By Helen Marketti O utdoor rock and roll festivals began over forty years ago with one of them being The Monterey International Pop Festival. The year was 1967 and the “Summer of Love” was an incredible time for music. The Beatles had put Sgt. Pepper on psychedelic tilt while “Flower Power” hippies were wearing flowers in their hair and hopeful that peace and love might make a difference. Over the course of three days in June more than 200,000 people attended the festival at the Monterey fairgrounds in California. It is said that the Monterey Pop Festival was not only the first of its kind but also the most organized event ever put together from the sound system, security, transportation and even first class accommodations for the artists. It was the first benefit concert as all artists performed for free. Since the line ups were so diverse in their own music genres many of them had not even met before until Monterey. “At Woodstock, people remember the weather. At Altamont, people remember the murder. For
Monterey, people remember the music.” These are the words from Lou Adler during a past interview conducted by Warren Zanes at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lou (music producer/ manager) and John Phillips (The Mamas and The Papas) were the co-creators of the Monterey Pop Festival. Many artists made their debut during those three days over some forty years ago to later secure their lasting legacy. Such artists included Janice Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix. Performing at the festival gave them the pop culture impact that propelled their careers forward. Since The Mamas and The Papas were considered one of the major headline acts of the Monterey Pop Festival with Lou Adler as their manager, producer and the best friend of John Phillips, it seems fitting that the first rock festival of its kind was held in California. The summer of 1967 was for peace, love, hope, change, music and California Dreamin’.
H e was a member of the Screaming Eagles Paratroopers in the U.S. Army. He was once a guitar player in back up bands for the Isley Brothers, Little Richard, Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson. He was once managed by Chas Chandler (former bass guitarist of The Animals). He played the guitar with his teeth, behind his back, smashed it to pieces and set it on fire. He had bands called the “Experience” and “Band of Gypsies.” He was...Jimi Hendrix. Believe it or not, Jimi Hendrix was actually shy, quiet and soft spoken. His introverted mannerisms turned inside out once he was behind a microphone with either a Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Flying V strapped across his chest. His career, however, did not take off until he ventured to London in 1966. Performing in clubs and jamming with house bands caught the eyes (and ears) of other rock guitarist notables, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Other rock royalty had also noticed and became his fans such as The Beatles and The Who.
Success started to come his way with the cover song, “Hey Joe” followed by “Purple
Haze” and “The Wind Cries Mary”. Once back in his homeland, Jimi performed at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June of 1967 which was orchestrated by John Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas and their manager, Lou Adler. This was the launch pad for Jimi’s success in the United States. Another unforgettable performance was his version of the “Star Spangled Banner” at
Woodstock ‘69 with many eye opening, “sound-
sational” gigs in between. In addition to his
incredible musical gifts, Jimi also had style and flare for fashion, jewelry and art. Currently on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum are many of Jimi’s outfits including
capes, belts, vests and boots. Photos from his
childhood, original drawings, promotional posters, guitars and
the hand written lyrics of “Purple Haze” are on display. Hendrix was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. He had lead a life of excess that eventually caught up with him. He passed away at the age of 27 on September 18th, 1970. Some might say that he was a rock and roll causality but there was nothing casual abut Jimi Hendrix.

Riesling, A Premier Grape Variety For This Region
Lemon Riesling Cake I NGREDIENTS: 1 lemon cake mix 2 tbsp. flour 4 eggs 2/3 c. oil 1 pkg. lemon flavored gelatin (3 oz.) 2 tbsp. poppy seeds 1 c. Riesling wine
Grease and flour bundt cake pan and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Fill greased bundt pan and bake for 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Let cake cool; remove from pan and dust with powdered sugar. Recipe has been adjusted for high altitude.
R iesling is a grape variety internationally known for its amazing versatility – and flourishes in wine regions around the world. It is certainly the variety upon which the Germans built their stellar reputation for fine wines. Some very interesting Rieslings are produced in Switzerland, but are seldom available beyond the Continent. It is widely planted and appreciated in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Russia and in several eastern European countries. In the Northwest United States, winemakers produce flinty, dry and fruity, off dry styles. Northern California boasts dozens of wineries that vinify this popular varietal. The Canadian province of Ontario is well known for its elegant table wines as well as for dessert wines with luscious, sweet finishes. Some of the finest Rieslings in the world are produced in the eastern United States – in the Finger Lakes Region of New York and right here in northeast Ohio. Riesling is a ‘cool-climate’ varietal. Among the numerous Germanic varieties, many experts believe Riesling most closely reflects the soils, microclimates and other elements unique to the vineyards in which it is grown. While Rieslings grow nearly everywhere in the state, most are grown within the influence of Lake Erie. Soils and climate produce fruit with excellent natural acids and sugars. Over the years, researchers from the Ohio State University have identified certain ‘clones’ that will best adapt to the elements found here, including our harsh winters with their erratic
temperature swings. Most regional Rieslings are made in an off dry or slightly sweet style with a fresh, light finish. Our Riesling ‘nose’ is described as
fruity, with hints of melon or citrus or honey. They are noted for their ‘backbone’ and ‘balance.’ Local winemakers’ efforts have not gone unnoticed nationally. Several Grand River Valley labels have won gold medals in world renowned wine competitions. This state is proud to produce many Riesling wines that appeal to sophisticated connoisseurs as well as the most casual tasters. For additional

O k... I have a big confession to make: “I am not a big fan of American Idol”. There are a number of reasons I could name but I think for the purposes of discussion I will leave it at “I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF AMERICAN IDOL”. I am, however, a fan of amateur and aspiring performers everywhere. I love seeing the process of growth in endeavor whether it’s the progression of folks like Abbey Rodeo, The Lost Sheep Band, and Disco Inferno or simply the local middle school band concert. What makes me say this? Two items come to mind:
My wife’s niece goes to school at Richmond Heights High School and recently was in their production of “FOOTLOOSE”. I had seen the Christmas concert there last winter and was impressed with what a wonderful job the music director did with the kids but was not ready for how happy and intense a performance they would deliver in their little “High School Musical”. Working in a combined theater/gymnasium with bare props the students made the play come alive
in a way that the movie wished it could have. Those of you out there who love high school basketball know the energy that I am talking about. that mystical joy that comes from watching a collection of young, committed persons make something their own and alive. BRAVO!
The second item runs parallel to the first but casts it’s shadow on the individual achievement plateau. About fourteen years ago, the Lake Metroparks asked me to create some music to go along with their “Children’s Nature Schoolhouse” education program. In the course of recording a compact disk of that work I invited a friend of mine’s twelve year old daughter Lindsey Clear to sing a song “Starry Night”. I recently saw Lindsey perform in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania at a little place called the “Falls Pub and Grille”. I was amazed at how she had grown her gift. Her vocals were polished in that wonderful folksy way that draws you into the story of the song. Her guitar playing was elegantly strong and
confident... no flash... just really, really good. I was amazed by the young woman who celebrated life with every melody and charmed an afternoon audience of rafters, bikers and hikers. BRAVO twice!
So.. here’s my point (and I know I have said this before). This summer. support your favorite performers here in the North Coast. but hey!. think of where this stuff starts... maybe with a parent singing to sleep, maybe that elementary school music teacher who inspires a class for thirty minutes once a week, maybe that high school talent display that is the first flight feathers of a budding artist. Get out and support the arts in the schools, in the parks, in the venues. Buy Local, Buy Live, and Grow your own right here at home and you will hear the muse’s toes tapping!

