Lyra...... 5:00 In the strictest sense, Steve Earle isn’t a country or folk artist; he’s a roots rocker. At fi rst, Earle appeared to be more indebted to the rock side than country, as he played a stripped-down, 6827 Lake Road West • Geneva • 440-466-9127 neo-rockabilly style that occasionally verged on outlaw country. However, his unwillingness to 2-1/2 miles west of Rt. 534 and Geneva State Park conform to the rules of Nashville or rock & roll meant that he never broke through into either Corner of County Line Rd. and Lake Road West. genre’s mainstream. Instead, he cultivated a dedicated cult following, drawing from both the country and rock audiences. Earle’s acceptance by the rock community didn’t please the country establishment in Nashville. After a series of career and personal setbacks, Earle signed to Winter Harvest in1995 and released the acoustic Train a Comin’, his fi rst studio album in fi ve years. Train a Comin’ received terrifi c reviews and strong sales, despite Earle’s claim that the label botched the album’s song sequence. The attention led to a new record contract with Warner Bros., who released I Feel Alright in early 1996 and El Corazon in 1997; both garnered strong reviews and respectable sales. Earle had returned from the brink and reestablished himself as a vital artist. In the process, he won back the country audience he had abandoned in the late ‘80s. The Mountain, a bluegrass record cut with the Del McCoury Band, followed in 1999, and a year later Earle returned with Transcendental Blues, produced by T-Bone Burnett. He continued to pump out albums, and tour heavily throughout the new decade.

A man of many talents, Earle branched out and proved himself a pretty convincing actor in dramatic roles on HBO’s The Wire and the acclaimed television series Treme. A song he wrote for the series, “This City,” was nominated for both Grammy and Emmy awards. He also inked a two-book publishing deal with Twelve. The fi rst will be a memoir, while the second will be a novel. In the spring of 2013, Earle re-teamed with longtime collaborator and co-producer Ray Kennedy and his road band, the Dukes (And Duchesses) to release The Low Highway to worldwide acclaim. Now two years later – the blues album. If playing the blues requires real life suffering to be authentic, Earle has more than paid his dues. Addiction, broken marriages, prison, and all manner of drama have infused much of his work with darkness. Even so, he doesn’t cast himself as a sad sack on all of Terraplane’s eleven songs. Instead, he kicks off the CD by slurring and stuttering his way through “Baby Baby Baby (Baby)”, a boozy blues tune that brews up images of Delta juke joints, and romps it up on “Ain’t Nobody’s Daddy Now” — a new song steeped in rootsy ragtime. Terraplane isn’t a blues album that mopes; it’s a blues album that moves. It’s also a showcase for the members of his longtime backup band, the Dukes, an alt-country supergroup whose members include Kelley Looney — Earle’s bassist since the “Copperhead Road” days , Will Rigby on drums, and husband-and-wife duo the Mastersons, who handle lead guitar and fi ddle. They recorded Terraplane at House of Blues Studio D in

The since-lost essay he wrote on the latter artist’s Crime and Punishment seems to have been a humdinger. Then again, he had already established himself as a literary critic of some audacity the previous year, at thirteen, with an oral report entitled “Why ‘Casey at the Bat’ Is a Better Poem Than ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.’” Precocious or just cocky, or both, young Robert Christgau was on his way to fi nding his true vocation, even if it did not yet exist in 1956. It seems to have been on its way. According to Christgau, now the author of a memoir called Going into the City, one of the seminal rock-critical texts had already been written.i ThThat would ld bbe WilliWilliam WWordsworth’s d h’ Preface to the 1800 Lyrical Ballads collection he co-edited. Something about Wordsworth’s thoughts on metered verse that incorporates “the real language of men in a state of vivid sensation” seems to have struck a chord with a man who would spend his life writing about rock ‘n’ roll. The other founding text he mentions is his onetime lover Ellen Willis’s 1968 essay LYLE Thursday, on Bob Dylan. Wordsworth or Dylan, “Casey” or “The Rime,” Dostoevsky or Elvis—well, June 25 maybe that recurring or should be and. At some time between Wordsworth’s foundational text HEATH Bass Lake and Willis’s, a distinction between high art and popular art began to break down, at least in the Taverne "The"The VVersatilee and 6-9 minds of some fans and critics, Christgau included. If a certain art form is no less of an art form MulMulti-ti- Instrumentalist Musician" for being popular, what’s a smart guy who’s into it, writes well, and doesn’t play an instrument Saturday, to do?

