CONWAY — Last weekend was yet another magical one at the Majestic Theatre and Café, as on Saturday night, fans were treated to a spirited show by tophat-led Slambovian Circus of Dreams of New York and on Sunday at the Majestic Café, fans were treated to hearing gifted local pianist Heather Pierson’s new ragtime CD, “Alone At Last.”
It's on weekends like the one that just passed that this music-loving scribe truly appreciates the array of talent we have here now. And those two shows were just a start.