By Sage Satori
H eidi has a beautiful voice and presence which turns heads and can make one stop in their tracks when entering a venue where she is performing. In a recent interview with the North Coast Voice Heidi speaks about her roots, the path her music career has traveled so far and speaks candidly about the music she creates.
SS : Please tell us a little about the where your life began and some highlights along the way.
I grew up in small town Conneaut Ohio fishing and playing sports at the local CLYO fields. I always found myself writing poems and singing into a plastic microphone won at one of Conneaut’s festivals. I would sing the Star Spangled Banner most of the time (it drove my brother crazy!) My mother had a guitar that sat in the corner for years. I would pick it up now and then thinking all the little pegs had to stay in a row in order for it to sound right. It wasn’t until around age 14 that I really became determined to learn how to play. My cousin Paul, a fellow musician, came to visit one holiday. He broke out my mom’s old Alvarez and started to play and sing songs he had written. I was hooked. From then on I began looking at books with pictures of chords. I learned the basics that way and started putting my poems to music. I started hanging out with people who played and watched their every move in hopes to learn something new. I began attending local open mics and even played at a school dance. As I entered college music took a back seat to school. I played less, but when I did, I realized it was an itch I needed to scratch. Once I graduated my family had moved out to Concord, Oh in Lake County. I started attending open mics at the House of Blues in Cleveland, The Winchester in Lakewood, McNamera’s on the shore way, and the Bside
in Coventry. That is really where I began to meet a lot of musicians. I began to network with these people and set up shows. Bands and musicians like Magnum Opus, Ben Barr, Fiona Faulk, John Fegy, Nick Zuber, Uptight Sugar, Winslow, and Tracy Marie all were so kind in allowing me to open up for them or share the stage.
SS : What is your college focus?
My major in undergrad was psychology and now I am working on a Master’s of Education with a License in Community Agency Counseling. I would like to be a counselor for children and adolescents in a community agency setting. If I could somehow incorporate my music into counseling that would be my ideal scenario.
SS : Would you describe your music for those who haven’t had the pleasure of hearing you?
My music is raw in the sense that a part of me is completely exposed. I realized early on that if I wanted to write songs I was proud of, I had to sacrifice a sense of privacy and open up the parts of me that few were privy to. This allowed me to be uncomfortably honest in my songs, even if it meant I divulged things that made me or the listener blush. I usually write from experience, it has become a sort of therapy for me, a way to sort my inner most thoughts and emotions about experiences that I can’t seem to release until they are put into song. I don’t know if I necessarily fit into a genre but I would like to believe that my songwriting can be experienced and interpreted, not just heard, by anyone who chooses to listen.
SS : You were known for your solo acoustic performance for quite some time and now you are able to bring band accompaniment for some of your shows. Tell us about that.
Recently I was approached by a friend, Gabe Cicconitti where he offered to manage all my publicity and booking. If it weren’t for him I don’t think I would be out
playing. He has opened so many doors for me including encouraging me to find a band. Thanks to Gabe I am now working with some amazingly talented musicians. Jeff Guhde plays upright and electric bass. Angela Cutrone (aka A.C.) plays drums, and Lance Drew plays lead guitar. They have inspired my music and sound in a new and exciting way.
SS : Tell us some venues and events that have been part of your journey so far.
I have played at various local venues including The Winchester, The Parkview, Happy Dog, and Brother’s Lounge for Breastfest created by Robin Stone and Tracy Marie. Painesville’s Party in the Park, The Phantasy, The Barking Spider, The Vine and Bean, Cabanas, Nelson Ledges, The Sandy Chanty, Around the Corner, Bella Dubby, and Wilberts. A friend Katie and I went on a last minute trip to Nashville for my birthday...great friend that she is, she started telling everyone that I played guitar. I was honored to be given the opportunity to play a few songs on stage. The current act at the Cadillac Ranch, Brad Anderson, overheard her and was kind enough to lend me a few minutes in his set to play my songs. It was an amazing experience that I am truly grateful for. I learned that music is a language that creates a sort of kinship amongst strangers. I think Brad was “passing the torch” in a sense to help a fellow musician share her story.
SS : Random Acts of Music is an awesome opportunity for unsigned talent to
appear on cable TV and for those who do not have the channels or “On Demand” options there are segments available for viewing on YouTube. I asked Heidi to share her thoughts about her moments on that stage.
Random Acts of Music was a true learning experience for me. My manager Gabe Cicconetti sprung the news upon me that Henry J, the host of Random Acts of Music had agreed to have me on the show. I showed up scared out of my mind; I don’t think I have been that nervous since my first live performance! I also have some fear of recording for some reason (which probably explains why it is taking me so long to finish my CD). I was all business because I just wanted to get it over with. I played 3 songs, all of which were recorded in one take. Henry asked if I would like to do another I said sure and asked him to sit in. Like the pro he is he sat down and improvised throughout the song, a song he had never heard before. I was a wonderful experience. It taught me a lot about what I can and can’t handle and how I need to have a little more faith in my craft.
With an impressive repertoire of originals and her own unique version of others artist’s songs Heidi brings the audience a show from her heart to theirs.
Below is a list of some of Heidi’s upcoming shows:
June 20 - Wine Bar : 911 N. Mantua St. Kent, Oh 44240 playing with Elliot Ingersoll show starts at 8:00pm
June 27 - Beck Cafe : 17823 Detroit Ave. Lakewood, Oh 44107
July 17 - Party in the Park in Painesville with full band Jeff Guhde/bass guitar, Lance Drew/Lead guitar, Angela Cutrone/ drums 3:00pm
July 25 - Firehouse : 255 South Four Mile Run Rd. Youngstown, Oh 44512
August 22 – Waterfest at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park

By Don Perry S ometimes it seems as if the days slip away just a little more quickly during the summer months. Could it be that the speed at which our minds process information is directly related to air temperature? Maybe the angle at which the sun’s rays reflect off the earth’s surface creates an atmospheric imbalance that causes time to travel at a higher rate of speed to fill the void created by expanding molecules. Maybe I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. I do know this; summer is here and it won’t last long, so don’t miss out on the great North Coast Summertime events that we’ve been waiting for... a l l w i n t e r l o n g . The “Jazz on the Vine” summer Jazz series begins on Sunday June 28th at Debonne’ Vineyards with “Forecast”, playing from 2 until 6pm. On alternating Sundays, WNWV 107.3 “The Wave” presents a fabulous line up of Jazz entertainers from the Cleveland area and beyond. The outdoor grill will be fired up along with the entertainment, so bring a lawn chair and enjoy an afternoon filled with great wine, great food and great jazz. Just so ya know, 100% of your $4.00 parking fee goes to The Greater Western Reserve Boy Scout Council. Hey, you can have a great afternoon, and support a very worthy cause at the same time. Visit www.debonne.com for more information.
Students of Jazz, don’t let your chops get out of shape during the summer months. Rather than letting that instrument collect dust until marching band season, take advantage of one of the following jazz camps being offered this summer. The Lakeland Community College Summer Jazz Camp, under the direction of Ed Michaels will take place June 22nd through the 27th. This is a great opportunity for Jr. and Sr. High School students to learn from some of the best area educators. Go to www.lakelandcc.edu and enter “jazz camp”, in the search box and all the information will be at your fingertips. The Tri C “Summer with the Jazz Masters” under the direction of Steve Enos will take place on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from June 29th through July 24th. This camp offers the opportunity to play in a small group and a large ensemble as well as instruction in improvisation and jazz history. Contact Steve Enos at [email protected] for the specifics. Once again these two schools are making it possible for young musicians to receive college level instruction from some of our area’s finest jazz educators. Now, these are just a few ways that you could enjoy your summer days but maybe it’s a night out that you really need. Just leave it to Nighttown and Jim Wadsworth Productions to present just the evening that you’ve been waiting for. On Saturday, June
13th, Chuck Loeb will be appearing at 8:00pm and again at 10 upon the Nighttown stage. Chuck left the Berklee College of Music in Boston over 30 years ago and has been playing, producing and composing ever since. Loeb is a jazz guitarist who is currently touring to promote his latest release, “Between 2 Worlds”. This is his ninth solo album, the first of which does not include a keyboard. The reason for this is simply to provide more open space for the guitar to flow, space that would normally be filled by
the keys. Sometimes less is more. Touring and recording are not the only way that Chuck spends his time. He has also produced and performed upon many chart topping songs by artists such as Kim Waters, who just played The Tangiers in Akron a few weeks ago. I hope you check the site I suggested a few weeks back. Composing is yet another of Loeb’s many talents. Chances are you’ve heard his work.
Perhaps you’ve heard the main theme to CNN Headline News, ABC News “Nightline”, The Montel Williams Show or ABC’s “One Life to Live”. The list keeps going! You have got to catch Chuck Loeb while he’s in Cleveland! There will be one Show at Nighttown on Sunday, June 14th also. To learn more about the show and this impressive artist go to nighttowncleveland.com or chuckloeb.com So do you want to spend your summer contemplating the relationship between air temperature and molecular activity? I didn’t think so.

