At this year's Music on the Porch event (Monday, July 15), Islanders will be treated to three song selections from my two-act musical play, Beaver Isle. I'm looking to rehearse musicians on the island in June. Here's what I need: 1. Fiddle band instrumentalists to accompany one of Beaver Island's fi...

Thanks very much, Joe Moore, Fish Camp and pdevers, for your informative and helpful replies. I'll now be paying attention to the wind direction when I hear the humming and finally making sense of it. Much appreciation,
David

Calling all acoustical engineers! Has anyone else heard the mysterious low humming sound that seems to come from the earth at the north end of the island? I first heard it last summer when I was tent camping at the Stables Campground. I'm hearing it again this summer. The sound is a steady, low freq...

Just in time for your mid-winter reading enjoyment, a gripping mystery tale set on Beaver Island. Some people come to Beaver Isle to be born, some to die. Brad’s first trip to Beaver Isle is a life-changing event, thanks to a chance encounter with Patrick Bonner, the gifted island fiddler. Brad’s ne...

A comedy/farce. Quiet life on Beaver Island turns to mayhem thanks to a convergence of too many ornamental blacksmiths showing up at the same time, a wacky militia contingent intent on ridding the island of all "undesirables," a former rock star who believes she is the ancient Greek poetes...

Dear Beaver Island musicians, I've heard that there used to be a tradition here that when ferry passengers arrived at the port of St. James, they received 1000 welcomes in the form of live Irish music being played on the pier for them. I'm interested in reviving this tradition with other island musi...

I don't see the summer yoga on the BICC calendar.

Thank you to the local musicians who practiced some of the songs (before COVID-19 sent everyone into hiding) from my two-act musical play, Beaver Isle. The musical showcases fourteen original songs and three instrumentals and is set on Beaver Island in the summer of 1913. It features Protar and Patr...

Thanks very much, Sharon! I'll give you a call.

I'll be on BI from August 23 through the month of September, camping at the Stables. I'm in need of a men's bike for myself and my service dog, Bonita (rent, borrow or buy) for those weeks.
Thank you, David Hill

It was my great pleasure to spend the summer of 2019 on Beaver Island and to compose an original musical play for community or school theater based on the friendship between Protar and the well known fiddler, Pat Bonner. The action takes place around the Fourth of July, 1913. It may be some time bef...
