15
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.359

23
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 3>if people haven't gotten on yet to see the kids programming,

24
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>we have a few spots that are still open for

25
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 3>a few of our things. But I are a few

26
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 3>of our events, but I encourage people to get on

27
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>there and get your spot reserved because they are many

28
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 3>of them almost I think over half of them are

29
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 3>sold out, and so we do have a waiting list.

30
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 3>So if you still want to go to something, call rows,

31

<v Speaker 3>go online see what you really want to go to.

32
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 3>Call the office at nine one eight three three six

33
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 3>nine nine zero zero and get your spot in. But

34
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 3>we have the tea time on Saturday. We have still

35
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 3>our Dancing Eagles that night out at SunFest. We have

36
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 3>five story times on Monday and Tuesday. We have three

37
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 3>puppet shows on Tuesday night in Tulsa, and then three

38
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>more sets of puppet shows on Wednesday. Those are all

39
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 3>at Amber Hall. Those are amazing, They're fun. We had

40
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>those at Octoberfest and the dads even like them. In fact,

41
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Caleb Potter told me was like Mainland. The only complaint

42
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>I have about october Fest is that you had the

43
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 3>beer Stein holding competition at the same time you had

44
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 3>the puppet show. He was like, don't do that again.

45
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 3>I need to do both, and I said, okay, Caleb,

46
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 3>you got it. And then Thursday we have our really

47
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 3>fun Oh let me go back to Tuesday night we

48
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 3>have our Twinkle Big Stars performance with dlnn Everts Kids

49
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 3>they're going to come perform and sing for us. That's

50
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 3>going to be really fun. And then we have two

51
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 3>art immersions that are going to be great. We actually

52
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 3>opened up another session on Sunday, so people can go

53
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 3>check that out see if there's still some space available.

54
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 3>But then on Thursday we have another art immersion, we

55
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 3>have a ukulele and violin session. And then we have

56
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 3>our grand finale for the kids, which is a troll

57
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Jam party out at Unity Square, and so we have

58
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 3>the DJs coming. They're always crazy. We're gonna have dancing

59
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>and bubbles and games and fun and I think, I

60
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 3>don't know matter and madel and I just ordered I

61
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>think like seven different kinds of ice cream bars and popsicles,

62
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's going to be really good. And

63
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>adults can have it too. That's free. Everything is free

64
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 3>to the public and to the kids, except for the tea.

65
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 3>You do have to pay for that, but unfortunately it's

66
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 3>sold out, so if you want to go, get on

67
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 3>the wait list. We are super excited. And then of

68
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 3>course after that our main festival kicks off. That's on Friday,

69
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 3>June sixth. We have wool Rock that night and I

70
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 3>think it's going to be amazing. The weather's going to

71
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 3>be good. I'm just confident. I probably shouldn't say that

72
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 3>out loud anyway, But we have Grady Nichols opening for

73
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 3>us with Manhattan Chamber Players here. No, but he's fantastic

74
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 3>and so sweet. And this is actually the year of

75
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>okay A Music and Grady. He is coming to a

76
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>lot of our things. He's going to be performing at

77
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 3>the festival, He's going to be performing at Octoberfest. He

78
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 3>is bringing another musician with him and I think it's

79
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 3>going to be very fun. So he's going to do

80
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>some jazz polka, and then he's going to be performing

81
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>at Hashtag Giving Tuesday, and I think that's going to

82
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 3>be really fun. And he's going to do his I

83
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 3>think he's a Christmas album and so he's going to

84
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 3>be performing that for us and we're really excited. Yeah,

85
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>So it is the Year of Grady Nichols at okay

86
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.599
<v Speaker 3>and Music. Saturday Night on June seventh, we'll be in

87
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Tulsa at Cashall Hall. The Tulsa Honors Baroque Orchestra is

88
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 3>coming back. Those young students mixed in with probably about

89
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 3>ten adults who are professional musicians will be performing and

90
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 3>they are amazing, amazingly talented. They do a great job.

91
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 3>And then that night the main act is Natasha Perimski

92
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>and she is a beautiful pianist who we are very

93
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 3>excited to have and I'm super excited to meet her.