of distinctions between high and low. And the “low” went to some very interesting places, including the heights. Christgau says that his fi rst rock show was fi ve scruffy guys from London, four dollars a ticket in ‘64—who would later put out an LP called Aftermath that for a time he considered the best album ever made. His 2015 take on it shows that his critical chops are still in good order; his feminist-infl uenced, or Ellen Willis-infl uenced, thoughts on “Stupid Girl” and “Under My Thumb” are nuanced and smart. Monterey Pop, Sergeant Pepper and who knows how many big moments and extraordinary albums would follow. The music of the heights was popular, and Christgau brought to his writing on that music a critical idea that would inform his work for the long run. For him, contrary to a notion widespread among both folkies and rockers,1 commercial popularity did not and does not imply sellout. He’s never used the word “pop” as a pejorative. This is a man who wrote in 1972, when the rest of the hipper rock audience had been listening to free-form FM for some time, that when in the car he only listened to AM radio. I have touched on Christgau’s critical assumptions because he is the kind of critic who will take a critical-theoretical stand and lay it out. A good thing, and certainly right for the years of Christgau’s coming of age. A subculture that conceives of itself as insurgent in some way, which both hippies and politicos did—for a while—and becomes a mass phenomenon despite its minority status, is going to need thinkers inclined to try to connect the dots. That subculture— really, a complex of several subcultures—threw up several critics of whom Christgau speaks, including himself, Ellen Willis, Jon Landau, and Greil Marcus—who made it their business to consider the realms where art, commerce and politico-cultural insurgency intersect. So, this is a life story; perforce it is also an intellectual history and a tale of how a writerly specialty invented itself. A critic must also be a fan, as I am certain Christgau would agree, and if Christgau is theoretically inclined, this does not mean that either his criticism or his memoir is dry or out- of-touch. The memoir might inspire you to seek out the criticism, a good deal of which is easy to fi nd, but it is primarily a memoir. Christgau covers his life from its prehistory up to 1985, when he was forty-three. He speaks of his birth family, mother with cultural aspirations, father a fi reman whose Depression memories kept him hardworking; extended family solid if not without a black sheep or two, both sides not many generations removed from Germany; life as a bookish but not unsociable young guy, the accelerated schooling of a bright if occasionally- distracted student; girls, then women; religion falls away, philosophy enters. He preferred Mailer Rated #1 with to Kerouac but now plays some Kerouac-worthy riffs on the hitch-hiking travels of his twenty- Northcoast Women! second year. The 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education desegregation case pleased young Bob follow us... but seemed distant. A teacher explained its implications. In the same year he heard Joe Turner’s facebook.com/mix971 & mix971tweets “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” courtesy of Alan Freed. No explanation was needed. Christgau became one of those rare English majors who make their post-college livings primarily from writing and editing rather than teaching. (He mentions in passing that books don’t really have editors any more. It would seem so. His use of “impact” as a verb, and sentences such as “[M]e and Dietz got two of them” struck this English major/critic a mite peculiarly. But the lapses are rare.) And he is one (rare) nineteen-forties baby who has kept current on popular music. In later chapters he speaks engagingly of his several decades as critic and reviews editor at the Village Voice. I hadn’t realized how many good writers he’d played mentor to. And he seems not to have lost his touch when it came to writing about dissident subcultures that he was not part of, including punk and rap scenes American and British.

