We put on shows there, 31 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:20.439 they provide audiences to us and it's a wonderful thing and we really pleased 32 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.599 that they recognize that and started something that will carry on through all the other 33 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:29.080 five and three seas. This is great, like to say, playing together, 34 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.199 it's all good. Now, I hear. We've got this little festival 35 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:38.680 coming up here and something for kids to a thing especially for kids. We're 36 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.879 so proud is going to kick off this Friday, and so we kick off 37 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.840 with SunFest. We're excited to partner with them or them letting us come as 38 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.199 guest. And so we'll have Mike Loman who is a Native Choctaw, and 39 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.000 he will be doing hoop dancing. He will teach them sort of the cultural 40 00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.360 aspects of the heritage of hoop dancing. Every time will receive a hula hoop 41 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:06.280 by some very very nice, anonymous downers um in town. And then every 42 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.840 time we'll also receive a bell that gets to come to that. And so 43 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.719 we're very excited. I actually need to clarify that it is the first I 44 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.840 believe hundred and fifty children who come um. But hopefully we'll give all of 45 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.360 those away and I think the kids are going to have an amazing time out 46 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.759 at SunFest. That of course will be at the bandshell and it's at six 47 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.919 pm. That's on Friday. That's on Friday. Well, you're not gonna 48 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.479 be too far away. From where we are. We'll be broadcasting live. 49 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.759 We'll just send them out that way. Check out. Yeah, it's amazing. 50 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.639 I mean, Mike is not only infamous and talented, but just to 51 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.439 watch the kid's faces, to learn about that cultural experience and to learn about 52 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.719 the art of hoop dancing is really fun to watch. Mike gives a hoop, 53 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.960 he will have five hoop's going and say, well, he's dancing. 54 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.360 Well, yes, well, I'm gonna have to break away to go see 55 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.400 that myself. I'm gonna, you know, you see, thanks, you 56 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.240 hear things. I gotta see this one to believe it. So definitely, 57 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.159 yeah, that'd be cool. So bring your family out there and see that 58 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.879 too. On the next day after Friday, we have our very beloved and 59 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.599 very popular tea for children. It was historically known as the Princess Tea. 60 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.279 It's kind of morphed in. Every year we have sort of a new theme 61 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.399 on that carrying on, and this year it is Mary Poppins, and Mary 62 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.560 Poppins and Bert will be at the tea to greet all of our guests and 63 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.120 to have their pictures made with kids. So I think we are almost sold 64 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.720 out. We have sixty four spots, and when I left last night, 65 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.639 or when Rose left, our development director of children's programming, she said that 66 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.279 we were at sixty two. So that is fantastic. So I check the 67 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.839 website, folks, I'm assuming, yes, okay, our music dot Org. 68 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:47.879 I'm assuming when I go in this morning, she's going to tell me 69 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.920 we're sold out. The next day, we're doing something new and we are 70 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.600 partnering with Boots and Brushes here locally in town, and we're going to have 71 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.600 two paint immersion experiences. The first one is geared for more of our younger 72 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.079 audience and they're going to come in and learn about a very famous painter by 73 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.240 the name of Kendinski and they will get to paint sort of an abstract piece 74 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.920 of art to go with that. Following that, we have an afternoon session 75 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.560 for kids and they will be sort of doing more of an impressionistic type of 76 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:21.000 piece that pairs with music. So we're very excited about this. Every kid 77 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.120 will get a canvas, get to paint, and take it home. So 78 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.279 that's exciting and well, right there, that's fun for a day. Right 79 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.160 there. I think I want to paint. I do too, Right now, 80 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.560 I think that my dog would like to paint. Also, that night 81 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.360 we partner with our favorite Bartlesville radio. We're going to do Boogie Beeg. 82 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.879 So we're excited about that. Families have already started coming into the office to 83 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.000 pick up their Bingo cards. They get a ten dollars a gift card to 84 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.199 Dominoes and it's a very fun family event. We'll be doing three rounds and 85 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.519 give away three prizes for that day night, so you can't beat that. 86 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.519 It's all free and I think it's going to be fun. I'm going to 87 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.920 be on the radio. I've never done it before, so see what happens. 88 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.519 Okay, a lot of fun. I think it'll be exciting. Oh 89 00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.519 man, this is gonna be a hoo. Well else we get cooking. 