David has also lectured and assisted in the AHS Music Production course. He has adjudicated at the AHS Battle of the Bands and has booked a number of AHS Rock Bands, as well as the AMS Jazz Band, in his Briscoe Studio and at the MidSummer’s Dream Art and Music Festival. Several AHS students have served as David’s Recording Assistant intern and have used it for their Senior Project.

David is open to suggestions on how Ashland public school teachers can use his skills. He currently has one pro bono AHS jazz piano student who is exceptionally gifted but can’t pay for lessons.
David is particularly willing to:
- Work with groups of teenagers on jazz improvisation, on all instruments.
- Work with groups of teenagers on all aspects of modern, computer based recording including songwriting, arranging, sound synthesis, MIDI, miking, editing, mixing, and burning CDs.
- Take on an individual student as a Recording Assistant intern to be used as a Senior Project.

Jim ~ After leaving the U of O at Eugene I moved into the wilderness of the Siskiyou National Forest on Silver Creek. I lived alone there as an artist/painter, for 6 years, until I met Carol. Carol & I continued living at Silver Creek for 8 more years, when we moved to our present home, the Hat Ranch, in the foothills above Talent. Our son, Jacob, was 6 & ready for more kids! We founded Hat People in 1978, while still at Silver Creek, making 2013 our 35th year as Hat People.

When working with students I constantly remind myself that I am a guide in the creative process. Most students have no problem with envisioning what they wish to create, the challenge is in providing the raw materials, tools, & encouragement that allows that vision to be made real. I find myself in a constant dance between technical adviser, cleanup crew, & gofer. It's a high calling.
Elena promised (kind of) a haiku for this spot, but if she changes her mind, that's okay. She is a true renaissance women and we are so happy to have her helping with the administration of the ArtWing. JRY
