Andrew Odom profiles Brown Woodworks in Herrin, a family run shop with a strong tradition of craft and teaching. Bergen Dewees opened the cabinet shop in 1945, mentored Robert Brown who kept the business after Dewees’ 1965 death, and later shifted to furniture repair. Brown then taught wood shop and building trades, mentoring students who later returned to work at the shop.

Latoya Parkinson, 12, performed Hoe down and Chimes, noting contrasts between the faster piece and the slower, expressive hymn.
