Fonging for the Soul
by Erasmus Caffery
Gather with others as they tap on an oven rack attached to strings tied to fingers that are stuck
in your ears, and listen to primal sounds of the universe. Fonging brings us together in laughter,
and is much more sane than war.
This book explains how to fong. It’s very simple and you can do it with anyone. By
understanding the simultaneous silliness and splendor of life, we learn to create a better and
more peaceful world through inanity. With many helpful illustrations, because you’ll need
them.
“The best book on fonging ever written!” – Anonymous
“Who ever imagined anything so ridiculous could be so enlightening.” – Very Famous Person
“Fonging is humorous therapy for the soul.” – Insightful Person
The Washington Post called ‘Fonging for the Soul’ an “excellent book … , which delves into the
co(s)mically spiritual practice of hanging an oven rack from your fingers and then sticking said
fingers into your ears while others tap the rack with kitchen utensils.”

Illumine
by Lynda Allen
“On reading Illumine I feel as if I’ve been hypnotized, transported to this diaphanous world that’s connected to the flesh and bones world of people and things, but apart from it, too — rich and reflective, contemplative even.
There’s loss here, but always, always a promise of redemption.” — Steve Watkins, 2009 Golden Kite Award of Fiction
My Love Affair with an Island: The History of the Jefferson Islands Club and St. Catherine’s Island
by Jefferson Glassie
The Jefferson Islands Club was founded on the Poplar Islands in the Chesapeake Bay in 1931 by several Democratic Senators as a place to escape their hectic political lives. Known as the “Playground of Presidents” in its early years, the Club hosted many Presidents including Roosevelt and Truman and political luminaries of the day.
The Club moved to its present location on St. Catherine’s Island in 1945. Jefferson Glassie has been going to the Island since 1954, and has served as Club Manager, Executive Vice President, Historian, and on the Board of Governors. In this book, he recounts the history of the Club and the Island he loves, with many stories and anecdotes from the Club’s 75 year history.
Peace and Forgiveness
by Jefferson Glassie
The first in a series of remarkable publications, this book by Jefferson Glassie probes the most intimate questions of life and the Universe.
Undeterred by common beliefs and misperceptions, Glassie describes a theory of life that is truly unique.
In Peace and Forgiveness, Glassie explains that all men and women are one with everything else in the Universe, and that each person is love and perfection. He shows how the things people think come from evil really come from fear. And, in order to have true peace – peace of mind – one just needs to learn forgiveness, in other words learn to let it go.

people.“

Rest In The Knowing
by Lynda Allen
“One thing I know for sure – you are about to be blessed, as you read and experience the profound poetry of Lynda Allen. Rest in the Knowing, is broken down into seven groups of four outstanding poems each. The poems reflect every person’s journey of life that is NOT a straight path going from darkness to light. It is a path that often veers wildly back from one to the other but with each leg of the journey a feeling of being closer to the truth. Few people are able to express with such eloquence the inner feelings, and desires every human experiences.’
— Christopher Ian Chenoweth, Publisher, Daily Inspiration

Songs of Peace and Forgiveness
People think blues music is just about jilted lovers, juke joints, and bad times, but it is also about courage, survival, love, and even forgiveness. The music reflects life in its many aspects; happy, sad, tiresome, painful, or fun. The music grew out of African Americans’ struggles in this country, and its early origins included field hollers, work songs, and spirituals. These influenced blues, jazz, rock and roll, country, bluegrass, hip hop, and almost all modern music.
Blues musicians are in tune with the spirit of their music and understand the communal and healing power of the songs they sing. In Songs of Peace and Forgiveness, they testify to the spiritual side of their artistry and demonstrate their essential commitment to bringing peace through music.
The songs complement the general concepts in the books Peace and Forgiveness and Poems of Peace and Forgiveness by Jefferson Glassie. But each song specifically evokes the artist’s individuality and philosophy of life. They all do believe we can have a better world.
All songs are either originals by the artist or a colleague, or traditional pieces in the public domain. Each artist has contributed the song without receiving any compensation in support of the spirit of the project and to help preserve a cherished institution in Washington, DC, the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation. The Foundation is a nonprofit, tax exempt Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization that operates the well-known “Barbershop,” where the late Archie Edwards cut hair for decades, and where on Saturday afternoons they drew the blinds, pulled out the libations, and played the blues. Archie played acoustic, Piedmont blues with a driving alternating bass line. Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, John Cephas, and Phil Wiggins were among those who played at the Barbershop.
Today, blues musicians and their friends still come by the Barbershop to jam on Saturday afternoons. There is a tremendous feeling of brotherhood and community. The audience is diverse and everyone is welcome to play acoustic blues or just come and listen. The Barbershop is a place of peace and part of that better world we all strive for each moment. During his life, Archie was intent on passing the music on to future generations, and the Foundation continues his legacy.
We hope you will enjoy this music and the messages brought to you by these talented and dedicated musicians. If you enjoy the music, please visit their websites. Lyrics and liner notes for the songs are here in the sidebar. Your gratitude for their work are the only compensation they will receive.
We truly can bring peace through music, for if even one song helps love grow in this world, we are succeeding. We extend our thanks to all the musicians, engineers, sound guys, and others who contributed to this production. The CD was mastered by Eric Weinberg, Little Erich Music Studio, Burke, Virginia; www.littleerichmusic.com.Special thanks to Gaye Adegbalola and Suzanne Moe, who provided incredible love and support for this project from the beginning (and Suzanne especially for graphic design of the CD and cover, see www.sumoe.com), and to Mark Kinniburgh of Rent Party Studios, who produced this CD and has helped us tremendously in our eclectic adventures.
