Spring is in full bloom in Strasburg, and the town is buzzing with excitement for its upcoming events. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael had the pleasure of chatting with two of the town's most passionate advocates: Mayor Brandy Hawkins Boies and Business and Engagement Coordinator Brian McKee. Brandy, who wears multiple hats, including being a dedicated mother and mayor, shared her enthusiasm for the community. 'Even before I was mayor, I was showing up to events with my kids,' she said, highlighting her deep-rooted commitment to community involvement. Brian McKee echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the balance between fun and hard work in planning events like Vintage in the Valley. One of the marquee events discussed was Vintage in the Valley, scheduled for April 5th. Brian provided an exciting overview of the event, featuring everything from vintage car shows and fashion parades to live music and local vendor booths. 'It's a way to celebrate Strasburg's vintage heritage,' Brian noted, adding that the event spans the entire downtown area. Janet and Brandy agreed that events like these are vital for the town's economic development. Local businesses thrive as visitors flood the town, contributing to the community in more ways than one. 'We're giving back to the community in a huge way,' Brandy explained, highlighting the benefits that extend beyond just the day of the event. As if Vintage in the Valley wasn't enough, Brandy and Brian revealed plans for the upcoming MayFest, which has become bigger and better each year. Scheduled for May 9th through 11th, the event features a parade, a beauty pageant, a 5K race, and even a carnival. Brandy shared a delightful story about a group of women who made the event part of their bachelorette weekend, reflecting its wide-reaching appeal. Strasburg's events extend into the summer with the Farmers Market and Front Porch Fridays. Kicking off with Vintage in the Valley, the Farmers Market will host vendors every first and third Saturday from April to October. As for Front Porch Fridays, starting the first Friday in June, these free live music events offer a perfect way to spend summer evenings. Brian highlighted the family-friendly nature of these gatherings. 'It's a safe environment for your kids,' Brandy added, describing the joy of seeing children play freely while parents relax to live music. 'There's no cover charge, so it's a fun Friday night for $0 if you want to.' Janet was impressed to learn about Strasburg's Creative Community Partnership grant, which will fund some upcoming events. Brian mentioned that the grant allows the town to showcase local artists through high-quality audio and video recordings, sometimes even involving performers who have appeared on shows like The Voice. These efforts not only highlight local talent but also preserve the community's unique charm. As Brandy noted, events like these serve as 'a great community gathering spot,' where residents can reconnect and new friendships can blossom. To keep up with all these exciting events, Brian advised residents to visit the Strasburg VA website or follow the Discover Strasburg Facebook page. 'Clicking that you're attending helps drive the energy for the event,' he explained. With such a vibrant calendar of activities, it's clear that Strasburg is the place to be this spring and summer. So mark your calendars, grab a friend, and experience the magic of this charming town!

Roy McGrath is a Chicago based tenor saxophonist and multi-woodwind instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico and educated in Boston, New Orleans and Chicago, Roy brings to bear these diverse influences in his playing and composing. In addition to leading and recording his own ensembles, he is a member of several others as an in-demand player, recording artist, and producer. He has led four international tours to Mexico, Singapore, Myanmar, South Korea and China. As a composer and arranger, Roy is firmly in the jazz tradition, but his Caribbean heritage is an ever-present mind set, leading to wholly original works that are a true expression of who he is. Menjunje features folkloric rhythms of Puerto Rico such as Bomba (Sica, Yuba, Cuembe), Plena, Seis Araucano, as well as Cuban Guaguanco, Bolero, Chachacha, and Son. For this particular project he flew in musicians from Puerto Rico: Drummer Efrain Martinez (Viento de Agua, Cultura Profetica, La PVC, and many more) and Eduardo Zayas (Charlie Sepulveda, Mahya Veray, Bobby Valentin). As well as musicians from the Chicago area, Constantine Alexander on trumpet, Kitt Lyles on Bass, Javier