CIMA: Nobody laughed when he would begin to play 2012-01-08 - CIMA, 203 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. But this wasn't his instrument. Galen Campbell is widely known throughout Adair County now for his leadership in veterans affairs, and, now, as the main construction and logistics man for TMCC. But unless you are from the Chicago area, you may not remember that the retired Windy City policeman was a fine musician. But the white Grand Piano, in the ensembles class room at the new location for CIMA - Columbia Institute of Music and Art - is not his instrument. He's merely steadying it before he and Elby Burton position on the floor. He is a guitarist, and once had his own Chicagoland Band, Galen Campbell and the Carrot-Tops. CIMA is set to open at 10amCT, Monday, January 9, 2012, according to David Isaacs. A note: "They laughed" for younger folks, is from one of the most famous newspaper ads of all times, John Caples series of highly successful long-copy newspaper print ads which all started, "They Laughed when I sat down at the piano, but when I began to play . . . " for the U.S. School of Music of New York City. To see an example, click to Example at Powerwriting.com Permalink | Comments?
