THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN

April 12 - 18, 2013

www.pasatiempomagazine.com

On the cOver 32 boy howdy Books, movies, and television have transformed cowboys — rough-riding working-class folks who rarely wore six-guns in real life — into frontier superheroes capable of righting wrongs on the range while warbling corny campfire songs. The New Mexico History Museum’s exhibition Cowboys Real and Imagined follows the metamorphosis of the cowboy from his humble origins to his status as pop-culture icon. The show, which opens Sunday, April 14, features nearly 1,000 artifacts. Take your spurs off at the door.

On our cover is Two young cowboys, Lee Austin on right, a photo taken circa 1922-1935

by Morrison, from the Tex Austin Collection; courtesy Palace of the Governors Photo Archives (NMHM/DCA), Negative No. 200092.

CO W MI ED NG NE N SD EX AY T

For more than 20 years, the Kitchen Angels organization has served free, nutritious meals to Santa Fe’s homebound critically ill and elderly citizens, many of whom depend on the kindness of the community to live out the remainder of their days with comfort and dignity.

Since 1992, hundreds of volunteers have gathered on a daily basis to ensure that those most in need are protected from hunger, and Kitchen Angels is committed to making sure that no one falls through the cracks.

Beyond that, Kitchen Angels provides vital emotional support to the homebound, many of whom would suffer in isolation without the organization’s dedication to community outreach.

Besides asking for donations and volunteers outright, Kitchen Angels involves Santa Fe in its ongoing fundraising task through a popular program called Angels Night Out. Each year for the past 14 years, restaurants have partnered with Kitchen Angels for an evening of food, fun, and giving.

The 15th Angels Night Out takes place on Thursday, April 18, and 25 restaurants have signed up to help keep Kitchen Angels’ heaven-sent wheels turning. Here’s how it works: make a reservation for dinner at one of the participating restaurants. Show up. Eat heartily. In return, each restaurant will donate 25 percent of your bill that evening (minus alcohol sales) to Kitchen Angels.

Visit www.kitchenangels.org for a list of Angels Night Out restaurants, and call the restaurants directly for reservations. If you can’t make it out on April 18, donations can still be made online at the organization’s website.

Dedicated volunteers are always welcome.

STAR CODES Heather Roan Robbins

Bulbs break ground and tree sap rises; what is in motion will build momentum this week. Trouble deepens, fights get down to the nitty-gritty, and new connections grow roots. If we don’t have a good place to direct this energy, it can spin around in us as anxiety or depression. If we don’t like what’s happening, make a considered effort to change it, because Venus enters earthy Taurus on Monday and strengthens whatever is now in motion.

A spring-cleaning desire hits us across the board. The mood is out with the old, in with fresh new answers as Mercury joins the sun, Venus, Mars, and Uranus in audacious, assertive Aries, and as Saturn challenges Uranus.

We may choose to discard old habits so that we can venture forward on a new and healthier road. Some of us will find this exhilarating; others may feel discombobulated. The Aries lineup encourages us to feel the fear and do things anyway. Not everything now in motion will take flight right away; some transformations may stand down this week as Pluto retrogrades for the summer. We may need to reorganize how power and resources are distributed before we launch forward again in the fall.

The weekend begins with fresh honesty as Mercury enters Aries; we have to add kindness and tactfulness. Venus enters Taurus on Monday to ground work and add a more romantic if territorial note. Venus approaches a creative, peace-loving sextile to Neptune over the week, which helps balance a concurrent urgent accident-prone Sun-Mars conjunction. The sparks fly in new relationships and international politics. Let’s vote for good outcomes with our imagination and our actions.

Friday, April 12: The mood is determined and strong with a few lurking insecurities. Old issues can trip us up this morning; invest energy into what matters, and don’t feed the weeds. Connect with important contacts. The midafternoon grows prickly — choose responses carefully. Extend comfort and connection tonight.

Saturday, April 13: There is easy repartee with many interruptions under a verbal Gemini moon. Keep the present in mind rather than run off after ghosts. Tonight, if sleep is difficult, engage in inspired spontaneity.

Sunday, April 14: Intuitive flashes may become sudden impulses; check the facts first. Offer good-hearted truths to cut through recent clutter, but control overly optimistic harebrained moves as the moon and Jupiter conjunct.

Tonight, let the burble of words flow and look for the deep meanings.

Annette Alvarez

Monday, April 15: Make connections early — the outgoing mood grows more private later on. People run a defensive edge later as the moon enters Cancer. Venus enters settled, earthy Taurus and offers emotional ballast later on. We need heart-to-heart honesty tonight.

Tuesday, April 16: Momentum pushes us forward, but a lack of people skills could trip us up as defensive Mars semisquares Chiron. Pulled between work and personal issues, we may feel dissatisfied with both, but honesty and empathy can open the logjam. Evening wafts wistfully as the moon opposes Pluto.

Replace them and save money.

Wednesday, April 17: The mood calls for bravery, accomplishment, and healthy boundaries, not just rowdy pugnacity, though it will settle for that as the sun conjuncts action-packed Mars. Carefully engage an urge to take action. Get physical and work this impulse out.

Thursday, April 18: Stay out of the path of cranky people as the moon squares Mars and then enters Leo. Renewed generosity can simplify our mood midday, but emotions overflow as Venus sextiles Neptune. Engage in romantic gestures but reel in expectations. Turn this sensitive impulse into aesthetic appreciation — notice the brave crocus and be inspired. ◀

In Other wOrds Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World by Shereen El Feki, Pantheon Books, 346 pages “If you really want to know a people, start by looking inside their bedrooms,” Shereen El Feki writes in the introduction to Sex and the Citadel.

To judge this book by its cover, you’d expect a lighthearted approach to a provocative subject. The title cleverly plays on the steamy HBO sitcom Sex and the City, and the dust jacket offers a slyly ribald visual pun on the crescent moon and star of Islam. If you have fatwas, prepare to hurl them now.

