I think it was stated so well when Betty Davis said, "Hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride." I had no idea just how true this statement would be for the cast of "110 In The Shade" and all of us directing, assistant directing, musical arrangers etc.... This is my first musical to direct and all though I come from a long line of theatrical talent, I never anticipated all this but, as Tom Hanks put it, "If it were easy everyone would do it, it's the hard that makes all worth it." Let me tell you,...
Every year we celebrate the month of May by honoring our Mothers. Motherhood by my opinion is the most important, influential, underestimated, heartwarming, job known to mankind. Mothers have the power to change the world through the parenting of their children, either positively or negatively. As one quote states; "A Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible." - Marion C. Garretty. Please join with us as we celebrate the "Brave Mothers" of Family Life...
Your writer remembers (years ago) when Memorial Day (before it became just another three-day weekend celebrated on the last Monday in May rather than May 30 as it had been for years) was set aside for special events and services honoring our various branches of military who had died. It was a big deal. In more recent times it seems that we just get too busy to remember what Memorial Day really is all about. But, if you ask someone who has served their country, it still is a big deal to honor the...
I recently spent a day out at Joshua Tree National Park. I was participating in a writing workshop. They included a Ranger in just about every activity, and they told some interesting facts about the Park. This time the Ranger had some information about Joshua Trees. One of the first items was that the biologists are splitting the Joshua Tree in to two species. If you’ve paid attention, then you may have noticed that the Joshua Trees around here, like the ones that dominate Joshua Tree N...
True, Gilroy has the Garlic Festival, but Bakersfield is hosting the Second Annual Nut Festival, Saturday, June 7, at the historic Kern County Museum. In 2009 Bob Price, an editor with the Bakersfield Californian, wondered why Kern County, a major agricultural area, did not have an agricultural festival. The seed was planted (yes, pun intend) and a group of local businesses and civic leaders met to discuss the possibility, but plans were shelved due to economic hard times. Sheryl Barbich and...
All hail to the upcoming summer. I love watching the sun rise over the eastern hills. It is moving farther north every day and is almost beyond the cedar tree barrier in my yard now. The trees are more leafed out and with the sun sparkling on them, their greenness brightens each new day. Can you tell spring is my favorite season? This spring in Tehachapi has been glorious. With the onset of gardening, I have less time for reading; a yearly trade off that I always try to pretend does not exist....
I feel that, in my last column, I had done the French Hotel an injustice by somewhat skirting over its past. I had placed it, rather abruptly, on the corner of Green and F streets, without enough ceremony. A whole page of history was glossed over, and I'd like to go back and give you "the rest of the story." As aforementioned, The Summit School was a beautifully structured building where the ancestors of early settlers studied as well as the children of an influx of Spanish and French Basque,...