H ello again all you fellow musicians! I hope the past few weeks have served you well. With no playability issues to speak of, I have had a few repairs this past week that I would like to share with you. One of them pertains to the nut of the guitar. Many times I will get a guitar or mandolin in the shop and the customer is complaining of a buzz on one or more of the strings. Well the first thing that I do is try to narrow it down to which string it is and then try to figure out where on that string it seems to be buzzing. I check this by fretting each note to determine which fret it is buzzing. If I find that the buzz is happening on the string when I play it in the open position that tells me that it is the groove that guides the string is too deep and is fretting out on the first fret therefore causing a buzz. This is a common problem on instruments that use plastic for the nut material. It seems that the steel string is much harder than the plastic and over time will eventually wear a deeper groove than is needed in the plastic. Although I have come across many different types of plastic, some harder than others, it always seems to be a problem. Generally on more expensive
instruments the nut material will be made of bone. This is my choice of material but, there also many other types that are also very good alternatives. Some of these might include “Micarta”, a very hard man made product, similar to bone in density. Another man made substance, “Corian”, generally used in kitchen counter tops, and also graphite, a very hard and dense material that is known to have self lubricating properties. I have come across nuts that are made of brass, which to me, makes the sound a little too bright. I like the warm and natural tone that comes from a nut made from a good quality piece of bone. Bone nut blanks can be purchased from many places including some music stores but, I caution anyone that would try to take on the task of “cutting” one to fit your own instrument. I’m not saying it can’t be done I just feel that it is probably better suited to the
more experienced craftsman. Another good point to know is that the hardest part of the cow bone comes from the forearm of the cow. I actually get my bone material from my local butcher and boil the fat and oils from it several times and cut my bone nut blanks on my bandsaw. It takes a little more
work to do this but, I find that I have much more control of the quality and sizes that I may choose for any particular instrument that I might come across. I also use this bone for the saddle material on the bridge. I
have used it on inlays too. Another source of possible “buzz” problems, lie in the fretboard, more specifically the frets themselves. There actually have been books or very extensive articles written on this subject alone. I will do my best to try to make sense of it in just a few short sentences. What is happening is, is
that one or more frets either raise up or gets pressed lower than the adjacent fret causing a buzz when you press the string over the offending area. This can be fixed by “leveling” the frets This is done with a 10” flat bastard file.( don’t ask me why they call it that)After leveling it is usually necessary to “crown” the frets with a “crowning file”. These can only be purchased at a luthier supply house and is another procedure that should be left for your friendly repairman. Although I may make these procedures sound simple I still want to express extreme caution in trying to perform them without some serious practice or experience behind you. It is very easy to cause more problems by fixing one the wrong way. Unfortunately there is not enough room in this article for me to explain in detail the proper way to level and crown frets. But I do want to help you with any of your playing problems, so please feel free to send me an email with any questions you might have and I will do my best to answer them a.s.a.p. My e-mail is [email protected]. Thanks again!
Stay in Tune! Patrick from WoodnStrings

his teeth in various blues bands. Though he moved to Mexico City to perform and teach classical guitar, he soon dropped out of the cozy and well paid classical world to live and play in the down and dirty clubs, jails and places at the end of dirt roads. Barely eking out a living, Jeff would cross the entire city with guitar and amp in hand by bus and subway to get to a gig or rehearsal but during his years there he wrote over 200 songs and developed his own standout style of blues guitar based around his virtuoso classical technique. It took a lot of gigs, tequila, beer and mota (a staple of the Mexican bluesman) to make the change but Jeff left Cleveland as a classical artist and returned a full fledged bluesman. He traded in his tux for a bad ass hat. Soon after returning to the Cuyahoga Delta Jeff put together Dead Guy Blues with Chris Boross on bass and Steve Zavesky on drums to showcase his guitar, vocal and songwriting skills. Even though Jeff loves traditional blues of all kinds his mission is to take the blues somewhere else…laying down songs with twists and turns in the lyric, rhythm and chord changes, hence songs like: “Aztec Trot” (something you might encounter after drinking the Mexican water,
“Roadkill”, “Cold Wind in Cleveland”, “I Miss My Ball and Chain” (a not so tender love song), “Bad Voodoo”, “Beer and Whiskey, Coffee and Cigarettes”, “Throw This Dog a Bone” and “Drunk as a Skunk”. Their recordings showcase only original songs but live they’ll tear it up on anything blues or anything that can be made into blues. From Link Ray’s classic “Rumble” to garage rock of the 60’s, even an electric version of Stephen Still’s “Treetop Flyer” or a delta finger picked version of Hendrix’s classic “Voodoo Chile” (it will blow your mind), they’ll turn a polka into blues…nothing’s sacred! They even turn surf instrumentals like “Penetration” and “Pipeline” into something they can crank on some roaring blues riffs. Dead Guy Blues plays blues from the Cuyahoga Delta… cold hard steelyard blues. Their kind of blues was born in garages and grew up in broken bars with hard booze, hard love, hard men and women and hard rockin’ music. They currently have two CDs available through CDBaby: Dead Guy Blues and Cold Wind in Cleveland. www.deadguyblues.com

