The Muse and the Marketplace is a three-day literary conference designed to give aspiring writers a
better understanding about the craft of writing fiction and non-fiction,
to prepare them for the changing world of publishing and promotion, and
to create opportunities for meaningful networking.(source)
The Event takes place 1st-3rdMay at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
'The Musicality of Words' is a discusion lead by Joe Henry, how the tonality of the word is the mother of thought: its mysterious and instinctive guide.
It is scheduled on May 2nd from 10:30am -11:45 am.
This lecture has a limited capacity of 50 seats, so make sure to sign up.
And with a celebration, off course, will also come a party, called 'The Fretboard Summit'.
Joe Henry is one of the performers.
Our list of performers is growing every week. So far, we have Bill Frisell, Chris Eldridge & Julian Lage, Matt Munsteri, Joe Henry, Blake Mills and other FJ favorites attending. Speakers include Bill Collings, Richard Hoover, Dick Boak (Martin), Mark Stutman of Folkway Music, Richard Johnston (Gryphon), Jim Baggett (Mass Street Music) and many fretted instrument builders, authorities and historians.
Playing acoustic guitar and presenting mostly his own compositions, Joe
Henry found an ideal partner in Bill Frisell, whose electric guitar work
added harmonies and subtle sonic colors. The notable reportorial
exception was a version of “One For My Baby (“And One More For The
Road)” that was more reminiscent of Tom Waits than Frank Sinatra.
Watch an 'all star' performance of 'Sitting on top of the world'.
A wonderful version of 'Eyes out for you', together with Bill Frisell.
Listen to a podcast where Joe talks with David Crosby about the 'art of recordmaking'.
