BASELESS ATTACKS ON OUTRIGHT Its a shame that foes of equal rights for gay and lesbian people have turned their sights to organi­ zations formed to protect the most vulnerable members of our com­ munity — gay and lesbian youth.

Outright Vermont’s safe schools programs are designed to foster respect and tolerance in our schools — even for those who hap­ pen to be different. The assault on Outright Vermont raises the same question as attacks on the recently passed civil-union law: Will we embrace gay and lesbian Vermon­ ters as full-fledged members of our community, or are we committed to another generation of secondclass citizenship for them?

Vermonters for Civil Unions con­ demns the baseless attacks on Outright Vermont and urges all Vermonters who care about pro­ moting the safety and well-being of all Vermont’s youth to do the same.

Ruth Dwyer and a threat to women’s rights...

Baird (and Democrats) aren’t totalitarians, but her “Big Lie” — substitution of (Democratic) “party truth” for the simple truth — sets her on a “slippery slope.” For as a Vermont attorney, having passed the toughest state bar exam (California’s only second), Baird surely knows Vermont statute man­ dates the Legislature elect the gov­ ernor when no one has a majority — and votes for Anthony Pollina cannot create a Dwyer majority.

Barring a Republican Legislature, in which event Dwyer will surely have the highest vote, a principled vote for Anthony Pollina allows liberals to send a message to a centrist, Clinton clone (Dean), and allows admirers of social democratic achieve­ ments... to vote their hopes, per­ haps even realizing their dreams.

— Joe Stetson Essex Junction Stetson is vice-chairperson o f the Chittenden County Progressive Party Committee.

DWYER NOT QUALIFIED Now that the civil-unions bill has been in effect for three months, the time has come for us to assess the impact it has had. Has it increased our taxes? Has it affected prescription drug prices?

CORRECTION: Our “prose” is slipping. In a story about the merger of the Women’s Health Center and Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (“A More Perfect Union?” October 11), we mis-identified Gov. Howard Dean’s stance on women’s reproductive rights. As many readers advised us, Gov. Dean is pro-choice.

September 27]. Personally, I am a huge fan of Peter, but let’s be hon­ est here: He is the most self-right­ eous guy outside of Ruth Dwyer’s campaign headquarters. He has the privilege of making his seemingly endless opinions known on a weekly basis from behind a news­ paper column. Every week, “Inside Track” reads like a laundry list of who meets Mr. Freyne’s approval and who does not, who has “earned” his so-generous compli­ ments and who has earned his bashing. And everybody earns a cute nickname.

Chuckle as I do, the patroniz­ ing nature of these George-W.Bush-bestowed-1 ike names, and of the column in general, certainly do have a certain air of self-righteous­ ness. Like I said, I’m a weekly reader of Inside Track and I enjoy FREYNE THE SELF-RIGHT­ it immensely, and I certainly have EOUS ONE never been accused of being mod­ I find it interesting that Peter est with my own opinions, but I Freyne feels it necessary to label know that it would do Peter Terry Bouricius and Dean Corren as self-righteous [Inside Track, Continued on page 24a

Has Vermont become a “homosex­ ual haven,” as some of the bill’s opponents have claimed? Has it destroyed our faith in God? Have husbands and wives stopped loving one another? Once we have asked ourselves these questions we must then ask ourselves if it is worth it to elect a governor who has made slanderous remarks about our schools, endorsed criminal destruc­ tion of private property, and has been ostracized by her own party.

Because those Republicans who have banded together against Ruth Dwyer know her personally, I trust their assessment of her: She is not qualified to be the Governor of Vermont. I will vote for Howard Dean!

Real Survivors Marie Poleet, 73, spent 40 hours trapped beneath a lawn tractor that fell on her one Sunday afternoon while she was mowing her lawn in Jerseyville, Illinois. Two boys waiting for a school bus spotted her lying in a deep ditch Tuesday morning and notified the authorities.

• A Linthicum, Maryland, woman spent the afternoon stuck to the floor after she lost her balance while putting down linoleum and fell into the glue she had spread on the floor for the tiles. Baltimore County Fire Department spokesperson John M. Scholz said the woman finally managed to call for help, but by the time county para­ medics and firefighters arrived, the woman had freed herself.

Unfortunately, she had sat on her couch, where the rescue crew found her, wearing only a bra and panties, partially stuck to the couch with her legs crossed and glued together and a cordless phone cemented to her hand.

Lucky, Up to a Point A man dressed as a Hasidic Jew tried to rob a Miami pawn­ shop, but the store manager wrestled him for the weapon, took it away, pointed it at the robber and pulled the trigger.

Fortunately, the gun wasn’t loaded. “No bullets,” Robert

Glacum said, “so I whacked him over the head with it, like five times.” The robber broke free and got into his getaway car just as Glacum’s assistant, Armando Borelly, came out of the pawnshop with a shotgun and blasted the front tire.

Despite the flat tire, the robber managed to drive away.

Fur Fights Back A 46-year-old Missouri man and his 25-year-old son were bow-hunting in western Colorado when a black bear came out of the bushes and bit the younger man on the but­ tock. “His father was carrying a .44-caliber handgun, but appar­ ently became so unnerved by the attack he ended up throw­ ing the weapon at the bear,” Division of Wildlife spokesper­ son Todd Malmsbury said, adding the bear responded by biting the father on the thigh.

Part of the Problem A month after Chester L. Spayd complained that violent crime in his neighborhood made him fear for his life, police charged the 28-year-old Reading, Pennsylvania., man with the ax murder of his moth­ er’s live-in boyfriend. Spayd had been quoted in a story in the Reading Times and Reading Eagle as saying that as a result of recent shootings, “I don’t

come out of my house much, and nobody does around here.”

Police said Spayd emerged from his house long enough to drive to the next county and dump the body of Kenny Long, 64, along a highway.

Get-Rich Scheme of the Week Bobby Brownfield, the director of funeral homes in Hodgenville and Elizabethtown, Kentucky, was charged with stealing more than $200,000 in prepaid funeral policies by declaring people dead who were still alive.

will be served his company’s food, which prisoners and prison officials alike have criti­ cized.

more original appellations, according to government offi­ cials, who noted requests for name changes have risen from 4000 a year in 1997 to 4700 last year. “A lot of Swedish names are regarded as being too common,” Mattias Benke, a ersonal name examiner at the 'atent and Registration Office, told Reuters news agency.

“Particularly people with a sur­ name ending in -son want to change.” Benke explained peo­ ple can take a new name only if it doesn’t already exist, unless they can prove it has been in their family, or they can “make one up.”

Going Nowhere W hen Karen Kershaw of Akron, Ohio, sued used car dealer Rick Remmy, 39, claim­ ing he reneged on a deal to sell her a truck for $300 cash and $400 in sexual favors after she made good on her part of the deal, Remmy took his case to “The People’s C ourt” television show because the producers agreed to pay any financial judgment. Remmy insisted he agreed to sell her the truck for

Love Hurts When Paul McGregor, 31, proposed to Emma Priestley, 19, she told him that if he would swim a river, she would marry him. He jumped into the 120foot-wide River Trent in Newark, England, and made it about half way across when he disappeared. Authorities who recovered McGregor’s body said even though he was a good swimmer, he had been sucked under by fierce currents, which several signs along the river bank warn against. “If we hadn’t been so in love,” Priestley said, “it wouldn’t have happened.”

Collin Chevalier of St. Albans has captured the Best Bagger award from the Vermont Grocers Association, beating out a field of a dozen or so of Vermonts finest. The bagging contest was fierce and ran into overtime; the first round ended in a tie for first and second. Chevaliers employer, Dick Blouin of Blouin’s IGA in.St. Albans, never doubt' ed his candidate for a moment: “I knew Collin had a good chance to win. He is a hard worker and a real pleasure to have at the store.”

Chevalier now moves on to Dallas and the national bagging competition, set for late January.

$5 a day for kennel fees and $75 for disposal. The vacancy looms a little larger because there is at least one dog in town that definitely needs catching. There is also an ongoing need for dog policing: A recent call from a concerned citizen with a “demised dog in his driveway” was handled neatly because the unfortunate dog was actually hit on Route 16, and the town clerk ruled that this was a matter for the state. But select board member Robert Croteau observes that he’s not exactly swamped with applicants, raising a worry over whether dogs are getting left behind in the new economy. . . or at least being left alone.

’Tis the Season

Dining Out An ad in the real estate section announces this alarming news: The Miss Bellows Falls diner is up for sale. One hundred forty-five thousand dollars buys you the high-backed booths and generous helpings of nostalgia. Miss Bellows Falls is a scramped but classy lunch car built in the 1920s and is the only Vermont diner listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s also some­ th in g of a culinary'institution. Let’s hope the new ^owners feel morally bound to keep serving those big, gooey, open-face sandwiches smothered in gravy.

Flying Under the Influence Students at the Cold Hollow Career Center in Enosburg say the sudden appearance of a dozen or more dead cedar waxwings piling up outside the school can be attributed to avian inebriation.

Waxwings eat berries, and the nearby berry sources have a distinct odor of fermentation. The students speculate the tipsy birds have been flying under the influence and crashing into their reflections in the windows of the school building. “They have a very erratic flight pattern when they are drunk,” says teacher Robert Hayes.

The solution? Streamers on the windows to break up the reflections and ropes in the trees “so it would look like snakes,” says Hayes. This plan is sort of working — the number of dead birds has dropped from 12 to five — though frankly the rope-and-snake idea seems a little loopy.

It may be the gloom that comes with shorter days and colder nights, or the steady advance of election season, but headlines have taken a turn for the terse. Spotted recently: “Listen to Your Mother,” “Eat Spaghetti with Anthony Pollina” and “It’s National Metric Week, in Case You Care.”

There’s no shortage of entertainment in the Barre police log. On September 25 someone was spotted riding a bicycle down North Main Street carrying six new pairs of sweat pants “with tags and hangers.” Later that same day, a woman went into her mother’s house on South Main Street and discovered “a strange young man talking to the cat,” although the report is silent on what the strange young man had to say, or whether the cat was holding up its end of the conversation. Later that same day there were “girls flashing people on Summer Street.” W ho says there’s nothing going on in Barre?

A Citizen o f the World Samuel Grenier of Canada turned up at the % Derby Line customs station recently, where he began wondering aloud whether there was really a need for border inspections. To illustrate his point, he told officials he had just crossed onto American soil by coming through the woods. “After further conversation, Mr. Grenier started to leave the office, and upon being asked where he was going, Mr. Grenier said he was ‘going for a walk.’” Which he did, and soon enough he was picked up head­ ing south on foot by a border patrol agent.

Grenier then began another discussion, this one rather heated, about the oppressiveness of international boundaries. This civil disobedience escalated into an uncivil tussle that ended with an application of pepper spray; he was then “hand­ cuffed without further incident” and now waits in an American jail for judicial processing, eventual release and perhaps a chance to cause another uproar on the Canadian side.

The Stowe Area Association and assorted Stowe residents are not amused by the appearance of the Mountain Roadhouse’s “Half-Naked Women at Halftime” campaign. Apparently Monday night football games are being spiced up by women described by police as “basically in tassels and a thong.” Bar owner Robert Marcus characterizes the women as “ambassadors of good will;” one of their diplomatic duties is to allow patrons to drink Jell-O shots from their cleavage.

Stowe Area Association spokesperson Valerie Rochon points out, with an almost audible sniff, “We market Stowe as an upscale resort, and I don’t think this kind of entertainment fits with that.”

Marcus counters, that he has actually cleaned up the act by switching vendors; the new “ambassadors” wear shorts instead of bits of string, and they are asked to refrain from lap dancing. “I’m just an hon­ est businessman who wants to make a buck in town,” he says.

A smokin’ sextet breathes new life into an old genre B y P a m e la Po lsto n t’s a warm and sweaty night at Higher Ground, and the club is filled with what you might call an earthy audience: young white people in faux dreadlocks, baggy pants, tie-dye, T-shirts embla­ zoned with band names or political slogans. The crowd on the dance floor is writhing with a sort of haphazard but rhythmic choreography. It feels like a community, where everyone appears to know some kind of secret handshake and looks suspi­ ciously happy.

It’s not an unfamiliar sight from the stage if you’re Smokin’ Grass — the Burlington-based band has inspired similar ardor at gigs from coast to coast. They play a hybrid of music most easily identified as newgrass, but more accurately, if tortu­ ously, described as a sort of jazzy-bluegrass-thatsometimes-rocks-and-sometimes-jams. One critic — at the Old Settlers Music Festival in Texas last spring — opted for “sets a fire under traditional bluegrass, injecting it with bursts of jazz, gobs of funk and the occasional crunch and grind of classic rock.” Another noted that Smokin’ Grass “trans­ formed the crowd from blanket sitters into square dancin’ twirlers.” Some reviewers simply settle for “slam grass.”

