On the Cover: TREE of Knowledge and Delight is the title of Northfi eld’s newest public sculpture. Created by high school students under the mentor-ship of St. Olaf art professor emeritus Mac Gimse, this is the fi rst of what the Northfi eld Arts and Culture Commission hopes is an annual infusion of young artists’ contribu-tions to the community that will, in time, grow into a sculpture garden at the high school.

Best of Broadway and FilmJuly 1, 2pm; Paradise Center for the Arts, FaribaultSouthern Minnesota’s best singers are back again for a fourth time to belt out those Broadway tunes. Always an audience favorite and sell-out show, the Best of Broad-way Series this year will have all your favorite Broadway classics and those great classics from the big screen. Tickets: $15 members, $19 nonmembers, $8 children under 12.

Into the WoodsJuly 20-22, 26-29, Aug. 2-5; Th-Sa 7:30pm, Su 2pm; Paradise Center for the Arts, FaribaultMusic and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by James Lapine and directed by Gary Briggle. An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch…who raps? They’re all among the cockeyed char-acters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibil-ity and the stories we tell our children. In collaboration with the Northfi eld Arts Guild Theater. Tickets: $15 adults, $10 children 12 and under, $1 off per-ticket for groups of ten or more for the same performance. Sponsored by Faribault Foods.

By Rich Larson

With apologies to many of my friends, I’d like to nominate Ray Coudret as the hardest working musician in Northfi eld. He plays in two very popular local bands, Area 51 and Fred the Bear, he’s a math teacher at Northfi eld High School, and he was just named the director of the high school’s biennial Rock and Roll Revivalextravaganza. This is a busy guy. So, it was no surprise that getting him to meet me down in Dennison at Johnny Angel’s (try the fried mushrooms) was tough. The reason wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, though. “We moved last week, and I couldn’t fi nd my phone charger. I had a dead battery for three days.”

Even Superman has to charge his phone, I guess.

If you’re a patron of music in this town – and, since you’re reading this article, I’m going to assume you are – you’ve prob-ably seen Ray play. His band Area 51 has been around for something like 15 years, in various forms and confi gurations. “Glenn Bourdot asked me if I wanted to go to an open mic night at the Center of the Universe Coffee Shop. And then the previous owners of the Grand had an open mic night, and we went to that. That’s where I met (saxophon-ist extraordinaire) Dan Andreason. And then the owners of the Grand asked us if we wanted to play. So we got together with Rich Hanson, and Al Agee played bass, and Dan joined us. We were the house band for the Grand. We went by the name Scattered Skies, which is my favorite name for a band, and I’m gonna get that name back and use it, because I love it. The concept was, ‘y’know those big puffy clouds? Sometimes they get together and sometimes they spread across all over’. That was Al’s concept, and it’s a good one. Bands are funny things. Sometimes they get together and some-times they come apart and that’s what it’s been since the begin-ning.”

The alumni list for Area 51 is impressive and includes such local luminaries as Joel Cooper, Carey Langer and Barb Piper. Ray – along with Andreason – has been the constant. They can churn

out fun, uptempo songs that everybody knows for hours on end. No local band has everybody up on their feet and dancing more consistently than that one. They were voted the best band of 2010 in the Entertainment Guide’s “Best of Northfi eld” poll. They’re one of those bands you just want to go see to blow off some steam.

But that’s not enough for our man Ray. About a year ago, he got together with Rick Roy, a friend of his from back home in Hallock, MN (which Ray points out is farther from Northfi eld than Kansas City and Chicago), to form Fred the Bear. “It’s a more personal band,” he says. “We’re hoping to put together a cd of all original music.”

And that’s just what he does for fun. He has a day job teaching math (my daughter tells me he’s as well liked by the kids as a math teacher can be) and he’s been handed the keys to a civic trust, Rock and Roll Revival, a wildly popular event with both the students and the townsfolk. Tom McKown, the English teacher who brought the show to Northfi eld in 1996, left to teach at the US military base in Guam last summer, creating a gigantic void. You’d think Ray would have been the obvious successor, but it wasn’t quite that easy. “I didn’t know if I was going to get the job, but I’ve wanted it for a long time. It combines all these things I’m interested in – I work with kids, I do music. I would always talk to Tom, and ask him what his thought process was putting things together. I picked his brain a lot. But there were other good people who interviewed, like

REALLY good people. I don’t know what it came down to in the end, but I’m really glad it was me. And I’m really excited because all the key people are back. Bob Gregory-Bjorklund is back. Craig Wasner. Linda Wasner. Sherry Setchell. I don’t think I can screw this up, because they’re all there. They aren’t going to let me screw it up. In fact they’ve told me that much.”

