Serving the communities of Stayton, Sublimity, Aumsville, Lyons and Mehama

Pair offers humor, harmony

Screenwriter and humorist Jonathan Richard Cring and musician and conductor Janet Clazzy perform a free hour of music, humor and dialogue on Friday, April 17, at The United Methodist Church in Stayton.

This evening of music and monologue, which begins at 7 p.m. at the church – 1450 Fern Ridge Road – includes readings from Cring’s book “Digging for Gold (in the rule,”) with original musical tunes performed by Clazzy on the oboe and WX-5 Wind Machine. Cring also will share insights on the market for movies and art with purpose and spirit.

“Forty-nine minutes is all we have to give you music, humor, dialogue and some fresh insights about bringing creativity into our practical lives,” said Cring, who lives in Hendersonville, Tenn.  “The presentation is a delicate and delicious blending of spirit and humor that produces the wonderful by-product of good cheer.”

Clazzy has played oboe in orchestras for 30 years from coast to coast.  “I have this fabulous instrument called the WX-5 Wind Machine which gives me 250 sounds,” she said.  

A free-will offering will be taken after the service and copies of books, CDs, and DVDs of the movies will be available. For information call 503-769-5700.
