Designers “Neutral” Advice T I M E L E S S
E L E G A N C E
By Lesley Harris Colvett, photography from iStockphoto.com
It is no doubt that a neutral room provides a nice foundation for great design...a backdrop to then seamlessly add color, accessories, and art to create character and interest. Four Memphis interior designers share their expertise and take on “the neutral room” while incorporating color to the palette.
Cindy McCord Each project and client is unique, so when determining whether to use colorful or neutral tones depends on the client’s preferences, location of the project, and existing items to be used (if requested) must be taken into account. Neutrals are just as important as color in the overall scheme due to the fact that they play off each other depending on the direction of the project. If someone prefers a more monochromatic palette, splashes of color can be used for accent or interest. This can be done through a fun pillow fabric, artwork or accessories. If a client prefers more color, mixing it with neutrals can be effective and gives you the opportunity in the future to change the colors without having to redo the entire space. Cindy McCord Design 1289 South DuBray Place Collierville, TN 38017 901.610.3907 cindymccord.com
Warner Moore Every designer has a multitude of means at their fingertips to create visual interest. I generally use neutral tones and soft colors to create
28 / August 2017
a flattering backdrop for beautiful furniture, interesting textures, and wonderful objects and art. I have found that tranquil palettes allow for flexibility when it comes to changing the elements of a room, as we all inevitably do over time. And perhaps since we spend our days immersed in pattern and color, we like to give our eyes a rest when we come home. In today’s frenetic world many people want a peaceful haven to come home to. A background palette of neutral tones throughout a house allows for color and contrast in accessories, artwork and flowers. It is also more versatile over time. I approach the color palette differently depending on the room’s function and the client’s color preference, since people are naturally drawn to certain colors. I like to create quieter backgrounds in more heavily used spaces. This is not to say that bold hues are never used. Color evokes emotion, so I save the effects of strong color for the rooms that are less heavily trafficked - like a formal dining room or powder room. When using bold color, I am extremely selective with a tendency to stay at the warm end of the spectrum. I like to create these bolder effects in
powder rooms, dining room and guest bedrooms. Since these rooms are used less frequently, they can benefit from an extra punch of color and pattern. Ultimately, a neutral background creates a canvas for layering the beautiful objects that you love, the art and furnishings that you respond to, and the accessories and accent colors that make the room work for you striking the balance of sophisticated elegance and comfort. Warner Moore Interior Design 475 North Highland, #12 A Memphis, Tennessee 38122 901.848.9832 warnermoore@bellsouth.net
Steve Nabers “The state of color has never been more restless,” according to the well-known paint company Sherwin-Williams, and I tend to agree. After the past few years of neutral palettes, we are seeing more and more color being presented at furniture markets, interior design publications, and industry offerings. My personal design philosophy is not to follow trends per se. However, if you don’t subscribe to the general industry direction for
colors, you may have difficulty finding non-trending hues in paint, carpeting, fabrics, bedding, accessories and artwork. So, in one sense, the design industry dictates the design/color decisions we make.
