Born in Kosciusko, Mississippi on January 31, 1944, Charlie moved to Mem- phis at an early age and became immersed in the city’s diverse musical culture. He went to school with Tommy Cash (Johnny’s brother), knew Johnny Burnette and went to a few parties hosted by Elvis Presley. He soaked up all the music of Mem- phis, but it was the blues that grabbed hold of him. At 13, his father gave him his first guitar. After teaching himself a few chords, he was determined to know more. In his teens, he befriended several of Memphis’ legendary traditional bluesmen, in- cluding guitarist Furry Lewis and the surviving members of the Memphis Jug Band, Saturday, October 28th: most notably Will Shade.

Brevard Live October 2006 - 21 Movies by Greg Kimple & Franco Dean

Snakes on A Plane Starring: Samuel L Jackson, Julianna Margulies & Kenan Thompson, Rated R, Running Time: 105 Minutes Sometimes you do get what you pay for. This time you pay to see snakes - and you see snakes, snakes and more snakes. Snakes that have no mercy and are so relentless in their attacks on humans. In this ultra B movie at least 400 of these creepy crawlers are unleashed on an unsuspecting crew and passengers of an in-flight airplane that was headed to LAX Airport. A desperate mob boss tries to silence a federal witness by arranging for the title creatures to be sprung at 30,000 feet in the air. FBI agent Flynn (Jackson) is in charge of delivering the aforementioned witness from Hawaii to a court date in LA to testify. Flynn is demanding and headstrong and he doesn’t take any guff. In his profound and profane way, Agent Flynn tries to get the panicked passengers to keep their cool. Armed with a homemade flamethrower, Flynn does a good job of ridding the plane of the mother-blanking slither- ing reptiles. The movie is quite harmless, fun, silly at times and concerning the title… Blunt is Bliss! C

Invincible Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Greg Kinnear & Elizabeth Banks, Rated: PG 13 In this true gridiron saga, Wahlberg plays Vince Papale, a substitute teacher and bartender who in 1976 was chosen out of oblivion to win a position on his hometown Philadephia Eagles NFL team. The new coach Dick Vermiel (Kinnear) thought Vince had the right stuff, the desire, talent & attitude that would soon transform him into a hometown hero. Papale had never played college ball and was the consumate under- dog, never thinking that he would make the cut. This is an inspirational film that shows just how far one can go if they believe. Invincible is in the same vein as Rocky, Rudy, The Rookie and Hoosiers and is the story of one man’s attempt at hopeful glory. Wahlberg shines as an ordinary guy who excels at his dreams-come-true venture. B-

Hollywoodland Starring: Ben Affleck, Adrien Brody, Diane Lane, Bob Hoskins, Rated: r, Running Time: 126 Minutes Oscar winner Affleck (not for acting, he won for co- writing Good Will Hunting in the 90’s) is cast as 50’s actor George Reeves whose claim to fame was that he portrayed Superman on the hit TV show. This movie begins with his death in 1959. LA Confidential trappings are found through- out the movie Was it suicide? George’s mother thinks her son was murdered and that’s when Brody’s private detective character Simo starts digging up some mysterious details. It’s like 2 movies in 1, a Saturday afternoon doubleheader, if you will. Hollywood sleuth Simo (Brody) gets an E for effort for

22 - Brevard Live October 2006 attempting to figure out the mystery, discovering that Reeves had an affair with the wife (Lane) of a studio boss (Hoskins) who had mob connections. Lane is a sultry delight, while usually superb Hoskins is a rousing bore. Best Actor Oscar winner Brody sneaks and peeks trying to unravel this Holly- wood crossword puzzle. Affleck‘s tongue-in-cheek portrayal of Reeves is both charismatic and pathetic. Reeves was one of the first big stars of the then new Idiot Box. (TV) and was forever typecast. C

Wicker Man Starring: Nicolas Cage Hands down the worst picture of the year, Wicker Man is a remake of a 70’s British horror film that should have been left alone. In the credits I noticed that Cage was listed as some sort of producer. What was he thinking? Even though Cage meets a certain standard as an actor and is believable again in this film, the material is so bad that it’s all for naught. I wonder if he is embarrassed to come out of his house? He should be. F

Brevard Live October 2006 - 23 BILL VAN RIPER SOME STUFF YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW... ..about the Civil War. As you may have already sur- mised, most of what we call ‘history’ is a bunch of white- washed garbage. What we learned in grade school and high school is just the tip of the iceberg, and, of course, history is written by the winners. History, to most of us, was a bore, but that was because it wasn’t written by people like me, who want the juicy tidbits of history...the stuff they don’t tell you. Let’s get to the good stuff!

