Exhibit: Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart’s American Musical Odyssey
Old State House Museum
300 W. Markham, Little Rock
Sparkle & Twang: Marty Stuart’s American Musical Odyssey, a showcase of country and popular music, makes a stop at the museum, on loan from the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville. It features hundreds of items from the personal collection of country music icon Marty Stuart, representing more than 40 years of milestones from country, rock, bluegrass, and southern gospel music.
The exhibit presents a unique perspective on American history, illustrating the impact of fashion and music on popular culture as revealed through performance costumes, accessories, hand-written lyrics, personal letters, instruments owned by country music legends, and unpublished photographs. It includes such outstanding pieces as Patsy Cline’s makeup case; an Elvis Presley sweater; Johnny Cash’s first “Man in Black” suit; Hank Williams, Sr.’s handwritten lyrics to “Your Cheatin’ Heart;” and an early Elton John custom cowboy-inspired sparkled suit complete with rhinestone-studded gun holsters.

A Circus Hitched to a Tornado:
Arkansas Politics in the 20th Century
9:00 a.m.
Old State House Museum
300 W. Markham, Little Rock
The title for this exhibit on Arkansas politics is drawn from a Saturday Evening Post reporter's description of Senator Hattie Caraway's whirlwind canvass with Huey Long in 1932. Noted political writers Jay Barth and Ernie Dumas serve as co-curators for this panorama of Arkansas politics in the last century from the perspective of that era's dozen most important elections.
The exhibit will run through 2008 and features many items from the Old State House Museum's extensive collection of Arkansas political memorabilia.
