Sage Mountain Herbs & Earth Awareness, 2014
Welcome to Sage Mountain
Welcome to Sage Mountain. Founded by Rosemary Gladstar and family, Sage Mountain Retreat Center & Native Plant Preserve is one of New England's foremost learning centers for herbs and earth awareness. Located on 500 wilderness acres in central Vermont, this beautiful piece of Earth Mother is a natural sanctuary and teaching site. There is an incredible assortment of wild herbs and flowers growing in habitats that vary from meadows, forest to swamp. Our wild neighbors include deer, bear, moose, beavers, bobcat, otters, fox and a wonderful variety of feathered folk that honor us with their presence. Our facilities are simple, rustic and comfortable and provide a relaxing and beautiful place for participants to learn.
This marks our 27th year of offering programs at Sage Mountain. Though we will be offering fewer programs this year on the Mountain, we have a busy year planned with two large herbal events ~ the International Herb Symposium & the New England Women's Herbal Conference ~ as well as several Plant Lover's Journey's and a couple of our perennially favorite classes. Rosemary will be traveling and teaching at several other events as well. We are also seeking new owners/stewards of Sage Mountain. As we grow older (Rosemary turned 64 this year on 12-12-12!), we yearn to simplify, do less, and 'be more'. If your dream includes owning a beautiful mountain retreat and/or running a small retreat center, please contact us. Not a 'simple dream', this will require a particular person or group of people with energy and financial resources, but its a fulfilling dream worth pursuing…..

The Herbalist Teachers Training Program
The Herbalist Teachers Training Program
with Rosemary Gladstar
September 7 ~ 13, 2014
Rosemary only offers this program once every few years, and it always fills up quickly. Have you dreamed of having your own herbal center? Teaching herbalism to students? Offering events and conferences in your area? How about Herbal Travel Adventures? Are you already doing so, but not as successful or confident as you wish? Is it possible for you to create 'right livelihood' and a good salary doing what you love?! Absolutely! In this Herbalist Teacher Training Program, Rosemary will share with you all she's learned in her long and successful career as an 'adventure seeking herbalist'. This isn't a course about herbs, but how to share your herbal passion with your community and the world in a way that brings greater success and joy to you and to those around you. We'll discuss business strategies, setting reasonable goals, aligning your calendar with your life style, and other wise practices, but mostly we will learn to access our inner voice, the wise teacher within to empower and inspire that part of ourselves that wants to empower and inspire others. This will most likely be the last time Rosemary offers this course.
Space is limited. Registration Information: $1375 includes all instructions, handouts, meals and lodging (camping/limited indoor lodging). $200 non-refundable/non transferable deposit required to hold your place.

The Value of Education
by Semy Rhee
After discussing her Degree Completion Plan and a rough estimate of how many courses she needs to take, this is what I hear from Robin* on the phone: "I don't think I'm ever going to finish this. Maybe it just means I need to stop. It's not working out for me." I spend the next half hour encouraging Robin, praying with her, reminding her that she is getting closer to finishing every day—trying to speak hope and a positive attitude into her somehow.
As an Academic Advisor, I encounter situations like this often. Each one of us has unique life situations that add stress and difficulty to being a student, but regardless of what we are struggling with, we are all trudging our way through the doubts that we have about higher education, about sacrificing so much time, money, and sleep for the diploma that seems invisible right now. Robin's struggle with discouragement and weariness is familiar to most of us. If you have not already, at some point in your college career you will ask, Is this actually amounting to anything?
Whether it is getting hired for a certain position or making a better salary, each one of us had a goal in mind when we started our education. However, those goals only seem distant, and pursuing an education can seem pointless in the midst of all busyness and stress. This does not mean that your present struggle with education is going to waste, though—the value of a college education cannot be summed up as one big measurable benefit. It cannot be simplified into a salary or even a future career. I believe that there is an important aspect of college education that we fail to recognize, one that is subtle yet so significant that, if forgotten, will make this pursuit miserable instead of delightful and rewarding.
The point of a liberal arts college education is this: to transform you into a better person through expanding your mind and heart. This is the purpose of every course and every assignment that you have—to challenge and push you to examine the world and engage with ideas of others so you can refine your own. This idea is hard to digest, however, because of the desire for instant satisfaction in tangible ways that is characteristic of our society, characteristic of me. We tend to attach our educational goals to a certain salary or career and get frustrated and discouraged when it feels like it is taking too long to get there. It is even more difficult to remember what you are gaining through education when all you can see ahead is the next deadline for an assignment, but we need to remember that every little step in our education, no matter how insignificant it seems, is a moment in a transformation process with a value that far exceeds getting a certain job in the future. You are actually becoming a better person, a more excellent intellectual who can make a positive impact in the world. This is the primary goal of your education; even pursuing a future career is secondary compared to this. If this does not happen in higher education, we will have a lot of ineffective doctors, teachers, lawyers, and so on.
I am not saying that it is easy. I know it is hard. Learning is strenuous and painful. But I want you to take a second to remind yourself that every step in this journey is significant—you are expanding your mind and perspective at this very moment. And after enduring the growing pains of stretching your intellect, you will find yourself knowledgeable, equipped, and transformed. So take heart. Seize the opportunity that you have today to become a better person, and delight in worshipping and loving your Creator with your whole being, including your mind (Matt. 22:37).

