We would like to bring to your attention some new stores and restaurants in the Elmwood, as compiled by Beverley Doane of CENA. ASHBY MARKET PLACE located at 2642 Ashby, next to Focal Point, opened in October. The proprietor, Ramizch, carries a line of organic foods, drinks and produce, as well as international foods, cheeses and dairy products. The market looks petite from the frontage, but it goes back 75 feet and is a small supermarket, convenient for the last minute shopper. SUMMER KITCHEN BAKERY at 2944 College Ave., next to Ici, is no ordinary "take out". Step inside and see the impressive open kitchen with 3 or 4 cooks preparing daily specials and prepared dinners to take home. Tempting sweets are on view for the customers waiting in line for ice cream at Ici. MRS. DALLOWAY'S BOOKS, 2904 College Ave. Local District 8 residents Marion Abbott and Ann Leyhe recently expanded their bookstore by one-third, taking over part of the former Elmwood Pharmacy. The new space is stunning with windows designed by Ann Leyhe's husband, made to match the original design (John Bischoff, 1921). The cafe in the former Elmwood Pharmacy is in the process of remodeling. No expense has been spared here, and Ozzie's counter will return to its original marble top and stools, and will be ready "by the end of the year", says Kara Hammond, former manager of Fanny's Cafe on San Pablo. NEW MARQUEE ON ELMWOOD THEATER Check out the new "Elmwood" art deco-ish neon marquee on the Elmwood Theater. It looks elegant at night, so be sure to take a look and take in a movie as well. UPCOMING ELMWOOD HOLIDAY EVENTS The Elmwood Merchant's Association would like to invite you to participate in festive holiday activities in the Elmwood. See the below calendar of events for more details. District 8 Artist Spotlight OAKLAND INTERFAITH GOSPEL CHOIR Carl Resnikoff, a district 8 resident, is a member of the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir which will be performing a Holiday Concert Saturday under the direction of Terrance Kelly, December 5th at 7:30 p.m. The award-winning Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir is a multiracial, interfaith group that regularly performs throughout the Bay Area.

NELL ROBINSON Hilary Perkins, a District 8 musician is performing at 8 p.m., Thursday, December 10th at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse at 2020 Addison Street, Berkeley. When Hilary Perkins decided to pursue her dream of a singing career, she took the name of her grandmother, Nell Robinson, to honor her Alabama Roots. In a high-spirited show celebrating the release of her debut CD, Loango, at the Freight and Salvage, Nell serves up fresh, honky-tonk- infused bluegrass and country, backed by an all-star bluegrass and country band featuring Jim Nunally, Keith Little, Andrew Conklin, and other very special guests.

Members of the Texas Sheiks are Geoff Muldaur, Cindy Cashdollar, Johnny Nicholas, Suzy Thompson and Bruce Hughes. Suzy Thompson is a District 8 resident, former City Arts Commissioner, and a well known artist. Suzy's website address is http://www.ericandsuzy.com/schedule.htm. This is the amazing band that Geoff Muldaur put together in order to distract Austin guitar hero Stephen Bruton from his battle with cancer (unfortunately he lost that battle, and died last May) and the musicians who came to join Stephen in this project were Cindy Cashdollar, Johnny Nicholas and Bruce Hughes, plus Jim Kweskin and Suzy. The chemistry between all the musicians is truly magical. You can buy tickets at the Freight's box office or at http://www.freightandsalvage.org. Airplane Noise Several years ago a citizen group sued and reached a settlement agreement with the Oakland Airport to minimize airplane noise over residential areas. This organization Keep Jets Over the Bay (KJOB) is committed to protecting the "Silent 7" departure route from the Oakland Airport. Jets departing from Oakland are expected to avoid passing over Berkeley, between the hours of 10 PM to 7 AM. If you are bothered by loud jets flying low over Berkeley, you can file a complaint with the Oakland Airport Noise hotline at 577-4194. Margery Eriksson, Berkeley resident ([email protected]) is the KJOB chairperson. Stimulus Funding Flips The Solar Switch On The City of Berkeley has received over $100,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to encourage solar locally. The City of Berkeley is one of sixteen cities nationwide to be granted the Solar America Cities Special Project Award for the purpose of spurring the adoption of solar installations. The economic stimulus funding from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) allows the City of Berkeley to support and enhance two existing programs--SmartSolar and the online Berkeley Solar Map-- to provide education and technical assistance directly to residents interested in implementing solar at their homes and businesses. Through this award, the City of Berkeley is recognized for its innovative response to addressing the specific barriers to solar adoption and for its leadership in increasing the use of renewable energy. The City of Berkeley will split the $108,500 award between the SmartSolar and Berkeley Solar Map projects. SmartSolar is a program of the nonprofit Community Energy Services Corporation (www.ebenergy.org). SmartSolar provides free energy efficiency and solar advising to Berkeley property owners and consults with its clients throughout their consideration and installation of energy projects. In its first year SmartSolar has provided over 35 homes and businesses with site- specific analysis of which energy efficiency and solar upgrades may be good investments.

