TAKE A WALK ON THE
RED CARPET
You’re invited to the most exciting fundraiser
to hit Northeast Ohio!
On Sunday, February 27, the ACMC
Foundation will host an official Oscar®
viewing party during the 83rd Academy
Awards® ceremony.
The black-tie optional affair will be held
at The Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake from
7 to 11 p.m. attendees will experience the
feel of arriving at the Oscars, complete
with red carpet, paparazzi, champagne
and a copy of the official Oscar show
program – the same program given
to celebrities and others attending
the awards show at the Kodak
Theater in Hollywood. Come
in formal attire or dress up as
your favorite celebrity. The
highlight of the night is a live
broadcast of the Awards presentation. Chief Meteorologist Mark
Johnson from NewsChannel 5 will
be Host for the local event.
Guests at Oscar Night America will
not only experience the glitz
and glamour of a Hollywoodstyle event, they will also play an
instrumental role in raising money
to help the ACMC Foundation and
Ashtabula County Medical Center
open a community clinic. The clinic
will provide much needed healthcare
to area residents who are uninsured
or underinsured.
“Oscar Night has long been
an occasion for friends and
families to gather and
cheer for their favorite
films and stars,” said
Academy Executive
Director Bruce Davis.
“This nationwide network of fundraising
parties is a natural
extension of that
shared experience.”
Tickets to the ACMC
Foundation’s Oscar Night America event are
$125 each. In addition to the live broadcast of the Academy Awards, guests will
have an opportunity to mingle with local
celebrities, play Casino games and bid on
auction items including; a helmet autographed by Jim Tressell, an autographed
banner from ESPN, memorabilia from the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci-
ences, items from Cleveland Indians and
Cleveland Cavaliers, and more.
“Oscar Night America is a unique opportunity to combine our love of movies
and movie stars with raising money to
help our friends and neighbors receive
the healthcare services they need,” said
Ken Johnson, a board member of
the ACMC Foundation. Johnson
is General Manager of Conneaut
Telephone Company and Cable
Suite 541. His connections with
individuals associated with
the Oscar broadcast helped secure the Oscar Night America event in the Cleveland
market.
Only one charity party in a
given media market may participate in ONA. Events are entirely produced by local nonprofit
organizations, with the active
participation of the local ABC-TV
affiliate station. The ACMC Foundation’s Oscar Night America party
is the only official Oscar party in
northern Ohio. Cincinnati is the
only other Ohio city to host an official Oscar Night America party.
Since its inception in 1994, the
program has generated nearly $30
million in funding for a wide spectrum of charitable organizations
– every cent staying within
the community where it
was raised. Last year 51
charities hosted viewing parties for the 82nd
Academy Awards, raising
more than $3 million,
all of it remaining in
local communities.
With a record 17,497
guests attending
nationwide, ONA 2010
benefitted such charities
as the American Red Cross, Ronald
McDonald House, Special Olympics, the
United Way, Starlight Children’s Foundation and the Ellie Fund (breast cancer
support services).

New and Future DVD Releases
The Next Three Days
(Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)
This title will be released on March 8, 2011
Life seems perfect for John Brennan until
his wife, Lara, is arrested for a murder she
says she didn’t commit. Three years into her
sentence, John is
struggling to hold
his family together,
raising their son and
teaching at college
while he pursues
every means available to prove her
innocence. With the
rejection of their
final appeal, Lara
becomes suicidal
and John decides
there is only one possible, bearable solution: to
break his wife out of prison. Refusing to be deterred by impossible odds or his own inexperience, John devises an elaborate escape plot and
plunges into a dangerous and unfamiliar world,
ultimately risking everything for the woman he
loves. Lionsgate presents a Hwy 61 Films / Lionsgate production. The Next Three Days stars
Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Brian Dennehy, Olivia Wilde and Liam Neeson, and is
directed by Paul Haggis from a screenplay by
Paul Haggis. The Next Three Days is produced
by Michael Nozik and Paul Haggis, and Olivier Delbosc and Marc Missonnier.
Burlesque [Blu-ray]
This title will be released on March 1, 2011.
There is,
according to Burlesque, a nightclub
on the Sunset Strip
that looks like a
blend of Cabaret and Moulin
Rouge and employs
a full contingent of
dancers and musicians in the service
of a neo-retroburlesque-blues
program. Presiding over the craziness within
is Tess, a grande dame who also performs
occasionally and who could only, under these
circumstances, be played by Cher. Entering the
scene is a young leather-lunged hopeful from
Iowa named Ali, played by Christina Aguilera
in her movie-acting debut. Aguilera,
needless to say, belts out her songs
as only someone with a very large
voice can, and Cher stops the show
with an old-fashioned torch song
(“You Haven’t Seen the Last of
Me”) that is clearly designed as a
roof-raiser.
Les Miserables:
The 25th Anniversary Concert
This title will be released on February 22,
2011.
Experience the
event of a lifetime
with this spectacular
25th anniversary celebration of one of the
most popular musicals
ever written, Les Misérables. Honoring 25
years of this incredible show, this momentous film captures
the excitement of two
magnificent sold-out
performances that were watched live around
the world. With a phenomenal all-star cast,
including pop star Nick Jonas (Jonas Brothers),
Tony® Award winner Lea Salonga (the voice
of Disney’s Mulan and Princess Jasmine), and
over 500 additional artists and musicians, revel
in the songs of the unforgettable characters as
they struggle for redemption and revolution.
Hereafter
(Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)
This title will be released on March 15, 2011.
Genre master Clint Eastwood tries
something different with the
languid, introspective Hereafter-and succeeds. All
of the characters
at the heart of
Peter Morgan’s
screenplay, which
has the feel of a
European art film,
have suffered a
loss or survived
an ordeal. They
feel disconnected from those who can’t relate,
which is most everybody. George (Matt Damon) is a blue-collar American with a special
connection to the afterlife dating from his
childhood. French journalist Marie (Cécile de
France) has a near-death experience that shakes
her reality. And when London schoolboy
Marcus (Frankie and George McLaren) loses
the person closest to him, he desperately needs
answers. Each seeking the truth, their lives will
intersect, forever changed by what they believe
might – or must – exist in the
hereafter.

Winter is a Great Time to Explore Red Wines
o break a case of cabin fever, late winter
is always a good time to think about
exploring red varietals. Although we
are a cool climate region and are best known
for our whites, we do produce some interesting
and noteworthy red wines. And this is the time
of year to look at the lovely, easy to enjoy reds
our vineyards do yield – and then perhaps take
the time to explore other regions’ wines too.
Chambourcin: is the French-American
hybrid which was one of first widely planted
‘new generation’ of red wine grapes introduced
to the region in the early 1980’s. Its European heritage dates to the prior century when
French researchers were working to combat
the devastating phyloxxera infestation that
was destroying that nation’s vines. It is still
widely planted in France and served in bistros
across the country as a
vin ordinaire. Here in the
US, dozens of winemakers east of the Mississippi produce a lovely,
light and pleasant red
that matches nearly any
food offering. Several
Ohio wineries have won
‘gold’ for their work with
Chambourcin.
Merlot: its name is
derived from the French
word for ‘blackbird’ and
is regarded as the premier
varietal by many from
Long Island. It is generally finished in a soft
style and can be consumed much ‘younger’
than some of its cabernet
cousins. It tends to bud
quickly so that during
a warm spring, which might be followed by
a cold snap, frost is a substantial concern. It
also is quite winter-tender so must be grown in
Ohio only in the most protected vineyard sites.
Cabernet Sauvignon: the most respected
of all the red varieties. It is grown around the
world, but accounts for most of the great reds
of Bordeaux and California. It takes an inordinately long growing season to fully mature,
so in many Ohio vineyards, ripening to intense
color levels and full maturity are sometimes
difficult task. This amazing growing season
for Grand River and Conneaut Creek districts
during the vintage of 2010 seems to be the
exception. There should be some wonderful
local Cab Sauvs coming to the market place
beginning in late 2011 or early 2012.
Cabernet Franc: although less revered than
Cabernet Sauvignon, this grape is still widely
T
planted in some of the world’s finest growing
districts. It ripens much earlier than its cousin
and generally requires less cellar time to reach
drinkability. It can withstand more severe
winter temperatures too. In a finished wine, it
produces a spicy aroma and has a more grassy
[vs. floral] nose than some other reds. In some
places, including northeast Ohio, given appropriate growing conditions, it produces some
lovely, lovely Rose’ wines.
Pinot Noir: the cool climate, finicky and
shy bearer has helped build the reputation of
Oregon as a world class growing region. It is
often described as ‘elusive’ and ‘difficult.’ But
fortunately for our region, local winegrowers have been working in their vineyards and
in the cellars to match the challenge offered
by this varietal. Its nose often offers hints of
raspberries and other
red fruits. Several of
our wineries have won
major national medals for
grapes grown and vinted
here in the Grand River
Valley.
Malbec: one of Argentina’s ‘stars.’ It is a wine
that has developed a huge
and loyal following in
recent years. While it
is also grown in France,
much of the current
‘buzz’ comes from the
Argentina’s vineyards.
In some parts of the
world it is known as
Auxerrois. Its deep, dark
bunches produce a full
bodied wine with lots of
tannins and rich color.
Carmenere: popular
labels come from Chile, although it is also
widely planted in France’s Medoc region.
It is sometimes mistaken for Merlot, but is
actually related to the Cabernet family of
wines. Its name is derived for a French word
for crimson because in the fall, its leaves turn
brilliantly colored, much like the autumn reds
and oranges of our autumn hardwoods. It
yields a deep red wine with softer tannin than
a cabernet. This ‘drinkability’ factor makes it
popular with those just exploring the complexities of red wines.
So many wines, so little space: there are
dozens of other reds to explore: At your next
visit to the wine aisle in the grocery store, select a red you’ve never tasted and expand your
palate, just for fun.