Right-to-work bill finding little support in NH House
The committee voted 13-5 to recommend House Bill 322 be killed when the full House takes up the measure.
Former House speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, the prime sponsor of the House Bill 322, pushed right-to-work legislation the last two sessions, only to have former governor John Lynch veto the bill and the House fail to override it in 2011. The Senate was not willing to engage in the debate last year, saying the outcome would be the same.
HB 322 was debated last week at the public hearing, with supporters saying right-to-work will help spur the state's economy and set the state apart in the Northeast.
But opponents said HB 322 is an attack on organized labor that will drive down wages and destroy middle-class families.
Like the bill, now dubbed the Franklin Partin right-to-work act, the arguments in support and opposition changed little from the last two years.
The bill would prohibit employers and labor organizations from including fees for non-union members in collective bargaining agreements. Unions collect the fees to pay the cost of negotiating and maintaining the collective bargaining agreement from non-union members.
The earliest the House could take up the bill would be next week.

I have city water at my house that is going up. 91 psi down at the road, but my driveway rises ~150ft. So I lose about 65psi. I need a pump to make up for this. There is also a fire sprinkler system slated to go in, so I need to be able to put out 30GPM.
There's an 1.5" line coming from the meter by the road. I believe this will be dropping to 1" after the pump.
I'm guessing that the fire sprinkler requirements in terms of flow-rate (30GPM) will exceed those of a 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath house. Since the sprinklers need a continuous rating, I need a pump large enough to provide this, and so a tank is moot.
Can I get some direction in sizing/choosing a pump? Most pumps seem to be quoted in hp, and I'm not sure how to back flow-rate and psi boost out of that.

Another unique aspect of our program may allow you the opportunity to complete alternate clinical experiences in specialized areas of practice, including a select number of international opportunities. Examples of alternative experiences include women's health, APTA's Political Action Committee, orthotics, hippotherapy and more. Selections vary each year but every effort is made to work with you to find specialized areas of practice to meet your interests. Our international opportunities have included trips to the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Ethiopia. Alternative experience availability varies year to year and is not guaranteed, but many students are able to take advantage of these exciting and often life changing opportunities. In most cases, the alternate experience is a 2 to 4 week session that replaces a portion of the 12 week session at the end of the program. Selection for clinical rotations occurs approximately six months prior to each clinical. You will be provided a list of available sites and have access to detailed information regarding the site, including past student feedback. Final clinical assignments are determined by a computerized selection process based on your ranking and the internal ranking of sites. During clinical rotations you will also participate in online coursework and discussions with academic faculty to enhance your hands-on experience. This allows you to stay closely connected to your faculty; and, in collaboration with the clinical instructor on-site, helps integrate knowledge gained from your courses and refine your skills in examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, outcomes, and communication with diverse populations. The clinical education component of the Regis University DPT program is recognized nationally for its contemporary and innovative approach to hands-on education, from the first ever Clinical Education Scholar program, to the continued online course contact with University faculty while on clinical. These experiences all add up to allow you to hit the ground running after graduation! Program Requirements Listed below are the required courses for completion of this degree at Regis University.