Smokin’ Grass might prefer to just call their music smokin’, but they’re not alone in carrying the multi-genre banner; decidedly unorthodox permu­ tations of the standard Appalachian-style quartet have been around long enough that even purists can’t pretend to be shocked. Some of the betterknown experimentalists are David Grisman, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, The Bad Livers; closer to home models include The Gordon Stone Band and Jazz Mandolin Project. Each is different in the way they deviate from tradition, but these bands tend to share an aesthetic of improvisation and receptivity to a variety of roots-based musical influences.

While Smokin’ Grass sticks to its roots enough to be invited to bluegrass festivals, they’re not averse to an idiosyncratic interpretation of Duke Ellington, Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix. And they do, after all, have a drummer. But not without some effort: Like the celluloid heavy-metal spoofband Spinal Tap, Smokin’ Grass have had a hard time keeping drummers — though not, thankfully, due to spontaneous combustion. Current drummer Eric Hamell follows a line of some half-dozen oth­ ers, and that’s in part, believes bassist and band spokesperson Mike Santosusso, because the genre is difficult for drummers. It’s not like there’s a lot of role models. “If you’re looking for a bluegrass drummer, you’re looking at an empty file,” he quips.

But some flux has occurred in front of the kit, too. Santosusso reveals more than a dozen people

have played in Smokin’ Grass since their inception some six years ago. That makes the current solid six-piece — with dobro player Adam Frehm, gui­ tarist Doug Perkins, mandolinist Beau Stapleton and fiddler Patrick Ross — all the more satisfying.

O ut on yet another tour right now, a 10-state excursion basically down the eastern seaboard, Smokin’ Grass is testing its new format in the band’s van — a sort of “airport shuttle thing with a Starsky and Hutch stripe down the side,” describes Santosusso. He says the band’s interpersonal rela­ tions have never been better, “but of course this is the first time we’ve had six on the bus, so I’ll let you know in a couple of weeks.”

ow that Phish is temporarily retiring from the road, fans are looking to see which of the multitude of jam-type bands will move into position number one. Smokin’ Grass has no such pretensions; they’re not even close to that level of renown, and two of the members still have day jobs — with indulgent employers. But the similari­ ties in approach must be noted: touring as often as possible; building a grassroots network of loyal fans; and spreading a kind of one-love Zeitgeist with the sheer joy of playing music. • Nobody said this level of commitment would be easy. “It’s a slow process picking up fans,” admits Santosusso. “W ith so many markets and so many places to play, it’s hard to get back to them quickly enough to build up a fan base.” The band tries not to overplay at home and wear out their welcome — they had only three gigs at Higher Ground last year.

The genre, too, imposes limits; you just don’t hear much bluegrass on the radio, experimental or otherwise. College radio is key, along with a hand­ ful of underground folk shows — “but they’re big nuts to crack for a little band from Vermont,” Santosusso laments. It’s better in the south “where people know what [bluegrass] is,” he adds.

Smokin’ Grass ruled in the West this summer: Their shows at the four-day High Sierra Music Festival in California were indeed a high point, and listeners loved them all over the state. “We’ve never had a reception like that,” Santosusso marvels.

It didn’t hurt that the band took along their hot new fiddle player, Patrick Ross, an 18-year-old who burns up the stage with lickety-split licks and an engaging presence (see sidebar). But the truth is, Smokin’ Grass as a whole have never sounded bet­ ter. Perkins, a veteran of The Mandolinquents and The Gordon Stone Band, flatpicks like nobody’s business. His turns are reciprocated on the other side of the stage by the deceptively calm Frehm on

Stapleton, a Colorado native and member of the new-to-Burlington bluegrass band Limberjack County, is as agile on the mando as Ross is on fiddle, and seems to have naturally taken on the role of frontman. Santosusso’s rock V roll roots translate into some propulsive bass lines that pair nicely with Hamell’s kicking drums. Add to this some decent har­ monies and you’ve got, well, some smokin somethin. ' While they’re home, Smokin’ Grass have benefited from a little piscine generosity lately — invited to record at the Phish Barn, where they’ll work a few more days on their follow-up to 1998’s Take Yer Pick, sched­ uled for release in December. Then it’s back to the road for another 12 days, a few more states, where Smokin’ Grass will collect more followers, blade by blade. “I don’t have very high aspirations,’’ admits Santosusso — though he may not be speaking for all of them. “If I could just play music for a living and not work for any­ one else, that’s all I ask for.” @

ate this summer Patrick Ross was still “on cloud nine” about recording in the studio with Smokin’ Grass.

“I’m really psyched that they’re allowing me to play with them ,” he says modestly. But the mem­ bers of Smokin’ Grass are equal­ ly, and unanimously, happy to bring the 18-year-old into the fold. After all, he’s a prodigy who won the Vermont OldTime Fiddle Championship in

Barre at age 14, has already studied with the famous Nashville-based violinist Mark O ’Connor, and electrifies audi­ ences with a sophistication that belies his boyish appearance.

Ross, who hails from the tiny town of Canaan near the Canadian and New Hampshire borders, was accepted at Berklee School of Music after graduat­ ing from the Lyndon Institute last spring. But a summer of

touring with the Grass guys left him hungry for more, so he’s put off the Boston music college for a year. If you’re young enough, the inside of a cramped band bus is still pretty exciting; the magic on-stage in front of adoring audiences even more so.

The match between Ross and his present band mates apparently was in the cards. “I was at Club Metronome at age

Mozart or Marianne?

Spinning solutions for getting out of a funk

By Lynda Majarian usic may be the food of love, and Mozart might boost IQs and help plants grow, but how does music help us through those long, dark nights of the soul? Eschewing a scientific approach — frankly, we’d rather shop for CDs — Seven Days sent me to discover how Vermonters get untangled from the blues. Conse­ quently, I spent a week approach­ ing friends and strangers and ask­ ing, essentially, “Are you a wallower or a mood-elevator?”

“Down music actually makes me feel better,” claims Middlebury writer and artist Ernie McLeod, “because I think at least I have something in common with a few other miserable specimens of reali­

ty. I’ve always found beauty in despair and, once everything is cleared away, peace.”

McLeod efficiently matches his musical choices to the severity and cause of his despair. Emmylou Harris, Cowboy Junkies and Lucinda Williams help him stew in really black moods, he says. For “seething romantic-betrayal depres­ sion,” he vows, “there’s no finer soundtrack than Marianne Faithfull’s Broken English album.”

Kitschy, nostalgic depression responds to “the tragically deceased Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline.

But perky music will never do,” McLeod insists. “It mocks me when I’m down.” What’s more, he adds, “I distrust those who believe a perky song can snap them out of it.”

singing duets with Mike Czarny, host of 95XXX-FM’s morning show. “I’m not into wallowing,” Czarny says firmly. “That just seems like self-pity to me.” Lenny Kravitz, Queen and techno music “help me climb out of a rut and think in an upbeat way,” he says, “and classical music helps me relax.”

The effervescent Lesli Blount, director of development and com­ munications for the Burlingtcgi YMCA, confesses, “I listen to my Touched By Love album, full of music from the ’70s that everyone loves to hate, if I want to embrace melancholy and revel in the angst of my high-school years.” Alter­ nately, she says, “If I want to get over my bad self, it has to be a woman who yells. Aretha Franklin and Ani DiFranco kick me in the butt and say, ‘Get over it.’”

Natalie Neuert, program man­ ager for the University of Vermont Lane Series, has happier memories of her free-wheeling youth, and lifts herself out of low moods with The Grateful Dead and Steely Dan. “They take me back to my twen­ ties,” she says, “when I didn’t have two kids and a mortgage to worry about.” For more introspective moods, she likes the quiet, somber sounds of Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert— solo improvisational jazz piano that sounds, she says, “like it was recorded in an echoey cathe­ dral.”

Jenn Karson, formerly of Zola Turn and now leader of Jenn Karson and Bad Ju Ju, shares, “At the lowest point in my life, Nirvana and P.J. Harvey saved me. They

just let out totally raw emotion.”

Now, instead of listening to emo­ tional vivisection, she sublimates sadness into inspiration and writes music. Writing and singing com­ fort me,” she says.

For some of us the prescription for pain can be a specific song. I’ve been known to play Macy Gray’s “Still” and Sheryl Crow’s “The Difficult Kind” until my neighbors are reaching for razor blades. On the flip side is Allan Nicholls, an actor, director and musician who splits his time, when he’s not work­ ing on films, between Huntington and Montreal. “I used to play ‘Layla’ by Derek and the Dominos every morning,” he recalls. “It put me in the right head space.”

Nicholls now prefers the spirit­ ed music of Del Amitri, a band that shares his Scottish roots, and They Might Be Giants. “They’re upbeat,” he pronounces, “with a sense of irony missing in a lot of music.” He likes Celtic music — “sad, but uplifting,” he describes, but rejects musicians “like Jackson Browne, who take themselves too seriously.”

Tom Ayres, marketing director at the Flynn Center for the Arts, feeds his sorrow with vintage, hard­ core country and classic soul. “Or I’ll play Neil Young and Lou Reed at threshold-out-of-pain decibels,” he explains. Ayres, who broadcasts “Emotional Weather Report” Tuesday nights on WRUV-FM 90.1, insists, “The greatest depres­ sion song ever written is Hank Williams’ ‘I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.’” As evidence he pro­ vides lyrics: “Hear that lonesome

whippoorwill/He sounds too blue to fly/The midnight train is whin­ ing low/I’m so lonesome I could cry.

Vermont State Senator Dick McCormack finds upbeat music “Pollyanna-ish,” but insists that “overtly sad music monkeys with you.” McCormack, who plays gui­ tar professionally when he’s not at the Statehouse, says he raises his spirits with Louis Armstrong and Bach. “But for that cosmic depres­ sion that hits about once a year, I schedule time for Mahler’s Third Symphony. It’s disturbing, very heavy and sad, but ends powerfully with what I consider to be earned optimism,” McCormack explains.

“Mahler was in a bad marriage, and I think he was dying when he wrote the piece. He was working through universal concerns.”

Mahler didn’t make the playlist for Amy Donath, buyer for Burlington’s Pure Pop Records.

“For sheer desperation it’s Joy Division,” she insists. “They’ll either help you or make you want to slit your throat.” The downbeat Arab Strap “strikes a familiar chord, and makes me feel like someone understands,” she vows. “I love The Beatles, but since John Lennon died, listening to their music makes me too sad.” Instead of Sergeant Pepper, Donath feels fine via Weens White Pepper CD. “It’s happy, and makes me think of someone I love.”

For me, wallowing in despair calls for Tom Waits, he of the grit­ ty, boozy voice, morose melodies and dissolute tales of cheap love gone bad. Luckily, my landlord and

“ Down m usic a ctu a ll makes me feel better, because I th in k at least I have som ething in common w ith a few other m iserable specim ens of

iWilllWP M idd leb urv w rite r Ernie McLeod downstairs neighbor— who is cur­ rently building stereo speakers as tall as totem poles — is a Waits fan, too. But there’s no substitute in the misery department for Johnny Cash. I grew up to the soundtrack of “Folsom Prison Blues” and “I Walk the Line.”

Recently my aunt gave me those old records, and I still feel an achy thrill when the gravelly voiced Cash confesses: “I shot a man in Reno/Just to watch him die.” Now there’s a man with a reason to be depressed.

For musical Prozac, I turn to my first loves, The Beatles, and the

peace-inducing properties of Ravi Shankar’s Traditional Chants o f India.

All surveys, no matter how ran­ dom or scientifically unsound, require conclusions, and here are mine: First, if you want to find out something about someone’s person­ ality fast, pose the music-anddepression question. It’s as revealing as a Rorschach test, and you don’t need ink-stained cards as props.

Second, it seems that whether we want to sink into depression or find a lifeboat out, all we really need is an understanding voice. (Z)

12 playing with Leftover Salmon and met Smokin’ Grass,” Ross remembers — though it may have been an earlier incarnation called Upside Down Frown. But while Ross finished high school, playing baseball and soccer — he was an All-State goalie — as well as the fiddle, the older musicians kept tabs on him. His mother wisely wouldn’t let him go on the road until he was 18, and after he crossed that milestone Feb­ ruary 22, Smokin’ Grass asked Ross to accompany them on a West Coast tour. He didn’t hesi­ tate. “I guess I really impressed them,” he says. “I’d really been practicing a lot.”

“We asked him because he’s such a great player,” Smokin’ Grass bassist Mike Santosusso says simply. At the summer tour’s apex, the High Sierra Festival, Ross played with Leftover Salmon, Dr. Didj and The Yonder Mountain String Band as well as Smokin’ Grass, Santo­ susso explains. “Patrick has what we call ‘big ears’ — he hears everything and doesn’t need to know the song.”

