"The
Music Man" marches on to stage at Sams
Last summer audiences
packed the Willie Duke Auditorium at Starr's Mill High School to take
in Fayette Players and Community Theatre's production of "The Sound
of Music." This summer the local theatre group will present another
beloved musical classic, "The Music Man," at Sams Auditorium
in Fayetteville and those associated with Fayette Players are sure audiences
will be as enchanted with this show as they were with "The Sound
of Music."
Golden
Oldies - Drifters and Marvelettes come to town
The
songs that are deemed "oldies" appeal to and are familiar

Thoughts
go overseas this week
This is the first
year that my friend, Chris, will not be stateside for the Fourth of
July. This year, he celebrates Independence Day in Tikrit. Though he
still follows Red Sox baseball here and there through use of the Internet
and watches DVDs on his portable DVD player on those rare occasions
that he gets the chance, the Fourth of July will likely be just another
day as he counts down to that box on the calendar where he gets to come
home.
