Logging songs, Native American music of the NW, Old-Time Ballads, American Fiddle tunes, American Blues and Gospel, stories, poetry, and folklore of the Pacific Northwest.
I own and operate an art gallery, music rehearsal studio and small, very modest community center in rural Washington State. I opened my grandparent's home as a place where local music, art making, and storytelling traditions could be kept alive. Besides local artists who display work at my shop, I also paint, carve, draw, play the fiddle, Irish drum, guitar, piano, musical saw and native american hand drum. My family has a history of folk music in the Pacific Northwest. Besides playing music, both of my grandfathers were wood carvers and most of my uncles too. Much of the work displayed is derived from family art forms and local history. Puget Sound tribal artists and musicians occasionally join us on the weekends for cultural gatherings and rehearsals. "The Spotted Owl - Folk Arts Gallery" is a showcase of rural Northwestern folk and ethnic celebration. We're glad to support you as an artist or help to showcase your particular heritage or family art forms.

for sure sounds good. i'm chicken shit when it comes to driving on icy snow. well apparently this morning half the neighborhood was too... i have tomorrow off, but don't know what the weather will bring. we shall see.
It was wicked cool seeing you again Bob. Your store was everything I hoped it would be and more. Seriously, if it wasn't three thousand miles from my place I'd be there all the time.
Stoppin' by your site to say hi! I can't believe I had to miss your drum seminar! Being 833 miles away puts a damper on my "WA" social life! Snoquoia says "Ooh, ooh, ahhh..." which translates..."Hope to meet you someday!" Take care
Hi Bob! Snoquoia was dancing to Timberbeast Town this morning! :) (I knew she would have good taste in music!) Have you already come out to Montana for your family reunion?
