Medema Library Opens at Mercer University
Jane Medema and library staff, Daniel Williams, review
Ken's library
On October 21, 2017, the total collection of Ken Medema music and memorabilia-including cassettes, videos, sheet music, news articles, choral music and more-opened as a permanent workable library at Mercer University, Macon Georgia. The archival effort involved over a year of planning, packing originals at Ken's office in Grandville, Michigan, keeping a copy for his office, then driving the collection by Medema supporter, Glen Warner, to Macon Georgia. Then the real tedious work began of sorting, cataloguing, putting everything in acid free folders or boxes and carefully storing them away.Other events that October weekend were two major performances, Ken's solo concert of favorite songs over the years aided by the Mercer Singers and the Mercer Youth Choir. The second event on Sunday afternoon was a performance of Ken's master work, The Weaver. He was joined by three local church choirs.
All in all the weekend held memories that will last a lifetime for those in attendance.
Ken Releases his Latest New Album,
Nothing Like the Rain.
Ken says, "We can't stop thinking about the weather. While those of us in California, where I live, are ecstatic for every rain shower after several years of drought, millions of other lives are devastated by tropical storms Harvey, Irma, Jose, Maria and others."
"There's nothing like the rain. It falls on the just and the unjust. . . just the same". "Life happens, bringing everyone burdens and blessings. How each of us chooses to live with those circumstances shows whether or not we know how to make art out of life. I love to sing about that!"
Titles include: Make Up A Song, Nothing Like the Rain, Just Suppose, Have a Blessed Day, The Gift of Wine, Dream Singers, Space Between, Ocean Beach, There's a Turning, The Real Thing, The Song is Alive
