Our small community is chock full of creative types of all kinds.  I'll try to start posting about them as I think of 'em.

Here's one that's right next door that doesn't receive nearly enough credit.  He's been backing up Little Richard all over the country - and world - for years.  I've been wondering where he, Kelvin Holly was this weekend.  Well, I figured it out after reading this morning's front page of the TimesDaily.  He, along with Wayne Chaney will be accompanying Little Richard again this 4th of July on the west lawn.  It will be live again on PBS. 

Kelvin, I know you are busy, but your dogs are barking. . .

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