Quintana-Ocasio and Victor “Junito” Gonzalez on Percussion, and Jose Carrasquillo on Cuatro. This project is a product of working in conjunction with the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center, the Puerto Rico Arts Alliance, the Walder Foundation, and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events of Chicago. In 2022 Menjunje played festivals around Chicago and surrounding areas: Chicago Jazz Festival, Chicago Latin Jazz Festival, Glenwood Arts Festival, CU Jazz Festival, Mayfest, Mole de Mayo Festival. Also in 2022 Roy plays on supporting the release of Giovany Revelle's self-titled album, which Roy co-produced, wrote horn arrangements, string arrangements, and coached the rhythm section. In 2017 Roy released his Latin Grammy nominated prior album, “Remembranzas”, a new batch of original compositions that incorporate folkloric Bomba rhythms and other Puerto Rican elements in a jazz framework. Originally, in 2015 the project was called the Julia al Son de Jazz project and was commissioned by Chicago's Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center, where he worked as director of the youth Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble for five years. The project used the writings of revered Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos as a springboard for new compositions that included spoken word recitations of her poetry. Its debut was followed by successive performances throughout Chicago including three dates for the Chicago Park District's Night Out in the Parks summer concert series in 2016. In 2017 Roy also led two special big band tribute projects: one honoring legendary Puerto Rican composer Rafael Hernández, with his son, Chali Hernandez singing, and a local All-Stars tribute to Dizzy Gillespie's United Nations Orchestra that played the Chicago Latin Jazz Fest. Roy sang in school choirs before picking up the saxophone at age 16. After attending the Berklee College of Music Summer Workshop, he earned a full scholarship to attend Berklee's five-week Summer Performance Program. Back in Puerto Rico, he honed his improvisational skills performing with jazz pianist and Beach Boys alumnus Carli Muñoz. Upon high school graduation, Roy was awarded a scholarship to Loyola University in New Orleans, where he studied under Tony Dagradi (saxophonist for Astral Project) and composer/arranger John Mahoney. He graduated in 2009 with BM in Jazz Performance. After graduation, Roy extended his time in New Orleans, performing in clubs, concert halls and the streets with a variety of musicians. He made three appearances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and one appearance at the New Orleans French Quarter Fest. The next stop on his musical journey was Northwestern University in Chicago, where he graduated with a master's degree in Music, studying under Victor Goines, saxophonist for Jazz at Lincoln Center and Director of Jazz Studies at Northwestern University. Graduating in 2014, McGrath decided to put down roots in Chicago because of both its historic role in the development of jazz and the presence of a large and vibrant Jazz & Latin music community in which he could continue to pursue his vision. He returned to Northwestern's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall in 2016 to perform with Victor Goines and Branford Marsalis in Goines' orchestral composition the “Crescent City Suite”. Roy released his debut CD as a leader, Martha, in 2014 with a quartet formed of fellow Northwestern grads Gustavo Cortiñas, Kitt Lyles and Joaquin Garcia, all bandleaders in their own right, and returned the favor by joining their ensembles: Snapshot (Cortiñas), Real Talk Collective (Lyles) and Rhythm Convergence (Garcia). The Roy McGrath Quartet was featured in the Jazz Institute of Chicago's NextGEN concert series in 2015. Later that year, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) awarded McGrath a grant to take the quartet on a month-long tour of Mexico. Also in 2015, The Roy McGrath Latin Jazz Quintet performed at the Chicago Latin Jazz Festival. 2016 also saw McGrath joining alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón and traditional music ensemble Bomba con Buya for Folclórico: An Exploration of Jazz and Afro-Puerto Rican Music at the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center. As an educator Roy has taught masterclasses on improvisation at Dulwich College International in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Beijing, on four different touring occasions. Roy has taught in his home of Puerto Rico at the Universidad del Turabo and in Mexico City as well.

