FM #1491 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1491 in the series.

This session shares my conversation with Kaye Kelly, musician, teacher, arts advocate and now author of her first book; "The Modern Creative: A Practical Guide for 21st Century Artists." We had our discussion on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 in the Franklin TV & Radio Studio.

We talk about

Kaye’s life in Franklin
Teaching at Berklee, raising a family, performing
Leading to her first book
Ear training, a real thing for aspiring musicians
Flexibility and grace in living the artist life

The recording runs about 34 minutes, so let’s listen in.