94
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 3>This will be her first time at Okay and Music

95
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 3>of course Manhattan Chamber of Players. This is their third

96
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 3>year to perform for us, so our second year, so sorry,

97
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 3>second year, third year for Esher, who is our finale

98
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 3>to perform with us, and so we're excited. We always

99
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 3>love having artists back, and I think it's a really

100
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 3>good testament to Bartlesville and hopefully to Okay and Music

101
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 3>that you know, we get calls after these festivals are

102
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 3>over and agents are like, hey, our guys would really

103
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 3>like to come back. They have an amazing time, and

104
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 3>so you know, it's a way for us to sort

105
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 3>of get that old, rekindled relationship with the artists that

106
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 3>we used to have when OKAM first started. And so

107
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 3>it's nice to have these guys back because people get

108
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 3>to know them. They see them at the restaurants, they

109
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 3>see them around town at Bowling Alley's obscure places, and

110
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:24.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, they get to know them, and so that

111
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 3>makes it even more special. Not only wonderful music, but hey,

112
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.279
<v Speaker 3>I know that guy he's playing and you know I

113
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 3>met him. He's super nice. And then on Sunday, June eighth,

114
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 3>we have our finale at the Refinery and we have

115
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Lisa Steele's students who will be performing for us. They're

116
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 3>amazingly talented. I think a couple of them may go

117
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 3>on to be concert pianists. So we highly encourage folks

118
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 3>to come out and hear them and clap for them,

119
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 3>support them. And then at seven o'clock is our beloved Quartet,

120
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>who is just one of the world's best quartets and

121
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 3>right here in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. So we're very excited for that.

122
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 3>But now to talk about the really good stuff, Tom,

123
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 3>because I think it includes you. We have you about

124
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 3>the good stuff. We have so many showcase events for

125
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 3>folks to come to and those are all free. Those

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.920

00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 3>those on Friday, June six we have the Bartlesville Ringers

131
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 3>playing all kinds of different music and so I think

132
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 3>people will really enjoy that. Come out. That's at first

133
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 3>pres Again, that's all free, but we do ask that

134

142

<v Speaker 3>full orchestra but on keyboards, and the sound is amazing.

152
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 3>These kids are amazingly talented at it, and they really

153
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 3>just have a really good time. We have a again

154
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 3>wide variety of music styles that they will be performing

155
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 3>to really show off those keyboards that are extremely expensive

156
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.639
<v Speaker 3>and very fancy, as my dad would call them, and

157
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 3>so we really really these kids are amazing. We had

158
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 3>our Christmas concert I mentioned I think last time I

159
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 3>was on here and we had over three hundred and

160
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 3>fifty people at that and it was fantastic, and so,

161
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's just something that we are the only

162
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 3>ones in northeast Oklahoma, actually the whole state of Oklahoma

163
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 3>that has a full year round program. We are pretty

164
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 3>confident that we are the only ones in the United

165
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 3>States that have a youth keyboard orchestra that is year round.

166
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 3>We haven't found another one, and so I think, you know,

167
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, it's pretty pretty darn exciting. But

168
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Lisa Stiehill does an amazing job, along with a lot

169
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 3>of other adults that help. And then our last performance,

170
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 3>one that is is a fan favorite is Brent Gooddens.

171
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 3>He will be performing as Elvis and so there you

172
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 3>go at four o'clock on Sunday and again free. So

173
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 3>nine one eight three three six nine nine zero zero

174
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 3>is the office number. You can come by and see Madeline.

182
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>My gosh it is.

183
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't know how you do this with

184
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>your your website, but every year it just keeps getting

185
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 1>better and better and easier and easier.

186
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 2>They have Even an.

187
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>Old guy like me can get on there and say, hey,

188
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty easy.

189
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 3>We are trying, you know. It always it's WordPress is

190
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 3>a fun, fun app. It always has a lot of

191
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 3>intricate details. So we have a lot of people. Jasell

192
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 3>who has been on here many times, one of our

193
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.799
<v Speaker 3>other summer a really full time interns. She is amazing

194
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 3>with it. And we have a lot of help from

195
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 3>other folks too that have to come in and help

196
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 3>us do some coding. But you know, it's one of

197
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 3>those things that, yeah, it's it is what it is,

198
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>and we hope that it's user friendly for people. I

199
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 3>buy tickets for people all the time on my phone

200
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 3>when I'm out and about, and so yeah, it's you

201
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 3>can do it on your phone, you can do it

202
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 3>on your iPad, your computer. Coming and see us coming

203
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 3>and see Madeline, tell her hi, meet her. Madelin helps

204
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 3>run our sugar Plum shop too. She and Katie work

205
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.080
<v Speaker 3>hard on that. In fact, her project this week is

206
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker 3>and we just got the news square, I guess reader,

207
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know all the fancy stuff that goes

208
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 3>with having scanners and bells and whistles and so all that.