“Now I’m getting into learn­ ing music just in case I have to,” Ross puts in. “I’ve played by ear forever.” And what does he listen to for inspiration? Mark O ’Connor, of course, but also jazz recordings by greats like Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.

Still too young to drink in the clubs he’s performing in, Ross already has a decade of playing behind him. It started when his father put a fiddle in his hands at age eight — the elder Ross’ own father, grandfa­ ther and great-grandfather had played the instrument, too.

Patrick had played it only a few short years when his father died of a heart attack. He and his younger sister found the body, in fact, in the motel the family owned at the time. Working through that trauma, Ross says now, made him stronger. Even so, without his dad around to mentor him, he nearly aban­ doned his instrument.

Mom would have none of that; she organized a fundraiser to send her young son to O ’Connor’s fiddle camp. “There were so many fiddle players that were so good, better than I was

“I didn’t pick the fiddle. It’s in m y blood.”

—fiddler Patrick Ross and younger,” Ross recalls, “that I almost gave up. But I said, ‘I can do this.’” Motivated by O ’Connor’s tutelage and the awareness of his father’s lost opportunities, the 12-year-old turned to music with a passion.

“Dad always wanted me to ‘read the notes,’ to study music theory,” says Ross. “I think one of his goals in life was to pass on that tradition. A lot of this is dedicated to his faith in me. I always have a feeling he’s watch­ ing over me; it’s really freaky sometimes.”

If that’s so, Ross’ dad is surely having, albeit vicariously, a good time in the afterlife. His son has been in some 60 competitions and taken home* 52 trophies — which he unceremoniously keeps in the attic. The few times he lost, it may have been because “I was influenced by many styles, and you can’t do that at first,” Ross explains. “For awhile, I was labeled as ‘too fancy.’ This year a senior on the fiddling circuit said, ‘You finally learned to play.’”

And now that he can play what he wants? “Whatever comes out through the instrument is a direct magnification of myself,” he responds. “Even a ‘mistake’ is who I am.

“I didn’t pick the fiddle,” Ross adds. “It’s in my blood.”

As for another year of tour­ ing, he thinks it’s a wise invest­ ment before school. “I know I still have a lot of learning to do — that’s why I’m taking a year off rather than paying 30 thou­ sand a year to practice,” Ross concludes. Besides, he’s having a smokin’ good time.

•'or serious music students, there’s no getting around repetition tice” since then.

Classical guitarist Sam Guarnaccia of Shelburne has a different view on the subject of daily sessions. A Spanish teacher at Middlebury College and father of three, he’s getting up early and going to bed late, elbowing per­ sonal and professional demands aside in order to spend two hours a day with his instrument. In demand for weddings, corporate events and an occasional recital, Guarnaccia says practice is a high priority. His daily sessions are “addictive,” he adds, offering the same physical high that incurable runners experience when those vaunted endorphins kick in. “I really enjoy the physical, sensual part of playing, moving my fin­ gers, feeling the physical contact with the instrument,” Guarnaccia says.

ig Joe Burrell is on tour in Russia with The Unknown Blues Band, sitting with his trusty saxophone backstage at the Yaroslavl Music Center, 200 miles northeast of Moscow.

Tonight this plain town hall is transformed into a jazz cabaret.

The show is an hour away, and the place is filling up with jazz and blues fans who’ve scraped up half a week’s pay for a ticket.

A circle of Burrell’s fans crowd near and beseech him, ‘Aren’t you going to rehearse? We would very much like to hear you play now, sir.”

Burrell smiles. “Listen, fellas, I’ve been playing saxophone for 52 years. I don’t need to rehearse anymore.” That was 1991, and Big Joe has had even more “prac­

musicians, and aspiring music students, may fall somewhere between Guarnaccia’s addiction and Burrell’s autopilot skills — there are no hard and fast rules about rehearsal. Musicians learn­ ing an instrument, trying to reach another level or staying sharp as professional performers have to find their own “laws” of practice and stick with them.

Joe Burrell grew up in Port Huron, Michigan, and discovered the alto sax at age 12. “Nobody had to tell me to practice when I was a kid because I was so inter­ ested in it,” he recalls. “My first horn cost $15, and that was a lot of money in the Depression. I loved to practice. Nash, the kid next door, was learning clarinet in high school, and we’d show each other things.”

The Russian anecdote notwithstanding, Burrell admits

GOOD C O N D U C T T ro y P e te rs r e h e a r s e s th e V e rm o n t Y outr O rc h e s tra .

that he does rehearse — a little bit — at his Cathedral Square apartment overlooking Pearl Street. “I take it out and blow every now and then,” he says.

“I’ll look at a book and go over some old song that we might do.”

His advice to players still under 75 is to keep their instru-

ments handy. “I kept my saxo­ phone right on the bed when I was a kid and played it 15 min­ utes here and 20 minutes there,” Burrell notes. “Its not how long you practice. A kid today can get pretty bored if he’s got to play for a whole hour sometimes. Just C o n tin u e d on p a g e 1 4 a

keep practicing every day, even in little bits.”

With his guitar students, Guarnaccia is not as insistent on regular practice times as he once was. “I used to feel that if you didn’t practice every day you’d get struck by lightning,” he quips. Now he recognizes that a student won’t experience much musical growth in a stressful atmosphere. “Tension is the big danger,” Guarnaccia says. “I real­ ly try to get people to set up a practice situation that is relaxing and stress-free, even if it’s not every day. Attitude is more important.”

Guitar and mandolin teacher Ralph Costanza of Colchester brings the rules of practice to an obvious, but sometimes underappreciated, point for people struggling with discipline or time: “It’s important to get start­ ed,” he says bluntly. “The first couple of minutes of a practice are important to get your momentum going.”

Costanza, who is a part-time

Hewitt finds the weekly class — like a performance — gives the musicians something to work for. “All of my students are in groups,” she explains. “The stu­ dents don’t really want to be embarrassed in front of the oth­ ers.”

Paul Asbell, guitarist with The Unknown Blues Band and a teacher for more than 30 years, backs up Hewitt’s view. “Only in the last 10 years has it become clear to me how so much of what an instructor does is to teach how to practice,” he says.

Nevertheless, everybody even­ tually hits a low point with their instrument. “We call them plateaus,” Hewitt explains. “It may seem like you’re going nowhere, but in reality you’re broadening your base, and a growth spurt often comes right after.” For students struggling on a plateau, Hewitt offers up “stu­ dent-savers” — music pieces that “are right for their level, fun and almost irresistible. It’s a piece that grabs their attention to get them through the low period.”

The challenge for Asbell is to help students develop great

general music teacher at Fletcher Elementary and Mater Christi schools, admits practice wasn’t always perfect for him. “I hated practicing when I started guitar; it was like calisthenics, boring stuff.” Finally, though, he began to like it. “I could see the bigger picture of why I was doing it,” he says.

Setting up a regular practice time every day is critical, says Costanza, especially for adults who tend to have major-league responsibilities. “They always say, ‘I’ll do it after I get this or that done,’ but they never get it done and, even if they do, they’re tired.” And playing daily is more important than the amount of time spent doing it, Costanza adds. “If your ambitions are modest, about a half-hour a day will keep you progressing.”

Burlington piano teacher Carol Hewitt says one of her key responsibilities is to teach stu­ dents how to practice. “We have them for only about 45 minutes or an hour a week,” she says.

“We’re here to teach them what to do at home for six or seven days.” Unlike Costanza, she favors a regularly scheduled time every day for practice — “just like a favorite TV show you would never miss.”

“muscle memory” through repe­ tition without turning them off.

“The mind can understand something quickly, but that’s not true for your fingers,” he says.

W ith good musical muscle mem­ ory, the mind is not slowed by thinking about fingering tech­ niques, but is free to create and express. Asbell offers the remark Charlie Parker once made, when he was asked how to play jazz: “First master your instrument, then forget all that shit and play.”

Holly Chase likes how music can help kids feel better about themselves. At Union Elementary School in Montpelier she teaches some 450 students a year,- as well as some private students on gui­ tar and piano. “When their heart is in it, it makes them feel so good to learn music,” Chase enthuses. “It’s the same feeling other kids get from swinging a bat or kicking a ball. It’s a great self-esteem builder.”

Motivation has to come from inside, she says. “If a child is tak­ ing lessons because the parents want them to, it lasts only so long,” she says. “When their heart is in it, and it’s coming from them, that’s when the magic happens.”

Finding time for practice can

be hard For kids today, Chase laments — some of her students squeeze in 15 minutes before the school bus comes in the morning. Parents usually let her know when kids are having trouble focusing, or when a piece seems too hard. That’s when Chase takes it apart to see where the problem is. If a prac­ tice isn’t working, she advises, “take a break, go for a walk, do something else and then come back. Maybe you need to work on songs you really like to play for a while, or go to the store and pick out a piece of music you might want to learn.”

When students hit a wall guitar teacher Nick Caiano of Burlington does the obvious.

“We back right up. I might take a piece from a year ago and have them practice it again, but very slowly, thinking about the fin­ gering, how you get from one place to another, about the rhythm, the tempo. I try to get them to appreciate the piece from different angles. Usually you get a new head of steam going after that.”

Caiano shares teaching space with veteran guitarist and teacher James O ’Halloran at Advance Music Centre in Burlington and sees about 25 students a week. He shatters the image of a strict, you-must-practice-or-else music dictator. “Kids don’t want to be shackled by a musical problem. They want to come in, feel good and have a good time,” Caiano notes. “I try to keep it as stress-free as possi­ ble. If a student says, ‘I can’t come in ’cause I haven’t prac­ ticed,’ I say, ‘Just come in and we’ll learn something else’.”

Caiano grew up in the Westchester area of New York and remembers being 13 and hearing Kiss for the first time.

“The next week I had a guitar and I was practicing until my fingers started to bleed,” he recalls.

Unlike their kid counter­ parts, adult music students tend to focus on particular goals, “whether it’s just to learn ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ or some strummy campfire songs or advanced blues techniques,” Caiano reports. “I have a stu­ dent in his fifties who’s doing Steely Dan solos, a very focused practice. And I’ve got a 9-yearold whose parents say he doesn’t practice that much, or at all, but the kid is unbelievable... He must be sneaking it in when they’re not around.” ® Looking for a music teacher — or a piano tuner or instrument repair shop?

issue

Ci U„&wich You can have it all — in Montrea B y C hris B arry ompared to other cities its size, Montreal has never really had much of a live music scene. Yeah, yeah, we do that stupid jazz festival every year and think were so cool because of it. But, truth be told, most Montrealers would rather be at a football game or shak­ ing their booties at a disco than listening to some guy blowing jazz licks in a parking lot. That whole Montreal urban-cool jazz thing is just a big pose put on by subur­ banites who think it looks hip and sophisticated to be seen jump-jiving to Brian Setzer on Ste-Catherine Street.

Nevertheless, there are still enough genuine music enthusiasts in these parts to justify at least a couple dozen live music rooms and several drinking holes where the music is as important as the booze. Here are a few you might want to know about.

C

Rock/Alternative Foufounes Electriques (87 Ste-Catherine E., 514-844-5539) This place has been around since the ’70s and has hosted everybody from Nirvana to The Dickies. It used to be that you knew what you were getting here on any given night, but these days the crowd and the music seem to change on a daily basis. Still, it’s a pretty good place to see a band and they still regularly book live acts. But come early if you plan to see a show here; they like to clear out all the rock ’n’ rollers by 11 p.m. so they can turn the space back in to a dance club, when they make their real money.

Jailhouse Rock Cafe (30 Mount Royal W, 514-844-9696) Books local and international rock/punk/alternative bands seven nights a week. A staple on the live music scene.

Club Zone (1186 Crescent, 514-398-9875) This tiniest of clubs exists in an arguably offensive part of town, but has local and imported bands on most nights of the week. A lot of the acts are just starting out in the world, but there are the occasional “live and inti­ mate-type” shows with people like Ron Sexsmith as well.

Cafe Chaos (1635 St-Denis, 514-844-1301) Cafe Chaos is so small it makes Club Zone1feel like the Molson Center — which is, of course, one of the rea­ sons it’s such a good place to see a band. They book mostly young punks.

111111

Cafe Campus (57 Prince Arthur E , 514-844-1010) Usually you’ll find a young French crowd here, swinging to the rockin’ sounds of Jean Leloup, or something along those lines, but they also do a lot of local and mid-level inter­ national shows as well. Good sound and sight lines.

