When Christal Wheeler accepted her role as Director for TCT's upcoming "The Best of Broadway," it wasn't exactly according to plan. Christal's love for the arts began long before she moved from Bakersfield to a small California town in the northern Sierras called Susanville. It didn't take long for boredom to set in, so Christal began looking for an outlet that might fulfill that void. Christal was always attracted to the arts, particularly music, and when she discovered Susanville's "The Best...
I’m just as quick as anyone else to whine “why me?” when something goes wrong through no fault of my own, and I can be just as slow as anyone else to realize when I just plain luck out in spite of myself. Today I’m remembering one of those latter times: Lucking out I was on my first solo cross-country motorcycle trip, summer, 1986 — San Francisco to Denver and back again — and I was having the time of my life. My schedule allowed me to take my time and see the sights, and one of the sights I wan...
Now that March is finally here, we're starting to see the first hints of green in Tehachapi. With the cold, wet winter, the weather seems more normal this year. The trees did not bud out in February, and the daffodils are just starting to push up their green spears. What a perfect year to celebrate "the wearing of the green" on St. Patrick's Day. To Fiddlers Crossing, it's all the more perfect because it comes on a Friday, which means there will be music in the popular downtown venue. A special...
I've been marching all my life, in one way or another; I've been to many types of rallies, protests and marches over the last 50 years, and while I am still active in many ways -- advocating for a more just and equitable world for everyone -- I kinda thought my actual "marching" days were over. Then came the recent Women's March on Washington on January 21 and I wanted to be there. Ultimately, I became part of the "Women's March – Los Angeles - Tehachapi Squad" (started on facebook by a c...
Juni Fisher is no stranger to these parts. She has already given four sold-out concerts in Fiddlers Crossing and will ride into town March 3 for her fifth appearance. Fisher is the real deal – a Western singer who actually IS a cowgirl. Many of her songs are about women rodeo riders of bygone days, and she can be funny and poignant at the same time. Fisher grew up horse crazy on a San Joaquin Valley citrus farm, achieving 4-H and FFA honors, listening to the music of Marty Robbins, Joan Baez a...

Tehachapi Treasure Trove will be celebrating First Friday from 5-8 p.m. with an ode to Women's History Month. We'll honor women from the past as well as women in the present (who are making history right now) with photos and stories, plus of course our usual food, wine, good conversation and laughter, and music by Art Larsen on clarinet. History is written by the victors and, therefore, the entire story is never told. This is certainly true of women's contributions. History has largely ignored t...
Tehachapi lost one of its brightest stars last month. Martin Jay Sussell, whom everyone called Jay, passed away on Jan. 9 after a long illness. Having spent most of his working life in law enforcement (Los Angeles, Gardina, Beverly Hills) and the space tech industry, where he met wife Flo, he kept that energy up when the couple moved to Tehachapi to retire. With friend Geoffrey Braslow he founded VIPS (volunteers in police service) and he remained active in both Tehachapi and Bear Valley...

When I was a child, I learned in Sunday School that “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world – red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight…” I took that to heart and used it to form one of the basic foundations of my general understanding of life on this good Earth. When I was in kindergarten and first grade, I was in a one-room country school near Grand Island, Nebraska, where I picked up a love of learning (and the power of observation) by listeni...

C. Daniel Boling has been called "a thinking man's singer/songwriter." While most of his songs and stories are simply about relationships -- with his wife, children, parents and life itself – there is nothing that sounds simple about them. Boling, said one reviewer, is "one of those characters who can keep you glued to his telling about a whole day in his life without your getting bored at all." The award-winning singer/songwriter will be in concert at Fiddlers Crossing on Friday, Oct. 28, at 7...