Once inside the book, you’ll still find plenty of humor, but it’s harnessed to an impressively researched work of sociology. El Feki, a scientist, journalist, and academic, has traveled far and delved deep through the Arab world for half a decade trying to get a handle on the customs, laws, attitudes, hang-ups, and religious dicta that shape the sex lives of the region in general, and Egypt and Cairo in particular. Through this understanding, she intends to shine a broad light on what makes the region tick, politically and socially.

There was a time when the West saw the Arab world as a hotbed of sexual license.

El Feki describes Gustave Flaubert’s trip to Egypt in 1849, the year before he began work on Madame Bovary. Flaubert wasn’t much moved by Arab culture or commerce.

It was sex, readily available, of all kinds and with both genders, that had his attention.

“Flaubert proceeded to [work] his way up the Nile,” El Feki writes. (The word she uses isn’t work, though it ends with the same letter.)

But now, she observes, the shoe is on the other foot. It is the Arab world that seems buttoned up tight on sex while the West is seen as the promiscuous playground of flesh and the devil. A rise in Islamic fundamentalism, fed by decades of dictatorship and repression, has brought a smothering curtain down over sexual attitudes in Egypt and throughout the Muslim world. But with the revolution in information technology, and “as political upheaval convulses the region,” the author wonders, “is a sexual shake-up next in line?”

To find out, El Feki sought out people from all walks of life. She talked to prostitutes, pimps, mullahs, sheiks, cross-dressers, gays, lesbians, transgendered people, philosophers, students, politicians, writers, activists, sex therapists, cab drivers, drug dealers, gigolos, scientists, wives, husbands, teenagers, old people, and a whole lot more.

The sociosexual phenomena she reports on are fascinating — sometimes disturbing, sometimes delightful. She covers topics from a brisk trade in contraband Chinese artificial hymens to restore virginity for the wedding night to an anecdotal suspicion that sexual dysfunction in Egyptian males may be the product of a nefarious WesternIsraeli plot: gossip has it that “there are secret agents all over Cairo wearing special belts that emit some sort of spray or beam to neuter Egyptian men, thereby weakening the nation and reducing population growth.” And then there’s the intriguing “missing-vagina syndrome, in which a husband cannot find his wife’s relevant parts,” a condition attributed to “mischievous jinn, or spirits, summoned by someone with a grudge” to put a person sexually out of business.

We learn about various kinds of unofficial marriage that Egyptians can access to dodge the Islamic proscription against pre- and extramarital relations. A mut’a is a short-term “pleasure marriage” allowed in Shiite (but not Sunni) Islam, with a contract, a built-in provision for termination, and “intimacy generally part of the package.” An ’urfi is a less formal, unrecorded form of union that also comes with sex benefits. A “summer marriage” allows a man of means to buy the sexual services of a young woman for a short, contractually specified vacation union, with a skimpy cover of religious authority.

El Feki, the daughter of an Egyptian father and a Welsh mother, brings the perspective of her Arab heritage and Western upbringing to the fiendishly complicated subject matter. She paints a picture of a culture shackled by rigidly conservative fundamentalism, of a male population laboring under insecurities and a female population oppressed by paternalistic and sometimes sadistic restrictions. But she questions the scriptural authority that dictates this situation, and she talks to scholars, both secular and religious, who paint a very different picture of attitudes toward sex in earlier Islamic periods. “It is through their interpretations of Islam,” she writes, “that many Muslims are boxing themselves and their religion in.”

The book would have benefited from a glossary. Many Arabic words are defined when they are introduced but can be elusive when encountered many pages on. A list of italicized terms would have made the journey through the sexual maze of the Islamic world more easily negotiable.

It’s a serious topic, and El Feki has done a gargantuan and gutsy job of research. She treats her subject with respect but also with a lively irreverence, which is the appropriate tone for a book about sexual customs and foibles. Toward the end, as she becomes increasingly intent on shoring up her thesis, the book grows more serious and loses a bit of the light touch that makes the bulk of it so readable. But she’s fearless, calling a spade a spade and wading into neighborhoods, both physical and topical, where angels might well fear to tread.

book reviews

SubtextS A winning state: New Mexico poets New Mexico is a hotbed of creativity, especially the poetic kind. A ridiculous number of poets were born and bred in or later relocated to the state — and many of them are winning national awards for their writing, often shining a spotlight on New Mexico traditions and terrain. Poet and fiction writer Benjamin Alire Sáenz, originally from Old Picacho, New Mexico — and currently chairman of the creative-writing department at the University of Texas at El Paso — won this year’s PEN/ Faulkner Award for Fiction for his story collection Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club (published by Cinco Puntos Press). The first Hispanic writer to win the award since it was established in 1981, Sáenz has also received an American Book Award and numerous awards for his poetry, including a Lannan Foundation Poetry Fellowship.

Sáenz reads from his poetry at Collected Works Bookstore (202 Galisteo St., 988-4226) at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 14, alongside locally renowned poet Miriam Sagan, author of more than 20 books and director of the Santa Fe Community College creative-writing program.

Their reading is part of the Muse Times Two poetry series, a project of Lore of the Land, Inc. Arthur Sze, a former poet laureate of Santa Fe and author of eight books of poetry, was named the winner of this year’s Jackson Poetry Prize from the nonprofit Poets & Writers. The annual $50,000 prize, established seven years ago, is given to “an American poet of exceptional talent who deserves wider recognition.”

Sze is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and a recipient of a Lannan Literary Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and two creative-writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, among other honors. He is currently a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

ART, YOGA, SWIMMING, GARDENING AND NATURE HIKES IN A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT

The River Swimmer by Jim Harrison, Grove Press, 198 pages In this era of long and longer novels, the novella might seem endangered.

Not if Jim Harrison can help it. Among his nearly 20 works of fiction, Harrison has written a half dozen collections of short long stories — or are they long short stories? — usually three to a volume and contrasting in tone, temper, and theme: one serious, one comical, one quasi-metaphysical.