Bourbon Street W. (1866 Sources Boulevard, Pointe Claire, 514-695-6545) A weird little spot out in the suburbs that books cover bands and over-.the-hill acts like Alannah “Black Velvet” Myles and Foghat. Their clien­ tele tends to be over-30, as well as suburban kids who don’t know any better.

CELTIC CELLAR One place to get your Eire up north

Le Swimming (3643 St-Laurent, 514-282-7665) Pool tables, expensive beer and a full house practically every weekend, when they hire the city’s brightest local bands to come in and r-o-c-k.

Bifteck (3702 St-Laurent, 514-844-6211) This surly little dive has been going strong for decades. It’s where all the local musicians hang out and bitch about one another, and is a good spot to find visit­ ing alterna-rock royalty. Probably the only bar in town • that regularly spins ’60s garage legends The Sonics.

Miami (3831 St-Laurent, 514-938-1112) I know they play music here, but by the time I arrive I’m usually too drunk to notice. Still, I can remember them playing The Gun Club’s Fire o f Love record in its entirety once, and that can’t be bad. A serious drinking crowd is found at Miami, and the booze is cheap.

Clientele consists of hobos, musicians, writers and the occasional dot-com millionaire wannabe.

Copacabana (3910 St-Laurent, 514-982-0880) This is Le Bifteck’s poor cousin up the road, playing a similar blend of rock music, with dirt-cheap alcohol and a few local musicians.

VALENCIA

Bar St-Laurent (3874 St-Laurent, 514-273-2359) This is probably the best drinking hole in town if it’s the music you’re after. Punk, rockabilly, swing, all the stuff that the kids go for nowadays. The young crowd always includes plenty of hot babes.

Blues/Jazz Bistro a JoJo (1627 St-Denis, 514-843-5015) Owned and operated by a Quebecois rock legend, the abysmal Marjo, Bistro a JoJo has local blues artists doing four 45-minute sets a night, seven days a week. Every once in awhile they hire some incredible local talent, but most of the time it’s just the same old uninspired “I’ve Got My Mojo Working” cover done for the millionth time by some poor schmuck who just wants to finish his set, get paid and go home. Beer ain’t cheap, either, but don’t let that discourage you — sometimes a night at the JoJo can actually be a lot o f fun. It all depends on the act and the night.

Biddles (2060 Aylmer, 514-842-8656) Local jazz hero Charlie Biddles runs this place for people like my parents, who want to hear some inoffen­ sive jazz while they chomp down on expensive pork ribs.

Charlie himself can play like a wild man, and he does

bring in some of the city’s best jazz talent. But the atmosphere here sure ain’t like Dizzy Gillespie blowing at Birdland in the 1940s.

Lair de Temps (191 St-Paul W., 514-842-2003) This place books a lot of the same talent as Biddles, but the atmosphere is a little smokier.

Lots of fortysomethings who want to appear sophisticated come here and nod knowingly when soloists start to do their thing. L’air de Temps is an insti­ tution in the city’s jazz scene.

Hurleys Irish Pub (1225 Crescent, 514-861-4111) It seems to me that if you’ve been to one Irish bar you’ve been to them all, but people seem to love Hurley’s. They have live Celtic music on the weekends, and the women here always seem to be tipsy. Which must mean they’re rich, because Hurley’s sure as hell isn’t giving away the Guinness.

The Cock and Bull Pub (1944 Ste-Catherine W, 514-933-4556) Same kind of deal as Hurley’s, but music plays a more impor­ tant role at the Cock and Bull.

It’s home to the great Liam Callaghan, one of the city’s more renowned Irish musicians. It’s also cheaper to drink.

im portant a s th e b o o z e ^ B McKibbons Pub (1426 Bishop, 514-288-1580) More Irish, but with lots of wasted Concordia University stu­ dents to really liven up the singa-longs.

Copacabana (1201 de Maisonneuve W., 514-282-7788) Yes, another Copacabana. The place to start for the uninitiated Latin dance enthusiast. They’ve got a gymnasium-sized dance floor, a damn fine-looking staff, the city’s top Latin deejays, and, if you get really excited, they’ll let you dance on the speakers. It’s a

big, happy room where every­ body is friendly and only a small minority are whacked on Ecstasy.

Kola Note (5240 Parc, 514-274-.

9339) Latin, soca and calypso stuff, with occasional live acts. There’s a nice big room for the serious dancing enthusiast.

Keur Samba (5408 Parc, 514278-5409) Same deal as Kola Note, but more dance-oriented and with a wider racial mix. Latin .grooves, people doing the macarena, and lots of chicks in thongs and Latin guys in muscle shirts. ®

When it comes to piano tuning, Oie Hansen is a man of ‘action’

By Kristin D’A gostino he phone rings, and Jonathan McGrath picks it up. A baby grand has been left on its side, stranded by mov­ ing men responsible for delivering it to the new owner. “They rolled it in,” he says, eyeballs rolling in disgust and disbelief. This is apparently not the way to move a 600-pound piano — without wheels — into a house. Ole Hansen, piano doctor, acts imme­ diately, sending McGrath, his right-hand man, to repair any damage.

A soft-spoken man with a thick Danish accent, Hansen is accustomed to mending mistreat­ ed pianos. “A lot of commercial movers are intimidated by pianos,” he notes. “They do a lot of damage because they don’t know how to hold them.” It’s not uncommon for Hansen to have to follow up a piano delivery with a touch-up repair job, smoothing

T

out whatever harm the movers have done. For this reason, he prefers to deliver his own pianos personally, escorting them from his shop in Shelburne to the har­ monious homes of his customers.

A grand piano can weigh up to 1400 pounds, a seemingly super­ human load for any man unable to leap buildings in a single bound. But Hansen and McGrath manage to run the piano shop alone, using all manner of tools to transport the instruments: chains, pulleys and, during the icy winter months, a toboggan, for sliding pianos over rough terrain.

Hansen, 51, is friendly and warm; the corners of his dark eyes are soft and crinkled from fre­ quent smiling. Hansen & Son was started in 0stykke, Denmark, by his late father, Jon Hansen, in the 1940s. The family moved to Burlington in 1968, settling the business into a converted barn on Main Street. Since the early ’80s, Ole Hansen has carried on his

father’s tradition in Shelburne, repairing and selling old and used pianos, rebuilding the instruments like an artist, work­ ing from the inside out.

“It’s like customizing a car, in a sense,” he muses. “You can take a nicely built American piano and start to put some German hammers in it, and all of a sud­ den you have something that’s a bit nicer.” Hansen recently built one such German-American mix for Phish keyboardist Page McConnell.

“He came in and happened to see a used Yamaha grand piano that he liked, but it wasn’t quite ready,” Hansen recalls. “I told him how much better it could be. I wanted to put a few things in it.” McConnell apparently saw the potential and agreed. “I really enjoyed working with him because he appreciated getting that piano, and how different it became after putting the new parts in, making sure everything worked properly.” Hansen adds with a chuckle, “I’m sure he knows more about the action parts of a piano since he came to see me.”

Being able to play a piano does not mean knowing how to tune it, Hansen maintains — few pianists understand the mechanics behind the music well enough to be hands-on. Tuning is an art in itself, requiring much patience and a keen eye for detail. The average 88-key piano contains more than 200 strings, each of which must be adjusted and tested during a tuning ses­ sion, to insure they’re achieving the proper pitch. This usually takes about two hours, though

Hansen insists a good tuner should be shooting for quality, not speed.

Christofori, an 18th-century Italian, is credited for coming up with the grand piano scheme. He invented many of the first harpsi­ chords and put out an early ver­ sion of the piano called the pianoforte. This crazy conglom­ eration of strings caught on and has been working on the same mechanical principles, without revision, for the past 100 years.

“Being such a complicated mechanism as it is, it’s absolutely astonishing that someone came

costs $85 and is recommended at least semi-annually.

This time of year is especially busy, because “the climate affects the workings; humidity makes the wood swell and stick,” Hansen explains. “We had a cool summer, so the pianos were a lit­ tle better this year. Things are getting dry now with winter coming. I’ve been getting a lot of calls for tuning.”

Asked if he’s met any famous musicians — other than McConnell — Hansen pauses, reluctant to drop names. “There aren’t too many really famous

Dane Victor Borge, a renowned pianist and comedian.

In recent years, Hansen has noticed, the piano is fading from the spotlight — at least for bands. “They bring around elec­ tronic pianos as a substitute,” he says. “I don’t know if it’s a cost consideration. It could be diffi­ cult to procure a piano or carry one with you from town to town.”

As far as he’s concerned, that’s too bad. “The last time Ray Charles was in Burlington, he was playing just a small electron­ ic keyboard,” Hansen laments.

“ I’m sure Page M cConnell knows more

abouUh^ctiorujart^J In i mu In 11 mi an up with it and it hasn’t been able to be improved upon,” marvels Hansen. “Pianos are one of the few instruments that owners know very little about,” he says.

Even concert pianists rely on pro­ fessional tuners as much as the least accomplished player.

This is where Hansen steps in. “I am one of the few doctors who still makes house calls,” he says, referring to the 20 to 30 small jobs he performs on-site each month. Common repairs include replacing ivory keys on old pianos or restoring the momentum in sticky keys so they bounce back quicker. Fine-tuning

pianists in Vermont,” he replies.

“O f course, when customers come in shopping for pianos, every third person had one in their family — it’s always, ‘Oh, my mother was a concert pianist.’”

But Hansen’s skills have been key to visiting performers, famous and otherwise, since the ’60s. “I used to rent and tune pianos to everyone that came through the Burlington concert circuit,” he reveals. “The Beach Boys toured with a big, white rented Steinway concert grand. I tuned it for them.’’ He also had occasion to fix a piano for fellow

“His stage presence lacked so much, because you’re used to see­ ing someone like that in front of a real piano. He doesn’t know how much of an effect that has.”

Some players, Hansen sug­ gests, would never tour without a real piano. “Can you imagine Billy Joel, the ‘Piano M an,’ in front of a little keyboard?” he asks incredulously.

Hansen’s prize piano sits among the 50 in his shop — a Czechoslovakian grand worth $50,000. The name Petrof is spelled out across its glossy breast. “The most famous are European — Bosendorfer,

Faziola.” The names slip like music from Hansen’s tongue.

“These are very small production companies, pretty much hand­ crafted instruments.” Hansen & Son sells an Italian brand called Schultze-Pollmann. “These guys moved into northern Italy, one of the regions where you can find the best spruce,” he says. “The wood in the Italian Alps, in the Val de Fiemme Forest, is absolutely spectacular. This is the same wood Stradivari picked up for his violins.”

As much as Hansen appreci­ ates the fine art of making pianos, he also approves of break­ ing them — the “junky” ones, anyway. “Sometimes pianos shouldn’t be passed down in fam­ ilies,” he insists. “Pianos don’t become nice antiques, they just become old pianos. There’s too much mechanical stuff that wears out and falls apart.”

Hansen & Son junks 20 dilapidated pianos each year, shipping them off to All Cycle’s recycling plant. There the instru­ ments enjoy one last musical fling: “You put a few grands on the floor and the bulldozer goes after them and that’s it!

Crushed!” exclaims Hansen, his eyes glowing like a kid’s watching fireworks. “They make wonderful noises! It’s an experience to see.”

Despite his pleasure witnessing this destruction, Hansen clearly prefers the role of piano doctor — over making music, too. Hansen quit classical piano lessons at 14, “when I got a teacher I didn’t like,” he explains. “Now that I tune pianos all day, I don’t actual­ ly feel the need to sit down and play. Maybe when I retire...” ®

ou’re going to have to trust me on this one: Go to the Montreal Railroad Modelers Association Open House the last weekend of October. W hy visit a bunch of guys in railroad hats tooting their whistles, you’re thinking?

I’ll admit that’s what I expected.

But my cynicism turned to curiosity when my call to the club was returned by the presi­ dent, who, in fluent English with a charming francophone lilt, told me his name was Robert O ’Shaughnessy.

Following his directions, I found myself one rainy weeknight under the tracks of the CN Railroad, site of the associa­ tion clubhouse since 1973. A red door in the wall of the

viaduct led to a dusty stairwell with bare light bulbs. Past empty cartons and broken chairs, I was suddenly in anoth­ er world. A Lilliputian landscape stretched before me the length of the great hall, brightly lit and humming with trains. Several men looked up from their work over the tracks, built on raised platforms. My host, who was standing waist-deep in a switch­ ing yard, greeted me warmly.

The club, called Canada Central after an early railway company, was founded in 1930.

At the site just south of down­ town Montreal, members are continuously designing, build­ ing and modifying a complex layout of tracks and landscape that has grown to cover nearly 5000 square feet. More than 4 kilometers of track have been

laid through the meticulously designed miniature settings.