  • Biography (PDF)
    Johnny Nicholas Biography by Jacy Meador Nestled deep in the Texas Hill Country, just outside of Fredericksburg, you’ll find a former gas station turned restaurant & music venue named the Hill Top Café. A visit to this eclectic café gives a good idea of the worldly, yet down-home nature of Johnny Nicholas’ unique style. Built piece by piece, recipe by recipe, and song by song by Johnny Nicholas and his beloved late wife Brenda, the Hill Top Café is covered in music memorabilia and old photos from his nearly five decades of touring. The décor, home-cooked food, and tunes on the old jukebox give a glimpse into the vast melting pot of Americana that define not only the food at the Café, but the incomparable musical style of Johnny Nicholas. Often referred to as a ‘bluesman,’ to classify Johnny Nicholas as strictly a blues artist is quite a misnomer. Nicholas’ signature style of music might be better defined as deep roots music. His musical roots grow deep and wide – spanning the many musical traditions found across the country. Drawing from the wealth of musical influences found in areas such as Chicago, Louisiana and Texas – Nicholas’ original music stirs together elements of folk, blues, western-swing, jazz, Cajun and country. While his dexterity on the guitar, husky growl of a baritone, and talent on the 88’s make him well at home in the world of blues and jazz, Nicholas’ skill as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer of authentic Americana music is not to be understated. Having written “the first song he was proud of” in the early 1970s at the encouragement of his friend and mentor Robert Lockwood Jr.

  • Johnny Nicholas Is One of the Best Bluesmen Ever, Black Or White
    “JOHNNY NICHOLAS IS ONE OF THE BEST BLUESMEN EVER, BLACK OR WHITE. ” ~ STEPHEN BRUTON When it comes to Americana Roots Music and especially the Blues, the late great Stephen Bruton knew what he was talking about. Those who knew him knew that he always got to the point. His description of his long time friend and musical comrade in arms is succinct and quite a heady compliment, but then, Johnny Nicholas is an amazing talent. For four decades Johnny’s consummate musicianship and vocal skills have graced live music scenes across the country and abroad. He has toured, performed and recorded with many true blues and Americana Roots Music legends including: Mississippi Fred McDowell, Robert Lockwood Jr., Johnny Shines, Big Walter Horton, Roosevelt Sykes, Nathan Abshire, Robert Pete Williams, Eddie Taylor, Billy Boy Arnold, Hound Dog Taylor, Johnny Young, Houston Stackhouse, and Boogie Woogie Red. He recorded and toured with Johnny Shines and Snooky Pryor, producing and playing guitar on their W.C. Handy Award-winning album Back to the Country. He was a lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with Asleep at the Wheel when they won their first of many Grammy Awards. He gave Blues Guitar Icon Ronnie Earl his first gig in the now legendary band Guitar Johnny and the Rhythm Rockers. He has also shared the stage and performed with the likes of Howlin Wolf, BB King, Muddy Waters, Bonnie Rait, Eric Clapton, Pops and Mavis Staples, Delbert McClinton, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard,and Jimmie Vaughan among many others. He can wow a festival crowd of thousands or a small room of devotees.
