It’s great. Huntsville/Madison Public Library Auditorium The March Coffeehouse was a terrific success for us, in terms or the audience turnout, performance quality, and finances – this was an unusual event where donations actually exceeded the artist compensation. If that gets to be a habit, we will be http://www.bryanbowers.com/able to increase the honorarium we offer our artists. I’d really like to be able to do that. Kudos again this month to Jerry McGough, for booking excellent talent, to Sylvia Williams for getting the word out to pull in an audience, and to George Williams for making the sound system work so well. This was our first performance in several years to provide stage th monitoring for the performers, and I could tell that April 26 7:00 PM they appreciated the effort.

If limited to discussing only one subject with Ben, I think it would be his almanac, Poor Richard, which he started in 1732 at age twenty-six. Almanacs had been around at least 200 years before Poor Richard made his appearance in Ben’s first edition. Without apology, Richard explained to his audience that he was in the business of forecasting the weather, moon cycles, the highs and lows of the tides of the ocean, recipes, poems, maxims, and odd sayings of different sorts for the money. The plain truth, Richard said, was that he was excessive poor and his wife, though a good woman was excessive proud and in need of good cooking pot. Ben, a very early advocate of women’s rights, allowed Richard’s wife opportunity, in the next year’s edition, to answer the charge of being excessive proud and to take some shots at her husband. Ben was mindful, in his second edition, to express appreciation for the money earned by the success of the first edition, so successful that Richard’s wife had been able to not only acquire a cook pot but also food to go in the pot. Not only were they able to afford the cook pot, Richard was able to purchase a good, used man’s coat that was of such good appearance it could be worn in public. To whet reader interest, Ben’s first edition predicted the death of one of his almanac publishing competitors the following year. The competitor refused to assist in the prediction by continuing to live and publish his own almanac. Ben, in later editions, insisted his competitor was dead and the insistence to the contrary was good evidence that one could not rely on the truthfulness of the other publication. Carl Van Doren, in his Pulitzer Prize winning Benjamin Franklin, has a collection of Richard’s expressions spanning more than twenty-five years, including: a. HUNGER NEVER SAW BAD BREAD. b. GREAT TALKERS, LITTLE DOERS. c. LIGHT PURSE, HEAVY HEART. d. ONE GOOD HUSBAND IS WORTH TWO GOOD WIVES, FOR THE SCARCER THINGS ARE, THE MORE THEY ARE VALUED. e. HE IS A FOOL WHO MAKES HIS DOCTOR HIS HEIR. f. GOD HEALS, THE DOCTOR TAKES THE FEE. g.

  • Rockin' Music Sets the Stage for Third Annual Blacksburg Brew Do Festival
    NEWS RELEASE Diane Akers, CEcD President (540) 443-2008 [email protected] www.blacksburgbrewdo.com ROCKIN’ MUSIC SETS THE STAGE FOR THIRD ANNUAL BLACKSBURG BREW DO FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 24, NOON – 6PM FIRST & MAIN SHOPPING DISTRICT, BLACKSBURG Presenting Sponsor: WSLS 10 Platinum Sponsor: Cumulus Broadcasting Blacksburg, Virginia, September 1, 2011 –Get ready for a day of tasty brews and rockin’ tunes at this year’s Blacksburg Brew Do, a craft beer festival. Three high energy bands are slated to take the stage on September 24, starting at noon with New River Valley’s own Laura Beth and Clover Hollow. 2011 will mark the band’s second appearance at Brew Do after being a festival favorite in 2009. Next up, The Jugbusters, a Southern String band with a groovin’ mix of fiddle, banjo and guitar, will play from 2pm – 4pm, and this year’s headline act from 4pm – 6pm is Ashleigh Caudill & Narrow Gauge. This traditional blue grass band may have their roots in Beer City USA’s, Ashville, NC, but they travel nation-wide crooning both original and old-time favorites. Ashleigh grew up in a musical family, learned to sing almost before she could walk, and began playing bass with her family band at an early age. In 2003 she received a scholarship to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, said goodbye to her small hometown of Montrose Colorado and relocated to Boston Massachusetts where she was quickly accepted into the New England acoustic music scene. While climbing the ranks of freelance bassists, she discovered her love of songwriting. Shortly after releasing her debut solo album, "I'm not Fallin," Bluegrass Unlimited declared her "a voice to be reckoned with." She has recently relocated to Asheville North Carolina where she was awarded first place in bass, and vocals in the North Carolina Mountain State Fair Bluegrass Competitions.

  • Béla Fleck the Bluegrass Sessions: Tales from the Acoustic Planet, Volume 2 (Warner Bros.)
    Béla Fleck The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales from the Acoustic Planet, Volume 2 (Warner Bros.) Although banjo badass Béla Fleck is releasing The Bluegrass Sessions as Volume 2 of Tales from the Acoustic Planet, the subtitle could be misleading. True, it chronologically follows his 1995 solo album, and it even includes many of the same musicians. Musically, however, a more accurate name might have been Drive Volume 2, after the 1988 album released before Fleck's main group, the Flecktones, formed. Drive featured almost identical guest musicians as Sessions–Jerry Douglas on Dobro, Tony Rice on guitar, Sam Bush on mandolin, Stuart Duncan on fiddle and Mark Schatz on bass fiddle–and had a similar sound. Of the three, Tales is the oddball. The lineup is the same as Sessions and Drive (without Schatz), but additional collaborations with Chick Corea, Branford Marsalis and Bruce Hornsby, as well as Flecktones Future Man and Victor Wooten, give it a mainstream jazz edge. The first volume of Tales was mainly an unplugged breakdown of Fleck's trademark compositional experimentation; Volume 2 is more conventional, with brief moments of modern weirdness, such as track 16, a trippy spoken word that asks, "Do you have room in your heart for the five-string banjo?" The more classic vibe could come from traditional arrangements of "Foggy Mountain Special" and "Polka on the Banjo," but new tunes such as "Ode to Earl" have that same rootsy feel. Even the Latin-flavored "Spanish Point" and the mysterious "Katmandu" don't wander too far from that conventional down-home flavor.