Our conversation with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the next four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024. Joining us to talk about the economic development chapter was Jenna French, Shenandoah County's Director of Economic Development/Tourism and Sarah Mauck from District Six (Strasburg) of the Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) to talk about their roles in the planning process. Jenna explained how economic development factors into the comprehensive plan and gave us some background on the economic development strategic plan which comes from information in the overall plan. We talked about how businesses choose localities to open/expand their footprint and talked about the importance of being specific when thinking about what residents might want/need for their communities. We talked about how planning for schools, infrastructure, and "rooftops" impacts growth. Tyler & Sarah told us about their experience at MayFest and the great feedback they received from people who visited their booth during the event. Their setup included a "lego town" where adults and kids could place things like businesses, houses, schools and roads into the town where they felt they would be best suited. It was a big hit with visitors of all ages. We also discussed the importance of feedback from residences throughout the county. Input is needed and wanted to make the comprehensive plan as comprehensive as possible. The team working on the plan wants to be sure that all generations are included and that every opinion is heard and discussed. The CAC will be setting up at other events throughout the summer in different localites across the county: June 25th, 2022 2pm – 5pm @ Woodstock's ArtFest July 4th, 2022 10pm – 12pm @ Fort Valley Independence Day Parade August 12th/13th, 2022 8pm – 10pm @ Orkney Springs' Shenandoah Valley Music Festival If you can't make one of the events, you can take the community survey (open until Labor Day) by clicking here. You can also access their "map feature" and tell everyone what your favorite place is in the county; where you have an idea for how things could be different; and where problems exist on the interactive map. Zoom in to your community and let everyone know where you want to see more detailed improvements such as sidewalks, new stores, or public river or stream access. Click here to map your future.

Hailstorms are notorious for inflicting costly damage upon property and crops every year in the United States. Annually, the destruction from these frozen rain pellets that travel dozens of miles per hour through the atmosphere results in $1 billion in damage, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration – NOAA. Hail also poses a safety threat to both humans and animals. NOAA estimates that 24 people in the U.S. are injured each year, with some injuries significant enough to land them in the hospital. In May , 1995, severe storms brewing over the Dallas-Fort Worth metro-plex in Texas produced damaging winds, heavy rain and extremely large hail. The storms, which remain some of the costliest in history, also impacted an outdoor festival called Mayfest, where over 10,000 people were caught out in the open with little to no shelter from the hail. More than 400 people were hurt after being pelted with hail up to the size of a softball. Although no one was killed, about 60 people were seriously injured. “What injuries we do see are to people who are out in the open, like farmers, golfers, landscapers – anyone that's doing outside work that doesn't have any means to find shelter right away in a storm,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski. However, how likely is it that a hailstorm can actually kill you? The odds are low, but it can happen, experts say. The World Meteorological Organization reported that the highest mortality associated with a hailstorm happened in India, on April 30, 1888. The deadly storm killed 246 people with pieces of hail as large as “goose eggs, oranges and cricket balls.” In the U.S., hailstorms resulting in loss of human life are quite rare. “Hail has to be really large to cause serious injury to people, or even death,” Kottlowski said. But on May 13, 1930 one of the few deaths by hail in the US. 36 miles NW of Lubbock, TX a farmer was caught in an open field and he died from his hail caused injuries.

Today Barry celebrates National Nurses Day and School Lunch Hero Day. His special guest on the podcast is Abby Walters who shares the family fun happenings at next weekend's Strasburg Mayfest.
Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes. It's spring in Tulsa and all the events are back. There's Mayfest this weekend, Iron Man returns, Black Wall Street Legacy Festival, and Southern Hills Country Club is hosting the PGA Championship for a record fifth time, which you can read all about in our May issue. While those events help draw people to Tulsa, many of our city's young professionals will gather around the drawing board to come up with ideas to enhance a section of Tulsa going through a revitalization. On May 13-14 TYPROS annual community development event Street Cred: Outside the Loops returns with a focus on reimagining an area just outside of downtown and creatively strategizing development opportunities. Andrea Pemberton, Executive Director of TYPROS, is here to discuss Street Cred and more on this episode. She's worked for the organization for since 2018 and took over the helm in 2020, which means Andrea has guided TYPROS through the COVID-19 pandemic. TYPROS is an organization that's lifeblood is people networking together in the same room. She discusses how they were able to go with the flow and adapt to continue their mission. It's an interesting time for the organization. Since birth TYPROS has basically been a millennial club. Seventeen years later many of the millennials are aging out and the next generation of young professionals are growing. Andrea discusses what they're seeing during this transition and what's to come in the near future. Tulsa is growing with people from all over the country relocating here. This includes Andrea. We discuss what the organization is seeing from programs like Tulsa Remote, and she talks about what brought her to Tulsa and why she's such a big fan of the city. She's also very civically engaged, so we talk about our shared passion for voting and why she's so passionate about the electoral process. We also dive into her background on why she got an Anthropology degree at OU and how she's used it throughout her career. We cover a lot of ground in this one. Following my conversation with Andrea, hear a new song from John Moreland. More on that later. OK, let's get this going. This is Tulsa Talks with Andrea Pemberton. John Moreland is back with new music. That's one of the best emails I've received recently. The Tulsan can write and sing a song like no other. He's a rare talent and as you'll hear in this song he continues to grow and showcase his skills.Ugly Faces, is the first single from his new album “Birds in the Ceiling” out July 22. You can preorder the album at johnmoreland.net. There you can also check out his slate of nationwide tour dates starting in July. So far there are no Tulsa shows on the schedule, but there is an opening the first week of August between St. Louis and Santa Fe (hint, hint Cain's Ballroom). I'll let John take it from here with “Ugly Faces”

Our conversation with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. Joining us to talk about the collaboration that happens between the localities was Erick Moore, Director of Planning & Development for the town of Mount Jackson and his counterpart in Woodstock: Jill Jefferson, Urban Designer & Neighborhood Planner. Each explained their comprehensive plan development/updating process and talked about past plans. Erick explained that in addition to focusing on development, town council has tasked him with placing a greater importance on outdoor recreation & preservation. This is based on feedback they've received for and since the 2017 comprehensive plan process. He talked about the "Rails to Trails" project and how it will play a role in their future plans. He talked about how vital planning for projects like these are to maximum enjoyment upon completion. Jill explained her role as Urban Designer & Neighborhood Planner for the town of Woodstock. She told us about all the various entities and government agencies that have input into their planning process such as planning commissions, town councils and boards of supervisors. We talked about the impact housing and growth could have on existing plans as well as what their process will look like later this year when planning begins again to update theirs. Most of our conversation centered around the collaboration that happens within each locality not just during the planning process and implementation; but, also with neighboring towns and localities as well as with the county as a whole. Both Jill & Erick are happy to also have access to survey results and citizen input for their localities that has been/will be gathered by the county during their process. Jill & Erick also talked about preserving the green space, park space and access to the Shenandoah River being a large part of their community. Tyler told us about a few upcoming community collaboration sessions where they'll be set up at local events happening in May across the county. Battle of the Bands in Mount Jackson on May 7, 2022. Strasburg's MayFest on May 14, 2022. Jammin' Foods Fest in New Market on May 21, 2022. Shenandoah Valley ArtFest in Woodstock on June 25, 2022.

Hailstorms are notorious for inflicting costly damage upon property and crops every year in the United States. Annually, the destruction from these frozen rain pellets that travel dozens of miles per hour through the atmosphere results in $1 billion in damage, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration – NOAA. Hail also poses a safety threat to both humans and animals. NOAA estimates that 24 people in the U.S. are injured each year, with some injuries significant enough to land them in the hospital. In May , 1995, severe storms brewing over the Dallas-Fort Worth metro-plex in Texas produced damaging winds, heavy rain and extremely large hail. The storms, which remain some of the costliest in history, also impacted an outdoor festival called Mayfest, where over 10,000 people were caught out in the open with little to no shelter from the hail. More than 400 people were hurt after being pelted with hail up to the size of a softball. Although no one was killed, about 60 people were seriously injured. “What injuries we do see are to people who are out in the open, like farmers, golfers, landscapers – anyone that’s doing outside work that doesn’t have any means to find shelter right away in a storm,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski. However, how likely is it that a hailstorm can actually kill you? The odds are low, but it can happen, experts say. The World Meteorological Organization reported that the highest mortality associated with a hailstorm happened in India, on April 30, 1888. The deadly storm killed 246 people with pieces of hail as large as “goose eggs, oranges and cricket balls.” In the U.S., hailstorms resulting in loss of human life are quite rare. “Hail has to be really large to cause serious injury to people, or even death,” Kottlowski said. But on May 13, 1930 one of the few deaths by hail in the US. 36 miles NW of Lubbock, TX a farmer was caught in an open field and he died from his hail caused injuries.