~Continued on Page 28 14 www.northcoastvoice.com • (440) 415-0999 June 24 - July 15, 2015 By Helen Marketti Bruce Kulick Former KISS guitarist releases a new album and single Bruce Kulick has been in the music scene for over 40 years. His humble beginnings were with two close friends in the early 70s while growing up in Jackson Heights, New York. Kulick along with friends, Mike Katz and Guy Bois formed KKB and recorded material in 1974. The 12-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! tracks sat idle for many years as each member went their separate ways. Bruce went on to play guitar with Michael Bolton, Meatloaf, KISS and Grand Funk Railroad. There are six original tracks and one new one, “Got To Get Back”. Fans will love the sound and the polished up Saturday, July 11th original tracks. The music is 70s made and inspired when life seemed simpler than it does today. “I was really impacted by the British Invasion which completely changed the entire landscape Harpersfield Winery for music,” said Bruce. “The Beatles inspired me to play guitar. Thankfully, it wasn’t that diffi cult to play and I took to it quite easily. My biggest guitar hero is Jimi Hendrix. He had to go 7:30 til 10:00 to London fi rst to make it. Groups like The Who, Led Zeppelin and Cream had a huge infl uence on Mike and I. Mike is the singer/songwriter for KKB and loved Jack Bruce of Cream. The new CD is dedicated to Jack. That entire era of rock kept us motivated to learn our instruments and be creative. When I fi rst heard “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin, it really turned me upside down. It is all still relative and still powerful.” “I enjoy listening to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, Chopin and Stravinksy. We are still affected by the classic music. It is so much a part of our culture. It’s timeless,” explains Bruce. “KISS with or without make up, it doesn’t matter because the music keeps getting handed down to each Saturday, July 18th generation. It doesn’t scare me that we can talk about a 40-year career. In fact, it makes life more interesting.” “Got To Get Back” is a song that Bruce is happy with in addition to being pleased with the entire CD project. “I gave Mike some ideas for the Red Hawk Grille song. It’s amazing what he did with it. We weren’t trying to be anybody but ourselves. We took older songs, polished them up, and wrote a new song which all makes for a cohesive package. We were in our 20s back then playing that kind of music. It was pure and innocent without any struggles,” said Bruce. 8:30 til 11:00 He continues, “Mike had held on to the tracks all of these years. I had a copy on tape from Radio Shack (laughs). I do archive everything I have. I think it’s important to hang onto the work you do and have it digitized because it will last longer rather than keeping the recordings on Check out the Abbey Rodeo video at: tape.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwWk_2hELk “I am grateful to everyone who worked on this album. It was great to listen to each of our contributions come together. I wanted to share it with the world. We all still keep in touch. Mike still lives in the ole neighborhood in New York and Gary lives in France,” said Bruce. “One thing that www.Abbeyrodeo.com was a bit frustrating was there weren’t that many photos of us together from the early days. Now everyone takes a photo of everything but back then you didn’t think that way.” Bruce takes a few moments to discuss what it has been like working with talented musicians over the past 40 years. “When Michael Bolton and I worked together he had such drive and dedication. You know with all of us creative types that we’re all a little crazy. (laughs) Michael always said that you have to know your priorities and move in the direction you want to go. I learned from that experience,” remembers Bruce. “When I worked with Billy Squire, he was meticulous. He took notes on everything that he did that particular day so now when I record I take notes, too.” “I played guitar with Meatloaf on his Bat Out of Hell Tour. Meatloaf had been signed by Cleveland International Records. He was signed by Steve Popovich who is no longer with us. We started out playing in small clubs and getting booed and then eventually touring the world.” “My brother, Bob did some ghost guitar work for KISS. He auditioned for them but they decided to go with Ace Frehley. I had known Paul Stanley a little bit from seeing him socially,” said Bruce. “During the summer of ‘84, they called me to do some ghost guitar work for them on the album, Animalize. As I was leaving the studio that day, I remember Paul telling me not to get my hair cut. I went to Europe with KISS thinking it would be for a couple of weeks and it turned into 12 years. I am a part of the KISS family which is great.” “Each of the artists I have worked with has certain strengths. That is why they are famous. Gene (Simmons) and Paul (Stanley) gave me a huge lesson on image and professionalism. I was already a bit of a perfectionist anyway because my dad worked quality control for the government. I grew up with a little bit of pressure that everything had to be right,” recalls Bruce. “Gene and Paul know how to present themselves. They are successful because of hard work. I am very careful what kind of product I am going to make. It’s going to be as great as it can be because if it has my name attached to it, it has to be of high quality.” “I enjoy getting things done. I might do a meet and greet one day, a music clinic on another and I want to make sure I am prepared. I want everything to look good from the fl yer, the promotion, the works. Don Brewer (original drummer for Grand Funk Railroad) works the same way. He makes sure everything is of high quality, that we are paid and everyone has a good time. I have been with Grand Funk Railroad for 14 years and I love it.” Bruce’s new CD by KKB, “Got To Get Back” is available on iTunes, Amazon and through his web site. “I have a limited number of a special packaged deal if anyone orders through my web site. It includes a guitar pic, CD photo card and download card. I care about details. It’s always exciting to hear from the fans.”

