James Jones remembers the first-ever summer summer concert of the Newton Mid-Kansas Symphony Orchestra at the time it was part of a festival, called the Harvey Festival. I got the idea from the railroad restaurant and the name of the county and the Judy Garland Movie [The Harvey Girls, 1946], Jones said.
It was started by Jones and Don Kerhberg, former music professor at Bethel College as something fun to do in the summer. There was also a need for some summer music, it worked out very well, Jones said. . I have had a lot of fun. I have played them all on clarinet. I have played all of them, and I got to play what I wanted.