Paramount to make movie about legendary country singer, Charlie Pride, with
paradoxes almost too good to be true. O h, the paradoxes of life! Being a writer can be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is the unrelenting yearning to write about so many topics. The curse is the clashing part of the paradox, the procrastination one experiences having to narrow down what are the most important things to write about and deciding when the story is “fait accompli”, an accomplished work. I don’t think we writers really know this until those minutes before the dreaded deadline. However, the research process is as exciting sometimes as detective’s work. Newswires and associated presses give us fodder for timely subject matter. I just happened upon a blast from the past. The name Charlie Pride jumped out at me one day as I surfed through some 100, mostly junk, emails. I was a young toddler, at most, when I recall seeing Charlie Pride on television. All I remember is that he was a Black country singer who had a great voice and sang country. Back n the late 1960s that
was a bit unusual. Currently, there is a movie in the works about his life. A little known fact: this country singer made his debut as a last minute fill-in for ailing comedian, Jimmy Durante, at the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix in the mid 60s. Pride stood out in front of a huge crowd and sang his songs, “which nobody knew”, he recalls. Then, in the middle of the set, he will never forget a man who stood up in the back and said, ‘I’ve never heard of you or any of your albums, but I’m about to go out and buy them all!’ “ Charley Pride went on to sell 70 million albums and is the second-biggest artist in the history of the RCA label behind only Elvis. “Right then, I figured if I can win these people over, maybe I’ve got something that folks just like.”, Charlie recalls. It’s that humble attitude and determination, a bit of show biz guile and pure love; that’s the makeup of Charley Pride. Now, 40 years after his rise to fame, it’s amazing in its own right, that one of the most successful country stars of all time, one of its finest and most singular talent, is an African-American from Sledge, Miss. This Country Music Hall of Famer and Grand Ole Oprey member had more than 30 number 1 hits. He was a giant in his day. Pride’s story and soon to be made movie takes us from the cotton fields of Sledge, Mississippi to the playing fields of Memphis to the studios of Nashville. Yes, that’s right he was also a failed pitching prospect who once threw for the Memphis Red Sox of the old Negro League. It may sound odd, but four of the country musicians I have interviewed in the past 2 years have all had stints and great talents in the sport of baseball and many entertained the prospects themselves of baseball fame. Must be that good old American past-time and Music of Americana that breeds these men. At 71, Pride still has the agile moves of an athlete. He also continues each spring to work out with the Texas Rangers Baseball team. The man can crack jokes, can be a merciless teaser and just win over a crowd with his country-like sermons and ear to ear smiles. Memphis filmmaker, Craig Brewer managed to get Paramount Studios to consider a biopic of Pride’s life which is filled with many paradoxes too good to be true. “Charley rose to prominence parallel to the Civil Rights Movement, when a lot of people viewed country music with being part of the problem and not part of the solution,” says Brewer. “But Charley was the true embodiment of what freedom was. Country music was in his heart and he felt he had the right to sing it. And, not only that, but he felt he had the right to love it ... and not be ashamed.”
Inductees announced for 2009 Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum Awards Show, in Nashville this October.
These inductees represent the most influential and highly respected musicians, producers and arrangers in their musical genre. Some of the honorees this year are:
CHET ATKINS (MUSICIAN) As a guitarist, musician, producer, record label executive, and mentor, Chet Atkins, was one of the most influential musical pioneers of the last half century. His contributions were critical to helping young musicians everywhere. Atkins picking style elevated him in the minds of others and brought him admirers both within and outside of the country music scene, both nationally and internationally. During his career he produced records for Perry Como, Elvis Presley, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, Jerry Reed, Skeeter Davis, Connie Smith, Waylon Jennings, and others. He is well known as the co-creator, along with Owen Bradley, of the “Nashville Sound,” that expanded the appeal of Country music to adult pop audiences.
BILLY COX (MUSICIAN) West Virginia born bass guitarist and local Nashville musician, Billy Cox, is best known for his longtime musical relationship with Jimi Hendrix. They met in the 1960’s, while both were in the army at Ft. Campbell, KY, they formed a relationship that would last until Hendrix’ passing. They formed The King Kasuals, in Nashville, TN and when invited by Jimi to go to England to start what would become the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cox had to decline because as he put it, ‘I only had three strings on my bass and not enough money to purchase a bus ticket to New York.” Cox would again reunite with his former bandmate in 1969, to play bass in the experimental psychedelic/rock band, Band of Gypsys, as well as taking the stage with Hendrix in 1969, at the legendary Woodstock Festival, forty years ago this coming August.

By Cat Lilly T racy Marie got up from the piano and picked up a guitar in 1994. From there, her songwriting and performing became more than just a hobby. In addition to her own original music, she is often heard belting out
the music of other artists including Janis Joplin, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrisette, Bonnie Raitt, Heart, Patsy Cline, Grateful Dead, and the list goes on. Her musical stylings can be classified somewhere in the neighborhood of pop, rock and blues. Her songwriting draws mainly on her personal experiences with relationships, friends, love, and life. Tracy Marie is a child of Cleveland, Ohio and can be found performing regularly in and around Cleveland. In the past decade, she has taken her voice and music across the country from Los Angelos to New York where has she performed with well repected jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan and blues legend, Buddy
Miles. In Nashville she performed her original song, “Beautiful Again” at the Ryman Auditorium, the original Grand Ole Opry. Tracy Marie has released two albums. The first, which is creatively titled, Sheik European Assassin Woman in 2000 and The One in the Sun in 2003. Both albums were recorded in Strongsville, Ohio at Spider
Studios and produced by Ben Schigel. Tracy Marie is currently working on an upcoming album release date TBA. In addition, Tracy is the founder and organizer of Breast Fest, a benefit concert of female performers to help raise funds for breast cancer prevention. For eight years running, the event Breast Fest has raised awareness, donations, and support for patients and survivors of breast cancer in Northeast Ohio. Musicians and volunteers have come together in the past for the very worthy cause at various venues such as The Beachland Ballroom, The Hi-Fi Concert Club, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the Happy Dog, the Parkview Niteclub, and, most recently, Brothers Lounge. The musical lineup, composed of amazing Northeast Ohio female artists, reached across all genres of music to include pop, rock, folk, jazz, and blues. Kristine Jackson, Ki Allen, Heidi Longhauer, Robin Stone, Alexis Antes, Claudia Schieve, Becky Boyd, Tracie Marie, Cherylann Hawk, Brittany Davidson, and Jackie Warren are just a few of the artists who participated. The event has raised thousands of dollars over the past eight years.
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday night and Tracy Marie is preparing to take the stage at the Parkview Niteclub on Cleveland’s near West side. The neighborhood tavern, which is perched on a hill at the end of West 58th Street, is filled with an eclectic mix of neighborhood blue collars, suburbanites out for a night on the town, and serious music fans. Dot Martin, host of WRUW’s Monday night Off Blues and Jazz show, is in the house, along with jazz chanteuse Ki Allen, a regular contributor to the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. Patrons sitting at the unusually lengthy bar take in a spectacular view of the sunset through the arched-brick windows that face the lake, while others enjoy “fine dining without the attitude” at a vintage wooden booth lining the wall. The main floor is crowded with modest red-checker tables that are easily pushed together to accommodate larger groups. The smell of steaming mussels smothered in garlic is in the air as anticipation mounts, everyone eager to hear what this tiny little lady has in store for us tonight.

