Catch this very special concert on Thursday, August 4th in the Listening Room at the Key West Theater! Ben HarrisonSongwriter / Musician / Playwright / Author benharrisonkeywest.com
At his core, Ben is an entertainer who manages to blend history, musical theater, Key West, country music and humor into unusual stories that are mostly true. For 16 years he played music nightly on the famous Duval Street, where—rather than covering the usual barroom standards of the time—he performed original songs with a wry twist, which established him as one of Key West’s most popular musicians. During this period, Ben recorded five different albums. Ben has been a guest on The Howard Stern Show, This American Life, Dr. Demento, The Dick Cavett Show and more. He spent his early years in Corpus Christi, Texas. Primarily inspired by music (and Elvis), Ben bought his first guitar when he was 14 years old. His father loved theatre and took the family in their V-tail Beechcraft Bonanza to stage productions all over the country.
Though Ben still performs live, he also writes musicals, three of which are about Key West. Key West, A Musical Tour About Town is a review of songs about local characters and situations that was performed in various venues including the Red Barn Theatre. Undying Love was performed at The Studios of Key West in 2018. Most recently, Ben has written Jungletown 1921 about a double murder and a hanging on Christmas Day, a “sporting house”, prohibition and the Roaring Twenties— another true Key West story. Larry Baeder Guitarist / Producer / Songwriter larrybaeder.com
Larry is a seasoned contemporary performer and recording artist with an impressive musical history. Larry’s list of musical accomplishments and collaborators is extensive and includes live performances and recording dates with artists ranging from blues legends Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Junior Wells, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, James Montgomery, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Albert King, Bo Diddley and Dan Akroyd (Elwood Blues of the Blues Brothers), to jazz greats like Jay McShann, Illinois Jacquet, Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson, and Claude “Fiddler” Williams.
Baeder has performed in Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Africa. In 1990, Baeder joined the house band at the Apollo Theater in New York City, where he played guitar for the Legends of R&B and Soul revue.
Larry grew up in the celebrated music town of Kansas City, Missouri and graduated from vaunted Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He has served as Board President for Key West’s Bahama Village Music Program in Key West, FL, which gives free music lessons to over 200 underserved children each week.

Part 6 "The MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN EACH STATE" by TRAVEL AND LEISURE Author Anne Olivia Bauso . To Go directly to the Link to see ALL 50 States Click TRAVEL or simply look at the 5 States I put in every Issue. In this Issue we'll feature : NORTH CAROLINA, NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, OREGON, & PENNSYLVANIA. We will Identify the Photographer and Except Noted ALL are from Getty Images. |
Bodie Island Lighthouse is on the Outer Banks in North Carolina Amy Sparwasser/Getty Images This remote stretch of North Carolina coastline has drawn pirates, colonists, and early aviators. Now, it's the realm of beach lovers looking for peace, quiet, white sand, and salt air. Add in the barrier islands' wild dunes (including the East Coast's largest) and multiuse paths — it's actually possible to bike the entire 100-plus-mile length of the Outer Banks — and you've got an amazing region for quaint coastal exploration.
|
Man mountain bikes in North Dakota on the Maah Daah Hey trail Paul Schmidt/Getty Images Hike, bike, or hop on a horse and ride through the remote scenery for which North Dakota is known. This 144-mile system is made up of nine trails with various lengths, difficulty ratings, and backdrops, from grassy prairies to dizzying badlands buttes. It's a timeless American landscape, and the trail is aptly named for the Mandan phrase: "An area that will be around for a long time."

The Palm House surrounded by flowers at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Ohio Courtesy of Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens You can pretend you're in Victorian London in the Crystal Palace-evoking glass greenhouse that is the cornerstone of this botanical landmark. And its biomes and gardens might transport you to the desert, rain forest, and even the Himalayas.
|
Thundercloud Over Prairie, Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, Oklahoma GracedByTheLight/Getty Images Native grasslands, the ecosystem perhaps most powerfully entwined with our national identity, are on the decline. This protected preserve is the largest sweep of tallgrass prairie in the country, and the world. Here, you can see the American plains as they looked centuries ago, with herds of bison (about 2,500 of the shaggy-haired beasts roam freely) and swaths of purple prairie clover.

A wide panorama view of blue water in Crater Lake , Oregon. Shot from Rim Village in the afternoon. Tom Penpark/Getty Images Crater Lake is evidence of the tectonic activity that's eternally shaping the planet. A long-ago eruption formed a giant caldera, which filled with rain and snow over time. The gradual result is a deep lake (the deepest in the country, in fact) with intense blue waters and fantastic clarity. Crater Lake's mountain setting atop the Cascade Range makes it even more hypnotic.
|
Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, USA Tony Sweet/Getty Images The famous Delaware Water Gap area spans 70,000 acres (Pennsylvania and New Jersey), yet its namesake point is where the river carves through the rugged Kittatinny Mountain. See the Gap from Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT, to in-the-know hikers), which offers a clear view from Mount Minsi.

