The Rotary Club of Red Bluff will present Dueling Pianos Plus at 7:30 p.m. Fri- day performed by the High Street Band at the State Theatre. All net proceeds go to the Rotary Foundation, which gives back to the community to fund schol- arships and various other projects. High Street, hailing from Idaho, is a show band that not only has aesthetic appeal but the solid musi- cianship to go with it. One of the Northwest's most entertaining bands, its repertoire includes cover songs and originals in a mixture of swing, blues, R&B, Latin, oldies and ballads. High Street's perfor- mances include the Atlan- tic Dance in Walt Disney World, Boise River Festi- val, the Boise 2000 Millen- nium Show, the Governor's Inaugural Gala Concert and many other national and re- gional festivals and fund- raisers. Most recently they were the showcase band for the International Festivals & Events Association Con- vention at Bally's in Las Ve- gas. Dueling Pianos Plus is one of many shows that the High Street Band per- forms. This show is an ex- citing interactive take on the classic Dueling Pianos concept. Four musicians playing piano, organ, sax, drums, bass, guitar, uku- lele, flute and featuring three-part harmony. It's a party. Tickets are $20 and available at Amundson Physical Therapy, Tehama Country Visitor Center and www.statetheatreredbluff. com. The State Theatre is proud to serve local wine and beer at its bar. STATETHEATRE High Street Band to perform Dueling Pianos Plus COURTESYPHOTO Dueling Pianos Plus will be performed by the High Street Band at the State Theatre. Betsy Larimer displayed her nostalgic pen and ink depictions of historical buildings in Willows at a recent meeting of the Red Bluff Art Association. She created these in honor of her husband Cliff's 50th class reunion. Now Betsy has received word that the drawings will be displayed in the Willows Museum. Sites shown include the old Willows Grammar School, the Glenn County courthouse in the 1940s, the old Willows Hotel, teen hangout Tops Drive In back in the 1950s, Alta California Dairies, Ord Ferry in 1940s, the First National Bank building, the Tower The- ater in the 1950s, St. Mon- ica's Church in the 1950s and Kilpatric's Market in the 1950s. "It was a joy to see Betsy's beautifully detailed draw- ings," said Art Association President Kathy Brehm. Betsy is managing the as- sociation's library with its collection of books, maga- zines, videos and other in- structional materials. Betsy says that she is a self-taught artist, although for a period of time she did participate in an artists' group that met weekly. A retired professor led the group. This professor felt that all involved were artists and advised them to paint what they wanted and what they saw. Betsy prefers real- ism and enjoys drawing and painting with oils. To see Betsy's works on display, visit the Willows Museum in the Old Carn- egie Library building, 336 W. Walnut St. Its hours are 1-4 p.m. Thursdays and Sat- urdays. Prints of her work are available by sending an email to cliff.larimer@ya- hoo.com. The art association brings art opportunities, ed- ucation and enrichment to the North Valley and meets 10 a.m. to noon Thursdays at the Tehama District Fair- ground, 650 Antelope Blvd. in Red Bluff.
