40
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>here in town know so much about it. But you know,

41
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>as we all know, we've got so many new people

42
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 1>that always move into town. This is due to them.

43
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's amazing, you get the new people don't know

44
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 4>a lot about the OKAM music. So we started this

45
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 4>year to really fan out and go to all the

46
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 4>organizations we can that would would give us an audience

47
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 4>and we'll talk two to three minutes or two to

48
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 4>three hours and be happy to spread the word. But

49
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 4>It's really been a lot of fun.

50
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 3>John knows a lot about classical music, so he loves

51
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 3>to go and talk, and then of course he can

52
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 3>always bring rows about the kids, but he also knows

53
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 3>about the kids' performances. The really exciting thing is we

54
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 3>are for at least six of our events we are

55
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.599

79
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 3>who's going to perform for us. So for the first debut,

80
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm very excited Tom Davis featuring the Suns of Beaches.

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 2>So, Tom, how do you describe your band?

82
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.680

83
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>that beach flavor, right, but we also have classically trained musicians,

84
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>very nice on board. We have an international cast from Europe,

85
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>in the United States and some of US Native Americans,

86
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.199
<v Speaker 1>and we put together some songs that you've known for

87
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>years and a ton of our original works. So we're

88
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 1>going to be presenting just a very wide spectrum of

89
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>music and the influences from around the world.

90
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's a very fun, upbeat vibe.

91
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 3>So people need to come out and after they get out,

92
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 3>after they know after they get done with gardening or

93
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 3>whatever that morning, they need to come out and just

94
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 3>be ready to jam.

<v Speaker 1>It's called Jimmy Buffett goes to college.

96
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:43.720

<v Speaker 2>Five different stories.

129
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.680

130
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 3>starting on Monday, June second, and then going through I

131
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 3>think we go through the third for that and so

132
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 3>those are always super fun.

133
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Every child will leave with a book and so you

134
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 2>can't go wrong there.

167
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 4>older folks that fill in as well, and between the

168
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 4>two of them they have a really good concert. And

169
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 4>then Natasha Pazinski is a pianist. It's gonna play at

170
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 4>seven o'clock and she's like thirty seven years old and

171
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 4>she is considered one of the best penis of per

172
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 4>generation and we're going to have her there at cash

173
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 4>Aw So I'm really looking.

174
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Forward to that.

175
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 4>And then on Sunday at at the Refinery that we

176
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 4>call it in Bartlesville, now we'll have Escher Quartet and

177
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 4>they are again they are nationally ranked. We had them

178
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 4>last year and they're pretty impressive.

179
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>So if you.

180
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Can't I only make one event, I would go here

181
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 4>at Asher Quartet for sure.

182
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I have the Tulsa of the kids. Yeah, didn't they

183
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 1>play up here at the you have with the Dallas Strings.

184
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, my goodness.

185
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Sakes that those kids are predenomenal.

186
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 3>They've played, they have actually played, I guess for now

187
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 3>that I've been here for a little over ten seasons.

188
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I think they've played for at least eight running years.

189
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Thought, but one year they've even played out of Unity

190
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Square and sort of deviated from their genre and learned

191
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:56.120
<v Speaker 3>all the scores to some big sort of roaring twenties music,

192
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 3>which was really fun. So yeah, I mean they're they're

193
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 3>extremely talented.

194
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 2>We love them.

195
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 3>They are amazing students who really practice very hard, play

196
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 3>like adults. I mean, they're remarkable. So Karen Nape is

197
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 3>their conductor is she also writes music. She's been in

198
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 3>several movies, so we're excited to have her back.

199
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 2>She performs with.

200
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Them as well with some of the other instructors. So

201
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 3>they're very talented.

202
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>They really just kill me because they're so good, and

203
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they know how good they are. They

204
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>just played like there's no tomorrow and then they said,

205
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>well that's a nice that was phenomenal, you know.

206
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 3>And we're always so excited to have them, and of

207
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 3>course Karen and we always tell them, oh my gosh,

208
00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 3>you're so good. And the thing that they get most

209
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>excited about tom is not the recognition, not the praise.

210
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>They like the T shirts from.

211
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 3>The festival, so they would be Saturday to get their

212
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 3>T shirts, so they'll get their T shirts again. But yeah, no,

213
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 3>and then we cannot say enough about a sure quartet.

214
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean they are trained under is talk Perlman but

215
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 3>they are that is talk Perlman of string quartets. And

216
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, those who have come and keep coming, this

217
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 3>will be their third year to come back to us

218
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 3>have just said they are pure. They are just phenomenal, amazing,

219
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 3>just beautiful musicians.

220
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Really sweet guys. They're super funny.

221
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Last year they enjoyed hanging out at the bowling Alley,

222
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>so we had to give them a hard time about that.

223
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 3>But of course, oh, I mean that was already so yeah,

224
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 3>so no, I mean, so they're super down to earth

225
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 3>but just amazingly talented musicians, So we hope that everyone

226
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 3>will come out. They can get tickets on okammusic dot org.

232
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 3>to RSU Roger States.

233
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Funny Showcase shows. Do we need to get an RSVP

234
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>so we can make sure.

235
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we need everyone.

236
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.639
<v Speaker 3>Even though the showcase events and those start on at

237
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 3>ten am on Friday, June six, at first Press, we

238
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 3>have the Bartlesville Ringers. At eleven we have Trinity Recorder Consort.