power of a roundhouse punch. She wraps her full, throaty tones around heartfelt lyrics with all the clout of someone who knows of what they speak. Whether performing her own original material or covering another’s, she connects with her audience in a way that few artists can. She can take a tired pop tune like Prince’s “Purple Rain,” and give it a whole new life. Her treatment of the Big Mama Thornton blues classic “Ball and Chain” is as emotionally wrenching for the audience as it is for the singer; she only performs it if the mood is right, and always saves it for last. This reporter has been a fan of Tracy’s for some time now (about ten years) and recently had the pleasure of conducting an interview with her:
Tell me about your family. Where did you grow up? Where did you acquire your love of music? I grew up in South Euclid, Ohio until 1988, until I was 12 when we moved to Bay Village. My Dad worked for Ford. The commute for him everyday was pretty bad, so it worked out good in that way. The school system was much smaller and not quite as diverse, so it was somewhat of a culture shock. In Cleveland Heights Schools (grades 5-7) I was starting to become very interested in theater and the performing arts. I always loved singing and performing. It seemed to get me the positive attention I was starving for. Since I have congenital dysplasia of the joints, my gait attracted lot of attention from my peers and not the kind of attention you want. When I sang it was like I became the most popular person in the room and everyone was smiling at me. So, this fed my love for performing. In Bay Village, I was part of choir in Middle School, however I didn’t make any of the auditions in High School. So I started hanging out with a few rebels and of course where there’s rebels, there’s guitars… So, I had access to my first guitar around age 15. A friend who played and wrote songs left it at my house. I was already trying to write my own music on piano to the poems I had written over my teenage love drama or whatever. That’s when it started. Around age 21, I went to my first open mic night and then I had my first few gigs in 1996. It was a solo-acoustic
situation at that time. I had barely learned 5 chords and never really played with a band up until that point. I got paid like $25 for my first few gigs and to me, I was like in the big- time then, or on my way at the very least.
Can you give me a chronology of your musical training and
history? As far as training goes, I can remember taking piano lessons as far back as 3rd grade. I have had many, many different teachers for piano, from private lessons to college level. Believe it or not, I still don’t read music that fluently and I think it’s because I have been able to cheat by using my ear or chord charts. I have also taken guitar and vocal lessons for much of my
career and prior.
What type of guitar do you play now? I have a Yamaha, and a Luna.
Who were your musical inspirations? I always hate this question, because artists usually have an answer like someone famous, usually dead and someone they have not met. My answer is this: my musical inspirations are those who I have been in bands with, been taught by, loved by, hated by, angry with, in love with… As far as my favorite national bands that I have been exposed to, that would be Heart, Pink Floyd, Pretenders, Eagles, everything classic rock and beyond. Also, 90’s divas such as Fiona Apple, Alanis, Sheryl Crow, Jewel. In the 80’s it was Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. I was in a Heart Tribute band called Little Queen (late 90’s through 2001). This is how I got the nickname “Little Queen.” It works, since I am only 4’11” and I am a retired princess.
How do you compare your first CD with your second one? Did you use your own band or studio musicians? My first CD was my intro to being a music producer. I learned about music recording in the late 90’s. After a bad experience in the studio, I decided I’d better get educated on the thing that matters most to me. Performing, writing and ultimately recording. So, I took a few classes on recording at Tri-C. There really was no program or certificate that they offered in this field, so I took on a Liberal Arts Curriculum and the classes that were offered in recording. After that, I was finally in the

studio recording my first album beginning in 1999. I worked with Ben Schigel at Spider Studio in Strongsville. He had some major label interest for his band he sang with called Switched. They were eventually signed to the same label as Incubus. However, I could see that Ben was on the cutting edge of Music Recording and he was in fact a young producer of age 24. He had the latest software. He was self-taught and knew how to complete the project from start to finish: producing, recording, mastering, artwork and manufacturing. There really was no plan though. Both Ben and his brother Joe played more than one instrument and so I showed up and played him my latest sad song and he would lay down drums, Joe on bass and me on Guitar and Vocals. Then we’d go from there. I eventually brought in more musicians to play lead or strings. I didn’t even have a name for the album until one day I ran into an ex band mate of mine. He was always doubting my momentum as a solo act. He saw me and says, “Well, Well, Well… If it isn’t the Sheik European Assassin Woman.” I was like, “What did you just call me?” He said he had seen my name around and was impressed. I was impressed with the witty nickname and made it the title of the album. It took 2 years to complete the project, but we had so much fun doing it. The second release was much more compact in all aspects, in contrast the first album had a wider spectrum of styles since we really produced the project song by song. On my second record, I consolidated on style, studio time and musicians. I had gathered my songs, my band line-up and my block of studio time at Ben’s. After many pre- production rehearsals, we recorded the album, “The One in the Sun” with in one week in the studio. Most of the songs were written within a few months of releasing. The album was unofficially released in 2003 . The musicians that played on my albums are some of the finest around. Jason Green, who is one of the best guitarists I have ever heard, played on several tracks of my first release. In this case the tracks were played and it was the first time he heard it and the
first take was the keeper. In addition, Mike Garrett appeared on both releases. Mike Garrett was also in the Band, Sugar Magnolia and the Heart Tribute we both founded, “Little Queen”. The second release had a consistent band for the entire album with a guest appearance from Mr. David Mayfield on lead guitar, mandolin and banjo for my song which he was part subject of, “The Old Oak Tree.” He also shared in backing vocals for “Hey, Hey, Hey.”
Is there anything you would like to say about your current band or any of the musicians that you are working with now? I guess they call it musical chairs for a reason because usually I am playing out live with someone different at every gig. I am blessed to know and work with some of the finest musicians of the business in and around Cleveland who are willing to learn my material. In the last year off the top of my head I have had these people as part of the
backing band on my gigs: Michael Bay, Guitar; Mike Barrick, Bass; Fred Barringer, Guitar; Nick Marino, Bass; Jon Noble, Bass; Mike Delia, Drums; Tim Lane, Drums; Mike Jacobs, Guitar; Rob Muzick, Guitar; Jim Wall, Drums; Billy Copely, Drums; David Kasper, Sax; Ernie Arroyo, Bass and the list goes on…
I know you are going to school for recording. What are your ultimate goals for your music? Around 2000, Tri-C beefed up the program and started offering a degree in Recording Arts and Technology. I was already established as a performing musician and, in fact, I was the subject at a few educational recording sessions for the program. Last year in 2008, I decided to finish what I started by attending the program full-time from start to finish. It has been an amazing experience. I have never known what it felt like to know that I am on a path I was meant to take all along until now. Recording has been my passion from day one. To create and manipulate music through technology is a gift. Now is actually the most magical of all times in the technology sector of the industry. It is transforming music

sonically and socially with the acceleration of home studios and independent music being released to the whole world with the click of a mouse. I want to be part of the creative process technically. It is like having the paintbrush in my own hands. I want to record my own music as well as other talent who may not otherwise have the resources.
What was your motivation for founding Breastfest? Tell me a little about the event. Well from the beginning: Rewind to 1998/ 99… I performed at an annual Breast Cancer Benefit called FemFest. It was pretty cool: An all chick band line-up including some of the greatest talent in Cleveland at the time. It was held at the Old Peabody’s. A girl named Catherine Beeks joined up with Freetimes Marketing Director, Courtney Baker to make the event a success. However, in 2000 Cat herine moved to California and the event gone as well. In 2001, Mike Yates (www.mikesbarn.com) Approaches me with an idea of an all ladies show. He mentioned the FemFest event and the cause and with some direction from another friend decided the event would be renamed and reborn. As a joke someone yelled Breastfest and laughed. I was like, COOL! That’ll bring more men then FEMFEST. So, Breastfest 2001 became the first annual. It was held at Beachland Ballroom and Tavern. We had both rooms going at the same time. Almost 30 acts. Courtney Baker, Robin Stone and I worked together with artists, sponsors and media to make that event a huge success even 2 weeks after 9/11. Since then we have had events at The Rock Hall, Hi-Fi Club, Brother’s Lounge, Parkview and Happydog. We have a website which is usually updated during the summer announcing the show date and venue. http://www.breastfest.net or www.myspace.com/breastfestcleveland. As of recent, Dot Martin has been my partner in planning since 2006. Robin Stone and a plethora of local talented ladies continue to perform for the event annually. Freetimes and Jakprints have both been 8-year sponsors of the event. My reasoning for volunteering to create and coordinate this event: I have had the time, experience and ability to make it happen. It started out as an idea. I have always wanted to plan parties and events and I knew the people with talent, the venue owners, the media people and also those who suffer from the effect of cancer. I figured I should use my resources to do this for a good cause. It makes others feel good and me too.
Tracy’s empathetic nature may stem from the fact that she was born with congenital dysplasia of the joints and spine, a condition that left her with a severe limp. The negative attention she received as a child because of her disability is evidenced in some of her songs. She has had both hips replaced and credits the surgeries with improving her mobility and gait. Still, on a normal day, she has problems with standing for more than 5 – 10 minutes before pain sets in. In spite of
that, she prefers to perform standing; the positive feedback she receives from the audience gives her the stamina to stay on her feet longer, the pain alleviated by the rush of energy from the crowd. In February 2008, Tracy was interviewed by Disaboom Magazine , a publication “connecting the millions touched by disability.” When asked how her handicap has affected her life, she says, “I have more knowledge and understanding of life than I would have had without my disability. Friends of mine seem to grow sad as they get older and get arthritis or other ailments. For me, this is all I’ve ever known, and I’m still happy.” Her advice to other budding musicians, perhaps dealing with a disability (real, perceived, or otherwise): “It’s all about your view and how you look at things. You can always think of reasons why you didn’t get a gig or a performance, but you may not know the real reasons. Don’t give up, and don’t let one opinion ruin you. Reject the rejections, and move on to the next person.” This feisty little “pint-sized princess” is currently working on her third CD, tentatively titled “True Blue.” Her dad is a long-time blues fan but Tracy’s musical tastes leaned more toward rock, pop, and country. When her parents encouraged her to attend a blues jam at a club in the neighborhood, she found an affinity for the blues. Her voice is perfectly suited to this new-found love, and when she growls, spits, and sasses her way through a blues number
like Bonnie Raitt’s “Love Me Like a Man”, her fans love it. Tracy regularly co-hosts blues night jams with Michael Bay and the Bad Boys of Blues at the Parkview and the Savannah Bar and Grille in Westlake. Last winter Tracy took part in Crooked River Groove, a live regional television show produced at Tri-C. With its own college accredited record label, Crooked River Groove is dedicated to the concept of celebrating the rich diversity of original music in Northeast Ohio. The heart of the operation is its talented staff & faculty, a lavish, 3,000-square-foot studio, complete with a state-of-the-art editing room and beautiful recording suite. Students from the R.A.T. program at Tri-C record and produce talented artists who might not be able to afford to record elsewhere in an environment that is not just about sales. Tracy has two upcoming Crooked River Groove shows airing on Smart TV as well as
the Web. Following are dates for Friday premieres: Words & Music (9:00 pm) June 12th and Crooked River Groove (9:30 pm) June 19th. Michael Bay, Mike Barrick and Tim Lane are featured in the June 19th 9:30 slot.

