Welcome to the James Exchange, I am your host, Nancy Gill. It has been awhile since I put out anything, and the time is now.

I had a fantastic conversation with Terri Long. She is a local artist who has been part of the art scene for quite awhile. She has shown her work up and down Valley Street…and to lands beyond!

I took this opportunity to play around with some new equipment. There are a few glitches but all in all, things worked out well.

And, as always, if you have a song, a story, an event or an issue you would like to discuss, we are always there for a conversation!

Greetings from the James Exchange, I am your host Nancy Gill. A couple of Sundays ago I sat down with Stevie Loebs to talk about SCAN’s new venture, The Gallery on Valley.

Gallery Hours:THURSDAY: 12:00 - 4:00 pmFRIDAY: 12:00 - 4:00 pmSATURDAY: 10:00 - 4:00 pmSUNDAY: 12:00 - 4:00 pm

Submissions for the next show which opens on May 1 are now open. Submit your work!

On another note, the Scottsville Museum opens today with a book event “Jefferson on Display” by local author G.S. Wilson. See you at 3:00!

And, as always, if you have a song, a story, an event or an issue you would like to discuss, perhaps it is time for a conversation!

The James Exchange was live earlier this afternoon. Did you miss it? Well, here you go!

Tomorrow the Gallery on Valley has its grand opening with ribbon cuttings and the works. And, not to detract from their glory, Hilltop Seafood opens tomorrow as well.

Have fun in Scottsville! Lots on the horizon.

Hey everybody, welcome to the James Exchange. If it is early, Liz must be doing something. Today we didn’t get a weather report, but what a stunning sunrise.

As always, if you have a song, a story, an event—speaking of which have you purchased your tickets to “Dear Jack, Dear Louise”? It is the latest production of the Victory Hall Players!

At the Theater:

Two shows to go! Tonight at 7:30 and tomorrow (3.2) at 3:00. Get your tickets.

More music coming your way…Friday, March 7 at 8:00 pm…Jeremy Short will be in the house! He has something for everyone. Get your tickets.

Calling All Artists:

SCAN has a GALLERY at 460 Valley Street! Ribbon cutting is on March 20 at noon. And, they need ART. Deadline is next Saturday. Apply here. The theme is “Arts and Nature.”

Again, if you have a song, a story, an event or an issue you would like to discuss, perhaps it is time for a conversation.

Liz is back again today. It is Thursday, February 20. This is the James Exchange with Liz at the helm!

Yesterday, she asked what your favorite snow memory is. So, here is your chance to let her know:

A quick three questions for those who like to take surveys!

Dear Jack, Dear Louise: A Staged Reading Play

U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday if the war will allow. But as the war continues, it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship during World War II and the results are anything but expected.

Friday, Feb. 28 at 7:30, Saturday, March 1 at 7:30 and Sunday, March 2 at 3:00.Tickets $12 - $15.00

Jeremy Short: Let it Shine Tour 2025

“A little bit Marvin Gaye, a little bit Pink Floyd and a little bit Tyler Childers, Jeremy Short’s jam-fueled Appalachian soul music proves that there’s a lot more than country and bluegrass music radiating from the Eastern Kentucky mountains. Short’s epic tales will leave you dancing with jubilation one moment and crying the next. His unique blend of Appalachian soul music is incredibly effective and authentic because Appalachia is such an integral part of his own soul, and always will be.” (Matt Wickstrom)

Friday, March 7 at 8:00. Tickets

That’s it for today!