239
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 3>At one we have Wade Daniels. And then on Saturday

240
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 3>at Ambler Hall we have an eleven am. MCP is

241
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 3>going to give us four of their members to do

242
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 3>a special quartet ensemble, and so we're excited about that.

243
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>And then again one o'clock the.

244
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Rock Star Show starts with Cal Davis featuring the suns

245
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 3>of Beaches, so we're super excited. Sunday, June eighth, we

246
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 3>have the ok Youth Keyboard Orchestra, and then Sunday night

247
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 3>before our big finale, we have Brent Geddens as Elvis.

248
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 3>He'll be doing a little bit of Possibel and a

249
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 3>little bit of Elvis's favorite hits and so Brent is

250
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 3>beloved and people follow him all over the state when

251
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 3>he does his Elvis gig.

252
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.919
<v Speaker 2>So it's super fun.

253
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 3>But all of those events, while free, do need an

254
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 3>RSVP because spacing is limited and those who reserve their

255
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>spot are first come, first served.

256
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Very good, Very good. Now I want to go back

257
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 1>to the Keyboard Orchestra because from what I can understand,

258
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 1>this might be the first in the nation.

259
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 2>We believe that it is the first year round.

260
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Only that's all they do is keyboard. Okay, there are

261
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 3>other ensembles I understand, try to emulate our great yeah

262
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 3>that maybe do a camp or something in the summer,

263
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 3>but that's all they do.

264
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 2>They don't have an actual ensemble.

265
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.960
<v Speaker 3>We have over twenty kids that have committed for the

266
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 3>entire year that do this keyboard ensemble for the orchestra

267
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 3>that are amazing, and so most of these are piano

268
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 3>students who have now expressed an interest in learning other

269
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 3>instrumentation and have come together and they're playing on these

270
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 3>fantastic Yamaha keyboards that basically allow you to play the

271
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 3>sound of a cello, the sound of a bass, the

272
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 3>sound of any string instrument, any bass instrument, and it's

273
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 3>just it's fantastic. So when you come here and listen,

274
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 3>it's like you're listening to a full piece orchestra, so

275
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, and one student's maybe playing the violin, one

276
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 3>student's playing the cello, and so it's fun. And often

277
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 3>you'll have two students sitting on a keyboard and one's

278
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 3>playing one instrument and the other's playing a different instrument,

279
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 3>so it's really fun.

280
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They learn a lot.

281
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 3>These kids are all in their own right amazingly talented.

282
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 3>But when you come and hear I think it really

283
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 3>surprises people and blows them away. So we've had two concerts.

284
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.519
<v Speaker 3>We had last year's first camp and then we had

285
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 3>a Christmas concert. This year we'll have two concerts at

286
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.480
<v Speaker 3>the festival and then we'll have another Christmas concert. So

287
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 3>I think at a first Presbyterian John when you say

288
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 3>we had every three hundred fifty people, yes.

289
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 1>It was nice.

290
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>It was very nice.

291
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 3>So and it was great. I mean, the kids did wonderful.

292
00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Lisa has them play certainly orchestral pieces and then they

293
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 3>also do some individual solos, so it's nice.

294
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, so please come out join us.

295
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 1>My goodness sakes, I would almost like to be a

296
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 1>fly on the wall in the office right because I

297
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 1>know how busy this is going to get, and it

298
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>already has been busy, because we already have so many

299
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>full things for the kids.

300
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean the day that we launched on Kids,

301
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 3>we had over eighteen hundred reservations for that day. It

302
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.000
<v Speaker 3>was the biggest one that we've had, you know, And

303
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 3>it's sad for us that we haven't even gotten a

304
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Memorial Day. Schools not even out and we're already sold

305
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.000
<v Speaker 3>out or reserved. However, you want to say that for

306
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 3>many of our reserved out for many of our events,

307
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 3>and our ticket sales for the festival are going really

308
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 3>well too, so you know, please get your tickets, make

309
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 3>sure you get your spot. We have a lot of

310
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 3>questions about wool of Rock. The next time I come

311
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 3>on the radio, I think I'll just bring a little

312
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 3>bit more of the rules and what not for wool Rock.

313
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 3>People want to know. Can I bring my own food? Absolutely?

314
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 3>Can you bring your own chair? Absolutely? If you get

315
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 3>a vipackage VIP package, we have your chair for you.

316
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 3>And I think the shore we're going to do something

317
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 3>a little different where we'll have a reserve section that

318
00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 3>doesn't have the seats set up so that it's more

319
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 3>spread out. So like if you want to bring a

320
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.320
<v Speaker 3>picnic blanket and you don't want to sit in a chair,

321
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 3>but you still want that front row, you'll have it.

322
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.200
<v Speaker 3>And then we'll have another section that's VIP that's set

323
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 3>up more like theater style, and so it's really nice,

324
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.600
<v Speaker 3>and we'll have lots of food trucks out there.

325
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have wine out there.

326
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's going to be beautiful weather at

327
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 3>knock On Wood permitting. We've got the fireworks, everything's ready

328
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 3>to go. And I'm excited because I'm sitting here with

329
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.759
<v Speaker 3>my two co hosts for the MC of that night.

330
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 3>John is going to co host it and you're going

331
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>to co host it, Tom. So I think it's going

332
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 3>to be a really nice night.

333
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:33.799
<v Speaker 1>John's good to do the talking. I'm just gonna stand

334
