Capacity Crowd At
Concert Last Night
A capacity crowd of music
lovers filled the Community Meth
odist Church la9t evening for one
of the finest concerts of classical
music to be heard in Nome for
a long time.
•' '1 • • * *»
The program, which was plan
ned by Cpl. Barksdale White of
the U. S. Signal Corps, at the in
itiation of Rev. Robert Treat as an
expression of appreciation to
Juanita Fagerstrom for her musi
cal contribution to the commun
ity and her church, was beauti
fully executed throughout.
Cpl. Carl Rerreckman played
three well known numbers not
usually performed on the saxo
phone which showed versatile
ability and understanding. He
played two numbers by Schubert,
Serenade and Ave Maria, and
Tschaikowsky’s None but the
Lonely Heart.
Rev. Clark Lewis surprised
many in the audience, who had
not heard him sing, rendering
Deep River and the LosJ Chord
with fine interpretation and ex
pression.
Bill Boucher, Jr. made his first
public appearance playing a pair
of trumpet solos, Neopolitan Nights
and the Little Old Garden.
A group*of three, duets by Juan
ita Fagerstrom and Cpl. White
was one of the most popular
groups of the evening and in
cluded Cruger’s Now Thank We
All Our God, Brahm’s Lullaby, j
And Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6.
Nome's favorite duet singers,
Carrie McLain and Mrs. Robert
Treat, sang Trees and the Twenty
Third Psalm.
Cpl. Barksdale White, (popular
and talented pianist, who directed
the entire program, played four
groups of well known piano selec
tions, opening the program with
Brahms Rhapsody in G Minor,
which he played with skill and
well practiced technique. This was
followed by a group of favorites
by Chaminade, Schumann and
Chopin which were very well re
ceived.
His artistry, ability and dexter
ity were expressed best in the
third group which included De
bussy’s Clair de Lime and Cho
pin’s Valse in C Sharp Minor.
Cpl. White closed the program
with the well known Raohman
I inoff Prelude in C Sharp Minor,
after which the audience were re
luctant to leave.
It is hoped that this program
will be the inspiration for more
musical treats of this kind from
time to time. Cpl. White is to be
complimented for giving so gen
erously of his time -for the musi
cal enjoyment of the people of
Nome.

• Suggestion No. 3
-
One or more of the retired old timers
could cooperate in the tourist program and -
for a small charge demonstrate beach mining
for which Nome is famous.
If they could sell small nuggets to the
tourists, it would be an additional thrill as
well as a souvenir from the golden sands of
Nome.
