Getting On
All good things must end
No use to pretend
Though the tears may fall, we will remember
What a race we ran,
walking hand in hand
Every memory is framed in splendor
Holding on
Somehow, we go on
Keep each other strong,
though we're getting on
No matter when we part
we're standing heart to heart
Every end's a start, and then it's gone
Getting on
Look at what we are
Just a shooting star
Now you see us, now you don't
Then you won't
But the light still shines
bending space and time
‘Round and ‘round the sky it goes
and no one knows
We're holding on
Somehow we go on
Keep each other strong
though we're getting on
No matter when we part,
we are standing heart to heart
Every end's a start, and then it's gone
Getting on
Getting on

For the first time, Janis will be giving her 5-day series "A Master Class In Artistry" during each of the Swannanoa Gathering weeks. Time of her classes is TBA; please check the website for more information. The 5 day class covers everything from the origins of artists to physicalization, songwriting for profit and not so much, performance, the need to be brave, how to survive as an artist in the modern world, and why bother. Points are illustrated with songs and playing as she takes us on a journey that begins with the first caveman to tell a story and continues through the myth of the artist as "crazy", the need for silence, and why she believes "art saves". Drawing on her 55 years of experience in the entertainment industry and her ten years with Stella Adler, presented with humor and grace, brutally honest, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her students.
