Editor,
Are people so hunkered down at home with their electronics that there is no longer interest in getting out and enjoying the wonderful live music offered at special events in Eureka Springs and Holiday Island?
The turnout for the Brubeck Brothers concert at the Aud – which was a world-class event – was pitiful. A repeat of the same low turnout for the Holiday Island Rotary Club’s event on Saturday featuring a Dixieland Band. Not only did these guys know how to make music and have everyone’s toes tapping, they were an inspiration through doing what they loved. The keyboard player is a WW II vet and he could tickle the ivory, for certain.
How much longer will the Aud and local organizations be able to put on such events if locals do not support them? We have treasures right here. No smart phone, tablet, notebook, etc., necessary.