At the one end you can watch the trains pass a tiny vil­ lage with a working replica of Quebec City’s funicular; then, after passing through some impressive switching yards, you can follow a train all the way to the Canadian Rockies. Tiny people walk along the village streets, dogs stop at fire hydrants; outside a factory, matchstick pallets are stacked on the loading dock. At the airport, a radar dish sweeps the passing train. There’s even a junked car lot and a nude beach. The inventive­ ness and detail are simply dazzling.

The model trains cross over 500 motorized switch­ es, activated by 15 auto­ matic control panels. Each participant carries a hand­ held controller, called a cab, that is plugged into jacks along the way. The cab directs the speed and direction of the train by signaling a computer chip in the train’s engine.

Switches allow the members’ trains to navigate the complex of tracks.

And, yes, with the cab they can blow the whistles and ring the bells. But that’s only half the story — maybe less than half.

The club members spend only one weekly meeting each month running their trains. Two or three meetings a month are ded­ icated to planning, according to the president. The secret life of a model train enthusiast, I learned, includes utilizing dozens of skills — electronics, art design, drafting, painting, carpentry, project planning, management, sculpting, history,

geography and geology.

As O ’Shaughnessy escorted me through the layout and introduced me to several of the members, I got a whole new view of this hobby from the

A new section, which includes a model of the Can­ adian Rockies, a hydro site and a coal mine, is scheduled to be completed in time for the open house this m onth. Tunnels, bridges, plaster mountain ranges and river gorges had to be built.

New control panels — electron­ ic marvels themselves — were needed. Mountains of plaster were painted to replicate the granite outcrops and sedimenta­ ry upthrusts of western Canada.

My guide told me he was trying to figure out how to add a fish ladder to the hydroelectric dam.

“We dip lichens in glycerin to keep them from crumbling,” one man told me as he ex­ plained how forests are replicated. “I’m not happy with the painting in that section,” said another. “There isn’t enough red. There’s a lot of red in the Rockies.”

Another explained how the computer is used to ensure the proper grade for the track.

The railroad hobbyists hold their open house once each year, the last weekend in October, and it’s the only time the clubhouse is open to the public. The nearly 2000 people who attend pro­ vide revenue which keeps the club chugging along.

“We could fill the place each weekend just with tourists from the hotels,” one fellow said, “but we want to keep this a hobby.”

At least for one day, it’s all aboard. ®

Burlington MR. DEAN’S FEAR FACTOR

There have been a lot of warn­ ings from Mr. Dean that voters should not vote out of anger and fear that he believes is the guiding force of Ruth Dwyer’s campaign. I call Dean’s warnings the fear/fear factor which is, of course, a double word title for a double standard.

Okay, here it is in a nutshell: Don’t vote for Ruth cause she angrily stirs fear about my policies, so vote for me out of fear for Ruth’s anger.

Yeah, okay, we are to believe we should not vote out of fear unless it’s the right, moral fear that will propel Mr. Dean back to office.

Yeah, okay, I get it. Okay, I’m shak­ ing now so get me to the voting booth. Look, you know that Mr. Dean and his highly paid campaign team have tried to demean Ruth Dwyers character by portraying her as angry and mean-spirited. From the first day of Mr. Dean’s cam­ paigning he warned Vermonters not to be swayed by the anger and fear stirred up by his opponent.

Actually, Mr. Dean showed more anger as he said this than Ruth has shown all this political season. This attempt at arousing fear in the other candidate is old and tired, and it has no bearing in this campaign. But Mr. Dean and his people invoke a double stan­ dard by getting people to vote for him out of fear of Ruth. But it is not working because Ruth has con­ ducted herself extremely positively and offered rational and assertive, not demeaning, criticism of Mr. Dean’s plans...

SPOILER SCENARIOS

Anthony Pollina is not spoiling this year’s political campaign.

Howard Dean is, by pandering to voter fear that Ruth Dwyer will become governor. Dean’s myth goes something like this: with Pollina in the race no candidate will receive a majority of the popu­ lar vote. That means the legislature will choose the next governor. And, without any rules to govern how they vote, it’s almost certain that a rogue band of legislators will select Dwyer.

The truth is that there is only one scenario that will allow Dwyer to win: if she receives more than 50 percent of the popular vote.

Every other scenario ends with either Pollina or Dean as governor.

Here’s why I believe this to be true.

Scenario 1: Dwyer wins more than 50 percent of the popular vote. Outcome: The only scenario in which Dwyer becomes governor.

Scenario 2: Either Pollina or Dean receives more than 50 per­ cent of the popular vote. Outcome: Dwyer does not become governor.

Scenario 3: No candidate receives more than 50 percent of the popular vote. Outcome: The legislature selects either Pollina or Dean — whomever has the greater number of votes to be governor.

Dwyer does not become governor.

While there are significant poli­ cy differences between Pollina and Dean, a vote for either of these candidates is clearly a vote against taking Vermont backwards. Given the current political climate it would be suicidal for the legislature to select a candidate that a majori­ ty of Vermonters had voted against...

Burlington CAN’T GET OPPOSITION

Can someone help me under* stand this? I don’t understand the uproar against civil unions, and I would like to. Here’s what I don’t understand. Three same-sex cou­ ples sued Vermont because they

ILLUSTRATION: HARRY BLISS

couldn’t get married. They lost; they appealed; they lost; they took it to the Vermont Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court looked at our common-benefits clause in our Vermont Constitution, which says that everyone in Vermont should be able to get the same benefits as everyone else. They said that these couples were being denied their constitutional rights...

So, because the Supreme Court said that it was unconstitutional to deny privileges to same-sex couples that heterosexual married couples have, it became a illegal to do so anymore. Instead of figuring out how to make this new law work, they told the Legislature to figure it out. It was a court order, just like child support or alimony or a relief from abuse; the Supreme Court told the Legislature that they had to do this. So our representatives and senators asked people what they thought, and most of the peo­ ple said — give them their rights, but don’t call it marriage. So they said, okay, then the way we will accommodate the new law is that same-sex couples can have the legal benefits from marriage, but it’s a

civil union, not marriage.

So, please, those of you readers out there who are so opposed to their reaction, help me understand — why are you angry at the gover­ nor, senators and legislators who were just obeying the Constitution and fulfilling a court order? It was already law; it’s not like the gover­ nor, senators and legislators made up a new law. They were just fol­ lowing the court’s orders...

— Carol Stone Springfield NADER VOTE NOT WASTED A vote for Gore is a wasted vote. So, for that matter, is a vote for Bush. Though the candidates are tied in national polls, polling in Vermbnt stands at Gore.46 per­ cent, Bush 35 percent. This is pre­ cisely how the ’96 and ’92 presi­ dential races turned out, Democrat to Republican, in Vermont, and thus the count is likely stable.

What this means is that Vermont’s three electoral votes are almost certainly already deter­ mined: They will go to Gore. Since

the president is elected through the electoral college, it doesn’t matter exactly how many popular votes a candidate gets: Vermont voters have, in fact, already spoken.

So for us in Vermont, the ques­ tion becomes not “Who do you want for President?” but rather, “Are you satisfied with either of the two candidates thrown up by the corporate-controlled, ‘two’-party system?” If not (and most people, of all political stripes, say they are not), then now is your chance to vote for not a lesser evil, but for a change in the system.

If Nader and his Green Party obtain more than 5 percent of the national vote, they will be eligible next time for major party public financing, and will then be able to play a significant role in setting a more progressive national agenda.

Many liberals have been warn­ ing that “a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush.” This is not the case in Vermont. Here, a vote for Nader is a risk-free vote for an alternative to our debased democracy.

/ RACINE FOR EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT

Lt. Governor Doug Racine has worked quietly but passionately during the past two years to improve education opportunities for Vermont children. In addition, he has a remarkable record in terms of balancing protection for our environment with creating a healthy climate for the business community.

Doug visited Vermont’s schools during the past two years, meeting with staff, children and parents.

His questions were informed and thoughtful. A year ago, he provid­ ed Vermonters with the opportuni­ ty to learn about the cutting-edge concept of schools as comprehen­ sive community centers.

We are fortunate to have an experienced Lt. Governor who is knowledgeable about the impor­ tant issues affecting our lives today and in the future, a Lt. Governor who will advocate for thoughtful change...

VALSANGLACOMO LIKE WALLACE? It was with dismay that I saw Rep. Oreste Valsangiacomo stand in support of Ruth Dwyer and against civil onions. I could not help but see a reincarnation of the infamous Southern governor George Wallace, who spent his early years as a populist but became a staunch supporter of seg­ regation.

In 1958 Wallace lost his guber­ natorial race to John Patterson, after Patterson took a hard line against integration and the NAACP. After his defeat, Wallace vowed that he was ‘ not goin’ to be out-nigguhed again.” Wallace went on to become a champion of segre­ gation, defying Supreme Court rulings and federal law while claiming that his white supremacist actions represented “America’s finest hour.”

George Wallace changed, but it took him 30 years. During those

three decades many people were unnecessarily hurt because of his behaviors and statements. I hope it doesn’t take Mr. Valsangiacomo as long to find redemption as it took Gov. Wallace.

Montpelier SHOCKING: LIVING TOGETHER IN DORMS & FRATS

I want to applaud Ruth Dwyer’s courageous efforts to expose the homosexual agenda of the NEA. Our schools (even preschools!) have too long tolerated and yes, even encouraged same-sex friend­ ships, and we all know where that can lead!

In fact, right here in our great city of Burlington, in our publicly funded University, we have official­ ly sanctioned groups of young men (and young women) openly living together!

Is this the kind of example we want to set for our children?

“Dorms” and “Fraternities” my foot! And if you think that throw­ ing a few parties and inviting members of the opposite sex proves anything, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you!

ments. That’s a very important “unless,” because the vast major­ ity of payments for the use of copyright-protected works — “royalties” — are made under a contract negotiated between the owner and the user. But so that people aren’t prevented from using important works just because an owner either refuses or overcharges, the law provides for the payment of mandatory royalties for the use of a pub­ lished work.

When you give permission to someone to make copies in exchange for a royalty, you are “licensing” them to do so. If you sell your copyright, either for a specific payment or for an ongo­ ing percentage of revenues, you have “transferred” or “assigned” the copyright. The reason record companies are suing Napster, instead of the musicians them­ selves, is that musicians don’t license; they transfer their copy­ rights in the recordings (but usually not the underlying com­ position) to the record compa­ nies, who then are the owners and have the right to protect their property.

Another issue to clarify is that if you own a copyright and

issue

Legaiease Copy cats? Tuning in to the Napster debate

By M arkus B rakhan he most important and compelling legal debate affecting musical artists these days is the one over Napster and the .risks that per­ son-to-person — or peer-topeer, known as “P2P” — filesharing presents to the owners of copyright-protected works. That debate is currently winding its way through the courts, and is worth summarizing for music fans who might care to know what they can and cannot legally do.

First, remember that copy­ right and patent law was envi­ sioned by our founding fathers, who declared in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution ' that Congress shall have the power “to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclu­ sive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” In other words, the Framers knew that the best way to foster tech­ nological and artistic develop­ ment is to create a legal profit incentive.

The practical truth is, if you don’t want your stuff copied, don’t put it on the Internet, because it will be. But it’s a dif­ ferent story if other people put your stuff oil the ’net, and that’s really what the Napster case is all about — who is responsible for what is put on, and copied

T

by means of, the Internet.

This case pits record compa­ nies against a provider of soft­ ware and a Web site that permits people to list their “sharable” collection of music as download­ able data. Napster was intended for music fans to index and pres­ ent their collections for sharing, but the issues presented could apply to any typetif electronic data that is a copyright-protect­ ed work, such as text or images.

One of the critical distinc­ tions to make — and one appar­ ently not well understood by the lower court in this case — is that Napster itself does not actu­ ally do any illegal copying.

Rather it facilitates file-sharing, which has included some illegal copying of copyright-protected material. Therefore, the record companies want to make Nap­ ster pay for what its users are doing: unauthorized copying.

Would such people make illegal copies even if there was no Napster? Probably, but the record companies don’t like Napster making it any easier.

To oversimplify the issues somewhat, the record companies argue that Napster is bad because it can, and is, being used to duplicate copyright-protected material. Napster counters that how people use its software is outside of their control or responsibility; and noncommer­ cial copying is OK under an exception to the law prohibiting copying called “fair use.” The

trial court agreed with the record companies and shut Napster down, but Napster appealed the enforcement of the order, and is still operating while the appeals court decides the issue.

Copyright protects pretty much any product of human activity that is capable of being copied. The obvious examples are music, writing and pictures, but the law also applies to art like sculpture, dance perform­ ances and fabric patterns, which can’t exactly be downloaded — yet. But for those media that can be digitized, the Napster case is very important to the future of

Presley’s, Bands like The Grate­ ful Dead and Phish waived their claim to noncommercial copying of their live performances, there­ by authorizing legal bootlegs.

