Spider- How about some electric blues from Tommy Castro......(look on You Tube for Tommy Castro and a song called "Nasty Habits"). Check out the organ player on the song. He's out of San Francisco.]]> Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:42:24 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29253&title=pendleton-arts-center#29253 Pendleton Arts Center??? : Thanx for the kind words, Mr.G.

Thanx for the kind words, Mr.G.
I have honestly never heard the Grascals, and the opener that night--Josh Williams--is creating huge interest. So it should be ANOTHER wonderful show.
 
Hoping for a very enjoyable season between the two campuses.
The entire series is an excellent value, and would cost 5x in any major city(where these same acts regularly sell out). Remember--at MHS this year while Dave Finkleman gets a re-do. Look forward to an incredible return the following season. Requests?
 
Ben Harper?
John Hiatt?
Bruce Hornsby?
Richard Thompson?
Stanley Clark?
Maura O,Connell?
Abigail Washburn?
Leslie West?
Darrell Scott?
 
How about a 40-year reunion with Country Joe and Edgar Winter?

So excited The Grascals are coming to the MU-M series in December! Great band -- just picked up three nominations last week for the International Bluegrass Music Awards including Entertainer of the Year, which they've won twice in the past. It's been a few years since I've seen them, and they've added a female banjo picker since then, so it'll be interesting to watch their new dynamics on stage. ]]> Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:41:25 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29247&title=pendleton-arts-center#29247 Pendleton Arts Center??? : thanx squeem--much appreciatedgood... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29215&title=pendleton-arts-center#29215 Author: spiderjohn

thanx squeem--much appreciated
good seasons ahead for the mu-h and mu-m music series
Sam Bush is leading in sales locally(my pick)--he is a very enjoyable show
Bela is the real deal--caught his band at Fraze 2 weeks ago--doesn't get any better if you like that kind of thing
 
mu-h is the best lineup at an outstanding season ticket value
don't miss Turtle String Quartet(opening show), Tim O'Brien/Bryan Sutton or the African band in their return.
imo Parrish Auditorium(seats 440) is one of the best sounding venues around
 
we can see the top musicians on the planet with no hassle and a less than 30 minute drive

just wanted to let spider know that as another native-who-cares, I appreciate all he's done and in spite of the headwinds, continues to contribute in a significant way. he has more than earned his right to rant.

not a bad taste in music either. hang in there spider, you've got more of us behind you than you might realize.

Pac- bottom line the PAC deal is and was from the get go a bottle of CRAP.  Have eaten lunch also like SJ and when I leave I wish I would have gotten a Chicago dog from the hotdog dude.  Could there be 53 vendors in the building,  Yes.  I have, since your post on the 15th asked 7 people who either know the art business in town, or who work for the city and NO one knows.  I will pose this question to our new downtown czar when we get to hear from them at a council meeting.  Never thought I would say this but if I could just sell my house(not give it away) I'd most likely move, the wife is already packed.  Watched that very nice young lady at council who wants and believes in those street lamps, just bought the house on south main and shes a believer, we need more just like her.  Trust me after a year or a half go by  I'll be tracking her down to listen to her views on how this Admin. runs this town.  RANTING will be missed if this country,state,town if our citizens don't get their sh-t together.  Every day someone else brings up the dumbing down of America and when is enough a enough.  100's of  volunteer hours put in by several posters on this site, don't like what or who you read, SKIP IT and throw down some solutions of your own.  Not just a feel good paint job on a very serious WASTE of MY money.  ]]> Fri, 19 Aug 2011 21:54:38 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29191&title=pendleton-arts-center#29191 Pendleton Arts Center??? : Spiderjohn The annual cost for... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29188&title=pendleton-arts-center#29188 Author: Vivian Moon

Spiderjohn

The annual cost for upkeep on the garage and Swallens was $90,000.
We were told that this $90,000 savings was going to pay off the bond for removal of the mall roof…Well that ain't going to happen.
What do you think the annual cost for all these new buildings and the Manchester Inn will be??? Do you hear that sucking sound?..That’s our tax money going down that black hole known as downtown.

Maybe Middletown29 needs to study the Citys finicial reports and maybe in a few weeks he will be ranting and raveing also..

Easy answer M29
Because I have lived here for my entire life.
Childhood, school years, worker/business owner, family man and concerned citizen.
Love my home, it's people and the area.
So much that I can't stand what our elected officials, their staff and enablers have brought on everyone.

Instead of uniting the entire community and making our city whole with jobs related to our skills and beyond + producing a diverse retail/service environment necessary to create a better quality of life in order to retain our best/brightest plus draw new young families, those in control have chosen to increase poverty and decrease public safety. To ignore the entire community to once again concentrate on the terminally ill area formerly known as "downtown"(the black hole of our tax $$). To spend huge money on a seldom used poorly planned bike path instead of keeping Sunset Pool. To rush into expensive building purchases with no REAL plan for usage and very costly maintenance(guess in what part of town!). Do you really need more? This is almost too depressing to type.

So--to turn the tables-- what about the current directions of our local government do you see as beneficial to the ENTIRE community. Quit using demeaning personal shots and get down to the business of improving our lives!

We don't have to serve on local govt to care, voice thoughts and/or work within the community(which I do on a regular basis). Actually we can probably accomplish more for the benefit of everyone by acting outside of the current system IMO.]]> Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:49:44 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29185&title=pendleton-arts-center#29185 Pendleton Arts Center??? : John,If you go to the Pendleton... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4060&PID=29182&title=pendleton-arts-center#29182 Author: Pacman

John,
 
If you go to the Pendleton Art Center website at http://www.pendletonartcenter.com/index.html you'll be able to count the number of artist that are listed under the Middletown section.