LOCATED ON THE STRIP Now—nearly half a century since Toots Hibbert fi rst coined a catchphrase with “Do & Gary Slovensky GENEVA-ON-THE-LAKE RESORT the Reggay”—Insight Editions has released an updated version of Steffans and Simon’s comprehensive 2007 travelogue, The Reggae Scrapbook. “It just came to me, ‘Do the Reggay,” says the Maytals front man in his foreword. “I didn’t invent it. It just happened.” “Before that time (1968), we called our music ska or blue beat or rocksteady.” The hefty, 150-page coffee table tome also boasts an intro by acclaimed author Stephen Davis (Rolling Stone, The New York Times), whose books on Fleetwood Mac, Jim Morrison, and Summer is finally here! Levon Helm raised the bar for rock biographies. Interviewing a 30-year old Marley on the eve of one of his fi nest tours, Davis marvels at the singer’s “millenarian faith” and “unshakable beliefs.” “We just children of the earth,” says Bob. “But our minds all wiggy-woggy.” “The devil have plenty infl uence. Jah lead to life! Righteousness shall cover the earth, like water cover the sea.” We Offer the Personal Service You’ve Missed Lately We’ve been devoted to da riddim since hearing Marley’s multi-platinum hits collection Legend in high school. We broadened our tastes (and minds) with international legends like Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer—and local (Cleveland) acts I-Tal and Carlos Jones. We picked up Tosh’s No Nuclear War just because we thought the cover art looked cool—and proceeded to wear out the cassette. Ziggy Marley’s 1988 album Conscious Party (“Tomorrow People”) was an early favorite, too. We thought we knew a lot on the subject, but the Scrapbook rights our ignorance. Where did reggae really come from? What differentiates it from other popular musical forms? Who were its principal forebears, practitioners, and patrons? And what’s all this Rastafari stuff about, anyway? The scrapbook traces reggae back to its “skavoovie” Sixties roots, then—relying on Auto Home Business Life Steffans’ text and Simon’s eye-popping images—traces its maturation, proliferation, and veneration over the next four decades. We’re taken behind the glass with noteworthy producers (Coxsone Dodd, Duke Reid) and label execs (Chris Blackwell), share cramped studios with prophet-like singers and musicians, and soak up local scenery in and around Kingston.

18 www.northcoastvoice.com • (440) 415-0999 June 24 - July 15, 2015 Stadium Grill Welcomes 5th Annual th Rock-n-Roll Circus June 28 By Trenda Jones