Death from Below is an OSRIC-compatible adventure for 1st to 3rd level characters.
Though set in the World of Arkara setting, it is generic enough to run in any fantasy city with a large sewer system.
Death stalks the city of Bondaea, with 17 citizens missing or dead. Clues lead to the sewers beneath the city, where evil creatures have moved in, using the sewers to move unseen, hunting the unwary townsfolk above.
In addition to its adventure content, this module also contains two new monsters and two new magic items.
Old School Magic is the definitive resource for adding a personal touch to the magic of your old-school fantasy games!
Old School Magic features alternate rules of magic and advice for adapting your game into a low, medium or high magic setting.
It also includes 9 new classes, many of which are specifically tailored for low-magic settings, including the Alchemist, Artificer, Holy Man and Naturalist.
Other new classes include new specialist magic-users suitable for traditional old-school games, each with their own spell list, including the Conjurer, Elementalist and Seer.
Finally Old School Magic contains over 30 new spells, created for its specialist classes but available to traditional Clerics, Druids and Magic-Users as well.
Old-School Psionics takes a "what if" approach to psionics, presenting an alternate set of rules to those found in the original core rules.
If you'd like to bring psionics into your game without the need for complicated charts and attack matrices,
Old-School Psionics presents the Mentalist, a new character class dedicated to psionic abilities, which are detailed similarly to spells and broken down into seven levels of power.
Psychic abilities are broken down into four disciplines and dozens of new abilities are presented.
Old-School Psionics also brings back several classic psionic monsters including the Aboleth, the Duergar, the Brain Mole, the Doppleganger and the Intellect Devourer.
Some new monsters are also included su...
Vigilance Press steps back in time to an age of excessive violence, deep dungeons, wandering monsters, and late-night gaming excitement! OSRIC UNEARTHED provides players and GMs with an assortment of new rules options that help expand their choices. Designed for use with OSRIC or any other first edition-style game system. Written by Charles Rice. Includes eight character classes, several new weapons, two campaign suggestions, a dozen magic items, and over 30 martial arts maneuvers. This product uses the OSRIC System (Oldschool System Reference and Index Compilation). The OSRIC system text may be found at http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/osric.
Welcome to what was the Kingdom of Damask; what is a fractured realm. Once the greatest empire the world had seen in a thousand years, a home to commerce and diplomacy, favored by the King of the Gods, Atos and home to the Eternal City of Atosia.
In the length of time it took an assassin's blade to puncture his heart, a great man died and his kingdom, his dream, would soon follow him into hell. Quick to destroy, the realms will be far harder to reassemble. Can heroes turn the tide?
* Avenge the elven genocide at the hands of orcs, humans and red dragons in the Slaughterwood * Find a lost prince and restore him to his usurped throne * Rebuild a shining kingdom plunged into chaos and despair * Discover the secrets of the Mithril Dragon
In addition to campaign mater...
This is the second book in Vigilance Press' World of Arkara setting for the OSRIC system!
The World of Arkara is the type of setting you remember, an open-world sandbox with its pulp roots intact.
The Canterbury Isles are an idyllic region, once the western edge of the mighty Kingdom of Damask, they were set adrift when that empire descended into the flames of anarchy.
Since then, the largest human settlement in the region, Bondaea, has become a city obsessed with order, dominated by the priests of lawful deities, the Duke has turned the city into a police state, with random identity checks and the gates separating the four quarters of the city locked at night.
Worse, the Duke has fallen under the spell of Therran the White, god of racial purity and force...
World of Arkara is world setting for the OSRIC system.
This is the type of setting you remember: an old-school, "Sandbox" style fantasy world with its pulp roots intact!
The first in a series, the Gazetteer of the Known World provides an overview of the world, its gods, customs and social hierarchies.
It includes three full pantheons of deities, new rules for making the clerics of one deity different from those of another deity, rules for social class, and a new class, the Crusader.
The Gazetteer also includes four new variant classes: the Anti-Paladin, the Bounty Hunter, the Hunter and the Poacher. Variant classes take an existing class and modify it just enough to give it a new feel.

