23rd Annual Jazz in the Pines Festival
I
dyllwild Arts Foundation has announced plans for its celebrated 23rd Annual “Jazz in the Pines” Festival, which takes place amid the towering native pine forest on the Idyllwild Arts Campus. Offering something for every Jazz, Blues, and R & B lover, this year’s event will feature continuous music on three stages performed brilliantly by longtime favorites, as well as new faces. Marshall Hawkins, a legendary standup bass jazz musician, founded the Idyllwild Arts Academy Jazz Program and the nationally-acclaimed “Jazz in the Pines” annual festival 23 years ago, and it has grown exponentially ever since.
To kick off this special jazz weekend there will be a Patrons Dinner and Dance in the French Quarter themed “Magic in the Forest,” on Friday, August 19 at 6 p.m. Entering via a red carpet where the enchanted forest will await them, guests will listen and dance to the music of well-known jazz performer Deanna Bogart, enjoy a Bourbon Bar, taste an exquisite dinner presented by Idyllwild Arts Lead Chef, Chris Stroud, and take part in a silent auction. Entertainment will also include a “live” painting, a magician, and a photo booth. This year’s Festival expects to be a sell out once again, featuring over
two dozen bands. Guests will experience solo musicians, jazz ensembles, big bands, jazz orchestras, and brass bands performing in three different venues, with every single note performed brilliantly by longtime favorites, as well as new faces. One of the notable features of this jazz festival will be the appearance of several Idyllwild Arts alums who are prominent musicians in their own right, with some being former Hawkins students! “We are very excited about the performer line-up and talent we will be presenting at our 23rd Annual “Jazz in the Pines” Festival,” stated President of Idyllwild Arts Founda-
tion, Pamela Jordan. “As always, we are most appreciative of all the support and underwriting we have received thus far for this important Jazz weekend at Idyllwild,” Jordan continued. For more information on VIP or general admission tickets or to see the complete lineup at “Jazz in the Pines” Festival, please visit www. idyllwildjazz.com or call Idyllwild Arts at (951) 468-7210.

Ted M. has been working on the water cost for our park the last six years. He was able to get both water meters on the same bill, get the fines imposed negated and has been busy getting all the water leaks fixed. He announced at coffee time that the cost for water will be going up but it will not be a large amount per household. Coffee time was a collaborative effort between Marylyn D. and Wendyl. She made the coffee and he brought apple fritter donuts and cinnamon buns. Yum! Ladies Lunch Bunch went to Emperor Buffet in Rancho Mirage on the second of August.

Did You Know? One to three percent of the population are known as the sleepless elite. This group of people routinely gets six hours or less of sleep daily and remains totally functional. Currently there isn’t much data on these short sleepers, in part because they’re hard to find; they don’t typically seek treatment, since they don’t think of their sleep habits as unual or disordered. A few researchers that have studied the phenoomenon have figured out to date is that naturally short sleepers routinely get six hours or less a night and function well, without being tired. They tend to be upbeat, optimistic and outgoing. They are high-energy multitaskers. Sometimes short sleeping begins in childhood and runs in families

Slang Origins ‘Shake a Leg’ Meaning: Rouse yourself from sleep and get out of bed. Origin: The first use of shake a leg to mean hurry up is found in the New York Magazine in 1904. The origins of the phrase shake a leg are murky, though there are claims
8
that the term comes from the American Civil War, when after a battle, stretcher-bearers would violently jostle a leg or arm to see if they could elicit a response from a victim on the field and thereby ascertain if he were alive or dead.
