The Straight CONTENTS Scoop Chow Mnnk and drivc hut 1 swear every o. * Nova (pre-1985) and Olds Omega (same j d|ffercnI label) I see is driving down the roads sideways. Well, not quite sideways but at an acute angle. Was this the pro uct of foresighted GM engineers trying provide a more panoramic view for nr,V5fS 3nd Passengers alike, or merely a CD back from my chemical abuse days?

I don’t know where young people learn to be so sarcastic—certainly not from me.

For your information, the peculiarities of the Nova have nothing to do with either your drug habit or GM’s desire to simplify angle parking. Older Novas and Omegas, as well as Pontiac Venturas and Buick Apollos, are vulnerable to an embarrassing defect that involves misalignment of the rear axle. The axle, see, is attached to the car by a couple of leaf springs, which look like horizontal parenthesis. (Cecil loves these homely metaphors.) In the center of each spring there’s a locator pin that’s supposed to fit into a hole in the axle assembly and keep it lined up properly.

Unfortunately, the pins have an annoying tendency to shear off, whereupon the axle slips out of parallel and the car heads around in a circle. To overcome this, the driver has to keep the front wheels turned in the opposite direction, with the result that he heads down the road side-saddle.

This problem was most common in Novas from the mid-70’s; supposedly some cars were already goofed up when they left the factory. GM, for its part, says, “Don’t consider this a manufacturing problem.”

In other words, suckers, it’s your problem.

Happy motoring.

Cecil! We’ve been having a ferocious argument for the last month and if you don’t come to our resuce, tragic violence will surely result. My cute but mentally retarded girlfriend insisits that if I want to make the six-pack of Budweiser that I just bought cool off faster, I should put it in the freezer rather than the regular part of the refrigerator. I calmly replied that this is bull, things cool off at the same rate whether you put them in he freezer or not (I’m sure I read this somewhere). But she doesn’t believe me! She thinks I’m nuts!

Cecil, I love this woman dearly, and I cannot bear to see her crushed by this burden of ignorance. Please explain to her that I am right and she is wrong (as usual), and restore peace in our once-happy household. J.A.

Sorry, chump, but your girlfriend’s opin­ ion of your sanity is depressingly accurate, as the following lesson in heavy-duty physics will make clear. The mechanics of heat transfer are a bit complicated, so to simplify things we’ll just concentrate on the heat that’s transfered throught aluminum sides of the beer cans (1 know you asked about the cold not the heat, but think about it like this: when heat is transferred out, cold is tranferred in). The process involved here is conductance, and it’s governed by

Q’ KAVTL To translate this into English, Q is the amount of heat tranferred per second; K is the conductivity of aluminum (heat travels through aluminum pretty fast, in case you’re interested); A is the surface area of the can; VT is the difference between the fridge temperature and the beer tempera-

ture; and L is the thickness of the sides of each beer can. No doubt you find this baffling, but I want you to concentrate your mental powers upon it until it becomes clear to you. Now, studying Fourier’s Law, we are led to one escapable conclusion—the bigger the difference between the beer temperatures and the fridge temperatures, the more heat is tranferred per second, the faster the beer gets cold. Therefore, it makes sense to put the beer in the coldest part of the fridge, namely the freezer. Hand the little lady a brew and apologize.

Why do worms crawl onto the sidewalk after it rains? M.A. Because otherwise they’d drown when their holes filled up with water. Who says there ain’t no simpie answers?

I have often seen percentages used to compare the effectiveness of various me­ thods of birthcontrol. The pill is 99% effective, diaphrams are 98% effective, and so on. But what to these numbers mean?

If the pill is 99% effective, does that mean it prevents pregnancy 99 times out of every 100 times a couple has intercourse, or does it mean that 99 out of 100 couples using the device will remain unexpectant over the course of a year? H.D. The effectivenss percentage refers to the number of pregnancies that occur per 100 women-years of contraceptive use. To put it another way, if 100 women use CocaCola as a contraceptive for a year and 20 become pregnant, the effectiveness of Coke is said to be 80< I’m skipping some statistical subtleties here, but you get the basic idea.

Where do we get the stock terms “bull” and “bear?”

“Bear”, is thought to have originated in a proverb that goes along the lines of, “Don’t sell the bearskin before you’ve caught the bear.” I suppose this is roughly equivalent to “Don’t count your chickens before they’ve hatched.” which is precisely what stock market bears do. Anticipating declining market prices, they sell stock they don’t even have yet, gambling that when they eventually buy the stock (in order to deliver it), they’ll pay less than what they’re selling it for—making big bucks. The term had become popular among London stock traders by the early 1700s, when the bearishly inclined were called “bearskin jobbers.”

The origin of “bull”—i.e., somebody who buys stock in the expectation that the price will rise—is not clear. The term appears to have arrived on the scene a bit later than bear, and some believe it was suggested by alterative analogy to the earlier expression. The usual explanation for the choice is that bulls habitually toss their heads upward, but you could just as easily make the case that bulls get their way by bulling their way ahead—they create a stampede of optimism that prices will rise, and the inevitable result, the laws of supply and demand being what they are, is that prices do rise. However, this theory could be a load of you know what.

Action off court at the famed TopSpin tent was also big during the Bausch & Lomb WITA Championships at Amelia Island.

The weather was great daily, except for morning rain on Wednesday, and Thursday after a warm morning session of tennis everyone was invited to wander over to the TopSpin for free rum and Coke or rum and OJ—which was, needless to say, Bacardi’s party. Everyone did, at least until game time again.

The Mayor’s Party that evening was the main event, socially, and the official guess was 500 attending. Among those spotted and photographed were Mayor Jake Godbold (right) and mayoral hopeful Tommy Hazouri (below).

THE JOY OF NOT

COOKING Gourmet take-out becoming a way of life.

By Anita McManes In 1931 Irma Rombauer published her classic culinary guide for the housewife, The Joy of Cooking. By 1960, Peg Bracken’s I Hate to Cook Book had become a best seller, dedicated to women who have learned that “some activities become no less painful through repetition: childbearing, paying taxes, cooking.”

Somewhere in the intervening years, women had removed their ,aprons, entered the job market and learned to leave the “joy” of cooking to someone else.