Dan + Shay tickets all week, Mayfest recap, and doesn't Amber you to look inside her bedside table?
Episode Notes Trevor - Welcome back to Have You Heard. The podcast where we discuss underappreciated music from different genres, artists and eras. I'm your host, Trevor. In this episode, we're gonna be talking to Northwestern artist Jay Towns. Hope you enjoy. Jay - Cool. What's up, man? T - What's going on? Thanks so much for hopping on. J - Dude, thanks for having me, for real. T - Yeah, I remember … I'm a transfer, I'm new to Northwestern. So, I remember the first, like videos, when I was just applying and everything, you were the first one to pop up. J - Appreciate it. T - So it's cool to finally get to talk to you and stuff. J - Yeah, you too. T - Going back to that sort of social media stuff … It seems like you have a lot going on, just all the time, so I wonder how you balance that with school and everything. J - Well, the great thing about what I'm studying: theater, music tech and entrepreneurship – lots of the things that I am learning in classes I directly apply to stuff I do outside of class. Obviously, there's still school work that's kind of annoying to have to get done. But I'd say like 80% of the things that I'm learning in class, I apply to some project that I'm doing currently. To me, it doesn't feel so much as school, art, work. It kind of all blends together. Because I'd love to do my art for my job, which is what I'm studying. You know what I mean? It's not too bad, actually – the balance. Obviously, you know, with my own projects, like the YouTube channel and music and things that I'm not actively endorsed to do at school, that is what I use my extra time on. Actually, I feel like this is a perfect time to do this podcast episode, because I'm right now, in the midst of planning for a music video I'm shooting tomorrow – maybe we could talk about that later. But the balance … I'm very used to it. But I think I think it's pretty, my schedule’s always kind of, like something’s moving. But that's the way I like it. And I think that Northwestern, for better or for worse, has kind of conditioned me with the “and” is in our DNA mindset, which can be toxic at times. But for me, most of the time, it's more of like an encouragement. I feel empowered to do not only whatever I want, but, whenever I want to do it. Oftentimes that coincides with other projects. And that's just kind of the lifestyle that I want to have. Starting it early, I guess. T - Yeah that’s so dope. I guess we could just jump into the music right now if you want. So do you direct your own music videos, and how much creative control do you have in that sort of process? J - So I do direct my own videos, but I've also … I have one video up on my channel right now, that was directed by a friend of mine. But even in that case, which was a great video, that was the “Green” music video that was directed by my friend Hannah because I had made that song to be featured in her film. So that was really cool. And she actually was editing the music video while she was editing the film. And so there are actually clips of the film, like intertwined with the music video pretty seamlessly. So that was dope. And in that case, she directed it because she definitely had the vision for the project. And it was also to serve for promo for the film. But other music videos I've directed, and I'm directing this next one that I'm doing. But even when I'm not, even when in the case of “Green,” I didn't ever feel like I didn't have creative control or creative input to say the least. I think, though, that the director usually is the person who is seeing how it's going to come together in the end product. And so, more frequently than not, the director is also going to edit a music video. And so in the case of “Green,” I wasn't editing it because I didn't have the footage, so I felt like Hannah would have been more appropriate to bring that vision together – which she's very good at. For songs like “19,” which is another music video that's up on my channel, I had the whole idea in my mind. I just needed somebody to help me shoot it. And so in that case, I directed it because I also ended up editing that. So that's kind of how it goes with directing and creative liberties. T - Yeah and I wonder, how was it when you first started making music and putting stuff out? J - Dude, I was just thinking about this the other day. It is such a combination of kind of … you have to be kind of either like I don't know if it's like in love with your work or just kind of naive. And I mean the passion obviously has to be there. The passion, I think is the number one thing but like, because I look back – I was literally thinking about this yesterday – I am so proud of the music that I'm making currently. And like just the production value of it, I feel like I spend a lot of time on it and I feel like it just sounds professional. And it's strange to