His latest volume is different. The River Swimmer contains only two tales.

The stories are interrelated in that both address the importance of place. Both are centered in Michigan, the setting of many of Harrison’s tales. The tone of the stories is also similar — serious and consequential — even though the title story has elements of magical reality while its companion, “The Land of Unlikeness,” is a hard reconsideration of what’s real. Taken separately, each is a small masterpiece. Considered together, they demonstrate a small turn in Harrison’s approach and a further refinement in a favorite theme: what it means — physically, mentally, and spiritually — to be a man.

In most hands, novellas sacrifice something — character development, setting detail, or plot complications — to come in at 100 pages or less.

This is seldom true in Harrison’s work. Characters are fully developed, setting plays a central role.

Plot? Consider one of his earliest efforts, “Legends of the Fall,” made famous by the 1994 film adaptation featuring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. Its action swings between Europe, America’s East Coast, and Montana, with World War I as a backdrop. And that’s not the only ground it covers. The story examines innocence, both individual and cultural, as well as love, devotion, and the relationship between fathers and sons, all in about 80 pages.

The plots in The River Swimmer aren’t quite as grand. In “The Land of Unlikeness,” Clive, a 60-year-old Ivy League art professor who has given up painting for criticism, returns to the family farm to care for his mother while his sister takes her first trip to Europe, a continent Clive has seen some 30 times. At home, he revisits his youth, including his high school flame, Laurette, who awakens feelings that Harrison describes with words like twitching. The visit also awakens something else: actual joy in seeing and making art, something he hasn’t felt since he gave up such things as washing his own car 40 years earlier.

The second story concerns an awakening as well, this time in a 17-year-old who is more comfortable in the water than on dry ground. Thad travels by swimming, going great distances in northern Michigan rivers. After suffering a beating inflicted by a girlfriend’s father, and nearly drowning the man in return, Thad decides to swim to Chicago. No small feat. Coping with that strange — at least to him — metropolis leaves him even more confused, especially as he adds girlfriend number two to his life. But something more fantastic has changed his worldview. After the beating, Thad arrives in a lagoon that harbors water babies, the spirits of infants who died during their short time on earth. These symbols of lost youth seem to swim between both tales.

Harrison crafts these stories in his usual a-life-examined way. The writing is peppered with wry observation, both on the masculine puzzle (“He recalled his father warning him not to become too soft but then felt he wouldn’t become too soft if everyone else was too hard”) and on things in general (“rosemary, currently America’s most overused herb”). Mostly what these wonderful stories do is bring so much to so little. Size, measured in pages, doesn’t matter to Harrison.

Rob DeWalt I The New Mexican

Natalie Goldberg on Zen and the art of writing

PERHAPS THE STERNEST AND MOST PRESSING PIECE OF ADVICE one writer can give to another during times of perceived creative drought is: There is no such thing as writer’s block; there is only the writer blocking the writing. So, you know, shut up and write.

It’s a lesson that author, painter, and Zen practitioner Natalie Goldberg has been giving her students for decades during her small, silent, intensive workshops, the most recent incarnation of which is “The True Secret of Writing,” a “sit, walk, write” retreat that is held at the historic Mabel Dodge Luhan House in Taos when it’s offered in Northern New Mexico.

It may not seem as gentle a lesson as “keep your hand moving,” which Goldberg urges her students to do in her 1986 book Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within. But it’s one that often bears repeating when negativity and ego come knocking at any scribe’s subconscious.

On Tuesday, April 16, to celebrate the release of Goldberg’s new book, The True Secret of Writing: Connecting Life With Language (Atria Books), Collected Works Bookstore presents Goldberg in conversation with author Joan Halifax Roshi, the founder of Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe and the center’s abbot and head teacher. The practice of writing for writing’s sake, Goldberg offers, is its own reward, but it is also a large part of how we simply practice being alive.

Even for those not invested in the practice of meditation, Goldberg’s observations — and guidance on how to conduct a sit, walk, write workshop on your own (with as few as two people) — are inspiring. Readers will be eager to find a café or a quiet room and get down to the business of knowing their writing, and by doing so knowing themselves more deeply.

Pasatiempo: Why did you decide to put this book out now?

Natalie Goldberg: I had been teaching for 12 years, doing these silent retreats, and it felt very right to do the book. I was taking a year off from teaching, and I just felt that the idea was in full bloom at the time and that I had come far enough, that I knew how to create a practice and share it with the world. It’s what I was aiming for, to bring everything at my back forward — Zen practice, writing, everything — so that everyone could practice it and share it. Also, I’m 65, and that’s very sobering. I am not going to live forever. The director at the Mabel Dodge Luhan House, whom I taught with for 20 years, is now retired. I thought, OK, put it all down on paper now, while you’re still kicking. About six months before I finished the book, I found an outline for it that I had written 10 years earlier. I originally didn’t know I wanted to write this book, but I was aiming to put out what I knew about Zen. Up until now, believe it or not, I couldn’t quite encapsulate it in words.

Pasa: It’s interesting that the subtitle of the book is Connecting Life With Language. On more than one occasion within its pages, you seem surprised to find yourself thinking about, and writing about, death, whether it concerns you, a friend, a student, or someone else.

Goldberg: In some ways I always wanted to connect life with language, and I also wanted writing to feed my life. I’ve never wanted to just put something great on the page and then go commit suicide or go get drunk and wallow.

I wanted what I put on the page to not only feed my readers but hopefully come back to nurture me too. ... Death is always kind of abstract when you’re young; you don’t really get it. At least my generation didn’t. I think younger generations are getting a better understanding of death because so many people around them are dying — of old age, of cancer, of violence.

Things are more mortal for them, it seems, and death, as a part of life, is also a part of being connected to language and words.

Pasa: Have you discovered a generational gap in how people view writing and sitting as complementary or symbiotic practices?

