In this edition of The Art Parlor, you’ll hear from our guest and recent FIA member, Darrow Loucks, who also joined us at ACB Radio about 10 months ago. He tells an engaging story of his upbringing with parents who were both involved in radio. While you might imagine the influence of music to be a given for Darrow in these circumstances, there is more to the story – from radio and beyond. You’ll also hear about Darrow’s regular shows on ACB Radio Café, which are well-crafted and which are a pleasure to hear.

This month on The Art Parlor, you’ll learn about long-time Friends in Art member, Peter Altschul. Music has been a part of his life since he was very young and alternative meter and rhythm became part of his game. Can you blame him? He is, after all, a drummer. As a form of Christmas Card, he wanted to send an audible version. He created some very interesting takes on some of the Christmas Carols we know and love. You’ll get to hear many on this show including what led up to their creation. So get ready for the great caroling, with a twist!

It is our pleasure to bring to you our interview with FIA member and guest on this month’s show, Wayne Pearcy! An accomplished musician possessing enthusiasm and spirit, this interview will introduce listeners begining with his early life and how music and the trumpet naturally became a part of it. Showing advanced potential early on, it is no wonder he has come so far and continues to shine brightly in his field. Just look at this excerpt I grabbed from his site — www.waynepearcy.com:

Wayne Pearcy is a New England area trumpeter and composer who has won numerous accolades, perhaps most known by the jazz community for placing second globally as a soloist at the ITG College Jazz Competition in 2011. His rich tone and lyrical playing style have earned him studies with some of the heavy hitters in Jazz, including Tiger Okoshi, Darren Barrett, and Wynton Marsalis.

Isn’t that amazing? And it doesn’t stop there. Enjoy the show and stay tuned at the end for his demonstration of the natural trumpet. Art Parlor airs tonight at 8PM on ACB Radio Mainstream and repeats Sunday at 8AM, Tuesday at 7AM, and Wednesday at 7PM.

Thank you for listening and for your support of Friends in Art.

Welcome, everyone, to the Art Parlor brought to you by Friends in Art! This month, our esteemed guest is Harvey Miller. Composer, professor, choir master, vocalist and player of multiple instruments are just a few words that only begin to describe this beautiful soul. At seven years old, he began studying piano, beginning vocal lessons a year later. Entering the North Carolina School for the Blind at age ten, he studied piano, voice, violin, cello, and organ, and participated in choral and orchestra ensembles.

I can go on, but the show does that beautifully and I hope you enjoy it as much as those of us on the panel did. It airs on ACB Radio Mainstream beginning Sunday morning at 8AM, Tuesday at 7AM, Wednesday at 7PM, and Saturday at 8PM and will continue throughout the month. You can also listen at these times by telephone. Call (518) 906-1820 and select option 1 for Mainstream. For a full schedule, visit www.acbradio.org/mainstream .
