Dreams and Juntas!!

Dreams and Juntas!!

Sunday's production of "It's a Wonderful Holiday," produced by Greg Essington and Will Hearn (see previous post) demonstrated the power of a closely knit group of peers ... working together to fulfill a dream.

A group of our college and high school kids planned, produced and promoted this production entirely by email and phone. And they were enrolled in schools scattered all over the country! The group - held together by the thinnest thread - pulled together on the basis of talents, energy and dreams and it worked.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN formed the earliest Junta in America in 1727. The tiny group eventually evolved into the first American lending library and the University of Pennsylvania.

The power of the Junta is greater than ever ... email, weblogs, cell phones and satellites!! Why don't all of us with dreams in art and music begin our own Junta?

Dreams Comin' Round Again

Last night, College students Will Hearn and Greg Essington amazed a packed audience at the CENTER FOR THE ARTS AND SCIENCES in Brazosport, Texas. Their production of "It’s a Wonderful Holiday" got the audience on their feet several times during the 2-hours of music, dance and comedy.

This pair of first-year college students have hit the first mark of their dream world in music and theater. Will it hold together for them? We certainly hope so. The dreams of the young are the dreams that haunt us throughout life. Maybe they fade, but peek-a-boo and like magic they're back! Especially if a mushy retirement settles into boredom. The dreams come 'round again if we haven't fulfilled them. Call it dharma - Call it destiny - Call it determination ...

That's why we see so many adults - boomers in art classes, pottery workshops and music courses around the country. It's those dreams comin' round again.

Good luck, Will and Greg. We hope you make it to the top of your dream on the first climb!
