The Webb, Stuckey and Lindsey,

Attorneys at Law, Summer Concert Series continues at the Frederick Brown

Jr. Ampitheater this weekend with music legend Judy Collins.

Judy Collins has been involved

with music since the age of 10. She has a background in classical piano

and has studied with Antonia Brico, a famous orchestral conductor who

conducted major symphony orchestras in the United States and Europe. Brico

has been described as Collins' mentor.

Collins has recorded 29 albums

in her long and illustrious career, including "Who Knows Where The

Time Goes," featuring the songs "Someday Soon," "My

Father," and of course the song, "Who Knows Where The Time Goes."

While her lyrics can be poignant

and poetic, it is her covers of other artists' work that brought her the

most acclaim. In 1967, Collins earned a Grammy nomination for her version

of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now." The song was featured on

Collins' album "Wildflowers" and she was nominated for both

the single and the album.

She also has recorded a beautiful

version of "Amazing Grace," as well as "Send in the Clowns,"

and the Beatles tune "In My Life." Her friend, poet-songwriter

Richard Farina describes her voice this way: "If amethysts could

sing, they would sound like Judy Collins."

She will perform Friday and

Saturday at 8 p.m. There will be no opening act. Tickets are available

for both shows, but there is limited availability for the Friday evening

performance. Tickets are $21 and there is a $3 handling fee for all orders.

Use a Visa or a Mastercard by phoning 770-631-0630.