And the family unit changed. The combined forces ot working women, smaller families, more expendable income and a host of activities (see Folio calendar) have made the family that gathers nightly around the dinner table a vanishing species, further diminishing any remaining inclina­ tion the working mom may have had to regularly assemble a meal from scratch. ,j-',cse double-income families value convenience and high ess P.r'ce-sensitive and have created a steady coXntn?F a,v?rle‘y of Prepared foods that are fast and emwi™ ’ yV fresh and nu*ritious.

Folio Weekly/April 21, 1987

r

The merchants have heard us and they are responding.

Traditional take-outs of yesteryear—pizza, Chinese food, hamburgers, cold cuts and a few salads—are giving way to countless specialty items that reflect new lifestyles and appetites. People had traveled more, read more, tend to be more knowledgeable about fine dining and many are able to afford better things.

All of which brought us to gourmet take-out arriving now in its early stages in Jacksonville. It has become one of the fastest growing segments of the food business.

Caterers, restaurants and gourmet shops have begun offering their products in pre-packaged form, establishing a gourmet take-out trade. And it seems everyone is offering frozen, pre-prepared foods. Wolfgang Puck, chef and owner of Spagos in Hollywood and one of the new breed of celebrity chefs now sells his frozen desserts at Neiman Marcus. Benihana's of Tokyo currently finds it more profitable to sell frozen entrees in supermarkets than to operate a nationwide chain of Japanese steak houses.

Colorful, trendy merchandising of gourmet foods with international flair was spawned on the West Coast and the New York, and shops are in abundance that feature an impressive array of elegant world cuisines. In fact, before the move began to catch on locally, one area transplant said she was making regular expeditions to New York on People’s Express to stock up on delicacies at Zabar’s.

Although convenience is still the key word, it’s convenience with style that is providing the real excitement.

The industry has discovered that side dishes and desserts are an important part of the business and that entrees which require reheating or cooking at home must be easy to prepare. Good, functional packaging has been developed that lets customers cook right in the container, much of it in the microwave. Dressing up the package complements the food with an attractive, upscale presentation.

On the other side of the business, take-out shops are devoted to all those foods you wish your mother really had made—homemade breads and doughnuts, flaky biscuits, chicken pot pie and bread pudding.

Not to miss a good trend, major food manufacturers have entered the fray by introducing dozens of new frozen entrees, side dishes and other easily prepared packaged foods aimed at capturing more of the take-out, fast-food dollar.

Supermarket freezer cases are jammed with items such as new versions of Stouffer’s phenomenally successful “Lean Cuisine,” which have been augmented by their upscale, more substantial “Dinner Supreme” line. Campbell has brought out “L’Orient” oriental dinners. Pepperidgc Farm has new croissant pizzas, and the list goes on and on.

Numerous new pastas and rice or potato combinations that can be prepared in minutes are battling for space on grocery shelves. Sauces to dress up chicken, bags of ingredients to make pasta or potato salad.

In Jacksonville, the businesses are mostly new, but several are now offering a good variety of delectable new foods, as well as some serendipitous versions of our old favorites. A few were visited and are reported on in the detail in the accompanying “Guide to Gourmet Take-Out,” a number of others are here and more arriving, and the delis, supermarkets and even convenience stores aim for special taste treats of the take-out variety occasionally.

The local gourmet take-out shops typically divide time of their small staffs between the shop and catering division, which currently means no evening hours. But all will discuss special arrangements for after-hours pick-up or delivery.

In addition to these shops, a number of local restaurants provide home delivery of freshly cooked foods, though most require a minimum number of orders or dollar amount and add a delivery charge. Naturally, they are open at night.

But the take-out business is tough, the local market is demanding and many don’t make it. Not all local response has been positive. As one shop owner put it, “It’s very easy to get people in your shop once. The secret to a successful business is getting them to come back over and over again.”

Area supermarkets are responding by enlarging their delis and adding new items, both fresh and frozen, but “gourmet” is not always in their vocabulary and no trend setters are in evidence. To date, deli salad bars, which are amazingly popular in other cities, have not joined the local scene, for instance. The salad bars permit the customer to assemble a salad for one or more, from a wide selection of veggies, fruits, dressings and toppings, and pay by the pound.

Colin Slocum, market supervisor for Publix, has watched the deli business triple in his 15 years with the company, with a healthy 10 percent increase in sales last year. A new store, opening in Fernandina Beach in May, is to feature a variety of upscale, moderately priced, microwaveable din­ ners, which should make an appearance in Jacksonville stores in coming months. Publix anticipates that customers will be able to special-order the dinners.

Slocum also noted that the stores have been selling more cooked meats, such as whole eye-round roasts, smoked Cornish hens and Cajun chicken, and are featuring a line of fresh, portioned marinated meats and poultry for quick home preparation.

Even the convenience stores have delis now, perhaps lead locally by the Gate Oil units, and business is brisk but rarely approaches gourmet.

Will Jacksonville continue with the gourmet take-out growth or remain a “fried chicken kind of town” forever?

For dedicated food-lovers, such small advances as Winn-Dixie recently starting to carry a few flavors of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream arc significant.

THE TASTE TEST Our restaurant critic compares a few of the area’s favorites.

By Rob McKnight While visiting several of our local take-out establishments for the accompanying information, 1 was struck with a gluttonous desire.

Each of the shops visited offered numer­ ous spreads, entrees, breads and desserts which seemed to be beckoning me to try them. The plan was to assemble select delicacies from each shop, serve them at the same time and stage an informal taste test.

Three categories were established: spreads, entrees and breads. Selections were made based on the best available at the time of my visits.

Thus, following are winners in the “First Folio Weekly Gourmet Take-Out Taste Test.”

BEST GOURMET SPREAD Entries in the best gourmet spread cate­ gory were Margo’s, herb cheese spread; Datz Delicious, smoked salmon and dill spread; Taste Buds, hot crab dip; Mary Stewart’s, crab dip; and Foodworks, boursin.

The envelope please: The winner in the best gourmet spread category is...Taste Buds. Their hot crab dip made use of a real lump crab meat, artichokes and pimentos.

The combination was delicious and would highlight any cocktail party. Honorable mentions were the boursin from Food­ works and Margo’s herb cheese spread.

BEST ENTREE Entries were Datz Delicious with both Sardi’s chicken and veal scallops with mushroom and cream sauce; Taste Buds, shrimp Newburg with artichokes; Mary Stewart’s, turkey pot pie and shrimp creole; and Foodworks, turkey tettrazini.

The favorite in this category was again Taste Buds. Their shrimp Newburg was extraordinary. It included chunks of large shrimp, tasty pieces of artichokes and a smooth creamy Newburg sauce and was accompanied by saffron rice.

