SUNDAY 10.4 at The Bradbury Project: MUSIC!

 

Our many hours of events begin today with our friends from Virtual Community Radio as they share an hour of Halloween Mid-Century Classics in Green Town Park.

Sit, dance, hang-out and enjoy as VCRadio brings their monthly First Sunday music set to The Bradbury Project. TODAY: The Bradbury Project's Green Town is patterned after a mid-century America small town in Illinois. Join Caledonia Skytower as she plays Halloween classics of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.

VCRadio believes Sunday afternoons are the perfect time to treat yourself to something special, and the invite you to join them on the First Sunday (usually) afternoon of each month as they present a different musical treat: around an hour of music on a theme. It could be anything — new age music, orchestral classics, soundtracks, or music celebrating a particular culture.

Green Town Park is just a short stroll from the landing point - step out the garage door and turn left.

SUNDAY, October 20th at 1:30pm: THE HALLOWEEN TREE Continues

 

"They soared over hills and meadows and farms. They saw themselves reflected in dusky moon-bright streams, creeks, rivers. They brushed down over ancient trees. The wind stirred by their passing shook down whole government mints of coins, leaves, bright showering to the black-grassed earth. They flew over the town and thought—

"O look up! see! here we are! your sons!

"And thought: O look down, there somewhere are our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, teachers! Hey, here we are! O, someone, see us! or you’ll never believe!"

Ray Bradbury's transformative tale of youth, life, death, and Halloween continues, in the Story Tour format with presenters David Abbot and Caledonia Skytower guiding guests through the story while visiting the elements of the story and Bradbury's work that inspired the region.

SUNDAY, October 13th at 1:30pm: THE HALLOWEEN TREE Begins

 

"It was a small town by a small river and a small lake in a small northern part of a Midwest state. There wasn’t so much wilderness around you couldn’t see the town. But on the other hand there wasn’t so much town you couldn’t see and feel and touch and smell the wilderness. The town was full of trees. And dry grass and dead flowers now that autumn was here. And full of fences to walk on and sidewalks to skate on and a large ravine to tumble in and yell across. And the town was full of . . . Boys.

 "And it was the afternoon of Halloween."

Ray Bradbury's transformative tale of youth, life, death, and Halloween begins, in the Story Tour format with presenters David Abbot and Caledonia Skytower guiding guests through the story while visiting the elements of the story and Bradbury's work that inspired the region.
