Welcome to The Light and Limn -- Darka Dusty's new interview podcast, including portraits by master photographer, Miri Stebivka. 

"My first guest is none other than Tom D'Antoni, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Oregon Music News. It was Tom who first encouraged me to do my own podcast, so who better to interview, am I right? You'll hear about his unique TV and Radio career, as well as some unexpected things you may not know about Tom. And as ever, there'll be some cheeky humor along the way. Thank you, Tom!!"

The Light and Limn: My first guest: Tom D'Antoni

Welcome to the 2nd episode of The Light and Limn -- Darka Dusty's new interview podcast, including portraits by master photographer, Miri Stebivka.

"My 2nd guests are none other than "LITTLE HEXES" -- made up of four amazing women: Karamy Muessig, Jen Topping, AnMarie Trimble, and Amy Spreadborough: In my opinion, this is a band that simply doesn't have the attention they deserve! Their music is mysterious, melodious, and meticulous literary punkpop rock... but so much more. It's just REALLY hard to figure out what musical genre they'd fit into, because there's so much to their songs -- they defy categorization -- so I thought I'd do my part to spread the gospel about Little Hexes: They're about to be your new favorite band. And they're right here in Portland! So, enjoy our fun conversation. These four women are an inspiration to me, and that's why we wanted to shed some light on what makes them so rare and special."

Little Hexes, your new favorite band

It's kind of amazing when you watch something transform in front of your eyes -- from a crazy yet fabulous idea, to something very real and tangible, monolithically exciting, and wildly historic.  In this month's episode of "The Light and Limn," I interview Julie Madsen, Luke Strahota, Michael Joyce, the tireless organizers of next month's Louie Louie 24-hour Marathon right here in Portland, OR, as well as Dick Peterson, rock royalty -- and original drummer of The Kingsmen, the band that made that rock classic a mega hit: You'll hear all about the song's controversial beginnings (including the FBI investigation) as well as why it's now regarded as one of the most important rock n' roll songs EVER. Most importantly, you'll hear about an unbelievably historic event that's going to SHAKE UP our beautiful city of Portland, in just the right way! Proceeds benefit AFRU Gallery, which is also the location of this event. Mark your calendars!: October 7 to 8 -- for 24 hours!!!  YOU GOTTA GO to that show -- and in this third episode of The Light and Limn, you'll hear all the reasons why you simply can't miss it!

Louie Louie 24-Hour Marathon -- WHAT?

Sometimes we  have fresh new faces on the scene come to the Artichoke Music Café, and sometimes we welcome musicians who have been around the block a time or two. People who have long-time fans but who have never stopped evolving and discovering new music within them.
Steve Wilkinson was in Gravelpit and Mission 5 and his current band Wilkinson Blades, but he’s releasing his first solo album Truth or Consequences, recorded over eight days with producer Rob Stroup in Truth or Consequences New Mexico. 
Want the truth? When we started rolling I got his name wrong.  What a dope. I’m leaving it in.

A beautiful rendition of a "Sonnet" by persecuted Ukrainian composer Vasyl Barvinsky. 

Anton Belov, Baritone
Stanislav Serebriannikov, Piano

Cонет (Sonnet)
Music by Vasyl Barvinsky (1888-1963)
Text by Ivan Franko (1856-1916)

Blessed art thou among women,
The joy of souls, and the blessed sun,
The source of happiness, all sprinkled with tears,
Oh, my paradise, my torment, and my song!


My queen, the lowest among the people
You elevate to the heights of your throne,
And to the depth of suffering, tears, and filth,
You cast down those how wear the crown.

For you, all hearts of men are equal,
Your kiss ennobles every soul,
You transfigure tears into diamonds.

Your touch transforms thorns into roses.
And rests upon the hearts like a sweet charm,
Awakens all, rejuvenates, and intoxicates.

Vasyl Barvinsky--Sonnet (poetry by Ivan Franko)

Portland's Kyleen King, known as the musician's musician, is a professional instrumentalist and vocalist who brings nuance, wisdom, humor, and musical excellence to all her endeavors. Whether she's working as a session musician, string arranger, composer, teacher, or live performer (most notably as a touring musician with multi-Grammy-Award winner Brandi Carlile and her “Bramily,”) Kyleen gives 100% of her grounded energy and mindfulness to each facet of her musical multiverse. Now, Kyleen is embarking on an ambitious journey to get a masters in social work, so that she can help fellow musicians with their (usually under-addressed) mental and physical health issues: Kyleen knows all about the struggle musicians encounter just trying to meet basic needs, to manage substance use, creative burnout, and abuse in the music industry. This mission is not only important, it is vital to the health and well-being of our musical community, which has suffered in big ways during the pandemic and beyond. After hearing what Kyleen has to say in this interview, please consider supporting her goal by donating to her GoFundMe: “Support a Musician's Journey to Social Work.” Miri and I visited Kyleen in her studio a few days ago. My conversation with her will make you want to join in the mission to help those who create music, a vocation that is sadly under-valued by the general public. After our chat, Miri photographed Kyleen: Intermittent flash issues turned what could have been a problem into artful serendipity, resulting in visual movement and whimsy – perfectly capturing Kyleen's free-flowing creative spirit. It's all systems go for Kyleen's Mission of Love! 

Kyleen King's Mission of Love

Welcome to The Light and Limn, a creative collaboration between Darka Dusty and Miri Stebivka, partners in time, music, photography, and life. Darka has lively chats with interesting people, and Miri takes their portraits, in his unique style. Illumination... conversation... That's what we love.
