TODAY. NOT TOO BAD. WELL, NORTH OMAHA MUSIC AND ARTS HAS A COUPLE OF EVENTS COMING UP TO HELP KEEP THEIR MISSION GOING. AND JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT THEM IS DANA MURRAY, WHO’S THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THANKS FOR JOINING US TODAY. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. DANA, DO YOU MIND TELLING ME I KNOW WE HAVE AN EVENT COMING UP TOMORROW, PARTIALLY FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, PARTIALLY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY. TELL ME ABOUT IT. WELL, YOU KNOW, MY BIRTHDAY IS ON SAINT PATRICK’S DAY, SO IT’S A CELEBRATION, RIGHT? IT’S BEEN A CELEBRATION EVERY YEAR SINCE I’VE BEEN BORN. BUT TOMORROW, MORE THAN MY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, WE ARE USING IT AS A FUNDRAISER. SO WE’RE HAVING A CONCERT AND BRINGING IN A LOT OF BIG NAMES, AND ALL THE PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO GO TOWARDS KIDS SCHOLARSHIPS. SO, YOU KNOW, AT NOMA, WE ARE YOUTH MUSIC ACADEMY AND OUR MISSION, WE NEVER WANT A FISCAL BARRIER. WE NEVER WANT THERE TO BE SOME MONETARY MONETARY BARRIER FOR ANYTHING THAT WE DO. SO ANY TIME THAT WE CAN USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE YOUTH, THAT’S WHAT WE DO. WHAT DO THESE SCHOLARSHIPS LOOK LIKE? IS THIS GOING TO INSTRUMENTS? IS IT GOING TO LESSONS? HOW ARE YOU HELPING THESE KIDS OUT? ALL OF THE ABOVE. BUT YOU KNOW, OUR TUITION, EVEN THOUGH IT’S VERY LOW FOR SOME FAMILIES, IT IS IT IS STILL, YOU KNOW, A TASK TO MEET THAT. SO ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO COVER COST OF TUITION TO HELP KIDS WITH BOOKS, INSTRUMENTS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO ALL OF THE ABOVE WHO WANT TO COME OUT, THEY WANT TO SUPPORT MAYBE CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY. WHAT CAN THEY EXPECT FROM TOMORROW’S EVENT? I’M ASSUMING LIVE MUSIC, RIGHT? WELL, I MEAN, ANYONE’S EVER BEEN IN OMA YOU COME IN THERE AND THE SPIRIT IS IS WHAT IT IS. IT IS A GREAT COLLECTION OF PEOPLE. DEFINITELY. IT’S PROBABLY THE MOST DIVERSE COLLECTION OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY. EASY. AND WE HAVE A GREAT TIME. MUSIC IS THE CORE OF WHAT WE DO AND IT IS GOING TO BE FESTIVE. THERE’S GOING TO BE FOOD AND YEAH, LOOK FORWARD TO COMING AND HAVING A GREAT NIGHT. YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT TIME. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE ANOTHER EVENT COMING UP. THERE’S GOING TO BE A GRAMMY AWARD WINNING GUITARIST COMING, RIGHT? YEP. STEPHANE WREMBEL WILL BE THERE IN THE BUILDING. MARCH 26TH AT 7:00. COME CHECK HIM OUT BECAUSE HE’S GREAT. AND WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO BRING IN THIS TALENT TO NORTH OMAHA? YOU KNOW, KIND OF TO SHOW THE COMMUNITY SOMEBODY WHO’S REALLY MADE IT FAR, RIGHT. WELL, YOU KNOW, THE HISTORY OF NORTH 24TH STREET, WE’RE DOING NOTHING NEW. THEY BROUGHT IN NAMES LIKE DUKE ELLINGTON, COUNT BASIE, ELLA FITZGERALD. BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE 50S TO TO SEE THAT. SO WHAT WE LIKE TO LOOK AT OURSELVES DOING IS REVITALIZING WHAT WAS ALREADY THERE. YOU KNOW, REPLENISHING THE SOIL AND MAKING WAY FOR BIG THINGS TO COME. DEFINITELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN. THANKS FOR HAVING A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. THANK YOU. AND IF ANYBODY WANTS TO BUY TICKETS, IF ANYBODY’S CURIOUS, YOU JUST HAVE TO GO T