Goldberg: First of all, I want to make it clear that meditation can support writing, but writing is also its own full Zen activity. I consider it equal to sitting, because during that time of writing, you really grow an intimacy with yourself and your mind, and simultaneously with the world around you. Writing is also a way of clearing the mind. You write down everything, and you’re in a sense, then, empty. I don’t find that much of a difference between generations and how they view the practice, except possibly in their approach. Everyone asks me, “You handwrite, Natalie, but can I do

20

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

this practice if I use a computer and, really, if I just use my two thumbs on a keyboard?” And I say definitely. You’re using different physical material, and a slightly different bend of the mind comes out. Not better or worse, just different.

Pasa: Some studies say that handwriting, especially cursive handwriting, increases brain activity more than typing does. There are still journalists and other writers who prefer to handwrite while taking notes and transcribing interviews before going to the keyboard.

Goldberg: Certainly for me, handwriting was the first way I learned to write. But a lot of people are beginning their familiarity with writing by typing now, and they’re creating a different route in the nervous system, a different neural pathway. If that neural path is different, then how are their minds different, and how does that affect how one clears the mind? On the book tour, when I discussed meditation, no one batted an eye. Even if they don’t do it, meditation is a much more familiar world than when Writing Down the Bones came out in 1986. Back then most people had little familiarity with it. And knew cursive.

Pasa: How do some writers feel when you tell them, upon entering the silent practice, that they must let go of that novel they’ve been working on for a bit?

Goldberg: Many students protest that proposition at first. And I’ll say to them, if you let go of it, you’ll get through it in a bigger, much more efficient way. Don’t get frozen with it. Let writing do writing, and let it take you where you need to go rather than trying to control it. Often what happens is we freeze with a novel and torture ourselves with the first three sentences of the first paragraph, and three hours later we haven’t gotten any further. If you take the writing on as practice, it’s no longer a chore, it’s an exploration, an invitation to dig deeper into places, characters, and your own motivations. It’s “a priori writing.” It builds a strong spine and builds confidence in your own mind and an understanding of how the mind works. Now, wouldn’t those be good tools to have when entering into a novel?

Pasa: You also write that “a writer can become an opinionated old grouch unable to bear humanity.” Novelists aside, how can a practice like this help, say, a journalist — one who isn’t yet completely cynical about the profession?

Goldberg: Again, this practice leads to efficiency, being able to get out of the way of the right words and, hopefully, learning how not to be so damn precious in your writing. It’s a skill journalists need anyway; don’t you think? ◀

ANGEL OLSEN STRETCHES THE LIMITS

Robert Ker I For The New Mexican

ome voices are drifters. They materialize from no particular time or place, reflect the trouble and turmoil of a restless soul, fill your heart with love, break your heart with loss, and mosey on down the road, leaving nothing but a dust trail and the kind of grainy recollection that flits between a dream and a memory. Angel Olsen possesses such a voice.

Her singing, like Karen Dalton’s or Bob Dylan’s in the 1960s, doesn’t betray her age. It sounds far away yet intimate. She named her latest album Half Way Home, and the title suits its content; the phrase implies being in a state of limbo, but with direction and a destination in mind.

On Saturday, April 13, Olsen settles down for a performance at High Mayhem Studio. She’ll play a set of music that isn’t quite folk and isn’t quite indie rock, although she has garnered praise from both of those circles. Her music’s peculiar bending of those genres, along with blues and country, into a emotionally raw storytelling vehicle lends it some resemblance to what Greil Marcus called “the old, weird America.” It’s fitting that she grew up in St. Louis, a city up the river from the birthplace of the blues and downriver from Chicago’s rich, roots-based indie-rock heritage.

“My parents listened to a lot of country music on the radio,” Olsen told Pasatiempo. “I liked the Everly Brothers, the Righteous Brothers — you know, the oldies station. ... I think a lot of my influences come from older music.”

Half Way Home does in fact seem haunted by Phil Spector and the distantsounding melodies of early pop records, with songs like “Free” and “The Waiting” shaking off the acoustic-guitar coffehouse cobwebs and engaging in soulful, reverb-drenched boogie. This is a big step for an artist who began her career as a solo folkie. “I’ve been [playing by myself] forever,” she said, “and I just wanted to make music with people, and I wanted to see what I could come 22

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

up with. When I made Half Way Home, it changed the way I heard my music.”

Olsen plays in Santa Fe with a bassist, a drummer, and a cellist.

“I started writing songs on guitar when I was 15 or 16, and it wasn’t very good at all. I knew like three chords. I taught myself, so it was this new experience.

I tried to sing while playing piano and I couldn’t do it, so the guitar was the next natural step. When I was younger and just learning to write songs ... I was forcing my voice to do this thing in this one particular character. And then it occurred to me that it was OK to be experimental and to try to express my voice in different ways. You don’t have to keep one character.”

Nowadays, Olsen’s singing contains a full ensemble cast; she’s capable of swooping down to an otherworldly baritone or soaring upward like a released dove. She’ll sometimes slip into talking blues or let her syllables linger and flutter into the ether. The power and range of her voice are the most striking aspects of her music and are among the elements that sparked fellow troubadour Will Oldham to invite her to record and tour with him — a big break for her, both in terms of introducing her to a wider audience and lending her creative inspiration.

“Just watching how Oldham leads a group of people has helped me at least have an idea how to do that, because now — it’s a very exciting process, but it’s difficult when you’re doing it for the first time — I’m having to teach a bunch of people my songs. It’s a totally different process for me, even though I’ve been playing music for years. He’s played with many different people, but he’s also played solo quite a bit, and he’s gone through many different phases of making music. [It was beneficial] to be around that group of people and see the way he interacts with them and see how even when something isn’t totally going the way it was planned or practiced, it can be really awesome.”

Olsen shares with Oldham a fascination with death and a deep appreciation for the fleeting nature of life. “Lonely Universe,” the longest and arguably most harrowing song on Half Way Home, deals with the death of an older relative as

motivation for living a fuller life. “It’s only your life,” she sings. “It’s only going by.” In her songs, life is a mostly lonely — though not necessarily unhappy — endeavor that involves constant evolution of self. “When did the time become something I feel? And now as I disappear someone else becomes real,” she sings on the single “Tiniest Seed.”

Few people are able to express such ideas so pointedly. The lyric could also be a mantra for someone who drifts from one project to the next, who sings of being unsettled, and who even shifts the very timbre of her voice from line to line. She told a story about sitting on an airplane next to an 80-year-old woman who teaches college courses and writes books. She exclaimed to Olsen, “I just don’t know what to do with my life!” The overwhelming optimism and freedom in this anecdote was not lost on Olsen.

“I’ve always wanted to be involved in theater,” Olsen said. “But I reached out to music instead. And now I feel like I’m at this point where I’m creating a lot of things with friends — filmmaker friends or writers or artists that are around me in my life. I want to be able to make things with them, and I think, Oh I don’t have the schooling to do these things. But I’m of the opinion that even if you go to school your entire life, you can still suck at something — because it really takes just knowing yourself and knowing how you interact with other people and being in control of that and knowing how to express something well to make a good piece of art.” ◀

If any readers have doubted that David Mitchell is phenomenally talented and capable of vaulting wonders on the page, they have been heretofore silent. Mitchell is almost universally acknowledged as the real deal. His best-known book Cloud Atlas is one of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that no doubt is — and should be — read by any student of contemporary fiction . . .

[The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet] confirms Mitchell as one of the more fascinating and fearless writers alive.

– Dave Eggers, The New York Times Book Review David Mitchell’s novels include The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, a historical epic about a Dutch accountant’s adventures in feudal Japan, and Number9Dream, described as “an intoxicating ride through Tokyo’s dark underworlds and the even more mysterious landscapes of our collective dreams.”

Mitchell’s celebrated Cloud Atlas, which erases the boundaries of genre and language with six interconnected stories that take the reader from the 19th century in the remote South Pacific to a post-apocalyptic distant future, was described as a “Nabokovian delight in word play” by The Washington Times.

BEGUILING VIOLS Parthenia gives a concert of Elizabethan and Jacobean words and music

David Rodgers

mong the musical instruments that pass across this city’s stages, the viola da gamba qualifies as an infrequent and exotic visitor.

On Friday, April 12, however, concertgoers will have the opportunity to hear not just one viola da gamba but four of them, when the viol consort Parthenia appears at St. John’s College in When Music and Sweet Poetry Agree, a celebration of English words and music from the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. Joining them will be mezzo-soprano Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, who has performed here as a member of the women’s vocal group Anonymous 4, and actor Paul Hecht, widely applauded through a long career on stage, in television, and as a sonorous reader of audiobooks.

The viola da gamba, or just “viol” for short, enjoyed its heyday from the mid16th through the early-18th centuries, although modern practitioners, including the members of Parthenia, have met with success in encouraging contemporary composers to expand the repertoire. Lawrence Lipnik, who co-founded Parthenia in New York City in 1989, explained in an interview with Pasatiempo that fullfledged viols appeared in Italy in the 16th century, at the court of Isabella d’Este in Mantua. “The earliest viols that came into being,” he said, “were guitarlike instruments fitted with a raised, curved bridge that enabled them to be bowed.”

Whereas plucked string instruments like guitars and lutes were held sideways, 24

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

viols were positioned upright, supported by the player’s legs; viola da gamba means, literally, “viola of the leg.” Lipnik continued: “The tenor viol and the lute seem very similar, with both having six strings, fretted and tuned in fourths. The earliest examples of viols were very thin and delicate, with no sound-post, but the instrument evolved considerably through the 16th century. The first time you ever see a viol in England is in a study for a painting of Sir Thomas More’s family.” The original of that depiction, painted in 1527 by Hans Holbein (during the time of Henry VIII), was consumed in a fire in the 18th century, but by then it had fortunately been reproduced in copies. Numerous Renaissance artists would include a viola da gamba as a prop in their paintings, perhaps most famously Jan Vermeer, who portrayed it on four occasions, in every case in the company of a keyboard instrument.

That leads toward an explanation of Parthenia’s name, which the group took from a collection of music published in London in about 1624 under the title Parthenia In-Violata or Mayden-Musicke for the Virginalls and Bass-Viol. The virginals (or virginal — both connote a singular noun) was a keyboard instrument popular at the time, and an early treatise explained that it was so named “because, like a virgin, it sounds with a gentle and undisturbed voice.” The idea fit in nicely with that of the partheneia of ancient Greece, a dancing chorus of

youths, mostly girls, usually virgins. “Parthenia became one of the metaphors for Queen Elizabeth, creating her whole image as something virginal and unearthly,” Lipnik said. The linking of the viol with the virginals inevitably led to an increase in the viol’s prestige, and playing the viol became a mark of culture. “He plays o’ the viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature,” proclaims Sir Toby Belch admiringly of Sir Andrew Aguecheek, in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Viols may have originated in Italy and flourished all around Europe, but it was in England that they became supremely popular as ensemble instruments. Parthenia is formulated along the lines of the so-called “consort of viols” cultivated in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. The group normally plays on a combination of treble viol, two tenor viols, and bass viol. In Thomas Middleton’s comedy A Trick to Catch the Old One, published in 1608, the usurer Onesiphorus Hoard describes his marriageable niece with a lusty double-entendre characteristic of the time: “She now remains at London with my brother, her second uncle, to learn fashions, practise music. The voice between her lips and the viol between her legs, she’ll be fit for a consort very speedily.”

English composers produced a large repertoire for consort of viols.

