It's been a unique relationship and it will continue to grow. I'm pleased to be able to present Corey in concert here in Logan. Father and son will perform together in May in New York City, where they have been asked to perform at a guitar builder's convention. Utah State's guitar ensembles will be featured in concert April 18. The museum will be closed weekends and holidays until construction is completed.
Admission is free.
An opening reception for the exhibit and guest lecture are April 19, at 7 p.m. at the museum. Patrick Hogan's life was a model of courage, Ayres said in an exhibition essay. He suffered from a rare neuromuscular affliction that weakened the signals between the brain and muscles. At age 9 he was confined to a wheelchair, and in his late 20s he totally lost the use of his arms. Hogan's gallant life and spirit are justly celebrated, Ayres continued.
