Ryan Travis participated in a talk-back segment at Art Rage earlier this year.
We got word that two artistic figures will be departing: Ryan Hope Travis and Tim Bond. It’s always hard to see good people leave,but we were glad we got to meet them and experience the fruits of their artistic labor.
We wish them both good luck and continued success.

The Future of 81 (continued)
Wednesday, May 13th, 2015We recently heard a talk by David Ashcraft and couldn’t help thinking how much it applied to the I81 Challenge we are facing here in Syracuse. Ashcraft pointed out that when it comes to crucial conversations we must be aware that:
- Opinions Vary
- The Stakes are High
- Emotions are strong.
As the various constituencies and groups continue to debate what is the best use of the thorofare, we hope they remember to ask critical questions, such as what do we want for ourselves, for others, and for the city as a whole?
This kind of constructive dialogue must continue as the city matures into the 21st century.

King, Solazzo and Horrace at Hancock Airport.
Enough is enough. We are going to stop limiting Bill Horrace by calling him a jazz guy. Of course, he can go there, but his musical abilities and ambitions go well beyond the J-word. We’ve seen him (along with a variety of his band incarnations) play pop, folk and soul everywhere from a moving bus to storefronts downtown. In his latest cultural creation, Horrace’s band was the initial guest at the Hancock Airport Music Series, which took place this morning. He was joined by Dave Solazzo on keys and Kinyatta King on drums.
The pleasant tones seemed to put everyone in a good mood, and had airport staff and travelers bopping through the terminal. The tall, peaked ceiling provided surprisingly wonderful acoustics.
We are not sure where he’ll resurface next, but hopefully Horrace will someday lay down his version of some aquaboogie on a boat (or along the shores of Onondaga Lake).
Bill Horrace gets our vote for Central New York’s Secretary of Transportation.

Special thanks to journalist/social media expert Sherri Williams for her comprehensive coverage of “The General Body” and “Stand with Baltimore” movements. Her work (in various forms), as it relates to the #Black Lives Matter Movement, is deserving of an award from the Syracuse Press Club.
