TUESDAY March 19th at 7pm: THE QUIET MAN with Caledonia Skytower

  


It's a time for traditions at Seanchai Library, and this is one of those.

Maurice Walsh's short story was an Irish novelist, now best known for his short story "The Quiet Man", later made into the Oscar-winning film The Quiet Man, directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. He was one of Ireland's best-selling authors in the 1930s.

Caledonia Skytower presents Maurice Walsh's short story of two people finding each other, and themselves, in the rural Ireland of the 1930s

TUESDAY, MARCH 5th at 7pm: CELEBRATING SEUSS!

 

Stories return to the Library in March!

120 years ago this month, and unique creative mind was born. While the world has changed since the first days that the man we knew as Dr. Seuss first penned his whimsical tales, much of his canon of work is part of many of our young lives. Somehow the world would not quite be as bright a place if a mysterious cat might not knock on our doors unexpectedly, bringing excitement and danger to a boring day with the assurance, "Your Mother will not mind if you do!"

THURSDAY January 4th at 7pm: A TWELFTH NIGHT GHOST STORY

   

"A Ghost Hunt on Christmas Eve?"
A TWELFTH NIGHT GHOST STORY
When sensible and level-headed Beatrice Casson decides to spend Christmas in a hotel in the wilds of Scotland it was the “old fashioned Christmas” experience promised in the brochure that was the attraction. – The smell of pine trees, crackling log fires, mulled wine, tangerines, walnuts and frosted forest walks. What she had not noticed in the itinerary was the ghost-hunt planned for Christmas Eve. Bea didn’t believe in ghosts. So who was the pale young girl who visited her room during a power cut on the night she arrived? And how was it that suddenly Bea found herself helping a medium reunite a mother and daughter who had been roaming the hotel searching for each other for hundreds of years?

MONDAY, January 1st at The Dicken Project: Come Fly with Us!

 

Established in April 2017 the Hawks Aerobatic Team is the culmination of a pylon race pilot joining forces with a seasoned combat pilot to experiment with importing well known RL aerobatic maneuvers into SL.

The Hawks took their name from the BAe Hawk they chose as their plane due to its superb handling characteristics and stability.  After their first show as a 'solo team' the Hawks began recruiting and training pilots.  The Hawks currently fly a 6-plane routine that includes a number of well-known maneuvers from RL aerobatics as well as some of their own unique creations.  

The Hawks are joined in the air over Dickens Harbour by Anemone Wing Walkers, and Team Phoenix.

SUNDAY, December 31st at The Dickens Project: Ghost Stories!

 


Winter ghost stories are a Victorian Tradition - after all, Dickens' A Christmas Carol is at heart a ghost story.

Trains became a popular mode of transport during Dickens’s lifetime, and he was a seasoned traveler, using the locomotive to travel the country to see friends and carry out his reading tours. But as this new technology developed there were also devastating accidents. Dickens himself experienced the Staplehurst Railway crash in 1865, a year before he wrote this story. Dickens was haunted by memories of the accident for the rest of his life.

“Now, sir, mark this, and judge how my mind is troubled.  The spectre came back a week ago.  Ever since, it has been there, now and again, by fits and starts.” 

“At the light?” 

“At the Danger-light.” 

“What does it seem to do?” 

He repeated, if possible with increased passion and vehemence, that former gesticulation of, “For God’s sake, clear the way!” 

Then he went on.  “I have no peace or rest for it.  It calls to me, for many minutes together, in an agonised manner, ‘Below there!  Look out!  Look out!’  It stands waving to me.  It rings my little bell—”

Join Caledonia Skytower for this tale and more.

TUESDAY December 5th at 7pm: THE ICE DRAGON @ Poe Castle

  

"Winter Is Coming"
THE ICE DRAGON

In George R.R. Martin's world of A Song of Ice and Fire the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember.

Book: The Ice Dragon Author: George R. R. Martin


Storylink Radio Estate in Opensim
LIVE on YOUTUBE

Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter child—and the ice dragon who loved her—could save her world from utter destruction.


TUESDAYS at Noon: RUSSELL EPONYM, Live in The Glen

THURSDAY November 23rd at 10am: ALICES RESTAURANT MASSACREE

    

ALICE'S RESTAURANT MASSACREE
The song is one of Arlo Guthrie's most prominent works, based on a true incident from his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965 with a citation for littering, and ended with the refusal of the U.S. Army to draft him because of his conviction for that crime. The ironic punch line of the story is that, in the words of Guthrie, "I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the Army - burn women, kids, houses and villages - after bein' a litterbug." The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

The "song" is in fact a spoken monologue, presented by Shandon Loring today for your listening pleasure or just to groan at and be Thankful when it's over.