Other entrees worth mentioning were the Sardi’s chicken from Datz Delicious, and the turkey pot pie from Mary Stewart’s.

BEST BREADS In sampling breads, 1 intentionally stayed away the from sweet breads and muffins available. The choices were Mary Stewart’s baguette, Taste Buds, honeywheat breadFoodworks, croissant; and Datz Delicious’ baguette.

Best of the breads was the baguette from Mary Stewart’s. The crust of the French loaf was crisp and flaky, and the inside was so moist and flavorful that it seemed to melt in my mouth. The Foodworks croissant was a very close second. It was light and flaky and had a rich buttery flavor d The test was fun, albeit fattening, and the results mdteated that each of these establishments has products of which thev can be quite proud. Since this exercise was a comparison rather than a critical review we did not sample the full line of items m any business and are by no means conclud ing that all products are of the quality we ound in the somewhat randomly seated

COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL Jennings tops bill of 9-hour event.

By Tina Kicklighter Country music fans can look forward to an impressive spring line-up of shows, beginning with a full-day of free per­ formances this Saturday for the fourth annual Country Music Festival at Metro­ politan Park.

The following weekend, we’ll be seeing Kenny Rogers and Ronnie Milsap in a superstar double bill, May 2, and then comes Hank Williams Jr., May 10. (Sec calendar “Upcoming Highlights.”)

This Saturday look for headliner Wayion Jennings to bring us songs from his latest LP, Hangin’ Tough, and lots of his all-time hits such as “Amanda,” “Good Hearted Woman” and his brand, “Mamma’s, Don’t Let Your Baby’s Grow Up to Be Cowboys.” With a life of trouble to back him up, Jennings has reached millions with The Secret of My Success is a wickedly the hard life message in his songs and style. funny parody of corporate life in the During a 20-year career, he has become one modern world of Oz.

The shows will begin with the Boots­ cooters, local dancers, followed by 15-yearold singer Michelle Lynn, who has per­ formed with Lee Greenwood, Razzy Bailey and the Kendalls.

A local band, to be announced, will continue the entertainment at 12:30 p.m., followed by the Dylan Brown Band, another local favorite.

One of the country music industry’s rising duos, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, is scheduled to appear at 3:30 p.m. Sisters Janis Gill and Kristine Arnold, whose sound has been compared to the Judds and the Everly Brothers, have had several hit singles including “Since 1 Found You” and “Midnight Girl/Sunset Town.”

At 5 p.m., the Southern rock Marshall Tucker Band will take the stage with songs from some of their 14 albums and had a number of hits, including “Fire On the Mountain, “Heard It in a Love Song” and “Can’t You See.” The band will set the pace and mood for Wayion Jennings to come on at 6:45 p.m.

The festival is free, sponsored by the City of Jacksonville and WCRJ, and will be cooking at the park from 11a.m. til 8 that evening. If the weather holds, this year’s outdoor festival may be a record breaker,

L"ms. Coulon, who has a flair for putting art works into beautiful groupings, spilled handwoven scarves and belts from an unusual basket turned on its side. A raku pot with startling blue marking echos the blue from the weavings. Pastel porce­ lain pieces and a hanging silk kimono complete the attractive and sensitive window display.

At the back of the shop a mythical animal wall hanging beckons and guides you in.

Though small in area, the gallery is well arranged and intriguing to the eye. Two antique wooden cases hold precious objects such as earrings of porcelain, dyed silk and silver. Small boxes and wooden mirrors complete the treasure trove. Atop one case is a sign that tells the browser to please touch the objects displayed, certainly a switch from most galleries.

The combination of two dimensional and three dimensional works in the room is exciting. Two large clay torsos by Laura Wuori are arresting for their size, unusual color and stolid presence.

Hanging from the ceiling by transparent lines are art wearables by Kathryn Colvin.

Ms. Colvin describes her work as variations on kimono jackets. The garments are constructed in the machine piecework tech­ nique, using color harmonies of muted lavenders, and in one case, strong black, red and turquoise colors. One jacket also sports an obi.

On the far wall hang stunning female life drawings by Claudia Coberly. They are in several media, including pastel and tur­ pentine and graphic sticks. Ms. Coberly feels that a good model will convey a lot of energy which combines with what the artist is feeling at the time. “Emotion,” says Ms. Coberly, “is most important.”

Sue Cronn’s watercolors are outstanding tor their brilliance and vivacity. She invokes the imagination of her audience by using recognizable subjects in an abstract envi­ ronment. Acrylics and ink plus water color paints add much dimension to her paint­ ings. “The inks are vivid and they react to each other in water,” says Ms. Cronn They set up color vibrations.” fMs. Cronn also has miniature paintings ini the browse box at the gallery.

Craft artist Doris Walker has contributed several original objects to Illusions. Walker who lives in Ponte Vedra, started out as a painter, then took a basket weaving class four years ago. The result is a wealth of n Craftu,d’„ highly stylized P^e need°e baskets. Walker’s signature is evident in every basket because she is left handed she weaves from left to right.

Salt-fired stoneware mask sculpture by local artist Laura Lockwood Wuori

It is truly a unique space.

When Ms. Coulon decided to open her first gallery, she said it was because she wanted to “honor the urges within myself” that direct her to her love of art, and she also recognized a need for an outlet for area artists to show their work.

She started with the work of artists she knew, and soon other artists in Jacksonville began contacting her.

Without an extensive artistic background, Ms. Coulon has accomplished a lot in her gallery since its opening only five months ago. She has managed to create a warm and feminine atmosphere flavored with a gamut of local artist’s nontraditional contempo­ rary works. The array of paintings, draw­ ings, sculptures, baskets, jewelry, masks and clothing carries your eyes and mind a long way.

About 25 local artists are currently represented, and the owner would love to see new and upcoming student’s works included also. Obviously a reflection of the owner, the gathering of area artist’s works and thoughtful presentation has created a warm and intriguing place. , To take a look for yourself, join Illusion s next special event “Arts Nite Out” Friday, 7-9 p.m. Some of the artists will be there to discuss their work, and basket makers, button makers and T-shirt artists will be actually creating new works. .

^■2^X53^

*h,ey had s!lence- When’s the last time you heard absolute silence?