The Lake County Rock-n-Roll Circus has become a highly anticipated event for the community as well as local musicians. The efforts of Mac Chafer (of Coldwell Banker Hunter Realty) and his volunteer staff has launched this event into great success year after year. The Rock-n-Roll Circus donates 100% of proceeds to its causes. This year’s recipients are WomenSafe and Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital. The entire circus staff, bands, sound company and venue donate their time and talent to provide a fun fi lled day of top shelf entertainment, auctions, raffl es and prizes for all who attend. Mac appreciates, perhaps more than anyone, each musician who plays for the event. He played drums professionally for 22 years for a number of bands. The latest he played with, The Window, was Majic Radio’s promo band with fellow members; Denny Carleton, Randy Klawon, Jack Freeman, Al Globekar, Mike Wry and Tom Mackell. Among the line up every year is Richie Rich & the Rotaters-comprised of players from several Cleveland based bands such as The Choir, Peter Panic, Penny Arcade, The Raspberries, Brickhouse, Ruby & the Oswald’s, Sitting ducks, The Mods, Circus, Hot Shot, Frenz and Speedometer. The year was 1972, lead vocalist, Richard Anderson was living in an Oregon mining cabin working as a lumberjack. He and friend, Al Fishkey were cutting a Douglas fi r with a two man saw. Suddenly two guys and a girl drive by, much to their surprise, its old friends from Mentor, Ohio. One being Al Globekar! After a happy welcome, Al assisted in cutting the thirty-six inch diameter tree. The tree fi nally fell, Al and Richard sat on the stump and talked, laughed and reminisced. They decided that if they were still around in the year 2000 that they would start a band together! The years passed as they remained friends, both working on different projects. Then in 2006, they remembered their vow and Richie Rich & the Rotaters were born. The bands line up consists of Richard and Al along with several “rotating” members including Ralph Kuta, Randy Klawon, Stu Leyda, Jim Bonfanti, Norm Isaac, Norm Tischler, Billy Conklin and the late Rick Harrison. They have been a crowd favorite at each Rock-n-Roll Circus. “We’re not a jukebox band” says Richard. “We use our own fl are and interpretation of a song and choose material that is unique.” Al says “It’s a fun band, we all get along great and there’s no ego’s. We’ve all known each other for years and have a great time doing what we love to do.” It all began for Richard Anderson in the seventh grade with guitar lessons. The fi rst song he learned was Bye Bye Love by The Everly Brothers. He moved on to sing, play bass and percussion. In 1965, he met Jim Bonfanti in High School and the two played together in Penny Arcade with Danny Klawon as well as in Lost Guardian and T.I.M.E. Al Globekar had several musicians in his family. His father played guitar, his mother sang and recorded. As a boy he was heavily infl uenced by Bob Dylan, Duane Eddy and the Rolling Stones. Al is self-taught and began with acoustic guitar at age 14. By 15, he was playing professionally with The Shanes, Circus, Bon Voyage, The Secret, and Doors tribute, Beggars Banquet. Both have played outside the Cleveland area. Richard at The Whiskey-A-Go-Go and The Troubadour in California and Al in Oregon, Florida, Chicago, New York and did a European tour in 2003. These guys along with many annual “circus” goers remember well northeast Ohio in the 60’s, in particular the Lake County rock scene, Richard referred to it as “The Liverpool of the Midwest.” Both were here from the beginning, playing places like The Hullabaloo and Painesville Armory. Joining the Lake County Rock-n-Roll Circus will surely bring back memories of days gone by, reunite old friends and introduce a new generation of music lovers to what 60’s rock-n-roll is all about and how that era led us to the music we enjoy today.

Creating personal boundaries An Interview With Author Nick Ortner Dealing with toxic relationships Clearing resistance to change How does tapping relieve chronic pain? Understanding the power of a diagnosis There’s a lot of research being done at places like Stanford University that is giving us a better Working through anger understanding of chronic pain. Back pain is a great example. It’s the #1 cause of chronic pain, with over 30 million Americans and many more around the world suffering from it. That pain is often diagnosed as the result of a herniated disc, but studies show that a signifi cant percentage of people with a herniated disc have zero back pain. We don’t know for sure whether a herniated disc even causes chronic pain! Thanks to recent studies of chronic pain, we know that stress and negative emotions like fear and anger increase pain. Those emotions are part of the body’s stress response, and that stress response can also turn short-term pain, like pain we experience after an injury, into long-term chronic pain. Tapping interrupts that stress response, including signifi cantly lowering levels of the stress-related hormone cortisol. By putting the body into a more relaxed state, tapping allows the body to do what it’s meant to do, which is heal itself and relieve the pain. Does tapping work on all kinds of chronic pain? Yes, tapping can provide powerful pain relief for pain from fi bromyalgia, arthritis, chronic migraines, RSD (also called CRPS), pain from an injury, surgery, degenerative conditions, and much more. It works on pain throughout the body, and also on pain that has been chronic for years, even decades. The list goes on and on. I always encourage people to just try it, and keep using it until they get the relief they desire. Does tapping relieve real physical pain, or just psychosomatic pain? That’s an important question. The answer is yes, tapping relieves real physical pain. This is not imaginary pain. It’s very real physical pain, and in many cases it’s excruciating. When we discuss the mind-body science around chronic pain, we’re talking about how stress and emotions work with the body to create real physical pain. It’s a new understanding of chronic pain. Tapping targets that pain on a physical and emotional level, which is why it’s so effective for pain relief.

