Cincinnati, also known as the Queen city, is a city rich in his-

tory and culture with exceptional visual and creative arts, professional sports teams and top notch muse-ums. Whether you are a resident or a visitor there is always something to learn, see and do in cincinnati and our neighboring cities of covington and newport. For those reasons and many more, it’s no surprise that in 2012 Lonely planet travel guide named cincinnati number three of the top ten travel destinations in the united states. cincinnati offers all the benefits of larger cities like Chicago and new york while maintaining the small hometown hospitality. in this section we like to bring interesting facts and opinions. this is what we have for you in this month’s issue:

april begins the cincinnati reds Baseball season and it’s also the start of april showers. so who decides if a game is called due to rain or inclem-ent weather? Well, the answer was easily found on the official Cincinnati reds mLB website under Ballpark information a-Z.

according to the website once both teams’ managers exchange the lineup cards with the home plate umpire it then becomes the sole discretion of the umpire-in-chief (or home plate umpire) to determine if the game is to be interrupted or ter-minated due to inclement weather or unfit playing conditions. He has the unquestionable authority to determine whether the game shall be interrupted, resumed or called.

The Queen City

“The city is indeed, justly styled the Queen of the West: distinguished for order, enterprise, public spirit, and liberality, she stands the wonder of an admiring world.”

- B. Cooke, The Inquisitor and Cincinnati Advertiser, 1819

Cincinnati FIRSTSon september 1, 1869 the first weather reporting system began in cincin-nati which consisted of a published weather bul-letin that contained the first weather forecast by Cleveland Abbe. he was hired the previous year by the cincinnati astronomi-cal society.

Due to the organizations lack of funding he lost his job less than a year later. he then began working in the field of meteorol-ogy and won approval to report and predict the weather. he hoped that the forecasts could be de-termined with little expense that could then earn him an income.

cleveland abbe was born in new york city to a prosperous family. he joined the u.s. army when the civil War broke out but due to poor vision he spent that time working with the astronomer and head of Longitude Department of the u.s. coast survey. he then studied in russia and returned to the u.s to study astronomy before being hired by the cincinnati astronomical society.

Cover Story

by michele roth

On april 26th and 27th the aronoff center for the

arts comes aLiVe with the col-laboration of cincinnati Ballet and legendary recording artist peter Frampton. the down-to-earth and humble peter Frampton gener-ously gave of his time to discuss the collaboration, other upcom-ing projects and some interesting questions.

MR: How were you approached and what did you find most intrigu-ing about your collaboration with the Cincinnati Ballet?PF: “it all got started when i moved to cincinnati in 2000 from nashville, it must have been around when i released the 2006 Fingerprints. the Ballet asked me if i wouldn’t mind them using a few of my recorded songs and instrumentals for pas De Deux (one man, one woman ballet dance) for a short piece they were doing and i said fantastic.

Well, i then got incredibly busy and never saw and was not in town when they did it and it sort of got forgotten. until, i think Victoria morgan or someone made avail-able to me an in house DVD that they had of the performance and it just blew me away. and i was so honored that they had wanted to use my material to do this piece too. So, it was about four or five songs and instrumentals and i was just showing it to everybody.

PETER FRAMPTON& cincinnati BaLLet LiVe!

then Victoria and i sort of had been missing each other and she wanted to talk and i wanted to thank you and all this and then finally I was at a New Years eve party and one of the dance instructors from the ballet, susan autran, wonderful lady, was at a friend’s house and she told me Victoria is wanting to get hold of you and i said yes, we’ve been missing each other and whatever. so that reinvigorated me to lets go see what she’s up to and what she would like you know having seen this DVD so i called her up and she said, “ oh my goodness come down we are rehearsing carmen right now. come down, i’ve got something i would like to ask you.

so i went down and saw these amazing dancers from all over the world. um, top notch you know, just phenomenal. Blew me away; my jaw was on the floor. And then she said, “What do you think of an evening of peter Frampton mu-sic?” and i said of course, please be my guest, what do you want to use? and she said well that will be up to you because you would be playing it. and i said what? she said we don’t want to use just re-corded music. Would you and your band play on the stage? and i said oh my god that’s scary (as he laughs) i mean what a challenge that would be to do that. Because i had performed with dancers once before with David Bowie and there were a lot of dancers, not quite as many as the ballet. But there were a lot of exchanges, physical exchanges by accident i remember (again laughter) so my experience was mixed on this, my thoughts were mixed on this.”