Parthenia’s program includes pieces by no fewer than 10 composers, some represented by multiple works. A few of the pieces the audience will hear were conceived as purely instrumental numbers — fantasies by William Byrd and John Jenkins, dances by Anthony Holborne — but the rest represent the intersection of vocal and instrumental composition. The group’s printed program states, “In the Elizabethan world, poetry and music were inseparable; poetry was conceived as song and music took its forms and phrasing from poetry.” This happened in a literal sense. A crucial moment in the history of the consort of viols is spelled out in the “Epistle to the Reader” that Byrd placed at the front of his 1588 collection Psalms, Sonnets and Songs of Sadness and Pietie: “If thou delight in music of great compass, here are divers songs being originally made for instruments to express the harmony, and one voice to pronounce the ditty.” Indeed they were “originally made.”

Byrd’s collection marked the birth of the consort song, in which a solo singer is accompanied by a consort of viols. Whereas the Italians had cultivated the art of the madrigal, a polyphonic piece for a small group of singers, Byrd’s were the first pieces in which all but one of the vocal lines were explicitly assigned to instruments. From that point forward, English composers would also produce reams of madrigals in addition to consort songs, but they characteristically noted that their madrigals might be performed by a combination of voices and viols. From this crossroad of genres come many of the pieces featured on this program, including selections by the madrigalist Francis Pilkington and the lutenist-songwriter John Dowland.

“Viol consorts emerged in England at time when poetry was also coming into its own,” Lipnik observed. That coincidence led Parthenia to construct this program in which consort songs and instrumentally conceived violconsort music alternate with recited poetry. The group hooked up with Hecht several years ago through a mutual connection, a singer who had collaborated with Parthenia in a contemporary piece and with whom Hecht had worked in a Purcell masque. Hecht, who was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Featured Actor for his portrayal of The Player in the 1968 Broadway production of Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, is a devoted music lover, and he shared the ensemble’s interest in how music and poetry were joined at the hip in centuries past. A friendship was born, and he has now performed in several collaborations with Parthenia, in every case exploring the shared rhetoric of music and poetry.

“In this program,” said Lipnik, “music and poetry weave together to create an abstract metaphysical reality. Readings from Shakespeare and Donne are interspersed between musical numbers, almost like cabaret.” ◀

TERRELL’S TUNE-UP Steve Terrell

Celestial chromaesthesia Once again The Black Angels prove that a band can play psychedelic music without sounding campy or even all that retro. Granted, on its new album, Indigo Meadow, the Austin band certainly employs some sonic tricks from the psychedelic era: lots of reverb, lots of fuzz, some Mideastern/ East Indian-sounding guitar licks and melody lines here and there, creepy electric organ — and in a couple of places you’ll hear that electric jug sound pioneered by the Angels’ Texas forebears, The 13th Floor Elevators.

The band’s music is strong enough that it doesn’t seem defined by these musical embellishments. It’s fresh and powerful. It seems like a logical progression from the psychedelia of yore, not some cute re-creation — even though the band does have a song with the unfortunate title “I Hear Colors.”

Like the group’s previous album, Phosphene Dream, on which the Angels moved away from 16-minute astral odysseys, Indigo Meadow puts more emphasis on melody and has shorter and punchier tunes than those found in the band’s early work. Indeed, the longest song here is shorter than the shortest song on the Angels’ 2008 album Directions to See a Ghost. But if anything, Indigo Meadow seems heavier and more hard-rocking than Phosphene Dream. For instance, the fuzz-drenched guitar riff that starts off “Evil Things” could aptly be described as “Led Sabbath.”

On the title song, Stephanie Bailey’s thunder drums and a tense, repetitive guitar riff — almost suggesting the soundtrack of the shower scene in Psycho — set the mood before singer Alex Maas begins what isn’t exactly a tender tune of love:

The Black Angels’ music is fresh and powerful. It seems like a logical progression from the psychedelia of yore, not some cute re-creation.

“Lay your hands across my chest, girl/You’ve been a problem since the moment I met ya/You always cause a real friction/Put your pale hands on my face, my love.”

Fractured romantic tension is one of the underlying themes of Indigo Meadow. True, the hopped-up, electro-poppy “You’re Mine” sounds like the singer has a bad case of schoolboy puppy love, but other songs show the darker side of love. On “Holland,” one of the more mellow tunes on the album, Maas sings, “I’d rather die than to be with you tonight.” In the refrain of “Love Me Forever,” as Maas repeats the song’s title, it sounds more like a command of a megalomaniac than the plea of a lover.

And an undercurrent of misogyny seems to creep into one of band’s attempts at a timely topical tune, “Don’t Play With Guns.” This is the Black Angels, so it’s not going to be your typical protest number. It’s about a young woman who manipulates people to “kill for fun” for her.

“Now Angie she was a demon/She had six arms and Lucifer eyes/She always had this glow.”

Some of the best songs here are those on which the Angels seem to be having fun. “The Day” sounds like some forgotten Yardbirds tune.

“Twisted Light” is nice and trippy, showing off Bailey’s heavy-fisted drums. And even though I made fun of the title, “I Hear Colors” (subtitled Chromaesthesia) is a wild stomper with crazy organ (it would make Ray Manzarek proud) and a theremin exploring the colors of sound.

I’ve always felt that psychedelic rock withered too soon back in the late ’60s. Attempts at a revival in subsequent decades have fallen flat, usually devolving into fey self-parody. But The Black Angels are one of the few bands that didn’t forget the “rock” part of psychedelic rock. Long may they fly. Feed your head at www.theblackangels.com.

Bowers & Wilkins Society of Sound, a service for audiophiles set up by a British company that manufactures stereo and home-theater speakers.

Although I’m familiar with almost all of the songs on the CD, I’m glad the album is available for us plebeians. The live tracks are especially full of the kind of the wild energy that you expect in a Dengue Fever show. (The band played in Santa Fe at least three times in recent years. I’ve caught them twice and would go again.)

A little Dengue 101 for the newcomers: the group was the brainchild of Zac and Ethan Holtzman, California brothers who were huge fans of late ’60s/early ’70s Cambodian rock ’n’ roll. This was a crazy sound that was heavily influenced by American surf, psychedelic, garage, and soul music. Cambodian rock was basically destroyed — as was much of Cambodian civilization — by the evil Khmer Rouge regime in the late ’70s. The Holtzman boys and their pals got down the instrumental component of this brand of rock, but Dengue Fever didn’t really blossom until it hired Cambodian-born singer Chhom Nimol, from a family well known in Cambodian music circles.