209
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.080
<v Speaker 3>So it'll make it faster for our customers when they're

210
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 3>checking out. Okay, so we're having fun setting that up.

211
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>How do you like it so far? How's your internship going?

212
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 3>I really like it.

213
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 2>It's great, isn't it everything that was promised? Yeah? Pretty

214
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 2>fast paced, isn't it.

215
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

216
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I like it my goodness sake. So well, you know,

217
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 2>come back if you know.

218
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the festivals that you just won't

219
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 1>find anywhere else. It's rather unique and it's right here

220
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in our hometown. We're so proud of it. We're so

221
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 1>proud of you for being here.

222
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:49.360
<v Speaker 3>And choosing it. No, it's fun, and the interns worked

223
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 3>very hard. We couldn't do this festival without the interns.

224
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 3>They are amazing. In fact, we have three more coming.

225
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 3>They'll start on Tuesday, after Memorial Day, and so we're exited.

226
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 3>One of them is our very own Luke Olsen. So

227
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 3>great a young man. He's just going to be a

228
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.440
<v Speaker 3>graduate this Friday. I think that's graduation for Bartlesville High School.

229
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.720
<v Speaker 3>And I think Luke just cleaned up at the Senior

230
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Awards simply. He got an award from Okay on music.

231
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 3>He got the mim Scholarship. He did not know that

232
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.120
<v Speaker 3>he was getting that. He came in the other day

233
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 3>to talk about the internship and we're just going a

234
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 3>little bit over about you know, what to expect and

235
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 3>all that good stuff. And I had to sort of

236
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 3>play dom like, oh, Luke, what instrument do you play?

237
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 3>And where are you going to school? Because I knew

238
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 3>he was getting the award. He didn't know that I

239
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 3>knew that, and so I hope he was surprised. And

240
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to give them a hard time about

241
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 3>it when he comes in. But what an amazing kid.

242
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, all of our interns are so amazingly talented.

243
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Madelin is a business major, so that's kind of fun

244
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 3>for me because normally we have mostly music majors. I

245
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 3>think Luke's going on to do music education or music performance.

246
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 3>Just Sell of course is doing music, and so many

247
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 3>of our other ones, so they usually know a lot

248
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 3>of things I don't know. But Madeline is business and

249
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.799
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I know a little bit more maybe

250
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 3>about that than I always do music. But it's it's awesome.

251
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>She's been helping me do financials and she's been learning

252
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.279
<v Speaker 3>about sort of how we do the backside on the

253
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 3>operations side. So it's kind of fun for me to

254
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.759
<v Speaker 3>get to have an intern that I can share my

255
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 3>knowledge with. Since I don't play musical instruments and don't sing,

256
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 3>and I can't you could share that, you could, I could,

257
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.720
<v Speaker 3>but nobody would want to listen to I don't have

258
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.080
<v Speaker 3>some fun. Okay, you know, I can sing in the

259
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 3>car quite nicely, but I'm not sure anyone else would

260
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 3>really want to hear that.

261
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>And I hate it when the singer on the radio

262
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>changes the words.

263
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, the words and the keys. You know, you just

264
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 3>can't stay. I mean it's like really hard to sing

265
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 3>with Seline Dion. I cannot hit those notes that might

266
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 3>be a good thing. Tom No, But I think you

267
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 3>know again, we're so grateful to the interns, Grateful to

268
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.679
<v Speaker 3>Rose she has worked so hard on the children's programming.

269
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Thankful to we call him Papa at the office. But

270
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 3>to John M. He has been out. If he doesn't

271
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 3>ask you for money, he asks if he can put

272
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.320
<v Speaker 3>a poster up. And if he doesn't ask for that,

273
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 3>he asks you to come. And I think when people

274
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 3>see him coming, they're like, well, John, why are you

275
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 3>here today? And he says, well, nice that you ask.

276
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 3>But you know, we invite everyone to come because that's

277
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 3>how you continue the legacy. It's not just about making donations.

278
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 3>It's not just about you know, a nonprofit, but it

279
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 3>is about getting involved. It's about making the community enriched

280
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 3>with the arts. Arts are important. They bring education, they

281
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 3>bring soul. Music is universal. It's a universal language. It

282
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 3>appeals to everyone. It brings businesses together, communities together, and

283
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 3>such as the radio. We love partnering with our business

284
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 3>community partners.

285
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.399
<v Speaker 2>You know's something.