There s always the hum of a machine or a sound from the street. Seldom absolute silence. Maybe I hear it once in a while when I’m far away and there isn’t an airplane anywhere, and I can actually hear a bird or a leaf fall. But how rare is that?

Everything we do today is in relationship with this fact.

Nierenberg: But there is no way our society is going to go back. We can’t go back.

Considering what we’ve lost by not having that silence, for those of us who believe that’s important, where do we look now to make up that part of our lives?

Stern: I think first we have to feel, each of us, that we need this. Because if you don’t feel a need, you’re not going to search, for the answer.

Nierenberg: Obviously, we look to music.

Stern: Yes, but I think everybody has to find their own pocket of silence...or a pocket of peace, which they can use to gather their thoughts together. The question touches on the success of some things such as transcendental meditation.

Meditation simply means the ability to sit down and think and not let any noise or activity or other things get in the way. And the hardest part, I would think, is shutting off your own head.

Folio Weekly: Do either of you use tech-

niques of meditation.

Stern: There’s no comparison. Standards °^performance have gone up enormously.

1 he number of people playing and playing well has widened vastly. And because of radio and television and recordings, the knowledge of what the standard of per­ formance can and should be has also gone up considerably...................-........... .

All human accomplishments, at the high-

‘fe "SAC. or.!itera^re

paining or sculpture, were perceptions of those who loved the act of living and the art of living, and that group, too, widens year after year, decade after decade, cen­ tury after century.

Nierenberg: And the audiences? Do you think they have changed, too?

Stern: Again, there is no comparison. Tens of thousands more people are listening to music every week in this country than 25 years ago. And more and more are being added with the huge growth in the popula­ tion of the universities.

Think of how many people are being educated in universities today. They demand for themselves and their children a higher and higher awareness of what man’s cre­ ativity can bring.

Nierenberg: In Florida there is a particu­ larly weak emphasis on music in the schools.

Stern: There is a weak emphasis every­ where, I think. I see it in many, many places. Once in a while in major cities there are isolated pockets of excellence. It very much depends, I think, on the way the entire body politic looks at the arts.

I find it particularly dreadful and in a sense a terribly dangerous thing for the future that any time there is any kind of economic crunch and they have to cut down to what they call the “basics in educa­ tion,” the first thing that gets cut is arts instruction.

One of the problems, of course, is that people being trained as teachers in the arts are not very good, generally speaking. Our level of training is not what it should be.

Folio Weekly: How do you view the role of music in society?

Stern: Music, of course, is the highest of the art forms because it doesn’t have to be filtered through words. It is not something that you can see and forget such as a sculpture, which may also leave an enduring impression on many people.

But there is something in music that is so much connected with the inside of a human being and the natural form of life.

The rhythm of music, the pulse of music is the same as the pulse of the heart. You have a wrong pulse and the body doesn t continue. It is the same thing in music.

The cry of the child when it is first born.

The first sound. And essentially the sound of music is a way of transmitting commu­ nication through the arts. It is, in a sense, an all-embracing art form.

I don’t think that we have begun to appreciate not the importance but the absolute necessity of art instruction from the grade school on. And it s not the kids fault The little children come to the arts quite naturally given the opportunity. Like

S|decide ’?,TibnX".

Pnd on curricula that are the problem, and 1 should also think the political power of parents. What do they want? How do thev want their children to learn.

The arts really should not be considered an acqu ed function of fancy living, It’s basic ?n the way we live, and unfortunately

because of constitutional provisions in setting up state’s rights, there’s no central thread of educational format throughout the country. It becomes very much up to the communities.

Nierenberg: What is your view of the evolution of the composer, visa ve society, visa ve the performers and so forth, compared to when you were starting your career?

Stern: That’s a difficult question. There are a hundred times more, and I think modern composers and modern efforts and modern experimentation composing has them given more opportunity and in some senses they are more cognitive than ever before in history.

If we talk about contemporary music and we define it as that which was written in the 20th century, I would say the first 40 years of the 20th century are four of the most prolific decades in the whole 400 year history of music.

However, some people would say con­ temporary is that which was written the day before yesterday. Nobody thinks today that Strauss, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, Stra­ vinsky, Ravel and Debussy are 20th century composers. They think in terms of Glass, Elliott Carter. Those, too, are people who have been writing for the past 20 or 30 years.

1 feel that contemporary music finds its own level after a period of time. It has to find the compensating niche in the psyche of another person to succeed. That’s what it’s all about.

Folio Weekly: Let me ask you both to comment on each other’s job. How are they different, how are they similar?

Nierenberg: Many things are similar be­ cause you are playing the same kind of music, but the instrumentalist has direct control over the sound, direct control over the music, whereas the conductor has only remote control over it. His control is filtered through his communication with his musicians.

And in that way it is not so much a direct connection between emotion and the sound as there is with the instrument. Both require the same kind of thinking ahead. The same kind of imagining the sound and then producing it.

Stern: In the main, the two roles are much closer than most people think. Certainly, for the conductor the music is filtered through the playing abilities of the orches­ tra. However, that is one of the responsibil­ ities of the conductor; to get them to listen to themselves to get them to have an idea of what sound is all about.

A really great conductor has a hand that sculpts the music in the air the way the music was written, and the orchestra will understand it and they will play accord­ ingly.

On his palette, the conductor has 20 times as much as any instrument or variety of instruments. There is a huge, incredible repertoire that is endless. No conductor can encompass all the repertoire that is avail­ able to him.

Folio Weekly: Do 1 sense an envy for the conductor? Do you wish you had been...?

Stern: (Laugh) No, no. I’m having a T-shirt made for me that says, “I’m the only one who doesn’t want to be a conductor.”

Nierenberg: From my point of view, the reverse is true, however. There is a tremen­ dous envy and admiration for the violinist.

Folio Weekly: How do you maintain the concentration and energy level required of

Stern

your performances? Are there special tech­ niques?

Stem: It doesn’t matter how you feel, and it doesn’t matter where you’ve been, and it doesn’t matter what you’ve done. What you’re doing the moment you’re on stage, is a total concentration—like a laser beam on what you’re playing and what you’re trying to say.

You have to have a technical discipline.

You don’t worry too much about what the problems are that are coming up; you know what they are, but you’ve worked long enough so that you can do them freely and do them perhaps differently each time.

Folio Weekly: And that is very difficult to achieve, of course.

Stern: Yes, that’s why there are so few solo performers. Your thought processes and actions are all simultaneous. 1 am speaking now in terms of great music making, and it is never an automatic process.