The band’s first three studio albums are well represented. (The fourth, Cannibal Courtship, was released after Ley Lines was recorded.) There are rousing versions of “New Year’s Eve” and “Hold My Hips” from the group’s 2003 self-titled debut album, a nice spooky rendition of “One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula,” which was a highlight of Dengue’s breakthrough album Escape From Dragon House, and two duets with Nimol and Zac Holtzman that first appeared on the third album, Venus on Earth. These are “Tiger Phone Card” and “Sober Driver,” which sounds slinkier and sexier here than it did in its original form.

While all the songs on this lost album have appeared elsewhere before, a couple may be new to casual fans because they were available only on deluxe versions of Dengue albums. “The Province” is one of those slow, pretty mysterioso tunes the band does so well. But I prefer “Doo Wop (Today I Learnt to Drink),” a rocking little tune originally done by Cambodian star Ros Serey Sothea. She disappeared during the reign of Pol Pot, but thanks to Nimol, her song lives on.

Excavating Achilles: Following Homer’s Hero Through the Ages Author Madeline Miller reads from her 2012 Orange Prize-winning novel, The Song of Achilles, and explores the stories that are at the heart of its creation. Swift-footed and ill-fated, Achilles has proven to be one of Homer’s most enduring creations. Miller traces his development from ancient Mycenaean times through today, revealing how she constructed her own version of the great hero in her novel and how she reconstructed Homer’s poetic world.

“The Song of Achilles is at once a scholar’s homage to The Iliad and a startlingly original work of art by an incredibly talented new novelist. Madeline Miller has given us her own fresh take on the Trojan War and its heroes. The result is a book I could not put down.”

An exhibition of mystic and bona fide cowboys

V

isible in many photos of Barack Obama’s office is a cowboy — Frederic Remington’s sculpture The Bronco Buster, situated on a small table near the presidential desk. “That,” said B. Byron Price, director of the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West at the University of Oklahoma, “is a fair indication of the stature of the cowboy today.”

According to Price, the cowboy — and the cowgirl for that matter — is still out there: riding the range, roping steer, and moving cattle to market, even if by pickup truck or railroad car. Price is guest curator of the New Mexico History Museum’s exhibition Cowboys Real and Imagined, which opens Sunday, April 14, and runs for 11 months. Price delivers an opening-day lecture at the museum.

The cowboy has long been an integral character in the mythology of both the American West and the United States as a whole. In the late-19th and early-20th century, cinema, radio, advertising, and publications — primarily dime novels and later comics — hijacked the working-class cowboy and turned him into a gun-toting superhero capable of righting wrongs on the range while warbling corny tunes or engaging in John Wayne-type acts of valor.

That image is still strong. A current T-Mobile commercial plays up the cowboy myth with a bunch of mean-looking hombres riding into a dusty trail town hellbent on causing trouble — until one of them displays true cowboy independence by breaking away from the rest in an effort to provide better mobile phone service.

Cowboys Real and Imagined features nearly 1,000 artifacts, including historical clothing, tools, saddles, blacksmith accouterments, chuck wagons, windmills, water tanks, and sombreros. The show also has more than 200 photographs, tintypes, and artistic renderings of the cowboy way of life. It follows the evolution of the old cowhand from his humble, hardworking roots to his status as a pop-culture hero. The exhibition makes room for radio commercials and musical jingles, advertising imagery (the Marlboro Man was a cowboy, remember), gaudy rodeo attire, and movie posters. “The cowboy has undergone a metamorphosis of image, and that is the theme of this show,” Price said by phone from his office in Oklahoma.

“The show covers the origins of the cowboy hero and how he has been utilized for every purpose from politics to advertising. continued on Page 34

“It looks at how the cowboy represents cultural traits that always had two sides — the less-than-savory side that grew out of the dime novels and the earliest portrayals of the cowboy in literature. That reputation was resurrected and transformed by several folks, including President Theodore Roosevelt, Frederic Remington, [author] Owen Wister, and William F. Cody — Buffalo Bill — who cast the cowboy in a variety of positive lights and redeemed the ... violent, uncouth images ... in press reports — including The Santa Fe New Mexican. Those negative portrayals were transformed in the hands of these very skillful patrician Easterners — except for Cody — into a more heroic view of American masculinity and Americans in general.”

Remington (1861-1909) was a New York-born artist whose works generally depicted life in the West as rugged, dangerous, and honorable and that often featured the cowboy and his horse as the main protagonists. Wister (1860-1938) was a Pennsylvania-born author whose most famous work is the 1902 novel The Virginian, about a morally upstanding ranch foreman whose sense of right never fails him as he faces cattle rustlers and betrayal by his best friend.

New York native Roosevelt admired the cowboy and fashioned his famous Rough Riders cavalry unit after the cowboy image during the Spanish-American War. All three Easterners championed the cowboy as the embodiment of American independence, confidence, and morality. Buffalo Bill, of course, theatricalized that image in his popular Wild West shows, which began in the 1880s and ran into the early 20th century. The cowboy was always a superman in these shows, easily routing bandits and hostile Indians as he saved the damsel in distress, usually in a grand spectacle of horsemanship, stage combat, and gunfire.

Not long afterward, cinema embraced and exaggerated the cowboy image. Actor and rodeo star Tom Mix made a number of short silent Westerns, many shot in New Mexico, featuring the cowboy as the always-intelligent, good-humored star of the hour, every hour.

“Certainly the movies hammered home the image to a great degree and helped solidify it in the 20th century,” Price said. “Buffalo Bill got it started, but films gave the image a real hold onto the culture.”