There’s one more project he’s involved in that he can’t really discuss just yet. It’s a concert series at the NAG theatre involving people that you’ve heard of, some from Northfi eld and some not. You’ll be reading more about it in this space, but not until after I buy my season tickets.

Throughout our conversation, Ray was quick to talk about so many other musicians in town that he admires: Bill McGrath, Glenn Bourdot, Jon Manners, Dave Drentlaw, Wendy Smith, and literally dozens of others. All are vital

and wonderful contributors to the musical culture of this town. I’m guessing every one of them would tell you that Ray is one of those guys that keeps things going. His passion for playing and presenting great music is exceptional. We’re lucky to have a guy like him not just playing for us, but teaching our kids as well. There’s a bumper sticker that says “If you can read this, thank a teacher.” Next time you hear music in town, thank Ray Coudret.

Cello: An American ExperienceDescribed as the instrument closest to the human voice, it’s the cello’s ability to evoke such intimacy that lets us hear our own feel-ings within its music. And if you’re in the vicinity of St. Olaf Col-lege from July 22 to Aug. 5, the opportunity to enjoy the cello in all its infi nite glory is presented at Cello: An American Experience Recital Series. Featuring extraordinary cellists – both emerging and master – this nine-day recital opens on Sunday, July 22 at 7:30 with a show by world-renowned Tanya Remenikova. What follows includes performances by Josh Koestenbaum, associate principal cellist at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Bruce Uchimura, West-ern Michigan professor of music and conductor of the University Symphony Orchestra, and Mark Summer, Turtle Island String Quartet cellist. And don’t forget the incredibly talented students. For tickets and information, go to celloanamericanexperience.com.

Young At ArtIf you fi nd yourself down-town – ok, make sure you fi nd yourself downtown – stop at the end of Third Street, where it bottoms out onto Division, and look. Up, toward the library. Stand-ing on a cement fl ower-bed, with arms reaching high, is the joyful result of the Northfi eld Young Sculptor’s Project, titled Tree of Knowledge and Delight – a student-created art piece under the guidance of St Olaf professor emeritus and well-known sculptor Mac Gimse. Produced in col-laboration with the Northfi eld Arts and Culture Commission with a grant from SEMAC, the exuberant, multi-colored sculpture is the work of ten talented student artists from Northfi eld High School. It will sit in its present space for only a year, at which point it will be replaced by next year’s work, and will go on to form the foundation of what art teacher Christie Clark hopes is a permanent sculpture garden at the High School. Student art downtown, and a student-created sculpture garden at school. Two more reasons to love this town.

How Does Your Garden Grow?Whoever said genius is one part inspiration and 99 parts perspira-tion must have been talking about gardening, that most backbreak-ing, faith-reliant, fi nicky-weather dependent vocation. But then again, it’s all about the results. To see the best marriages of nature and nurture, join the Northfi eld Garden Tour on July 14 and 15, 10am-4pm and 11am-4pm respectively, when six of the area’s best gardens – as well as the Northfi eld Retirement Center – welcome you with warm and leafy embrace. Adding to the pleasure are the visual artists stationed at each garden, creating another layer of human art. Tickets are available in advance at Knecht’s, -eco gardens and other areas downtown. For more information, call Elizabeth Olson at 507/303-3396 or go to northfi eldgardenclub.org and click on events.

Getting Down With a High Lonesome GrooveIs there anything better than an outdoor music festival cradled in rolling bluffs, under Minnesota summer skies? How about a festival that includes some of the best in today’s roots music with artists like Lucy Kaplansky, Bill Stains and Natalia Zuckerman, among others? And if the venue is the outdoor amphitheater at the picturesque Hobgoblin Music Barn, just outside Red Wing, and includes kid-friendly activities – including puppet shows and live music for little ears – you have Red House Record’s Barnfest. Held rain or shine on Saturday, Aug. 4 from 1 to 7:30pm, this celebra-tion of Americana music is a multi-sensory reminder of what makes this region so very special. For tickets and information, go to redhouserecords.com, or call 651/644-4161.

Seeing Characters in the WoodsWhat happens when two excellent community theaters combine forces, talent and time to ask the musical question, “What’s after ‘Happily Ever After’?” If the joined organizations are the Northfi eld Arts Guild and the Paradise Center for the Arts, and the show is the beloved Steven Sondheim songfest Into the Woods, the answer is something very special. Following various “the ends” in the lives of Cinderella, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood, this boister-ous production is brought to life in the elegantly restored theater at the Paradise Center of the Arts, downtown Faribault. The show opens July 20, with performances through Aug. 5. For tickets and information, call Northfi eld Arts Guild, 507/645-8877, or Paradise Center for the Arts, 507/332-7372. And watch out for the Wolf; we hear he’s still around….

