NYE and Headed Into 2025

NYE: If you love country music, come hear Conway Turley at Townz Family Billiards and Beverages. I get to spend some well needed time behind the pedal steel!

Friday is FIRST FRIDAY in Zanesville, and I would love it if you come to our Songwriter Showcase at BunkoJess, Friday at 6pm! All original music performed for you, as you enjoy our art gallery and some choice works of Paula R. Lively! The performing writers include: Taisha Holland Hina, Jen Richardson, Mike Bowman, Paul Mainini, Makenna Miller, Michael Rawlings, David Cooper, and I. Spend First Friday with us!

Growing up for me was being immersed in Dad’s music studio where he taught thousands of students to play, and nothing symbolized that for me like Dad’s “Ol’ Guitar”. It was a vehicle for so many of life’s lessons, and I hope it will be for my son too.

I’d love it if you gave it a listen:
