Okay, I’m a short fat guy with a baby face and wings and I’m a killer shot with a bow and arrow – youse would be wise to take my advice for a snappy date – for I am connected to the light coming back into the world, to ancient rituals, (sounds like a famous novelist) secret symbols etcetera – here is my list of ways to make your love happy in February:

1) On Tuesday, Feb. 2 (Groundhog Day!), it’s Shuck A Buck night at Jumpin’ Jay’s – enjoy oysters and hit the film, Red Cliff, at The Music Hall. Trust me, you’ll find spring comes early!

2) It’s Caribbean night at The Music Hall with The Wailers on Feb. 3, get something with mango at The Blue Mermaid Island Grill, go to the show and see what happens. (I’m not telling.)

3) A classic makes for classic memories – so go to Anneke Jans and order the classic bistro meal (Bang Island mussels with pomme frites) and then go to Joshua Bell and Jeremy Denk on Feb. 4.

4) Monterey Jazz Festival On Tour with Regina Carter and Kurt Elling is on Feb. 10: find your fedora or your best Cuban high heels (or both, we putti are open-minded) settle in for a smoky, sexy evening of the best jazz going. Eat and shop any-where that you get a discount with your membership

(they’re all good and you can find the list at www.themusichall.org/membership/discounts.asp)

5) Get tickets to a dish with a voice like golden syrup shot through with Brazilian hot sparks: Eliane Elias Feb. 14 at The Music Hall, look up at me and wink from your seat. (Hint: I’m in the proscenium arch). Are you in love yet?

Date Night @ The Music Hallwith Valentine’s Day on the horizon, our thoughts turn to love at The music Hall. we wondered about the dating scene here. we’d heard a rumor that music Hall Board member David Hills took his wife Catherine mclaughlin-Hills on their first date here. we wanted the skinny on dating at the hall!

David: When Catherine and I first got together 12 years ago, we came on a date to The Music Hall. Catherine had just moved here from San Francisco. I remember we saw a live show but I’m not sure where we went before or after.

Catherine: David had deep roots here – having been here since 1974 – but I was new. The Music Hall ended up being a great place for someone new to meet people.

David: There’s such a sense of community and a sense of intimacy here. We’ve had some incredible intimate moments at the Hall. You can hold hands and laugh and cry together (which we do!). You can find out whether or not your date is a good dancer or if they have musical aptitude at all by how they do or don’t move to the music!

Catherine: I find The Music Hall to be inspira-tional, an almost spiritual experience at times. Greg Mortenson is a great example.

David: Now that we’re married, we continue to come to the Hall – we go from the intimacy of our marriage to the intimacy of a community experi-ence on the Seacoast. And, we love going to Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Cafe or Flatbread Pizza before a show or other restaurants in the area. Of course, sometimes when Catherine’s pager goes off and she leaves to deliver a baby, I get abandoned at the Hall. But the bottom line is The Music Hall is a great place to bring a date!

Feel the Love!

Here&Nowthe Music hall and the seacoast Community

David Hills and Catherine McLaughlin-Hills

As we go to press, our thoughts are with our brothers and sisters in Haiti, and we heart-ily support all Seacoast efforts to assist them. We know that in our own neighborhood, we have people in need and a great organiza-tion that assists them.

It’s time for our annual Salvation Army food drive. Please bring non-perishable items only to the Found-ers Lobby during February – there will be baskets for your donation. According to Salvation Army Major Chet Emmons, while they receive generous donations during the winter holidays, there is a continued need for support that Music Hall patrons can help to fill. And, with so many February events at the Hall there will be ample opportunity for patrons to make their contributions. On behalf of the Salvation Army and The Music Hall, thank you.

Music Hall Patrons Aid Salvation Army In February bY THÉRÈSE LAGAMMA, Programming Manager

I had never thought of myself as a Jazz fan or as anyone who knew anything about Jazz. I remem-ber being formally introduced when my husband played “Take Five” for me. I loved it. I didn’t real-ize then that when my mother had us watch Louis Armstrong on television or when I became addicted to Ella Fitzgerald singing “Mack the Knife” and “Lullabye of Birdland” on her album with Duke El-lington at the Cote D’Azur, I was listening to jazz. Years later, when I started singing, I was asked to do a few songs at a jazz-themed event, so I re-searched Jazz standards and was surprised to find so many songs that I knew from my childhood. I se-lected Burt Bacharach’s “Walk on By” that brought me to tears as a teen every time I heard Dionne Warwick sing it. Two years ago, when we hosted Monterey Jazz Festival’s 50th Anniversary, I signed up for the curtain speech. Back stage I struck up a conversation with one of the musicians. Only later did I realize it was Terence Blanchard, the legend-ary New Orleans jazz trumpeter. What a character

– as I found out at the Member After Party – and what a concert! Last year, I was watching Renee Fleming on Elvis Costello’s television show talking about her favorite singer – Kurt Elling. When the MJF CD arrived here, I popped it into my car and have been playing him over and over singing “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” – wonderful! I’m finally starting to connect the dots. I’m singing Jazz songs – I’ve added “Summertime” and “Over the Rainbow” and “Since I Fell For You” to my set list which was predominantly blues. I’m not going to miss the Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour Wednes-day, February 10 and yes, I’m doing that curtain speech again – wonder if I can meet Mr. Elling back stage?!

