2019 President’s Reception
Location/Time/Date: JW Marriott- Austin (Texas) on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, 7:00 – 10:00 PM.
This year’s President’s Reception will honor Dr.C. Blake Simpson during the ALA 140th Annual Meeting. A musical tribute will be performed by the The Willy Kickit Band of which Dr. Simpson was an original member before he pursued his current career in our field. This group has received high recognition as one of the Classical Rock Bands of the 1980’s when they formed to with personnel and by design that the music would be rock and roll driven. The name itself took a play on words with the phrase,”will he kick it” and shortened it to “Willy Kick It” to distinguish it from Willie Nelson.