Our design. Your style. O P E N W E D N E S D AY — F R I D AY
The color schemes that I select for my projects vary from job to job and depend on many factors: the client’s particular tastes, existing art, fabrics and rugs if those items are going to be incorporated, and lighting, which varies for each space. I prefer not to tie myself to a particular or cookiecutter type color scheme, but I do like consistency throughout a space for a seamless visual flow. To me, color brings in excitement and an element of surprise. However, I think care should be taken not to overdo it and to exercise restraint when using color in a decor plan. If color is utilized well in a room, it can be timeless, regardless of whatever is trending. I still find it gratifying to look through old interior design publications, such as an Architectural Digest from the ‘70s or ‘80s and see a well-done interior, no matter what color, that is still relevant. Classic. Steve Nabers, ASID, IDS Nabers Interiors 2665 Broad Avenue Memphis, TN 38112 901.323.2892 nabersinteriors.com Facebook: Nabers Interiors
Rachel Gray When it comes to interior colors, people tend to fall on opposite ends of the spectrum. Either you are a fan of neutrals, as expertly demonstrated in Nancy Meyers’ film The Holiday (2006), where the interiors of “Amanda’s” California home are awash in whites, or conversely, you may be passionate about color, as intensely depicted by Wes Anderson in creating the mood of the Tenenbaum home in his film The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). Over the past decade, many people would argue that the protagonist in the story of interior colors is named NEUTRAL. Neutral palettes have been marked indelibly into our consciousness, particularly by advertising and marketing campaigns à la Restoration Hardware. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, generating the ideal color choices for your home depends on several things…your cultural background, if you so identify,
nabersinteriors.com | 2665 Broad Avenue | Memphis, TN | 901.323.2892 Design staff: Steve Nabers, ASID, IDS | Jesse Nabers Alston, IDS
the orientation of your home to the sun, your existing furnishings and art, and your lifestyle. Vibrancy was a beacon star when determining color choices for a client who wanted to incorporate her Chilean heritage, culminating in selections of overall tones of yellow ochre and charcoal. Being mindful of how morning and afternoon light plays out in your home can also guide you in selecting colors that maximize your home’s potential. Morning light is clearer and purer than afternoon light, which tends to cast yellow and gray hues. Consider your existing art and furnishings to spark an idea for your home’s palette. A favorite painting might have an appealing color that can be matched and applied to the back of bookshelves for a special pop. And…always consider your lifestyle. If you have pets and young children, you may want to steer clear of neutrals, but if you do decide neutral is the
look you desire, select paint finishes that are durable and washable. “The makeup is simply an extension of the personality and colors and clothing all express something,” Gene Simmons. Whatever you do, express it with ownership.

gallery with Ken Hall
I’d suggest reading Light in August or The Guns of August or watching The Teahouse of the August Moon…pretty much anything except going outside in August for any purpose more strenuous than to have drinks on a shady patio. It’s just hot. Most of this month’s suggestions are, in fact, happily cloistered within air conditioned theaters and art galleries. With a bit of sunscreen, light clothing, sunglasses, and a hand fan to prepare, you might try the annual Goat Roast & Picnic near Senatobia. In its ample doses
of sultry, authentic, Mississippi mugginess, the setting brings the blues alive in a way you’ll never experience in a concert hall or festival. And you just don’t want to miss the long awaited, official grand opening of Crosstown Concourse with events inside and a Rock for Love-assisted musical lineup on the plaza. Much to do. Stay cool and enjoy. In the words of “The King”: thankyaverymuch.

h Ashton Arthur & Hunter Britcliffe The Wedding Date DECEMBER 16, 2017 Ceremony Location GERMANTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH How We Met: It was a Friday in 2013 when I thought I was going to a friend’s apartment to hang out, then Ashton walked in with a mutual friend. It took me nearly five hours to say two words to her that night, she was way out of my league and too beautiful for me. I begged my friend the next night to have her come back over to hang out. This time I said about ten words, so I was getting better. Luckily for me, she saw through the shyness and we haven’t stopped talking since that weekend. #AshtonsHuntIsOver

We became good friends in eighth grade after a Halloween party I hosted. Fortunately, he got separated from the group with whom he was trick-or-treating and ended up walking around the neighborhood with me and a couple of my friends. A couple months later, he asked to be my date at the Jingle Bell Ball at the Peabody. We continued as friends for the next several months, and he asked me to be his girlfriend before the start of freshman year. The rest is history!
h Ginny Stovall & Jordan Finney The Wedding Date MARCH 17TH, 2018 Ceremony Location BELLEVUE BAPTIST CHURCH How We Met: In the 8th grade, we were both placed on a worship team together at church, and we quickly became best friends. When I turned sixteen, we drove to Shelby Farms together, and Jordan told me that he had feelings for me. I laughed and said, “no really, who are you interested in?” Later, I realized that my feelings for Jordan were much more than “just friends.” We spent almost every single day of our senior year of high school together: laughing, playing music, going for car rides, taking pictures, fishing, and falling more and more in love every single day.

