Project Overview
Music legends Becky Buller, Dick Kimmel and Jerilyn Kjellberg presented a 60-minute oldtime and bluegrass music program for children and their families. Buller, who is from St. James and lives in Nashville has played her music all over the world. She lent her talent to the latest CD by Dick Kimmel & Co., "Dreamin," and she was in the local area to play several shows with Dick Kimmel & Co. Dick Kimmel and Jerilyn Kjellberg were recently inducted into the Mid-America Music Hall of Fame.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees will learn something about the instruments the musicians played, learn something about the type of music that was played and express interest in listening to more music by these musicians or by other bluegrass musicians.

Measurable Outcome(s)

109 people attended the concert. Surveys reflect that the majority of patrons enjoyed the program and most of them learned something about bluegrass music and the instruments played. The majority of patrons attending the concert were also hearing Becky Buller perform for the first time. Those patrons who expressed interest in checking out bluegrass music CDs from the library was about 50% but one patron admitted he/she would rather own the CDs than check them out from the library.