First of all, the Civil War was a war of many, uh, firsts: the first working machine gun was used during the C.W, as well as the first submarine, and, believe it or not the first flame thrower. I don’t know why this cracks me up. I guess it’s the vision in my head of the two sides marching toward each other ready to fight, then along comes the flame thrower guy, and the other side runs away going: ‘NYAAAAAH.. what the hell was that?!!!’ Ok, I guess you had to be there. The first naval torpedoes, aerial reconnaissance, and anti- aircraft fire were also experienced during this war. Jeez... and I thought these guys were so, hmmm...how do you say? 1860’s. Can you believe they had electrically exploded bombs. One doesn’t usually think of such things when one thinks of the Civil War now, does one? See? History is get- ting more fun already.

The stats are fuzzy on this next one, but it is estimated that at least 618,000 Americans died in the Civil War. Some say it’s closer to 7000,000. That is more than all wars up to the Korean war put together. What they don’t tell you in school, though, is that only about 1/3rd of these deaths was from battle, the rest were from disease. Still that’s a lot of dying. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, over 3,000 horses died at Gettysburg. I always wondered how the horses didn’t get hit in all those movies. I guess they did.

The last shot of the Civil War was a blank, fired from the Shenandoah in the Bering Straights, at the entrance to the Arctic Ocean. It was a warning shot to whalers, and occurred on June 28th, 1865. This happened to be exactly 11 weeks and three days after Appomattox. Man. They can invent a flame thrower, but I guess they couldn’t scrounge together an internet back then.

We’ve all heard of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, right? No? Ok, well he was considered by some as ‘the most able cavalry commander. He had 29 horses shot out from under him during the course of the war. He survived to become the founder of the Klu Klux Klan.

There was another Abraham Lincoln involved in the war. He was a private in Company F of the 1st Virginia company. He later deserted and defected to the North.

24 - Brevard Live October 2006 column

Soldiers estimated that it took a man’s weight in lead to kill a single enemy in battle. A federal expert said that each Confederate who was shot required 240 pounds of powder and 900 pounds of lead!

Here’s my favorite. The story of Wilmer McLean. He lived on an estate in Bull Run, near Manassas Junction in Virginia. On July 18, 1861 the battle called Bull Run by the Confederacy was started on his property, and a cannon ball went down his chimney into his stew! By the way, the battle that the Feds call Bull Run is called the Battle of Manassas by the Confederacy. Go figure. Anyway, after the troops had left, Wilmer decided it was time to move. Where did he move to? Appomattox Courthouse. On April 9th, 1865, while on his Sunday walk, Col. Charles Marshall approached him, asking if he knew of a place where Generals Lee and Grant could meet. McLean showed Marshall an unoccupied brick building in the middle of town, but it was empty, and the Colonel asked if there wasn’t some other place. And so Grant and Lee met in Wilmer’s parlor. To quote old Wilmer, ‘the war began in my front yard, and ended in my parlor.’ Now that’s amazing.

By the way, Lincoln did not write the Gettysburg address on a napkin, and he didn’t write it on the way to his speech. He wrote the speech in parts, and edited it the morning before he was supposed to give it. Below is another less famous quote by President Lincoln who, by the way, caused rioting in the streets of the North as a protest against the draft. Sound familiar?

‘I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.’ - Abraham Lincoln

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS continued

The Doobie Brothers had become one of the premier bands on the planet but were about to get even bigger when they released the multi-platinum chart topping album Minute By Minute in 1978. The record’s signature hit What a Fool Believes was also a #1 smash and helped to make them a household name by 1980. Future hits like Depending on You, Real Love, and The Doctor would follow over the next several years along with additional line-up changes, break-ups and reunions. But as they say, you can’t keep a good (great) band down and this month founding members Simmons and Johnston along with longtime members Mike Hossak and John McFee bring their show to Melbourne’s King Center for a special night of unfor- gettable, timeless classic rock and roll. For tickets and more information call the King Center Ticket Office at 321-242-2219.

PRICELESS MOMENTS... nd then there are moments that are PRICELESS! David “Honeyboy” Edwards, one of the last living links to Rob- ertA Johnson and one of the last original acoustic Delta blues players, performed at the SBI last month. Local bluesman Steve Thorpe came to hear him and got lucky enough to sit in with this legend. “I’m telling you, I’ve got to play and sing with a lot of people. Some are icon performers that everybody knows. Getting to jam with David “Honey Boy” Edwards is by far the coolest thing I’ve ever done”, said Steve to Brevard Live. “When we got done he smiled and said to me ‘you fol- lowed me like an old hound dog’.. I’ll never be paid a higher compliment by anyone in the blues. He is the last of his piers. I love it, I love him. I can’t describe it.”

