Musicians may congregate in metropolises and vie for scant playing opportunities, but they also form communities that cohere like families â largely minus the sibling rivalry. The musicians and composers involved in the latest instalment of the Paul Cutlan String Project underscore this feeling of community, just as the music itself carries a strong sense of the leaderâs humanity.
Living, the second album to combine Cutlanâs reeds, Brett Hirstâs bass and a string quartet, was recorded in March, a week before the pandemic eliminated such activities, and this was the music presented here.

But it isn’t.
This is the fifth time we’ve tried this morning. All I want to do is see my grandchildren on the screen as I can’t see them face to face.
But for some reason, it’s not working.
“Sorry, Mum,” says my daughter when she rings me. “We’ll just have to talk instead.”
But it’s difficult. Rose (5) and George (3) are very confused. Last week they could see us. This week they can’t.
It’s not just because of the lockdown. After all, I’m in their childcare bubble. It’s also because of my husband’s operation which means we have to self-isolate until the middle of the week. But it’s hard on my daughter who isn’t seeing anyone else because of her low immunity, and it’s hard on us.
Hamilton Mayhew Way: Strong when it counted
Dean Karau
The Star Courier
Born into a family of abolitionists, his moral compass was set at an early age. His upbringing and strength of character led to Black citizens arriving in our hometown within a decade of its founding.
Hamilton Mayhew Way was born in Ashtabula County, Ohio, in 1827, to Elisha A. and Anna Way. Elisha was a farmer and later a prosperous mill owner. He and Anna soon had six more children.
Elisha and Anna became key components of the Underground Railway in Ohio, helping runaway slaves get to Canada. Any runaway who got as far as Lucasville, north of the Ohio River, received their aid.
