"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer

"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher

Wednesday matinees originally happened because "pay day" was and is typically Thursdays. There was a time when there were so many dying shows that producers tried to get one more show "in" before an actor quit on Thursday because the producer couldn't pay or once again, that producer bounced the pay check. Hence, the producer coming up with the Wednesday matinee to get one more show out of the performer before the check bounced.

Finally the answer's said and done! Thank you PodiumPerson for sharing! Though I'm quite surprised since I've been waiting for Phantom2 to respond to this...what happened Phantom2? Bailed out last minute, huh?
