Ascension Lutheran Church will be hosting daily columnist/humorist, Jonathan Richard Cring, and master musician, Janet Clazzy, at 7 p.m. Wednesday. It’s a time of music and monologue, including readings from Cring’s books and comedic essays with original musical tunes played by Clazzy on the oboe and WX-5 wind machine. Offerings accepted. Refreshments to follow. Open to the public.

Cring is the author of 11 volumes, including “I’m…the legend of the son of man,” “20 Other Reasons to Kiss a Frog,” “Jesonian,” and “Living a Legendary Life,” recipient of the Best Screenplay Award at the Top Ten Films in America, and has a daily column at www.jonathots.com.

“Less than an hour is all we have to bring you the music, humor, dialogue and some fresh insights about inserting creativity into our practical lives,” Cring said. “The program is a delicate and delicious blending of spirit and humor producing the wonderful byproduct of good cheer.”

Clazzy has played oboe in orchestras for 30 years from coast to cost, including San Jose, Calif., Chicago, and Houston. “I have this fabulous instrument called the WZ-5 wind machine which gave me 250 sounds,” she said. “When you add some of the beautiful music and inspiring melodies, it just lends itself to an occasion to enrich the heart and exalt the spirit.” She was also the first female conductor in the state of Tennessee.