In Tune Music Lessons with Norbert Putnam By Sandi Butler Hughes; photographs courtesy of Norbert Putnam
I
t is not often when a memoir is penned that the reader finishes the book and is grateful for time spent within the pages, exploring the writer’s life. But such is the case with Music Lessons, A Musical Memoir, Volume 1, written by Norbert Putnam, a bass player, studio musician, music producer, and storyteller extraordinaire.
The stories Norbert regales in his memoir are a roll call of the who’s who in music history beginning in the mid-1960s. The subject matter and time period may be why his story resonates. Chances are, the songs and the artists have been a part of your own personal playlist during your life, and Norbert’s tales make you appreciate the music even more. From Elvis to Dan Fogelberg, The Monkeys to Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton to Joan Baez, they are all covered in this memoir. A native of Florence, Alabama, Norbert began fulfilling his calling to be a musician, much to his father’s dismay, in the summer of 1957. He was 15 years old and playing bass in a band when his dad shared a dark secret from his past: he too had been a musician as a young man. He told his son about playing in the bars on Beale Street, complete with gambling, wild women, and drinking. To a spirited boy from Florence, it sounded grand, and from that moment on, he devoted his life to making music! Music Lessons is organized into three parts: “The Early Years,” “The New Nashville Cat,” and “Record Producer,” and rather than chapters, his recollections are entitled “Lessons,” totalling 34 in this first volume. (A Volume Two is coming soon.) In “The Early Years,” Norbert recalls when he first heard about a new band called “The Beatles.” He wasn’t particularly impressed. In February, 1964, he was asked to be in the backup band for the opening acts for the Beatles first American tour. Despite his reservations about their music, the money was good, so Norbert, along with the entire Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section went to Washington, DC, to perform. It was his first time to ride on an airplane. The show was at a large basketball gymnasium, and the stage was a boxing platform. The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section backed opening performers Tommy Roe, The Righteous Brothers, and four other acts while the disinterested crowd passed the time until the Beatles finally took the stage. Norbert decided to hang around for their show to shoot some film footage with his Kodak Brownie 8mm movie camera, positioning himself on the floor, inches from the British lads. A photograph captured at that historic performance includes the back of Norbert’s head, camera in hand. In 1965, Norbert made the move to Nashville. With abundant work for studio musicians, he was working at least twelve hour days, playing for artists from Bobby Goldsboro to Henry Mancini. After a few years, along with childhood friend David Briggs, Norbert decided to strike out on his own. They bought property on Music Row in Nashville and opened Quadrafonic Studio. This led to working with talents such as Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, and Dan Fogelberg. Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” a summer standard for Millennials and Baby Boomers alike, is the work of Norbert and Quadrafonic. 52 / August 2017
By the early 1970s, Norbert was producing full-time, having given up the grueling schedule of a studio musician. But his renowned reputation as one of the best in Nashville led to a summons from Elvis Presley, and Norbert returned to the studio, playing bass on recordings during the last seven years of the King’s life. “He was the greatest artist I ever worked with,” Norbert said, “and the greatest guy. Elvis treated us like we were the stars,” he said. “And he was the greatest guy to work for. He never once came over to me to say, ‘Can you play something else on the bass, Norbert? I don’t really like that.’ I did 120 tracks with him, and he never asked me to change a note.”
