It’s a passion. I enjoy meeting people….

September By John Houzer As the curtain falls on this summer’s movie season, let’s take a moment to appreciate the cinematic ride we’ve been on. The popcorn’s been buttered, the theaters have been packed, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably seen your favorite movie four times just to catch all the Easter eggs.

Kenny Gray – “My Southside”

Posted on August 12, 2024September 2, 2024 by Editor - the Local

Mythmaker By Mamie Pound Every photograph you see is a document of 1/100th of a second. The photographer engages the shutter to capture what’s in front of him, and for that brief moment, he is blind. The result is the product of a chain reaction, only set in motion by the photographer once he pushes that button. It’s a bit of performance art – magic really, according to Kenny Gray, whose collection, “My Southside,” will…

The Columbus Jazz Society

Posted on August 7, 2024August 7, 2024 by Editor - the Local

Gospel Jazz By Dr. David Banks Just as there are at least seven different styles of jazz music, there are at least seven distinct styles of gospel music. It would follow naturally then that the styles, at some point, would overlap or crossover. “Gospel/Jazz” has been coined out of this overlap as a distinct style of music because of what both styles have in common.

Shoal Lily Restoration We stand knee deep in the rushing creek, the water pulling at our feet, sunlight warming our backs as we bend over clusters of tall green stalks. We spread out across the water, our empty bags soon to be filled with green treasures: shoal lily seeds.
