Here is the latest Conway Scene Weekly for April 29, 2021. Have a great week!
I learned to play the guitar while watching my grandpa. Well, if you want to call it learning to play.
He got me one of those Mel Bay guitar books. It had chords and such. The rest was playing by ear and knowing how to do a little rhythm.
I gave up learning to play the guitar a long time ago, but I still have a fascination with those who can play. I have learned to love live music in the past few years.
One of those musicians is Lane Long. A product of folk roots in Mount View, Lane has carved out a place in the Conway area playing music.
Every time I see him, he is always smiling. I love listening to him or his band City Boyz.
This week, we bring you a music profile of Lane Long.

The 1991 film highlights the exhibition’s themes of ambiguity, contradiction, and simultaneity as central features of women’s embodied existence, more specifically, Black women’s existence.