Many more bands have done the same for studio recordings in order to generate interest in their music.

So, if everything that’s in the public domain is freely copyable, what about the stuff that isn’t? In the Napster case, the court found that because the software and system is used for illegal duplication, it should be closed down, and thereby not be used even for copying materials in the public domain.

This issue was probably wrongly decided, in my opinion.

Just as with photocopiers, cas­ sette and videotape recorders — and indeed computers them­ selves — the fact that a machine can be used for illegal purposes does not necessarily mean that it always and only will be used for illegal purposes. In this basic premise I believe that Napster is right: It’s not the system that makes illegal copies, it’s the peo­ ple who offer and copy protect­ ed materials against the wishes of their owner that “ruin it” for

That’s really what the Napster case is all about — who is responsible for what is put on, and copied by means of. the Internet. protecting one’s rights in such works.

The copyright law provides that the owner has the exclusive right to say who can copy or use an unpublished copyright-pro­ tected work. Once the work is published, anyone can use it, according to other provisions of the copyright law that say how much you have to pay to use it, unless you make other arrange­

don’t care that people copy, you have “waived” your claim to copyright and the work becomes part of the “public domain.”

Material for which the copyright has expired — 95 years from its first publication or 120 years from creation, whichever comes first — falls in this category.

This is why nobody has to pay royalties to Beethoven’s estate, but they still have to pay Elvis

the law-abiding citizens who only offer materials in the public domain.

The other major issue is whether Napster users are taking advantage of the system in such a way that falls within fair use — that is, the legally recognized exception of the prohibition on copying protected works. The test for whether a “use” is “fair” is subject to a challenging and

unclear test based on the bal­ ancing of four factors, accord­ ing to the statute: “(1) the pur­ pose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyright­ ed work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copy­ righted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.”

This exception permits one to quote copyrighted works in commentary and to make mixed “party tapes.” The Supreme Court has found, for instance, that “time shifting” — taping a TV program while you’re away so you can watch it later — is a fair use under the copyright law.

But the court found that the law which exempts home recording does not apply to Napster. The record companies claim that downloading a whole record is different than making mixed tapes. Napster counters that so-called “space shifting” —*storing ones data at a loca­ tion other than its original for access purposes — is similar to making tapes for, say, your car or your office, and therefore is excepted by reason of fair use.

Many believe that downloading — aka “ripping” — an MP3 of a disc you already have is a fair

use. I tend to agree with the record companies on this issue: Copying a whole record obvi­ ously violates fair-use test factor (3), and trading is qualitatively different than sharing.

Similarly, the court found that the law which exempts from prosecution online bul­ letin boards, Internet service providers and universities from illegal copying by users of which they have no knowledge does not apply to Napster. The record companies argue that because the law mandates poli­ cies saying that users of an on­ line system may not copy pro­ tected material, and must ter­ minate users whom the online service knows are copying ille­ gally, a system that fails to stop such uses is liable.

Napster acknowledged that when it was started by two 18year-olds, the system was not managed in compliance with the legal copying requirement, but now that it is professionally managed, such a policy is in place and being used effectively.

Therefore it is now both subject to, and in compliance with, the law shielding it from liability for its users’ illegal copying.

This suggests that Napster is probably liable for its earlier violations, but that if it is com­ pliant now, it should have the benefit of the law protecting compliant online services.

Once again, I agree with

-Napster: In general, it should not be responsible for the acts of others who use the system illegally, and thereby be prohib­ ited from offering its service to the vast majority of users who do so lawfully.

I hope Napster wins its appeal, but, unlike many extremist commentators, I do not believe that copyright is dead. There are certainly instances in which it is com­ mercially reasonable to waive one’s right to control copying; it has obviously helped sales of tickets and merchandise for bands like Phish. But for bands that don’t tour, or for writers — both of songs and text — in particular, I believe the basic presumption of “protectability” should remain intact and per­ mit creators to contract for spe­ cific royalty rates, as well as whether to require payment at all. But for both the artists who waive their rights and members of the public who copy protect­ ed material, the Napster case is like the gun-ownership argu­ ment: There might be some chaos, but freedom should be presumed so long as ultimately the user — and not the manu­ facturer — is responsible for his or her actions.

106.7 WIZN & MAGIC HAT WELCOME A HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION W/

has seen the demise o f many a club before, but 156 St. Paul Street is about to have yet another reincarna­ tion — this time as a teetotaler. Co-owners Kevin Ryan, Michael Smith and Bret Kernoff (the building owner who ousted Club 156 last month) are on the verge o f opening Fuel. And not only is the new club foregoing alcohol and cigarettes — “fueled” by Pepsi products instead — it will have a new approach to its hours and patrons, too.

Fuel will be all-ages, all the time, but because of some innovative scheduling the clientele is likely to self-select according to time o f day. That is, the place will be open to the after-school crowd from 3 to 7 p.m., with an array o f “top-of-the-line” arcade games, explains Ryan, as well as an Italian menu, featuring pizza from Juniors. Then the “bar” will close for an hour and reopen from 8 to midnight — with urban/hip-hop deejays on weekends as well as local and, eventually, national live acts. Finally, Ryan says Fuel will shut down again for an hour — ostensibly to encourage the under-agers to go home — and reopen from 1 ro 3 a.m. (5 a.m. after they get the license), providing a “wind-down period” for those who just aren’t ready to call it a night.

“We don’t want to encourage young kids to stay out all night,” says Ryan. “We want kids here to be safe and sober and protected” — and that goes for kids of all ages.

The trio brings significant experience to Fuel — even if an alcohol-free vennire is new. Ryan currently works in security at Higher Ground, is the former owner o f Electric Circus in Malletts Bay and has man­ aged, booked and promoted bands. Smith is a 12-year veteran of restaurant management, including food ser­ vice at a Vergennes school and, most recently, Gateway Cafe. He too has worked with bands — on concert +~ tours with stars such as Cyndi Lauper and Bon Jovi.

Kernoff also owns the North Hero marina and has long worked with a party/wedding deejay service.

It remains to be seen how successful a bar sans brew and butts can be, but the newly upgraded light­ ing and sound system should help — the owners’ background suggests the role music will play. “It’s going to look, feel and smell like a nightclub,” Ryan assures. (Without smoke and spilled beer? I don’t think so.) “It will be completely different from any­ thing that’s ever been in here.”

Fuel will host an open house this Thursday and be

have the honor o f being first on-stage at the brandnew Fuel (see above) Sunday — following the Ani DiFranco show at the Flynn. Guest Marshall Pierce will sit in on keyboards. Karson and krewe will also inaugurate^te new location o f Tonic hair salon on Main Street next week. Talk about a gig to dye for...

HORNING IN The Vermont Youth Orchestra is the envy o f every starving artist this week — it won a prestigious $100,000 challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation. Such an award is rare for a local or regional arts organization — but the string attached is that the VYO must meet its capital-campaign goal of $1.4 million by next June to receive the grant. Since they’re over 1 mill already, that sounds doable. The money being raised is for a new home in a rehabilitat­ ed building at Fort Ethan Allen, which will accommo­ date rehearsal rooms, classrooms, performance spaces, administrative offices, storage and a music library.

Way to fortify.

DO GOOD DEPT. Meanwhile, Burlington’s only teen center, 242 Main, scrapes by despite hosting more benefits than the United Way. That’s why you should bring a few bucks and your dancing shoes over to Club Metronome this Thursday, where Barbacoa, DysFunkShun and Exclamate! donate time and talent for a good deed and a good time.

New York Times to offset pokey summer sales. That’s what Fred Wilber found out following a September 22 article that pitched his Montpelier record store, Buch Spieler, as one of the little Davids against the corporate Goliaths o f Amazon.com, MP3.com and CDNow. In response to such Internet giants, what was a small businessman to do but start his own, albeit less glamorous, Web site (www.bsmusic.com)?

Lo and behold, his and countless other mom-and-pop sites have in fact helped stave off the physical as well as Web competition of big retailers, with their smallis-beautiful values and old-fashioned, personal cus­ tomer service — this according to a survey from the National Trust for Historic Preservation o f 1500 downtown businesses nationwide.

Quirky tastes help, too — Wilber just happens to offer a number o f obscure and out-of-print movie soundtracks, for one thing. And as proof positive that everyone still loves an underdog, Buch Spieler’s Web hits, which had raised sales a modest 10 percent before, spiked madly after the article appeared. “We went from an average of 40 a day to over 3000 the day the article came out,” Wilber reports, “then it started to drop down.” But other papers continued to pick up the article via the AP, so e-mails are still com­ ing from all over the country. “Most o f them are peo­ ple looking for out-of-print recordings,” says Wilber, “but we’ve also gotten about a dozen orders from peo­ ple who simply want to support another David in the battle against the Goliaths.” Some have ordered a handful o f CDs they could have gotten anywhere.

The article inspired a congratulatory letter from Sen. Patrick Leahy and has certainly helped the stores bottom line. “It’s not dramatic, but it’s helped us to renew our commitment and enthusiasm for retailing,” Wilber concludes, “which we often find to be a hellish experience.” After 27 years in small business, it’s a reward well deserved.

ATTENTION OPEN MIKERS! Hard to believe it’s been a year, but, yep, it’s time once again for the Advance Music Acoustic Guitar Search. And no, the store has­ n’t misplaced a guitar, so put down that flashlight.

This here’s a singer-songwriter contest, wherein the . entrants must show their stuff up there on that big scary stage all alone. It works like this: At each of the two semi-finals — this Wednesday at Ri Ra and next Tuesday at Ruben James — three contestants will be chosen (and will earn prizes from W IZN). These six will perform at the finals November 1 at Nectars, and the winner will take home a spiffy new acoustic guitar from Advance, 10 hours o f recording time from Last Exit Studios, and two hours o f Web design plus six months o f Web hosting from Homebrewed Concoctions. And everyone gets a T-shirt! All three nights are free, so bring your best tunes and most boisterous supporters. Preregister up until the last minute at Advance, or by calling 863-8652.

GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH? N ot even acute gaso­ line shortages stopped the Open Roads Festival in Glasgow, Scotland, this summer, reports Vermont’s traveling troubadour Rik Palieri. Representing the American “hobo” community with poetry, photos, tunes and some mean banjo picking, Palieri joined a caravan o f “wandering Gypsies and English travelers” all over the city, with concerts in every nook and cran­ ny. The Gypsies came from Europe, Russia and India, he says, and “took our breaths away with the exotic music and dance that have made Gypsies famous all over the world.” Not content to simply play music, one Indian ensemble also walked on nails and spit out fire. Must have made all those “Take Back Vermont” signs look like pretty tame stuff back home in Hinesburg.

IAN MOORE, AND ALL THE COLORS... (Koch Records, C D ) — Ian Moore’s most recent release, a n d a ll the colors... demonstrates a familiarity with a pretty broad musical spectrum — not just electric blues. Reluctantly cast in the m id-’90s as the latest Austin guitarist prodigy in the Stevie Ray Vaughan mold, Moore has cut his long hair, shed those majorlabel constrictions and opted for a more personal, textured song-oriented vision. The record has a lush, kudzu-covered, Southern-gothic feel to it, eclectic and complex with literate, impressionistic lyrics.

KEY NOTE SPEAKER

George Winston likes to call his solo

piano work “rural folk,” but that m asks the degree of sophistication behind this Grammy winner’s oeuvre. Early influences Fats W aller and Professor Longhair still show up in spirit, but his m usic now is just as inspired by nature — his latest CD,

Plains, takes on geography and has already gone gold. Despite the studio m agic, though, constant touring is what he likes best. Winston returns to Burlington, at the Flynn Center, this Monday.

rhYtHm & nEws Continued from page 30a cults started predicting the end o f the world. It obviously didn’t happen — at least for most o f us — but the doomsayers might just start up again this year, on the theory that mathematicians were right, after all, about when the millennium actu­

ally begins. All I can say is, I know one thing that will disappear come January 2001, and I don’t mean December 2000. It’s Tones Music and Art, Inc. — the little record store with the huge, and frequently arcane, selection — in Johnson. And owner Jeff Angione isn’t going out of business; between the physical and virtual stores, the merch is moving, he reports. “The phone rang off the hook this morning,” he says. “I mail out

Tones Music & Art

at least one package a day because of the Web — and that’s just vinyl.”

If it ain’t broke, why sell it? Because, for one thing, Angione’s wife is pregnant with their third child, and a responsible family man does not spend 12 hours a day at work if he can help it. A nine-to-fiver with a regular paycheck and benefits must be looking pretty good. Another reason, though, has nothing to do with obligations on the homefront: Angione is getting sick and tired of the music business. “I can’t buy $14 CDs any­ more and sell them for $18,” he says in disgust.

