Lavoie lets the harmonica speak

ypically in an interview, the reporter asks a question and the subject answers (as best they can anyway). Well, that’s not how it happened last week when I interviewed Mark Lavoie on the phone. I (the reporter) asked the questions and Lavoie (the subject) answered through his harmonica. No joke, he played WIZIVEP HMǺIVIRX VMǺW ERH HMHHMIW MR TPEGI SJ WIRXIRGIW and explanations.

But after the physical labor that ceramics entails became too much for 60-somethingyear-old Rossheim, she was ready to retire from ceramics and indicated that she wanted to pass the business on to Marrinson. “I remember asking her one day, How would this work? At some point, would you name a price and I would buy the business from you? And she said ‘No, I don’t really see it that way. I think if you really wanted to take it over, I’ll just hand it over to you.’” “That was a really unusual thing,” Marrinson acknowledged, “She had had so many people along the way that helped her make a business, she said I just feel like I want to help somebody else and pass it on.” Before he partnered with Rossheim, Marrinson was doing “mainly sculptural work. A lot of wall pieces, which I’m now playing around with a little bit. Trying to come up with some new ideas that might relate to the bowls, but they were sort of these individual pods, these little forms that would hang in series on a wall.” Marrinson got his undergraduate and MFA at University of Tulsa, near where he grew up in Oklahoma. Originally, he’d wanted to be a painter, which was inspired by his high

school art teacher. “He was sort of this rogue teacher,” Marrinson began, “I’d always heard of as if he were kind of dangerous, like, ‘Are you XEOMRK E GPEWW [MXL 7YXPIHKI$ƶ . ǻREPP] ǻKYVIH out how to get out of this more traditional art class into this more ‘dangerous’ art class, and I credit him with continuing to do what I do now. He would really get us to do a lot of new things that we weren’t used to, and take his weekends to load up his truck with all of our work and we’d go with him to all of these shows he’d entered us in. He just created such an excitement around it that I ended up getting a partial scholarship to the University.” As part of his art degree requirements, Marrinson had to take Ceramics One and 8[S 8LI ǻVWX LI LEXIH FYX Ƹ(IVEQMGW 8[S was a throwing class, and it happened when I took that class the people that were in it were into clay. We had a lot of fun, so it was not just the material but it happened to be the people who I was in the class with that were really interesting to me. So I changed from a painting major to ceramics.” Marrinson’s story speaks to how artists are a part of a community, spurring each other — and often the next generation — on to learn technique and then expand. Marrinson says he is continuing Rosshiem’s work, “But I’ve been little by little playing around with adding some new things. Like the new white rimmed bowls, and some more individual sculptural pieces.” Edgewater Gallery on the Green is now displaying Marrinson’s new white rimmed bowls, a subtle design change, which coupled with bright new colors, transforms the age-old form yet again.

Before he got into lowoctave harmonicas, Lavoie developed a titanium body for harmonicas in ’97. Then, with the help of Mike Raineville of Maple Landmark in Middlebury, Lavoie developed a wood body. “I try to get the perfect chamber size, because that’s what creates the tone and the color,â€? Lavoie said, and FVSOI MRXS ERSXLIV VMÇş Ƹ;IĆśVI all looking for the Holy Grail, so to speak.â€? Behind all the music, Lavoie also had a business as a house painter. “Up until 2007, [LIR .

Lavoie’s concert this Saturday is meant to raise awareness about what he’s doing and inspire the audience (including Midd students) to sign up for his classes. But more than a sales-pitch, it’s going to be one heck of a toe-tappin’ show.
“I’ll be doing a lot of traditional blues and the way I play,� Lavoie explained. “My distinctive sound is improvisation. I do the same songs, but never do them the same way. It’s all in the moment.� Yes, you guessed it, another minute of tunes. “My body just leads me the way. As soon as I start one note, improvisation pulls me forward. It’s all about staying in the pocket.�

CHILLED ICE CIDER ZABAGLIONE WITH SOFTLY WHIPPED CREAM Submitted by Julia Clancy, a private chef who lives in Middlebury. Serves 6-8
VERMONT'S BEST FROM SKIN TO CORE
Though it's sad to say goodbye to summertime, apple-season sure makes it a little easier. Orchards all around the state are open for pick-your own, cider, donuts and lots of other fun fall festivities. Here in Addison County check out these local orchards: BOYER'S ORCHARD AND CIDER MILL
WHIPPED CREAM:
8 large egg yolks (an option for the saved whites is Lingue di Gatto cookies — see note*) 2/3 cup sugar ½ cup ice cider 2 cups heavy cream
2 cups heavy cream 2 tbsp ice cider 1 tbsp maple syrup pinch salt
PREPARATION:

Fill a high-sided sheet tray with a thin layer of very cold water (add a couple ice cubes for good measure).

Place the bowl on the saucepan of simmering water (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl), and continue whisking until the mixture is pale, creamy, and has tripled in volume. This could take 5-10 minutes, depending on your heat and your mixer. Whisk with an electric mixer on medium-high or manually by hand (warning on the hand-whisk: it’s a good arm workout).

Bridport, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics “We want to thank Dave and everyone at Bristol Electronics for our new solar installation. It looks great on the roof. We had talked to your installers at a job they were doing up the road from us. They were extremely friendly and very willing to answer our questions. We had been thinking of solar and our visit with them cinched it. Dave came out to see our house, collect the information he needed, and explain how everything would work. The installation was so fast. Just love watching the arrow on the meter go the other way! Thanks again, Leighton & Linda Riley – Bridport

“I DIDN’T DISCOVER ICE CIDER UNTIL MOVING TO VERMONT LAST SEPTEMBER. I’VE COME TO LOVE IT. ICE CIDER HAS A DEEPLY CONCENTRATED FLAVOR OF FRESH APPLES, BUT WITH A DRY FINISH THAT’S MORE MINERAL THAN SWEET. ALTHOUGH TRADITIONAL ZABAGLIONE IS MADE WITH MARSALA WINE, I PREFER THE SUBTLE SWEETNESS OF ICE CIDER IN THIS CHILLED CUSTARD. IT’S A LOVELY EARLY-FALL DESSERT.”

Gently fold the whipped cream into your cooled zabaglione, 1/3 at a time. (Note: A rubber spatula is best for this). Lightly cover your custard with plastic wrap or parchment paper, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Five minutes before you’re ready to serve, make the softly whipped cream. Combine heavy cream, salt, ice cider and maple syrup in a bowl and beat until the mixture holds soft peaks (when the whisk/beater is upturned, the cream holds a peak that droops gently to the side). Pile the whipped cream on top of your chilled zabaglione custard.

The forest has so much to teach us about plants that thrive in the shade of tall trees--when they bloom, how they grow and the soil that suits them best.

The shady space beneath a group of smaller garden trees such as crab apples or serviceberries would be ideal. The area under very large trees, such as mature maples or oaks, is less desirable because big trees tend to have a thick mass of thirsty surface roots that results in very dry soil. Also avoid the area beneath dense evergreens, which will likely be both too dark and too dry.
