THE JOURNEY IS THE REWARD THE RESULTS OF OUR SPUNK SONG CONTEST What song helped you along your personal journey? The dynamic characters in Spunk embody the all-too-human experience of struggle, love, loss, and—perhaps most of all—fi nding a place to call home. We asked the Cal Shakes community (patrons, donors, Spunk cast and creative team, social media friends and followers, staff, and interns) to tell us what songs have fueled their journeys—literal and metaphorical—from Point A to Point B. Below is a list of some of our favorite submissions. “I have to say after all these years ‘Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands’ still stops me dead in my tracks.” Christine, via email “‘The Story’ by Brandi Carlile and ‘You Belong to Me’ by Patsy Cline.” Former Cal Shakes staffer Dana Mathes, via Facebook “‘Running on Empty’ by Jackson Browne.” Longtime Cal Shakes house staffer Carol Marshall, via Facebook “Dolly Parton’s ‘Travelin’ Thru,’ Pachelbel’s Canon—my husband thinks it is just horrible (sentimental, pathetic) but he has promised to play it at my funeral if the occasion arises. And seriously, speaking of husbands, I also love Paul Dresher’s ‘Racer’—it has inspired me on my journey.” Cal Shakes Resident Dramaturg Philippa Kelly, via email “Been listenin’ nonstop to ‘Confi rmation’ by Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker. So good. Has me diggin’ deeper into Spunk.” Tilghman (Tyee Tilghman, Spunk cast member), via Twitter “Pretty Vacant,” ShakesCar, via Twitter Keep your eye on calshakes.org/blog this month for details on Blithe Spirit’s crowd-sourced contest! “‘This Year’ by the Mountain Goats and ‘I See Dark’ by Laura Stevenson & the Cans.” Wyatt Hi-Hat Miller, via Facebook “‘Say Hey’ by Michael Franti & Spearhead.” Reuben Greenwald, via Facebook “‘I’m Considering a Move to Memphis,’ by the Colorblind James Experience.” Cal Shakes Grants Manager Andrew Page, via Facebook “‘Sigh No More’ helped me get through a traumatic breakup. I bless the day that Mumford and Sons came into existence!” rschweiss79, via Twitter “’Living in the U.S.A.,’ Steve Miller Band.” Mark Bailey, via Facebook
