An online blog dedicated to the Arts & Music scene of Marion, Ohio.

Thanks for stopping by! Here’s a little about us.

After graduating from Harding High School in 1969, and decrying further formal education, Deborah Jessie struck out on her own, living a series of foibles and follies. Later in life she would accept the need for further education and obtained her MSW in 1996. She now lives in the woods with her dog Desmond.
