Among the many things Stu Curtis did in Salt Lake was play with a Jazz quartet known as Mainstream. (L to R) Bassist Andy, Drummer Guillermo, Reed Man Stuart, and Guitarist Kevin circa 1981. The group had originally been formed by a professor from the University of Utah who played tenor sax. (Anybody here remember his name?) Mainstream was one of the first musical acts to perform regularly at Tom Bolan's Hole In The Wall Saloon. (See my little memoir about the place.) The band later acquired a quality woman singer, and even featured a tap-dancer for awhile!

A Thirty Year Tradition Continues Today:

Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas in pantomime -- Woody Whitney on violin, Gary McDonough narration, and Patsy Droubay portraying all the characters, in and around Salt Lake City, Utah leading up to the Holidays.

Check out the beginning of Patsy Droubay's Scrapbook Page from Chapter 11 -- Outline.

Lovely Suzzette from De Melkweg and Michael Evans share a snapshot in the University District of A'Dam in 1975.
Do any of our fellow bloggers remember her last name?
Thanks to Ellen B for the photo!

Please contact me (Mike Evans) to arrange easy access to this site, and then follow Blogspot's directions for contributing. Anybody can read these pages and make comments.

The original Salt Lake Mime Troupe, as pictured in the Salt Lake Tribune in April of 1973, just before I started working with the group: Jim Anderson is at the far left, and then there are nine more -- Top Row: Evy Tessman, Patsy Droubay, and Stephanie. 2nd Row: Wendy Loring, musician Franklin Tomorrow, and Matt Child. 3rd Row: Musician/singer Becky Bernson, Katie Apenzeller/Berger AKA Katie Duck, finally musician Steve Rasmussen. There were a few others who weren't in this picture -- like musician Paul Blackwell, musician Jeff, dancer Duffy, and Wendy's corps of Modern Dancers, who performed an animated Pop Art painting in our first concert.
