'Sweet Music' Heading Into Ludlow June 1 with Lots of Great Pop Tunes

FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) has made arrangements to bring the popular singing quartet, ‘Sweet Music’ to Ludlow for its first appearance on June 1 at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium at 7 PM.

 ‘Sweet Music’, comprised of Maricel Lucero, Linda Burns, Sara Norcross and Kathy Duhamel, an a cappella quartet, features songs from the popular, jazz, and blues genres from the 30′s to today. The group specializes in close, complex harmonies and conveying the joy of their music. Some of the likely numbers to be included in its program will highlight songs made famous by the Beatles along with such works as And So it Goes – (a Billy Joel song), Stand by Me, Mr. Sandman (from 1954), One Fine Day (1963 by the Chiffons), Girls Just Wanta Have Fun (Cindy Lauper), and Turn the Beat Around (Gloria Estafan).

As a special treat for this performance, FOLA plans to set up tables between the stage and normal seating area to provide a more intimate, cabaret-style setting for what promises to be a great evening of music that everyone will enjoy. Pictured above are the members of 'Sweet Music'; from left to right, Linda Burns, Maricel Lucero, Sara Norcross, and Kathy Duhamel. Advance tickets for this event may be purchased directly through FOLA.

Masterful Comedy, 'Dr. Strangelove', Next FOLA Movie on Thursday, June 7 

Click HERE for a brief preview of Dr. Strangelove

The next ‘1st Thursday’ movie, presented by FOLA on Thursday, June 7 at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium at 7 PM, will be one of the greatest comedies ever made – one that deals with a difficult subject matter in a hilarious manner

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, commonly known as Dr. Strangelove, is a 1964 black comedy film which satirizes the nuclear scare. It was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and featuring Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens. The film is loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel Red Alert, also known as Two Hours to Doom.

The story concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 as they try to deliver their payload.

In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was listed as number three on American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Laughs.

The movie is free to all; donations are appreciated.  For Information, call 228-7239.
