This Sunday our birthday party kicks off at 3pm, but we hope you'll come early for a conversation with local author and activist Clare Hanrahan!
Clare will present her new book "Elder & Sage Community Gardens: An Urban Uprising," which tells the story of the tenacious group of wayside gardeners who turned a vacant lot at 33 Page Avenue in Downtown Asheville into a community garden. Clare has been a fixture of local social justice movements for the better part of four decades and we so appreciate the way she has lovingly documented the community work she's been a part of. Let's celebrate our gardens and our co-ops this weekend!
Additional information and book purchasing can be found at https://firestorm.coop/events/3605-the-elder-sage-community-gardens.html.

This weekend marks a year since Hurricane Helene poured into our mountains, creating both big C catastrophe and small C communism. To grapple with what we'd experienced, we created a Disaster Reading Group, initially focused on exploring Rebecca Solnit's "A Paradise Built In Hell." It was a wildly successful space, filling our bookstore to capacity for biweekly discussions. The group became a container for friendships forged in the chaos of last September alongside new relationships premised on a shared desire to process the worst, and hold onto the best, of the storm days.
Like other containers created for folks to find one another post-Helene, the reading group served as a launch pad for a multitude of organically organized activities, spaces, and dreams. In the new year, as we slipped from infrastructural crisis into political crisis, our group developed into a place to process the horror of watching fascism reassert itself within the US American body writ large, an anti-solidarity antithesis of what we'd co-created as storm survivors.
We know that Helene will continue to fall further behind us, with new storms looming. And while what we experienced will stay with us forever, it's time to wind down this particular space that was created for our grief and joy as survivors. The final reading cycle will, appropriately enough, return us to Helene and our own stories.
Whether or not you've attended in the past, you're invited to join on Monday, Oct 6th to discuss "Appalachia the Catastrophe," the final issue of the incredible Mergoat Magazine. Copies can be found at our shop or purchased through our website with a 10% discount using promo code BEHOLDEN. We'll be splitting the publication—replete with photos, poetry, art, and essays—into two sessions followed by a final potluck to send us off into the next adventure, no doubt full of both terror and unanticipated possibilities. We hope you can join us!

Asheville Strong – A Benefit EP for Asheville after Helene
Even though it is no longer headline news, the residents of Asheville are continuing to struggle. Please support in whatever way you can.
In June of 2006, I wrote a song called Asheville.
I had recently visited the town, and as I reflected on that visit and a conversation I had with an aging musician, I penned the lyrics below. I am a big fan of Johnny Cash, and this song’s musical cadence is my attempt to honor the Man in Black.
The song has always been one of favorites. Though I have yet to make a studio recording of the song, I have performed it live on numerous occasions where it has been well-received.
Upon learning of the recent devastation of Asheville by Hurricane Helene, I decided to release on an EP several live recordings as well as new mixes and interpretations of the song in solidarity with the people of Asheville as they begin the long hard task of cleaning up and rebuilding.
Proceeds from the sale of the EP will go to help Asheville rise from the rubble of this difficult time.

Lyrics:
Asheville
June 4, 2006
Well, I’m going down to Asheville, Asheville, North Carolina
I won’t be going to Nashville, and get caught up in the Nashville Machine.
Asheville is where I’ll be.
I hear that it’s pretty, pretty in North Carolina.
It’s not the Music City, the city of broken dreams.
No, it’s Asheville for me.
Outside my window Mr. Mockingbird still sings his tunes for free
While in Nashville songs are bought and sold like commodities.
The melodies we make can never be owned by you and me
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze,
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze.
An old musician he was saying, he was saying unto me.
He said don’t you be playing, playing down in Nashville, Tennessee.
It took the music out of me.
(He said) When I was young, I hit the road, hit the road with all my dreams
I sold my soul, sold it to the Nashville Machine
Til there was no music left in me.
Outside my window Mr. Mockingbird still sings his tunes for free
While in Nashville songs are bought and sold like commodities.
The melodies we make can never be owned by you and me
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze,
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze.
Well, I’m going down to Asheville, Asheville, North Carolina
I won’t be going to Nashville, and get caught up in the Nashville Machine.
Asheville is where I’ll be.
I hear that it’s pretty, pretty in North Carolina.
It’s not the Music City, the city of broken dreams.
No, it’s Asheville for me.October 7, 2024

In June of 2006, I wrote a song called Asheville.
I had recently visited the town, and as I reflected on that visit and a conversation I had with an aging musician, I penned the lyrics below. I am a big fan of Johnny Cash, and this song’s musical cadence is my attempt to honor the Man in Black.
The song has always been one of favorites. Though I have yet to make a studio recording of the song, I have performed it live on numerous occasions where it has been well-received.
Upon learning of the recent devastation of Asheville by Hurricane Helene, I decided to release on an EP several live recordings as well as new mixes and interpretations of the song in solidarity with the people of Asheville as they begin the long hard task of cleaning up and rebuilding.
Proceeds from the sale of the EP will go to help Asheville rise from the rubble of this difficult time.

Lyrics:
Asheville
June 4, 2006
Well, I’m going down to Asheville, Asheville, North Carolina
I won’t be going to Nashville, and get caught up in the Nashville Machine.
Asheville is where I’ll be.
I hear that it’s pretty, pretty in North Carolina.
It’s not the Music City, the city of broken dreams.
No, it’s Asheville for me.
Outside my window Mr. Mockingbird still sings his tunes for free
While in Nashville songs are bought and sold like commodities.
The melodies we make can never be owned by you and me
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze,
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze.
An old musician he was saying, he was saying unto me.
He said don’t you be playing, playing down in Nashville, Tennessee.
It took the music out of me.
(He said) When I was young, I hit the road, hit the road with all my dreams
I sold my soul, sold it to the Nashville Machine
Til there was no music left in me.
Outside my window Mr. Mockingbird still sings his tunes for free
While in Nashville songs are bought and sold like commodities.
The melodies we make can never be owned by you and me
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze,
Music is for sharing like the birdsong on the morning breeze.
Well, I’m going down to Asheville, Asheville, North Carolina
I won’t be going to Nashville, and get caught up in the Nashville Machine.
Asheville is where I’ll be.
I hear that it’s pretty, pretty in North Carolina.
It’s not the Music City, the city of broken dreams.
No, it’s Asheville for me.#album #Asheville #AshevilleStrong #benefit #ep #featured #gofundme #Helene #hiking #Hurricane #hurricaneHelene #KeithLyndakerSchlabach #kmls #Music #NashvilleSound #Nature #northCarolina #SingerSongwriter #Songs #support #Travel
