SUMMARY:Operation Husky\, the Invasion of Sicily
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit about Operation Husky\, the invasion of Sicily.  This exhibit will be on display from Tuesday\, January 6\, 2026 until Saturday\, January 31\, 2026.  The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. There is no charge for admission\, but donations are gladly accepted. \n  \nOperation Husky was the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943\, devised in North Africa as the Allies drove German and Italian forces from the continent and prepared to advance into Italy. The campaign relied on a series of top-secret deceptions—fake units\, fabricated communications\, and the famed British Intelligence ploy known as Operation Mincemeat\, which persuaded Germany that Sicily was not the next target. It set in motion one of the largest combined operations of World War II\, involving nearly half a million Allied personnel. \n  \nHighlights of this exhibit include a set of top-secret plans for the JOSS segment (3rd Infantry Division) amphibious landings near Licata\, Sicily\, along with details for CENT (Forty-fifth Division near Scoglitti\, Sicily) and DIME (1st  Division near Gela\, Sicily)\, the other two American landing forces. This copy of the top-secret plans was printed just 20 days before the start of Operation Husky\, which involved amphibious landing of infantry and armor as well as parachute operations by the 82nd Airborne. It is also a secret as to why the museum holds this set of plans. \n  \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact the museum at (850) 697-8575\,  museum@campgordonjohnston.com and http://www.campgordonjohnston.com.  Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:Ben Rosenblum
DESCRIPTION:Pianist\, accordionist and composer Ben Rosenblum has traversed a truly unique musical path\, one that has seen him perform alongside world-class musicians across more than twenty music genres and twenty-five countries\, lead bands at prestigious venues across the world\, all while maintaining a signature\, melodic musical voice. Rosenblum’s journey has taken him on tours with Grammy-winning pop artist Rickie Lee Jones\, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Catherine Russell and Juno-winning contemporary Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia. He’s played Brazilian choro with Ephrat Asherie Dance and Brazilian forró with The Late Night Show’s Nêgah Santos and famed forró band Forró in the Dark. His roots in jazz have led to an over ten-year relationship with Grammy-winning bassist Curtis Lundy\, performing at festivals alongside jazz luminaries Bobby Watson\, Sean Jones and Warren Wolf. He has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on accordion\, and as a guest soloist on piano at Carnegie Hall’s Stern-Perelman Auditorium with Maestro Reona Ito’s New York Harmonic Band. Throughout it all\, Rosenblum has always maintained the same priority – to tell a compelling story with his music\, reaching the hearts of his audience and connecting on an emotional\, intellectual and spiritual level. \n \n \nRosenblum brings this wealth and diversity of experiences to his projects as a leader\, overseeing a full tour schedule as a solo artist\, with his trio and most recently\, with his six-piece ensemble\, the Nebula Project. Since his first album as a leader\, Instead (4 stars\, Downbeat Magazine)\, he has since released three follow-up records to critical acclaim\, including favorable reviews in almost every major jazz publication (Downbeat\, All About Jazz\, Jazziz\, JazzTimes\, JazzEd\, NYC Jazz Record\, JazzLife Japan and many more). Across multiple tours in Japan\, Europe\, Canada and the United States\, Rosenblum has brought his bands to perform at some of the world’s most respected music venues\, including Ravinia\, Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, the Library of Congress\, AngraJazz (Terceira Island)\, Bird’s Eye (Basel) and Yokohama’s Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall. At any given show\, Rosenblum might draw on influences from ten or more countries\, with interests going beyond jazz to include various music traditions from South America\, Eastern Europe\, Ireland\, India\, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