There are any number of excellent per­ formances that one can hear that are nearly perfect but which don’t mean very much.

They are either not thought through very much or not felt through each time.

The real responsibility and the most terrifying one is that every time you play a composition, whether you play it for the first time or you have played it a thousand times, you must make it feel as though it was the first performance. As if you were inventing it, writing it, creating the work at that moment.

At the same time the actual performance is a complicated series of circumstances that defy analysis because there are no extraneous notes or boring notes or boring music. There are only boring musicians.

Every note has a reason for being there.

You have to know why and you have to have a sense of where it is placed in the musical landscape of the composer in that work at that moment.

Folio Weekly: Are you ever distracted?

Say, you had a bad day. Got stuck in the airport and so forth. Is it more difficult to achieve the needed level of concentration on such days?

Stern: Everything distracts me. Either some­ thing very wrong or a beautiful woman.

There are all kinds of things that can distract in one form or another.

When your luggage gets lost and you’re at the airport, the first thing you do is cuss like hell. Then you go and repair some­ where.

I do have one little trick 1 can pass on to your readers for the airport. One of the great things you can do is go into the barber shop and ask them for a shampoo and a shave and tell them you want it slow I v You lie down in the chair and close'yom eyes and fall asleep for about 20 or 30 minutes, and and you get scalp rub md , fresh shave justthat relaTand ^re wonderful. ? u re

★ Absolutely awful. Avoid at all costs. ★ ★ Pretty bad, though not truly horrible. ★ ★ ★ Average. Not too bad, not too good. ★ ★ ★ ★ Above average. Highly recommended. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Excellent. Not to be missed.

Films without stars have not yet been reviewed.

NOW SHOWING THE ARISTOCATS. The voices of Maurice Chevalier, Eva Gabor and Phil Harris are featured in Disney’s re-released animated tale from 1970 about some upper-crust felines who are kidnapped and abandoned by a ne­ farious butler bent on cheating them of their inheritance. A G-rated must for toddlers and their parents.

BLACK WIDOW ★ ★. In this murky, unexciting thriller directed by Bob Rafelson (Five Easy Pieces, The Postman Always Rings Twice), a cool husband killer (Theresa Russell) is first stalked and then befriended by a sexually depressed Justice Department official (Debra Winger), who falls in love with the next potential victim (Sami Frey). Despite amusing, too-brief appearances by Dennis Hopper, Mary Wornov, and Janies Hong (a marvelously seedy Hawaiian detective), the action is snail-paced, the psy­ chology of heroine and yillainess inadequately developed, and the jet-set characters straight out of a Sidney Sheldon potboiler. Even the reliable Nicol Williamson is given short shrift and the “surprise” wrap-up is a bit of a cheat. Rated R. BLIND DATE. ★ ★★1/2 Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is set up with a sexy blind date named Nadia (Kim Basinger) in hopes of impressing a new business client at an important formal supper. Nadia shouldn’t drink but does, and the series of disasters that befall poor Walter as a result shouldn’t happen to anyone. Director Blake Edwards is in better form than in “That’s Life” and “A Fine Mess,” but this screwball comedy sputters in places due to poor pacing and a faulty script. Bruce Willis is very likable in his first big-screen role. Kim Basinger doesn’t look bad either, but she’s not a good drunk. Rated PG-13.

BURGLAR. In her third screen appearance, Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple, Jumpin , Jack Flash) is casl as a cal burglar who becomes '• ,...y the prime suspect in a murder case. Based on the light-hearted crime series by Lawrence Block (with a sex change for its hero, Bernie Rho denbarr), this action-comedy was written by the team who penned Teen Wolf and Commando and is directed by Hugh Wilson (Police Academy, lustle^ Rhapsody)® With Lesley Ann.

THE HIP- BraIPacker Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire) stars as an ambitious, unconventional young lawyer in a courtroom comedy directed and co-written by Bob Clark (Porky’s, A Christmas Story). Eli­ zabeth Perkins (About Last Night.,.), John Hurt (The Elephant Man), Darren McGavin, and Ray Waltson are also in the cast. Rated PG THE GOLDEN CHILD A * *. Abrasive Eddie Murphy (Beverly Hills Cop) shows an ingratiating side to his character in an actionfantasy-comedy that could earn him new fans without losing old ones. Murphy plays an L.A. detective specializing in missing children, "a man from the City of Angels who is no Angel,” chosen to rescue a Tibetan holy child from the sinister minions of the devil himself. The plot is pure hokum, but Murphy’s performance is fresh and Micheal Ritchie’s direction a knockout.

Charlotte Lewis (Pirates) and Charles Dance (Plenty) are respectively inscrutable and hissable as the heroine and the villain. Laughs, thrills, and special effects: what more could you want from a Yuletide crowd-pleaser? Rated PG-13.

HEAT. In the first of a trio of new films (Malone and Rent-A-Cop will follow soon), Burt Reynolds plays a Vegas bodyguard who goes up against the Mob. Written by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Marathon Man) and directed by Dick Richards (Farewell My Lovely), this actioner co-stars Howard Hcsseman (“Head of lhe Class”), Diana Scarwid (Inside Moves, Psycho Ill), Peter MacNichol (Sophie’s Choice), and Karen Young (Birdy). Rated R. HOOSIERS ★ ★. Inspirational but unin­ spired, this underdog sports movie (basketball circa 1951) basks too easily in its own cliches, but Gene Hackman and Oscar-nominated Dennis Hopper are pleasant to watch despite their unoriginal roles as, respectively, a coach and a local rumpot on the rebound. The lengthy basketball sequences, dominated by slow motion, fast cuts, and a poundingly anachronistic synthe­ sized score, have more io do with audience manipulation than with the sport that the filmmakers have set out to extol. Rated PG. LETHAL WEAPON * * * 1/2. Mel Gibson is madder than Mad Max as a homicide detective whose unconcealed death wish gets him and his easy-going new partner (Danny Glover) in plenty of hot water. The first half of the film, nlaved mostly for laughs, reveals Gibsons

boss (Richard Jordan).

audience sympathy, and director Richard Donner (Superman) keeps both the humor and the homicide humming. With Gary Busey (The Buddy Holly Story) as a vicious mercenary and airstream girl-group singer Darlene Love as Glover’s wife. Rated R. MANNEQUIN. Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo’s Fire, Pretty in Pink) and Kim Cattrail (Porky’s, Turk 182) are the stars of this remake of the tepid 1948 fantasy-comedy One Touch of Venus, in which a department store mannequin mysteriously comes to life. Don’t expect to hear the Kurt Weill-Ogden Nash score from the Broadway version, which was also dropped from the original movie. Estelle Getty (“Golden Girls’’) is featured. Rated PG-13.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 3: DREAM WARRIORS. Freddie Kruger, the boogy man incarnate, refuses to die as long •as there’s box-office potential in his bloody rampages. Rated R. OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE ★ * * 1/2.