Fantasy baseball 2013 team previews: Baltimore Orioles
Fantasy baseball 2013 draft prep central: Rankings, position primers and much more
Unless you were talking to Buck Showalter, or perhaps Elaine Benes, very few people predicted the Orioles would make the ALDS last season. Heading into the 2012 season, the Orioles didn't have much reason for optimism. They retained much of the 2011 team, which went 69-93 and was outscored 860-708. Their two big prospects, Manny Machado and Dylan Bundy, were unlikely to make it to the majors. And they still played in the AL East. Did I say there wasn't much reason for optimism? Scratch that. There wasn't any reason for optimism.
Their neighbors to the south in Washington may have gotten more press, but the Orioles' season was way more unlikely, not only because of seeming roster deficiencies, but also because of how they flipped their record from 2011, going 93-69. They outscored their opponents by just seven runs, they won 16 straight extra-inning games and they went 29-9 in one-run games, good for a .763 win percentage and a major league record. After all that, they beat the Rangers in the AL Coin-Flip Game and took the Yankees to five games in the ALDS. Somewhere, we hope, Tony Tarasco was smiling.
Despite all that, you're still probably not going to find many who believe in the 2013 Orioles. The AL East remains one of the league's toughest divisions, and the Orioles didn't do much to upgrade an offense that was in the middle of the pack in runs scored and the bottom-third of the league in OBP. While that may not bode well for their chances to return to the postseason, there's enough fantasy goodness on this team to make it an intriguing one for owners.

• Is Manny Machado ready to turn Maryland into Mannyland? The Orioles surprised everyone when they promoted Machado straight from Double-A Bowie to the majors at the beginning of August after the 20-year-old hit .266/.352/.438 with 11 homers, 59 RBI and 13 steals through 109 games. He made a splash right away, going 2-for-4 with a triple in his first game and a pair of homers in his second, en route to hitting .262/.294/.445 with seven homers and 26 RBI. There's no doubt that he'll open the season as Baltimore's starting third baseman, but is there any chance he'll have the same title for fantasy owners this season? Probably not right away, but he could become one as the season progresses.
Machado appeared over-matched at times last season, something seen in nearly every major leaguer who can't legally buy a beer (unless they're named Mike Trout or Bryce Harper, of course). He had a strikeout rate of 18.8 percent and a walk rate of just 4.5 percent; he swung and missed 11.2 percent of the time and had a contact rate of just 76 percent. These numbers shouldn't trouble us regarding his long-term outlook, but right now, they should serve to temper this season's expectations.
On the plus side, Machado had a walk rate north of 10 percent at Bowie last year, his first time playing above High-A ball. Those normal growing pains are no reason for concern, and his minor league track record should give us confidence that he'll be a quick study. Those of you in a typical mixed league can't count on him as your starter out of the gates, but he should be drafted in all but the shallowest of leagues. He's a definite draft-and-stash option, and has the ability to transition into a starter this year.
• Is Dylan Bundy ready? Bundy was another guy who wasn't supposed to get to the majors last year, but he earned himself the briefest sip of the bigs during September. He enters this season as the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball, according to both Baseball America and MLB.com. In 23 combined starts at Low-A Delmarva, High-A Frederick and Double-A Bowie last season, Bundy, then 19 years old, went 9-3 with a 2.08 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 119 strikeouts against 28 walks in 103.2 innings. You don't get tabbed as the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball for nothing.
Bundy will likely start the year at Bowie or Triple-A Norfolk, likely making it to the majors for a decent chunk of the season. However the Orioles won't feel any need to rush him into the game, and he'll also be on some sort of innings limit after he was capped at 125 innings last year. While he's not someone you'll want to stake your fantasy franchise on this season, he's someone who should be on the radar of every single fantasy owner because he has the ability to make an impact from day one. With the Orioles' rotation no sure thing after Wei-Yin Chen and Jason Hammel, the O's may be looking for help from the minors sooner than they expect. If you're in a keeper league, bump Bundy way up your cheat sheet. He'll certainly start the 2014 season in the majors when he'll be the ripe old age of 21.
• Can Chris Davis do it again? Davis spent about half of the 2011 season toiling away for the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate and the other half playing 59 ho-hum games for the Rangers and Orioles; at this point, it's no surprise that he entered the 2012 season, like his team, with little fanfare. He forced everyone to pay attention early on and ended the year hitting .270/.326/.501 with 33 homers and 85 RBI. Now he has plenty of fanfare, as he'll start this year as the Orioles' cleanup hitter on Opening Day. But can fantasy owners trust him?
In my opinion, we can. First of all, the power is for real. He has a career .466 slugging percentage, and he's hit no fewer than 17 homers in a season when he's played at least 80 games. His career slugging percentage in the minors was .597, so he has always had a powerful stroke. Yes, he's going to strike out a ton, and he probably won't take very many walks, so he could be a drain on your rates. However, don't try and throw his .335 BABIP from last year at me -- Davis has always found a way to post unusually high BABIPs. In 2008, it was up at .351, then it fell to .324 in 2009 and .275 in an anomalous 2010 season, and in 2011, it shot back up to .366. Eventually, you have to concede that the guy might have a skill for something that is seemingly luck-based. Another 30-homer season is in the offing.
Jason Hammel: Quietly, Hammel was a very effective pitcher last year, posting a 3.43 ERA, 3.29 FIP and 8.62 strikeouts per nine innings. His .291 BABIP and 73.9 percent strand rate were essentially in line with league average. He had a 53.2 percent ground-ball rate, and induced nearly two grounders for every fly ball. All these stats are sustainable, and a great foundation for success, so get ready for another under-the-radar season.
Miguel Gonzalez: Gonzalez will probably receive more attention than his rotation mate Hammel thanks to his incredible journey to the majors, but it isn't warranted on merit. Gonzalez went 9-4 with a 3.25 ERA last year, but his FIP was 4.63 and he struck out just 6.58 batters per nine innings. His strand rate was 82.6 percent and his BABIP was .260, but those numbers scream, "I was lucky." Meanwhile, whereas Hammel had nearly a 2/1 ground ball/fly ball ratio, Gonzalez' was less than one. Stay away.
Dylan Bundy: It's between him and Machado, but I think Bundy's only a matter of when, not if. So long as he gets enough starts to break out this season, he'll do it. With all the question marks behind Chen and Hammel in Baltimore's rotation, the O's won't be able to keep Bundy down at Norfolk for long.
Chris Tillman: The 24-year-old went 9-3 with a 2.93 ERA in 86 innings last year. His FIP was up at 4.25 and he struck out a shade less than seven batters per nine innings, but he's young enough to bet on another level of progression. He should start the year in the rotation.
Nolan Reimold: Reimold played in just 16 games last year, but he hit .313 with five homers and 10 RBI in those games. He'll likely be the team's DH, and hopefully getting him out of the outfield will help keep him healthy.