Tel Budd, Northfi eld Character and Oldest BarberI wrote two paragraphs about Henry Telford Budd, known as “Tel,” in my third “Historic Happenings” column in April of 2007. I was writing about events in past Aprils and had found this ad in the Northfi eld News: “Masquerade Ball! Easter Monday, April 7, 1890, at the Opera House. Tickets $1, gallery 50 cents with the privilege of dancing after 11 o’clock. Everybody invited. H.T. Budd.”

I discovered that besides sponsoring balls in the 19th century, Budd was reputed to be the nation’s oldest active barber in the 20th century, a claim which made it into “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” This famous syndicated cartoon feature was read daily by 80 million readers at the height of its popularity.

Budd, who was truly a town character, was born May 23, 1858, in Waterford, into a pioneer farm family. On Sept. 8, 1870, when Budd was 12, the story goes that Budd’s father, Stephen Budd, took his

son straight from plowing the fi eld to be apprenticed as a barber to Tel’s uncle, Salvatore Raineri, who had a barbershop starting in 1867 at 319 Division St., in the Gunderson Building (now housing Goodbye Blue Monday).

Raineri comes down through history as a town character himself. An Italian immigrant, Raineri fought in the Civil War and, according to his obituary in the Northfi eld News of Oct. 27, 1894, “He saw a great deal of active service, for wherever any fi ghting was to be done there the captain always wanted to be.” Raineri (who had married Budd’s aunt, Sarah Budd) was said to be one of Northfi eld’s most “active and best known citizens,” a “loyal member of nearly every secret society represented in Northfi eld” who “took especial delight in everything that required a uniform and military drill.” Budd once declared, “Raineri was the best barber that ever lived.”

Budd spent fi ve years as an apprentice, then was a barber in Red Wing and Lake City before returning to Northfi eld to establish

and would much prefer to be leaning over his barber’s chair.”

Over the years, Budd was in the news for reasons other than his tonsorial longevity. On Jan. 15, 1910, the headline on the front page of the Northfi eld News read, “By narrow margin, H.T. Budd Struck by Rock Island Train Escapes with Life.” Budd had a “miraculous escape from death or serious injury when he was overtaken and thrown from the track by the northbound Rock Island passenger train” in the course of taking a short cut to his shop. An upturned coat collar prevented him from hearing the train approach, he was struck in the back and “thrown with great force to the icy space be-tween the main and side tracks.” Despite great pain from the shock and badly scratched face and hands, Budd recovered and missed only two weeks of work at the shop.

Just a few months later, Budd was back in the news. According to the Northfi eld News of April 30, 1910, Budd sued the mayor and aldermen of Northfi eld in district court for having granted him a license to operate a billiard and pool table, which was then annulled for no reason. Budd asked for a “balm to his injured reputation and loss of business” in the amount of $1,500, claiming that “he has been characterized as a lawbreaker and an undesirable citizen and that he ran a disorderly place.” When that case was dismissed, he brought a new suit in March of 1911.

Budd, who had married Ellen McGuire on Nov. 25, 1879, became a widower on Feb. 21, 1931, when she died. Four of their children sur-vived her (Roy, William, Grace and Helen) with two sons, Howard and Leo, having preceded her in death.

On May 25, 1939, the column “Heard on the Square” in the North-fi eld News said, “The barbers of Northfi eld got together to give a party for the ‘oldest barber in the United States’ on the occasion of the 81st birthday anniversary of H.T. Budd.” Budd’s inclusion in Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” column as the “oldest active barber in the United States” was mentioned, along with his claim that “he has spent more hours behind the barber chair than any other, living or dead.” His record at that time was 69 years as a barber, with 61 years at the same location. The story noted that he would spend time in the coming summer visiting nearby towns trying to win a hair tonic contest sponsored by the Lucky Tiger tonic company with his own version he had been making for 60 years. A barbershop quartet entertained and “Mr. Budd gave a demonstration of his hair restorer and also put fancy curls and waves of the older days in the hair of the barbers.”

Erling Kindem of Farmington told me that Budd usually wore a toupee at work. But one day when he was not wearing it he recom-mended his hair restorer to a new customer, saying, “Just try it! It works real good!” Budd then went into another room, put on his hairpiece and returned, saying to the astonished man, “Look at how good it is!” Kindem also recalled a time when his mother gave him ten cents to get a haircut. Kindem protested, “Ma, it’s 15 cents for kids!” His mother said, “Tell him it’s all you got.” Budd accepted the dime, possibly not wanting to lose a customer to barber Ed Gibbs across the street. Kindem remembered Budd telling him that even though he was in Lake City when the James-Younger Gang tried to rob the Northfi eld Bank in 1876, he was able to hear about it 20 minutes after it happened. Budd’s explanation to the boy: “telegra-phy.”