DRAG ME TO HELL Universal • PG13 • 99 min
OK gang this is a good week to grade on the curve. We have an action blockbuster, an animated blockbuster and a horror blockbuster. So what’s that got to do with the curve? Well, you see, I can’t really figure a better way to compare films of, let’s say, different genres.
So I’m going to grade Sam Raimi’s newest schlockfest against other horror flicks. Now horror films, by and large, suck out loud despite the fact that they’re so irresistible. I mean, karate movies suck too but they just don’t have that allure. Anyway Sam Raimi is the creator of EVIL DEAD, a campy tongue in cheek but gruesome frolic that had little more than a cult following. Well the cult grew and Raimi’s goofball guts and gore are making the big bucks today. Nearly thirty years later he gives us DRAG ME TO HELL, which could have just as easily debuted at a drive in during the early 80s. It’s not a zombie film this time, but the old Gypsy curse hook, not unlike Stephen King’s Thinner, only a lot more gross. Christine (Alison Lohman) is a bank drone who aspires to a managerial position when a creepy old Gypsy woman comes in to beg for a third extension on her house. She wants to seem like a tough negotiator for the boss so she turns the old dame down. As it turns out that was a bad idea and winds up in the clutches of a cockamamie demonic curse. Despite the best efforts of mediums, soothsayers and witch doctors she’ll be dragged to hell in three days by a demon in the form of, and I’m not kidding, the black goat. There’s enough dime store FX, fake puke, worms, eyeballs popping out etc. to keep any red blooded thirteen year old boy happy. Remember this is rated PG 13 for good reason. As to the horror it’s more startling than actually frightening but at least there’s a sense of humor and while you won’t be scared to go out in the dark (like after THE
EXORCIST or TEXAS CHAINSAW) at least you won’t die from boredom. The most unbelievable part was buying the idea that Christine’s wimpy boyfriend (who makes Clay Aiken seem like Clint Eastwood) actually likes women.
C + (on the curve)
UP Pixar Disney • PG • 96 min
Well here’s another movie with a very specific curve. Actually Pixar (by Disney) flicks are at the very pinnacle of computer-generated graphics so it’s almost impossible to compare them to anybody else’s CGI work. That’s kind of a catch 22 for Pixar as any tiny flaw might lead to a “well it’s not as good as…” and that’s what happens here. Oh it looks great but there’s a story too. I won’t give away much but we already know the main thrust of the tale from the previews; it’s a grumpy old man, Mr. Fredericksen, (Ed Asner) and an overeager boy. Russell, (Jordan Nagai) who wind up trapped on a flying house. As the film begins we find out just why the house is flying and why Mr. Fredericksen is so grumpy. It’s actually an extraordinarily touching sequence that had me literally in tears. The old man embarks on a lifetime quest as Russell endears himself as the first mate on the fantastic voyage. Soon they end up at the prehistoric looking destination as UP turns into an action/adventure film and that’s where it starts to drag. It isn’t terrible but the human interest was so appealing that I hated to see it become raucous bad guys and chase scenes. Still the characters are unique and the story is pretty unconventional in a Dean Koontz kind of way. The dogs are pretty
cool, as you’ll see.
Also the bad guy (Christopher Plummer) starts out as a sympathetic figure and though he’s turned out a bit evil it’s easy to see why. There’s a standard happy ending and it’s hard to be overly critical, but I guess it just misses the gold standard we’ve come to expect.

TERMINATOR SALVATION
Warner Brothers • PG13 • 114 min
OK I guess if I’m staying with the curve this issue we’ll need to rank TERMINATOR SALVATION with, uh, the other TERMINATOR flicks? I’m not sure if there’s an actual category “noisy plot free pieces of, well, you know” but maybe there should be. I guess you could toss PREDATOR, ALIEN and even PREDATOR vs. ALIEN in it. To be honest I haven’t been thrilled with any of the previous three TERMINATOR films. Though I didn’t blame Arnold Schwartzenegger, they just seemed like an excuse to use up whatever explosives and scrap metal they had laying around the set. Now Arnold is busy as the governor of California and the series tries to take on an aura of respectability with hot young Christian Bale as John Connor the legendary leader of the human resistance movement. If you recall the earth is under siege by evil machines programmed to wipe out the race. So we flash back to 2003 where an inexplicable cancerous Dr Kogan (Helena Bonham Carter) convinces death row inmate Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) to donate his body to science. He agrees and literally becomes a lean mean fighting machine; a

cyborg with a mission. He’ll cross paths with Conner who is on some kind of time travel assignment to pinpoint and rescue his own father and thereby save the world. Or something. No matter what the plan, you can be assured that there is plenty of stuff getting blown up. Unfortunately it isn’t interesting enough to watch and to loud to sleep through. The machines (in the modern FX tradition of TRANSFORMERS) look pretty good and there’s even a prototype Arnold apparently made of latex. There’s also a little kid thrown in, a la MAD MAX for no apparent reason. I’d kind of hoped that this incarnation might have had more in the way of a plot but that isn’t the case in this man versus machine potboiler.

H ey everybody! My name’s Dave and I have a fancy new column here at the Voice magazine. Just look at that header. Classy, eh? That’s how we roll. I’m here to lend a helping hand to those in need. I’m like a charity except I keep all the money. I’m the eyes and ears for those too busy with their own to keep a lookout for new acts to see. Hopefully in the months ahead I’ll steer us in the right direction and provide you with top notch entertainment picks as if I were shelling out the dough myself- which I may well do as a matter of fact! And if you see me, say hey!
So let’s get to it.
After scouring the internet for what
seemed like tens of minutes, I came across a pretty talented guy named Istvan Medgyesi . Istvan is a solo multi- instrumentalist and is known for his soulful and always evolving live performances. Doubling as the lead singer/guitarist for Magnum Opus , Istvan forges his path with the mission of bringing great music to the Ohio scene. If you like talented musicians playing good music, you’d do well by yourself to go see Istvan.
For a short answer, I’d say Istvan has his own brand of eclectic music. For the long one, I hear traces of Doc Watson, John Fahey and various ethnic stylings intertwined in his performances. Istvan, standing at an impressive 5’-10”, plays both the guitar and banjo during his live performances and he wields them with the fingers of a master picker whether fingerstyle, claw- hammer or straight up picking.
You can catch Istvan
June 26 th , 2009 as he will be performing at the Beck Café at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, Ohio at 8:00p.m.
You can also visit him at: www.myspace.com/istvanmedgyesi
For those with a taste for more pop- oriented fare, Lowly, The Tree Ghost is a pretty original take on the genre, if you can even call them that. Lowly is more original than most bands out there and with good reason. According to lead singer/songwriter Andrew Arbogast, Lowly, The Tree Ghost was born out of the modest goal of writing songs that he would enjoy and catchy enough for others to like as well. After adding a few friends, roommates and a couple postings on Craigslist, Lowly, The Tree Ghost was born.
This group differs from the norm in two aspects. Philosophically, they see themselves as an orchestra where everyone is valued as a conductor, and everyone is valued as a
troubadour. Instrumentally, they
feature a violinist, trumpeter and beautiful vocal harmonies featuring pianist Emily McKitrick over a solid rhythm section. The arrangements are fun and the execution is even-handed.
In the spirit of such acts as Neutral Milk Hotel, Sufjan Stevens, Iron & Wine, & Noah and the Whale, they surely bring something
special to the Cleveland scene.
They’ll be performing at Bela Dubby on June 15 th at 8:00p.m. You can also pick up their EP entitled “Apparitions.” Check them out at: www.myspace.com/ lowlythetreeghost
For those about to rock, we salute you with a dose of Venomin James . With
musical influences such as Black Sabbath, Kyuss and Entombed, you’ll be throwing up the devil horns in no time as you knock back a couple PBR tall boys. Lyrically, the band draws influence from such literary luminaries ranging from Albert Camus and Nietzsche to H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. If you love good metal and don’t have fun
at this show, there’s no hope for you. Venomin James will be performing at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights for a Military Appreciation night with Red Giant and Lo Pan Friday, June 19 th at 8:00p.m . Pick up a copy of their album “Crowe Valley Blues” while you’re at it and rock all the way home.

FORTY YEARS AGO...June 22, 1969 to be exact, on a quiet summer day in Cleveland, Ohio, a bit of molten steel splashed out of a rail car crossing a bridge over the Cuyahoga River, leaped over the railing and landed on a slick of industrial waste floating on the surface of the river. The slick caught fire. It wasn’t the first fire
on this river, nor the worst fire on the river. In fact, as fires go, it was minor. But it happened in the right place at the right time to gain national attention and to make enough
people take notice and take action. TO COMMEMMORATE THE REBIRTH OF THE CUYAHOGA RIVER: 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM: The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission, the Cuyahoga River Remedial Action Plan and the City of Cleveland commemorate the “Year of the River” with a public event at Settlers Landing with live music from The

Review By Sage Satori
When Everything Changes, Change Everything: In a Time of Turmoil, a Pathway to Peace By Neale Donald Walsch
Neale’s Conversation with God books have been on the NY Times Best Seller list with each release. He continues to write inspiring material and his newest book, When Everything Changes , Neale draws a great deal from his own perspective and experiences. Due to unfortunate circumstances, which he describes in the book, Neale was at one time homeless and destitute. He had lost everything and relates to the circumstances that many face in current times. Neale developed this piece of work to give hope and a new perspective in times of confusion and loss. The most difficult thing in life to face is change. A death, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, serious health issues, financial emergencies, or even a crisis of faith, these changes in our lives are challenges that we must face. But with change comes not only loss, but the potential for growth. When Everything Changes provides tools for dealing with loss and change to walk a path of healing
and growing. The following is an excerpt: I promised you from the outset – and I
meant it when I promised—that when you’re through here you’ll be able to change Fear into Excitement, Worry into Wonder, Expectation into Anticipation, Resistance into Acceptance, Disappointment into Detachment, Enragement into Engagement, Addiction into Preference, Requirement into Contentment, Judgment into Observation, Sadness into Happiness, Thought in Presence, Reaction into Response, and a Time of Turmoil into a Time of Peace. This is not to say that we will never have fear or worry and other negative emotions that are part of life, but the tools Neale coaches the reader through makes one better able to cope and to change these emotions. Unlike some other self help type books, When Everything Changes is not a
cheerleader for positive thinking but a guide with actual tools to help implement constructive changes in thinking and feeling. An interactive website has been set up as a companion to the book and can help the reader with further explanations and insight. When Everything Changes is currently in the Amazon top 100 sellers and can be purchased at your favorite book store or online. NEALE DONALD WALSCH is a resident of Ashland, Oregon, and is the author of more than twenty books, including the extraordinary Conversations with God series, which has sold in the multi-millions in 34 languages worldwide. His first children’s book was The Little Soul and the Sun , which became an instant spiritual children’s classic. He is a founder of the non-profit Conversations with God Foundation (www.cwg.org) and creator of Humanity’s Team (www.HumanitysTeam.com).

C ourtney Fairchild and Stanley Recordings announce the release of 11 Chances . The record is an edgy sonic landscape with songs inspired by Courtney’s move from her hometown of Dallas, TX to Philadelphia, PA and the relationships that were formed and ended as a result. The songs of 11 Chances were written for the most part in a friend’s guesthouse over the summer of 2008, and were at times fueled by copious amounts of bourbon and an illness that resulted in a high fever and bizarre dreams. The end result is a collection of songs that tell the universal story of the endings that need to happen in order to embark on new
beginnings. In November of 2006 Courtney moved from Dallas to Philadelphia to be closer to the Stanley Recordings artists, who in short order became her band. The move resulted in the dissolution of her marriage as well as the loss of her best friend and songwriting partners. The title track was the first song Courtney completed after her move and is a way of exorcising the demons of her exodus from Dallas by
viewing the situation from the perspective of the friend whom she lost. The leadoff single, “Circles,” was written in the car during Courtney’s escape to Philadelphia and deals with the broad subject of divorce through the lens of her own experience. “My Eyes Adjust,” which
is at once a scathing portrait and a loving homage to her adopted home of Philadelphia, was written over 18 sequestered hours with a lot of help from a
bottle of Maker’s Mark.
11 Chances is a departure in many ways from Courtney’s previous albums. It marks her first recording with a full band - Courtney was able to eliminate the many cross-country trips of the past to record with producer John Would (former Warren Zevon guitarist) by bringing John to Philadelphia to record with her live band in the studio. With her unique brand of songwriting at the core of the record, the live band added an element of spontaneity and speed to the recording process, as well as a new edginess that departs from her former recordings. Courtney’s music has been heard on MTV’s Road Rules X-Treme, the WB’s High School Reunion, and on AAA radio stations across the country. www.myspace.com/courtneyfairchild

