Kris Allen & Noah Baerman Duke Ellington Birthday Celebration
Kris Allen and I will be playing a program of music composed by the great Duke Ellington, for whom that day represents his 123rd birth anniversary. It occurs to me we should probably be doing more waltzes than we are (so we can count off "1 2 3" in honor of the milestone) but hopefully you'll deem it enough that we'll be examining his songbook from some of his best-loved tunes to some comparatively obscure ones. Kris and I have been playing together for 30 years now, but this will be our first public performance in a duo setting, so I'm extra excited about that.

Align with Source Workshop
'Purifying Your Space, Setting Your Direction'. Continuing the letting go of what must, you provide the space for that which you came to BE. Shift those lower thoughts and feelings. Place your mind on your Heart and ask: Who are you? What and whom do you identify with? Where do you see yourself in relationship to your GodSelf?
These are mighty questions that deserve deep thought; and to understand Oneness we must go there, deep into the Heart to discover just how One we are. It is now that the world needs your Best Self. Your Light is more powerful than you can imagine so why not take that bold step in turning the switches of Oneness on! So consider all those aspects in life that keep you stuck and ask yourself, 'how does it serve you?' Let's do this together in Love and Light.
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

May Art Reception: “Water Music”
by Donald Logie
3-5 pm (This show will run through May 31st)
“All physical life comes from water. For me, so does emotional life, particularly in the time of COVID. Being by water calms me. Its (usually) gentle flow, steady rhythm, and soothing sound relax, refresh, and rejuvenate me.
Water is like a sponge. It absorbs and reflects whatever it comes in contact with. This includes color, which can come from sunlight hitting the water; sunlight bouncing off the bottom of a body of water; sunlight hitting objects in the water, under the water, by the water. If there is no or little sun, there is still color, just different ones.
Water creates calm. Its colors create energy. Who doesn’t react to seeing vivid colors!? The calm imparted by water creates flow and direction for the energy generated by its color. The water flows. So do we.
In this project called WATER MUSIC, I hope to show the calm flow of water and the energy of its colors, which dances like music. I also hope that the project helps its viewers to find calm and flow for their energy.”
