West completes writing Buffalo Jones musical
Garden City lawyer West finishes writing a 30-piece score for a Buffalo Jones musical using Finnup Piano Lab and Carolyn Klassen for piano guidance. Phoenix Productions and Starcher in Gulfport, along with Denver help, created rough master tracks after West’s basic melodies proved too jazzy. West plans to select a director and premiere the piece in Garden City this fall.