Shelley Long (“Cheers,” The Money Pit) and Bette Midler (Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People) learn the power of sisterhood the hard way in a madcap spy comedy that manages to lampoon the CIA, the KGB and the acting profession. The heroines’ search for the shadowy lover (Peter Coyote) who has deserted them both moves jauntily from Manhattan to the deserts of New Mexico; along the way they outwit the bad guys and discover that their class differences and petty jealousies need not prevent them from becoming friends. Directed by Arthur Hiller (Silver Streak, The In-Laws), Fortune never strays too far from formula, but Long and Midler (aided by George Carlin as an inebriated desert rat) arc a continual joy to watch. Rated R. PLATOON ★ * ★ ★ 1/2. If further proof is needed that war is hell, here is the most realistic and anguished depiction of the Vietnam conflict yet produced, an unrclievedly grim but author­ itative movie from Oliver Stone, who also wrote and directed‘the recent political thriller Salvador.

Charlie Sheen (Lucas, The Boys Next Door) stars as a 1967 enlistee who must not only Tight the enemy but also take part in an ongoing psy­ chological battle represented by two antagonistic sergeants: the ruthless Barnes (Tom Berenger from The Big Chill) and the enlightened Elias (Willem Dafoe from To Live and Die in L.A.).

Platoon’s other characters, well played by at least two dozen actors, collectively incorporate the ambivalent attitudes that epitomize the tragedy of Vietnam, and writer-director Stone (himself a veteran) has managed to capture the madness and despair of the infantrymen who had to wage this horrific, debilitating war. Rated R.

POLICE ACADEMY IV. The fourth installment of the popular Police Academy movies. Starring Steve Guttenburg (The Bed­ room Window) and Bobcat Goldthwait. Rated PG. RADIO DAYS ★ ★★. Woody Allen’s diehard fans won’t mind the fact that his evocative paean to the era of old-time radio frequently flirts with incoherence. It’s a mixed bag of bits and pieces, but some of the morsels are tasty indeed. More like a run-through for The Purple Rose of Cairo (similar reality-versusillusion theme, but without the narrative cohe­ sion) than a follow up to his assured Hannah and Her Sisters, Radio Days features many (perhaps too many) appearances by the Allen stock company, including Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, Tony Roberts, Jeff Daniels, and a radiant Diane Keaton delivering a sultry version of “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To.” Rated PG. ROOM WITH A VIEW. ★ ★ ★ ★. The filmmaking trio of director James Ivory, screen writer Ruth Prawler Jhabvala and producer Ismael Merchant has turned out a number of striking literary adaptations during the past two decades, and this one is the best. Based on a 1908 novel by E.M. Forster (A Passage to India), this sunny Edwardian romance examines the inhibi­ tions of British society at the dawn of the modern age. Helena Bonham Carter (Lady Jane) is intriguing as the headstrong but naive heroine and other members of the talented cast, including Maggie Smith and Denholm Elliot, invest their characters with moments of engaging eccen­ tricity.

THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS. ★ ★ * ★ Rated PG-13. Sec review on page 11.

SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL. Pro­ ducer-director John Hughes (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club) and Director Howard Deutch scored a hit last year with their first collaboration Pretty in Pink. Their second is another coming-of-age comedy-drama (this time without Molly Ringwald) that stars Eric Stoltz (Mask), Mary Stuart Masterson (At Close Range), Craig Sheffer (Fire with Fire), and Lea Thompson (Back to the Future). Rated PG-13.

STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME ★ ★ ★ 1/2. The further adventures of the crew from Starship Enterprise are chronicled in the funniest most easy-going entry in the series.

Earth is being menaced by a space-probe that’s destroying the atmosphere; Admiral Kirk et al. ride at a time-warp back to 1986 to remedy the situation by bringing back a pair of humpback whales. Their often uproarious mission on today’s streets of San Francisco, as well as the film’s craftily conceived ecological message make this latest Trekkie outgoing an irresistible delight. Rated PG. THREE FOR THE ROAD. Starring Charlie Sheen (“Platoon”). Rated PG-13.

TIN MEN. ★ ★ ★ ★. Writer-director Barry Levinson returns to Diner territory for a serio­ comic look at aluminum-siding salesmen in Baltimore circa 1963. Richard Drey fuss plavs a snazzy huckster on the way up, Danny DeVito a hapless conniver on the way down Their ongoing fued following a fender-bender esen lates to the point where Dreyfuss steals DeVito’c wife (Barbara Hershey), much to the ddfgh* °of his increasingly harried nemisis.

Fri-Sat eveningss $25 ^Sun^na'mcu. continued from page 15 attention and some occasionally windy, repetitive dialogue passages, Tin Men is an unusually adroit Hollywood movie that makes no excuses for its morally suspect, terminally adolescent anti-heroes. Dreyfuss is winning in a Duddy Kravitz-stylc role and DeVito shows for the first time some humanity lurking beneath his crude exterior. As an added bonus, a number of fine character actors (especially comedian Jackie Gayle) bring a hilarious intensity to the gabby lives of the con men they portray, both on and off the job. Rated R.

A giant bath, crow’s nest and Intracoastal

By Susan Stanton In this five-bedroom contemporary home, the master bath is larger than most bedrooms, measuring 14 x 28 feet and featuring a classic black and white tile floor, a skylight that opens, a Jacuzzi and a stained glass window custom designed to evoke the feeling of waves.

Now this is luxury.

And the 10 x 10-foot crow’s nest at the top of the home is perfect for office work, quiet contemplation or listening to music.

It comes complete with swimming pool and other niceties such as a remarkable security system that alerts the owner when someone crosses any threshold by softly announcing “Door 1,” (the front door). The current owner says this is absolutely the best way of knowing where the children are at all times.

Centered on the first level is a solid oak staircase leading to a catwalk, which overlooks the living and dining rooms and is perfect for entertaining. It is designed to accommodate a baby grand piano at one end and separates the master bedroom suite from what is now the children’s wing. .

