Something about going by The Keeper in reference to like. The consciousness. Like. Or the body. The thing that contains the fronter. Or the system overall. Idk
There's a statue in my hometown called the Keeper of the Plains. It would connect to not just the meaning I've been looking for, but the several layers of sentiment, And a connection to my ancestry

On my American wake.
According to Irishcentral.com, an American wake is a term that "...originated in rural Ireland in the 1800s at a time of poverty and famine, when emigration to America meant a one-way ticket and never seeing your family again."

Jonathan Eltis – Dramaturge, Assistant Producer.
Tumblr media
I am so very thrilled to be a part of Seasons: A Magical Musical. From inception to stage, this project as with many large shows I have worked on over the years has been demanding and enriching, and we aren’t done yet! I draw on my vast experience of theatre acting on stage at the community level in Lindsay Ontario and directing productions at the elementary school level for tweet your five years. I have scored music for choirs and directed those same choirs drawing on my love of soul and gospel music.
Larger scale shows that I have worked on have been about bringing different groups together and building community. I ran the Community Performance Stage for RiverFest in Lindsay Ontario. I have directed stage entertainment for Canadian Parents for French fundraisers for several years bringing together French Immersion and Core French students from both public and catholic school boards. I contributed theatrical and musical direction to each of these events as well as having scheduled the other talent for those evenings.
Since arriving in Vancouver three years ago, I have been working in the film and television industry as an actor with a dozen principal commercial roles along with twenty supporting and principal roles in various independent films. My most recent film acting work will premier at HotDocs in 2018. This new career path has seen me immerse myself in scene study working under and collaborating with some of the top talent that Vancouver has to offer in both learning my craft and developing my instrument as well as creating new work for the world to view. Networking in the film and television world of Vancouver has allowed me to attract some great talent to this show to help bring it alive.
I am principally a musician, composer, singer, song writer at heart. I write in both French and in English. I continue to collaborate on music with local musicians as I did back in south Central Ontario. I am presently recording new tracks for a CD release. Parallel to all of this, I am composing music for and developing a story line for my own ballet.

Gnome capital?????
Today You Learned about Gnometown, USA, although most maps probably marked it as Dawson, Minnesota. They decided that they needed A Thing to differentiate them from other towns, and so it became gnomes. They have a bunch of gnomes around town, and on their Riverfest Celebration they add new gnomes to the town’s collection.
Tumblr media
It’s worth noting though that these aren’t just any gnomes–all of the official gnomes that they have around are actually based on people from town who have made notable contributions to the community. Their website has a list of some of the gnomes and their stories, based on the lives of their inspirations.
Also! They didn’t have a Riverfest in 2020 because of the pandemic, and no new gnome. Instead they celebrated the gnomes’ victory over the troll Covidius P. Evilson the  19th. You can probably guess what that’s about.