“I just can’t support the record industry anymore.

It’s all based on the dollar, not artistic talent.”

Fans o f the 9-year-old store know Angione has a great selection of vinyl and used everything — “It’s always been about the music,” Angione says. “If you’ve seen High Fidelity, that’s kind of what we’re about.” But going all second-hand is too narrow a niche in Johnson, Vermont, and he’s not interested in becoming “a Grateful Dead outlet or a glass shop.” As for his online business, he says his niche is defined by customer service.

“I ship for free, and I offer something else at a discount if I don’t have what you want.”

But the real issue is “supporting an industry that is clearly corrupt.” So Angione is hoping someone else will feel O K about supporting it and buy his shop. He says his inventory is worth twice what he’s asking — $65,000 ($185K for the whole building, which includes a rental apartment) — and “everything in the basement is gravy. Someone could liquidate the business, turn around and start another business with money in their pocket. I’m not hurtin’ and have to do this, it’s just a choice,” Angione says. “It’s the end of

an era, but somebody else will pick it up some­ where and run with it.”

GRANGE ROVERS Speaking o f small towns, Montpelier’s Ed DuFresne is out to make them a little livelier, if not exactly exotic, with a new “Town Hall and Grange Series” around Central Vermont. “What we’re doing is using Vermont’s underutilized town halls and granges to bring music to rural areas,” explains the proprietor of “Edified Presents.” DuFresne has done promo work and organized shows in the past, and now is “just taking it to the next level.” Last weekend heralded the first THAG event, called “The Funky Hoe-Down” and featuring the soul-groove o f Ekis and bluegrass from The Mad Mountain Scramblers. It brought out a respectable 125 folks in Greensboro. Each event — scheduled for once per month — will have an overall theme, DuFresne reports, with corresponding music from “the talent in our own backyards.” Right now he’s working on a Brazilian carnivale m otif and SambatUCada, for instance. For Vermonters who live just a bit too far from the bright night lights o f Burlington, the series offers faster relief than aspirin from cabin fever this winter — espe­ cially since the long-awaited opening of M ontpelier’s Pyralisk has been delayed again.

DuFresne aims to keep the costs low, around five bucks a show, and also hopes to attract some vol­ unteers to help out. If you’re interested, or want to recommend some music, call him at 2299942, or e-mail at edifiedl@ hotm ail.com .

BHW is helping with Hop 3 and Hop 4, the lat­ est installments in a series of regional hip-hop music produced by Kyle “Fattie B.” Thompson.

Lockridge is also producing a new benefit compi­ lation for 242 Main. Whew.

Superhuman? “Somebody’s gotta do it,” he says humbly. “Big Heavy’s job is to choke the shit out of technology on Burlington music’s behalf.”

As if all this weren’t enough, the Lockridge . world will soon get a little bigger: He and wife V icto ria St. John, operations manager at Vermont Public Radio, are expecting a baby. And that, I’m guessing, is one thing that won’t be broadcast live... but I could be wrong.

catching up to do — and if you’re a musician, you might want to add some thanks. That’s because proprietor Jim L o c k rid g e keeps the tech­ nology for his “urban scene” Web site on the cut­ ting-edge, and no one works more tirelessly and zealously to promote Burlington-area music.

Lockridge, who works without pay, is a whiz at getting local businesses to aid the cause. Thanks to a pile o f hard, soft and virtual donations from places like Small Dog Electronics, SoVerNet, Fidelity Media, Sorenson Media and Btownsound.com, BHW now hosts an online broadcasting network, featuring the “overwhelm­ ingly inclusive and eclectic” tunes from 300-andgrowing Vermont-made CDs (many of which can be purchased from BH W ’s vermontmusicshop.com.).

“We’ve been broadcasting Big Heavy label stuff for a long time now, through a third-party provider,” notes Lockridge, but we now have our own streaming network.” The all-Vermont-music 24-hour radio station will soon feature inter­ views, live deejays and even, by late November, acoustic shows broadcast live right from Big Heavy World headquarters. (Interested in airplay?

Call 865-1140.)

As the piles of equipment around his cramped College Street office attest, the Big Heavy activity doesn’t stop there. Real-time audio and video broadcasts of concerts from a variety of Burlington venues can be delivered right to your computer screen, Mac or PC. Recent concerts included STM P, P risoner 13 and C h ain saw s and Children. Up next: the Shad ow s Fall et al. show this Friday at 242. Bands can even check out the venues empty, with 360-degree photos

online.

Lockridge says he’s hoping to add the Burlington Coffeehouse, Folk Insurrection and Signal to Noise to the list. “There’s a wide open door to anyone who wants to get involved,” he adds.

In his spare time Lockridge promotes his

label’s bands Chainsaws and Children and Chin Ho!, and is working on a spring tour with them and Zola Turn. Big Heavy World is also a spon­ sor of the 10th Annual L.A. Music Awards next month, and as such is a co-producer of the atten­ dant compilation CD (including — guess who?

— Chainsaws and the Ho!). On home turf

SIN G LE T R A C K S As part o f their sponsorship deal, Burlington alt-rockers Chin Ho! appear on the Jagermeister compilation disc, Are You In? — and in my humble opinion their rousing “I Regret” is one of the few songs among the 18 worth listening to. But I might be a little biased. . . Th e Seth Y aco vo n e B lu e s B a n d ’s latest disc, Dannemora, will be played in its entirety next Wednesday, October 25, on WCLX-FM (102.5) at 8 p.m. . . . And speaking o f SYBB, an Italian fan with enthusiastic but fractured English recently dispatched a request for all three o f the band’s CDs and the charming wish, “Have a big fortune in your future” . . . Looks like Vermonters feel strongly about deadly explosions: The “Concert for a Landmine Free World” at the Flynn December 5 sold out in about an hour this Monday. O f course, the attraction might be the all-star lineup: Em m ylou H arris, Steve Earle, N an ci Griffith, B ru ce C o ckburn, M ary Chapin Carpenter and John P rine . . . ®

p r e v ie w s BEDAZZLED Harold Ramis brings us

this remake of a 1967 comedy in which Satan materializes in the form of a beautiful woman and offers to grant a loser seven wishes in exchange for his soul. Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley star. (PG-13) CECIL B. DEMENTED The latest from John Waters concerns a band of “cine­ ma terrorists” who kidnap a big-time starlet and force her to act in their underground film. With Melanie Griffith, Stephen Dorff and Patricia Hearst. (R) GROOVE Greg Harrison’s American Graffiti-inspired story depicts a single night in the lives of a group of San Francisco friends. Starring Lola Glaudini and Rachel True. (R)

*=REFUND, PLEASE **= COULD'VEBEEN WORSE, BUTNOTA LOT *** = HAS ITS MOMENTS; SO-SO **** = SMARTER THAN THEAVERAGEBEAR *****-AS GOODAS IT GETS MEET THE PARENTS*'72 In the latest from Jay ( Austin Powers) Roach Robert De Niro is an intimidating ex-CIA oper­ ative. Ben Stiller is the prospective son-in-law who accompanies his daughter home for a first visit and finds himself on the wrong end of a grueling interrogation. With Teri Polo and Blythe Danner. (PG-13) SUNSHINE**** From Hungarian direc­ tor Istvan Szabo comes the epic chron­ icle of one family's struggle to endure three generations of the AustroHungarian Empire's anti-Semitism, corruption and brutality. Ralph Fiennes and Jennifer Ehle star. (R) AUSTIN POWERS: THE S P Y WHO SHAGGED ME*** What could be groovi­

er? Mike Myers is back as everybody’s favorite man of mystery. Heather Graham, Rob Lowe and Robert Wagner join him for this second battle between the farces of good and evil.

(PG-13) PSYCHO**** Alfred Hitchcock’s most enduring exercise in all-out terror and suspense. Anthony Perkins stars as a disturbed motel-keeper with the moth­ er of all mother complexes. Janet Leigh and Martin Balsam costar. (R) LOST SO ULS**'72 It’s been a hell of a year for Satan at the movies. Film after film has offered apocalyptic visions of his return to and/or conquest of the Earth. He’s teamed with Winona Ryder and Ben Chaplin in this one, a thriller about a plot to help him take over the world by taking over the body of a human. Janusz Kaminski costars.

(R) THE LADIES MAN**'72 Director Reginald Hudlin helps Tim Meadows bring his popular SN L character to the big screen in this comedy about a politi­ cally incorrect talk-show host who’s fired because of his inappropriate behavior. With Shane Meadows and Will Ferrell. (R) DR. T. AND THE WOMEN*** The latest from legendary filmmaker Robert Altman chronicles the personal turmoil of a handsome gynecologist in the throes of a mid-life crisis. Richard Gere and Helen Hunt star. (R) REMEMBER THE TITANS**'72 Denzel Washington plays a tough-as-nails foot­ ball coach facing the task of forging one team out of two Alexandria, Virginia, high schools — one white and one black — brought together by forced integration in 1971. Will Patton costars. Boaz Yakin directs. (PG) DIGIMON: THE MOVIE** Oh, good: While we wait for the next big-screen Pokemon release, we can watch our kids get sucked into a whole new mar­ keting scheme — I mean movie fran­

chise. Jeff Nimoy directs this animat­ ed adventure in which eight kids help defend DigiWorld, and the digital mon­ sters who live there, from the usual forces of evil. (PG) ALMOST FAMOUS***'72 The latest from Jerry Maguire director Cameron Crowe is the semiautobiographical tale of a teenage boy who gains entry to the heady world of big-time rock journal­ ism. Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand star. (R) BRING IT ON*** Kirsten Dunst, Gabrielle Union and Jesse Bradford star in this saga about the rivalry between two top cheerleading squads.

Peyton Reed directs. (PG-13) SPACE COWBOYS***’72 Clint Eastwood directs and costars in this geriatric journey to the heavens in which four old-time Air Force vets are sent to defuse a deadly Cold War-era satellite.

Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner and Donald Sutherland come along for the ride. (PG-13) WHAT LIES BENEATH** Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer star in the latest from Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis. Shot partially in Vermont, the picture tells the spooky story of a wife who becomes convinced the ghost of a woman with whom her husband once had an affair is haunting their home and planning to do them harm.

Amber Valletta costars. (PG-13) DINOSAUR***'72 Between the budget for this prehistoric kid-flick and the cost to build the digitial studio needed to produce it, Disney has sunk an esti­ mated $350 million into this film. A pretty heavy bet for a coming-of-age cartoon about a cuddly reptile.

Featuring the vocal stylings of D.B. Sweeney, Della Reese and Joan Plowright. (PG) THE PATRIOT***'72 From the guys who gave us Independence Day comes this Revolutionary War-era saga about a retired war hero who dusts off the of

PACK BACK?

At first glance, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to restore ™ wolves to northern New England might sound like just another howlingly m w m lm nutty government idea. Hey, maybe they can stock Lake Champlain with live piranha while they're at it. As it turns out, though, the issue is a com‘ plex one with significant environmental ramifications. That’s why the group m \ Forest Watch is sponsoring a public forum that covers the ecological, policy J f e '*'-' ~ and legal issues associated with promoting the predator. The discussion is open to the public, so, if you have thoughts to share, don’t be sheepish. \ .* &

BROTHERS OF INVENTION When you think of Aristotle, Galileo and Newton, you hardly ever think of juggling. When you think of street theater and physical comedy, you hardly ever think of quantum m echanics. Well, think again: The 27year-old quartet known as the Flying Karamazov Brothers touches down with an all-new multi-media show combining all of the above, along with m agical effects, otherworldly music and a bag of high-tech tricks conjured by bona fide M.l.T. brainiacs just for the fun of it. Rumor has it that in the course of “ L’Universe” — pronounced “ Looney Verse” — the brothers from another planet put forth “a theory that explains every­ thing.”

DIFFERENT STROKES

f

Talk about channeling your anger. The protagonist in Tina Howe’s Pulitzer Prizenominated new play, Pride's Crossing, is an elderly New Englander who dropped out of Boston society life to swim the English Channel. Stage and screen vet Linda Cook stars as 90year-old Mabel Tidings Bigelow, who reflects on a life marked by adventure, adversity and an abusive relationship or two. Under the capable direction of founder Brooke Wetzel, 8-year-old Northern Stage runs little risk of getting in over its head.

Friday, October 2 0 through November 5. Briggs Opera House, White River Junction. See calendar for times. $15-26. Info, 296-7000.