How will tapping impact the future of chronic pain treatment? Tapping provides safe, effective pain relief without any negative side effects, so there’s growing interest in tapping from medical professionals who are open to alternative healing modalities. More nurses, doctors and other health professionals are learning tapping and using it with patients. My hope is that someday tapping will become part of standard medical treatment for chronic pain and other conditions. It is an incredibly powerful treatment to use in hospitals, pre and post-surgery, and of course as a preventive treatment. It has also had great results with treating PTSD, which often is accompanied by chronic pain. Vets, as well as trauma survivors are getting pain relief and overcoming emotional and mental trauma because of tapping. Available at www.hayhouse.com

That teachers of our time—(Abraham / Hicks, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Eckhart Tolle, and oh-so-many more), Science of Mind includes understanding came into being. It is not a religion, but a philosophy, a way of life—in complete accordance with the world’s oldest Scriptures—a Science of every aspect of our lives; Spiritual Psychology. our Soul’s Purpose, our Finances, our Professions and our Relationships. Ernest Holmes penned Science of Mind over 75 years ago. It is as relevant today as it was then, and it was as relevant then as anything, anytime….that looks at the point where spirituality and science walk hand-in-hand through the visible and the invisible. Ernest, in his introduction, discusses “The Thing Itself”, and supposes that the Divine Plan is one of freedom—that the dogma of religion is not 3AT *UNEs  God-ordained, but is one of bondage. ALCHEMY 101 In addressing that freedom, it is clear that abundance, joy, health, are our natural states of being and that anything less stems from fear. There with Michael Thompson is nothing supernatural about the Study of Life, which Science of Mind is. We are meant to approach our lives with awe, and not with fear; with a truly humble thought, but not with a sense that we are unworthy. Science of Mind opens doors to our psyches that we have most likely never before entered. To begin studying it, we have the opportunity to 3AT *UNEs  get acquainted with ourselves by answering an inner “questionnaire”: "The Veil Between What is your name?

Not that street address where you keep your ‘stuff’ and park your physical body, but where do you live—the real you? That something that knows the address and tells the body to go home, sits in a chair, and has a rest while you go on thinking; that’s the real you. Your body then, is the house in which you live. When this questionnaire that Science of Mind guides us through is completed, we will know that we are awesomely and wonderfully made, and that everything that is…or has ever been… or ever will be… is the result of Cause and Effect, an immutable law……Effect always follows cause. We know this today as The Law of Attraction. The answers to each of the questions end up being a milestone on our journey of self- discovery, and each will bring us nearer to learning who we really are and the potentialities that we carry into this lifetime. We can’t learn all about life in a day, any more than we can live all of life in a day. The point is to learn it as we live it. So….doesn’t it make sense to learn to live it intelligently, with a certain defi nite direction, so that we may know where we are going, why we are going, and just how to get there? It has been said that a journey of a thousand miles can only be taken one step at a time, and to study something as deeply profound as Science of Mind, is merely a detour in Life’s journey and we have the rest of our lives in which to do it. Science of Mind is not a new cult, creed or dogma; neither is it a new religion, but a composite of that which has endured throughout the ages. It is meant only to be a new way of meeting life, and preventing some of its problems, by a better understanding of what life is and what part we play in its drama, and whether or not we have a choice as to the part we play. Ernest Holmes Introductory text: “The Thing Itself…..How It Works…and How to Use It” closes with words—though written nearly 80 years ago— as relevant today as the messages of any of the world’s greatest educators, authors, prophets, and mystics throughout history: “A new light is coming into the world. We are on the borderland of a new experience. The veil between Spirit and matter is very thin. The invisible passes into visibility through our faith in it….The Truth always sets us free, and Spirit always makes Itself known. Happy are we if we see these things which, from the foundation of the human race, have been longed for by all aspiring souls.”