90 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.720 So then we go to let's see Monday where we start sort of our story 91 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.879 time and music and so we have on Monday and Tuesday, we have five 92 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.920 different stories and five different musical instruments that will work different story times that will 93 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.399 be shared with the kids. Every child will leave with a book, and 94 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.040 some of them will leave in different sessions. Maybe there will be stuffed animals 95 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.680 that they get to take home because there's a book about zoo animals going to 96 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.480 an orchestra event and so they get an animal, so that's kind of fine. 97 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.680 And they will also be giving violins. On Tuesday, we have a 98 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.120 sort of special day. There's two different stories. The first story is about 99 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.120 an orchestra violin and then the second story is about a fiddle, and so 100 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.800 every child will receive a violin and they will learn how the violin can also 101 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.600 become a fiddle. So that's very exciting. That night we kick off in 102 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.680 Tulsa with our puppet theater by Stone, which will be very exciting. And 103 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.040 then on Wednesday we have two puppet sessions here back in Bartlesville, so that's 104 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.120 also going to be fun. Those always, I always say sell out. 105 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.519 That's not the right word. These are all free events, but they always 106 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.240 reserve at capacity, So make sure you go on okay a Music dot org 107 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.839 and get your reservation because they do fill up quickly. We don't want anybody 108 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:29.199 left out. We go get you in. So I'm not sure if I'm 109 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.959 on camera here, you are right. So this is a passport that we 110 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.959 give away every year. It talks about all of the events, It talks 111 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:40.240 about the times it has games and activities and this year, we have a 112 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:45.959 very special concert that is being put on by Lisa Steele's piano students, and 113 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.360 we're very excited about that. That will be Wednesday night at Ambler Hall six 114 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.720 pm. Again free to everyone, so we want to make sure that we 115 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.360 come out and support those kids and their talents and all of their hard work. 116 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.879 It's going to be a beautiful concert, and we're calling at Twinkle Twinkle, 117 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.759 Little Star, but they're really big stars, so come out and support 118 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:11.639 our stars.

Well, you picked a 127 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.440 good one for that you know, but she is amazing. She is Bartlesville's 128 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.399 Alicia Keys.

But the thought of dealing with the 155 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.519 large dealerships is just too intimidating, too confusing. There is an easier way, 156 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.559 tall Grass Motors. Tall Grass Motors doesn't play all the confusing games a 157 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.919 large dealerships play.

They are amazing. They are going to become 174 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.679 superstars. I really believe that they just won two Premies.

It's our first day to do you attribute to praise 178 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:28.080 and worship, so we're really excited about that. We have Fosspel, we 179 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.000 have our very own local Pearl Gracing Company, and then we have Katie Nicole, 180 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.559 who also is an amazing upcoming rising star. She has a beautiful voice. 181 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.720 Her story is absolutely inspirational, so I really encourage people to go to 182 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.399 Okayama music dot org and check out her story. She had a lot of 183 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.559 really serious health battles that really inspired where she is today and then through her 184 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.720 healing, her music just exudes praise, worship. It's just it's beautiful music, 185 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.679 and I really encourage everyone to come out for that. It's going to 186 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.759 be a special day. And of course our own board member Brent Gettons is 187 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.240 going to be putting on a showcase and he's going to be doing a tribute 188 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.120 to country gospel, but also his own beloved, famous favorite Elvis. So 189 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.120 we want you to come out for some sweet tea and some Elvis on a 190 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.720 Sunday afternoon. Well, you know something, mary Lene and John, this 191 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.480 sounds like one that you better get that seat quick, yep, because tickets 192 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.879 are absolutely selling and as true to history to Bartlesville, it's kind of slow 193 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.799 at the beginning of May because it's just so crazy with graduation and Mother's Day, 194 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.360 people trying to move in and out from home from college whatever. And 195 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:43.519 then after Memorial Day it always goes crazy. And so yesterday the phones were 196 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.000 on fire. Poor Rose. She was just like literally on the phone all 197 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.600 day. But she came back at the end of the day she said, 198 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.120 I'm just so happy. She said, We've just sold so many tickets, 199 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.720 and so she was very excited. Like I said, our children's programming is 200 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.679 about sold out. If you will, it's all free, but it's it's 201 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:05.360 almost it's almost reserved the capacity. The tickets for this are all selling out. 202 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.240 And then Dad, don't forget to tell him about Monday Night, which 203 