We continue with Part 6 : The natural world is full of beauty, wonder, and mystery. Nature has the power to create life and the power to take it away. As this collection of photographs show, the natural world is full of surprises that can be destructive and deadly or amazing and inspiring. As these images were collected on the world wide web, some may be post-edited or altered. User discretion is advised.
INCREDIBLE SUPERCELL STORM NEAR HOWARD KANSAS You can almost feel the power of this storm. That’s because it is a supercell thunderstorm, a type of storm that is categorized by strong, continuously rotating updrafts. We often see supercell storms form in the Plains states, like in Kansas where this impressive supercell was photographed. They are often observed in the area of South America known as the Tornado Corridor, too. The Tornado Corridor is in parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Supercell thunderstorms influence the weather as far away as twenty miles from the storm and they can last up to four hours. |

VOLCANO ERUPTION IN CHILE It is a good thing that Chile’s Calbuco Volcano is surrounded by a National Reserve. Still more than 1,500 people were evacuated when the volcano erupted three times in April of 2015. The last time this volcanic mountain peak erupted was in 1972. Chile and its Calbuco Volcano are located in the Ring of Fire, a ring of volcanic activity that circles the Pacific Ocean. Almost all…all but three…of the most significant volcanic eruptions in the last 11,000 years happened in volcanoes located in the Ring of Fire. Plate tectonics is responsible for the volcanic activity. |

WHEN UPSET BABY ELEPHANTS THROW THEMSELVES INTO THE MUD LIKE A CHILD HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM What a big baby! Sometimes human babies get overwhelmed, overtired, and frustrated, and the only way they can release the stress is by throwing a temper tantrum. Well, human babies don’t have a monopoly on the tantrum front. Baby elephants have been known to break down and throw a tantrum every now and then. When they do, it is adorably hilarious and downright cute. The baby elephant shown here has thrown himself onto the mud, much to his mother’s dismay, because some aspect of elephant life hasn’t gone his way.

WATER DENSITY TEMPERATURE & SALINITY OF THE GLACIA MELT WATER + THE OFFSHORE WATERS OF THE GULF OF ALASKA MAKES THEM TOO DIFFICULT TO MIX Not all water is the same. The make-up and temperature of ocean water differs greatly and the different types of water don’t always mix well. As this photograph shows, the density and salinity of the fresh water running off a glacier melt is so vastly different than the salty sea water of the Gulf of Alaska. The result is a distinct line where the two types of water meet but don’t mix. |

WHERE DID EVEERYONE GO? As their native habitat diminishes, bears are finding their ways into neighborhoods and backyards. Naturally curious, it is not surprising to see these bears trying out the unfamiliar playthings. This adorable little bear cub has discovered the fun of a slide. Chances are, this little guy’s mother is nearby, watching carefully to make sure her baby is safe. Just because you don’t see her, doesn’t mean she isn’t there. If mama bear senses danger, she will be right there. |
 |
Water spouts can occur in fair weather where there is not storm of tornado activity. They can form on the surface of the water and swirl upward reaching for the clouds. Once the water spout is fully formed, the funnel cloud is clearly visible. They form along the base line of developing cumulus clouds. They don’t often travel far because they form when there isn’t much wind to move them. If a water spout does reach land, fair weather water spouts usually dissipate quickly. They don’t venture too far inland. |

ENCORE FEATURE FOR A REFERENDUM ON THE BALLOT AUGUST 23RD. For Immediate Release, Contact info: Christopher Massicotte, (305) 394-1108. www.kwgardenguardians.com July 12, 2022 Garden Guardians Political Action Committee Announces Campaign to vote YES to grant the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden a 99 year lease from the City Key West - Misha McRAE, Executive Director of the Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden announced the launch of a campaign to educate voters in Key West to vote YES on a referendum to grant the Garden Society a 99 year lease on their property on College Road. “When we approached the city commissioners, all six of them and the mayor were very supportive of this initiative.” McRAE said. “We currently are on year 6 of a 10 year lease and in order for us to secure funding for capital improvements we need to have a long term lease in place,” he added. There will be a City Commission sponsored referendum on the August 23rd Election ballot asking voters to grant the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden a 99-year lease from the city. A local political action committee has been formed, Garden Guardians, to encourage Key West voters to vote yes to approve the measure. “The Garden has been the keeper of the trees for 86 years,” McRAE said. “Over those 86 years we have gone from over 50 acres to 15 acres as development has taken priority over preservation and conservation. We want to preserve the remaining forest for generations to come and enjoy the native species of plants.” The land is owned by the City of Key West and due to the limitations on lease terms this must go to the voters to be approved. The Garden Society, which was formed in 1988 and continues to care for the garden, states that the lease extension will allow them to apply for grants to make much needed capital improvements. Improvements that are planned for the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden include physical maintenance, repairs, and general upkeep of the aging facilities; expansion of the Education offices and opportunities; and ADA compliant Boardwalk repairs. Even more importantly, the 99 year lease will allow the Key West Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden to be more visible with new signage on US1 and an improved entrance. The Tropical Forest & Botanical Garden is home to over 500 species of native plants to the Keys, Cuba, and the Caribbean. It is the only frost-free botanical garden in the continental United States. |