I ocated on the Intracoastal Waterway, the first level of this impressive residence offers panoramic views from the guest suite, living room, kitchen and informal dining ,rw and the breezy screened porch is a perfect place to relax on a lazy spring day.

Thehving room*s vaulted ceilings and formal marble fireplace add to the grandeur, ' rlVnSl dininc room is located a few steps above the living room, convenient to

suite or, on a rainy day curl up nex afar horizonta| planes of the nine'are offset by the curves bordering the entry. The entry is reached by ascending

Delicatessen. The word alone once con­ jured up images of that neighborhood sandwich shop where Pop entertains you with his jokes, Junior stacks hot ham and Swiss on rye and Mom heaps on a helping of her homemade potato salad.

These days, with the word usually short­ ened to “deli,” you may think instead of rolls of cold cuts at your neighborhood grocery store, the fried chicken at a convenience store, or—under the general heading “take-out”—of anything from the church barbecue to the hot dog carts at Riverwalk.

The issue of whether these compete with Mom and Pop’s place in quality is one you’ll have to debate with your tastebuds, wallet and perhaps our restaurant reviewer.

But the question of whether the ever­ evolving delis can compete on sanitation standards is another matter.

There are existing health standards and inspections for all prepared food retailers, but the convenience store delis, roadside stands and civic club cookouts do pose some unique problems.

First, many convenience store delis have structural shortcomings since they weren’t originally set up for the sanitary prepara­ tion and storage of foods. Often food­ storing coolers are not large enough for the demands of a delicatessen, not allowing proper air circulation around the coolers or maintaining the proper storage tempera­ tures.

Restrooms can also be a problem. When a convenience store begins serving prepared food, it must make its bathrooms available for public use and, theoretically, they are to be kept clean and properly maintained.

Since many convenience stores have a history of high turnover in ownership and management, some routine building main­ tenance can be neglected and the area of potential neglect that worries health in­ spectors most is an overflowing septic tank.

The hot food carts found downtown, at Riverwalk and the beach, can pose a different set of problems since they’re mobile. Some vendors take advantage of their mobility and operate without the proper certificates and licenses by operating only on the weekends when inspectors are off duty.

For the food on carts, the most common health threat occurs during the summer months when temperatures soar and it’s

more difficult for them to maintain safe food storage temperatures. Ironically, this is the time when most of the vendors operate, to cash in on beach traffic.

The city health department works toward assuring that all foods sold to the public are safe. The carts, convenience stores and all other retailers of prepared food must be licensed, and all employees preparing or touching the food must go to food handler’s classes and obtain a health permit. Unan­ nounced inspections are made periodically and businesses not passing have to come up to snuff or eventually they can be closed.

Those roadside barbecues, often spon­ sored by church and civic organizations, also fall under the regulations, but they don’t need a license. They need only approval and a temporary permit.

One inspector told us his greatest concern is with the roadside stand chicken sales since one in every four chickens carries salmonella, a bacteria that causes violent cases of food poisoning. Although the threat of salmonella is eliminated when high temperatures are maintained during the cooking process, the cook must be ex­ tremely conscientious. He must prepare and store the chicken properly and wash his hands frequently to prevent further spread of the disease.

Even with the health codes and in­ spection procedures, there is plenty of room left for caution, and a few of favorite tips gleaned from researching the subject are: • Food that is prepared hot should not be accepted if it is served up luke warm.

This food must be maintained at a high temperature to insure that there are no disease-causing bacteria.

• When you stop at a roadside stand, look for a certificate and license. If they have them, they will be prominently posted.

If not, move on.

• Don’t expect to be totally protected by the health inspectors. If a place looks dirty to you, it probably is dirty, and you should pass it by. If the public display isn’t up to standards, you might wonder what the less public kitchen must look like.

• When food is served up from a public “food bar,” be sure that it is protected by a “sneeze guard” for obvious reasons.

• If you have doubts or suspicions, speak up. For minor problems, tell the store manager. If the problem could be serious, save a portion of the suspected food for testing and call the Health Department.

EXCEPTIONAL DINING AT AT STERLINGS

,

By Rob McKnight The green and white awning that shields the windows at Sterling’s Flamingo Cafe has seen duty beckoning diners for two prior establishments, and while both were respect­ able enough, this time a truly exciting restaurant has sprung up in Avondale.

Perhaps the greatest contribution Ster­ ling’s has made to the local restaurant community is the addition of its name to that ever so short list of area restaurants that are good choices for entertaining guests from out of town. Reservations are a must on weekend nights, and our table was still waiting even though we were a bit late. Servers clad in khaki and oxford cloth and more green and white inside gave Sterling’s a crisp, cool feeling, and ceiling fans and pastels contributed a misleading but enjoyable island mystique. An im­ pressive display of available wines, do­ mestic and imported, caught my eye on the way to our table. Sterling’s 60-plus selection wine list is among the top five in the

area, and the menu is equally exciting and innovative.

Appetizers are a must to make the most of this dining adventure. Such treats as vegetable pate, wrapped in nori seaweed, wild mushrooms and chicken pate, smoked salmon and marlin and mushrooms stuffed with beef and pork tenderloin make Ster­ ling’s an excellent spot for “grazing,” that trendy practice of making a light meal from several appetizers rather than ordering an entree.

My personal favorite among the pre­ dinner offerings was the fried goat cheese with sundried tomatoes. The cheese, lightly breaded and rolled in almonds, is fried just long enough to warm it, after which it is topped with half a sundried tomato. The resulting combination of taste and texture is fantastic. Snails, shrimp and scallops are also prepared in innovative ways. Appe­ tizers arrived at our table immediately after beverages and established a pace and style of service that remained consistent through­ out the evening.

The house salad that accompanied each entree was crisp and fresh but could be improved by the addition of one or two unique vegetables. The dressings, a house vinegrette, bleu cheese, and Ceasar’s are all made on the premises and all are interest­ ing. The Ceasar’s is exceptional. Home­ made bread is served with the salad and while our first loaf had been burned in the warmer, its replacement was fresh and tasty.

Our entrees arrived at the table steaming hot and artistically presented. Each was complemented by sweet baby carrots an au gratin potatoes. The duckling was superb. Roasted to the perfect degree of crispness, it was neither tough nor game?The blackberry brandy sauce with which it was topped provided just the right bitters­ weetness to accent the flavor of the duck.