think about the music that I made, just like a year ago, that I'm still proud of writing-wise and inspiration-wise, because I'm like, “This definitely came from the heart.” This was something I wanted to get out as, like artistic expression, right? But I'm like, I would never listen to this just because I was so new at producing. Most of the tracks that I've released before like, just aren't at the caliber that my stuff is at now and that when I compare what I make to what I listened to, just isn't the same. And so I was thinking about that the other day, I was like, man, my friends really like … reposted that on their stories. And I'm like, I don't know, we were all just on the train of like, “Yo, this is artistic expression. And so that's what matters,” or if they were all secretly like, “Whoa, this is actually trash, but we support Jay.” And the funny thing is, I'll never have to know because that gave me the confidence to keep going. And now I feel like I am at the place where I really am putting up dukes with anybody who could be on the radio, you know what I mean? But it definitely took that confidence and that support group at the beginning to keep going, because I swear I almost could guarantee if people were like, “Stop making music,” when I had started, I probably would have stopped because it was a new thing for me. And I think that new artistic expression requires support to get going. T - And how were you learning in the beginning? Was it just through YouTube videos, just, you know, throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks? Or… J - It was a combination of both, you know, I've been a musician, I would say for the majority of my life, always musically in tune. But when it came to producing, that was a completely different thing. And something I was really excited about doing and never really had time to get into until quarantine hit and there was literally nothing else to do. It was a lot of YouTube. I always suggest when people ask, “How did you learn how to do that?” Just go on YouTube. I learned all the music theory I ever needed to learn on YouTube and more. That translated to me doing, like, AP music theory in high school and being very comfortable with music theory in college. Everything you ever would need to know is on YouTube. You don't need to take classes or anything. And that was the same thing for producing. So I came into 2020 — I know, musically what I want in my head. But it was so frustrating getting to a computer. Having to figure out routing audio and quantizing MIDI tracks – just things that you don't think about when you're in artist mode. And that's kind of when I started going into producer stuff. And now I understand what it takes to get the idea from the head to the computer and out in the exported track. Which is a completely different skill. And so, yeah, that was really frustrating to work with at the beginning. But it was just, yeah, it was lots of trial and error. Lots of hours just sitting at my computer, hunched over my computer — just my computer crashing, like my laptop not, CPU not being able to work. My next investment probably has to be in another computer just because files are getting too big, et cetera. But anyway, I digress. Yeah, I learned almost everything I know how to do from YouTube. T - It seems like you're sort of able to translate what's in your head onto the DAW, how often are you making music? Is it as frustrating as it was before? J - To answer the first half of the question. I'm making music consistently, but not frequently. So basically, I consistently, on a consistent basis, I will pour a whole day into a track, but I don't work a little bit every day. My schedule is not really conducive to like, I'm going to work for an hour on this song today. It's more so like I get in the grind. It's usually a Saturday or Sunday. And I sit down with tea at 10am and I'm there until like five. And then I have a song. I definitely have gotten a lot more efficient with my time. And I tend to work in blocks and chunks. And I feel like lots of artists tend to work this way. Producers, I feel like have more of the approach of like, I can whittle this down, day by day. But I feel like I'm more of an artist who learned how to produce out of necessity rather than like a producer who just loves to sit and work at my computer. I'm really hoping to get better at producing to the point where I can feel comfortable producing for other people. Like I'm also thinking about that as a possible route to go with my life. Don't really even know how that's gonna go. But so like, I make music consistently. Consistently, I'll do it about once a week for like hours at a time. And yeah, it's gotten a lot faster. It's just getting comfortable with the DAW. I use Studio One, which I think is amazing. I got it because it also allows me to compose music on there. If you have heard of Sibelius or like Finale, basically, there's like