WHOSE SONG IS IT ANYWAY?

Songwriter Lou Gomez’s BIM SALA BIM surfaces in new Robert DeNiro Flick Film a Big Surprise; Rights & Royalties a Bigger Mystery

By Sally Deering

The story starts with

two brothers and a couple of friends from Bayonne who wrote and recorded a song called Bim Sala Bim back in the 1970s. They took the title from “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” when Carson played fortune teller Carnac the Magnificent. He and Ed McMahon would say “Bim Sala Bim” as a greeting to each other.

Lou Gomez wrote the lyrics and his brother Richie Gomez wrote the melody and Ralph Cohen wrote the arrangements to Bim Sala Bim when they were in the 70s band “Hudson County”. The band eventually broke up, but the song lives on. Fast forward to 2016,

Lou Gomez Warren Schatz and asked Gomez finds out from a to produce some material friend that Bim Sala Bim for a compilation album is on the soundtrack to the new Robert DeNiro movie, and a single release. Our single was “Heaven’s Here HANDS OF STONE. on Earth” and we were told “The group became known for its funk sound,” it would be released at the Gomez says, from his home same time Vickie Sue Robinson was to release Turn in Sayreville. “We were the Beat Around.

WHOSE SONG IS IT ANYWAY? Cont’d from page 2 called Fantastic Soul Inventions who just slapped their name on our recording.”

The song was featured on You Tube, the TV show “Soul Train” and recently was heard in the new Robert DeNiro movie.

“The irony is that we never made a dime from the song,” Gomez says.

“The amazing thing is that after all this time the song lives on in discos around the world and now on the big screen.”

Gomez sings these days for the band Sounds of the Street 5 that tours all over South Jersey. He says he found out the other day that the Master which is owned by their former “Hudson County” piano player John Mulrennan was sold to

But “What I learned now is if there’s still a little mystery you own the Master, you have the rights to as to who owns the rights distribute it,” Gomez says. to the song, not just the “Someone in Europe heard Master.

Bim Sala Bim and John gave them permission to use the song or sold them the rights. That’s how it got in the movie. Some producer from the movie called him and said, we heard this song, we want to use a clip for the movie.”

When asked how the rights to the song got tangled up in red tape, Gomez says, “It was the 70s, we were glad to be working.”

When asked how the rights to the song got tangled up in red tape, Gomez says, “It was the 70s, we were glad to be working.”

Ironically, the success of Bim Sala Bim broke up the band for good.

“It started to get a lot of air play across the country,” Gomez says. “Then we all started getting carried away

about the money.”

HOPE RISES

New Play by Speranza Theatre & Women Rising explores Domestic Violence Original Play features Stories of Survival and Hope at Art House Productions in JC

By Sally Deering

P

ower and control – two red flags of bad behavior when it comes to relationships, but sometimes a person doesn’t know what they’re getting into until it’s too late. Situations like this are the basis of a new collaborative play by Jersey City’s Speranza Theatre Company and Women Rising, a refuge, resource and referral for survivors of domestic violence.

WOMEN RISING, Stories of Hope, directed by Diana Basmajian, will run Thurs, Oct. 20-Sun, Oct. 23 at Art House Productions in Jersey City. A compilation by playwrights Megan Lohne, DeLora Whitney, Caren Skibell, Merri Biechler, Lia Romeo, and Dania Ramos, under the guidance of lead writer Jennie Contuzzi, the play is a series of monologues and scenes that focus on the survivors of domestic abuse. It features original music by Drama Desk Award nominee composer Estelle Bajou.

“It’s a play about survivors of domestic violence, the staff members of Women Rising, and the police officers and friends who have helped them survive,” Heather Wahl, Producing & Artistic Director of Speranza Theatre Company says.

WOMEN RISING: Stories of Hope features Alicia Rivas, Vanessa Rappa and Samille Ganges “We started this process a year ago by interviewing people who have personal connections to domestic violence. The interviews are anonymous but the words and feelings they evoke show throughout the play.”

The cast includes Laura Gourdine, Alicia Rivas, Larissa Adamczyk, Vanessa Rappa, Jason Faust and Samille Ganges.

“We hope this play will start a conversation about domestic violence,” Wahl says. “It’s learned behavior, it’s generational, but it doesn’t discriminate. That’s something we’re trying to show in this play; it can happen to anybody. You hear a lot of different voices from different cultures.

You hear from a young Latina, and an Indian woman in an arranged marriage

whose mother-in-law abused her. The monologues are all inspired from true stories.”

It was about a year ago that Wahl and her staff reached out to Women Rising’s Joaneileen Coughlan, Director of Domestic Violence Services at Women Rising, to see if the nonprofit would be open to collaborating on a play about domestic violence. The two groups have worked joined forces on other projects, too.