JeffNewBeck:
Rock ‘N’ Roll Party Honoring Les Paul
DVD Release on Feb 22 By Eagle Rock Entertainment
An intimate performance with special guests at the 200 seat Iridium Jazz Club
By Jim Ales
B
A
eff Beck will be the first to say he would
not be where he is today had it not been
for Les Paul. The first time he heard Les
Paul play was in 1950 when he was six year
s old listening to the radio. He noticed an
unusual twanging sound in the guitar. He asked
his mother how that sound was made, and
she told him it’s done with tricks. He thought
“wow… fantastic!” From that moment on, Les
Paul’s name and guitar sound was imbedded in
his head.
Then when he started hearing rock n’ roll,
he noticed a similarity in the sound of the guitars with the trebly, snap and slap back echo.
“It was used on voices, guitars, drums, everything. It was all Les Paul’s inventions,” Beck
explains. Then in 1956, Jeff’s older sister was
bringing home more and more rock’ n roll
albums for him to listen to. “It was a welcomed
J
8
relief from what other music was available at
the time.” he said.
Beck and a host of special guests paid
homage to the musical icon at the very club
where he performed every Monday night.
Rockabilly songstress Imelda May and her
band, led by Darrel Higham, as well as Gary
US Bonds, Brian Setzer and Trombone Shorty,
join Beck on many of the tracks. This collection of talent, performing in the clubs intimate
setting, truly captures the spirit of Les Paul’s
weekly gigs, and the DVD puts the viewer
right there in the audience for a showcase of
stunning musicianship and truly great songs.
Beck first met Les Paul in 1980 when Billy
Squire was doing a show at Perkins Palace in
Pasadena. Jeff got a phone call saying, “Would
you like to do a duet with Les Paul?” He exclaims, “What? Where’s the plane? Let’s go!”
When he arrived at the hotel in Pasadena,
Paul call him in the lobby and goes, “What are
you doing down there? The tea and cakes and
sandwiches are up here.” Beck thought it was
a hoax. But when he went up to the hotel room,
there he was. “It was amazing. I felt like a stupid idiot. And the tea things were all set up like
he said. His secret proto-type white ‘Les Paul’
guitar with the swan neck microphone attached
to it was lying on the bed. ”
They were to play two songs but did not
know which ones. Les didn’t know anything
about Jeff. When he watched Jeff play, he
ripped Jeff’s chord out of his guitar. Their performance is on the Bonus feature of the DVD.
They played a couple more songs after that and
become good friends.
Jeff wanted to do something for Les before
he died to show what an inspiration he had
been. But it wasn’t until after Les passed that
Jeff decided to show how much he admired
and respected Les. Jeff went to his manager
and said “Look, why don’t we just go to the
Iridium and put something together?” Les
played at the Iridium Jazz club for years. It
was then scheduled on Les’s would-be 95th
birthday.
Playing an hour and half of all of Les
Paul music would have been brutal Jeff claims,
because he couldn’t learn all those songs in
that short period of time. “We decided to do
eight of the most important of his songs that
showed his style.” The other songs he chose
are rock ‘n roll classics of that era that he felt
clearly had a big chunk of Les’s influence.
“That’s what I would have played to him had
he still been alive.”
Jeff favorite song from Les is How High The
Moon.“It’s got a fabulous solo in it, and it’s
just jumpy and vibrant. I think it was sort of
his signature tune. For 1950, we needed that.”
Guest vocalist Imelda May’s voice offers
the most fitting renditions of Mary Ford’s classics. When Jeff saw a picture of Imelda in front
of a club in London where she was performing, he was blown away by how 1950’s it
looked as well as how she sounded. He knew
her husband from a band he did an album
with and invited them to a dinner party at his
house. They played till the early hours in the
morning and it came together quite naturally.
“She’s wonderful. Not a bad vibe about her.
She’s positive and all that,” Beck expresses.
Other guests include Brian Setzer, who
Jeff made friends with in the 1982 when he
saw the Stray Cats perform. Gary US Bonds
was playing around the corner and Jeff invited him to play Down to New Orleans and
he accepted.
Rock ‘N’ Roll Party Honoring Les Paul
includes the classics Bye Bye Blues, Sitting
On Top Of The World, Mockin’ Bird Hill,
Peter Gunn, How High The Moon, Sleep
Walk, Walking In The Sand, and many more!
In addition to the music, the DVD contains a
host of bonus features: An interview with Jeff
Beck, Behind The Scenes - “At home with Jeff
Beck & his guitars”, “Jeff Beck & Les Paul
– Rock ‘n’ Roll Tonite” and “Les Paul & his
little black box.”
Jeff Beck will take this party on the road
with Imelda May and her band for a spring
tour. For more information about the DVD and
tour visit www.kayosproductions.com.

Cleveland Jazz Orchestra
PlayhouseSquare
PlayhouseSquare, in downtown Cleveland
is more than just a tourist destination, it is a
not-for-profit organization that has become
a national leader in arts education as well as
Northeast Ohio’s home for touring Broadway
shows, concerts, comedy, opera, dance and
children’s programming.
PlayhouseSquare is the “world’s largest
theater restoration project,” and the country’s
largest performing arts center outside New
York City (eclipsed only by Lincoln Center).
Originally there were five venues, The
Ohio, Palace, State, Allen and Hanna Theaters,
which were constructed in the 1920s in a mere
19 months. By 1969, all but the Hanna had
been boarded up, as entertainment, along with
the population had moved to the suburbs.
Thankfully, in the 1970s, a grass-roots
effort saved the historic venues from the
wrecking ball, restoring and re-opening the
theaters one by one, ushering in a new era of
downtown revitalization, which was heralded
by the media as “one of the top 10 successes in
Cleveland history.”
Today, PlayhoseSquare encompasses nine
performance spaces, which include the Palace,
State, Ohio, Allen, Hanna and 14th Street
Theatres, as well as Kennedy’s Cabaret, the
Westfield Insurance Studio Theatre and Star
Plaza.
This month, PlayhouseSquare welcomes,
The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, which played its
first concert May 20, 1984 at the old Peabody’s
DownUnder, in the Flats. Since these early
years the group has slowly, steadily grown to
become one of the most highly regarded jazz
organizations in the country and the pride of
the Cleveland Jazz community. Be sure to
catch the CJO, under the direction of Sean
Jones, at PlayhouseSquare and you can see for
yourself that the arts are indeed alive and well
in Cleveland. Check out www.clevelandjazz.

