Rebecca Rule, aka the Moose of Humor, is a humorist/writer who specializes in funny stories about New Hampshire.  You never know what is going to happen once the lies, uh, stories start flying.  Her CDs are "Better Than a Poke in the Eye" and "Perley Gets a Dump Sticker."  Her latest book is "Live Free & Eat Pie: A Storyteller’s Guide to New Hampshire."

Cordwood is a bluegrass and folk quartet made up of instrumental, vocal, and recording artists from Northwood, Strafford, 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, ore 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 Young on banjo and guitar, Walk 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.
