far there is no sign of him. I understand that today the Sheriff's

dept. will be sending up a plane to look for his van. Nancy Lassiter

anyone knows Dave's instruments and can help look for them please look

around in the pawn shops or anywhere else that instruments might be sold.

JACK BEVERLAND, a self-taught Southern folk artist from San Antonio ( Pasco County), Florida. Working in acrylic, Mr.B.’s paintings are heavily textured and often incorporate glow-in-the-dark paints. Most pictures are created from a title that comes to his mind, usually of scenes from long ago. “

RON HAASE  The old Cracker farmhouses of Florida were the focus of his academic research and the foundation of an active practice designing contemporary houses which have a strong identity with the climate and culture of Florida’s small towns and rural lifestyle. Ron will deliver a lecture on cracker architecture on December 7.  

REED PEDLOW  has a  passion for painting and continues to explore and develop his skills as a fine artist with an approach that has grown more and more frenzied. As a delicate and unique landscape overburdened with accelerating population growth, Florida in many ways epitomizes the conflict between man and nature. My painting is an expression of my attempt to come to terms with this conflict.”

Southern Arts & Culture
An Art and Film Series…

November 14 – Christmas 2008

 

Melrose, Florida. In a series of films and art exhibitions celebrating Southern Arts & Culture, Bellamy Road will host events on six weekends in November and December. A reception is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Friday November 14, 2008 for Alan Saperstein, who will screen his video, Florida Scenes, celebrating the natural beauty of north central Florida. His video of seven short subjects will be followed by a bonfire and concert by Dim Lights. Hors d’ oeuvres and beverages will be served.

  Our exhibition of artworks by Reed Pedlow, Jack “Mr. B.” Beverland and Ron Haase continues through Christmas.

 DIM LIGHTS (Ned Stewart, Gerald Snyder, Karan Newman and Chuck Spitzner)

 Dim Lights is a group of 4 Gainesville area musicians playing lively down-home music.  Ned Stewart, on guitar, has a fabulous voice and picking style, singing songs of Jessie Winchester, Claire Lynch, John Anderson, and Merle Haggard, to name a few.  Karan Newman, on mandolin, fills in with a few vocals of her own and adds harmony to Ned's songs.  Gerald Snyder, vocalist, adds a nice blend to ballads, bluegrass, and folk songs.  His great rhythm guitar fills out the sound with his harmonic vocals and fine melodic leads to the mix.  Chuck Spitzner fills in the spaces and provides a rhythmic strain with the upright bass.  Youre sure to enjoy this quartet with their nice blend of Americana, country, lively bluegrass, and old-time songs and instrumentals.

 Bellamy Road (The David Turner Warner Foundation, Inc.) was incorporated in 2008 as a 501 (c) (3) private operating foundation. It will support the work of creative artists in the visual arts, literature, film, music and other performing arts.

 Much to the delight of the Yearling Restaurant customers, the  Peoples Band (Ron Schmidt, Walter Jones, Toby Terrell, and their newest addition - Ron Bowman) are back playing there on Sunday afternoons (earlier than previously … 12:30  - 4:00 PM).   However, for the next couple weeks, they will be without Schmidt (“self-designated star” and youngest member of the band) as he will be out of the country until the first week in December.   There music runs the veritable musical spectrum -- from country- folk to polka- rap.    The Yearling Restaurant is in downtown Cross Creek, FL, just up the road from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ house (although she no longer lives there).    

=============================
 
In a benefit for Shands Arts in Medicine (www.shands.org/aim), Unity of Gainesville, 8801 NW 39th Avenue will show Julian Lennon's remarkable documentary "whaledreamers" Saturday November 15th at 3:00 and 7:00 pm. This breathtaking Australian film is being shown throughout the world in conjunction with Unity and Peace events (http://www. unityandpeace.org/), uniting communities to celebrate peace, tolerance, understanding and oneness. Narrated by Jack Thompson, this magical film addresses the spiritual bond between whales, dolphins and the world's indigenous peoples, reminding us all of our interconnectedness.
 

Gainesville’s multi-media event features live music, including chants led by Georg Suzuki and Cathy DeWitt, drumming, didgeridoo, and dancing by some Arts in Medicine artists. There will be a “chance drawing”, offering twenty gifts and prizes from local merchants like Leonardo’s 706, Burger King, the Paramount Hotel, sculpture artist Rick Cain and the Hippodrome Theatre.

 

Tickets are $20, and can be purchased by calling 352-373-1030.