“A lot of fundraisers Speranza Theatre Company does, including our annual production of ‘The Vagina Monologues’ have been partnered with Women Rising,” Wahl says. “With WOMEN RISING: Stories of Hope, everyone was excited to have another venue

Sgt. Wilson Ruiz, Hudson County Sheriff’s Office poses to take a picture with a few of UWA’s A+Summer Campers

Recently, The Universal Warrior Mixed Martial Arts A+ Summer Leadership Camp (ages 5-14) of New Jersey took part in an annual Impacting Reinforcement Education Program with the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office in an effort to help their children see police in a positive perspective.

In a time where police and a few communities seem to be at odds, the Universal Warrior Mixed Martial Arts A+ Summer Leadership Camp viewed this visit to Hudson County Sheriff’s Office as a way of instilling in their students the motivation and inspiration to be better community leaders and be productive citizens in society.

As a part of this empowering lecture program led by Sgt. Wilson Ruiz, the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office gave the children that participated a full tour and education on not only the Judiciary/ Legal System in New Jersey, but also the Sheriff Officer Training Center and

concordant processes.

“The goal of UWA is always about “safety first”, bully safety, and prevention and the tour allowed the children to see from the inside how things work.”

Said Grand Master Austin Wright of the UWA. UWA also wanted their students to understand during this tour that “All Lives Matter”, and to trust and respect officers, as they are here to help and not hurt them.

Grand Master Austin Wright SR. of the UWA gave Special thanks to Sgt. Wilson Ruiz for giving the children an empowering lecture on the inner workings on the Jersey City Police Office and why it is better to grow up as a community leader versus allowing oneself to drift into a life of crime, “It was a great deterrence for the students, and provided early prevention which could help keep them on the right side of the law, starting young,” said Grand Master Wright. He also added “Power is in

education and our hopes are that our kids will spread the word and help share the positive message to their friends, their parents, and the outgrowth can provide real positive changes to positively impact our community. We have a diverse group of kids, ranging from ages 5 to 17; they asked many questions and absorbed a lot of valuable information. It has definitely impacted their awareness, just as we hoped.We would like to offer our sincerest gratitude to the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office and Sgt. Wilson Ruiz for the abundance of knowledge and valuable information, the time they gave to us, and the gift bags which the children loved.” concluded Grand Master Wright.

A Whole Lotta Love At The Little Food Café Mother and Daughter know the Right Ingredients for a Well-Done Partnership

By Sally Deering

A

t The Little Food Café, you might sometimes see the chef hug the manager and kiss her cheek and that’s perfectly alright because Chef Lisa Kushnir and Manager Cynthia Van Decker are a mother/daughter team that keeps things cooking at the tiny bistro.

The Little Food Café, which has been serving American comfort food since 2001 makes a big splash in Bayonne. On any given evening, right after the 5 pm work-day ends, it’s likely you’ll see commuters on line picking up their take-away dinners.

And on Sundays, The Little Food Café’s brunch is so delicious, groggy residents don’t mind a fig waiting for a table.

At The Little Food Café it’s all about home cooking like meat loaf, roast turkey, chicken pot pie and big pots of fresh soup made daily. Salads – 20 different salads – and homemade dressings. All fresh, from farm to table.

Fried Chicken Sandwich “We try to keep it seasonal,” Kushnir says “We do dinner specials, too. We’re only open till 8 pm and 70 percent of our dinner orders are take-out. It’s not pizza.

It’s not fast-food take-out.

It’s home-cooking. When we took over this place, it was a deli. We’d never had a business before. I worked for caterers for years, and different restaurants. So we took a situation that was here and slowly evolved it.”

Over the years, Kushnir and Van Decker have established strong ties to their customers who have become faithful and loyal regulars.

“One of my customers is an editor for Channel 7 News and they did a ‘Neighborhood Eats’ segment on us,” Kushnir says.

“They featured our pot pie,

Beef Chili Bowl we do a chicken pot pie.

We do fresh soups every day, too, and on Sunday we have brunch from 8 am to 2 pm. It’s the only day we have waiter service. We play funky music and serve dishes like Crazy Pancakes and French toast.”

The Little Food Café seats 45, and it’s a family restaurant. No liquor is served and, unfortunately, Kushnir and Van Decker have met with some resistance when trying to get a city ordinance changed to allow customers to bring their own wine and beer (BYO). Still, Kushnir’s interests are mainly in the kitchen and she keeps taking new courses to enhance her culinary skills. She holds an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts from Hudson County Community College and she’s back in school at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York, where she learned organics – grains, raw foods, and plant-based cooking.

Chef Lisa Kushnir and Manager Cynthia Van Decker are Daughter & Mom Kushnir and Van Decker keep The Little Food Café’s menu healthy by using the best and freshest ingredients.

Fruit and Cheese Platter “What I’m going to school for now is to learn more about healing food, cooking for healing particular ailments,” Kushnir says.