DRUMMING UP SUPPORT There’s no substitute for hands-on experience. So Burlington Taiko is offering audiences an opportunity to “ Play With Thunder” in an effort to round up new recruits. Founded in 1987, the local group contin­ ues a tradition that originated in ancient India, where the mondo bongos were used in religious cer­ emonies to represent the voice of Buddha. The “big drum” tradition then moved on to Asia. After J Vermont’s beat poets have pounded out a few pieces, members of the audience will be invited on-stage to learn “ Matsuri Daiko,” an ancient rhythm performed for centuries at Japanese fM „ Festivals. This one promises to be anything but humdrum. \

Jv Saturday, October 21. Hauke Alumni Hall, Champlain College, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $6.

Info, 425-5520.

Call him the R icky Martin of choreographers: Vincente Nebrada is the Venezuelan-born dance man whose innovative influence turned the i fledgling Ballet Nacional de C aracas into a ■L moving force in the dance world. Perhaps the most prominent Latin-American choreographer on the scene today, Nebrada is equally at home with c la s s ic s and the "M B k avant-garde. In fact, he likes mixing the two. C ase in point: Igor Stravinsky’s 1910 “ Firebird.” His 45-m em ber troupe gives the fanciful yarn a sizzlin g, 21st-century _ spi n.

JAMAICA HELLO

-

Over its 25-year history, the Raphael Trio has earned kudos for its w orld-class chamber m usic, and for bringing to light lost and lesser-known works by great composers. On that note, the threesome will play a couple of seldomheard pieces by Beethoven in concert, including one he dashed off for jg § a 10-year old girl to encourage her interest in piano lessons. But the real show stopper is contemporary — hot off the music stand, in fact. “Jam aica’s Son gs” is an eight-song collaboration between award-winning author Jam aica Kincaid and Middlebury Associate Professor of Music Su Lian Tan. Mezzo-soprano Desiree Halac will j| | | have the last word.

EXPLORER OWNER MULLS SWITCH TO MORE STREETFRIENDLY TIRES Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 1999 Ford Explorer with P255/70R16 Wilderness A T tires. My partic­ ular tires have N O T been recalled, at least not yet. But I ’d feel safer replacing them. My owner’s guide recommends replacing them only with other all-terrain tires. Although I sometimes drive on streets that have not been plowed in the winter and on gravel roads for short distances, I don’t do any true off-road driving. So the tire dealer recommended I purchase all-season tires instead. What’s your opinion1 — Cheryl TOM: Well, first o f all, I don’t blame you for replacing your tires, even though your specif­ ic Firestones haven’t been recalled yet. Firestone has argued that it was the manu­ facturing process that caused the bad tires. But how do we know it wasn’t the design?

And even if it was the manu­ facturing, how do we know that the same manufacturing processes weren’t employed at

other Firestone facilities? We don’t know.

RAY: And in fact, if I were Ford, I’d voluntarily replace any Firestone tires that a cus­ tomer is scared to drive on.

Ford would probably make you a customer for life by showing that much concern for your safety, wouldn’t it, Cheryl?

TOM : In any case, I wouldn’t take the tire dealer’s word alone for which tires to use.

W hile there are certainly some well-informed and honest tire dealers, some o f them are more concerned with selling what they have in stock than getting the correct tires on your vehicle.

RAY: You can put some all-sea­ son radials on your Explorer, But you need to check with Ford first. If you go to www.ford.com, there’s a link that says “For official Ford News on the Firestone recall, click here.” That takes you to a page where you can click on “Recommended Replacement Tires.” Look up the year and configuration o f your Explorer and choose a tire from that list. You can call Ford at (800) 660-4719.

TOM : Remember, vehicle performance is tested and cali­

brated using certain types of tires. If you change to a differ­ ent type, rating or size o f tire, you take the chance that you’re going to change the handling characteristics o f the vehicle.

RAY: That might be desirable in some cases — for instance, an all-season tire (which is closer to a passenger-car tire) probably would give you a smoother ride in the Explorer.

But if it’s not a tire deemed acceptable by the manufactur­ er, there may be other han­ dling changes that you can’t predict.

TOM: And while that might be less dangerous on a sedan, it can make the difference between staying upright and rolling over on a vehicle with a high center o f gravity, like this one.

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a brand spankin’ new Nissan Maxima. About three days ago, it did the weirdest thing. It started right up, but immediately started making a weird noise. And at the same time, it blew thick plumes o f white smoke from the exhaust.

The smell o f the exhaust was heavy with gas. It lastedfor about a minute, then the sound went away, but the smoke con­ tinued for another few minutes.

It has not happened since. I ’m not sure whether to take the car to the dealership, since it hasn’t recurred. What happened? Did I buy a lemon? Is it a serious con­ cern?

— Cindy

Foulsham Farms Real Estate, 864-7537.

RAY: I think the nozzle on one o f your fuel injectors got stuck.

TOM: The way the injectors work is that they’re ordinarily closed. And when they get a “pulse” from the car’s comput­ er, they squirt gasoline under pressure into the cylinder.

RAY: But if something goes wrong, or if something gets stuck in the injector -— like a piece o f dirt or some guy’s wristwatch from the factory— the injector can get stuck in the open position and flood the cylinder with gasoline.

TOM: W hile the cylinder is flooded, the car would be run­ ning on only five cylinders.

Thar’s why it made a “weird” engine noise. Then, once the injector unclogged itself, it would still take the engine a few minutes to burn through all o f that excess gasoline. And that’s why the smoke contin­ ued even after the noise stopped.

RAY: It’s possible that the clog was just caused by some small piece o f dirt that was acciden­ tally left in the fuel system or gas tank at the factory. That shouldn’t have happened, but it might have. And if that’s the case, it might never happen again.

TOM: But if it does happen again, then one o f the injec­ tors is probably faulty. In that case, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask your dealer to replace the injectors. After all, this car is brand spankin’ new. And shouldn’t it run like it?

k M £ L ia ^ ^ L ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): For som e o f you Aries, this is a perfect m om ent to dive deeply into stories o f other peoples suffering. Stretching your capacity to feel em pathy and compassion will actually m ake you a sm arter person. A nd w hat about the rest o f you Rams? I suggest you actively fight against any perverse fas­ cination you m ay have for tales o f cheating spouses, child abuse, d runk­ en fugues, lost love and crazy violence.

For you, the tim e is right to cultivate an attraction to the them es o f redem ption, rebirth and renaissance.

T hey’re not so different, after all, and it may be a relatively easy conversion.

W hat makes success even m ore likely is that you’re now in a situation th at’ll serve perfectly as the laboratory. It has to do w ith the door on w hich you’ve been knocking and knocking and knocking. As your discouragem ent reaches a peak this week, you’ll be tem pted to give up and walk away.

A nd yet this is the exact m om ent when you’ll have the m ost power to perform amazing acts o f abracadabra, m utating your frustration into faith and the resistance o f those on the other side o f the door into receptivity.

GEMINI (M ay 21-June 20): Like a tiger ready to pounce, you may inspire in onlookers a tendency to be very polite and cooperative this week.

Like a drunken saint, you m ight spread an agitated form o f good cheer th a t’s both entertaining and unset­ tling. Like a visionary caffeine addict, you may dom inate discussions w ith fine ideas th a t’ll be difficult to actually carry out. Like a crazy-making bu t

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to biologist Francis Crick, our nightly dreams consist o f nothing m ore than hallucinations produced as the brain flushes out m etabolic wastes.

O f the m any argum ents that can be m ustered against this appalling igno­ rance, none is m ore forceful than the life o f H arriet T ubm an. After escaping from slavery in 1849, she helped orga­ nize the U nderground Railroad and personally led 300 slaves to freedom.

Few history books note that she relied on her dreams to provide specific inform ation about where to find safe houses, helpers and passages through dangerous territory. I bring this up, Cancerian, because your own dreams will be ripe w ith very practical guid­ ance in the com ing weeks. W atch them closely, and consider reading R obert Moss’ book, Dreaming True.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I foresee three sexy opportunities for you this week, Leo. 1. You can graduate from being merely sm art and become wiser in a way that will m ake life better for everyone close to you. 2. You can retire any tem ptations you have to act like a know-it-all so that you may slip luxuriously into the role o f a feel-itall. 3. By rousing your innocence, you can find a hard-to-spot yet obvious key that w ould ultim ately make you feel m ore at hom e in the world than ever before.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): T here’s no reason to be jealous o f those people whose careers resemble meteors, geysers, floods or volcanoes.

Today they may look down on your glacial tem po w ith scorn, but later, when they’re sm oldering embers or drenched piles o f rubble, your inex­ orable progress may strike them as a thoughtful work o f art. But I should be ashamed o f myself for trying to m otivate you w ith revenge, Virgo. You don’t need that base em otion to jiggle your pride. Besides, your meticulous pace will probably double in the com ­ ing m onths because o f natural causes that have nothing to do w ith your pride.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): Producers o f a movie often have it shown to test audiences before it’s released. Sometimes they’ll even change the ending or cut out scenes if a m ajority o f viewers hisses or yawns.

I suggest that you try som ething anal­ ogous this week. Seek out feedback about the budding idea or product you’re aching to unleash. A nd try to solicit the reactions o f at least a few people who aren’t predisposed to telling you everything you w ant to hear. O n the other hand, don’t assume that every single critic is a genius.

SCORPIO (O ct. 23-Nov. 21): Hallelujah and glory be to the Great M obius Strip in the Sky! You Scorpios have been chosen to receive a shock­ ing privilege: the chance to reincar­ nate w ithout even having to die! This week is the time. Your hom e is the place. T he w om b o f creation goes into labor and out pops a new and im proved version o f the jaded old you. D on’t be afraid. It’ll be m ore fun than any ordeal you’ve ever had. T he

pleasure will outstrip the pain, I guar­ antee it! (P.S. Please feel no sham e if you immediately have to seek out some metaphorical diapers.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): I sometimes feel like a Sagittarius-in-training. (Probably because m y rising sign is Sagittarius.)

Like you, for instance, I norm ally exude expansive joviality, but now and then fall into a m ood that causes m e . to downplay all that’s w onderful in my life and obsess on the one tiny thing th at’s wrong. T his happened recently when I lost sight o f m y new book’s generally good reviews and fretted over the lone slam it got. ( Village Voice critic Emily Jenkins w rote it off as “the ravings o f a m anic show-off.”) I bring this up, my dear, because I believe you should be extra vigilant in guarding against this ten­ dency in the com ing weeks. As a pre­ ventive measure, be a fanatical practi­ tioner o f gratitude.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): T he Hebrew word nabal refers to a person w ho’s so tenaciously focused on practical matters that he becomes impractical. I fear, m y dear Capricorn, that you’re veering danger­ ously close to this fate. For, the sake o f the bottom line, I beg you to forget about the bottom line for the next

From her booty she fashioned a beautiful gift for me: a primitive |jknife. As soon as I touched it, I knew it had m ajor mojo. T hat night, I dream t it helped me fight off a giant, tw o-headed scorpion.

Since then, I’ve dream t o f the magic dagger two m ore times. First I used it to slash through a thicket where a th ief had hidden m y wallet, and then to sever a leather cord that was keep­ ing m e tethered to a person who dis­ liked me. Now, in solidarity w ith your lust for liberation, Aquarius, I’ll em ploy m y benevolent w eapon in a ritual for you. As I raise it over my head, I offer its help in cutting away a part o f your life that is burdensom e or outw orn.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): G o t your bag o f tricks packed? H ow about your visa for the wild side? I hope you’re bringing lots o f gifts to dispense, in case you need to curry favor in the outlying areas where the rules are a little loose. It also w ouldn’t h u rt to take along stuff like a snake bite kit and extra shock absorbers.

N o t that you’ll have to use them nec­ essarily. It’s just that you’re going to be offered chances to score some magic cookies and secret shortcuts, and it would be a sham e to have to miss out on them just because you’re unpre­ pared for the unexpected.®

Dear Lola, I ’m frustrated! I ’m a S e e d - locking, 38-yearcld, closeted GWM trying to meet ether GWMs. Cvery weekend I drive tc Burlap, hang cut in cafjes and bookstores. I get loti c$ eye contact, but that’s it. What’6 sup­ posed to be the next step? I ’m completely new at this, and at my age, apparently can’t get it right. I have no prob­ lem socializing at work, where I ’m surrounded by straights. Where can I get info on "basic intro and meeting for GWM?” Are there special signs and gestures that little old ignorant me is unaware efi?

Under a Rock in Riptcn Dear Rock, GMs meet each other the same way anybody else does. Forget the spe­ cial gestures and start locking tor events likely tc be attended by other GMs. Watch the Seven Days calendar tor the next R.U.1.2? pctluck.

Volunteer at Vermont CAROS. Attend the VCLGR Town Meeting at the Vermont Technical College in Randolph Oct. 21, or the Queer Centra Dance at the King Street youth Center that evening. Or sign up tc do some last-minute work fjcr civil-union candi­ dates.