Just Announced! Writers on a New England Stage: Michael Lewis

in keeping with ancient Celtic “Feast of lights” traditions during the month of February, i thought it would be fun to kindle the flames within, so to speak, during the dark of winter. so i spoke to an expert in lighting to see how we can bring some light into our lives in these modern times. An interview with Jim pender who is executive Vp, Coo of The lighting Center at Rockingham electric.

What tips would you give to keep your home looking bright?

It all starts at the light source itself. The traditional incandescent light bulb that you still find in most homes has been virtually unchanged since Edison’s time. To-day’s technology offers so many different light sources that should be considered when lighting a home prop-erly. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s) are an excellent choice for general ambient lighting; they provide a high volume of light while using only a fraction of the elec-tricity of incandescent sources and last up to ten times longer. CFL’s also have a more balanced color spectrum resulting in better color rendition – a good choice for task lighting. Light-emitting diodes (LED’s) are another high quality, energy efficient option. They should last more than 30,000 hours, compared to 1,000 hours for incandescent and 10,000 hours for a CFL. This product is very appealing in applications where lamp replace-ment is difficult such as cove lighting and cathedral ceilings.

What are the most energy efficient lighting fixtures and bulbs?

Compact fluorescent lighting is the most popular means of converting to energy efficient lighting today. This conversion can be as simple as changing out the light bulb of an existing fixture or installing a new compact fluorescent fixture. If you are considering compact fluo-rescent light fixtures, look for the ENERGYSTAR* rating, the highest standard of energy efficiency. We carry many brands of Energy Star Lighting – Seagull, Kichler, Murry Feiss and Philips compact fluorescent lamps.

What is the #1 rule of thumb that everyone should know about home lighting?

Dim as much as possible. It allows you complete control of lighting, flexibility for different activities, versatility, reduces energy consumption and extends lamp life.

What are the new trends in lighting? How does solar lighting fit into the future?

While CFL’s have been around for quite awhile, LED’s are definitely the new trend. Unfortunately with any new technology comes the issue of price and LED’s are expensive. That being said, there are still many reasons to consider LED’s.

Solar Lighting is another option that may be considered for certain applications. Although it is environmentally friendly, we have found it often produces an insignifi-cant amount of light. Being very dependent on the sun, our climate may not be the best option for solar lighting year round. As technology with this product continues to develop, we may see a more reliable solar solution in the future.

bY MARGARET TALCOTT, Associate Producer, Writers on a New England Stage

When author-journalist Michael Lewis steps up to the podium April 7, there will be friends and family cheer-ing in the front row – Seacoast residents, Music Hall members and staff who have been helping to secure his appearance. We touched base with two of them to gain their insight on the writer and latest work, The Big short: inside the Doomsday machine.

Music Hall member Nancy Noyes worked on the same Salomon Brothers sales desk as Lewis. “I love Michael’s style of writing. He looks at things in the funniest way. My favorite book is liar’s poker, the story of his time at Salomon Brothers. moneyball is another favorite which I believe everyone with even the slightest interest in baseball must read. The bottom line is that Michael finds the truth and humor in everything. I can’t wait to hear about his new book chronicling last year’s market collapse. And, I can’t wait to see Michael – it’s going to be a great night!”

Membership Manager Lauren Lenox is related to Michael Lewis: his wife Tabitha Soren, the superstar MTV newscaster, is Lenox’s second cousin. Says Lenox: “Michael has certainly been an exciting addition to our family! I first met him as Tabitha’s fiancé when I was 13 – at that time I was disappointed that she was marrying an author and not a rock star…but, after reading The New New Thing, about the dot com boom in Silicon Valley, I realized why he is considered one of the best non-fiction writers of our time. He has an amazing way of making complex topics sound like casual party con-versation. I became addicted to reading his hilarious Slate.com articles about his kids – and I’m convinced that being connected to the author of moneyball and The Blind side got me asked out on some dates in

college! We’re all so proud of him (and the success of The Blind side movie) – my whole family will be here to cheer him on!”

wRiTeRs oN A New eNGlAND sTAGe: michael lewis will take place on wednesday, April 7, at 7:30pm. Tickets go on sale to music Hall members Friday, Feb. 5, at noon and to the public on Friday, Feb. 12, at noon.

The party will be held at Jumpin’ Jay’s Fish Café, immediately following that evening’s Solas performance at The Music Hall. All members are welcome to join us and meet the artists! Look for more details in the March Now @ The music Hall.
