Save the date--for the Folly Theater

Bill Shapiro of KCUR and "Cyprus Avenue" fame, is sponsoring a fundraiser for our own Folly Theater again, God bless him. This time, he's having singer/songwriter Sam Baker Saturday, August 25 at 8 pm, in case you missed last evening's show. Besides being able to enjoy Mr. Baker's wonderful, soulful, heartfelt music--live, at that--you can help a terrific and very worthwhile cause, our own Folly Theater.

Finally, the tickets are extremely reasonable, beginning at only $10 each with the best seats in the house going for only $20 to $35, a real bargain.

They go on sale this Monday morning. You can find more information at the first link below, especially. Phone the Folly box office this Monday at 816-474-4444

It's Mr. Shapiro's goal to fill all 1,082 seats that night.

Let's help make it happen.

Great quote today

As always, I was listening to KCUR 89.3 FM, the local NPR (National Public Radio) station and Bill Shapiro's show, "Cyprus Avenue" was on. It was his 2nd hour and it was a replay of one he did on Johnny Cash.

Anyway, Mr. Shapiro--because I don't know him--was speaking of the capitalization of country music which, he said, gave us the "putrid pablum of Taylor Swift."



I laughed out loud.

And I was in my car.



Have a great weekend, y'all. (I'll be writing tomorrow).
