dear readers,

s we enter the transitional month of September, with the attendant autumnal shift and back-to-school dramatics, I’m feeling an undercurrent of cautious optimism, despite the gloomy economic events and forecasts as of late. Most unusual.

I’m not really sure how I came by this optimism stuff. I mean, how could I, with so many friends out of a job? Thanks to the priorities of the larger corporations, who prefer satisfying shareholders with larger profits rather than re-investing in America’s work force, national unemployment is still in the 10% range. It’s stunning how callous politicians and media are toward the unemployed lately, calling them lazy and parasitical; showing zero empathy or even basic Christianity, no “there, but for the grace of God, go I” at all. It’s cut ‘em off, make ‘em get whatever minimum wage jobs are available, take away their food stamps, free ride is over, pal. It’s for your own good, ya bum, this government money robs your initiative, y’know.

I have personally never known somebody who enjoyed unemployment, or used it as some kind of scam to fleece the government, and thus the taxpayer. Chances are good you haven’t either. Yet, you’d think these “deadbeats” populated entire states, the way the senators and AM jocks squawk. “We just can’t afford it,” is the prevailing meme, followed by “they don’t deserve it.”

Oh yeah? Well, here’s some things we REALLY can’t afford, but manage to: how about two senseless, expensive wars that will never ever be won in any conventional sense, that will only bleed the U.S.? Or continuing the Bush tax cuts, when restructuring those taxes back to Clintonian levels, (remember the budget surplus then?) could help national fiscal stability. Or allowing energy corporations to exploit and ruin land and water (and labor for that matter) indiscriminately for their own profit. I could go on, but really, helping the unemployed is totally fiscally doable, and it would be morally wrong not to, whether someone thinks they “deserve it” or not.

But I didn’t come here to rant. No, I was winding back to the inexplicable optimism thing. And I think I know why I feel it: it’s the people here. I’ve come to the conclusion that the folks of the Hudson Valley are really and truly there for each other, in a whole lot of ways.

How do I know this? Well, some of you might know that in my parallel life alongside Roll I’m a professional musician, playing with a host of different regional groups. This year in particular, one or more of those groups have been called upon to donate music and time to worthy causes frequently, often twice a month. And I can tell you that every time, many good people show up, funds are raised for needy organizations and causes. People have been quite generous, even though some of the folks attending were themselves not having the easiest time of it.

Though some benefits were for causes outside of the region (Haiti, The Gulf), most were for individual causes and the local service providers like Family of Woodstock and Queen’s Galley, which are staffed by incredibly giving people who really don’t care why you’re sick, hungry, and needing some assistance. They just give because it’s the right thing to do, and help make sure those who really need the help—be it food, shelter, job training, medical, what-have-you—can get it.

These folks and this valley are the source of my precious optimism, which will no doubt be sorely tested by the screaming media in the run-up to the midterm elections. Think I’ll unplug the entire month of October. Ah, but the sun is bouncing off Bonticou today, our recent CSA vegetable haul was off the hook, with a crimson bounty of (un-blighted this year—yay!) tomatoes. There’s music wafting up from Rosendale—someone’s out at the park jamming. Really love it here, hope you do too.

See you out and about! Chances are good it will be at a benefit somewhere. I’m the tall guy on the keyboards. With tomato stains on his shirt.

Cheers, Ross Rice, editor

B • e • y •o •n •d the grain

By Abby Luby

They’re known as furniture artists and makers. Their original, one-of-a-kind pieces are born of an innate sense of design, fueled by artistic expression. What we get is functional sculpture that, paradoxically, is unleashed creativity within intrinsic constraints of form.

Finding a place to show this sculptural furniture can be tricky. Art galleries are uncomfortable with furniture as art and play it safe by showing painting and sculpture. Craft stores focus on smaller, quick sale items and commercial showrooms push cookie cutter furniture straight off the assembly line.

T hree years ago, High Falls furniture artist Josh Finn found a perfect space to show his work at the High Meadow School in Stone Ridge. He invited a few Hudson Valley makers to join him, including Michael

Puryear, Rob Hare, and Anissa Kapsales, who, in turn, invited other artists to show their work. Today, the twelve member group is formally known as the Hudson Valley Furniture Makers, now gearing up for their third annual show in October.

Finn says local furniture makers are a unique breed whose solitary studio work motivates them to seek comraderie. “We’re all essentially a one-person business. Getting to know other makers, going to their shops and seeing their set up is a great thing for all of us. There’s a lot of good will and sharing of ideas.”

The hottest topic in the group is marketing. How do you sell a $5000 coffee table to someone who doesn’t understand how the table is designed or constructed? Someone who could easily buy a mass produced table for a fraction of the cost? Kapsales, the sole woman in Hudson Valley Furniture Makers, says one-of-a-kind furniture demands a serious time commitment. “Some people think it takes just days to put something together but it could take two to three months, depending on the complexity of the piece. It has to be done in the right sequence.”

Because wood is the predominant material, trees are examined and multi-linear textures of the grain are explored along with dramatic imperfections, natural cracks and intense contrast of sap lines. Some pieces combine wood with glass, concrete, mirrors, metal, plastics

and found objects. Ultimately, it’s the material that informs the piece and inspires design. Before the touch of a tool, drawings are rendered and tweaked for shape and balance. Finally materials are cut, molded, sanded, ebonized and joined. The long process makes for a hard sell to a society which craves instant gratification.

“We’re always battling the concept of ready made,” says Puryear, who designs furniture and teaches woodworking at SUNY Purchase. “People have a problem with the idea of waiting for a piece which, in some ways, harkens back to the traditional way furniture was acquired before the industrial revolution.”

F u r n i t u r e m a k e r s a r e particularly allergic to cold, mass produced furniture, prepackaged

and sold at big box stores—the ubiquitous pieces are the quick fix to furnishing homes on the fly. It doesn’t matter whose hands made it, if any.

“When we go into a store and buy something we lose the connection to the maker,” s a y s A n d r e w H u n t e r , who creates furniture in his Gardiner studio using traditional Japanese tools.

Ed Felton’s mission is to “figure out what the client wants.” He designed a coffee table for clients who had a specific table in mind. “I’m not interested in making a stock design that already exists, but I understood what my clients responded to and offered something they’d never seen, something they liked more than what they originally wanted.”

Teasing out a client’s preference means getting to know how they live, what they like—facts that inform the building process.

“They get a piece that fits them exactly, a piece they’ll hold on to for life,” explains Kieran Kinsella, who creates sculptural wood stools and side tables. “We want to make solid, heirloom pieces with good joinery.”

Durability and integrity are rooted mantras of Hudson Valley Furniture Makers members, whose work is made to last at least several generations—a practice that counters our disposable-based culture where the highways from production line to the garbage dump are too well traveled.

“People who own factory outlet furniture tell me it’s falling apart,” says Nicolas Simile, a furniture maker in Rosendale. “My pieces weigh three times more, don’t move and last forever.”

Besides durability, there’s something special about furniture imbued with energy from the artist’s hands, then passed to the hands of the user. This unique presence invites both visual and physical interaction.

“The owner creates a history with the piece, a history that’s more valuable than the original use of the piece,” offers Rob Hare who creates

furniture with wood and metal. “If I build a dining table, people live with it, eat on it. There are arguments, fabulous meals, and it gains an emotional value—it’s the central thing where all this occurred, a touchstone. It’s what’s wonderful about furniture.”

As sculpture, the furniture weaves in the maker’s personal aesthetic. “I take standard forms and conventions, add twists and tweaks to nudge the piece into the realm of something different, something personal,” says Ezra Waltermaurer of Kingston. “I lean more toward the conceptual and work in the realm between functional piece and art object.”

Members bring their different backgrounds and experiences that highlight the group’s diverse profile. Johnny Poux’s background is production furniture, interior design and sculpture. “Some of the first pieces of furniture I made were for myself,” he recalls. “The process is very satisfying.”

John Cox, who has designed and built furniture with his wife Nico Accardi for over 20 years, says being part of the Hudson Valley Furniture Makers is a networking plus.

“You get tips, learn who people are working for. There’s a lot of back and forth. You also see a lot of tool envy.”

At the October show, furniture will not be roped off but accessible to touch, sit at and in, open and close. Nor will the work be standing alone. On hand will be the furniture artists themselves, ready to divulge the intriguing story of their pieces.

“Anytime you can put a face with the work, it’s a great thing,” says Jeff Johnson, a furniture maker in Poughkeepsie who teaches wood design at SUNY New Paltz. “The way we approach making one of kind pieces is with a sculptor’s sensibility.”

The Hudson Valley Furniture Makers 2010 Exhibition & Sale will be at High Meadow School, Rte. 209, Stone Ridge, October 8 through 11. Sa/Su 10 AM-6 PM, Mo 10 AM-4 PM. Opening reception Fr 10/8 6-9 PM. See www.hvfurnituremakers.com for more information.

