THANKS!
Editor's Note:
It
has been said in radio blogs that for all the technology changes, it is always
the content that determines success. That should be obvious in all the arts but
must be restated over and over to keep from thinking a new technology will save
the show.
Dear
friends, I don't mind telling you that at 72 (in February 06) that I have seen
many changes in media technology but only a little in content. My dad had a
wire recorder and loved to take movies on 8mm and 16mm film. I have had to
transfer much of the film to VHS video and now I am attempting to transfer the
video collection (vast) to DVD. ( I refuse to give up two Betamax machines but
reluctantly just sent to trash my 1976 Toshiba Betamax.) I host a program on
radio called the 78 Hour as I have old 78s and on tape, now on CDs and in the
computer for broadcast. The content is just as great on all the different media
as far as I'm concerned. Almost 56 years ago, I met my future wife on a blind
date at a drive-in theater and heard Billy Eckstine sing "My Foolish
Heart". Our song for ever! (What do kids hold hands to today?) Anyway, I
just transferred the 45rpm (mono) record to the computer. Still a heart stopper.
Ah,
the play is the thing! The music is the thing! Also the landscape painting, the
portrait painting will be created by many forever. However, it is sometimes
worth looking into how the masters of centuries ago painted. I met an artist,
Frank Covino, last summer who teaches all over the US how to paint as the
Italian masters of the 1600's painted. I hope to take his class this coming
year. http://www.portrait-art.com/ Some technology is worth bringing back.
If
you have too much time on your hands, tired of reading all those books you
received at Christmas, go to this website. Wait for it to develop, read the
instructions in the little black box with white letters and then look into the
future:
http://www.btplc.com/Innovation/News/timeline/index.htm
2006!
What will it bring? Some more technology I'm sure. I am an optimist and that it
is all good for us as long as "we"are in control. However, for the
paranoid, I point you to an article I just read on the Internet that will send
you screaming to a remote island if you think it will come to pass. Go

ARTS
ALIVE IN Ft. COLLINS
:
Opening
Night for the Arts A little food, A little art, And great theater. . .
Here's
an idea! How about a night out that supports the arts? A little
food,
a little art, great local theater, and if your pocketbook is a
little
slim, this price is just right!
COCOA-Colorado
Coalition of Artists, Arts Alive and the Rocky Mountain
Bullhorn
present Opening Night for the Arts on Friday, January 6. The
evening
begins at 6:00 pm in the Lincoln Center Columbine Room with a
kick

a
silent auction of original art and more. At 8:00 pm, enjoy OpenStage
Theatre's
production of A Bright Room Called Day. After the performance,
guests
are invited to the COCOA studio for a reception following the
play.
A
Bright Room Called Day, written by Tony Kushner, Pulitzer Prize-winning
author
of Angels in America, and directed by Peter Anthony is a powerful
portrayal
of individuals confronted with political catastrophe. The
Chicago
Tribune heralded A Bright Room Called Day as "brash, audacious
and
a good deal of theatrical fun."
Tickets
for Opening Night for the Arts are $25 and include the Opening
Night
for the Arts Party in the Lincoln Center Columbine Room followed by
OpenStage
TheatreÕs performance of A Bright Room Called Day in the Mini
Theater.

Denver
Center Attractions invites you to purchase tickets to Bill Cosby
before
they go on sale to the public!
Bill Cosby is, by any standard, one of the most influential stars in America
today. His comedic style often centers on the basics of everyday life, providing
wry and extremely funny insights without resorting to gimmicks or low-brow
humor. His show is suitable for the whole family. America's favorite humorist
and legendary star will appear live at The Buell Theatre on March 11. His
concerts feature the famous comedian in an intimate theatrical setting
performing extended shows with no
intermission.
A large screen video display will ensure that the entire
audience
enjoys his renowned facial expressions. Bill Cosby will light
up The Buell Theatre for one-night-only, March 11, 2006 at 8 PM!

TICKETS
FOR BRITTEN'S WAR REQUIEM FEATURING CONDUCTOR MARIN ALSOP NOW ON SALE
The
University of Colorado at Boulder College of Music will present a special
performance of Benjamin Britten's epic "War Requiem" on Wednesday,
May 3 at 7:30 p.m. in Denver's Boettcher Concert Hall. The performance will
feature Marin Alsop, Conductor Laureate of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and
recently named Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony, CU Director of Orchestral
Studies Akira Endo, the University of Colorado Symphony and Chamber Orchestras,
the Colorado Children's Chorale, and the combined choirs of CU-Boulder,
University of Denver Lamont School of Music, and Colorado State University.
Britten's
"War Requiem" was written for the reconsecration of Coventry
Cathedral, the church that had been destroyed during the Battle of Britain in
World War II. Benjamin Britten had been commissioned to write a piece for a new
cathedral that was built next to the ruins of the original structure. The piece
is an extraordinary work of reconciliation, and a warning to future generations
of the senselessness of war. The work premiered in 1962 receiving immediate
critical acclaim and was hailed as a masterpiece.
Tickets
are $20 and are general admission. Discounts are available for students and
seniors. To purchase tickets, call 303-492-8008, visit the CU Concerts Box
Office at 18th Street and Euclid Avenue on the CU-Boulder campus, or go online
