The Marchese Hendricks Project

04/18/2024

Cindy and I went to the Argenta Contemporary Theatre tonight to see “Beautiful — the Carole King Musical.” The title role was wonderfully performed by a young lady who was the female vocalist for The Marchese Hendricks Project for some 15 years — Jessica Lauren Mylonas.
To no one’s surprise, she nailed the part. To MY surprise, I got a little “happy-weepy” on a couple occasions. Jess first sang a lot of the tunes in the show in our band — MHP. So, tonight brought back some nice memories.
WTG, Girl.

What great time with the Hall High Class of 1968 Reunion last night! Even with air conditioning issues at the Delta Hotel, the partiers were dancing and singing along with MHP! Thanks for having us as the soundtrack for your reunion! Let’s do it again in five!

This Arkansas Treasure is still doing her thing as a literary change agent. I remember having her in my English classroom through the Artists in the Schools program years ago.

Crescent Dragonwagon was in her 20s when she wrote a story told entirely in dialogue between a mother and her child. Now, she's updating her 1977 text with new illustrations by Jessica Love.

Love this. Thanks to PBS for keeping their priorities intact while most media go crazy.

From Kelsey Peterson to Gaelynn Lea, Lachi, and Ryan J. Haddad, and beyond, meet some of the performing artists with disabilities who are breaking down barriers for those to come, in the worlds of dance, theater and music.

Don’t let anyone convince you that arts education is not the foundation of all meaningful learning.

If you wonder how important arts education is to students, don't listen to us, hear it directly from a student at Parkview. theafoundation.org/support

"I couldn’t choose just one story of how Mr. Bailey has supported me. He’s helped me grow as an artist, but as a person as well by doing things ranging from giving me hard to hear (yet very much necessary) critiques to presenting me with college scholarship opportunities so I can pursue a higher education and strive for excellence. Not all teachers truly care about their student’s success, but Mr Bailey does everything in his power when it comes to helping students reach even beyond their goals."

Big fun last night at the Oyster Bar with Joe and Gigi Parkhill, who joined us on Love, Rescue Me, Here Comes the Sun, In My Life, and Let it Be to close the first set. We had a great crowd of friends and family who helped us cheer on the Hogs to a victory over Ole Miss and sing along on some classics. Thanks to everyone for joining us! We’ll be back at the Oyster Bar on Friday, December 2, in the bar again from 6-9, so mark your calendar and come hear some great tunes.
