Wonderful. Bravo to all the participants and to Matt. Your presence at the STAGE was a gift.<BR/><BR/>I am a native Californian (Bakersfield and Davis) and as Matt says "There is something magical here in Youngstown". Natives and those "not from around here" are blessed with the opportunity to create a vibrant, connected, compassionate community. And the truth is: "Youngstown It's Not Easy" as a shirt Ray has with a silhouette of a three-legged dog proclaims... Ahhh, who want Easy, it makes you complacent...<BR/><BR/>I have only lived here 14 years and positive change has accelerated over the last 3 or 4... And this past year - whew - hard to keep up with the activities and activists and artists... <BR/><BR/>Home is where the heart is, truly!<BR/>Peace.susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863589101412905491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496138704281070741.post-37325053929850428942007-12-03T19:16:00.000-08:002007-12-03T19:16:00.000-08:00I'm honored, Debra, to be mentioned here. I had a ...I'm honored, Debra, to be mentioned here. I had a couple follow ups. Though not originally a Youngstown native, I've spent much time working on creative endeavors in the city this past summer and fall. So much so, that Youngstown has claimed me her own. I can't convince most people otherwise, so... I'm happy to call Youngstown a second home to the road, California, and the west side of Ohio where I was raised. (I like to be on the move.) It's been a gift to work with the amazing talent here. Having an outsider's prospective, I hope everyone does know that something magical, positive and valid is happening in this community. I hope it is nurtured and encouraged as it should be, as I have grown to love Youngstown.<BR/><BR/>Second, I donated an autographed copy of the novel/CD and copy of my music video for this Sunday's Valley 24 Holiday show at Cedars, which will benefit the Mahoning County Salvation Army. Today,that novel/soundtrack, that I published on my own, just received a great national review in this months 'Performing Songwriter Magazine'. An independent can make a difference! Wherever my travels take me, I will shout and defend Youngstown. ~ Matt PalkaMatt Palkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308295689872772772noreply@blogger.com