Well, it has rained enough in the past week and I’m ready for some sunshine. I’ve been putting the fi nal touches on my new Shop and I’m Custom Designs real happy about trying to get organized for the new Smoking Hot Guitar venture. With all of the rearranging of my tools from one shop to the Guitars next, I have found a whole huge “garage sale” worth of stuff that I will be getting rid of. Make sure you mark this date on your calendar because Basses I’m liquidating all kinds of tools, hardware, wood, instruments and everything else that isn’t nailed down. The sale will be starting Fri, June 26th Acoustic and ending Sun at 4:00 on June 28th. It will be 4 days of selling everything I can. Believe me there will be some good deals! Electric Mandolins Getting back to the guitar world, I have been busier than a one armed wall paper hanger. I have recently bought some instruments to re-sell Double Necks at some of the music festivals that I attend so the shop is overwhelmed with instruments. I don’t have any space left to put anything. All of the Harp Guitars benches have stuff piled all over and I’m starting to have a panic attack. When I see that much stuff I just think of all the work I need to do. It’s

Intonation Adjustments The repair for this week is building new nuts for Acoustic Pickup Installs instruments. I have said it before, but I will say it again.

And Patrick Podpadec the fact that it will be easy to play will just make you want Luthier to play it more. This coming week I will be performing a 440.474-2141 workshop at the Blue Sky Folk Festival and I believe I will [email protected] be talking a bit about the importance of a well fi tted nut and www.liamguitars.com saddle. I also have been debating on showing the traditional method of bending sides with a hot pipe. There are newer and probably more stable methods that most luthiers are currently using, such as the Lmi heating blankets and the digital temperature controller that gives the user a very precise heat Guitar so that the chance of scorching or destroying your valuable wood is almost completely eliminated. But in a workshop Lessons setting this method is diffi cult to perform in a 45 min window. From Rick Piunno The process can take up to couple of hours when you include Beginner setup and cooling time to get the wood to “set” and put it in a to form . The old fashion way is actually faster and some luthiers are still using the method of a hot pipe to bend sides. I have often done it when I’m Advanced only doing one or two pieces it’s much less complicated than dragging out all of the other tools and jigs that are necessary for the other method. When I was at my instrument supplier the other day I always snoop around in the back corners to see what broken instruments that he might have laying around that I can buy cheap. In the past I have got some pretty good deals on things that I might not normally purchase. I don’t sell instruments outright like a conventional music store so sometimes my instruments will sit around for years before I sell them. Sometimes I will Electric fi x them and try to learn how to play a song or two on them and then I will retire them to my music room in my house. I had the opportunity to and purchase a badly broken 32” harp. The main arm that carries the string load had somehow been broken off. It looked like a pretty clean break Acoustic and with a few splines to re-enforce the crack, I think I might have a new harp to try and play. Back in April when I was at the Riverside Music festival there was a very talented musician that played the harp and played all kinds of folk songs and other cool music on his harp. I guess that’s Let me teach you when I saw this broken harp, I had to rescue it so I could try to learn how to play something on it. It’s funny how my mind works. Most people how to make music! would buy a workable instrument to learn how to play it. I, on the other hand feel the need to fi x it fi rst. What’s up with that? I guess it’s a curse that I will have to live with. I’m still looking for people who may be interested in learning about the guitar repair business. Everywhere I go I meet people who tell me that they have always wanted to try to build a guitar. I highly recommend that your fi rst attempt should be more on the lines of seeing how well Schedule your you might be able to fi x one fi rst. By doing this you will learn valuable information that you can transfer over to your guitar building venture. It is critical that you know how to set up a instrument properly or there is no sense in building one that you can’t play. I have many instruments that lesson today! need repair and I am always looking for someone that might want to help and learn a little along the way. My 30 years of experience can help you reach your musical goals! So till next time please remember to keep it in tune!

