Oasis on TV!
Members of Oasis Writers' Guild made a guest appearance in June 2005 on the "Breakfast with Andy & Bernie Show," at Terrible Herbst Lakeside Casino in Pahrump, NV.
Robin Flinchum (center), President of the Oasis Writers' Guild, with Andy Alberti (left) and Co-Host, Bernie. Robin introduced the guild, its members, and its purpose as an organization of talented writer/members who publish their works in The Pseudonym, as well as individual writings of their own. She also spoke about her professional career in journalism as the official Death Valley reporter for the Pahrump Valley Times, as well as her historical and biographical writings about the women in Nevada.
George A. Strickland, aka Cornbread Amos, member of the Oasis Writers, with Andy. George is a country-cowboy poet/songwriter, and writes plays. He treated the audience to several entertaining poems about horses and mishaps with a country theme. He also discussed his current country cowboy radio play, which featured members of the guild performing all parts. The play can be heard on the "Half an Imagination Hour" hosted by Bill Lopez, courtesy of KPAH.com internet radio of Pahrump. "One Road in Texas" is a witty musical comedy which everyone is sure to enjoy.
Cornbread Amos is still talking and energetically promoting his guild play on CD. The audience is still laughing in disbelief. Andy is a New Yorker who has never heard nor experienced such raw country... uh... well... talent. Andy always thought "crackers" came from a box, until he heard Cornbread Amos who was out of the box and loose on deck!
Judy Brooks-Strickland, Secretary of Oasis Writers, with Andy. Judy recited a fun poem about making a "Styrofoam Pie," as if it could be done. Her humor added to the morning and though she will not readily admit it, she is married to Cornbread Amos. Judy invited anyone interested to present their poetry or creative writings at the public even hosted by the Pahrump Community Library on June 10, 2005. She hopes everyone in the valley will enjoy poetry and storytelling as much as the members of the Oasis Writers' Guild.
