Page 2A The Kings Mountain Herald Former Miss NC portrays hymn author Fanny Crosby, Friday Former Miss North Carolina Dana Stephenson will be appearing as “Fanny Crosby” in a “Blessed Assurance Fanny Crosby’s Eternal Vision” program at the Patrick Senior Center at noon on Friday, July 29. Stephenson was Miss North Carolina in 1994, but in about an hour with the help of lots of makeup she can transform herself into an 85-year-old blind woman. She has played the role of Fanny Crosby half a dozen times for Aversboro Road Baptist Church in Gar- ner, her home church. Almost every summer she joins the church’s drama team to go on a tour. This year she is leading the church’s drama team that will be performing an origi- nal play about the life and music of Crosby in the Kings Mountain area on July 28-31. “I really enjoy being Fanny,” Stephenson said. “She wrote some of our most beloved music. During the service we share — actually Fanny shares — the stories behind many of her songs. “She was a remarkable woman. She was blind from an early age; but achieved great- ness. At one time, she may have been the best-known woman in the world and her music is just as meaningful and moving as it was when she wrote it.” “Blessed Assurance: Fanny Crosby’ s Eter- nal Vision” is a musical drama about the music and life of the famed blind poet. Crosby is best known for writing the lyrics to hymns such as “Blessed Assurance,” “To God be the Glory” and “Jesus is Tenderly Calling.” “Fanny Crosby wrote more than 8,000 hymns,” said Doug Pedigo, the music minis- ter of Aversboro Road, which assembled the cast for the 70-minute performance. “Her songs are incredible and her life was amaz- ing. She was used by God in a mighty way.” Services are scheduled at Westwood Bap- tist Church at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 28; at the Patrick Senior Center at noon Friday, July 29; at Zoar Baptist Church at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 30; and at Flint Hill Baptist Church at 10:55 a.m. Sunday, July 31. There is no admission fee for any of the group’s performances.

Thompson’s music is deeply influenced by the Pigdmont-style, thumbpick- ing country blues and rag- time guitar-playing genre . epitomized by artists such as Rev. Gary Davis and Missis- sippi John Hurt, which were brought into the contempo- rary era by such artists as Dave Van Ronk and Jorma Kaukonen (Hot Tuna). Since 2001, Thompson has amassed a body of inno- vative original work, touch- ing on traditional themes and very nontraditional ones, some soul-wrenching and some more likely to elicit a smile — in short, a body of work in the best of the folk and country blues traditions. Her song styles range from blues to rags and ballads, with a discography in- cluding Add Some More (2003), Never Let Me Down (¢ 05) and Driving Live (‘05); / Right By Me (‘07); and the exciting double album, Good, Fast and Cheap (2010). She also offers gui- tar instructional DVDs via her “Marjorie Teaches” se- ries. Marjorie tours exten- sively for music perform- ance in the US and Europe, and teaches guitar work- shops with Jorma Kaukonen at his Fur Peace Ranch Music Camp’ in Pomeroy. Ohio.