University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala Named to U.S. Soccer's Board of Directors
CHICAGO (July 17, 2008) - U.S. Soccer's National Council has unanimously approved the addition of Donna E. Shalala to the Board of Directors as the third and final Independent Director. Shalala has been the President of the University of Miami for more than seven years and has more than 25 years of experience as an accomplished scholar, teacher and administrator. In June 2008, President Bush presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.
"I am delighted to be joining the Board during such an exciting time for U.S. Soccer," Shalala said. "I have watched soccer grow in this country into a magnificent opportunity for our young people to participate at every level."
Prior to her appointment as the President of the University of Miami, Shalala served as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President Clinton for eight years, becoming the longest serving HHS Secretary in U.S. history. The Washington Post described her as "one of the most successful government managers of modern times."
During her time as HHS Secretary, Shalala directed the welfare reform process, made health insurance available to an estimated 3.3 million children through the approval of all State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP), led major reforms of the FDA's drug approval process and food safety system, raised child immunization rates to the highest levels in history, revitalized the National Institutes of Health and directed a major management and policy reform of Medicare. She also worked with the U.S. Women's National Team on a successful public health (anti-tobacco) campaign.
Shalala has also held tenured professorships at Columbia University, the City University of New York (CUNY) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She served as President of Hunter College of the City University of New York from 1980 to 1987 and as Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1987 to 1993.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Shalala successfully strengthened undergraduate education and the University's research facilities. She also spearheaded the largest fundraising drive in Wisconsin's history, and in 1992, Business Week named her one of the top five managers in higher education.
From 1977 to 1980, Shalala served in the Carter administration as Assistant Secretary for Public Development and Research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Shalala received her A.B. degree in history from Western College for Women and her Ph.D. degree from The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. After graduating from Western College for Women, Shalala became of one the country's first Peace Corp Volunteers, serving in Iran from 1962 to 1964.
The three Independent Director positions were created at U.S. Soccer's 2006 Annual General Meeting when the organization's Board of Directors was reduced from 40 to 15. U.S. Soccer's National Council previously approved the addition of longtime Goldman Sachs Group partner, Carlos Cordeiro and California Speaker Fabian Núñez as Independent Directors in 2007.

I have been working at Walmart full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Good benefits, Excellent 401k matching, GED reimbursment, etc. Better pay than most retail stores, good chance to move up if you can get along with your bosses. Lot of opportunity.
Cons – Too many chiefs and not enough indians syndrome, our store manager micromanages too much, nitpicks over small problems while large ones get larger. Employees who don't work and carry their weight stay on while those who work hard are demoted, quit, etc.
Advice to Senior Management – Encourage personal responsibility and ingenuity in the lower ranks, it will boost morale. Hire a person to do a job and stand back and let them do it, only step in if they aren't getting the job done, but for the sake of other employees, remove them if they can't perform.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Jimmy Jenson "The Swingin' Swede" recalls a lifetime of making musicAlexandria, MN (WDAY TV) - Some great musicians got their start here at WDAY.

Frank Scott joined the Lawrence Welk Show, and one of our musicians from that golden era is still playing.
By: Kevin Wallevand, WDAY
Some great musicians got their start here at WDAY. Our live radio and television shows back in the 40's and 50's launched some star studded careers. Peggy Lee went on to Hollywood fame. Frank Scott joined the Lawrence Welk Show, and one of our musicians from that golden era is still playing.
They call him the "Swinging Swede," even though he is Norwegian. At age 80, Jimmy Jenson, honored by the Midwest Country Music Hall of Fame, has not stopped entertaining.
As our summer ended and fall slowly made its way into the valley, the small town of Hatton, North Dakota was celebrating more than just a bin busting harvest. The Swinging Swede was in town. With his traveling, trademark accordion strapped on, Jimmy Jenson spends another weekend, on the road singing and playing for those who used to float across his dance floors throughout Minnesota and North Dakota.
Jimmy Jenson is no stranger to show business. He's been in it for more than 70 years, playing at basket socials on stage at age 6. Then came the paying gigs.
Jimmy Jenson – Swingin' Swede: "My first job I played they gave me a box of Valentine's Day Candy was at the Detroit Lakes Library Club, I was 8 then."
And that is why so many people considered Jimmy Jenson more than just an accordion player. He was a tireless entertainer who with his band hit the backroads of the upper midwest.
Jimmy Jenson: "I was playing music at the right time, when people were dancing, we always had a big crowd no matter where we went."
During the 50's he played with the Woodchoppers often heard live on Fargo Moorhead radio, later playing for shows in the Twin Cities with some of country's greats. All this from an accordion player who still to this day, does not read notes or music.
Jimmy Jenson: "There weren't many bands around back in the 40's and 50's so we would play sometimes every night. No I don't use notes, I improvise everything."
Jimmy even hosted his own live TV show on Sundays, and he played organ for WDAY's Party Line, even though he had no clue how…and live TV was just that.
Jimmy Jenson: "I had a lot of fun experiences on Live TV. On WDAY, I always tell the story, it was my birthday and Bill Weaver of Party Line carried a flat cake over and I tipped the whole thing on the floor. That was Live TV."
He recorded countless albums, and now CD's. Even years after The Swinging Swede played those dance halls and night clubs around the valley, families remember the details. Time has trickled by.
Jimmy Jenson: "I have done some 50th Anniversary dances where years ago I played for their weddings.:
It hasn't been easy; battles with the bottle, time away from family. It took a toll.
Jimmy Jenson: "It is a tough life if you want to make a living, which I did for many years."
Recently, Jimmy Jenson has turned to singing gospel. After health scares, he says the music has given him a new perspective. At age 80, his fingers still skate across the accordion. The showman, his music just seems to keep going.
The man with 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren continues to record albums. He has produced more than ten.
