Frederick
Hodges - Pianist Frederick Hodges is well known to the ragtime world.
He regularly performs solo piano and also serves as pianist with the Don
Neely's Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. Frederick is a noted silent film
accompanist and is regularly featured at silent film festivals around
the country. He serves as one of the house pianists for the Niles Essanay
Film Museum. Frederick is a favorite at jazz and ragtime festivals around
the country. He is San Francisco's best society pianist playing the sophisticated
and jazzy hits of the Great American Songbook, including the songs of
Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, and the other exciting
composers of the 1920s and 1930s.
Writer
and movie-lover Susan Rushton considers herself a Lifetime English Major.
Toward that end, in addition to teaching creative writing, running Silver
Screen Classic Movie Series at the Auburn Library and writing an opinion
column in the Auburn Journal, she spends some time memorizing and reciting
poetry. "I love to hear the words coming out of me, love to feel
the sounds in my head," she says. Best of all is the knowledge that
the more she memorizes, the more she can memorize. "It's fun, it's
delightful... but if someone wants a practical reason, I do it because
it's good for my brain."
All About Love- A humorous skit by Julia Riley, "All About Love," will
be presented by Lydia and Curt Jones. They will portray a modern day couple
sharing their opinions about love and marriage. Julia Riley is the co-producer
of Pioneer Presents and a versatile and popular flutist.