music transcription that is a part of it, which is for me as a composer, musical theater writer type stuff, that's also very useful. So kind of like two birds with one stone. And yeah, I mean, I got it Christmas of 2019, didn't use it until 2020 when everything stopped, and I've been using it ever since. And I love it. And the more you use it, I mean, every song that I've made so far, I have learned something that I wish I had put in every other song before. T - And I love what you said about consistency, but not frequency. I think, you know, artists – when they're not making music or when they don't feel like making music what do they do to get in that zone? What’s that for you? J - Man, I mean, it's — this is so cheesy — but it's just like living life. It's because, and this is the same thing with acting too, which is something I'm also very passionate about. But when it comes to art, I feel like you need to have your experiences to then pour into your art. If I don't feel like making music, unless I'm commissioned to, like if I'm making it for something. But if it's just me, and I want to sit down and make a song and it's not coming, like, I don't think anything good comes from forcing that. I go out and I just live my life. I hang out with my roommates. I eat sushi. I occasionally freestyle to beats I find on YouTube in my car. I just live and then something happens that inspires me or makes me think of something or I hear a melody. A song I'm working on right now was inspired by — my next door neighbors play violin. And I just was walking out one day going to class and I just overheard this violin classical piece. And something about the melody just was really catchy. Quick on Voice Notes I just was like: Music notes I'll save that for later. That was something that I was able to build off of. You just never know where the next thing is gonna come from. And so I try not to force it. I think I'm naturally inclined to make something when I feel something so I don't really feel the need to, like, force that. It definitely comes when it needs to. I wouldn't call myself like a professional music artist like it's not my only thing. I don't feel that pressure to have to make something to make money. You know what I mean? I think for artists out there doing it, it's a different conversation. For me like, it's a very fun, very invested-in hobby, but still a hobby, so I don't I don't feel the pressure, you know. T - That's great. Honestly, I have a ton more questions, but I just want to make sure we get in your music video that you said you're filming tomorrow. J - Oh, yes. Yeah, I appreciate you making time for that. I just feel like it would be a great opportunity to talk about while we're here. I am shooting a music video for a song called “Moves” that I made. It was one of those that was, I felt like a really good catchy idea that I ended up finishing it in like two weeks, and was like, “Okay, I'll totally make a music video for this one day.”And then I was selected to compete in Battle of the Bands for Mayfest to compete for a spot a set for Dillo. And they required a 20 minute set. So I was like, “Hmm, got this new song. Got this music video idea. Let's incorporate that.” So now, my plan is to incorporate this music video, another music video that I've been sitting on, and a Tiny Desk-esque kind of set for some stripped versions of some other songs that I've made to compile into one big Mayfest set. So I'm very excited about the opportunity to put so much of the new stuff I've been sitting on out at the same time and debuting it for Battle of the Bands. I just think it would be a really great idea. So, I mean, I got this together super quick. I put out the first interest call — I think on Wednesday. Since then so many people have just reached out, volunteered to just be like, “Yeah, I'd love to be in it” or “Yeah, I'd love to help out with it.” And so it's always for me, when I see other people investing in my vision — half the people didn't even know what the song was called, or what the music video is going to be about. But they were like, “Jay Towns is making a music video, I'm down.” That inspires me to make it something that is worth somebody else's time. It's so exciting to me. I can't believe something that I like walked outside, heard this melody, put it into a MIDI track, made a little beat, put some words on it. And now I'm about to meet a bunch of people I’d never met before tomorrow, and make this awesome thing that we can all share. We'll also be serving a purpose for like my set, like, that's dope.I love that process, I fall in love with that process. So that's what the music video is about for “Moves,” and I'm super excited for you to see it for other people to see it. And especially for people to feel like they're a part of it, the people who are going to show up work on it and be acting in it. So I'm very excited about that. T - Hope you enjoyed that episode.

