About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
Paulette Mahurin, the author, is a Nurse Practitioner who lives in Ojai, California with her husband Terry and their two dogs--- Max and Bella.

Incredible find!! As daughter of an epically talented classical pianist–and goer to recitals/concerts etc–I instantly felt at home. I couldn’t figure out why they had the bench intitally, other than too be an obstacle–.hehhe
A point mid-song sounded very “Angry Birds” !
My Dad would have loved this to pieces!! Musical pieces, of course. I like that piano was a Steinway, too. That was what we had!!
How wonderful your own experience must have been. Thank you so much for sharing that! Love it! π

Anything TED is worth the watch and this was excellent. I just love the sassy looks on the musicians’ faces when they are playing. Too cool!
Agree re: TED and this one! Very cool! π
Absolutely brilliant!!!
Thanks P – we are indeed a diverse group – and so much the better for it π
Yes we are! And, yes we are! π
I took piano lessons…….for too long. Always enjoyed playing duets. Chopsticks was about my speed. π¦
Thanks for sharing this fun video. Wonder how long they had to practice. π
I always wanted to learn piano, or I should say play piano. Never got beyond chopsticks myself. π¦ Even entertained taking lessons at this late stage in the game. π I wondered how long they had to practice also. What a group endeavor!
You should take some lessons. I have never regretted what musical background I have. Never did excel in any of it, but have gotten a lot of pleasure with what I do.
Pleasure is the gauge really. I feel encouraged by your reply. Thank you, I might just do it. π
That’s fun!
I thought so also, Clowie. π
Reblogged this on lost creek publishing and commented:
I have always found talent to be so overwhelming. I am like a deer caught in highlights!
Thanks so much for the reblog! π
There are always those who have more talent, those with less usually hide. Everyone has some talent, go for what you desire and don’t be one of the cowards who are afraid to try.
Love that. Like the Nike commercial (pardon the product placement, lol) “Just do it!” It’s so true, what we “think” is going to happen is never the case and boy do those thoughts hold us back. Thanks tons for the great comment. π
That video was great, Paulette! And how wonderful to see those normally serious classical artists so playful π It is INCREDIBLE how they each had their hand on the keyboard & it came off so beautifully.
Back at you. It’s a pleasure visiting here too.
Awww, yes, the fun of it all. They probably had a blast doing this. Wonder how long they rehearsed. Pretty amazing! π
Hi Paulette. So nice to hear from you . Thank you for liking my poem At The Local Pub. Take Care. The Foureyed Poet.
Hello and likewise it’s lovely to have you stop by for a visit here. Have a good day. π