Not just independent, but FIERCELY independent: it is indeed a suitable motto for the Woodstock Film Festival, which has become a cinema festival favorite over the years, providing a mellow small- town contrast to the more jangly hustle vibe of say, Sundance or Toronto. Now in its 11th year, the WFF celebrates films and filmmakers for four days, with panels, award ceremonies, musical performances, and of course, multiple screenings in theatres spread out around the immediate area and easily accessed.

WFF and the Hudson Valley Film Commission (HVFC) have been busy since last year’s successful season. The power of cinema has been in full effect; screenings of The Dry Land—with stars America Ferrera and Melissa Leo in attendance at the Rosendale Theatre—and Josh Fox’s hydrofracking documentary Gasland, at Onteora High School, raised consciousness about pressing issues of war and water, while drawing sellout audiences to meet the filmmakers. Public discussion and debate following the screenings has since resulted in real interest and activism. Meanwhile, the region has been quite a hot spot for filming lately, with several in production including Vera Farmiga’s Higher Ground, and Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding, starring a distinctly hippie-fied Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener, directed by the well-seasoned Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy, Tender Mercies).

Beresford (see Roll feature) will also be on hand to receive the WFF Maverick Award during the Gala Award Ceremony at BackStage Productions in Kingston on October 2, along with film distribution “guru” and Trailblazer Award winner Bob Berney, and Excellence in Acting Award winner Keanu Reeves.

I t’s hard to believe that WFF and HVFC have managed to do so much without a functional facility for a home base,

just small offices around town and rented spaces. With their Capital Campaign this year, they’re making a push to secure property on Rock City Road (Woodstock) to build a Film Center, somewhere that can accommodate office and production space, as well occasional screenings. It’s long overdue; says WFF Executive Director M e i r a B l a u s t e i n , “ We spend an enormous amount of time, energy, and a ton of money scrambling to find and renovate space each year to

fulfill our needs, so the new Film Center offers us the opportunity to consolidate and grow to continue providing extraordinary programming and economic benefit to the region.” (See the festival website for more about making a meaningful donation to this worthy cause.)

Confirmed participants this year include (but are not limited to) Adrian Grenier, Annie Sundberg, Barbara Kopple, Bill Plympton, Bingham Ray, Bob Berney, Bruce Beresford, Doreen Ringer Ross, Ed Koch, Edie Falco, Edward Burns, Fisher Stevens, Gary Springer, Heidi Ewing, Joe Berlinger, John Anderson, John Murphy, Joslyn Barnes, Katherine Carpenter, Keanu Reeves, Larry Fessenden, Lemore Syvan, Lydia Dean Pilcher, Mari-Jo Winkler, Martine Rothblatt, Michael Tucker, Signe Baumane, Ray Kurzweil, Richard Abramowitz, Ron Mann, Ted Hope, Tess Harper, Thelma Adams, Vanessa Hope, Vera Farmiga, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Danny Glover. A full schedule of screenings, panels, and events are unavailable as of this print deadline. Visit www.woodstockfilmfestival.com after September 1 for event times and locations.

2010 WOODSTOCK FILM FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

3 BACKYARDS | Written and directed by eric Mendelsohn

starring edie Falco, eMbeth davidtz, elias Koteas

3 Backyards tells the story of three residents of the same suburban town over the course of one seemingly perfect autumn day. Seen through

a prism of sunlight and glittering leaves a businessman (Koteas) with marital troubles gets “lost” on a

business trip without ever leaving town. A little girl (Rachel Resheff) steals her

mother’s jewelry in the morning and finds herself entangled in a web of

frightening, adult implications by late afternoon. A well-meaning

housewife (Falco) offers her celebrity neighbor (Davidtz) a lift, and the trip detours into unsettling territory. By day's end, the familiar geography of the suburban landscape has dissolved into a dreamscape where identities are created, l o s t , a n d u l t i m a t e l y rec la imed. . Fa lco wi l l

NICE GUY JOHNNY | Written and directed by edWard bUrns

starring edWard bUrns, Matt bUsh, Kerry bishe

Actor/director Edward Burns brings to this year’s festival his newly minted project Nice Guy Johnny, a modern relationship “dramady.” Burns directed, produced, wrote and acted in this story about Johnny Rizzo (Bush) who, faced with a promise made to his fiancée, has only until he’s 25-years-old to make it as a local sports talk radio host. If unsuccessful he must trade his current dream job for something that’ll pay bigger bucks. Now he’s flying to New York to interview for some snoozeville job that his well-to-do father-in-law-to-be set up, but after meeting the lovely Brooke (Bishe) who challenges him to rethink his decision, will Johnny keep his word? Burns wraps a summery tone around Johnny’s real crisis: follow through with your promises, or follow your heart. Burns will be in attendance, see website for details.

Friday, october 1: Fright Fest at the eMerson resort & sPa | The 2010 Woodstock Film Festival and The Emerson Resort & Spa have partnered to present a spectacular night of independent film Friday, October 1. The sur-reel evening features the simultaneous screenings of two highly anticipated

indie horror films. First, the slasher/musical Don’t Go in the Woods—the directorial debut of actor Vincent D’Onofrio (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Full Metal Jacket, Men In Black), with musical score by Academy-Award winning producer Sam Bisbee—will be shown, appropriately so, in the Emerson’s outdoor Pavilion conveniently located next to the woods. Then, the Emerson Great Room will host the macabre cinema of Bitter Feast, directed by Joe Maggio (Paper Covers Rock, Milk and Honey, Virgil Bliss) and produced by indie horror genius (and long-time Boiceville resident) Larry Fessenden. Q&A’s with D’Onofrio and Maggio will follow screenings. Both shows start at 8 PM.

WFF Political PrograMMingMaintaining their “fiercely independent” streak, the WFF promotes modern documentaries that expose the real issues of our times. Here are three we recommend.

CAMP VICTORY, AFGHANISTAN | directed by carol dysinger, neW yorK PreMiere

One of the central films of the WFF 2010 political line-up, Camp Victory, Afghanistan, features almost 300 hours of footage shot over the course

of five years, telling the story of the officers of the new Afghan National Army (ANA), and the U.S. National Guardsmen sent to mentor them. Shot from 2005 to 2008, it is the first film to examine the on-the-ground training of the Afghan military which is the critical step towards bringing stability to Afghanistan, and which is the linchpin of U.S. exit strategy. At its heart, however, Camp Victory, Afghanistan is about an unlikely but profound friendship between

two men—Afghani General Fazil Ahmad Sayar and American Colonel Michael Shute—from opposite sides of the world working towards a common goal: creating a professional Afghan army from a group of unmotivated and illiterate enlistees. www.campvictoryafghanistanthemovie.com.

GERRYMANDERING | directed by JeFF reichert

Ed Koch, former Mayor of New York City, will be in attendance to talk about Gerrymandering, an incisive documentary exposing a national political issue as old as America itself, and still at the heart of American politics. Right now, across the country, our two major

political parties are gearing up for a once-a-decade war—the redrawing of election district lines—which helps determine who will control Congress for the next ten years, and possibly more. Democrats and Republicans collude to keep these skirmishes private so that they can maintain total control over the ultimate political weapon: the ability to directly determine the outcome of elections. Why bother stuffing ballots when they can just draw districts? For the first time, Gerrymandering exposes the most effective form of manipulating elections short of outright fraud. After the 2010 Census is finished, will you know where your district went? www.gerrymanderingmovie.com.

MY LIFE WITH CARLOS | a FilM by gerMan berger-hertz

Taking a look into a political tragedy of the past through a personal lens, d i r e c t o r G e r m a n B e r g e r - H e r t z explores the repercussions of an act of political violence that tore his family apart. The murder of his father under orders from Augusto Pinochet—one of many committed in Chile under the dictatorship of Pinochet—continues to reverberate across decades and through generations. My Life with Carlos is both profoundly personal and at the same time strikingly universal. Berger-Hertz shares his journey of personal anguish, and perhaps forgiveness, in a way that brings an important but painful history to light. Not satisfied with living in anger and hatred for past injustices, My Life with Carlos presents a new and hopeful generation, unafraid to confront the tragedies of the past with the objective that they never be repeated. www.mividaconcarlos.com.

PHIL OCHS: THERE BUT FOR FORTUNE | directed by Ken boWser, World PreMiere

From civil rights to the anti-war movement to the scandals of Watergate, protest singer Phil Ochs wrote songs that engaged his audiences emotionally in the issues of the 1960s and 70s. With the voices of his family and many of the well-known musicians who considered themselves fans of Phil Ochs, filmmaker Ken Bowser creates a vivid and compelling portrait of a folk icon of the 60s whose life was cut tragically short.

My Life With carLos


The buzz began in June, when flyers appeared at various posts around Woodstock and Rosendale, recruiting extras for a film shoot. Many locals—Julie Novak, Eva Tenuto, Carla Rozman, Patty Curry, to name a few—jumped at the opportunity. Others of us merely gawked as “downtown” Rosendale was transformed into a movie set. If you attended the Rosendale Street Festival or hung around the town’s Main Street in late July, chances are you caught glimpses of the shoot in progress. This was no student film or B-movie. No, we’re talking Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chace Crawford and Elizabeth Olson—all starring in Peace, Love and Misunderstanding, the latest film to be shot by a director as celebrated as its stars. That would be Aussie auteur Bruce Beresford, best known for modern classics like Tender Mercies and Driving Miss Daisy.

B eresford shot the film in Woodstock and Rosendale in a head-spinning 28 days. But he won’t be jetting back to his native Sydney any time soon.

Post-production at producer Claude Dal Farra’s Vinci Farms editing facility in Kerhonkson will keep the 70-year-old director in the area for a while longer.

That works out well, considering that Beresford is going to be honored during the 11th Woodstock Film Festival. On Saturday October 2, Beresford—a two-time Academy Award nominee for his writing of the screenplay for Breaker Morant, and his direction of Tender Mercies—will receive the 2010 Honorary Maverick Award during a gala ceremony at BackStage Productions in Kingston.

According to Meira Blaustein, the festival’s co-founder and executive director, Beresford is receiving the honor because, “Throughout his extensive body of work, Beresford has exhibited unique talent, drawing award-winning performances from his actors while subtly creating stories filled with humanity, nuances and discontent. His ability to masterfully bring heart, soul, and social critique to all of his work distinguishes him as a true maverick.”

Beresford, who has made 27 films in about forty years, spoke with me by phone from the home he’s renting in Accord about the movie, the award, and the area he’s been happy to call home for the past few months.

How does it feel to be receiving this award from the Woodstock Film Festival?

I guess I’m surprised. I’m sort of fascinated. And honored!

How did you come to film Peace, Love and Misunderstanding here?

This is a totally local film. The producer, Claude Dal Farra, is here. We’re doing post-production here, at his facility. The screenwriters, Christina Mengert and Joseph Muszynski, live in Kerhonkson. She was

teaching at Vassar and quit to write screenplays. They set the story in the Woodstock area.

What is it about?

It’s about a woman, ( Catherine Keener), who is a New York lawyer. When her marriage breaks up, she decides to go visit her mother in Woodstock.

They haven’t seen each other in many years, because they don’t get on very well, and her mother is still living

in the past, in the hippie era. When she gets up to her mother’s house, she is still irritated by her, but her

teenage kids get on with her much better. Then she meets a local guy who is a furniture maker whom she’s attracted to, and finds an excuse to stay longer, really just so she can see this guy. But then she finds out that the guy was her mother’s lover, which she’s not very happy about. Meanwhile, her daughter, who is about 18, meets a young man who is a butcher, and her son meets a young girl, and they’re having their first teenage love. So you have those three romances going on. The mother also has a boyfriend who’s in the

house, a super-hippie, and Catherine Keener’s character isn’t too happy with him.

This all happens over one weekend?

No, it all happens over about three weeks. She goes back to Manhattan after she finds out that the chap she met was her mother’s lover.

Oh…what happens then?

I’m not going to tell you! (Laughs.)

How did you come across this particular screenplay?

I’d come over from Australia to meet on another film, and that one got delayed. My agent said, “Before you go back home, there’s another screenplay I’d love for you to give a quick read.” And it was really quite good! At first they said they didn’t want to do it straight away, then called back and said, no, let’s do it immediately. So then I came to New York and here we are.

What makes Peace, Love and Misunderstanding a Bruce Beresford film?

I don’t know. I suppose because it’s a character-driven movie. And there’s a lot of wit. It’s really about three generations of women and their various love affairs. It’s a grandmother, mother and daughter. It’s very nicely written, with a lot of heart.

I’ve heard that you shot this in only 28 days. How has that been?

bruCe beresford & Jane fonda, PhoTo by aLan Carey


continued from pg 15...roll the music

The word kwela is a derivation of khwela, a Zulu and Xhosa word meaning “come on,” a term used by South African musicians to motivate fellow players and audiences during a performance. Kwela is also the name for the South Africa’s deliriously upbeat folk music—which just might be the happiest-sounding music on the planet. Filled with chirping pennywhistles, unison singing, and a distinctively buoyant shuffling rhythm, kwela evolved during the 1940s and ’50s out of the earlier, jazz-influenced urban “township” style known as marabi. And, believe it or not there’s a group making this very same infectious and supremely happy sound right here in the Hudson Valley: Grenadilla, a multi-voiced family music ensemble led by singer and music teacher Debbie Lan.

“Where I grew up kwela is the music of the streets, so it was always around,” says Lan, who was born and raised in Cape Town. “It’s fun music that anyone can play, no matter what their age or ability might be. So it’s very much a family-friendly music.”

L an founded Grenadilla (South African for passion fruit) in January of last year and the group has quickly become one of the brightest new names on the “kindie” music scene. Last spring the band released

its self-titled debut album, which recently hit number 13 on Sirius XM satellite radio’s “Kids Place Live” chart. Among the disc’s 15 euphoric singalong tracks are such sunny, positive-messaged songs as “Peace Will Come,” “Be Yourself,” and “Arabella Angelique,” not to mention an uplifting version of the Zulu traditional “Babethandeza”

KWELA is for kids (and grownups, too!)

Grenadilla

By Peter Aaron

That’s right. That’s not how I like to work, but it’s an independent film, and the budget is pretty low. But I’m used to working like this, with low budgets. We did Driving Miss Daisy in 30 days. If you’re making independent films without big studio backing, you shoot them very quickly.

How many movies do you shoot in a year?

Oh, not even one. From the time you read the screenplay and start raising money, to when you’re finished with the editing and everything, it takes 15 to 18 months. I also do operas. After this, I’m going back to Australia to direct an opera.

It seems you used a lot of locals in the film.

The locals are all great! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Different people let us borrow this and that. We brought up the major cast from New York and LA, but we’ve put some local people in small roles, too. A local actor, Terry McKenna, plays Jane Fonda’s boyfriend. There’s a film festival in the movie, and local actor Michael Burke is in that role. Part of the story is that Jane Fonda’s character is a painter. And Judy Zeichner has come along and given Jane lessons in painting. In fact, she’s donated paintings for us to use, and also created some specifically for what we were shooting. She’s been great. Brinton Baker, who is a potter in Accord, has done the same thing. The extras were all locals. We shot a demonstration scene in Woodstock, and we got this terrific local drumming group led by Fre Atlast . Actually, Fre has been in a couple of scenes. She’s great.

You also shot some of the movie in Rosendale.

We shot at the Rosendale Street Festival. It was perfect for us because there was a music festival written in the script, and to set one up just for the movie would cost far more than the budget we had. I said, “Are there any music festivals already going on?” And there was the one in Rosendale. We also shot at the Rosendale Café. It’s one of the final scenes in the film. The guy who runs it, Mark Morganstern, was tremendously helpful. Everyone here was helpful. I love Rosendale!

Had you been to visit this area before this movie?

I had been to New York City before, but never to this area, and now I love it. It’s gorgeous here. I’ve been to that little movie theater in Rosendale, and it’s great. The ones in Woodstock and Rhinebeck, too (Upstate Films). I have a country house in a town outside of Sydney, and they have one of those little old movie theaters, too. I’m enjoying staying in Accord. It’s perfect because I’m central to everything—Woodstock, Rosendale, Kerhonkson—so I never have to drive very far. I’ve been enjoying this area a lot. I’ve been kayaking on the river. We went to the FDR house. And we went to the Opera at Tanglewood. The restaurants are great, too. My favorite is the Inn at Stone Ridge. My wife and I have been there three or four times. I also love the Mexican restaurant, Gaby’s Cafe in Ellenville. They make the guacamole right at the table.

Will you go to see some of the movies in the Woodstock Film Festival?

Oh, yes. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve got. Sure I will.…if I can get away from the editing, that is.

Bruce Beresford will receive the Maverick Award at the Woodstock Film Festival Award Ceremony, Saturday October 2 at BackStage Productions, 323 Wall St., Kingston, 7:30 PM. Please see www.woodstockfilmfestival.com for ticket information.


(“Grandmother”). The group also contributed a cut to the recent compilation Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti (Spare the Rock Records), a benefit album for Haitian earthquake victims that also stars Pete Seeger, Dan Zanes, They Might Be Giants, and many other heavy family music friends.

For live appearances the group tailors its lineup to the suit the occasion and the availability of its members, but for the sessions for Grenadilla (Independent) the ranks include Lan on lead vocal, piano, and pennywhistle; singers Annmarie Callan, Brittany Sacash, and Natasha Williams; singers/pennywhistlers Leah Glennon and Jodi Palinkas; guitarist and bassist Ken McGloin, who also heads Poughkeepsie Day School’s adjunct music department; and journeyman drummer Dean Sharp, who has played with everyone from Moby to Marc Ribot to Jane Siberry. (Drummers T Xiques and Chris Cullo have also appeared with Grenadilla; Lan’s husband, Bryan Gunn, is the band’s live sound engineer.)

“What I love most about playing with Grenadilla is the lushness of the vocals,” says Sharp. “It’s interesting for me because we try to keep the music as authentic as possible, which I really appreciate because for years I’ve loved juju and a lot of other African music.”

Lan studied music, released an album, and even had some pop hits in her native country before immigrating to Nashville in 1987, where she did the requisite songwriter’s stint on the Music City scene. In the early ’90s she moved to the Hudson Valley, where she’s since worked as a backup

vocalist for Robbie Dupree, Livingston Taylor, and Artie Traum, and currently teaches music at High Meadow School in Stone Ridge. Lan also sings with Callan, Sacash, Williams, Glennon, and Palinkas in the 20-strong (and growing) adult voice ensemble Bloom, and oversees the youth voice group Blossom.

In addition to performing at local school and community functions and gatherings like the Rosendale Street and Clearwater festivals, Grenadilla has lately been making its spirited, multi-voiced presence known well beyond the group’s home turf. Besides performing on Sirius XM’s “Kids Place Live” and attending Brooklyn’s KindieFest music conference, the band has drawn raves from leading kids music website MinivanBlues.com and—perhaps best of all—from parents and teachers around the country.

“This music is all about community spirit,” says Lan. “People can be self-conscious about trying to make music, worry about whether or not they’re tone deaf and think that they have to be trained ‘musicians’ just to play for fun. But that’s not true. [Grenadilla’s members] want to encourage all people to make music a part of their daily lives. We want them to see that through music they can be part of something much larger.”

Grenadilla will perform with Dan Zanes, Elizabeth Mitchell, Rani Arbo, Daisy Mayhem, and others at a release party for Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti at the Pines Theater in Northampton, Massachusetts, on September 26. www.grenadillasings.com.

How many times have you heard about a young person turning towards the discipline of music, and finding not just something important to say with their souls, but a new way to process the information of life, which oddly enough has the side effect of improving grades and intelligence? The folks at the recently-moved Woodstock Music Shop have plans for a small

recording studio at their new location, free of charge for local youth to experiment and make demos. Working in tandem with the Woodstock Youth Center, they plan to offer more musically-themed activities like concerts, workshops, classes; even things like kids karaoke, and Rock Band/Guitar Hero contests with prizes. This Colony Café benefit features some of Woodstock’s finest: Bruce Ackerman, Peggy Atwood, Jeremy Bernstein, Marc Black, Mr. E, The Dylan Emmitt Band, Kyle Esposito, Amy Helm, Brian Hollander, Journey Blue Heaven, David Kraai, DB Leonard, Mike & Ruthy, Don Sparks, Norm Wennett, Elly Winninger, and more.

Small wonder: Rebecca Martin (previously featured in Roll) has already had a successful music career with Once Blue, and has since continued an intriguing solo career while raising a young child with her husband, bassist Larry Grenadier. Now, as head of the Kingston Land Trust, she plans to raise awareness not only about local natural features, but also young musical talent. Anyone who has heard the Kingston High School Jazz Combo has been floored by the quality and attention to detail they put into the charts, performing at Jazz at Lincoln Center as one of the finalists in the national Essentially Ellington competition, and at the annual NYSSMA conference in Rochester.

More than one hundred area youngsters have taken part in the ensemble and the group has given concerts all over the region, including performances at West Point and Jacob’s Pillow.

Th 9/23- ACCEPT wiTh KiNGS X, AT ThE ChANCE ThEATEr, PouGhKEEPSiE—Anybody who is down with loud-ass guitar, thunderiffic bass and drums, and actual melodic—yet serious and manly—singing over it, with understandable words and attention to performance, is not going to want to miss this veritable clinic in how to do it right. Accept is your archetypical Teutonic metal group, starting out in the 70s as a speed-metal group before emerging alongside of MTV with their 1983 album/hit Balls to the Wall. The band had sporadic success since, and with several line-up changes and hiatuses, but is back with a new group—built around original members Peter Baltes and Wolf Hoffmann—and a new CD (Blood of the Nations, 2010). Formed in 1980, Kings X has had its line-up intact from day one, and (in my opinion) are one of the most dynamic rock trios in history. Bassist Doug Pinnick’s signature 12-string bass and soulful lead vocals are augmented by Ty Tabor’s inventive (and huge) guitar, and Jerry Gaskill’s understated, yet powerful drums. Three-part harmony stuff Alice In Chains wish they could hit, and tunes that actually have emotional pathos: why isn’t this more popular? Maybe you should go find out for yourself.

And two: the Welsh tend to have big tuneful voices. Think I’m joking? Two words: Tom Jones. And while I’m at it, two more: Martyn Joseph, whose warm dry baritone plays nicely off his powerful and precise solo acoustic guitar work, and who will be gracing the intimate stage of the Rosendale Café. 25 years in the biz, 30 albums (most recent is Evolved, 2008), five Top U.K. chart positions, tours with Suzanne Vega, Marc Cohn, Joan Armatrading, Runrig, Clannad, Chris de Burgh, Art Garfunkel, Jools Holland, Celine Dion, and Shirley Bassey. And voted Best Male Artist at the 2004 BBC Welsh Music Awards. No squeaky tenors from London get that one. Joseph is what you might call an old-school balladeer, able to inform, soothe, illuminate, work the emotional spectrum, resonate with the room. We recommend getting tickets in advance, this one is going to be jamming. (And get some of the Café’s famous gazpacho while the tomatoes are in!)

local health care providers and resources—all participating artists will receive free and discounted health services from medical and health professionals for free or at discounted rates. O+ was started by a handful of Hudson Valley artists and doctors whose goals were to bring vitality to their neighborhood and to offer a community-driven solution to the inaccessibility of public health care. Dr. Thomas Cingel, DDS, a Kingston-based dentist and festival co-organizer, says “O+ is about supporting our artists by providing them a weekend-long health

clinic. In some cases, treatment will continue after the festival at little or no cost.” Artists are often called upon to perform their services for free in benefit gig situations, quite often they are the only ones doing so. Here’s an excellent chance to give a little something back to them for a change, while enjoying some top shelf art and entertainment. Along with exhibits, short films, performances, and large-scale outdoor wheat-paste murals, bands galore perform—Common Prayer, Hopewell, Mike & Ruthy, Nina Violet, POOK, and fifteen more—sagely selected by members of Mercury Rev. Participating Uptown Kingston venues include Keegan Ales, Elephant, the Stockade Tavern, Backstage Studio Productions, and the Beahive. O+ Festival of Music,

SA 10/9- 5Th ANNuAl roBBiE duPrEE & friENdS Show, AT BEArSVillE ThEATEr, woodSToCK—If you were alive and conscious in 1980, chances are real good you’ve heard Robbie Dupree. The perky perfect roller-skate groove, popping synth riff, and smooth vocal delivery of “Steal Away” had a ubiquitous presence on FM radio that year, and followed by follow-up hits “Hot Rod Hearts” and “Brooklyn Girls,” Dupree seemed to have the foundation set for major stardom, which yet somehow managed to elude him. Undaunted, Dupree has since continued to perform his well-written and soulful “smooth rock” for his solid international fan base and

record ten albums—most recently his well-received Time and Tide (Spectra, 2010), featuring some of the cream of the Woodstock musicians (David Sancious, Larry Hoppen). And darned if the bus isn’t passing around for another look: Dupree recently performed—with The Roots—on Jimmy Fallon’s show, as part of Fallon’s ongoing tribute to “yacht rock,” which is apparently a term for the resurgent laid-back California style popular in the late 70s/early 80s, as well as the title of a cult online serial. Meanwhile, the irresistible “Steal Away” keeps popping up, most recently on Saturday Night Live and the film “I Love You Phillip Morris,” with Jim Carrey and Ewan MacGregor. Dupree plays Bearsville every October, and Woodstock’s finest will be on hand to make it a memorable show.

BY LAND OR SEA— HELL BROKE LOOSE(independent)

“Tinman”—the elegiac instrumental that opens Hell Broke Loose—is a red herring, one which might leave the uninitiated wholly unprepared for the electrifying power pop which immediately follows on “No Fizz Outta My Soda,” a number far less clumsy and far more propulsive than its own title might imply.

Even mentioning the terms “power pop” or “pop punk” requires a bit of clarification, because with all the cruddy emo stuff which stakes some hazy claim on either title, it’s important to differentiate between corporate assembly line claptrap and what a band like By Land or Sea—formerly Frankie and His Fingers—is doing. The latter, a trio where each musician clearly knows how to move the music forward in concert with its own energy as well as each other, might not sound out of place alongside the Cars or the Buzzcocks. But they’re no mere revisionists; rather they are a modern band with a modern sound, every bit as vital to 2010 as those other artists were then and now. Call it timeless, if you will.

Whether by egalitarian design or a reflection of three voices laboring over every clever twist and turn, By Land or Sea’s songwriting is credited to the band on Hell Broke Loose. That simple bit of information works well with the concept of a band as a gang taking on the world, and it’s one which By Land or Sea wears comfortably. Frank McGinnis plays the guitar and sings all the lead vocals, but there’s nothing to suggest Adam Stoutenburgh (bass) and Samantha Niss (drums) aren’t equal partners.

Much of the music on Hell Broke Loose is tense by design, cutting a jagged path through a Hudson Valley music scene which is often reflective and quaint. That’s not to suggest it’s all amps turned up to 11, as “The Whole Thing” is a forlorn lament on piano and vocals, with crickets chirping throughout.

Hell Broke Loose is one of those rare treats, which feels contemporary and classic all at once. —crispin kott

REBECCA MARTIN—

WHEN I WAS LONG AGO(Sunnyside Communications)

Credit Rebecca Martin for recording an album of standards in a time when Rod Stewart’s own covers albums have all but rendered the concept as powerful as a fistful of wilted celery.

When I Was Long Ago sees Martin step back from her own comfort zone and into a world of cramped jazz bars, where the closeness of the music somehow warmly works its way through the smoke into every corner of the room. Martin’s voice is as rich and full as a jar of honey, carried along by the acoustic bass of Larry Grenadier and the varied saxophones of Bill McHenry. The 11 tracks feel like a labor of love, not only for the material but for the interplay between the musicians.

Among the tracks is a pair of songs by George and Ira Gershwin, whose music has recently been given a blast of California sunshine by former Beach Boy Brian Wilson. But while Wilson opted to explore the “Fun Fun Fun” in the Gershwin tunes, Martin honors their inherent melancholy, recognizes that even if there really is “Someone to Watch Over Me,” there’s no certainty that they’re within reach.

That’s not to suggest that there’s no joy to be found here, as “Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams” is offered as a map to find one’s way out of the darkness, and “Cheer Up Charlie” might even actually cheer up the saddest of sacks.

There’s always been something comforting in the clicks of an upright bass, or the tingles up the back of your neck the first breath through a saxophone can render. Add to that Martin’s voice, which could easily fit somewhere between the bombastic cheer of Ella Fitzgerald and the loneliness of Billie Holiday. When I Was Long Ago may represent a departure for Martin, but it’s a good one.

music reviewsMIKE & RUTHY— MILLION TO ONE (Humble Abode Music)

Million to One, the new album by Mike & Ruthy (a.k.a. Mike Merenda and Ruthy Ungar), is a confident collection that brings the energy and warmth of their live shows into the recording studio, without losing any of the charm which makes the duo (and their band) so much fun.

Mike & Ruthy somehow manage to walk the fine line between celebration and contemplation without ever coming off as uncomfortable or forced. The music on Million to One is sometimes so delicate and intimate, as on the gently picked “As My Eyes Run Wild,” it’s as though you can feel the

breath of a lover on your cheek. “Rise” would be perfect coming through the speakers of a car as it hugs the curves of a back road somewhere in the Catskills. On the other side of the spectrum is the staggering “Goodbye,” as heartbreaking a song as you’re likely to hear this year.

“Who’s Who” effectively evokes mid-period Dylan, with Merenda’s song-and-dance man vocal delivery and Ungar’s slashing fiddle. “Summer Sun,” which closes out this set, is almost a whisper from Ungar, as though sung alone on a darkened road to keep from wondering what might be buried in the shadows.

Million to One is largely acoustic, and probably also falls mostly under the folk umbrella. But with so many textures beneath so many layers, Mike & Ruthy have covered a lot of ground here, all of it organically. And all of it satisfies. —crispin kott www.mikeandruthy.com

IggY AND THE STOOgES Raw Power (Legacy Edition) (Columbia/Legacy Records)

Gold (40th Anniversary Edition) DVD(Wild Eye Releasing/MVD Visual)

The Stooges’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year was a moment of long-overdue vindication—and a bittersweet one as well, since it followed the death of original guitarist Ron Asheton in January 2009. But after having toiled in their day to almost single-handedly create punk rock while receiving little in return save for jeers, hostile derision, and ambivalence from the world at large, the group is wholly entitled to have the last laugh. For during their 1969-74 apex the Stooges represent, arguably, the greatest rock ’n’ roll band that ever was. Granted, the Velvets are probably more influential and the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, etc. had the hits and made music of more varied moods. But in terms of pure rock ’n’ roll, of actually making the kind of lawless, unhinged, id-baring clatter that was hinted at by the earlier blues and rockabilly pioneers? Forget about it. Elvis wiggled his hips and Jagger licked his lips, but, as Lester Bangs once noted, Iggy Pop and band took everything to the next level: They externalized the music. The real deal, no holding back. They wrote songs that were the ultimate in sexually charged jungle noise and played them in the only way such songs should be played—with steely, all-out abandon. They nailed the very core essence of rock ’n’ roll, and then they lived it with their confrontational performances. Since the Stooges were born, punk proper and everything else that has come after claiming to rock are mere attempts to recapture what they started. Some are more successful than others, but the original model remains the best.

As Roll goes to press,we rabidly await the appearance of the revamped lineup of front man Iggy, drummer Scott Asheton (Ron’s brother), new bassist Mike Watt (ex-Minutemen), and Stooges Mk. II guitarist James Williamson at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in Monticello. For the occasion, the band had been set to perform the entirety of 1973’s Raw Power, its incendiary third album, recently reissued as a two-CD Legacy edition (the original, David Bowie-mixed album plus a never-before-heard live disc; reviewed here) and a deluxe package featuring the above two CDs, a third disc of studio outtakes (many previously unheard), a DVD, hardcover book, vinyl single, and other goodies. When the Stooges recorded Raw Power, they had just reunited for the first time, having released two LPs to an uncaring world before breaking up in 1971. Two years on, the Motor City outfit was back together with Iggy’s name out front, Ron Asheton having since moved from guitar to bass and Williamson taken over as guitarist. Stooges fans can be divided over which of their three initial albums is best, as all are markedly different. There’s the primitive caveman ür-stomp of 1969’s The Stooges; the pounding rock and avant-noise of 1970’s Fun House (to this writer the best rock ’n’ roll album ever made), and the scorching, unstoppably propulsive Raw Power. It’s the latter that had the most immediate influence on punk, especially in London, where the band was living when the record was made. Home to flame-thrower anthems (“Search And Destroy,” the title track) and dark, abyss-staring blues (“I Need Somebody,” “Gimme Danger”), it’s a

life-affirming masterpiece that anyone with a beating heart should own. The second Legacy disc consists of a fantastic 1973 Atlanta performance of the band blazing through Raw Power tunes and several others that never made it to the studio while Iggy baits the confused good ol’ boys who wandered in that night. Essential stuff, to say the least. A studio outtake and a rehearsal track are bonus cuts.

The Stooges’ Detroit “brother” band was the MC5, whose fans may have heard about the 1968 hippie exploitation film Gold, thanks to the inclusion of its theme song on the band’s Babes in Arms (ROIR Records) rarities set. With three songs the MC5 contributes most heavily to the movie’s soundtrack, which also features folkie Ramblin’ Jack Elliot and others. Sadly, it’s those three tunes that consitute the most memorable part of the film. Produced by Bob Levis, it stars B-flick mainstay Del Close, and is little more than a drug-fueled, impossible-to-follow, “wacky” mess that makes “Laugh-In” look like William Shakespeare. With pretenses of radical social commentary, it seems to have been mostly an excuse to film naked hippie chicks (okay, that has its merits). A counter-cultural curio at best, really.—Peter Aaron

LOSS OF SPOUSE—When you begin to process what has happened to your life after the loss of a spouse, you come face-to-face with two major issues: the grief over the loss and a new financial position that has been thrust upon you. Both of these issues are so powerful and at times overwhelming that you may find yourself acting as though one or both of them does not exist. This loss is not one of those miserable situations you can work around—you must work through it. The amount of time it will take to feel “normal” again varies widely as there are no magic time tables you can consult to find out when the grief will end. INSURANCE SETTLEMENTS—Money that comes from the settlement of a lawsuit is hardly a joyous windfall. Most of the time, this money is a recovery of damages, pain, suffering, and loss. It has probably taken many years of legal battling to secure your settlement. While getting the money might be nice, the real blessing is to have the matter over with so you can go on with your life. You may be surprised at the way you feel when you finally receive the settlement. This event can reignite the pain and suffering you experienced when the tragedy first occurred. Ideally, you will begin the orientation and planning process prior to receiving the settlement.

BEWARE OF FUTURE SPENDING—Even if the settlement amount sounds huge, be assured that it is limited. You don’t want to end up owing as much or more than you receive. Pre-settlement is a confusing time, you can either improve you chance of successfully managing your life, or you can permanently and unknowingly damage your future financial security.

2010, investors lost sight of the fact that there will be bumps along the road and were shocked by the Greek debt crisis and other negative economic news. Yes, we’ve seen a slowing of economic growth, but it hasn’t stopped. GDP is positive, manufacturing is still expanding, and employment may be improving.

• Stop looking at the cloudS and you’ll notice the Sun. You’d be hard pressed to find a time in recent history when U.S. corporations were in better shape than they are now. Balance sheets are flush with cash, which companies will ultimately have to reinvest, pay out in dividends, or use to make acquisitions. If earnings don’t disappoint, stocks will look cheap relative to historical averages. And with productivity increasing and labor inexpensive, it won’t be long before corporations start to loosen their purse strings and hire new employees.

• We’ve got the lake houSe—let’S buy a boat, too, While it’S cheap. Because they fear temporary threats to the market, a lot of investors are still holding cash on the sidelines or are investing in bonds instead of equities. Once volatility is reined in and markets stabilize, bulls think that those scared investors will buy their way back in—and markets will take off.

ENJOY THAT LEMONADE, BUT KEEP AN UMBRELLA NEARBY!It has been a very confusing and stressful summer for investors. It is unclear whether the bears’ structural risks or the bulls’ cyclical recovery will triumph over the next few quarters. Despite the recent pullback we’ve experienced, the lightning is still in the distance and the sun is still peeking through the clouds. The best investment strategy is to focus on the long term, keep a well-diversified portfolio, and distance your self emotionally from the market. Turn off the financial news—it may just make you feel crazy.

Bulls vs. Bears—Two Perspectives on the Markets By Beth Jones, RLP®

Relaxing on the porch on a summer afternoon…the sun is shining and the sky’s a brilliant blue. Yet, sometimes, you can’t help noticing those ominous-looking clouds that pop up on the horizon. Is a storm coming, or will it just blow over?

Historically, equity markets have often mirrored the calm and lazy pace of summer, but this year investors seem to have their eyes fixed on the dark clouds. The question is whether they’re as harmless as heat lightning, or as dangerous as a summer hurricane.

We’ve been experiencing volatile markets over the past few months so here’s a brief overview of what the bulls and bears are saying.

bearS: Shutter the WindoWS, a Storm iS coming

• the economic recovery WaS only a mirage. Recent economic data has shown signs that the recovery, which looked robust in the fourth quarter of 2009, is slowing down. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth was revised downward to just 2.7 percent for the first quarter and 2.4% for the secondquarter of 2010, with unemployment steady at 9.5% nationally.

The economy has continued to be propped up by a government spending plan that will ultimately only increase our ballooning deficit. Many consumers are strapped for cash, which means that there’s not enough demand for goods to fuel a true recovery.

• We Shouldn’t have bought that big lake houSe We couldn’t afford. The government, businesses, and private citizens have been borrowing on their future for decades, and now is the time to pay the piper. The debt burden our country carries is likely to stunt GDP growth going forward. We won’t be able to grow our way out of this one, and, in the long run, no one can bail us out. Following systemic banking crises, downturns in equities average 3.4 years and unemployment rises for nearly 5 years. Businesses and consumers aren’t able to access as much credit as they used to, and once bond investors begin demanding higher yields on Treasuries, the government will have the same problem.

• all SignS point to an impending hurricane. Market technicals don’t look very good right now. The S&P 500 fell below the technical support/resistance point of the 200-day moving average in late June. The low point was reached in February, through which the S&P also recently broke, and the 50-day moving average is poised to fall below the 200-day moving average, which is a bearish sign. The next significant support point is at 880, which was the low in July 2009 before the market bounced up off the 200-day moving average. Some bears are even calling for a retest of the lows of March 2009.

bullS: Sit tight and order up another lemonade

• a tough Winter meanS a beautiful Summer. Historically, some of the strongest growth in the economy and some of the best returns in the stock market have followed a recession. It isn’t abnormal to see a choppy recovery, however. In the rally of 2009 and early

The works of Kim McLean are hard to recognize as photography per se; it feels more like the artist made paint out of photos, and used it to make paintings that are…um, photos. Let’s try again. Using an architectural software platform, McLean creates layers of virtual worlds—derived from photos—which are then treated like building materials in the software, creating “things” that can be manipulated in three dimensions, de- and re-constructed at her whim. Lionel Gilbert’s work is in directcontrast to primitive oil-on-canvas and is decidedly two-dimensional, colorful

yet oddly faded abstracts.The scenarios of Harry Wilks’ photos mix vibrant graffiti-covered urban scenes combined

with color flashes and strange architectural geometry, creating active spaces strangely devoid of people. Carrie Haddad Photography, 3 1 8 Wa r r e n S t . , H u d s o n , www.carriehaddadgallery.com, 518.828.7655.

roll the music

Ah, Parker Brothers. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Of course it does. Anyone who has ever played a board game knows the name: Risk, Clue, Monopoly. Woodstock has its own version of a Parker Brothers “Monopoly”: five musical and artistic brothers who—plus Dad—have produced five drummers who have not only anchored Woodstock and the greater Hudson Valley with the very best in rhythmic support possible, but also made big contributions to American popular music, as evidenced by the accompanying list of artists they have provided sound foundations for over the years (see sidebar, pg. 40).

Though this enormously talented musical family has played together often privately, it’s a rare occurrence for them all to perform together publicly on a single evening. In fact, it’s never actually happened before. Yet, it appears there really is a first time for everything: a special Parker Brothers Bearsville show is going down this September, with the headlining act being the Stuff Brothers, celebrating the legendary band Stuff—longtime local faves at the Joyous Lake—and featuring founding member Christopher Parker drumming alongside brother Eric Parker. With Tony Parker’s Exit 19 and Nicholas Parker’s Moolah Ltd., and father Robert Parker’s Jive By Five opening the show, the plan is to have the full family—including artist/guitarist/not-drummer Geoff Parker—take stage at the end, and potentially positively drum the wayward planet back into its proper groove. Well OK, at the very least, Woodstock.

S o the question has to be: how do you end up with five drummers in one family? Certainly it starts with someone like Robert Parker,

visual artist extraordinaire and enthusiastic jazz drummer. After his first solo art show upon graduating, in 1954, Robert kept up momentum with exhibitions, augmenting income by doing set design for opera and film, and numerous book illustrations. All while cultivating an abiding love for jazz drumming, playing along with the radio and recordings.

While at school in Chicago, Robert met, wooed, and wed Dorothy, who gave birth to Christopher in 1951, and Tony soon after. With a drum kit ready to go at all times, the kids couldn’t help themselves; with the help of wooden blocks attached to double-edged skates, the young boys could more easily reach the pedals, with Chris getting drumside first, at age three. During Robert’s brief Army stint, Eric was born in a Staten Island VA hospital (’54), and after the family moved to Mt. Kisco, was followed by Geoff (’56) and Nicholas (’62). The family then decamped to Carmel, where the boys spent their formative years.

There was always music in the house. As Eric recalls, ”Dad would constantly have Ed Beach and really nice jazz programs on, all day and night. I think that part of it was that Dad made it so much fun when we kids watched him play there in front of us, because he’d turn up the radio and drum to jazz.” Chris agrees, “Someone was always rehearsing at the house and that both parents were so tolerant of that made it conducive.” Indeed, Dorothy took advantage of the mayhem to operate the family “time-saving devices.”

It was not the plan to all be drummers. The eldest, Chris played trumpet, but still set the pace on the kit, with Eric—after messing around with woodwinds and guitar—in hot pursuit. Tony went for harmonica and guitar, however, learning Paul Butterfield licks note for note, even playing his first gig with Chris’ band. “But then I kept gravitating to the

drums; I couldn’t resist. Basically, the drums kept calling me. Then one day, I smashed my guitar and lost my harmonica collection. So I just got serious about the drums.”

Chris originally had planned to be an artist, studying at New York City’s School of Visual Arts on scholarship. But then he changed his mind, answering an ad in Rolling Stone for a drum job in Woodstock, with a band called Holy Moses. Though that didn’t last long, it did lead to a gig with harmonica master Paul Butterfield, which in turn had him jamming with folks like Bonnie Raitt, Tim Hardin, Rick Danko and Bobby Charles…at the age of 19. Four years later, when Chris packed up to return to the city, Eric picked the gig up, keeping it in the family.

Meanwhile, Tony’s drum epiphany pushed him further. “I got real serious about it. At age 18, I took a trip to Ireland for four months, lived in a house there with no electricity. Had a battery-powered tape recorder and my drum set. I had literally nothing to do but cut wood….and woodshed! That’s when I really worked at it, four to five hours

a day. And realized how much work was necessary to sound as good as my older brother, for instance.”

Back in Brooklyn, Tony also answered an ad in the paper, and soon found himself with a house gig at Folk City, smack dab in the Greenwich Village folk scene, playing with a group called Trouble. “Interesting band: four female singers with three guys backing them up. Hence the name: trouble!” This led to gigs with Laura Nyro, Phil Ochs, and eventually a tour with Mary Travers.

Chris wasted no time getting into the New York scene, and after meeting bassist Gordon Edwards on a jingle date, found himself invited to join a regular gig with his band Encyclopedia of Soul at a joint called Mikell’s (97th and Columbus), alongside keyboardist Richard Tee and guitarist Cornell Dupree, Mondays through Thursdays, originally backing up singer Esther Marrow, a.k.a. Queen Esther.

Queen Esther eventually moved on, and drummer Steve Gadd and guitarist Eric Gale found their way to Mikell’s, and were soon both absorbed by the now-intensely popular house band—re-christened Stuff. The double-guitar, double-drum, double handed piano/organ, and Fender bass funk punch of the band immediately found its rightful place with greats like the Meters, Muscle Shoals, Stax, and Motown rhythm sections, and the players individually and collectively were in almost constant demand for sessions and tours (Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Joe Cocker, etc.), especially overseas. Chris was also touring and recording with the Brecker Brothers, and in huge demand in the studio with Ashford & Simpson, Robert Palmer, and Patti LaBelle.

But Woodstock pulled Chris back upstate, and half the band—Tee, Gale, and Gadd—relocated as well, resulting in many a memorable Stuff gig at the Joyous Lake in Woodstock during the 80s. Meanwhile, Eric was coming into his own, playing with John Hall, backing up Bonnie Raitt. With two young daughters, drumming at home was becoming problematic, so one winter he called up his friend Michael Lang—of the Woodstock concert/movie fame—to inquire about a studio space, wondering if it was available. Lang called back with bad news: no heat. But, then he said “’you want to go on tour with Joe Cocker?’ I said ‘when,’ and he said ‘right away.’” The next day Eric was running down the tunes with the rest of the band at S.I.R., two days later on a plane to Tel Aviv. The Cocker gig lasted a good long time, three tours a year, lots of international travel. Tours with Steve Winwood and Ian Hunter cemented his reputation, and Eric soon had residence in both Manhattan and Woodstock, constantly busy.

While the other brothers were in full swing, Geoff took the path less travelled, joining the Merchant Marines, later becoming an accomplished artist and slide guitarist. Nicholas was greatly inspired by the brother’s successes—particularly Chris, who gave him his first kit—and after playing around locally and a year at Berklee School of Music, found himself back in Woodstock picking up substitute gigs for Eric, which quickly resulted in work with Orleans, Rick Derringer, and even a project with Todd Rundgren, doing the music for the pilot of Crime Story. One lip-synch gig turned into a full re-cut of country artist Randy Van Warmer’s hit “Just When I Needed You Most.” Despite having three older brothers in the business—all great players—Nicholas had developed his own distinctive Parker drummer reputation; soon he too was in the City doing nightclub and theatre work, booked solid.

Stuff finally collapsed from the weight of having such constantly in-demand musicians, and Chris accepted the Saturday Night Live house band gig in 1986, which he held down for six years, while also touring with Bob Dylan and playing on Donald Fagen’s Grammy-nominated Kamakiriad. Though Stuff members played together in different projects, tragedy struck with the back-to-back passings of Richard Tee and Eric Gale in ’93-’94. Stuff would now be but a legend, one of the greatest R&B rhythm sections of all time.

When asked the difference in styles the brothers bring individually, their responses are interesting. Chris: “I see no difference in style and deep concern with ‘the time,’ only a difference in actual set-ups. Some like smaller kits, or larger kits but each player continues to grow musically.” Tony: “I think Eric leaned more towards rock, and the same with Nicholas. Chris and I have been, I think, on a similar path, in that we like funk, fusion, and jazz a little bit more than the other guys.” Eric: “I used to get good gigs by saying ‘hey, if you want a little more fire on the backburner, give me a call.’ I like leaning into it and getting pretty fired up about it.” Nicholas: “I’d say I’m a songwriter’s drummer more than anything else. I really lock on to lyrics and melodies in order to find my place in the rhythm of the music. I relish rests, space, and the un-beat as it were.”

Oddly enough, it was a last-minute substitution that made this Parker Brothers show finally happen. Chris had been playing with a new NYC-based Stuff tribute band—The Stuff Brothers—and they found themselves short a drummer for a date at the Bitter End. Eric answered the call, and, boy, did they have a time of it that night. The brothers peppered each other all night with rhythmic jokes only they could get, cracking each other up. Stoked by the Bitter End gig, they booked the band at Bearsville Theater—with

continued from pg 39...


the assistance of Woodstock Underground—but realized they needed support bands. That’s when Tony, Nicholas, and Robert got pulled in, to make a complete Parker gig, the first ever.

But it won’t end there for the Parkers. Chris is currently touring with Akiko Yano and Will Lee, most recently in Japan. His own band Toph-E & the Pussycats new album, No Ordinary Day, has just been released, and gigs with Funkasaurus Rex and Robbie Dupree are scheduled in the coming months. Tony stays busy with Exit 19, “classic rock/blues” band, Butter, and instrumental horn funk band, Blue Food. Eric has been touring sporadically with Poussette-Dart Band, Marc Black, Uncle Rock, and Kurt Henry Band, while producing and teaching. Though Geoff is a successful artist, he and Eric collaborate musically with Science Friction, their weird lo-fi techno project. Nicholas has recently completed his Master’s degree and is back to playing frequently. And this may not be the last time they go for the full family monty.

If you have any love for rhythm, Bearsville will be the place to be on this September night, deep in the family groove of the famous “Parker Pocket.” This one’s not to be missed.

The Parker Brothers Extravaganza is at Bearsville Theater, 291 Tinker St., Woodstock, September 18 at 7 PM. See www.bearsvilletheater.com for more info.

Tribeca’s HERE, this new play by renowned poet Robert Kelly

gets an upstate run courtesy of Dangerous Ground Productions,

The Woodstock Players, and Byrdcliffe Theater. Oedipus After

Colonus—directed by Crichton Atkinson, with Carey Harrison

as Oedipus—attempts to answer the question: What happens

the moment that Oedipus dies at the end of Oedipus at Colonus?

Sophocles tells us he vanishes, that he is snatched away by the gods.

But where does he go, what happens to him? The event of Oedipus’

death was witnessed by two people, the politician Theseus who

saw nothing because he hid his face in his hands, and a lowly

messenger, who, having seen very little, has nothing much to

report. It’s a mystery: the Greeks, known for their logic,

mathematics, philosophy and theater, allow their most famed

character to just disappear. This is the point of departure that

Robert Kelly takes in order to create his own answers. Oedipus After

Colonus looks at the loss of a life as a death in all who loved them,

one that questions identity and reveals the flexibility of human will

and desire. Byrdcliffe Theater, Upper Byrdcliffe Rd., Woodstock,

at MErEStEad, MouNt kiSco—When it comes

to quality contemporary American musical

theatre, it’s a mighty short list of composers/

librettists that surely has to start with the name

Sondheim. But the next spot could easily be

occupied by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin,

Wicked), whose supple scores and winsome lyrics

have held up very well under heavy repetition.

For this “intimate afternoon” at the Copland

House at Merestad, Schwartz and soprano

Lauren Flanigan preview the New York City

Opera’s forthcoming premiere production of Schwartz’s acclaimed

new opera, Séance on a Wet Afternoon. Schwartz will explore how

this dark, intense story brought him to the operatic stage for the

first time in his long, illustrious career on Broadway and in film.

Flanigan, joined by pianist Michael Boriskin, will sing several

arias from the opera, and Schwartz will explore the origins of

this intriguing work, a psychological thriller based on the novel

by Mark McShane about an ambitious psychic who devises an

elaborate kidnapping scheme to win the fame she desperately

craves. (The book also inspired British director Bryan Forbes’

famous 1964 film noir.) Schwartz will also remain afterwards

to autograph copies of Defying Gravity, the comprehensive book

about his work. Copland House at Merestead, Mount Kisco,

start with this event: a sneak preview of the

movie Nowhere Boy, which tells the story of

John Lennon’s formative years growing up in

Liverpool, learning and developing an interest

in music, and the family undercurrents shaping

the creative and inspirational qualities that

eventually made him one of the planet’s most

popular artists. Of course, no story about the

genesis of the Beatles can be complete without

mentioning the Quarrymen, the skiffle band

that Lennon played in with Paul McCartney,

their first band together. The three remaining

Quarrymen—Colin Hanton, Rod Davis,

and Len Garry—have reunited to celebrate

Lennon’s 70th birthday, and will perform at the

When Dr. Franciscus Sylvuis of Holland, also known as Franz de la Boe, invented gin he intended it to be used as a medicine to cure kidney disorders. So how can a flavor-infused distilled neutral spirit possibly be considered to have such healing properties? Well, the word “gin” is (likely) derived from the Dutch word jenever, which translates as juniper, the berries of which are the prime flavor in gin, and have long been recognized—since ancient times—to have medicinal properties, helping with lumbago, stomach ailments, and gout. Booze with infusion—that’s old-school medicine for you.

After its official invention in 1650, it later made a big splash in the United Kingdom in the early 1700’s. During the co-regency of Protestant Monarchs, William of Orange and Queen Mary, the import of French brandy was banned, and duties on German spirits were levied, while allowing unlicensed local gin production. As a result, gin became firmly established in all walks of British society, enjoyed by kings, queens, working class Londoners, and later even MI6’s Agent 007—can’t make a “shaken, not stirred” martini without it. Gin production grew up to six times that of beer, eventually leading to what became known as the “Gin Madness” of 1720’s London. One source states that by 1750, Londoners consumed 11 million gallons of gin per year—I get a headache just thinking about it. After English Parliament passed the Tippling Act eliminating small gin shops, consumption of the liquor dropped and gin quality improved. But for a long time thereafter, gin held a bad reputation: “gin joint” and “gin-soaked” could hardly be considered complimentary.

Gin and tonics are perhaps today’s most recognized gin drink. When we think of this tasty and refreshing beverage during the dog days of summer, we rarely consider how the drink came about, or why we associate it with summertime in the first place. Believe it or not, it was actually during the period of British-occupied India when quinine, a white powder made from the bark of Chinchona trees and an ingredient in tonic water, was discovered to carry anti-malarial properties. While tonic water itself is bitter, the British Raj soon found that mixing it with the Queen’s gin made a much

ARIES (march 21-april 19): In an old comedy sketch called “One Leg Too Few,” a one-legged man comes in to a casting agent's office to audition for the part of Tarzan in an upcoming show. The agent is as diplomatic as he can be given the fact that the role would best be played by a strapping young man with

exceptional running and leaping skills. “It’s possible that no two-legged men will apply,” the agent tells the applicant, “in which case you could get the part.” Don’t be like the one-legged man in this story, Aries. While I usually encourage you to think big and dream of accomplishing amazing feats, this is one time when you should respect your limitations.

TAURUS (april 20-may 20): As I was meditating on your horoscope for this week, a song popped into my head: Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing.” I instantly knew it was a message from my unconscious, meant to be delivered to your unconscious—a perfect action plan for you to pursue in order to be in maximum alignment with the astrological omens. I encourage you to come up with your own interpretation of what “sexual healing” means for you, maybe even write your own lyrics. If you’d like to listen to the original for inspiration, go here: tinyurl.com/SexHealing. P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner

to conjure up the cure.

GEMINI (may 21-June 20): You probably get emails that close like this: “Sent from my iPhone.” Maybe you even deliver emails like that yourself. Keep that detail in mind while I tell you the dream I had last night. In the dream, all of my Gemini friends had sent me poignant emails. Every one of them said

something like, “I’ve got to get back to where I started from” or “There’s something really important that I’ve got to do, but I can’t remember what it is” or “I hear a voice calling my name but I don’t know who it is or where it’s coming from.” And each of their emails ended like this: “Sent from my iSoul.” I suspect my dream is in perfect accordance with your astrological omens, Gemini. It’s time to go home, in every sense of the word.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): My name was “Robbie” from birth till seventh grade. But as my adolescent hormones began to kick in, I decided I needed a more virile stature. My name became the punchier, sleeker “Rob.” But with every year that passes, I find myself heading back in the direction of “Robbie.” The clever severity of my youth yearns to meld with the buoyant tenderness I’ve been cultivating the past decade. I want my paradoxes to harmonize—my blithe feminine qualities to cooperate with my aggressive masculine side, my bright-eyed innocence to synergize with my restless probing. So you can call me “Robbie” if you like, or “Rob,” or sometimes one and sometimes the other. Isn’t it time for you, too, my fellow Cancerian, to circle back and reclaim an early part of you that got lost along the way?

LEO (July 23-aug. 22): The Clash was a leftwing punk band that launched its career in 1979. With its dissident lyrics and experimental music, it aspired to make an impact on political attitudes. But then one of its songs, “Rock the Casbah,” got so popular that college fraternity parties were playing it as feel-good dance music. That peeved the Clash’s lead

singer Joe Strummer, born under the sign of Leo. He didn’t want his revolutionary anthems to be used as vulgar entertainment by bourgeois kids. I sympathize with his purity, but I don’t advocate that approach for you. For now, relinquish control of your offerings. Let people use them the way they want to.

VIRGO (aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The trouble with life isn’t that there is no answer; it’s that there are so many answers,” said folklorist Ruth Benedict. That’s always true, of course, but it’s especially apropos for you right now. You’re teeming with viable possibilities. There are so many decent ideas eddying in your vicinity that you may be hard-pressed to pick out just a couple to give your power to. My advice: Let them all swarm and swirl for a few more days, then go with the ones that you feel will last the longest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 22): Jack Mytton was a famous 19th-century eccentric whose wealth and privilege often shielded him from the consequences of his odd behavior. One of his less successful adventures came on a night when he got a bad case of the hiccups. Thinking he could scare himself into being cured, he set fire to his pajamas. In the ensuing mayhem, his

hiccups disappeared but he burned himself. I bring this to your attention, Libra, in the hope it will dissuade you from attacking a small problem in a way that causes a bigger problem. For now it’s better to endure a slight inconvenience. Don’t seek a quick fix that causes a complicated mess.

SCORPIO (oct. 23-nov. 21): In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I will ask you to make everything wetter; to be the personification of fluidity. Where there is drought, use your magic to bring the rain. If you’re stuck in a dynamic that is parched and barren, add moisture and tenderness. Be ingenious, not rash, as you stir up dormant feelings in people you care about. Remind those who are high and dry about the river that runs through them. (A good way to do that is to reveal the river that runs through you.)

SAGITTARIUS (nov. 22-dec. 21): Gwyneth Paltrow is the most perfect person alive, said Gawker.com. From a certain perspective, I suppose it’s possible to award her that title. She’s beautiful, rich, famous, and in good shape. She’s a talented actress and published author. Without denying

september/2010 © Copyright 2010 Rob Brezsny


that Gwyneth is a gem, however, I must say that my standards of perfection are different. Are you doing the work you love? Are you engaged in ongoing efforts to transform your darkness? Do you practice compassion with wit and style? Are you saving the world in some way? Are you skilled at taking care of yourself? Those are my primary measures. What are yours, Sagittarius? It’s an excellent time to define your ideal human.

CAPRICORN (dec. 22-Jan. 19): In an old Star Trek episode, a 24th-century starship captain is weighed down by a knotty problem about how to deal with two of her enemies who are at war with each other. Unable to come up with a viable solution, she retreats to the holodeck, where virtual reality technology can create a convincingly real rendition of any desired scene. Where does she go for advice? She seeks out Leonardo da Vinci in his 16th-century studio. Once she has outlined her dilemma, Leonardo offers his counsel: “When one’s imagination cannot provide an answer, one must turn to a greater imagination.” This is my advice to you right now, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-feb. 18): Seth Grahame-Smith rewrote Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. He kept 85 percent of her material, but also added a big dose of “ultraviolent zombie mayhem,” creating a new story, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. In his version, Austen’s tale is expanded and altered by the previously unrevealed activities of zombies. I urge you to follow Grahame-Smith’s lead, Aquarius.

Take some original creation you really like, and add a shot of your own unique approach to generate a completely new thing.

PISCES (feb. 19-march 20): Everyone alive should see the musical comedy “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” At the very least, we should all meditate regularly on the play’s title, using it as a self-mocking mantra that dissuades us from committing the folly it describes. How better to serve the health of our relationships than by withdrawing the projections we superimpose on people, thereby allowing them to be themselves? Right now you’re in special need of honoring this wisdom, Pisces. If you feel the itch to tell friends and loved ones that they should be different from how they actually are, stop and ask yourself whether maybe you should transform yourself instead.
