We started the day with a fascinating interview with Martha Watson and her friend Kate. Martha told us the tale of the clock tower that once was part of Union Station in Toronto and came to Huntsville via her father’s crafty ways! Now, there’s a show piece if I ever heard one! And Kate, a very good friend of Dave Kaye, told us more about the tragic plight of this local town hero.
Another Kate, a documentary filmmaker based in Toronto but originally from Huntsville, arrived later that day to stay with us for the week and document our process. The awesome Kate Hemming, back home to work with us! Kate dug right in as Charles and I got prepped for the week of intense creation ahead. Paper went up on walls, notebooks were bought, interview clips divided, and schedules firmed up. We stayed late, wanting everything to be ready for our artists arrival in the storefront so they could get right down to business, or should I say, get right up to play…
