How do you summarize the life work of an artist? How do you condense and focus on the essentials of an artist’s entire career? Especially when confronted with a body of work as large and varied as Tret Fure’s.

Like her namesake The Furies, Tret is sometimes angry, beautiful, and dark. A warrior whose flaming sword is her voice – and whose shining shield is her wit and the inventiveness of her writing. She comes flying in on her guitar steed ready for battle with red eyes speaking truth to power and exposing hypocrisy.

And yet, Tret always gives us hope, a path through the madness of our world. And I like to think that this is largely due to the love and support of her family. I mean, isn’t it our families and friends that keep us all from going off the rails?

I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes pod cast. Welcome to part two of two episodes where we’ll continue our interview with the multi-talented, Tret Fure.
In this episode we’ll discuss Tret’s advocacy, her family and what’s next for the talented singer songwriter performer teacher and pet portraitist. If you haven’t listened to Part One, I highly recommend that you go back and give it a listen before listening to this episode

This episode’s artist career spans the decades since the early 70s all the way to today. With 18 albums and hundreds of songs, she has continued to grow and evolve over the years. Her talent and advocacy are second to none. To say she is prolific is an understatement. One of the hardest working people I know, she continues to record, tour and teach, live and online.
From the first time I met Tret Fure long, long, ago I fell in love with her voice, her guitar, and her song writing. A lot has changed since then so let’s cut my intro short and get on to the interview.

Imagine that you write and perform your own children’s songs. For years you have been performing these songs in various schools and school systems across the country. Songs that you wrote and have been playing in the same schools for years. And then imagine that someone in the school system suddenly decides that your songs are not appropriate for children because they encourage bad behavior. Then another school system hears about it and they ban you and your songs as well? Soon the entire country is reconsidering their take on your brand of children’s songs. What happens next? What do you do? Where can you turn?

Pura Vida. I’m Tim Rose and this is the Tim Tunes podcast. In his episode we’ll be interviewing Barry Louis Polisar. Barry is a renowned singer/songwriter, performer, poet and novelist. His career spans almost 5 decades and has so many twists and turns we’ll need two episodes to fit them all in. In this episode we’ll discover Barry’s beginnings: how he started and what led him to success he’s had as a writer of children’s songs. So, sit back, buckle up and come along for the ride.