Budd made it past the mark of 70 continuous years of work-ing as a barber when he died of a stroke at the age of 82 on the night of Monday, Oct. 14, 1940. Though he had felt slightly ill, he had worked at his shop through the Friday before his death. His front-page obituary in the Northfi eld News on Oct. 17 said that for

a barbershop on West Third Street on April 15, 1878, where he worked tirelessly for the next 62 years. (The site of his shop was taken down when highway 3 was relocated through the West Side in 1958.)

The Northfi eld News of Sept. 6, 1935, quoted Budd as saying that blacks ran the barber shops in Minnesota when he started and just a few white men cut hair and shaved whiskers. Then barbers’ colleges sprang up teaching the trade for about $100 and whites displaced blacks. Budd said in this story that the top fi gure he ever earned from any customer was 85 cents, “which he believes is as high a sum as any barber should extract at any time.”

Budd’s usual hours were 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, until 11 p.m. on Saturdays and on Sundays from 7 until 11 a.m. or noon. He once recalled, “I’ve come down Sunday mornings and found ‘em on the step waiting for me.” Sunday was a big day of business from farmers, whose budget often allowed for only one haircut a year.

A Northfi eld News article on Feb. 8, 1890, praised Budd as a “natu-ral artist in tonsorial work” who “consequently has a large and growing trade.” He also ran the only public bath house and carried a “case of choice cigars” for his customers. In these early days, Budd recalled in a Northfi eld News story of April 19, 1929, a ten-cent shave was the “chief item of business” and “haircuts were genuine shearing bees,” not simply trims. His customary attire of frock coat and derby was mentioned, “for he believes in maintaining the dig-nity of his profession.” (His 1880’s style was duly noted in Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” as well.)

When Budd was celebrating his 65th year as a barber, the Northfi eld News ran a story on Sept. 6, 1935, which said that early in the cen-tury Budd gave a special rate of ten cents for a haircut. Budd “hung up a record of 668 haircuts and at least twice that number of shaves during that month.” In the interview, Budd said he preferred hair cutting to shaving and added, “I was as good a hair dresser in the days when I was a young bub starting in my own shop as there was in the state, and I knew how to hold the comb and shears. About thirty young men learned their trade in my shop. Today, after 65 years as a barber my eyes and nerves are nearly as good as they ever were, and except for some trouble with my legs I would not know I am getting old.” He said he had no intentions of retiring and though closing earlier now, he “fi nds things dull during the long evenings

62 years his W. Third Street shop saw “few modern devices,” with the exception of running water and electric clippers, and “it stands today much as it was when opened in 1878.” The story noted that in the preceding year he had given a customer a haircut while blind-folded, the same style the man had gotten from Budd in 1903. Just the past summer he had cut the hair of Robert Lanphear, three years old, great-great-grandson of Abel Lanphear, one of Budd’s fi rst cus-tomers in the 1870s from Waterford (thus serving fi ve generations).

Budd’s obituary listed survivors as sons R.H. Budd and W.E. Budd, daughters Grace Nixon and Helen Fink, eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, a sister and many nieces and nephews.

There are quite a few Budd descendants working and/or living in the Northfi eld area today, including these great-grandchildren: Ted Budd, Barb Budd, George Budd, Chuck Budd and Margaret Hau-gen. Great-great-grandchildren are Dusty Budd, Johnna Harmer, Allie Harmer, Samantha Budd, and Andrew Budd and there is one great-great-great-grandchild Liam Olson-Budd. Nineteen descen-dants live outside of Northfi eld.

In the fall of 2010 Dusty Budd had the honor of portraying his great-great-grandfather Tel Budd in Cemetery Stories of the North-fi eld Historical Society. Dusty told me, “My family is very impor-tant to me and being able to bring him back to life for a brief time was an absolute treat.” He feels the work ethic of his family stems from Tel Budd, who worked for seven decades in Northfi eld.

“I am proud to be a Budd and a living example of the standard he set,” said Dusty, noting that Tel Budd “loved and appreciated what Northfi eld is all about” and “would cut your hair for nothing if you couldn’t afford it or would give you a discount if you were short of cash.” And, Dusty concluded, “Northfi eld is a unique town,” made that way by people like his great-great-grandfather: “He’s a perfect example of a ‘townie’ and that in itself is enough to make me smile!”

Thanks to Barb Budd for providing me with genealogical and other information about the Budd family.
