Details:
A Cup Of Kindness...Music for the Season of Joy is a collection of traditional carols presented in all instrumental settings with no vocals. All acoustic instruments include autoharps, accordeon, bells, concertina, dulcimer, fiddle, guitars, harmonicas, mandocello, mandola, mandolin, pennywhistles, spoons, ukulele and washboard.
This is music of praise and hope, deeply reverent, yet joyously celebratory. Some of these songs have been nurtured by people for over five hundred years, embracing much of the worth of our civilization. Birth and death, epic journeys, cruelty and compassion, forces of nature and humankind are vividly reflected.
Neil Woodward describes the collection: "My conscious memory begins here. To share these melodies with family and friends is to be cradled in loving arms."
Elderly Instruments (https://www.tradebit.com) describes A Cup Of Kindness as a "Hot Platter"
"How could one guy have played all those instruments so beautifully?...Amazing."
Detroit Monthly
Neil Woodward is Michigan’s Troubadour. For over thirty years he has shared folk music’s warmth and wisdom with Great Lakes audiences. In such historic surroundings as Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad, Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, and in schools and libraries lake-to-lake, his vast repertoire, musical skills and enthusiasm bring to life the Michigan experience for people from around the world.
In 2003 the Legislature of the State of Michigan officially named Neil Woodward Michigan’s Troubadour in recognition of his life long commitment to preservation of Great Lakes folk music and culture.
The Arts Foundation of Michigan (now ArtServe Michigan) with their Creative Artist Grant Award recognized Neil’s own compositions as continuing contributions to the troubadour’s tradition, an artistic chronicle of significant individuals and events. His songs, recordings and concerts have earned him nine Detroit Music Awards. His traditional recordings are catalogued by the Library of Congress Office of Folklife, and by the Library and the Archives of the State of Michigan.
Neil’s experience in performance, research, writing, arranging, theatre, audio and video production, and his widely acknowledged skill with over a dozen musical instruments offer a unique perspective to his many private students. His school programs bring our culture into focus for pre-school through college level. In venues as diverse as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Michigan Historical Center, Detroit Institute of Arts, Northern Michigan campgrounds and lighthouses, and community schools of Davison, Detroit, Kentwood and Alpena, Neil’s performances pay tribute to light keepers, migrant workers, sailors, soldiers, teachers, mothers, fathers, lumberjacks, railroaders, farmers, hobos and auto workers.