MR: Once you made the decision, how did you decide what music to perform and will there be new music as well as familiar pieces?PF: “she asked what i thought about it so i instantly thought right there on the spot i don’t want to do all old music, i want to do some new music. so i said why don’t i do some old music to start, old music to end from my catalog, songs people know. and then in the middle i’ll give you 20 minutes of brand new music i’ll write for the ballet. you know, still with my band, still peter Frampton music.

i’m not going to do an orchestral piece but knowing how well they choreographed to my music that i wasn’t writing for dance i thought that this would be a wonderful chance. so that’s how it ended up that it will be old and new music and we’re doing three shows.”

MR: How different are the new com-positions from your classics? Do the new pieces that you’ve written for this performance still have familiar ele-ments or are they totally different?

PF: “no, it’s not totally different, it’s just different. it’s just new music from me. one of them is totally instrumen-tal and others of them have vocals in places but not all the time. When you’re writing for something like this i’m not writing for the radio; i’m writing for dance. gordon kennedy, my long time writ-ing partner, and myself realized this and we could start off instrumentally, have a little vocal here, go on and do more instru-mental and maybe not even have anymore vocals. Just have a quick statement and make it and get on with more instrumental music. there’s a couple that are more format songs, but they’re still in a mood that i think will lend themselves to being a cho-reographed performance for 20 to 25 minutes in the middle.”

MR: No one captures a live perfor-mance as well as you. Will any of your performances be recorded?

PF: “We’re working on that. We want-ed to film everything, but because of the incredible cost-- it’s not the cost of doing, its all sorts of other costs that come in-- i’m not doing this to make money. i’m doing this because i’m up for the challenge and the ballet obviously doesn’t have a super, super

budget. so, we’re trying to do this with as much quality but bearing in mind the budget. i just did a DVD and i know how much it costs, and i put a lot of my own money into

making that because i wanted it to be as good as possible, so it’s just not possible to do this. Whether we’re going to audio record a perfor-mance or something i don’t know at this mo-ment. that’s what i’m looking to do right now is to at least get it on audio, yeah.”

MR: Will the performance be available for purchase?

PF: “if it’s not available live from the ballet, they will be available at a later date when I go in and finish recording them.”

MR: When you were creating the pieces were you envisioning the movement of the dancers or were you strictly concentrating on the musical elements?

PF: “seeing as i’m not a choreog-rapher, i couldn’t really write move-ment as they will so wonderfully do, because i’ve seen it already to my music. there is one song called hum-mingbird in a Box, which as soon as i played back, i collect all my ideas like a notepad but on a digital recording when i’m on the road, at home, in the bathroom, wherever i am i collect my ideas and they are little 30 second ideas, maybe a minute, maybe 5 seconds of a riff you know, and when i get it ready to write those will either inspire me to either finish those or to go on and

MR: Is there another organization or musician would you still like to col-laborate with?

PF: “yes, i always say the same thing and i’ll be damned if i don’t get it to happen someday. steve Winwood. he was in spencer Davis group before i was even in the herd, i think and had the first with Keep on Run-ning. i always look to him as the all around phenomenal musician, and of course he still is today, and prob-ably even better than he was. We jammed at his house many years ago. i’ve seen him and had dinner with him at various people’s houses but we never actually got to play something together. and if he wants to sing, i’ll play guitar behind him while he plays that hammond organ. oh my god, that would be a dream.”

MR: Are there any other projects in the works you are ready to share?

PF: “yes, there’s one thing that i’m working on that’s going to mastering right now. Jerry shirley and i are the two remaining humble pie members on the planet and we are releasing the complete Fillmore tapes, all four shows unedited from the gold album rockin’ the Fillmore, what the double album was called, and it hasn’t been heard in 42 years. also the complete box set to humble pie, so that’s all going to be available. pie fans will be happy.”

write something else. there was this one riff that i had written in a dress-ing room bathroom on the Frampton comes alive 35 tour, i remember ex-actly where i was, not the city but the place (again laughing) because the echo sounded good in the bathroom. so i came across this piece and that was the first one that I thought I can see dance to this. and that was the first piece I believe we worked on and that sort of set the tone for the rest of the pieces to come.”

MR: What do you hope the audience takes from this performance?

PF: “Whatever they wish to. my job is to give them something that i feel is something i enjoy. if i enjoy what i’m writing--and i have to enjoy what i’m writing, otherwise I don’t finish it-- so the seven new pieces that i have writ-ten with gordon kennedy i really en-joy and i can’t wait to rehearse with the band to play them. therefore, my enjoyment is up there in performing them. i have no idea how the audi-ence will take them. i hope they like them; that’s everyone’s goal. it’s like you go and look at a painting you might love it, i might hate it. so you know everyone’s got their own ears and their own eyes and they make their own decisions.”