The design is navigable and leaves room for the all important mingling during an after-dinner visit or a wine tasting.

I was thrilled when I found out about Moonstruck’s first wine tasting and simply couldn’t miss it. And I wasn’t the only one. Moonstruck had a pretty full house for their Melbourne wine showcasing debut. Our vino-venture began at the entrance where we were greeted with a glass of De Faveri Prosecco NV. Prosecco, which is often confused with champagne, is a light fruity bubbly. It was an instant hit with me as I tend to enjoy lighter and sweeter wines. After we found our seats we had a few minutes to peruse the wine selection and mingle with some of the other guests before the platter of pairings and the next wine selection was served.

Brevard Live October 2006 - 55 Art lass has always in brevard Gintrigued Brett by Lou Belcher Alan Tam. Some of his earliest memories are of watching a Southwestern jeweler making glass beads on the banks of the Colorado River. Thirty-years later, he’s living his dream: he’s a glass artist.

Born in Los Angeles, Tam moved to Brevard County where he attended Ascension Elementary School, Melbourne Central Catholic High School, Brevard Community College, and Florida State in Tallahassee. Growing up, Tam had no idea he’d become an artist. With mostly athletes in his family rather than artists, he BRETT ALAN TAM began working for a cabinet company. In 2003, while out on a kitchen design job at the home of stain glass artist Angelika Traylor, she invited him to see her studio. He knew instantly that he wanted to work with glass. Traylor told Tam that Robert Mickelson was presenting a flameworking class the following weekend. Tam signed up, took the workshop, and a career was born. That class led to others. Now, two-and-a-half years later, Tam is a glass artist producing beautiful, delicate works of his own. Through developing his skills in glass art, Tam not only learned artists’ techniques, but he learned to see the world differently. As Tam describes it, “With glass, I can both freeze time and show the illusion of motion. Moods and feelings, dark and humorous, can be captured in the forms of spontaneous sculptures.” HIS TORCH IS HIS BRUSH

The medium Tam has chosen, like life, is fragile. The torch he uses he thinks of as a big brush to manipulate the glass. “The trick is to heat it up just enough,” he said. “If you heat it too much, the glass will slump and you can’t control it.” Tam is always striving for that perfect temperature. He said he enjoys “…the challenging, technical aspects of creating three-dimensional artwork. I view myself as a keeper of a flame; part artist, part historian. I learn from glass every day.” Tam is a believer in continuing education. He participates in classes and workshops whenever he can. In addition to the Mickelson workshop, he has attended one given by Thomas Muller-Litz, glassblower from generations of flameworkers. Tam has also attended lectures and classes given by Paul

56 - Brevard Live October 2006 Stankard, who is famous for his delicate designs within paperweights, and Nancy Dillen, local artist and teacher who Tam credits with helping him understand the business end of his career in art. Tam also indicated that Micah Evans, a glass artist from Miami, has had an influence on his work. Fully devoted to his career, Tam has immersed himself into the art world. When not in his garage-studio working on glass, he works at the Brevard Museum of Art and Science as a gallery attendant. When Mickelson presents workshops, Tam often hosts visiting artists in his home, so he can talk with and learn from other artists. Tan describes his work as having “…a genuine organic quality. Growing up in the Southwestern desert and on the edge of a Florida marsh, I’ve come to understand that beauty is abundant if you only know how to look.” He says that his love for gardening has set the tone as a creative starting point. Tam has shown his art at galleries, museums, and in the BCC/UCF Solar Research Library lobby. He has given demonstrations and hopes to do more of that as well as teach. Dedicated to his craft, he seems to be doing all he can to perfect his skills and help others in the field.

POOR PAUL SELLS FRESH PRODUCE!

f you have been around in the 90’s, you might rememberI Sandy and Paul Van Pelt from the Purple Porpoise which he man- aged to turn into a party hot spot featuring infamous “Hurricane Parties” with real sand in the bar (and the sound was so good that night!), hilarious scaven- ger hunts and lots of live bands. Memories aside, Paul and Sandy “are back in the building” - not in the bar and restaurant business, but next door with “Poor Paul’s Produce” where you can find the freshest fruit and veg- gies at very reasonable prices. And instead of late nights, Paul is now working early morning hours supplying the freshest produce to local restaurants and keeping his store well stocked. You can reach him at 321-243-2311.