Dual CD Release at Brother’s Lounge Sunday,
June 21st L ittle Fish Records announced today that it is hosting a CD release party for two of its artists on the same day. Both Robin Stone and David Wells , who share a similar style of music, will co-headline the event. The show will be held on Sunday, June 21, at Brother’s Lounge (11609 Detroit Ave. Cleveland 216- 226-2767), from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $12/advance, $15/day of show. Robin Stone , recently voted “Best Vocalist” by the Scene Magazine Readers Poll, has been coping with a growth in her vocal cord and paralysis that has affected her singing ability, along with a larger health issue she has been battling. Last year at this time, she could barely even sing, yet she has pushed forward to create 15 new tracks that re-define her as both a songwriter and singer. With her fifth
effort, “ Bad
Girl ”, Robin delves into R&B, Neo-Soul, Blues and Smooth Jazz which is a perfect summer sound recording. It has a light-hearted, feel good vibe about it. David Wells meanwhile, has been busy putting out his third full length CD in 3 years (8 total CD’s throughout his career), titled “ Skyline ”. This is a musical collaboration with Matt Marshak who hooked up as part of the Nuance Records marketing group for smooth jazz artists. Wells’ previous release, titled “Friday Afternoon”, picked up radio play on 41 stations nationally, and charted as high as #19 on the national smooth jazz charts, staying in the top 20 for 21 weeks. On the national “indie” smooth jazz charts, Wells hit #2 and stayed in the top 5 for 15 weeks. David has a busy tour schedule lined
up in support of the new release, with performances ranging in Kansas City, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, and up
to Toronto. LITTLE FISH RECORDS (LFR) is a Cleveland-based record label committed to presenting the finest local and regional sounds within a wide variety of musical genres, including Reggae, World, Americana, Blues, Folk, Jazz, and Rock. Little Fish Records is a division of Cross Track Music, Inc., a full-service provider of artist services, including management, promotions, distribution, bookings, publishing, and foreign licensing. LFR’s website (www.littlefishrecords.com) hosts and sells its “Cleveland Classics” comprehensive
collection of music by Cleveland-based artists from the 60’s to present. The site also offers digital downloads of sheet music, through its affiliation with the Music Notes stores.

7-Days-A-WeekReturn of High Proof Liquor!!
From The Loud & Proud Fox Studio Hey, Hunter back with ya and now that warmer weather is taking a stronghold on the North Coast that can mean only one thing......that the ‘screaming yellow’ Fox van is going to be logging a lot more miles. Actually, myself and the Fox van have already been busy since the first of May, with remote broadcasts at Girard’s Nursery in Saybrook, Fast Glass in Geneva Township, Goblin 2 at G.O.T.L. and the Saybrook Township Memorial Day parade, thanks to all who stopped by or waved! June is looking just as busy with all these events coming up, the 2009 American Cancer Society Relay For Life at the fairgrounds in Jefferson on the 12th-13th, the North Coast Safety Ride at Lakeside High School on the 13th, Bike Night at the Lake County
Captains game on the 15th, a live broadcast from Creekside Inn for a Ohio Lottery Keno Party on the 19th. another live broadcast from Bruno Bros Pizza new location at G.O.T.L. on the 27th, and I’m sure
there will be more. Looking down the road a little further & keep listening for
more details about the ‘Run to the Wall’ which is a bike run to the ‘The Moving Wall’ Memorial at Saybrook Township Park at the end of August and the 3rd Annual ‘Thunder On The Strip’ bike rally September 11-13th. Keep updated with where 107.5 FM The Fox will be out & about by clicking on the ‘on the road’ section at www.thefox1075.com and of course keep your radio dial locked on to 107.5 FM The Fox!!! Any questions email me [email protected]
When you have a webcam how do you act? So it’s official, we have a web cam on the Mark Allen and friends morning show! The question is “Now what???” So we launched the new Star 97.com and it came with this fancy mobile webcam that we can play with
and run live during our morning show. But it is something very new for Mark and me. I mean how interesting are we sitting and talking in the studio. I think during an everyday show it is nothing spectacular. Sure it is fun to pop it on and say hi to anyone who is logging on to the feed. But it’s the special events where complete chaos breaks out is when it will be most fun. Let’s just say we have tons people in the studio at once on Halloween or St. Patty’s day in wacky gear. That is when it will be fun. But for now I am looking at the thing and it’s on. If you were watching, you saw me type this story up. STRANGE! I guess my boss can log on and see what the heck we are doing. We have nothing to hide. But just think how you would like web cam at you office! Can you do everything you would normally do? It’s just a thought. And someone tell me how we are supposed to act while it is on. The obvious answer would be to act Normal. But we keep sticking our faces up close on it and do goofy stuff in front of the web cam. Oh well. It’s all for you the Star listener and web surfer. What would you like us to do on the cam?
From the wine stained desk of Star 97.1 and Oldies 102.5’s Kathy Davis: It was another successful season for the fabulous wine lovin’ ladies of “Women Who Wine” at DeBonne’ Vineyards in Madison. Our last event ‘A Salute to Soldiers’ went over so big that we decided not to take the summer off! This year we’ve got a pair of special events planned, the first happens on Wednesday, July 29, 2009 aboard the GoodTime III in Cleveland. “Women Who Wine” sets afloat at 7pm with French Chiropractic in Madison and The Ashtabula County Medical Center on-board for some fun on our sunset dinner cruise. Ladies, our special trip costs just $30 for a boatload of fun you won’t soon forget!! Get on-board and get your tickets today on-line at www.star97.com or www.oldies1025.net and stayed tuned for more details on this and other upcoming “Women Who Wine” events!!

Brains...Who Needs Them? Have you ever had someone say to you:
“If you had any brains… you’d be dangerous!”
Yeah me too! Thousands of times!
This often happens to me when I purposely cause a distraction to a rather boring conversation.
I would usually do this by crossing my eyes or putting my finger up my nose, something... anything to get this person to stop talking!
Or when after listening for over an hour of boring instructions on how to do something that I really don’t want to do anyway, I do it all wrong!
This used to happen whenever I was starting a new job which I didn’t want to take, that I wasn’t suited for, but had to take so I could get a paycheck.
Yeah… you’ve been there!
Your brain isn’t even able to comprehend what this robot is trying to tell you, it’s thinking of finding a way to get the hell out of there and find something else!
But the last time I was told this by someone, I decided to descend to the deepest crevices of my cavernous mind to find the true meaning to this often bewildering verbiage attack.
I mean what are they implying? If I didn’t have a brain I wouldn’t be able to stand there let alone listen to them flapping their lips! They’re not fooling me you need a brain to make both of those functions work!
So what is it that they are trying to say?
Perhaps they’re implying that I don’t have a mind, but then again it should be obvious that I do or I wouldn’t be able to think of all the ways I can get them to shut up! It takes a mind to do that!
No my friends… they are not implying that we don’t have a mass of grey matter floating about in our cranial cavities, they are, however, implying that this grey matter must be malfunctioning!
And they would be correct since they in fact caused the malfunction with their boring conversations or unwanted instructions to begin with!
What it really is, I think, is a direct reaction to their inability to carry on a conversation with, or give intelligent instructions to, someone that has a superior mind!
Their frustration takes over and they just blurt out this purposely vulgar attack
on your superior intellect to compensate for, and draw your attention away from, their inability to keep control of the
conversation, thus control over you!
Sure it would be nicer for
them to say, ”Your grey matter must
be malfunctioning!”, but then you’d lose out on all intellectual benefits they’ve just handed to you!
Hmm… “Snarp are you saying this really isn’t an insult?”
BINGO!! You got it! They’ve just complemented your superior intellect, you should immediately thank them and say, “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!”, thus throwing them into an intellectual tailspin!