286
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Every time I'm out at Sunbeast, I see John and

287
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 1>it's like, dude, do you ever sleep?

288
00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 2>He is a million places you know.

289
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 3>Actually, yes, he goes to bed every night pretty early,

290
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 3>likes to do his prayers, and then he reads I

291
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.240
<v Speaker 3>don't know, five hundred different newspaper periodicals and then he's

292
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 3>just me to sleep by I would say, ten, ten thirty,

293
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.360
<v Speaker 3>and then gets up every morning at four am again

294
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 3>does morning prayers and more reading, and he is ready

295
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 3>to go. I'm sure he's out right now making calls

296
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.519
<v Speaker 3>to patrons, are out again seeing businesses, saying are you

297
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>going to come? Don't you want to come? Don't you

298
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.799
<v Speaker 3>want to volunteer? Exactly? He's very persuasive. Everyone loves him.

299
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.559

<v Speaker 1>about it.

315
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 3>That is true. We are located downtown in the heart

316
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 3>of Bartlesville. We are at four fifteen South Dewey. We

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 3>You can't miss it. If I go out the door,

321
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I look down to the right to see Price Tower,

322
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 3>I look down to the left and you can see

323
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 3>the rest of downtown, the baseball stadium, So you cannot

324
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 3>miss us.

325
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Best in town.

326
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.840
<v Speaker 3>It is a very good view. Everyone is very friendly.

327
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.240
<v Speaker 3>We have an amazing staff. So yeah, come by and

328
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 3>see us. We'll give you a cup of coffee.

329
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, if we want to get tickets, just go to

330
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the website, folks, and remember with the showcase, you need

331
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.519
<v Speaker 1>to get your RSVP right there at the site and

332
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>when you go there, it gives you. It's like three choices,

333
00:15:55.720 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, kids, the Festivall and the showcase. Just follow

334
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the directions. The prompts are pretty easy. You're not going

335
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.759
<v Speaker 1>to get lost, You're not going to say, oh my gosh,

336
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 1>what have I done. It'll get you right where you

337
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 1>want to go. And if you're not too sure about it,

338
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 1>just call in your grandkid.

339
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.679
<v Speaker 3>No, it's super easy. And we do have patrons that

340
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 3>light to come in and just say hi to Rose

341
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.799
<v Speaker 3>and see and so that part's nice. You know. Again,

342
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 3>want to give a shout out all of children. Programming

343
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 3>is free all children attending the main stage concert the festival.

344
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.879
<v Speaker 3>Children eighteen and under are free. So there's no reason

345
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.720
<v Speaker 3>not to bring your kids. Introduce them to classical music,

346
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 3>Introduce them to going to concerts and having fun. We

347
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.960
<v Speaker 3>will have children's games and whatnot out at wool Rock,

348
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.840
<v Speaker 3>so it's a really nice time for families to come

349
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.879
<v Speaker 3>out there. We have food trucks, amazing food trucks, so

350
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 3>please come out and support those guys. You just can't

351
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:56.080
<v Speaker 3>go wrong.

352
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:57.559
<v Speaker 2>I have a question for you.

353
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>This is someone who had ask me to shorty sure,

354
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 1>how soon can they start signing up for the kids

355
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:05.039
<v Speaker 1>programs for next year.

356
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:09.720
<v Speaker 3>We will probably not release that now. There will be

357
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.960
<v Speaker 3>programming for Tiberfest and Chris Kendall. No. I usually we

358
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 3>start the kids stuff early. We started in March. We

359
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 3>try to start it before spring break so that people

360
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 3>can start thinking about it and plan. We know that,

361
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 3>you know, it takes a lot of planning for parents

362
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 3>who work to get their kids to these things, so

363
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.880
<v Speaker 3>we do try to start that early. So I would say,

364
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, in the last three years, if I average

365
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.640
<v Speaker 3>it out, it's been the last part of February, first

366
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 3>part of March. Very good, thank you. That's that's a

367
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 3>nice question. A problem to have.

368
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a great problem, it's true.

369
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>So once again we start with the kids, and we've

370
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.839
<v Speaker 1>got the big FESTI we're coming up and everybody has Friday,

371
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.759
<v Speaker 1>and then we get ready for October Fast and Chris

372
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.599
<v Speaker 1>Kendle Market and start the whole thing.

373
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 3>All over a we do. We have a year's packed

374
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 3>worth of events. We will at the end of the

375
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 3>day give over thousands of books away to children, other

376
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:06.240
<v Speaker 3>educational items, instruments. I mean, you name it, we do it.
