A Spadecaller poem,"The Ghost of My Brother Lost," is featured in this video of Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax in their splendid performance of Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata Op.19-3. Included are paintings by J.M.W. Turner and Ivan Aivazovsky with artwork by Spadecaller. The Ghost of My Brother Lost By Spadecaller From the tree the last apple Fell to earth alone Spoiled by summers touch Yellow-scarred, burned with rust. Wasting in the barley grass In the froth of golden hops Hides a bitter soul, The ghost of my brother lost. How loved he was! Will he ever know? For envy casts fond memories off Into stormy seas green with greed Like old whiskey bottles bobbing blind. In the shadows of his fathers tomb He pillaged his brothers birthright share And now upon stiffened knees he stands aloft A barren tree in a field of forgotten love. "Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." Abraham Lincoln

Season 4, Episode 75 The Elwood City Library is looking for a musician to perform for the children's show later in the week. D.W. suggests that they find the guy who wrote Crazy Bus, her favorite song. Arthur and his friends are immediately annoyed, so they choose to find a musician instead. Francine's father suggests that they hire Joshua Redman, Francine's uncle, who is also a jazz musician. But when Grandma Thora takes D.W. to a concert, D.W. decides for herself that the musician she wants to invite to the library is Yo-Yo Ma. Yo-Yo Ma and Joshua Redman guest star as themselves.