Annually, the destruction from these frozen rain pellets that travel dozens of miles per hour through the atmosphere results in $1 billion in damage, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration – NOAA. Hail also poses a safety threat to both humans and animals. NOAA estimates that 24 people in the U.S. are injured each year, with some injuries significant enough to land them in the hospital. In May , 1995, severe storms brewing over the Dallas-Fort Worth metro-plex in Texas produced damaging winds, heavy rain and extremely large hail. The storms, which remain some of the costliest in history, also impacted an outdoor festival called Mayfest, where over 10,000 people were caught out in the open with little to no shelter from the hail. More than 400 people were hurt after being pelted with hail up to the size of a softball. Although no one was killed, about 60 people were seriously injured. “What injuries we do see are to people who are out in the open, like farmers, golfers, landscapers – anyone that’s doing outside work that doesn’t have any means to find shelter right away in a storm,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski. However, how likely is it that a hailstorm can actually kill you? The odds are low, but it can happen, experts say. The World Meteorological Organization reported that the highest mortality associated with a hailstorm happened in India, on April 30, 1888. The deadly storm killed 246 people with pieces of hail as large as “goose eggs, oranges and cricket balls.” In the U.S., hailstorms resulting in loss of human life are quite rare. “Hail has to be really large to cause serious injury to people, or even death,” Kottlowski said. But on May 13, 1930 one of the few deaths by hail in the US. 36 miles NW of Lubbock, TX a farmer was caught in an open field and he died from his hail caused injuries.

Tonight on the radio show we have Lindsey Chomiuk Bull and Meagan Tyler from the Junior League of Tulsa, Inc.talking about The Gem Gala this is a nice event May 12th. I was honored to help the Junior League of Tulsa promote their event because of the wonderful history of their organization and how much help they have provided for the Tulsa area. The Junior League is responsible for or dramatically improved so many things that have been close to my family and friends. Their work includes creating Mayfest, Leadership Tulsa, the Child Abuse Network, Oxley Nature Center, and DVIS. This event seems really fun and quite affordable for such a great opportunity to get dressed up and have a lawn party at the Historical Society. The proceeds go to the guest of honor, Taylor Hanson, to his charity, Food On The Move. Lindsey and Meagan were great. They thanked sponsors, the committee, and got me excited to eat some steak with crab meat on top. The silent and live auction items were very impressive (including a year of dates that I thought were the little fruits). It turns out that it is a complete date once a month for a year. I think that is perfect for people who want to have 30 day relationships and start over again and again. Their description of the jewelry being raffled made me almost get my ears pierced (but I did an inventory and found out that I have the exact number of holes in my head that I need right now). Radio IDL's Poppa Nite put together a great song list to fit including "Helping Hand" by Dr. John, "Find a Way to Care" by John Mayall, and just for the Gem Ball, "Sparkles" by the Gemini Club. Listen tonight at 7 pm or this weekend each day at noon at www.radioIDL.com.

Emma and Selina talk about making autobiographical performance and not being consumed by an audience. About self care being about prevention rather than cure. and about the intersections of trans issues and race issues and the places where they don't intersect.

This episode is a conversation about vulnerability in live performance. About how artists can present traumatic material whilst looking after ourselves. About not being consumed by an audience. And it is full of love. This episode was commissioned by Bristol Mayfest Radio (the official radio station for the Mayfest Theatre Festival) and Emma is speaking to Selina Thompson, an artist and performer whose production ‘Salt’ is one of the highlights of the festival. We talk about making autobiographical performance and placing yourself between an audience and the Sun. About self care being a prevention rather than a cure and about the places where trans issues and race issues intersect and the places where they don’t. Selina Thompson is an artist and performer based in Leeds. Her work is playful, participatory and intimate, focused on the politics of identity, and how this defines our bodies, lives and environments. She has made work for pubs, cafes, hairdressers, toilets, and sometimes even galleries and theatres, including Spill Festival of Performance, The National Theatre Studio, The Birmingham REP, East Street Arts and the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Emma Frankland is an award winning theatre maker and performer. Recently she has been creating performance work based on transgender identities & the politics of transition through her None of Us is Yet a Robot project. Throughout her work, there is a shared theatrical language that focuses on honesty, action & a playfully destructive DIY aesthetic. You can keep up to date with Emma's movements through the None of Us is Yet a Robot project at www.notyetarobot.co.uk or @elbfrankland on twitter and with Selina at http://selinathompson.co.uk and on twitter @selinanthompson Opening music was by Visitors and closing music (as ever) by Señor Coconut y Su Conjuto.
