Interview with: Larry and Carla Sue
- Bio: Larry and Carla Sue both started learning to ring in 1987… just 6,000 miles apart. They became acquainted on the Handbell Community in 2007, and in 2009 moved to Facebook and Skype. After finding out just how Made for Each Other they were, they became engaged at the Bay View Week of Handbells in 2011. In August 2012, Larry took a trip to pick Carla up in England, and they returned to the USA, first for Bay View, and then to move to California where they now live. Interesting fact: Carla's first night in America was spent in the elegant accommodations in Gate K-1 of O'Hare (maybe you don't want to do this…). They were married in September 2012, and have been spending lots of time learning the eight-bell music that they've been selling at Choraegus ShareMusic.

Interview with: Stevie Berryman
- Bio:
- A hard-working Luthedist, Stevie Berryman serves as the Director of Handbells at Kinsmen Lutheran Church and Lakewood United Methodist Church. She also volunteers her assistance with the fourth grade chimes choirs at Hassler Elementary School, placing her as director, assistant, or ringer in eight different bell rehearsals a week. Stevie began ringing handbells 20 years ago as a founding member of the Soli Deo Gloria Youth Handbell Choir at St. Stephen's UMC in Broken Arrow, OK. She's been ringing ever since all over the country, and is a former member of the Houston Bronze Ensemble. She has a particular passion for teaching children how to ring, and her innovative methods have made her a sought after educator at handbell festivals. When not in rehearsal, Stevie teaches music at Kinsmen Children's Academy. Stevie also plays violin and piano, and especially enjoys those times she can perform with her husband Paul, and their children Evan and Portia. She is also a founding member and President of the Board of Directors for the Houston Chamber Ringers.

Handbell Podcast Season 8 Show 01 – Interview with: Kristine Stout – Recorded 11/29/2013
By Dean | January 29, 2013
Sponsors
This show is being sponsored by our good friend Tim Waugh. Please check out his music featured at Jeffers Handbell Supply. – http://handbellworld.com/
Interview with: Kristine Stout
- Bio:
- Kristine Stout is a mother of three and grandmother of four living in Clinton Township, Michigan with her husband Kirt. Kristine has been playing the piano since she was eight years old, and her mother and grandmother were both piano teachers and church musicians. She studied music at Central Michigan University and has been playing handbells solo since 1995. Her daughter Heidi graduated from Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2002 and she and her husband Paul live in Seymour, Indiana, and are both teachers. Kristine’s step-son Jacob graduated Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio in May of 2008 as an elementary education/music major. He and his wife Tiffany live in Williamsburg, Michigan. And her daughter Connie graduated high school in December 2003 and lives in Kalkaska, Michigan. Her grandchildren are Nickodeamus , Alexandria, Hazel, and Seamus (pronounced Shay-mus). Her husband Kirt was an engineer and surveyor at their former residence (Kalkaska, Michigan), and was general manager at “The Joybell Theater and Gift Shop”, which the two of them owned and operated from 2002 through 2009, and he is now full time business manager for “Joybell”, their traveling handbell ministry. Together they travel all over the United States, averaging 150 shows per year.
- Solo ringing is a fairly rare form of musical expression. Normally, for 37 handbells there are 11 or 12 people to play them. This is called a handbell choir. To ring all these bells all by yourself is not usual. Kristine’s solo ringing combines her special choreography with handbell “weaving”, a way of handling the handbells so they remain in keyboard order throughout a song. There are quite a few soloists in the world, but Kristine is one of only a handful of professional soloists in the United States. She has over 100 songs memorized now, and has produced 7 CDs and a DVD/video presentation called “The Joybell Show”. Visit her website at www.joybelltheater.com, and follow her on “Facebook”.