MR: You’ve had other collaborations here in Cincinnati like the one with King Record’s session drummer Phillip Paul with Play it Forward, how did that come about?

pF: “yes what a wonderful man. he’s a great player. that was a tremen-dous session. hideaway was a classic. i was very nervous about doing that track (laughing) seeing as eric clap-ton and every other great guitarist has done a rendition of that. it was just phenomenal to do that with the original drummer and he’s a wonder-ful man. “

Dining

Part Of The FamilyI n a historic building on eastern avenue in Linwood is Bella

Luna café. you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the eclec-tic and funky décor inside. mismatched plates add to the charm while the candles and vintage artwork brings out the warmth of this cozy restaurant; perfect for intimate dinners or simply getting together with friends. owner harry stephens says, “We treat everyone like family, if you’re looking for a fancy place with white table cloths, it’s not us.”

Dining harry and his wife gay opened Bella Luna in april of 2003. since then they have continued to improve on this already perfect little café. one of the changes came in september of 2012 when they welcomed executive chef christopher Lambert; who continues to honor the traditions already established but offers his expertise and flair to the menu as well.

the “scozzafava” and “petti-nato” families’ influence is repre-sented and celebrated through-out the menu with classic dishes like prime rib cannelloni, Lobster and crab ravioli and eggplant Lasagna. these dishes will still be available when the menu changes for the season in may.

not sure which wine will go with your meal. a wine connoisseur, harry personally selects the wines to compliment the menu. Wine flights are available in four entic-ing options providing a range of flavors for every palette. The “mystery Wine Bucket is an excel-lent way to add a little intrigue to your already illuminating eve-ning.

Since spring is finally here visit Bella Luna café for a great eve-ning out; and after an incredible meal enjoy live music on the outdoor patio every weekend. harry enthusiastically shares, “We treat everyone like family so they enjoy the experience and come back soon.” if the friendly staff doesn’t keep you coming back the cozy atmosphere and deli-cious food will.

Entertainment


the show includes 5 sets, each con-sisting of their own scene and cor-responding costume changes with great attention to detail. The first is the recreation of the 1964 ed sullivan show and includes the hair styles, the tailored suites and boots.the second includes songs from the movie era with performances from “a hard Days night” before trans-porting the audience to shea sta-dium. the technology pulls the audi-ence into the illusion with live video of the audience projected onto the main screen along with close-ups of the band for a complete interactive experience.the third set is the sgt. pepper era; with the album cover in the back-ground, colorful costumes and mix of sophisticated lighting effects cre-ating an electric atmosphere. pay close attention to the album cover though because the band has also cleverly included their own photos to recreate the iconic album cover. after a brief intermission the fourth set opens with the influence of Indian music and flower power as the band performs music from 1967-1968. the costumes and hair styles along with the music will take you back to the “summer of Love” and also includes an acoustic set that will give the audience a taste of what the actual song writing process may have been like.Set number five brings the show to an end with the abbey road period from 1969-1970. a recreation of the famous “abbey road” album cover provides rain with the visual to ac-curately represent this period with yet another costume change as they perform the selection of songs including the “golden slumbers” medley through “the end”.

“The Beatles music/career had so much depth, as does our show. The Ed Sullivan era, Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, etc. It was all a wonderful time in history, and I believe our show does a great job of capturing those times, and bringing them to life on stage.”- Mark Lewis, Founder

Shaking It Up On The Hill

Earlier this year when the sweetest things opened in mt. adams; the residents and visitors alike welcomed

the independently owned café to hatch street. offering breakfast all day, delicious homemade desserts, lunch wraps and soups to accompany their wide variety of coffees and teas; it was warmly received. patrons liked what they had to offer including free Wi-Fi and an array of artwork throughout.

Nightlife


But some of the patrons wanted something more. mt. adams has always offered a vibrant nightlife with crowded dance floors and pulsating music; which tends to attract a younger crowd. heather turner decided to take her quaint café and expand it into the chic martini bar which so many of her patrons told her they would like to see on the hill. a place you could kick back and have a glass of wine or the bev-erage of your choice; a place where the music is well chosen and low enough so you can still carry on a conversation easily.

heather listened and even went beyond everyone’s expecta-tions, they have succeeded in creating a place that could be appreciated by the younger pa-trons but cherished by the more sophisticated clients. the bar area with its exposed brick and brown walls creates the perfect ambience to enjoy one of the signature martini cocktails made with fresh squeezed juices and they change weekly. the wine list consists of choice selections; beer and mixed drinks are also available.

Don’t get the wrong idea; the abbey is laid-back not asleep. they offer live music on the weekends in the main area right off of the bar so you can still car-ry on a conversation. so, even if you like your martini stirred, things will still be shaking at the abbey in mt. adams.

Nightlife


War HorseThis powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to packed houses in London and new york. at its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by south africa’s handspring puppet company, that bring to life breathing, gallop-ing, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.
