WOW, WHAT A NICE DAY TODAY....SUNNY AND 70.
NO COMMENT ABOUT TOMORROW.

"FROM MAIN STREET: MUSIC AND SOUND IN PORTRAIT OF MAQUOKETA" .....A
PERFORMANCE AND TALK LED BY MAQUOKETA ARTIST ROSE FRANTZEN AND
COMPOSER (HER BROTHER) JOHN FRANTZEN WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY,
NOVEMBER 7TH AT 3 P.M. IN THE NAN TUCKER McEVOY AUDITORIUM AT THE
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE'S NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.       THE PERFORMANCE
WILL SHOWCASE THE MUSIC AND SOUNDS INSPIRED BY ROSE FRANTZEN'S ARTWORK IN THE EXHIBITION "PORTRATURE NOW: COMMUNITIES".
FRANTZEN'S "PORTRAIT OF MAQUOKETA" FEATURES 180 PAINTINGS  OF
RESIDENTS OF THE MAQUOKETA AREA.    THE NOVEMBER 7TH AFTERNOON
PERFORMANCE WILL FEATURE A 28 MINUTE SURROUND-SOUND COMPOSITION
USING ORIGINAL MUSIC AND AUDIO CLIPS TAKEN BY JOHN FRANTZEN FROM
INTERVIEWS WITH SOME OF THE  180 RESIDENTS.  THE NOVEMBER 7TH CONCERT
WILL BE PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY A GRANT  FROM THE MAQUOKETA AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.    QUITE A FEW MAQUOKETA PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WASHINGTON, D.C. TO SEE THE CONCERT AND VIEW THE PAINTINGS AT THE SMITHSONIAN.   I BELIEVE A BUS IS GOING AND OTHERS ARE FLYING OUT.    THE180 PORTRAITS WILL BE ON DISPLAY UNTIL NEXT SUMMER AND THEN WILL BE RETURNED TO MAQUOKETA AND BE ON DISPLAY HERE FOR TOURISTS.       KMAQ MAY SPONSOR A BUS TRIP TO  WASHINGTON, D.C. IN APRIL.     THAT DECISION WILL
BE MADE SOON.       I HAVE RECEIVED SOME INTEREST IN SUCH A TRIP.
