阿肯色州普拉斯基县北小石城市约翰尼·卡什铜像10月27日凌晨立上音乐名人凉亭：30日举行揭幕仪式
阿肯色州北小石城市阿真塔广场的新建音乐名人凉亭10月27日凌晨迎来关键一步：一座8英尺高的约翰尼·卡什青铜雕像被吊车吊装到基座上。这座雕像是卡什在美国国会大厦代表阿肯色州的那座雕像的精确复制品，雕塑家凯文·克雷斯在现场与施工人员一起调整位置并固定。
凉亭定于10月30日星期五举行盛大开幕仪式，卡什雕像将作为西侧的标志，面向主街。克雷斯表示，与国会大厦里靠着柱子的原作相比，这处户外环境是他最喜欢的视角之一，月亮和日出同时出现在天空中，让这一刻格外特别。
随后，工作人员还搬出了克雷斯创作的六座青铜半身像，分别是格伦·坎贝尔、艾尔·格林、莱文·赫尔姆、路易斯·乔丹、弗洛伦斯·普莱斯和罗塞塔·萨普修女，每座半身像背面刻有音乐家的姓名、生卒年份和标有家乡的阿肯色州轮廓。
凉亭最终将安放21座雕塑，纪念20位音乐家和音乐产业高管艾尔·贝尔，他们的作品塑造了摇滚、蓝调、福音、乡村、灵魂乐和古典等多种风格的美国音乐。介绍牌也正在安装中。
Johnny Cash Bronze Statue Placed at North Little Rock Music Legends Pavilion in the Early Hours of October 27; Unveiling Set for October 30
A key step in North Little Rock's new music legends pavilion in Argenta Plaza came in the early hours of October 27, when an 8-foot bronze statue of Johnny Cash was lifted by crane onto its base. The statue is an exact replica of the Cash statue that represents Arkansas in the U.S. Capitol; sculptor Kevin Kresse was on site with the crew to position and secure it.
The pavilion is set for a grand opening ceremony on Friday, October 30, with the Cash statue serving as the marker on the west side, facing Main Street. Kresse said the outdoor setting is one of his favorite vantage points compared with the original leaning against a column in the Capitol, and that the moon and sunrise appearing in the sky at the same time made the moment especially memorable.
Crews then brought out six bronze busts by Kresse, honoring Glen Campbell, Al Green, Levon Helm, Louis Jordan, Florence Price and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Each bust bears the musician's name and life dates on the back, along with an outline of Arkansas marking their hometown.
The pavilion will ultimately hold 21 sculptures honoring 20 musicians and music industry executive Al Bell, whose work shaped rock, blues, gospel, country, soul, classical and other styles of American music. Interpretive plaques are also being installed.
