Hank's Photo Gallery
On Wednesday, April 29th, 2009, Hank Johnson was a guest at a career day presentation at Martin Van Buren High School. Joy Kurtz, shown in photo with Hank Johnson (taken in the school library), invited Hank to discuss the business of music, career as a musician, and allied areas for students to explore and continue their education. It is noted that this school was run professionally, and students were very responsive. There was a true sense and atmosphere of learning as students were serious about career day and the opportunities out there, and the fact that this event provides for the suggestion of possible goals and direction for students. Hank demonstrated the blues and improvisation skills and imagination necessary for a jazz pianist. Other allied fields of study were also mentioned to spark interest, direction, and suggestions about career development.
