Bill & Emily's Musical Exploits - 11/6/11

Hi everyone,

Happy fall!  Or did we go straight to winter?

This notice is not exactly about music, but still about an exploit.  Please join Emily and me at a panel discussion this Thursday night, Nov 10th, 7 PM, at the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center Auditorium.  The Center is in downtown Pawtucket, across from Slater Mill.

I will be moderating a discussion among four multi-disciplinary artists about life as a working artist in different media.
The panel comprises:

Bill Calhoun:  Moderator.  Teacher, musician
Emily Lisker:  Painter, illustrator, writer, musician
Keith Munslow:  Storyteller, writer, singer, band leader, musician and illustrator
Pam Murray:  Photographer, musician and singer
Richard Goulis:  Actor, film maker, video and performance artist

This forum is sponsored by the Pawtucket Arts Collaborative, and is part of their Insights Lecture Series.  It will take place immediately following the gallery opening for the PAC's annual holiday 10x10x10 Show, which will start at 5:30 PM.  Come early and enjoy the show and refreshments!

Bill & Emily's Musical Exploits - 7/1/11

Hi everyone!

The Munroe Dairy Marching Band will once again make its appearance at the Fourth of July parade in Bristol this long weekend, on Monday, July 4th! The parade runs from 10:30 AM to about 2:30 PM, and we're usually towards the end. This will be our 8th year in the parade, and we have grown - bass and snare drums, trumpet, bari sax, 3 trombones, cymbals, and a sousaphone! Come cheer us on!

Some of you may recall that the Associated Press did a story last summer about my piano tuning work at the Newport Jazz Festival. A version of that story, complete with pictures, just got published in my alma mater's alumni magazine. The online version can be found here:
Dartmouth Alumni Magazine

Happy July!
We hope to see you on the 4th!

Bill & Emily's Musical Exploits - 6/10/11

Hello everyone!

This Saturday, June 11th, Emily and I will march with the Munroe Dairy Marching Band in the Gaspee Days Parade in Pawtuxet (Warwick/Cranston) RI. The parade steps off at 10 AM. We are usually toward the end of the parade, finishing up around 1:30 PM. It's a very cool parade, featuring groups in authentic historic costumes (and milkmen in their whites). Come out and give us a cheer!
