Hornbuckle and Robert Tucker were my OB-GYNs. Dr. Wedgeworth was the attending Pediatrician. Their total fee was $75.00 to be paid out over the 7 month period remaining before the birth. My shared room was about 14.00 a day and both times I stayed for 4 or 5 days. My, how things have changed. My current primary doctor left the facility several months ago ahead of the collapse.sjw Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816018485541668658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822716.post-71081398322402148432013-03-24T02:05:04.380-07:002013-03-24T02:05:04.380-07:00Hi - I'm trying to find out some information a...Hi - I'm trying to find out some information about Willie "Poppa Bill" Caston, the DJ and member of the Ever Ready Gospel Singers.

The show has touched people throughout the country in ways I never anticipated. In addition to professional theatres, I've performed the show at domestic violence conferences, trauma conferences, gender conferences and prayer conferences as well as colleges, fringe festivals and high schools. If you like your theatre moving, funny and current, I'm sure you'll enjoy DODGING BULLETS.

But I...Robert - a fair and interesting question. But I've a deeper one for you: what's popular...and why? To me, one of the biggest problems an artist faces is that far too many people tend to allow critics to do their thinking for them. The Sheeple like what they're told to, either by the critics, or by "influential patrons." This is not new. The patronage system is as old as art itself. <br /><br />But how do we break free from this model? More importantly, how can an artist effectively turn their art into a living, without either critics or patronage? <br /><br />I wish I knew. It's the eternal struggle betwixt "art" and "commerce." Most artists I know that have any commercial success set aside some time for personal projects that allow them to escape - if only for a while - the pressures of delivering what the public (thinks) they like. <br /><br />I can't think of many artists who were fearless enough to reinvent themselves, regardless of public opinion. (Picasso springs to mind. Can you name another?) <br /><br />But back to your original point, I don't care who the critic is - I like making up my own mind. To me, a critic serves to bring art to my attention, but I reserve the right to think for myself. Sadly, I don't think that methodology is shared by many.Brad Kozakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687225856606502339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822716.post-2793904571373567682012-02-27T17:29:14.424-08:002012-02-27T17:29:14.424-08:0020 years ago I would have loved to see Garrison Ke...20 years ago I would have loved to see Garrison Keillor do a live show.
