPTV.
Cordwood is a bluegrass and folk quartet made up of instrumental, vocal, and recording artists from Northwood, Durham, and Deerfield. This is not your local neighborhood hobby band. They are a fine group of seasoned New England musicians. Each can hold his or her own at field picking or a back stage jam, and yet, as a band, they present a highly polished on-stage performance. All four members of Cordwood are storytellers and songwriters, creating original material for instrumentalists who can sing and harmonize, sometimes taking the lead vocal, other times hanging back and lending two, three, or even four-part harmonies to a song. Cordwood provides a unique sound to both originals and the covers they perform. Their tunes remain heartfelt and down-home. The band’s material is a mixture of traditional bluegrass, folk, and swing. Cordwood is Wini Scovill Young on banjo and guitar, Walt Kutylowski on bass, Al Pratt on guitar, and Bob Young on mandolin, names you may remember from Big Chicken, The Deerfield Coffeehouse Band, and Fat Hands.