Prime veal tenderloin was sauteed in butter, white wine and lemon juice to prepare veal Francaise. The veal was cooked a perfect medium, thus maintaining its texture and delicate flavor. .

The grouper meunier was prepared with similar care, and the filet that resulted was moist and Oaky, and the integrity of flavor of the fish was maintained. Our server was attentive without being disruptive, wine and water glasses were kept full, and the standard of service required of a fine dining establishment was met.

Desserts at Sterling’s are all prepared in their own kitchen, and they are of the same high caliber as the rest of the fare. We elected to limit ourselves to two desserts, and thus had to bypass such offerings as chocolate almond cheesecake, strawberry romanoff, and chocolate Flamingo (a truffle­ like extravaganza, topped with fresh whipped cream). We did, however, savor every bite

of white chocolate mousse, and our profi­ teroles, miniature pastry puffs filled with vanilla’ ice cream and topped with grand marnier chocolate sauce.

Both were delightfully decadent.

Sterling’s Flamingo Cafe has some unique and daring offerings, and more impor­ tantly, they deliver. Best of all, they do this and remain affordable. Dinner for two, including appetizers and dessert but exclud­ ing alcohol was $44. While this may be expensive by local standards, a comparable meal in Miami or Atlanta could run well over one hundred dollars. 1 lelt the restau­ rant feeling that its value was among the best 1 have ever seen anywhere.

musical WEEKENDS

By Paul Chiaravalle do!i"t te.nte\tainment business, I really nmnl! R the .°ng weekends that most people do because I am working at these times to provide entertainment for the others who are off from work.

And since I also work regular hours, my tree time is very limited. But I still do enjoy „ myself, both on and off the job.

My wife, Sherrie, and I have done a lot of traveling, and we really like that. For instance, a couple of years ago we went to Germany and visited Heidelberg and Neuss. We also traveled up to Bamburg near the Czechoslo­ vakian border, which gave me my first experience on the Autobahn. My only regret is that my car would only go 92 miles an hour.

Even with the pedal floored, the way other cars were passing me, it was like sitting at a traffic light.

When we got back to the states from that trip, it was about seven at night but that was more like three or four in the morning “body time,” due to the jet lag. We went to eat and when we got back I was so exhausted I fell asleep at the table in the restaurant.

One of the places we have enjoyed most, however, is San Francisco. We like to travel up to the Muir Woods and see the giant redwood trees. My wife enjoys fresh garde­ nias, and every morning I would go down to Ghirardelli Square and buy her a fresh gardenia. We love visiting Fisherman’s Warf and the rest of the sites. It is really a very lovely city.

Since I traveled about six months out of the year when I was in the Army band, I have seen more of this country than most people and that gave me an appreciation of what a rerv beautiful country we have. It is interest­ ing to see the different lifestyles from coast o coast. For instance, at times I have heard new songs on the east coast and have arranged them for the Jazz Ambassadors on our way across the country to the west only to discover that they hadn’t become popular yet where

%Tergr8eaTpieasure I had was playing at the ,w-u'%g iazz Festival when I was m the Jazz Wichita Jazz es^ one of the best Jazz m the country, and we served as both

Paul Chlaravalle Is the popular director of the St. Johns River City Band here and has appeared with such artists as Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Stevie Wonder, "Doc” Severinsen, Rich Matteson, Andy Williams and Kathle Lee Johnson, co-host of "Good Morning America." He previously was director of the Jazz Ambassadors, the Army's touring jazz ensemble, with which he conducted In every state and In Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Canada and Mexico. Earlier, he had been director of the Old Guard Rte and Drum Corps, the official escort to the President of the United States.

judges and clinicians, offering instructions to the various groups. We worked with such people as Chic Corea, Billy Taylor, Spyro Gyra and Rich Matteson, and on the Sunday of the festival we played to a crowd of about 8,000-10,000 people. To get on stage in front of that many people who love jazz is really exhilarating.

Another favorite activity of mine is snorkeling, but one time it almost cost me my life. We were in a small bay in Honolulu, swimming between the inner and outer bays and since I was the last to go out my friends were way ahead of me. While crossing the key I got caught in a current and it tired me out.

To make matters worse, the waves were breaking right where I was, and I was swallowing water through my snorkel.

At one point I was sure that I was going to drown, and I called out for my friends but they were so far ahead that they didn’t hear me. I finally made my way to what I thought was a rock, and while inhaling water and being battered around by the waves I grabbed on and was able to catch my breath. Unfortu­ nately, it was not a rock but a coral reef and I was pretty well cut up as the waves continued crashing down on me.

Still, I stayed there a good 'eight to 10 minutes before leaving to slowly work my way to the shallow part of the key.

After that experience, I went right back to snorkeling. Obviously, it didn’t scare me enough to make me want to quit. I love it too much.

Back home, I live at the beach arid enjoy running from where I live to the pier and back, which is about two miles. I try to do that three or four times a week and especially enjoy

being out in the morning before anyone else is on the beach. This past Christmas the weather was so nice that I was out running on the beach in shorts and a T-shirt, which is quite a treat for me since I’m from Cleveland.

I also love swimming and all water sports and often take a dive in the ocean after I run.

When Friday night rolls around and I don’t have any appointments, Sherrie and I usually go out to dinner. I love seafood, especially Strickland’s at Mayport, and we also enjoy Ryan’s Steakhouse. Afterward, a movie is good but usually not TV. I don’t watch much television. I usually try to catch Hill Street Blues. It’s an excellent show, one of the few I think are really worthwhile.

When I have time, I like to visit places that offer live entertainment and often see some­ one I would like to perform with the River City Band. You don’t have to go to New York or Philadelphia to find someone who is talented and can work with the band.

Around here, I visit places like Strickland’s, Prime Time, the Park Suite Hotel and All That Jazz. I also try to attend music per­ formances sponsored by the University of North Florida and Florida Community Col­ lege at Jacksonville. I go not only to check out new players but also because I think it’s very important to support the performing arts here.

There are a lot of inexpensive things to do in Jacksonville that many people are not aware of such as the free concerts by the River City Band and a number of other groups.

I also enjoy keeping in touch with my parents. I call them two or three times a week, and I went to Cleveland just recently to visit them. As you can imagine, my phone bills are incredible.

My favorite time of the day is about 10:30 or 11 at night, when Sherrie and I have unwound from the day, and we have a good quiet talk. We just generally enjoy the time together.
