Ed Perry has always been kind enough to allow me to use his gorgeous nature photos in Arts Blast, and a total lunar eclipse falls into that category. If you magnify this one, you'll see the moon sitting on a star, with other stars scattered around the sky.
Before he retired, Ed was a park ranger at Sebastian Inlet State Park. He lives in Brevard County.

Sopranos Mary Anne Kruger and Amy Cofield both live in Brevard County. Separately, they have enjoyed international careers as opera singers. Together — they are the Space Coast Divas. Ms. Kruger has spent most of her career in Europe singing well over 40 glorious roles such as Madama Butterfly and Salome. Ms. Cofield has likewise performed in the U.S., Europe and Asia, often being sought for Violetta, the lead role in Verdi’s La Traviata. As Space Coast Divas, the pair will present Love, Death and Madness, featuring the works of Puccini, Verdi, Bellini, Offenbach, Strauss, Wagner and other master composers of the form. Accompanied by your Space Coast Symphony, the singers will perform a range of works through the Bel Canto and Romantic, to the Verismo and Modern periods to experience how love, death, and madness are portrayed through compelling characters, lush music and soaring voices. | That's followed by America the Beautiful June 25. | Information on the entire season, ticket-buying options, donating, and choosing something to sponsor on the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra's Wish List is online. | |

Bill DeYoung at A.C.T. Studio Theatre with
"Mayday: Captain Lerro and the Skyway Bridge"
| |
|
Locals will remember journalist Bill DeYoung from his days as arts and entertainment editor at Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers between 2003 and 2008, when he and his wife picked up stakes and moved to Savannah, Georgia. A press release from A.C.T. Studio Theatre in Stuart told me he'd be there as playwright of a special presentation, "Mayday: Captain Lerro and the Skyway Bridge" on May 27, 28, 29.
Somehow, our schedules worked earlier today and he was able to take time for an Arts Blast Q&A this afternoon:
| |
For background, can we start with where you went from Stuart and why? I came to Stuart in 2003, after 22 years at the Gainesville Sun. Met my future wife there, and together we moved to Savannah in 2008. We've been in St. Petersburg (my hometown) since 2014.
Did you hold any position other than columnist and was it Scripps at the time? I was the Arts & Entertainment Editor, for what was called Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers (between Jupiter and Vero).
Have you always been an author/playwright/performer with a little journalism on the side or was it the other way around? Journalist always - started as a stringer for the Tampa Bay Times, went to Gainesville for college in 1981 and ended up spending all those years as a writer and editor at The Sun.
Were you living on the west coast and old enough to have been affected by it when the Skyway accident happened? I was 21 at the time and like many people I remember the day clearly. It is still the darkest day in the history of Tampa Bay.
How many years afterwards did you see it as a book and begin your research? It was 2008, the first year in Savannah. This story had always been in the back of my mind, but this was the moment I started really, really thinking about it as a research project. Nobody else had done it - it was a book I wanted to read!
| |
|
How willing were people to talk about it for a book? Captain Lerro's ex-wives declined to speak with me, but his son did, and he was a great, great help. John's closest friends from the SUNY Maritime Academy remained his closest friends until the day he died. It took a little convincing - I believe everyone was afraid of another "hatchet job," making John the villain - but once they came around they were very open with me. And I didn't "promise" anyone anything; from the start I was going to write the facts as I uncovered them. I read many thousands of pages of court documents, depositions and official reports.
| |
When did you begin to see it as a play? I did dozens of talks at universities, libraries, book festivals etc, all over the state, and every time, the audiences were so terribly moved by John's story. He really was quite the Shakespearean tragic figure. I thought 'What if he could talk directly to people, and tell them his story himself?'
Has it been performed before this run at A.C.T.? I wrote this for the 40th anniversary of the disaster in 2020; Covid prevented that. So we did a three-production run in June 2021, and then this February di a full run of 12 shows, all here in St. Pete with Michael Horn - who literally channels Captain Lerro. He is brilliant.
What’s next for the play and for you? As for the play, I'm looking forward to the ACT production and it's my hope that other theater companies will want to tell this dark, complex story. These days I'm promoting my Vintage St. Pete book series. I am Senior Writer and Editor at the St. Pete Catalyst.
What other arts interests do you have? Might I have seen photos of you playing in a band? I've been a guitar player since I was 12 or something; I'm a record collector and a Beatles nut.
Memorial Day Weekend A.C.T. Studio Theatre will present a Florida history event, "Mayday: Captain Lerro and the Skyway Bridge" by Bill DeYoung. Performances are May 27, 28, 29. Photo: Michael Beecher as Captain Lerro. Playwright Bill DeYoung will be at A.C.T. for a theater talkback on May 28. Directed by Dennis O'Donovan. Tickets and info: actstudiotheatre.com; (772) 932-8880. Tickets $25. Photo courtesy of A.C.T. Studio Theatre.