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.639 is our very special Katie Mahan, who we love classical pianist, is coming 204 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.639 back to play with Escher for a very very special candlelight concert. And where 205 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.240 is that going to be held out It's going to be held in Tulsa at 206 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:28.360 the Mansion at the Garden Center. And it is a real Mozart. So 207 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.639 this is for the classical people. If they missed this, they missed the 208 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.080 miss We've got. She spent a year in Europe just going from the places 209 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:43.480 where abal he was born to where he died and doing things in between, 210 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.360 and so she's right up to date with his entire rect corps and we think 211 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.519 it's going to be a fantastic heving. Wow. She is probably one of 212 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.480 the most knowledgeable people about Mozart's life that I've ever met, and then just 213 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:03.200 also embrace herself in that culture. She did an entire series which we showcase 214 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.039 last year was really remarkable. But she also likes to play some of his 215 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.919 less name pieces. But I think the older I get, the more I'm 216 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.159 just he really was a genius. He was amazing and his music is just 217 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.120 beautiful. It's exquisite, and so we really hope that everyone will come join 218 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.360 us for that finale. I think it's going to be pretty amazing. Well 219 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.440 you got there, John Well, and that is such a program that we 220 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:30.320 have to kind of spread it out, so I had little breaks where there 221 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.000 will be wide treats and all kinds of things. Got some sideshows it is, 222 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.240 so it's going to be an event to see. So we're really pleased 223 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:45.159 with the entire package, and I like Marylyn's naming of it. It works 224 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.639 us through this. We hope everybody's going to go home we have a good 225 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.240 feeling. I'm sure they are. I'm sure right now. How do we 226 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.240 get a ticket so we can enjoy that good feeling right up close? So 227 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.200 you can go to the bartis Welcoming In Center buy your tickets in person. 228 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.399 You can come to the OKAM office at four or fifteen South Dewey and also 229 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.720 buy your tickets in person. You can go to the okayam Music dot org 230 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.639 website. You can go to the Bartlesville Community Center website. You can call 231 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.200 either office in person. We've tried to make it as easy as possible for 232 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.120 everyone to buy tickets, and so far it seems to be going well. 233 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.559 We haven't had that many complaints. I don't think we've had any actually, 234 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.720 so I think we've made it very simple. There are package deals if you 235 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.120 want to buy like maybe just the classical or if you want to buy some 236 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.759 of the more mainstage ones in Bartlesville. So we've tried to put together some 237 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.960 packages for people so they can save on the processing fees that go along with 238 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.399 buying each ticket individually. So hopefully that helps folks out. And then I 239 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.840 would be remiss if I didn't talk about Channel. Okay, my dog is 240 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:51.519 here not only because she's beloved by our patrons, but because not only is 241 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.600 music healing and therapeutic for humans, it is also healing and therapeutic for pets. 242 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.519 And so our interns have written an article for this program, for this 243 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:07.160 year's program about the therapeutic benefits of music and pets. And so I'm bringing 244 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.119 Chanelle today as a testament that she has a great deal of separation anxiety. 245 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.759 And when we leave her, we always put on classical music for pets, 246 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.920 and I have a camera where I can watch her, and I will tell 247 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.640 you if I forget to put that on. She walks around and you can 248 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.960 see her panting and she's kind of frantic. When I put that music on, 249 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.400 she just jumps in her chair and she sleeps. So there really is 250 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:33.440 a benefit to helping your pet be calm and they This article also talks about 251 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.880 if you decided to play say like heavy metal, watch your dog kind of 252 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.920 go crazy. They'll be more agitated, they'll be more hypered, they might 253 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.519 be more in the mood to play, versus having some very nice classical on. 254 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.720 They get calm, they are soothed. It's you know, but it's 255 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.160 it's kind of a thing, and we don't always think about that. So 256 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.359 we encourage people to, you know, play music for your pets, see 257 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.160 what their mood changes to and just see the therapeutic benefits of it. So 258 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.359 wonderful anyway, it works on people too. We're being trained. Oh yeah, 259 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.599 yeah, I'm feeling calm right now. Well, thank you very much 260 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.319 for being here with us, and let's paint the barn and put it on 261 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.440 a show. As they say, all right, thank you so much, 262 00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.000 Tom. We can't wait to see you all.
