Check out my radio show podcast and listen to my interview with “Carolina George.”
George, originally from Ontario, now lives in North Carolina, and is a major player in the digital post-internet world we now all inhabit.
As a hybrid being, with a foot in the 20th Century and another in the beginnings of the “real” 21st Century, I feel like my role might be as an interpreter between two beings: BG (Before Google) and AG (After Google).
A divide that is so profound that there is really no true meeting ground.
The historian Barbara Tuchman wrote a book, in the 1970s, bringing to life the world of the 14th Century. It might be prudent to revisit her book. Messages from the 14th to the 21st Century? Perhaps….
After all, Gutenberg‘s discovery at that time, and subsequent implementation of the printing press, erased centuries of agrarian top down culture and gave birth to the ascendance of “the common man” and the creation of that middle class power base that resulted in the Industrial Revolution.

…is a community arts organization serving residents of Salt Spring Island and the Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada. Salt Spring is known around the globe for its arts tourism, and diverse and talented artists.
We are dedicated to fostering and promoting interest in sailing and cruising in the waters off the Gulf Islands, British Columbia, Canada, and to develop seamanship and a knowledge of navigation.
Vendors must “make it, bake it, or grow it” themselves, and all products must be “vendor produced and sold”. These simple mandates are the essence of our market. Visitors are treated to local creations stemming from Salt Spring’s unique brand of “island ingenuity“. Highest caliber creativity and production standards make Salt Spring Island home to the greatest collection of artists in Canada.
We are passionate about serving delicious, wholesome food prepared from scratch. Our cafe is located in the heritage cottage next to Mouat’s in the heart of Ganges village on beautiful Salt Spring Island. The building itself was built in the 1920s and has a long and diverse history which includes being the site of the first electrical generating station on the island and later as a home for one of the Mouat family’s favorite aunts, Margaret. It’s even been a smoke house, crystal shop and music school.
Our Mission: to produce jazz concerts and workshops, meaning jazz in the broadest sense, including blues, Latin and world music, on Salt Spring Island. Our purpose is to provide a platform for local and visiting artists that will nurture the local musical community and promote these genres of music on our island, reaching audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