Spotlighting Young Musician Dylan Rhodes
Dylan Rhodes of Melbourne, Florida, is a 17-year-old high school junior. He has enjoyed playing the piano for over 12 years and is currently under the tutelage of Dr. Yun-Ling Hsu in Orlando. In addition to the piano, Dylan also plays percussion, the clarinet, alto saxophone, and oboe and is part of the Space Coast Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Melbourne Community Orchestra. In addition, Dylan plays weekly in his church orchestra at First Baptist Church of Melbourne. He recently participated in the Florida Federation of Music Clubs state competitions and received first place in the Sacred Piano Solo and Sight-Play Piano categories. Judges there nominated him for the prestigious Irene Muir Memorial Award for a “junior of extraordinary talent and potential.” Dylan attended summer music camps in Pensacola, Florida in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In recent years, Dylan has participated at the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse as both an actor and musician. He will be performing Rhapsody in Blue with the Melbourne Community Orchestra in their season-ending concert in June of this year. He is currently employed at Atlantic Music Center and enjoys the opportunity to work around their exceptional pianos. Because classical piano performance is his favorite form of musical expression, Dylan plans to master the art. To that end, he will begin classes at the University of Florida in the fall of 2022, where he will major in Biomedical Engineering and minor in music.

Weekends Are Back at Riverside Theatre! | |
After you've toured the Citrus Museum in downtown Vero Beach, take a short day trip to the Lake Wales History Museum for SUMMERTIME CITRUS - Advertising Florida Citrus: 1800s through 1960s.The labels in this exhibit are from the collections of the Museum of Florida History. They are representative of the thousands used between the late 1800s and the 1960s. After that time, the predominant form of citrus consumed in the U. S. was concentrated fruit juice instead of the traditional whole fresh fruit. At the same time, preprinted cardboard boxes replaced wooden crates, and labels were no longer needed | |
|
This is something I happened to stumble across online on May 20. There's much more on the website of the Museum of Florida History.
The History of 20th of May
On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing enslaved people in the rebelling Southern states.
“That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free...."
Emancipation Proclamation
It was more than two years later at the end of the Civil War, on May 10, 1865, that Union Brigadier General Edward M. McCook arrived in the state capital of Florida, Tallahassee, to take possession of the city from Southern forces. General McCook established his headquarters at the Hagner House, now known as the Knott House, located four blocks from the State Capitol. On May 20, after official control of the region was transferred to Union forces, he declared the Emancipation Proclamation in effect. That same day an announcement arrived in Tallahassee sent by Major General Quincy A. Gillmore via train from Jacksonville. General Gillmore's Special Order Number 63 noted that "the people of the black race are free citizens of the United States."
|  | |
Notice in the Floridian and Journal, May 20, 1865 regarding the Emancipation Proclamation
Newly freed slaves celebrated this announcement with a picnic at Bull's Pond, which is located in Tallahassee and today called Lake Ella. Since that first celebration in 1865, communities in Tallahassee have annually celebrated May 20th as Emancipation Day, and today, activities still are held throughout the city.
“Yesterday was a great day with the Freedmen. It was the anniversary of Gen. McCook’s General Order announcing their freedom, based on Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation of 1863. At an early hour, they commenced coming into town and by 9 o’clock the streets were pretty well crowded….the procession marched up Main street, with the U.S. flag flying at intervals along their ranks. During their march, and all along the road out to the speaking ground, the air was frequently rent with cheers raised through the whole line….In spite of the efforts of the head men to keep them out of the lines, the women would fall in at different places, not being willing that the men should have all the “fun.” The procession arrived at the ground near Bull’s Pond, about a mile from the town, at 11 o’clock, where some time was consumed in arranging everything preparatory to the commencement of the speaking.”
Excerpt from the Semi-Weekly Floridian, May 21, 1867
Sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture

Artists Support Vero Beach Art Village in Exhibit
More than 30 prominent local artists have contributed their work to support the development of the Vero Beach Art Village. An exhibit displaying this work will be held from May 21-28 at Raw Space Gallery.
“We put out a call to local artists to support the new Art Village downtown and were gratified that more than 30 prominent local artists responded,” said John Ryan, president of the Friends of the Vero Beach Art Village. This is just the kind of support we need to make the new Art Village a success”
The exhibit’s opening night will be held on May 21st from 5-9 p.m., at Raw Space Gallery, 1795 Old Dixie Hwy, Vero Beach, FL 32960. The opening night will feature speakers, a silent auction of the art, and information about the development of the Art Village.
The Vero Beach Art Village is a reimagining of the historical Edgewood neighborhood in the city’s downtown area as a living celebration of the arts. Its zoning as a special purpose district allows a mixed residential and commercial environment where artists and other small merchants can live, work, and sell their art. Visit the website at verobeachartvillage.com.
The Friends of the Vero Beach Art Village is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization formed to promote the success of the new Art Village located in the historic Edgewood neighborhood in downtown Vero Beach, Florida. This organization grew out of a multi-year project of the Cultural Council of Indian River County to make the vision of a downtown Art Village a reality.

| Melbourne Municipal Band - Hidden Gem | |
Melbourne Municipal Band (MMB) is well-known in the area for its community concerts. One of the “hidden gems” of the MMB is its vibrant Small Ensemble Program. These are groups of MMB musicians who have formed small ensembles to play specific styles of music.
Swingtime is the largest and one of the oldest of MMB’s small ensembles. Formed in the 1980s, Swingtime is a 20-piece swing band that plays music from the 1930s to the 1970s. Swingtime plays concerts every other month and holds three dances a year in the Melbourne Auditorium.
Swingtime Lite is an eight-piece band that plays music similar to Swingtime.
The Swingtimers Vocal Trio was formed seven years ago to sing music of the Swing Era with Swingtime. Songs like Dorsey’s Sunny Side of the Street and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy were part of this phase. Later, the trio broadened its repertoire to include music of Manhattan Transfer and pop.
Five years ago, Swingtime Lite Director Art Martin approached the Swingtimers Vocal Trio director, Dave Hutson, and proposed that the two groups perform together as the Rock & Roll Revue. This was done and Rock & Roll Revue has become a great success playing music of the 1950s and 1960s to our audience of Baby Boomers.
The Oh Golly Dixieland Band ensemble has been around for at least 30 years. As the name implies, this ensemble plays Dixieland music, some of the happiest music around.
The Sunshine Brass Quintet, the Mel-bones, the Adagio Sax Quartet, 3 Gen Flutes, and Clarinetics are examples of instrument-specific ensembles that play a variety of music styles from jazz to classical and everything in between.
MMB’s Small Ensemble Program is a rich complement to the concert band and to the community.
All the small ensembles are available for hire. Contact the MMB Business Office at 321-724-0555 or info@melbournemunicipalband for more information about MMB’s small ensembles.
