Musical Surprise

My husband, Speedy and I moved to Frisco about 7 years ago from Northern Virginia. The only thing we were unsure about was his music and whether or not he would still be able to play in the area. With great surprise in less than a month we learned about the outstanding musical talent on the islands that ranges from Rodanthe to Ocracoke.

After discovering the rich musical heritage that exists on the Outer Banks, it did not take long to create a show that is called “Frisco Jubilee” and is performed once a week and is open to all…. locals and vacationers. The show is multi-faceted with music ranging from standards and blues, to bluegrass and gospel. Also included are original poetry readings by Johnny Baum. It’s great to see the same people come back year after year to the show, and nice to know we have become an add-on for their vacation’s “must do” list.

Speedy has been able to produce CD’s, (most of the money he makes goes to local charities) and he keeps writing his music. He was also in the movie “Nights in Rodanthe”. Just look for the fiddler!

Our soundman Bob Boyer (also from the DC, Maryland area) worked for NBC and now has Boyer Videos. Bob now does most of the local commercials you see on TV, and does the taping for Dare County meetings and school dance classes, just to name a few. Any music needs you may have for weddings or parties just call Bob for information at 252-995-3540.

I was able to start working two weeks after we moved here at the best company on the Island, Midgett Realty. I work in the Sales department in the Hatteras Village Office and enjoy the people I work with and the support received from the homeowners.

So when you are in town please stop in the Little Grove Church in Frisco for the best shown in town, and Midgett Realty to find that dream vacation spot. Or just stop in to say hello!

Hope to see you soon!
