BIGGER THAN YESTERDAY

Mother’s Day – A Work in Progress

Everything I have to say about Stephie, everything I love about her, everything I can share – is in our new, “Inside” video.   It is just about ready.  It is the most personal work we have ever done, and the most beautiful.  If you write to the studio (studio@langestudio.com – put “Inside” in the subject line), we will send you a link for the work in progress.  If are more patient, it will be posted on our website next week.

Mother’s Day was wanting to be together.  Waking to wishes flying off the ceiling fan. Over pancakes from Poppycock’s.  With the boys on the spring grass.   Just the two of us at a picnic of truffled pate and sweet melon where we made it past reality into dreamland.    The day crowned by a feast cooked up by our good friend Scott Mowbray.

Mother’s Day with Stephie, who has taught our sons more from her patience and love than any lessons they will ever learn.   Mother’s Day wishes to my mother in Pittsburgh, who sang with Jackson and Asher over a video chat.  Mother’s Day wishes to Janet Cook who will be in her garden for the foreseeable future, with all of us ready for a glass of wine and walk through the blooms.

There is a longer, “director’s cut” of this video – involving three different locations, phenomenal production values, dangerous stunts and camera work, and fish at the end.   The producers convinced me to keep it short and to the point.   Let me know if you are interested in seeing the longer version.   Requests can be sent to: george@langestudio

Pete Seeger at 91

Get the Flash Player to see this content.


It was well over a hundred degrees in this tent at the Clearwater Festival.   Jackson’s hair was plastered  to his head, taking it all in.  Pete was right there in all his glory.

When I was maybe 10,11, 12….I went to my first Pete Seeger concert in Pittsburgh.  Outside they were handing out flyers warning that Pete was a communist and not to go in.    I remember wanting even more to go in, which I did and sang my heart out.  So much so, that Muzz’s older brother David told me to stop singing so loud.   I guess it says something about my childhood that David trying to quiet me down at a Pete Seeger concert was one of my biggest traumas.

Last year, Glenn Beck asked me if my parents were communists.   I told him the closest I had ever gotten to a communist growing up was going to a Pete Seeger concert. Glenn looked at me incredulously, “Pete Seeger!  Pete Seeger is an artist.  Artists can do anything!”