“And we might do some cooking classes out of here, starting with a basic cooking class for people

who are getting married or going off to college. I have a couple of friends, their daughters don’t know how to make anything.

And classes for cooking for people with diabetes.”

Kushnir and Van Decker are experts at catering, too.

They recently catered the Golden Door International Film Festival’s Opening and Closing Galas held at the Loew’s Jersey City Movie Palace in September – it was their third year doing it. They also work with Sylvie’s Sweets, a bakery that pulls out all the

Sylvie’s Sweets Cont’d on page 17

A Whole Lotta Love At The Little Food Café Cont’d from page 16 with their home-made sweet-tooth delights.

The mother/daughter team have been working closely for 15 years and although the road gets bumpy, at times, the two women have a deep bond of love and respect for each other.

“My mom is a Viking,”

Kushnir says. “She gets things done. She is the strongest woman I know.

We’re a good team. She handles the business, I handle the kitchen; it’s a good balance. When we opened in 2001, I asked her, ‘is this going to work?’

She said to me, “We don’t have any other option, but to succeed.”

Horror’s “Old Man” & “Kids”Together on the BIG Screen for the Halloween Season at The Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre Friday, October 21 at 8PM A RARE Vampire DOUBLE-FEATURE:

“Nosferatu” The FIRST vampire movie. SILENT with LOVE organ accompaniment. Starring Max Schreck.

Directed by F.W. Murnau.

(1922, 84mins., B&W, Silent).

Suitable for most audiences.

Followed By

“Dracula’s Daughter” The rarely screened “official” sequel to “Dracula” Starring Gloria Holden, Edward Van Sloan, Marguerite Churchill.

Directed by Lambert Hillyer.

(1936, 71 mins, B&W.) Screened in 35mm BOTH Films: $13 (for luck!) adults; $10 seniors (65+) and children (12 & younger).

Saturday, October 22 at 6PM “The Son of Frankenstein” Starring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Basil Rathbone, Lionel Atwill. Directed by Rowland V. Lee. (1938, Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s Monster is one of the most legendary performances in movie history, and Karloff portrayed the Monster for the third and final time on the big

screen in Son of Frankenstein.

As if that wasn’t enough to make the film a classic, Karloff was joined by his contemporary horror icon Bela Lugosi in what, arguably, was one of his finest Hollywood performance. Add in the always-good Basil Rathbone, having the chance here for once to play neither really a villain nor Sherlock Holmes, and the cast is one of the best in classic-era horror. Dr. Frankenstein’s son returns to his ancestral home and finds that local villagers still remember and fear his father’s creation. Goaded by a sinister man living amid the ruins of his father’s castle (Lugosi), Frankenstein decides to revive his father’s Monster – but to reform its brutish nature and thereby vindicate his father’s memory. Of course . . . things don’t work out as planned! It would not have been surprising if this second sequel turned out a bit shopworn, but Son of Frankenstein is a well crafted continuation of the Frankenstein saga, 99mins., B&W.) Screened in 35mm.

boasting an intelligent script, extraordinary sets and cinematography that continue the German Expressionist influence on American horror movies – and great performances by all, especially Karloff and Lugosi. $8 for adults; $6 for seniors (65+) and children (12 & younger).

Page 18-October 15-October 31, 2016 River View Observer

Saturday, October 22 at 8PM “Rosemary’s Baby” Starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavettes, and Ruth Gordon. Directed by Roman Polanski.

In his first American film, Roman Polanski re-invented the horror film, rescuing the genre from the schlocky, B-movie status to which it had fallen. Ironically, it was legendary schlock-master William Castle, creator of such gimmicky B horror flicks as “The Tingler” and “House on Haunted Hill”, who had purchased the rights to Ira Levin’s best-selling horror/ thriller and hired the young, newly-immigrated Polanski to direct. Polanski’s greatest strength is his subtlety; his pacing and sense of mood are masterful without calling attention to themselves. He avoids the gimmicks and gore that had been conventions of the horror genre, but instead employs Hitchcock’s propensity to find horror in the utterly mundane. The horror of the film’s underlying supernatural premise sinks its claws in so slowly and unobtrusively that the audience doesn’t notice the enveloping sense of dread and despair until too late.

Rosemary Woodhouse is a young wife, played with waiflike perfection by Mia Farrow, who moves into an old New

York City apartment building with her struggling actor husband. At first little seems out of order, except that their elderly neighbors are a bit eccentric and a tad nosy. But gradually, a sense begins to build in Rosemary – and the audience – that something is wrong not just with her neighbors but also with her unborn child. The film is also full of memorable performances, from small roles for iconic 1940s stars like Ralph Bellamy and Elisha Cook, Jr. to the Academy Award-winning performance by Ruth Gordon as the meddling neighbor, to Farrow’s haunting performance.

$8 for adults; $6 for seniors (65+) and children (12 & younger).

Combo discounts available for the two Saturday film.
