Jammin’ in the Alley cut short by rain
The City of Clarksville Department of Parks & Recreation kicked off the 2010 Jammin’ in the Alley Concert Series last night with a concert by McAllister’s Crossroads. The band consists of Donald Greene- Vocals, Guitar; Randy Suggs- Vocals, Drums; Jim Meek- Vocals, Bass; Matt Jones- Vocals, Guitar; Jason Runyon- Vocals, Guitar.
Around 100 people turned out for the early evening concert, and all age groups were represented in the crowd. The band played a mix of popular tunes from various bands. Their music had the audience dancing, and for the more reserved tapping their hands and feet in time with the beat.
The concert was about half way through when it began to lightly sprinkle which turned into a heavy downpour a short time later. The Parks and Rec Department intended to continue the concert after it stopped raining by drying out the stage with backpack mounted blowers. However when the rain stopped, it resumed even heavier a few minutes later. So the concert was finally called off.

Beauty and the Beast Jr. at the Roxy brings back fond memories
They say your first musical will always be your favorite, and that is the case for me with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, it was the show that was playing when I first ventured into the Roxy Regional Theatre. Their professional production of this Disney classic sparked a continuing love of Musical Theatre in me.
So, when I heard that the Roxy was planning on staging Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr. as part of their 2010 season I was excited as I saw it as as chance to revisit my first musical. And I wasn’t disappointed. Watching those young actors and actresses performing their hearts out, renewed that feeling of wonder that I experienced when I sat in the seats watching my very first show at the Roxy.
