Today is a big day for Blues in the Schools so I was up "late" last night prepping this newsletter so I can hit send before I head out the door this morning at 7am to start setting up for our morning program at Woodland Junior High (read more below.) "Up above my head" is the theme for this year's program....a chance to reach and teach about the music and the opportunity blues music gives people to
about important aspects of their lives.
By the time Friday is over Ozark Blues Society will have had the honor of bringing blues history and music to well over 600 seventh grade students in Fayetteville Public Schools. As the Blues Education Coordinator and part-time presenter I SO appreciate this opportunity to reach out and connect with today's young people
and offer them the opportunity to learn more about the how's and why's that
came together to form this amazing true American art form...the Blues.
And as always, please remember I need artists and readers to help me get linked up to events you have or know about, especially if the events aren't posted to the local calendars. Send any
ideas or comments to me anytime at:
