Mitchell learned to be a cowboy by following in his daddy’s boot steps on the Nevada Ranches where he worked. Mitchell learned poetry that way too. Though he is perhaps one of America’s best-known cowboy poets, he has said, “I can’t ever remember ‘finding’ cowboy poetry. It was always there. The cowboys sure never called it poetry. I know I wouldn’t have liked it if they would have.” Cowboy poet Waddie Mitchell comes to Turn of the CenInstead, cowboy poetry is simply a way for working tury Saloon in Montrose Aug. 28 with Tyller Gummersall during Mountain States Ranch Rodeo.

MABA Courtesy photo. By Tanya Ishikawa MONTROSE–One year ago, on Aug. 11, the world lost one of its most inspired and inspiring performers. Adored by adults for his film roles in classics like “Dead Poets Society,” “Fisher King,” “Good Morning, Vietnam” and “Awakenings,” but also cherished by children for bringing to life characters like the Genie in “Aladdin” and Teddy Roosevelt in “Night at the Museum,” Robin Williams was one of a kind. Williams will appear on the outdoor screen at the free Bike-In Movie night, organized by the Montrose Area Bike Alliance (MABA) this Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Canyon Creek Bed & Breakfast in Montrose. The final movie of the 2015 alliance film series is “Hook”, where Williams turns in a delightful performance as a grown-up Peter Pan whose children are kidnapped by Captain Hook.

Waddie Mitchell began life as a working cowboy, but his gifts as an entertainer finally forced Mitchell to make a choice. He performed in front of the public for the first time in 1984, after helping to organize the Elko Cowboy Poetry Gathering, according to his official bio. The bio recalls that the first Cowboy Poetry Gathering was set for a cold, snowy weekend in January, when Mitchell, who was running a 36,000-acre ranch in Nevada, could take time away from ranch duties. More than 2,000 people showed up to listen, and Mitchell’s career in the performing arts set off at a full gallop. In the years since, he has performed around the world, appeared on national television numerous times (including four times on the Tonight Show), and has been featured in People, Life, New York Times, USA Today, Fortune, National Geographic, Wall Street Journal and the Official Program for Super Bowl XXX, along with numerous other appearances, performances, articles and books. In 1994, Mitchell founded the Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA) to create scholarships and crisis funds for working cowboys and their families. In April of this year Waddie Mitchell was inducted into the Walk of West- Colorado’s own Tyller Gummersall appears with Cowboy Poet Waddie Mitchell Turn of the Century ern Stars in Old Town Newhall Caliwith at 7 p.m. on Aug. 28.

From pg 1 MABA Director Leanna Johnson, a well known graphic and web designer, believes in keeping one’s imagination alive even as an adult. “I think that is why I like the movie Hook so much, because it really focuses on that,” Johnson said. Courtesy photo MABA. B&B owner who loves to bike along the river on the bike path with her family. The local bicycle advocacy and education organization has organized the movie nights for the past four years, to promote its mission, provide a healthy, free, family activity, and raise funds from donations for popcorn and soda. Attendance was as high as 300 people at one of last year’s movies, which were shown at Rotary Park with pre-show live music and food trucks. “I got the idea from the bike-in movies they have at New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins and wanted to bring an event like that to Montrose,” said MABA Director Leanna Johnson. “I just had a baby so we kinda scaled back this year and have a more intimate setting with a cash bar at the B&B.” Sponsored by Alpine Bank, the city of Montrose, and TEI Rock Drills, the movies are chosen through a Facebook poll from a list selected by the alliance board. “We used to choose movies that were bikerelated such as American Flyers, The Triplets of Belleville, etc.,” Johnson said, but the film selection from the licensing company was limited, “so we just started choosing good classic, family-friendly movies, like Hook.” The Robin Williams film, along with June’s movie, “Jumanji”, were selected in part to honor him. Johnson has seen Hook several times. “I love that children and adults can relate to the movie,” she explained, concluding, “I think it is important to keep your imagination alive as an adult. I think that is why I like the movie Hook so much, because it really focuses on that. I've always had an active imagination and I use it every day to make a living (I'm a freelance graphic and web designer and my husband is an illustrator).” RECENT FILMS BY THE LATE ROBIN WILLIAMS: Williams was busy as ever before his death, as proven by the string of movies that have been released in the last year, including “Night at the Museum 3” (out on December 2014) and “Merry Friggin’ Christmas” (Nov. 2014). Last month, “Absolutely In the 1991 family film, the adult Peter Anything” was released in theaters with Williams as the voice of Dennis the dog in the Pan returns to Neverland to reclaim his film, where a group of aliens try to endow an earthling with the power to do absoluteyouthful spirit, challenge his old enemy ly anything.

Register at WRIGHT OPERA HOUSE TO SHOW GODS OF CARNAGE AUG. 20-22 Special to Art & Sol MONTROSE-Open House Theatricals, the same Kansas City-based group that performed Art by Yasmina Reza at the Wright Opera House to two sell-out crowds in 2013 is returning on August 20 - 22 for another Reza play,God of Carnage. “We continue to bring high quality theater to the Wright because it’s a perfect venue for it and because it’s often our most successful programming,” said Nancy Nixon, president of the Friends of the Wright Opera House, the nonprofit organization that owns and is renovating the Wright. Events such as God of Carnage represent the calibre of performances that the Wright seeks to bring in order to help support a growing culture of arts throughout Ouray County. God of Carnage (originally in French Le Dieu du carnage) is another wellreceived play by Yasmina Reza. It is about two sets of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos. God of Carnage will show three times beginning at 7:30 pm on August 20, 21 and 22.

Art & Sol | August 10, 2015 Page 9 HOW MUSIC TELLS THE STORIES OF OUR LIVES... We all love a good story. The stories in our lives can come in many varieties and sizes. Most present themselves to us in traditional ways. Let’s take a look at a rather non-traditional form of storytelling. The symphony, or program symphony as it is often called when it was composed with the idea of telling a specific story in mind. A symphony that tells a story can use just orchestral music as the means to convey the story, or it can also use words as part of the storytelling process. Of the three examples that will be discussed, one of them features a choral section as part of the overall composition. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 “Choral” is often said to be one of the greatest if not the greatest composition in western music. The form of the symphony follows the traditional four-movement structure. The fourth and final movement features four vocal soloists and a full chorus. The chorus sings words from the Friedrich Schiller poem “Ode to Joy” from 1785. The simple “Ode to Joy” theme is very well known. So well known in fact that each and every one of you reading this article has at one time or another heard this theme somewhere. The general theme of unity and brotherhood of man is at the core of the poem. As a result, this symphony that tells a story is often used at times of celebration and renewal. Perhaps one of the most famous performances of this symphony came in December 1989 when Leonard Bernstein conducted members of various orchestras and choruses in a celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. A piece as moving and timeless as this ninth Symphony finds ways to tell the same story differently at each performance. A lesser-known piece but still a staple of the symphonic repertoire is Antonin Dvorak’s “New World Symphony”, Symphony #9. Again in the traditional four movements, this orchestral work was inspired by Dvorak’s 1893 trip to Iowa. Inspired by the music of Native American’s and African-American spirituals, Dvorak wove the melodies and themes of the New World into his last and most popular symphony. This work gave European audiences an insight into the sounds and the feeling of what was by many considered at the time to be the new world. The popularity of the work has never faltered since its premier. In 1969, Astronaut Neil Armstrong took a copy of this symphony with him to the moon aboard Apollo 11. The story of this symphony is the impression that America had on someone who was seeing the landscape, hearing the music, and speaking with the people for the very first time. It is a story of travel, exploration, and the impact that cultures can have on a single individual. For us, we are fortunate to have this symphonic work at our disposal so that we can also take this journey over and over again. We have briefly discussed renewal, unity, exploration, and the influence of other cultures. Now it is time to turn our attention to the really interesting things. Drugs, hallucinations, and madness. Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz addresses all of these things and much more. Making a turn away from the traditional symphonic four-movement structure, this work is written in five moments with each movement having it’s own title. The titles of the movements are as follows: Reveries/ Passions, A Ball, Scene in the Fields, March to the Scaffold, and Dream of the Night of the Sabbath. It is often said that this piece was written while the composer was quite high on opium. The character of the story within this symphony is a distraught lover who himself is experiencing hallucinations while under the influence of opium. Each of the five movements has its own title, which brings the story even closer to the audience that if each section was labeled according to tempo markings alone. These five hallucinatory sections bring the audience along for the ride. As such, this work is often referred to as a “program symphony” because of this compositional structure. From the loss of love from a beautiful woman to being witness to your own execution, this work is diabolical, frantic, and complete fun. As with many of the pieces that have been discussed in this series on classical music, these three symphonies are often heard throughout popular culture. Movies, TVs, and even soundtracks to video games offer highlights from these great compositions. A good story told by a great storyteller is timeless. Even when we think we are far removed from the world of classical music, we soon learn that it is in fact very much a part of our daily lives.