What is Norbert’s favorite Elvis song? “I remember one night in the middle of a session, Elvis looked over and said, ‘Have y’all heard that new Simon and Garfunkel song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water?’ It was number one at the time. We said, ‘Yeah, we love that record.’ And Elvis said that he would love to show Garfunkel how to sing that!,” Norbert laughs at the memory. “Twenty minutes later, we’re playing ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water.’ And Garfunkel is great, but if you compare that vocal, Elvis took it to another level.” The songs and artists Norbert writes about in Music Lessons are brought to life not only by his anecdotes but by technology. At the end of many of the Lessons (chapters), a QR code is included. Do yourself a favor, if you don’t have a QR reader, download the free app before reading. It really enriches the experience to scan the code and hear the song, once you know the behind-the-scene stories including Elvis’ studio cut (not the live version) of “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Joan Baez’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and so many others detailed in his memoir. What is the lesson in Music Lessons? “It’s when you stumble and fall that you find the gold. David (Briggs) and I wanted to be songwriters, and so we built that little studio, Quadrafonic. We never became songwriters, but it became the most popular studio of that era. It’s good to have a plan for your life, but be ready to take a leftturn or a right-turn, because the turn you take may be better than anything you could have imagined. That’s sort of how my life went - I don’t think anything worked out exactly the way I wanted it to - but the surprise was always better.” It is also no surprise that music was indeed his destiny. Norbert Putnam may have dropped out of college, but he learned the lessons of a lifetime in the recording studio rather than the classroom...and created music that affected the soundtrack of American music history. Music Lessons, A Musical Memoir, Volume 1, is available on Amazon and at norbertputnam.com (where signed copies are also available). Norbert is included in a special exhibition, Dylan, Cash and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, on display through December 31, 2017. He will be performing in Memphis with the Band of Legends as part of Elvis Week on August 14th at the new Soundstage at the Graceland complex. For ticket information, visit graceland.com.

MEMPHIS IMPACT Meet the Staff Photography by Lindsey Lissau Biographies by Indiviual Staffers
My name is Langston Myers, and I am a sophomore at St. Mary’s Episcopal School. I am the Editor of Memphis Impact, and I am an avid writer, which is my inspiration for the creation of Memphis Impact. I write not only for this magazine but for my school newspaper and another online magazine. I swim and play tennis for St. Mary’s and am a cheerleader for MUS, but I am also involved in student government programs like Model United Nations. When I am not doing homework or any of these things, I spend just about every waking hour at youth group.
My name is Carolyn Lane, and I am a junior at St. George’s Independent School. I am excited to be a part of Memphis Impact and hope to continue writing articles and designing pages in the future. As Memphis Impact’s final layout editor, in addition to my own pages, I construct the final InDesign file to be sent to press each issue. I will be Editor-in-Chief of my school’s newsmagazine next year, which won best newspaper/magazine in Tennessee the past two years. I am the editor-in-chief of my school’s literary magazine, a Bridge Builder, and the coordinator of book club. I was chosen to represent Tennessee in the Al Neuharth Free Spirit Program, which accepts one journalist per state. I look forward to seeing where the magazine goes in the future.
My name is Madison Grinder, and I’m a sophomore at Hutchison School. I’m honored to be a part of the Memphis Impact staff as a writer and photographer, and I have loved working on projects, including Memphis Fashion Week and Emerging Bands and Artists in Memphis. Aside from my position at Memphis Impact, I play volleyball and lacrosse for my school and play competitive lacrosse with No Excuse. I also spend my time volunteering at many service organizations, such as the Salvation Army, Su Casa, and the special needs program at Second Presbyterian Church.

Every summer, Second Presbyterian Church offers mission trips through the junior high and high school youth ministries: 3Degrees and True North. I, along with 4Memphis Impact writer Madison Grinder, traveled to Budapest, Hungary with a team of eleven other Memphis high school students and our two youth group leaders.