We have seen the progression of the Western hero from the days of Tom mix Gene Autry and Roy Rogers the spotless and straight shooting Cow- boys through the 19 sixties into the world of supposedly realistic antihe- roes, defi ned by the characters played by Clint Eastwood and others, as seen through the camera lens of modern directors including Sergio Leone. SLOW WEST, a plodding and surrealistic trek through the Old West is the brainchild of Scottish musician turned writer director, John Ma- cLean, and actor executive producer Michael Fassbender. This is another of those fi lms in very limited release simultaneous with VOD. It is in theaters but the closest one is in Grand Rapids or somewhere equally inaccessible. Still it won a Sundance Film Festival Award for dramatic fi lm so... Its genre is listed as action thriller but don’t be fooled, there is very little action and probably even less thrills to be had. This fi lm, in my opinion, is a prime example of artistes mistaking obtuse images and scenarios for deep thought. The story itself is relatively straightforward. A young Scottish man Jay (Kodi Smith - McPhee) is crossing the US in search of his lost love Rose. Somehow Rose has become a fugitive and is being pursued by a particularly rough crowd of Indian hunters who are not above collecting a bounty along the way. Along the road Jay will team up with Silas (Fassbender), a mean and rugged despera- do who agrees to accompany the young Scot to his destination for a price. On that journey the two men will separate, reunite and experience a handful of situations not particularly ruled by logic or reality. One of the most incredible situations is the fact that Rose, the fugitive, assumedly in great peril and on the run from this gang of killers has built a house smack dab in the middle of the plain. It certainly seems to me a wiser plan of action would be subterfuge, disguise and changing positions as often as possible. Anyway, that’s where the climax will take place, a gunfi ght with many surprising casualties and even more surprising repercussions. I realize there is a tendency by newer fi lmmakers to represent the American Western as more of a dystopian society which, I can easily assume it probably was. As with Clint Eastwood’s UNFORGIVEN, the point was made at almost every turn that there are no happy endings.

I suppose someone could enjoy the surrealistic nature of SLOW WEST and especially appreciate the beauty of the scenery. It was, in fact, fi lmed in New Zealand. Accepting the pretentious nature, the snail’s pace, and lapses in reality is a decision you will need to make on your own. C

Grit, elemental rhythm, tight-as-a-drumhead playing, and a profound depth of feeling: these are the promises of a great soul band. And St. Paul & The Broken Bones deliver on those promises. Half The City is the compelling full-length Single Lock/Thirty Tigers debut of the Birmingham, Alabama-based sextet, who have already created a maelstrom of interest with their roof-raising live shows and self-released four-song 2012 EP. Produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, and recorded and mixed in the storied R&B mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the album harkens back to the region’s classic soul roots while extending the form with electrifying potency. The band: Paul Janeway: lead vocals, Jesse Phillips: bass Browan Lollar: guitars, vocals, Allen Branstetter: trumpet Andrew Lee: drums, percussion Ben Griner: trombone, tuba, Al Gamble: keys Immediately, Half the City received critical acclaim from many national journalistic outlets including Paste magazine, Garden and Gun, Southern Living, Rolling Stone, and NPR. In its fi rst week of sales, Half the City reached #62 on the Billboard 200 charts. After major stories by NPR Morning Edition and a national television debut on CBS “This Morning: Saturday”, St. Paul and The Broken Bones’ debut album reached #56 on Billboard 200 charts. St. Paul and The Broken Bones is currently touring North America and Europe on their Half the City tour. In addition to their own tour they have been tabbed by The Rolling Stones to be their opening Act for their show that took place in Atlanta, Georgia on June 9, and the upcoming show in Buffalo, New York on July 15, 2015. http://stpaulandthebrokenbones.com
