Live Jazz Music

Come celebrate the historic comeback of BTS! Returning to the stage together after the completion of their mandatory military service, BTS has dropped a brand new album, taken over the heart of Seoul city for their homecoming concert (compete with Netflix Specials), and launched a world tour. This comeback represents a historic inflection point—not only for the group itself, but for the broader dynamics of global music production, fandom mobilization, and transnational cultural exchange. If this is your first BTS comeback, come ready to talk about your first impressions, and if you've been around the block before, come ready to tell us how you feel about how the group has evolved with 'Arirang'. Together, let's explore the strategic, artistic, and socio-cultural dimensions of BTS’s return, considering how the group has leveraged narrative continuity, digital platforms, and fan engagement to sustain unprecedented global influence. We'll also have a focused analysis of the “SWIM” music video, unpacking its visual symbolism, choreography, and narrative structure as it serves as a love letter from BTS to their fandom.

[The Conservatory Classic Jazz Band](http://www.ccjazzband.com/) opens and closes the music, with a Jam Session at the end of each set. All are welcome to sit in or just sit back and enjoy!

My favorite Country Western Hanks - Hank Penny, a King of Western Swing; Hank Snow, “_I’ve Been Everywhere_”; and Hank Williams, America’s original punk rocker; all left their stamp on Country Western music. These three and a few other Hanks will be celebrated this Sunday by Karen Collins and the Backroads Band alongside a posse of guest artists including Willie Barry of the RockASonics. My 3 Hanks playlist on Spotify - [3 Hanks ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Hlk571KCbWSy9FIvBYiDK?si=pASSZeYuQZy6xzKxHxCvCg&pi=cAap48GnRUull) . The music starts at 6 but come early to get a seat, as this show is likely to sell out. The cover for this show is $10. I will most likely be at bar in my honky tonk 🤠 best. Hank Dietles Tavern is MoCo’s roadhouse and possessor of the first post prohibition alcohol license.

Also, reach out to a friend and work up a duet – they are fun and always welcome. In the past we have had duets with two pianos, with singers, and with the clarinet, and they bring a nice variety of music to our meetings. We will have snacks, finger food, light drinks, beer and wine, but your donations of food and drink are always welcome. Parking is on the street near my house. I hope to see you on March 29th.

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