L
In Hungary, our mission began with our partnership with The Paulus Movement, a local Evangelical organization. Our team united with Paulus for the primary purpose of spreading the Gospel and teaching English to Hungarian students by way of an annual English converse camp held at a local high school. This year, the camp was called Upgrade 1, and it ran for five days from the morning until the late afternoon. Each morning began with a 25-minute game hosted by the American leaders, starting the day with active and exciting games truly set a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for each day of camp. Following the morning games, the American leaders, myself included, would meet with groups of Hungarians to lead the English language sessions. These groups were determined by both fluency and age: the youngest and least fluent students were assigned to group one, and the fluency and age both increased from group one to group six. Personally, I worked with group two where the students could somewhat speak and understand some English but lacked extensive vocabulary and confidence. However, through the games that we played and the exercises that we completed throughout our sessions each day, the Hungarians became much more confident in their abilities. Moreover, these teens began to utilize and recognize new vocabulary, including sports and occupations we taught them. Likewise, the students became much more expressive and comfortable around me and the other American leaders. This level of comfort and trust eliminated the need for the Hungarian leaders from Paulus to translate much of the conversations, like in the eye-to-eye sessions between the Americans and the Hungarian students. Each day, the American leaders would have one-on-one, eye-to-eye sessions with the Hungarian students. At this time, we were able to get to know the Hungarians and learn about their lifestyles. Additionally, at these times, we would share the Gospel and try to answer any and every question that the students had for us. Then, we would lead a sports period or host workshops, like swing dancing, 56 / August 2017
art, and friendship bracelets, the remainder of the afternoon. The games paved the way for even more friendships to be formed between us and the Hungarians, which was such a blessing. Additionally, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights of our camp, we organized “American Culture Nights” through which we would introduce American cultural activities to the Hungarians. We arranged a board game night, a “Christmas in July” night, and a dance party and color war night, and each night brought more excitement to the eyes and hearts of the Hungarians. With each day, the Hungarians opened both their hearts and their minds to our team and to the Lord. By the same token, Henry Holmes, a 2017 graduate of Memphis University School who led the second level English Group with me said that “there was a group of four girls who hardly said a word in our group on Monday. However, by the end of the week, they were the most outgoing of all the other students, and they couldn’t stop smiling throughout the day.” Watching these transformations first-hand amongst the Hungarians and being a part of a movement that has surpassed our local realm of service was such a blessing for each and every one of us on our team. In a city like Memphis with extreme amounts of poverty, there are opportunities for service around every corner. This trip helped me form relationships with people across the globe, so serving in my home town will be much easier.

The Final Memphis says goodbye to Z-bo By Ellie Weeks
On July 6th, 2017, after 8 seasons playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, Zach Randolph “Z-Bo” signed with the Sacramento Kings on a two-year deal claiming to provide a “veteran presence” to this team. In 2008, before Z-Bo’s career with the Grizzlies, no one would have ever thought of him as this stabilizing role model for a young team. Moreover, as Memphians mournfully watch Zack head off to further his career and his legacy, many may forget the ways in which the Grizzlies transformed Z-Bo and Z-Bo helped fortify the identity of the Memphis Grizzlies. Randolph did not venture into the Grindhouse already a Superstar, now
third in games played, first in rebounds, seventh in assists, and third in points scored. Prior to his recruitment in 2008, he had been largely an unwanted, disruptive force for the Blazers, Knicks, and Clippers. Consequently, it should be said that Z-Bo did not discover his true career until he found influential coaching and wonderful teammates through his home at the Grizzlies. Through his 8 seasons on this team, he transformed into an extraordinary player while capturing the hearts of Memphians in the process. Furthermore, Z-Bo played an extremely beneficial role in creating the Grindhouse and its strong identity, for he is more closely associated with “Grit’N’Grind” than every player besides Tony Allen. As a catalyst for the Grizzlies, Randolph brought with him a sense of intensity, toughness, and comradery, which excited fans and inspired loyalty among Memphians to both the city and Memphis Grizzlies basketball. This was undoubtedly seen as a result of Z-Bo’s enthusiasm towards the team and his influence on its character. Along with his dedication to the team and basketball, Z-Bo supported the act of giving back. In this way, he displayed his love for the city of Memphis, which he grew to call his 2nd home, and became a role model for others to do the same. He exhibited the importance of service in a community like Memphis in many ways. First off, Randolph began providing hundreds with holiday dinners during Thanksgiving. Additionally, he donated more than $20,000 to MIFA, which was directed towards building 100 homes in the Memphis community. Because service is one of the greatest components to Memphis culture, Randolph’s continuous donations acted as a demonstration of his love for this city. Today, Memphians hang their heads low at the loss of one of the greatest faces of the Memphis Grizzlies, one that meant to so much to the team and to the city. For this reason, the Grizzlies plan to retire Randolph’s number, 50, in display of their gratitude to the way Z-Bo has turned the Grizzlies’ basketball into a perennial playoff team and a unifying force for the entire city of Memphis.