Rock and Roll’s Most Talented Women
Through the Eras
Photographs by Anastasia Pantsios
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and
Museum unveiled its latest exhibit, Girls on
Film: 40 Years of Women in Rock, on Monday,
February 14. The exhibit, featuring images
by photographer Anastasia Pantsios, offers a
snapshot into the world of some of the most
influential women in rock and roll over the last
four decades.
When Anastasia Pantsios photographed
her first concert — a free concert by Jefferson Airplane in Chicago’s Grant Park in
1969 — women were a rarity in rock bands.
At the same time, women were trying to elbow
their way into the burgeoning ranks of rock
photographers, led by Rolling Stone’s Annie
Leibovitz. In Cleveland, Pantsios was one
of three women who formed Kaleyediscope
Photography in 1978 to market the photos they
were shooting of musicians. As women became
more numerous and prominent on rock and
roll stages in the Eighties and beyond, Pantsios
developed a special interest in the visual study
of the changing and diverse ways they presented themselves while making music. “Girls
on Film” covers her 40 years of shooting
rock’s talented women, starting with Jefferson
Airplane’s Grace Slick and continuing through
contemporary star Gwen Stefani.
Highlights from the exhibit include:
· Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane, Grant
Park, Chicago: May 1969
The first concert Pantsios photographed was
this free daytime show in Chicago’s Grant Park
— pre-Woodstock, very pre-Altamont, and everything idyllic and rife with possibility. LateSixties, early-Seventies rock wasn’t very open
to women, and the few out there tended to fall
into two slots: pristine, long-haired folkie girl
or belting blues mama. Grace Slick was neither
of those — the most singular female personality of the era.
· Patti Smith, Agency Recording, Cleveland:
January 27, 1976
This photograph was shot by Pantsios at
Agency Recording, upstairs from the old Agora
in Cleveland on East 24th Street. In this photo,
Patti Smith is listening to a playback after a
show. Her version of the Who’s “My Generation” from this show appeared on the B-side of
her single “Gloria” later in 1976.
· Joan Jett, Music Hall, Cleveland: April 10,
1982
Joan Jett emerged from the ashes of the
Runaways to have a brief burst of solo success
in the early Eighties. She didn’t rely on sex
appeal and blended in with her band, and often
she was cited as a touchstone by the riot-grrrl
bands of the Nineties.
· Tina Turner, Blossom Music Center,
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio: June 18, 1984
Few breakthroughs of the Eighties were more
surprising than the grand-scale comeback of
Tina Turner when her 1984 album, Private
Dancer, vaulted her to superstardom. Known
from the Ike and Tina days as a hot live
performer, she was arguably more prepared
than anyone who ever enjoyed such meteoric
success to command headlining slots in arenas
like Richfield Coliseum and amphitheaters like
Blossom Music Center.
About Anastasia Pantsios
Anastasia Pantsios’ casual interest in photography became a driving passion while she was
at Case Western Reserve University pursuing a
degree in theater in the early ’70s with the goal
of being a lighting designer. While shooting
theater productions for the CWRU newspaper,
she started toting her camera to concerts downtown at Public Hall by groups like Led Zeppelin, the Who, and Crosby Stills and Nash.
Publication in local underground papers
led to her work appearing in national publications like Cream, Circus and Hit Parader. In
1978, she started Kaleyediscope Photography
with two other women photographers to market their work. They felt that forming a company would help them overcome the tendency to
regard women rock photographers as groupies.
Kaleyediscope existed until the mid-’80s when
the founders’ interests took them in different
directions. But it springboarded Pantsios to a
productive decade when her work appeared
nationally and internationally in publications
like Rolling Stone, Spin, the Village Voice, Esquire, the National Enquirer, Goldmine, Guitar
World, USA Today and People; and in books
on Van Halen, Cyndi Lauper, Culture Club,
Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Motley
Crue, David Bowie, the Pretenders, U2,
Judas Priest, the Plasmatics, Scorpions, Todd
Rundgren, Joe Walsh and Eric Clapton; as well
as general-interest rock books, like Norm N.
Nite’s Rock On Almanac.
In addition, her work has appeared on
album covers for Eric Clapton, Southside
Johnny, Patti LaBelle, Kathy Mattea, AC/
DC, Styx, Kurtis Blow and Robert Palmer,
among others. She has done numerous gallery
shows in Cleveland and recently curated Visual
Music: Northeast Ohio Photographers Look at
Rock and Roll at the We Gallery in Akron.
Girls on Film: 40 Years of Women in Rock,
will close on September 5, 2011.

By Cat Lilly
Denise LaSalle
O
n Saturday, March 5th, a veritable
“Who’s Who” list of blues performers will roll
into town to grace
the stage at the fourth
annual Cleveland
Blues Festival at the
Playhouse Square’s
State Theater. The
one-night-only event
will spotlight iconic
blues artists: Rock
Hall inductee Bobby
“Blue” Bland (“Little Boy Blue,” “Turn
on Your Love Light,”)
Floyd Taylor, son of
Johnnie Taylor, Sir
Charles Jones, the
Ohio-born, Alabamaraised “King of
Southern Soul,”
Theodis Ealey, critically acclaimed blues
and hip-hop artist, and Clarence Carter (best
known for hits “Slip Away,” “Strokin”.)
Last but not least, the “Queen of Soul
Blues,” recent Blues Hall of Fame inductee
Denise LaSalle (“Trapped By a Thing Called
Love, “Down Home Blues.”) Unlike many
other blues vocalists who just reinterpret
material given to them by songwriters, Denise
LaSalle started out as a seriously talented songwriter. Although her soul blues style has strong
urban contemporary overtones at times, it’s
best to think of LaSalle as a modern-day Bessie Smith, because that’s really what she is.
She carries on the tradition of the female blues
singer/songwriter. Like Bessie, she can write
a funny, sassy song (“Get Your Lie Straight,”
“Your Husband Is Cheatin’ On Us”) and deliver it with plenty of attitude on-stage, but she
can also address
a serious issue
with heartfelt,
intelligent lyrics
(“There’s No
Separation,”
“Equal Rights
Amendment”.)
Off-stage, LaSalle accommodates
all autograph
seekers and
gladly obliges
journalists (such
as myself) and
radio disc jock-
eys.
I have
been a fan
of Denise
LaSalle since
I first heard
her on one of
my dad’s old
records, titled
“The Rhythm
and the Blues.”
It was a double
compilation album from Malaco Records – a
great mix featuring artists like Jimmy Reed,
Johnnie Taylor, Little Milton, Albert King, Z.Z.
Hill, Bobby Bland, B.B. King, Dorothy Moore,
and a young Aretha Franklin, along with Ms.
LaSalle. Of course, I gravitated towards the
female singers in the collection, and listened
to them over and over again, especially Ms.
LaSalle’s two sassy, funky cuts, “Down Home
Blues” and “Wet Match”. The former I still
sing today and the later features hilarious,
tongue-in-cheek lyrics like: “Your love is like
tryin’ to light a fire with a wet match/ You
won’t even get a spark like that/ Braggin’ bout
how you can sweep me off my feet/ Couldn’t
even make me put a wrinkle in my sheet.”
Imagine my excitement when I actually
had the chance to interview Denise LaSalle
over the phone last week – I still have goose
bumps! The songstress is so gracious and
down-to-earth; from the moment I answered
the phone, it was like talking to an old friend!
Denise just came off an Ultimate Blues Cruise
during which she was surprised with an honorary induction into the Blues Hall of Fame.
After many years in the business, the lady has
paid her dues, and the induction was a touching tribute.
Ora Denise Allen was born July 16,
1939, and spent her early years on a plantation. At a very young age she started singing
in local churches around rural Leflore County.
At age eight, her parents moved to Belzoni, a
larger city, where they at one time lived across
the street from a juke joint, exposing her to the
popular music of the day. At fifteen, Denise
was already an accomplished writer and sold
stories to the magazines Tan and True Confessions. Soon after she began writing songs and
changed her professional name to “LaSalle”
because it “sounded French.”
Growing up, Denise listened to the
Grand Ole Opry radio broadcasts. LaSalle’s
early influences included Ruth Brown, Dinah
Washington, and LaVern
Baker, as well as bluesmen
Elmore James and Sonny
Boy Williamson, who
performed on radio programs broadcast from the
Easy Pay furniture store
downtown.
VOICE: From where did
you draw your inspiration?
LASALLE: I used to listen
to the radio as a kid. I
listened to it all – Nat King
Cole, Frank Sinatra, the
big bands, but I loved listening to the Grand
Old Opry – I fell in love with that country
music.
VOICE: There is a fine line between those
genres of country music, blues, and jazz,
and even swing.
LASALLE: Yes, there is. Country music is just
the white man’s blues, that’s all.
VOICE: In your songs, you tell a great
story. Where do you think that story-telling
ability came from?
LASALLE: Oh, that came straight out of
Mississippi – from my lifelong love of country
music.
LaSalle moved north to Chicago when
she was in her late teens and worked first at a
drycleaner’s, and then as a cake decorator at a
bakery owned by her godfather. She continued
to sing in church, working with gospel group
The Sacred Five. She attended popular shows
at the Regal Theatre, always returning home to
write songs. In her early twenties she landed a
job as a barmaid at Mixer’s Lounge, where she
got to know blues musicians and began show-
ing them her songs. One lucky day a Chess
Records executive, Billy “The Kid” Emerson,
stopped by at Mixer’s – after listening to one
of her songs, he took it down to Chess Records, and they liked it.
VOICE: How accurate do you think the
movie “Cadillac Records” was in depicting
the heyday of Chess Records?
LASALLE: Well, pretty accurate, I think, except there was a lot of people there who didn’t
get mentioned, especially the women, like Koko
Taylor, Mitty Collier, and Sugar Pie DeSanto.
VOICE: Yes, women many times don’t get
the recognition they deserve, do they? Tell
me about your experience at Chess.
LASALLE: Well, I came right out of the cotton and corn fields of Mississippi to Chicago.
Chess wanted me to sign a contract. They
wanted my song but they wanted me to sing it. I
had never sang alone before, only in the choir.
I was scared to sing alone and I was scared
to sign a contract. So I went out and bought a
book called “The Power of Positive Thinking,”
which changed my life. I read that book and it
did the trick – I went down there and signed
that contract. But they never really did record
me. I actually financed and recorded my first
record myself, with the help of bluesman Billy
Emerson. The tune was “A Love Reputation,”
recorded on Emerson’s Tarpon label, and
scored a minor hit around Chicago.
VOICE: I read somewhere that after the
record made some waves on local radio,
Chess stepped in and purchased the master
and took it to Europe. The blues has always
been more appreciated in Europe than here
in America. How do you feel about that?
LASALLE: “Just the other day I was watching this blues show out of England, The Right
Track, and there was this gal on there singing
one of my songs, and I thought, ‘That song
never made it out of Chicago! How’d that little
gal get a hold of that song?’”
In 1969 LaSalle and her then-husband
Bill Jones formed Crajon Enterprises, and her
composition “Get Your Lie Straight” was a
major hit for Bill Coday on the Crajon label.
Meanwhile, LaSalle continued to write and sit
in with blues musicians around the Chicago
clubs. She scored the first of many self-penned
hits for herself in 1971 with “Trapped by a
Thing Called Love,” which became her first
gold record. Next came national recognition
with Top Ten R&B singles “Now Run and Tell
That,” and “Man Sized Job,” and her records
continued to climb the charts. In 1979, her
song “Married, But Not to Each Other” was
covered by country star Barbara Mandrell and
became a big hit on country radio. The prolific
songstress also wrote songs for Z. Z. Hill, who
had a hit with her “(Someone Else Is) Steppin’
In,” as well as for Ann Peebles and Little Milton, whose recording of the LaSalle-Mack Rice
composition “Packed Up and Took My Man”
was recently sampled by rapper Ghostface
Killah.
LaSalle’s humorous and often provocative style on stage led to great success as a live
performer. The beautiful, voluptuous singer
was becoming infamous for her racy onstage
persona and extended, off-color “raps” on how
women should please their men and vice versa.
Her humorous titles alone are priceless: “Lick
It Before You Stick It,” “Dirty Old Woman,”
“Your Man and Your Best Friend,” “Ain’t No
Need of Getting Down on Clinton“.
In 1984 LaSalle recorded the first in a
long series of albums for Malaco Records, out
of Mississippi. Nine of her Malaco albums in
the 1980s and ‘90s sold well enough to make
the national charts, as did the single “My TuTu.” During this period LaSalle began to be
marketed as a “blues” rather than “R&B” artist. Denise has always pushed to keep the blues
alive, and in 1986 she founded the National
Association for the Preservation of the Blues
(NAPOB) to bring more attention to the “soul/
blues” style and to advocate for more blues on
radio, which resulted in blues shows, Blues
Hours, and Blues Days being broadcast on
most radio stations today.
In 1997 LaSalle left Malaco after her
husband, businessman and disc jockey James
“Super” Wolfe, Jr., joined the ministry. Denise
surprised the music world in 1999 with the
release of a gospel CD, “God’s Got My Back”,
on Angel in the Midst Records, a label owned
by her husband. The title tune became a number one favorite on gospel stations around the

country. Yet, the artist was disappointed that
she could not find work in the gospel arena.
Disillusioned, but still a fighter, Denise
returned to do what she knew would be a
safety zone: the blues. In 2000 she recorded a
double volume CD, “This Real Woman”, on
her own Ordena label. The collection, which
proved to be one of the most interesting and
colorful albums of her career, offered a little
of everything: blues, country, gospel and pop.
From the naughty to the nice, LaSalle proved
that she is comfortable in any arena.
Denise LaSalle made her Ecko Records
debut in 2002 with the red-hot CD, “Still the
Queen”. Just when everyone was thinking
that Denise was ready to retire or slow down
and that one of these newcomers would step
forward and take her place, Ms. LaSalle came
blasting her way back with “Hot Smoking
Guns.” The CD offers such powerful tunes as
“Unlovable Habits” and “Dirty Freaky Man,”
plus her touching, soul-stirring tune inspired
by 9-11-01, “There’s No Separation.”
VOICE: I want to ask about your song
“There’s No Separation,” the one you were
inspired to write in the aftermath of 9/11.
LASALLE: Well, all this talk about separation of church and state – that’s what that song
is about. There is no separation. Right after
the events of 9/11, I sat in front of my TV and
listened to the president pleading with the
American people to join him in prayer. My
mind reflected on the fact that just a few years
ago, the same government voted to take prayer
out of the schools, and remove all religious

Bringing Benatar Returns to The Cove
Saturday, February 19th, 2011,
with special guest Sound Check!
Bringing Benatar is Northeast Ohio’s
Premier Pat Benatar tribute band which began
as the brainchild of Michelle McDowell and
Lee Silvis. While playing together in a rock
cover band, they noticed the crowd reaction
to the Pat Benatar songs they were covering
with Michelle’s powerful vocals. In 2009 they
worked together to form Bringing Benatar as
a Pat Benatar only tribute band. Adding the
talents of Merle Silvis on drums, Kristin Kretzler on keys and spot on harmonies, a bassist
and a second guitarist, Bringing Benatar was
soon blazing the stages of Northeast Ohio and
Western PA. Late in 2010 a line up change was
made adding Bryan G. Morris on bass and having Kristin pick up 2nd guitar duties, Bringing
Benatar was quickly back out on the circuit.
The North Coast Voice stopped our busy pace
and gave a listen to Bringing Benatar a couple
months back and we were very impressed.
Thumbs up; highly recommend steppin out for
this gig.

place and
purpose long associated with Sublime’s music,
Badfish, a tribute to Sublime has continued to
channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury. What
separates Badfish from other tribute bands is
that they have replicated Sublime’s essence,
developing a scene and a dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven,
mainstream acts.
Formed in 2001, Badfish has become
one of the biggest club and theater acts in the
Northeast and Midwest. Consistently selling
out many shows at
some of the
most prominent
venues throughout
the country, promoters continue
to be in awe that
a tribute band is
turning several hundred fans
away from the
doors each night.
Badfish is rivaling the biggest
tributes in the
music business
including Dark
Star Orchestra and Super
Diamond.
Badfish make their mark on the audience
by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They
perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but
as Badfish does. The attitude of Sublime cannot be faked, so Badfish doesn’t try – its own
tribute is one that works. What hits everyone
the most is the heart that these four musicians pour into their show. These technically
skilled players sound just like Sublime, and
some fans say that Badfish’s live show is the
most fun they’ve ever had attending one.
Scotty Don’t
Scotty Don’t was an idea conceived
by the veteran rockers of Badfish. Scotty
Don’t has shown off their original material
in support of Badfish since 2006 and is
back with some highly addictive reggae-tinged
alt-rock on their latest album, Songs from the
Back Porch, produced by Paul Leary (Sublime,
Meat Puppets and Reverend Horton Heat).
Over the past two years, Scotty Don’t has
performed for more than 150,000 music fans
nationwide and has distributed over 10,000
copies of their self-titled EP. Scotty Don’t is
now poised to deliver Songs from the Back
Porch to the masses via continuous nationwide
touring and select specialty and college radio
campaigns.
Scotty Don’t is more than a band, it’s a
concept derived from years of touring and
stewing creativity
that has finally
been wrangled
into one place.
The members
of the band are
loaded with road
tested form and
skill, and have
become adept at
whole-heartedly
launching the
next generation of
music fueled by
blood, soul, and an

Tropidelic
The often frigid Lake Erie shores would
appear to be an unlikely breeding ground for
the warm, funk-infused groove of reggaerockers Tropidelic, but as singer Matthew
Roads explains, this Cleveland-based band
is determined to crumble the walls of a genre
while stimulating a new generation of creative
minds. “In today’s reggae-rock scene, many
acts tend to fall in line,” Roads says. “We pride
ourselves on our musical diversity and do not
compromise what we do or who we are in
order to ‘fit the mold.’” That approach recently
earned Tropidelic the title of Best Cleveland
Area Band from Fox 8’s Hotlist, but Roads and
his bandmates have their sights set even higher.
After first teaming with some college
friends in 2006 and two years later releasing
Tree City Exodus and Rebirth of The Dope,
Roads overhauled Tropidelic’s lineup in 2009
and released Erie Vibes & Irie Tides the following winter. Next came the band’s fourth
EP, Working Class Phoenix, a collection of six
songs that “symbolizes the rise of our country’s lost and disregarded generation,” explains
Roads. “In today’s environment,” he continues,
“everyday life can be hard on the young poor
or middle class adult. We want to highlight
the positivity that can be generated by taking
a broader look at your life situation as well
as examining the reality of our economic and
social climate.”
Tropidelic has been sharing that positive
vibe with its growing legion of fans for years,
playing at events like Vans Warped Tour, the
Florida Music Festival and the Midpoint Music
Festival while performing with the likes of

Tropidelic’s eclectic party sound has been featured on 96.5 KISS, 92.3 WKRK, 88.9 WSTB,

As Tropidelic looks to branch out from
their Midwest roots and reach a larger national
demographic, they take pride in the fact that
they’re one of the few regional bands to experience sustained success in the reggae-rock
genre. But they refuse to take that for granted,
and instead welcome the responsibility that
comes with their achievements. “We are now
seeing a surge in young groups forming in this
hybrid genre and we do everything we can
to help these bands and harvest this movement,” Roads says. “No matter how far our
music strays from traditional roots reggae, we
maintain the ideals of love and unity and do
everything in our power to advance the music,
not just our group. Join us, young reggae
soldiers!”

T
he Winegrowers of the Grand River
Valley Wine Region are excited to announce their eighth annual Ice Wine
Festival slated for March 5th, 12th, and
19th. The festival consists of 5 area wineries all within a 10-minute drive of each other.
Patrons begin at the winery of their choice
for this fun, progressive Ice Wine tasting
all throughout the Grand River Valley wine
region. Participating wineries welcoming
16
you to their Eighth Annual Ice Wine Festival
include: Debonne Vineyards, Ferrante Winery
& Ristorante, Grand River Cellars, Laurello
Vineyards, and St. Joseph Vineyards.
Nick Ferrante, owner of Ferrante Winery
and Ristorante and chairman of the organization talks about the extended weekend. “Each
year this festival has grown in popularity due
to the quality product that is being offered to
the consumer. We are fortunate to be able to
grow internationally award winning ice wines
right here in Northeastern Ohio. As a group
we decided to add an additional day to the
festival in hopes of better accommodating all
those that attend.”
The Grand River Valley in Northeast Ohio
- it’s a little piece of viticultural heaven-onearth formed thousands of years ago when glaciers carved out the Great Lakes and deposited
a ridge of fertile soil ideal for the cultivation of
vineyards. The gently rolling landscape of the Grand
River Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) benefits
from a climate moderated
by the thermal effects of a
large body of water, in this
case, Lake Erie to the north.
The Valley’s contours promote the effective
circulation of warmer air, reducing the threat
of frost in the spring and extending the growing season so the grapes are able to ripen to
perfection.
Ice Wine is a labor of love in the wine
industry and one that the Grand River Valley
Wineries believe is worth celebrating. “This
year the ice wine harvest saw the harshest
conditions,” says Tony Debevc of Debonné
Cindy Lindberg of Grand
River Cellars helping
to gather the golden
bunches
APPETIZER MENU & EVENTS INCLUDE:
DEBONNE’ VINEYARDS
Appetizer: Adams Reserve Sharp Cheddar served with Homemade Peach Jam & Crushed Walnuts
Also featuring Ice Carving at 12 p.m.
Sled Dog Demonstration • Ice Wine Martini Bar (small additional fee)

Vineyards. “A blizzard blew into the
region, temperatures dropped and
the picking crews
were called in. The
wines featured
at the Ice Wine
Festival are ‘true’
ice wines. The grapes are left on the vines at
the end of the traditional harvest season and
await Mother Nature to shift seasons from fall
to winter. Once the grapes are truly frozen,
reaching temperatures below 17 degrees, the
grapes are picked and pressed immediately
before they have a chance to thaw.” After a 24
hour settling period, the clear juice is racked
into stainless steel tanks then inoculated
with yeast. A slow cool fermentation helps
maintain the unique intense fruit flavors we try
to achieve. The finished wine is racked, finned
and filtered to maintain these qualities.
What is so unique about this festival is that
it isn’t held at just one facility. Patrons have
the opportunity to explore the Grand River
Valley Wine Region at 5 separate locations
giving them a very well rounded experience.
“Each of the five wineries are very different,”
says Kim Laurello from Laurello Vineyards.
Because of this, participants will have a unique
experience at each of them and different
activities are offered at each location,” she
adds. Some of the extras include special wine
dinners, ice carving, dog sledding, cooking
demonstration, and several artisans. Most of
these “extras” are free but some will cost the
patron a little extra. In addition, many of the
winemakers will be on hand for people to talk
to and other wines will be available for people
to taste.”
Out of town guests will surely want
to check the winegrowers website for a list
of lodging packages that were put together
specifically for the Ice Wine Festival. Since the
Ice Wine Festival is in March many of our hotels and restaurants are able to give top-notch
service because it is a slower time of year and
they are able to offer wonderful amenities and
are much less crowded.
Participants will need to determine a starting point at one of the participating wineries in
the Grand River Valley. Each winery will then
provide a sample of their wines, along with a
complimentary appetizer. The event begins
at noon and ends at 5 p.m. The cost is $5 per
person at each winery. In an effort to help the
local food banks, the wineries are encouraging everyone to bring in canned food items in
which they will receive $1 off at each location.

o how fast are you really connected to
the internet?
For example, your internet provider says
you can download at 6 megabytes per second
(6mps or 6000kps). There are several websites
to check your internet connection speed.
A very easy to use website I found is testmyspeed.com. Verifying your speed can help
you determine if your computer is running
slow because it is affected by your internet
connection or just having too many things
running in the background on your pc. In addition it helps you determine if you are paying
for the speed your internet provider says you
should have. Currently my speed is 12mps and
internet surfing is quick. So check yours out.
S
So what is an ip address and can I change
mine? Internet Protocol (IP) is assigned by
your internet service provider (isp) to connect
to the internet and consists of four groups of
numbers for example, 123.456.78.90. When
you sign up for internet access you
give information to your isp about your
location, log-on name, e-mail account,
etc. which allows you to connect and
surf the internet. Well guess what, that
information can be used by spammers to
send you e-mail. Even as you surf the
internet and click websites, your ip
address identifies you, also allowing
advertisers and such to send e-mail
to you regarding some website you
visited. Recently my wife and I purchased a
newer vehicle and used the internet to check
models and pricing. Sure enough my e-mail
account was loaded with loan info and car
dealers. Wow, is that cool or a bunch of bs? If
you’re curious about your address just google
“what is my ip address” and you will find
many sites that show your unique address
as well as the city you signed up for the
internet. If you change internet providers, you moved, new address.
Ever wonder who invented the pc
mouse and why they called it a mouse?
The computer mouse as we know it
today was invented and developed by
Douglas Englebart during the 60’s and
was eventually patented in 1970. While
creating the mouse, Douglas was working at the Stanford Research Institute,
a think tank sponsored by Stanford
University, and originally referred to
the mouse as an “X-Y Position Indicator for
a display system”. This mouse was first used
with the Xerox Alto computer system in 1973.
The first widely used mouse is credited to the
mouse used on the Apple Lisa computer shown
here: (picture from Google).
The picture shown of the original
mouse (circa 1964) is credited to The
New Mexico Museum of Natural
History and Science and courtesy of
Google. This is an example of what
the first computer mouse looked like.
Notice the tail?
Thanks for your pc interest and drop
me an email if you ponder a pc question or curiousity at byteram@yahoo.

hat exciting and amazing times we
are living in! We are in a time in this
Human Existence that is unprecedented and profound beyond anything that we
as Humans could ever imagine. I would like
to share some the connections I have made
in my Quest for learning and the studying of
Metaphysics.
I began reading Astrology books when I
was 9 years old. Linda Goodman’s Love Signs
was my Bible and I engrossed myself in that
book in my Teens and continue to grab that
book even today. I must say that I am by no
means an Astrologer or even close to it even
at this point in my life. What fascinated me
most about Astrology were the Zodiac Signs
themselves and the Characteristics of each of
them and how they related to one another elementally. I always wanted to know what sign
you were! I began to associate personalities to
the zodiac sign and had felt I gained a much
broader perspective of the people I encountered. I wanted to know in groups of friends
and work situations to better understand the
dynamics that would take place from the coming together of these individuals. It has been
a very valuable tool in my life and has always
been quite a bit of fun. I feel that Astrology is
the fuel behind my own desire to learn about
everything they do not teach one in school. I
had a hard time in school for many reasons.
I loved to read and I really enjoyed Science
but struggled horribly in math. Needless to
say I never enjoyed school and set out to learn
everything I could about things
people couldn’t really argue with
me about.
Owning The Silver Branch for
the last 7 years has opened
many doors for me and has
given me the opportunity to
talk and to learn even more
about all those things that I
have been passionate about
with some very incredible and
well informed individuals in the
field of Metaphysics and Science. I
am blessed and very grateful for being
able to do the work that I do. Something
that really fascinates me and something I have
learned to use is Sacred Geometry.
Everything that exists here in the 3rd Dimension has a Sacred Geometry blueprint. We
can see this everywhere we look. Especially in
nature and in the Universe itself as Galaxies
are created in a Spin pattern. Scientist Nassim
Haramein founder of the Resonance Project
explains this Spin with the creation of the
Universe and our role in the creation and Evolution of the Universe itself. He does it such a
way that the layman and any Physics Enthusiast can understand so I highly recommend his
work as it has been very influential in my life
as I feel I am able to access information from
the Higher Dimensions, the ability to do so has
also come from years of study and interest in
these Esoteric and New Age Ideals, which are
many. I like to say that I know a little bit about
a lot of different things.
In using Sacred Geometry and being
aware of these beautiful natural occurring
patterns that exist all around us can be a
very powerful tool in raising our own
Consciousness, personal evolution and
manifesting what we need to live a
more peaceful life and seeing the interconnectedness that exists between
all of us and all of the Universe.
The 5 Platonic Solids and the
Elements they represent: Cube =
Earth, Tetrahedron = Fire, Icosahedron
= Water, Octahedron = Air and the 5th
Dodecahedron = Ether (The Universe).
When the 4 elements are balanced together Ether is always present.
This brings me to 2012. I have been
studying 2012 for 14 years. I was first turned
on to the Galactic Alignment by reading an
article by Carlos Barrios, a Mayan Priest and
Elder of the
Guatemalan
Elders Council. Mr.
Barrios says that on December 21st of 2012 all
the Planets in the solar system will align in the
center of the galaxy, the Milky Way, at which
time energy will sweep over the planet cleansing it. What this element is, Is the long over
looked Fifth Element Ether. So what is Ether?
Well it can be no less a form than anything
else… It is that which Manifests… It is the
Power behind Prayer…. It is Intention!
Without getting too much into the Mayan
Prophesy, the Grand Planetary Alignment that
happens on December 21st of 2012 is just that,
a Grand Planetary Alignment where the Sun
will be directly over the Galactic Center. There
is much more about the End of this Mayan Calendar and
it is presenting
itself to us daily. Every Eclipse over the last
few years, The Solstices and Equinoxes are
all gates and are preparing us for the Radical
Shift in consciousness that we most definitely
will all experience and it is So Exciting! We
are ending a 26,000 year cycle so no one really knows what will happen. Everything is in
Divine Order and the outcome, no matter what,
is assuredly Good!
We can feel it happening and there is
definitely enough information about what a lot
people feel we are experiencing in these
times as well as a
lot of Scientific
information as well
as the wonderful insurgence of new information about Who
we Are and Where
we Come from. Never
before have we seen
the desire for this kind
of Knowledge and it is
presenting itself to us
right now. We see the
confirmation of this all
the time. Over the last
few years’ movies
like “What the Bleep Do We Know?” and
“The Secret” and Dr. Masaru Emoto’s Water
Experiments. People are awakening to the fact
that their thoughts are creating their experience. Thoughts are Things! Our Thoughts are
our Vibration, Our Vibration is our Frequency
and our Frequencies and the Frequencies of the
Planet and all of our Solar system are increasing. We are Responsible now for the Thoughts
we are thinking and how it is affecting our
bodies, our mental and emotional state and
even how it affects those around us.
Back in September we ended a 5200 year
cycle of Patriarchal Rule of Society and entered into a New Matriarchal Rule. This event
marks The Return of the Divine Feminine. This
time around there will be a Balance between
the Masculine and Feminine like never known
before. We have a responsibility in this shifting
awareness; we are seeing this in our personal
relationships, are we not? This fascinated me
and I wanted to know how we are going to do
it! The Energetic pattern of the Feminine is
like a spiral or a sphere, the mother, the womb.
The Energetic pattern of the Masculine is like
a Square or a latter, we see this in our Male
dominated society as men climb the corporate
latter, for example. My question was if these
Energetic Patterns were to merge and become
One, what would it look like? DNA? Sure,
but it just was not satisfying my interest in the
two becoming One. I felt the pattern should
be more “together”, so after many months of
contemplating this merger it came to me…
DODECAHEDRON! I love to say Dodecahedron and throw my arms above my head! It
was such an exciting revelation and I am sure
I awoke the Neighbors!
The recent announcement of Astronomer
Parke Kunkle that there is now a 13th Sign of
the Zodiac and that you always thought you
were is now “Not” your sign has raised a lot of
questions for a lot of people. For three days my
phone rang off the hook, people came in and
asked what sign they are… It was really Interesting Chaos! So I dove into it… I had heard
about this 13th Sign, it has always been there,
it is not new, I knew that elementally it represented Ether~ the “Etheric” Sign but I had not
seen much information on it and really did not
think much about it. But low and behold Ether
is once again presenting itself to everyone. The
good news is that Your Sign didn’t change at
all! Don’t believe or entertain any of that because there
is a good reason they don’t
want us to know the Truth.
Isn’t it also interesting that
one of the most feared
creatures on this planet is
the Snake? Think about it.
Here is my take on it.
What I have learned
is Ophiuchus is not in
The Wheel of the 12
Zodiac, He is the Hub of
the Wheel, Ophiuchus
governs all 12 Signs
just as Jesus had 12
Apostles. Ophiuchus
the Serpent Holder, represents The Great
Healer, The Transformer of Cosmic Awareness
bringing us to our Higher Mind representing
the full embodiment of our Enlightened God/
Goddess realized self. He is the Bridge of
Awareness and Higher Mind, Heart and Truth,
Cosmic Awareness and Cosmic Creation. The
Great Healer is Reconnecting and Supporting
us as we Shift toward 2012. The number 13
represents Birth, Regeneration and bringing in
Information. It also is associated with Death as
we must die to be reborn.
Ophiuchus is the constellation that is
between The Archer and the Scorpion. The
Archer (Sagittarius) points his arrow directly
to the Galactic Center, which is the Milky
Way, Ophiuchus lies directly over the Galactic
Center. The Serpent that Ophiuchus holds is
the bridge that will take us into the Higher
Awareness and we will be Enlightened to our
God/Goddess selves.
How perfect that this information has
come out to assist us in these very exciting
changes and shifts. What does it all mean? It
means that We are Creating the New World,
the New Heaven. It means that We need to
Ride the Snake back to the Garden of Eden.
I feel this is an opportunity, this signifies the
Truth of our existence here, the Truth of what
the Serpent represents, it is the symbol of
healing, and it is ancient teacher and exists everywhere in all cultures. This will take an evolution in our own consciousness; it will mean
that we will need to put away our fears and our
conditioning of the past so that we come face
to face with the Serpent that will carry us back
to The Garden of Eden.
Ether is ever present in our lives and our
Manifestations are happening quickly, for
some alarmingly so. Never before have we had
the need to use our discernment and open our
hearts and really feel a connection to Mother
Earth. It is all happening now so Be Peace, Be
Love and Be Here Now! It’s going to be One
Hell of a Ride!

ast week the topic was setting necks
on instruments. The “lute” that I had
repaired suffered from more than just a
neck set. The previous repairmen had lowered
the bridge in attempt to correct the high action
from the neck pulling forward. He or she had
actually ground down or sanded about 3/8” of
an inch off of the top of the bridge and added
the smallest bone saddle I have ever seen. This
lowered the action considerably, but left no
back angle from the saddle to the tailpiece.
This means that there was no downward string
pressure on the bridge, which you must have in
order to get the top to vibrate enough to create
good tone.
So now that I had set the neck at an angle
much greater than before, some height needed
to be added to the bridge so that it now could
have the proper break angle off of the back
of the saddle and it would drive the top with
much more tension than before. I chose a
piece of cherry which had a very close natural
color to the original bridge. The piece added
is only about 1/4 to 5/16 wide with a slot of
about 3/16 wide cut into it for the new (much
wider) bone saddle that I chose to put into it.
22
I started out with a
piece about 5/8 or
3/4 wide because it
was much easier to
run two passes on
my Dremel router
setup. With only a
1/8 inch bit to work
with I added a shim
to the fence on the
second pass to create the 3/16 wide
slot then carefully
sanded down each
side to get the final
thickness of wood
that was needed to
match the profile of
the existing bridge.
A piece of bone had
to be cut to fit very
tightly into the slot
and then tapered
at the top to create
a “compensated
saddle”. I will try to
explain the theory
of compensation
in another article.
There are many
articles that have
already been written
on the subject and
to be honest with
you it can be very
confusing to those of
us that aren’t mathematically inclined.
Anyway, after raising the height of the
bridge and saddle I
was able to conquer
two problems; the
first one was that
there was now the
back angle from the
saddle to the tailpiece that gave the
increased downward
string pressure that
is needed to drive
the tone from the
vibrating spruce top.
The other was that it
now had the proper
action needed to be

able to play in tune with the new neck angle.
If the “action is too high it is difficult to play
in tune the farther up the neck that you play.
The farther you have to press the string down
the sharper the note will become because the
remaining length of the string is now shorter
than it should be. This is difficult to understand
without having some knowledge of the theory
of “compensation”. After all of that I was very
happy with the final outcome of the playability and sound of the instrument. It feels good
to bring an old instrument back to playing
properly again. I can only hope that the repairs
last forever and hold true for the remaining life
of the lute.
There has been a steady stream of small
and different repairs lately. A couple tuning
machine replacements and fixing a crack in
the headstock. With this particular repair I
had to first separate the crack enough to work
the proper amount of glue in the crack so that
when clamped back together I would see a lot
of glue squeeze out. Always do a dry run with
the clamping procedures first .This insures
that when the glue is put in the repair you will
already be sure of the outcome will before
attempting the repair. If you start gluing things
up and are not ready with a proper clamping
procedure you will more than likely end up
with a bad glue job. Once the headstock was
reglued I noticed the new machine heads that
were being installed had larger stems than the
original holes in the headstock. It wasn’t a lot
of difference so I was able to use my violin
tapering tool to widen the hole. A few turns
from either side was enough to give the proper
sized opening to accept the new machine stem
and the collars that fit over and screw into the
machine head casing. I got lucky with screw
holes in the back because the old ones were
covered up with the new casings. This made it
very nice and tidy repair .We don’t always get
that lucky.
Well it is time for me to add another log on
the fire, so I bid you farewell and please “Stay
in Tune”
Thanks Again!

atching Cathy Miller play the viola,
one would think it was easy to do.
She makes it seem so effortless but
in truth, she has been playing the viola since
the age of nine and her magic fingers have
strummed hundreds of songs, harmonies and
melodies. “I like to play the viola because it is
supposed to emulate the sound of the human
voice as close as possible. I have always been
drawn to that,” said Cathy.
“Before I started playing the viola I had
always listened to country music on the radio
because that is what my dad liked. I didn’t
even realize at age nine that there were other
stations to listen to,” said Cathy. “When I
started playing viola, I started listening to
classical music and would then play it. Once
I got into my teens, around 14 or 15 is when I
realized there were a lot more styles of music.
I loved listening to Fairport Convention who
were from the UK and not really known too
well here in the US. I also listened to Jethro
Tull, Janis Joplin, Asleep at the Wheel, Willie
Nelson, Led Zeppelin and the sixties.”
Cathy’s talent and abilities brought experiences to sing with The Cleveland Orchestra
Children’s Choir when she was in
junior high. She played
the viola in the
orchestra
at her high
school and spent
four years with The
Cleveland Youth Orchestra.
She attended college at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. “I had auditioned
for several schools to cast the net wide for
more opportunities,” said Cathy. “During that
time I was studying with a gentleman from
the Cleveland Orchestra and when he found
out my hands were hurting he told me it was
because I wasn’t practicing enough. So when I
went to audition at Vanderbilt, they asked me
if my hands hurt. They told me it was because
of the way I was holding and playing the viola.
By the age of twenty, I already had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands so I am very lucky
to be able to pick up the viola again and play.
I guess I am an over achiever. The fact that I
can still play for as long as I want makes it all
worthwhile.”
There is a certain separation of sorts
between viola and violin players. “The people
that play viola are a certain kind of person,”
explains Cathy. “It seems those who play
violin are more involved with a pecking order.
There is an entire culture in the classical world
that can be brutal. It attacks your self-esteem
so you have to be extra resilient. You can beat
yourself up by telling yourself how horrible
you are. There are others who are also happy
to tell you the same thing. However, playing
the
viola,
we’re more laid
back but still driven.
Viola players are
kind of stuck in the
middle but that can
be a good thing. If
we weren’t there, then
people would notice
that something was
missing.”
These days Cathy
Miller works the music
magic with another
talented musician, Jim
Gill. They have a full
schedule of gigs and
compliment each other’s
musical talents
perfectly. “Jim
and I met in June of 2010 at The Winchester
in Lakewood which is a fantastic venue,” said
Cathy. “I was with the progressive rock band,
UZIZI. The band is great with great players but
it really wasn’t the direction I wanted to focus
on at the time. I wanted to work on things
that were a bit more within my comfort zone.
Anyway, our band had at least 17 members and
we took awhile for sound check. Once we were
done, it didn’t leave much time for Jim to do
his sound check. I felt bad about that.”
Watching Jim do his sound check seemed
to be a turning point for Cathy and her career.
“When he started singing and using the loop
device, I was completely captured by what
he was doing and listened to his entire set,”
recalls Cathy. “I was able to talk with him
after the show. He then asked me if I would
like to play with him at his gig the following
weekend. That is how it all started. It has been
such a blast. We’ve been playing together since
August and it keeps getting better.”
Their shows are a variety of music styles,
genres and sounds. “We play a lot of different
stuff,” said Cathy. “My favorites are playing
the originals that Jim has written. We do a wide
variety of covers that range from Jim Croce to
Neil Young. We also do a medley of various
artists. Someone once asked me what kind of
music we played. I’m not sure what name you
would give it, maybe acoustic folk rock. It’s so
different because we play music from Hendrix
to Springsteen plus original material. Sometimes we experiment with the looping device,
which is a neat way to make two people sound
like a whole lot more. Jim will still do solos
and I will do solos. It all works beautifully.”
Playing viola also has its therapeutic outlet
for Cathy. “It’s the best feeling. It’s a way to
express yourself, to sometimes purge your
emotions. It’s a great release. It doesn’t matter
the size of the venue because there is always
a surge of adrenalin. You never know what
is going to happen. The best part of playing
with Jim is that we are always listening to one
another no matter how loud the place may be.”
Having a supportive family around you is
another crucial element when devoting time to
the career you love. “Both Jim and I are very
fortunate to have spouses who support what we
do. It would be so much more difficult if there
weren’t that support because you have to spend
a lot of time away from home. It all takes time,
the rehearsals, practicing, travel, the gigs - but
it’s my work. A supportive family makes it
even more worthwhile.”
When asked what should people look for
or expect when they come to see she and Jim
play, Cathy said, “I would tell people to listen
to the lyrics. That would be my biggest recommendation. I would hope the music and the
lyrics would invoke listeners. Enjoy the overall
sound of what we are trying to create because
it’s worth it.”

VOICE: And did you write a song for Bob
Dylan once?
LASALLE: Yes, the name of that song is “If
I’m Only For Myself, Who’s Gonna Be There
For Me?” I sent it to Bob Dylan, and it came
back to me – addressee unknown. It is on my
“This Real Woman” double compilation CD,
the only one I ever produced myself and had
complete control over.
VOICE: Well, I am going to purchase that
CD on the internet, and listen to it as soon
as we hang up, because I want to hear your
music the way you wanted it to be.
LASALLE: And when you listen to that song,
try to imagine Bob Dylan singing it because I
wrote it especially for him.
In 2005 she released still another effort
on Ecko entitled “Wanted”. The first single
“Snap, Crackle and Pop” was a witty comeback at Theodis Ealey’s “Stand Up In It” and
all the other guys who claimed they know
exactly how to please a woman. Other hot
tunes that are commanding air play around the
country are “The Thrill Is On Again”, “Wanted

inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame just last
week is a huge honor.
In addition to her gold records, Denise
has won best R&B Female Vocalist, the Jackie
Award, the Living Blues Critic Award, and the
BMI award for number one hit records. She
has gained international recognition for her
extraordinary talents as a writer, singer and
producer. During her 34+ years in music, Denise has toured four continents and countless
countries, and performed on thirty-two Caribbean cruises. But she says she loves America
most of all--touring the Blues Festivals all
summer, working casinos and civic centers
as well as night clubs year round. Denise has
worked with some of the biggest names in the
business, as well as some newcomers. “There
are so many nice young great singers coming along today. It’s so good to know that our
music will always be around,” says the Queen
of Soul Blues.
Nowadays LaSalle makes Jackson,
Tennessee, her home. At seventy-one, Denise
is not just getting older, she’s getting better.
Time has not diminished her writing skills or
her voice. In 2008 she rejoined the Malaco
Records roster, and she is still going strong!
These young girls will just have to wait a little
longer because. . . The Queen is back sitting
high on her throne and make no mistake about
it . . . Denise LaSalle is her name!!
On Sunday 6th,
February 2011,
blues rock guitarist
Gary Moore died in
his sleep of a heart
attack while on holiday
in Spain. Moore was
from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and was
acknowledged as one
of the finest guitarists
that the British Isles has
ever produced. Gary
Moore’s career dated
back to the sixties,
and he graced the
line-ups of several
notable rock bands,
including Thin Lizzy
(“The Boys Are Back In Town”) and the Irish
group Skid Row. Over the years, he shared
the stage with such blues and rock luminaries
as B.B. King, Albert King, and Greg Lake,
and also maintained a highly successful solo
career.
Moore started performing at a young
age, having picked up a battered Framus
acoustic guitar at the age of eight. He got his
first quality guitar at the age of 14, learning to
play the right-handed instrument in the standard way despite being left-handed. His early
musical influences were artists such as Albert
King, Elvis Presley, the Shadows, and The
Beatles. Later, having seen Hendrix and John
Mayall’s Bluesbreakers in his hometown of
Belfast, his own style developed into a bluesrock sound that would be the dominant form
of his career in music.
Moore will probably be best remembered for his 1990 solo effort, Still Got the
Blues. He had a stormy relationship with
former Thin Lizzy bandmate, Phil Lynott, but
the two reunited to collaborate on two top
five singles in the early eighties - “Out in the
Fields” and “Parisienne Walkways.” (Lynott
died in 1986.)
Gary Moore is survived by four children: daughters Saoirse and Lily and sons Jack
and Gus. His family takes great comfort in the
fact he died of natural causes and was looking
forward to his holiday prior to recording a new
album. Gary was thrilled by the new guitars
he had just bought and was planning to play
shows throughout the world, later this year.

its sleeve, but even if it doesn’t measure up
to those predecessors, the film offers enough
thrills and action to keep sci-fi fans interested. It was supposed to be a simple birthday
weekend in Southern California. But when
sunrise arrives two hours early in the form
of a haunting light from an unknown source,
a group of friends watch in terror as people
across the city are drawn outside and swept
into massive alien ships that have blotted out
the L.A. skyline. From tankers to drones and
hydra-like extraterrestrials, the aliens are inescapable and seemingly indestructible. Now, it
will take every survival instinct the group has
to elude capture in this riveting, action-packed
sci-fi adventure starring Eric Balfour (The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Donald Faison
(“Scrubs”) and Scottie Thompson (Star Trek).

Here’s another of the lesser-known best
picture nominees. It’s a long shot, to be sure,
but there are two reasons it even made it to the
bloated list.
First the stars Annette Benning (Nic) and
Julianne Moore (Julie) are highly respected
actresses. Secondly someone wants to make
a political statement. It’s not an unheard of
idea from Hollywood (see Michael Moore or
Al Gore) and the purpose of this is to paint a
sympathetic picture of gay marriage and family. Fair enough.
Lest you think I’m some sort of right wing
zealot; I’m not.
I have no beef with gay marriage and figure
that any kind of love that gets you through
your life is fine with me.
The movie just isn’t very good and it’s the least
deserving of the ten to have been nominated.
It’s billed as a “smart sexy comedy” and it falls
short on every count.
Nic and Julie have a family, a teenage boy and
girl, via a sperm donor.
The kids track down donor Paul (Mark Ruffalo), an attractive but somewhat dim organic
gardener who becomes a part of the extended
family. This doesn’t sit well with Nic and she
becomes even less happy about the addition
when he and her partner Julie have an affair.
Aside from the lesbian factor there’s not much
about any of the characters that rises above
cliché especially the whining self absorbed
children.
If there is a moral gripe at all I’d say that any
parents should at least try harder to be discreet
about their lovemaking, especially those
episodes that include pornography, but again
that’s not why I didn’t like it.
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT merely suffers from a dearth of humor, empathy, and
charisma.

The reason I’m getting to this one
now is the latest marketing scheme
of the Academy. They’ve bowed to
commercial pressure to double the
number of best picture nominees to
get more, well, butts in the seats.
This one’s a murder suspense flick
set against the backdrop of the impoverished
Ozark Mountains, the struggling residents and
the perils of the crystal meth trade. Meth is a
pretty ugly addiction and takes an extreme toll
on everyone that comes in contact whether it’s
the makers to the end users, often one and the
same.
These ill effects are even more drastic when
mixed with stark poverty of the Ozarks.
Jessup Dolly is a recently freed meth head
who has gone missing soon after signing
over his homestead as bailment. Unless 17
year old daughter Ree (Jennifer Lawrence)
can track him down she, her addled mother
and two young siblings will lose everything.
Ree is being stonewalled and worse at every
step of her search by dad’s old cronies,
friends, family and the law. It seems everyone
is involved in some dark secret.
Though the story isn’t particularly new, I like
the concept of the backwoods a lot.
Besides the rather slow pace, my complaint is
something that often bothers me about accents
and dialect.
Maybe it’s my East Ohio roots, but it seems actors rarely catch a realistic Appalachian accent.
Here too the phrases seem to have come from
the vision of a writer than actual people.
At any rate it is offbeat enough to have won
praise at the Sundance festival and garnered a
best pic nomination.

127 hours
Fox Searchlight R 93 min
OK gang this one’s the last of the nominations and I caught it just under the wire.
To be honest I really didn’t want to see it at
all, but I’d mistakenly doubted director Danny
Boyle before with SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, and again the guy knows his stuff. (I
was gonna say “craft” but that phrase has
always sounded so damn pretentious…)
Anyway, there’s not much to the plot.
Aron Ralston (James Franco) is a thrill seeker
and a daredevil. He loves treacherous treks
up mountains and down ravines like I love
drinking at microbreweries. On one of these
excursions our cocky young protagonist winds
up stuck in a crack, his right arm pinioned immovably in the narrow chasm.
That’s it. He’ll be stuck there for, you guessed
it, one hundred and twenty seven long hours.
Can you say “claustrophobia?”
On top of that we know Ralston will eventually
escape as this tale is his own story.
So how in the hell do you hold an audiences
attention for an hour and a
half with basically one
shot? One might think
Boyle would need to fill most of the time with
flashback and side story but amazingly keeps
the focus nearly constantly on the subject at
hand. I was hooked after ten minutes.
Not since CUJO has there been a one-perspective feature as riveting as 127 HOURS and
Boyle has done an outstanding job keeping the
pace up. Franco does a hell of a job as well.

The Netflix Pick
I think Woody Allen’s ANNIE HALL is
one of the best most insightful romantic comedies ever made.
After its success the Woodman went a little
further into his own psyche with the black
and white MANHATTAN. Decades ago in the
theater I really didn’t like it.
So recently I found it online and decided to
give it another shot.
It seems the years, tears, and experience along
the rocky road to love provide an insight necessary to get it, if not love it.
Not as accessible as ANNIE, this one branches
out into some kinkier areas of Allen’s relationships. It’s a little weird but still brilliant even
if it lacks the accessibility of his other lighter
works.

Best Picture 2011
So maybe it’s the popcorn lobby that’s
prompt ed the academy to dredge up ten
nominees, who knows.
At any rate in my
humble opinion there are
rarely five that even come
close to Oscar status and
ten waters down the pool
too much. I could actually
go along with a system
more like the Golden
Globes and separate the
comedies and or animation that always seem to
get short shrift.
But here’s what we
have this year:
Winters Bone: A
murder mystery that takes
place in the backwoods of
the Ozark Mountains. It’s
an indie hit mostly due to
the unorthodox setting.
Inception: I think
Chris Nolan let
the power from
BATMAN and
MEMENTO
go to his head
a bit. Instead of
being diabolically clever this
one seemed to
be obtuse for
its own sake.
You get the
feeling that
there’s nothing
beyond the FX.
The Social
Network:
None of
the people
involved
in the fluke
success of
Facebook
are particularly interesting to
me. Neither
is Facebook
itself nor
the courtroom battle it spawned, still this film
is surprisingly intriguing.
The Black Swan: A “sick chick flick” At
times riveting, often fascinating but always
dark surreal and disturbing.
The Fighter: An above average look at the
rise and fall of two boxing prodigies from a
New England slum and the
toll that addiction can take
on a family. Christian Bale is
brilliant.
The Kids Are All Right.
It’s a below average romantic comedy that isn’t funny
or particularly romantic. The
only reason this one made
the list is the fact the characters are gay.
The King’s Speech:
Some great performances
and unique storyline are reasons to see this muted British
period piece. It’s still a little
dull, but that’s OK once in
a while.
127 hours: One man
stuck in one situation for the
entire film and it’s amazingly
compelling the entire
time.
True Grit: It was a
great story decades ago
and still is. The acting
and production here
are as good as it gets,
but the Coen brothers
recent successes may
have the Academy
looking at other films
this year.
Toy Story 3: This
one is unsurpassed in
any area you choose.
Unfortunately animated features get less
respect than they deserve.
So as far as predictions go, I’d say the
buzz is around THE KINGS SPEECH and
THE SOCIAL NETWORK. I’m guessing the
academy will take their medicine and go with
THE KINGS SPEECH though I liked TRUE
GRIT and TOY STORY 3 much better.
Odds are that David Fincher gets best director
for THE SOCIAL NETWORK. I don’t understand why since I believe the Coen brothers
and Danny Boyle did better work. Oh well.
I think Colin Firth deservedly wins best actor
for THE KINGS SPEECH while Christian
Bale wins best supporting for THE FIGHTER.
(That could have been considered a lead role
but still…)
Best Actress
looks like
Natalie Portman in BLACK
SWAN and best
supporting is Melissa Leo for THE
FIGHTER though
I really liked
Hailee Steinfield
in TRUE GRIT.
There ya have
it gang, and as
always; no wagering.

stars in are not for me and Anaconda was
terrible but who is counting. Steven Tyler
made a cameo in “Wayne’s World 2” at
Wayne Stock, but I digress. I say; what
better people to have in front of a group of
new possible talented kids. So far Steven
can be a bit of a dirty old man but he has
been chasing ladies since the 1960’s so
why stop now, Hefner can sure do it well
I suppose. I like the way that Steven and
J-Lo work with Randy Jackson, a ten year
vet at this point. “It’s a No Dog.” When
he gets to play the villain, it works for
me! We have to wait and see how the new
rules and format go but for now I give it
an A+.

Tired Of Tired!
W
hat the… ? damn it I fell asleep
again trying to write this article?
That’s at least 7 times now and it’s
getting a little tiring being tired while trying to
write about being tired of being tired! There’s
like a virus or something going around this
winter that makes you sleepy like all the time!
It’s true I can
fall asleep anywhere and at any
given time… and
do so more times
than I care to count.
People tell me I must
have “Narcolepsy”.
Well I’m not so sure
about that, maybe
‘Snarpolepsy’ would
be a better term for
me!
I fell asleep last
week on the toilet,
woke up with dried crappy buns and my leg
had fallen asleep from my hip clear down to
my toes! Well as you can imagine trying to
clean up ‘dried poo buns’ is no easy chore, and
without having any feelings in one bun, when
trying to rock over onto that bun to gain cleaning access I just about fell off the damn toilet!
That’s when I got this great idea to stand
up, wet some toilet paper at the sink in an attempt to get the dried mud like substance off
my buns before chafing could occur! I really
hate chafing, chafing is bad!
So have you ever had to stand with one
numb leg, hanging on to the sink while trying
to get some toilet paper wet, clean up dried poo
from your buns, with your pants around your
ankles and not fall down?
something I care to repeat in the near future
that’s for sure!
I also fell asleep during a party at Dude’s
house last night. These punk kids got me all
gooned up on ‘Snarp Water’, which is Rumpleminze and Firewater Whiskey on the rocks,
so when I felt a nap coming on I just pointed to
a spot on the floor and said, “I’m
gonna lay down right there, right
now!”, then did just that!
But that really doesn’t fit
the whole Snarpolepsy profile
because I was under the influence
of ‘Snarp Water’ at the time, that
stuff will put an elephant down!
I have fallen asleep while driving
on the freeway when I worked
a 7 day swing shift and had to
drive an hour to get home from
work though. You wake up when
you hear the ‘B-R-R-R-R-R-P’ of
the rumble strip. It’s like “What
the… AHHHHHHHHH”, swerving back into
the lane! Then wait 5 minutes and repeat.
Sheesh that was friggen miserable.
I’ve fallen asleep at bars, schools, churches,
meetings, during conversations, and driving,
but never underwater and never on a motorcycle and only once during sex… uh… what
can I say, hope it was as good for her as it was
for me!
All this being tired crap is getting boring,
which is making me tired of thinking about
being tired and tired of trying to write about
being tired of being tired!
I’m glad there’s not a law that limits the
amount of ignorance one is allowed to expel
in a single lifetime, or else I’d be in a lot of
trouble!
Okay… nap time!

Quite a challenge I must admit, and not
