The LowerTown Arts & Music Festival opens tomorrow at 3 p.m. There are ongoing interactive activities both days for kids at a tent between 5th and 6th on Madison. A variety of food, beverages, entertainment and and artists comprise the experience. Among the artists is Nashville's Beth McDaniel, an Alamo, Tennessee native whose dad Harold McDaniel and sister Gaye McDaniel graduated from Murray State. But it was Beth's Aunt Eula who figures most in her artwork now, as Kate Lochte learns on Sounds Good.
What do you do with a lifetime full of stuff? Artist Beth McDaniel inherited a lot of memories from Aunt Eula, a woman who could play honky-tonk piano by ear, wore a spit curl on her forehead and loved costume jewelry. McDaniel shares her nostalgia of Aunt Eula through creative works of reclaimed jewelry, including old carpenters rulers, typewriter keys, handwritten letters, photographs, coins, lucky loving cream and more.