While the cowboy myth was gaining momentum, the Industrial Revolution was gearing up. “All of this coincided with the rise of America in world affairs,” Price said. “The power really came from the fact that everybody from workers — and the cowboy was first and foremost a worker — to people in the high strata of society could find something to like in the cowboy. If you put on the garb — and this holds today — you can participate in the myth.

“And that’s the beauty of the myth. It’s one of the reasons it has such broad appeal. You have the working person and the heroic cowboy actor all rolled into one.”

Interestingly and quite appropriately, few of the photographic images of cowboys in the exhibition show them wearing six-guns — a literary and cinematic contrivance. “There were actually laws that prohibited cowboys from carrying sidearms; cattle outfits prohibited it,” Price said. “There was very little reason for cowboys to carry sidearms on the job. Many did have them in their bedrolls … but the vast majority went about their business unarmed.

Price noted that the West was populated by Mexican cowboys (vaqueros), African American cowboys, Native American cowboys, British cowboys, and guys from New York and other points east who had migrated out this-away. Women played a role too. “Women were very much doing the work of men from the beginning, although there were cultural restrictions that were imposed on women in the concept of what they were supposed to do and be in the 19th century. It was

probably harder for women to adopt that sort of role and still operate in polite society, if you will.”

One of those women was Fern Sawyer (1917-1993), a New Mexico cowgirl and rodeo star who was renowned for her flashy attire, including, some say, items fashioned by Frederick’s of Hollywood.

“She was the whole package,” Price noted. (One of Sawyer’s cherry red outfits is included in the exhibition.)

The show focuses on New Mexico’s cowboy tradition, which Price said “can stand with any of them. It’s still a strong tradition that is constantly changing.”

Incidentally, Price does admire a few film Westerns — mostly from the past 50 years — that paint a somewhat realistic view of the cowboy way of life, including 1962’s Lonely Are the Brave (shot in New Mexico), 1968’s Will Penny, and 1972’s The Cowboys, which stars John Ford and was also shot in New Mexico.

Asked if most people still think of Wayne when the term cowboy comes up, Price laughed and said, “Absolutely.” But he said that Wayne quickly learned how to handle a horse and a gun (albeit a prop one) on screen. “Just watch him ride in The Searchers [1956]. He knew what he was doing.”

Price acknowledged that trying to throw a lasso over the definition of cowboy is pretty difficult. But he said people worldwide are still

fascinated by the image, so somewhere along the way, somebody must have done something right when it came to perpetuating that image.

But ultimately, was the myth-making good or bad for the cowboy and the nation? “It is what it is,” Price said. “It’s neither good or bad in itself. But it gave an identity to a nation that was struggling to find an identity.”

And he’s not too worried about potential extinction for the cowboy way of life. “We still have working cowboys who work for wages,” he said. Cowboy poet Baxter Black said, ‘They’re out there. You just can’t see them from the highway.’ I’m pretty positive they’re always going to be out there.” ◀

James M. Keller I The New Mexican

AUTHOR BART PLANTENGA ON VIRTUOSO VOCALISTS

YOU MAY THINK YOU DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YODELING,

but until you start working your way through Bart Plantenga’s latest book, Yodel in Hi-Fi, you are likely to underestimate the sheer magnitude of your ignorance — even assuming that you have already read his first tome on the subject, Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo, which you probably did when it appeared in 2003. Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo was subtitled The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World, and since the Utne Reader hailed it as “one of the most complete studies of any subject ever,” you most likely reached its last page and figured the topic was pretty much exhausted. That’s what Plantenga thought, too. But his book had been out not even a day, he said, when an acquaintance approached him on a subway platform to alert him to a oncefamous yodeler named Olivio Santoro, hitherto unknown to the author. “I knew my completism had not been completed and every subsequent day brought me a new yodeler, shoving me toward yet another reason to write Yodel in Hi-Fi,” Plantenga explains in his preface, by way of justification.

And so, the very first yodeler profile in Yodel in Hi-Fi is appropriately about Olivio Santoro (b. 1928), “the guitar-playing ‘Boy Yodeler’ [who] hosted his own syndicated Mutual radio show in the late 1930s, the Hartz Pet Food Half Hour, a variety show that featured Santoro’s yodeling and other acts, like singing canaries, between pet food commercials.” He published a pamphlet on yodeling that offered this sage advice: “When you’re happy, yodel!

When you’re sad, yodel and get happy!” “But then,” Plantenga writes, “World War II broke out, and along with it came heightened security and increased paranoia. His show was canceled in 1943, purportedly because some thought he might well be secretly communicating with Nazi sympathizers — via his yodeling!” He drifted off into obscurity, where one hopes he derived consolation from his art. antoro’s is one of dozens of thumbnail biographies that pepper Yodel in Hi-Fi. This book, too, has a subtitle, as all serious studies must: in this case, From Kitsch Folk to Contemporary Electronica, which speaks to the catholicity of Plantenga’s embrace. As he puts it, the book “includes the theoretical, the genesis from ululation to howl to holler and yodel, the out-of-Africa evolution of yodeling (and mankind itself), black yodeling from Africa to North America and elsewhere, U.S. yodeling, the religious and political sides of yodeling, cinematic yodeling, and Swiss yodeling, which many believe is the only genuine yodeling (but we know better).” Plantenga works through all that with an awareness of enthnomusicological principles that directs his thinking and listening, and then, blessedly, he passes it on to his readers shorn of the jargon that might render it all but incomprehensible to people less committed than he is.

Indeed, the marvel of his book, rich in bite-sized lists and timelines, is that it is defiantly and proudly unacademic.

Plantenga is not a professor; he’s a Dutch radio DJ who, over the years, has included a surprising amount of yodeling in his playlists. What really excites him about yodeling is hearing it, sharing it, noting the variety of how it is accomplished, discovering how practitioners invest it with a personal stamp, and finding that it is a living phenomenon rather than just a historic relic. He delights in discovering the individuality expressed through this ululation, this rapid alternation of vocal registers born of a twitch of the epiglottis.

He is a man obsessed with this sound, which he describes as “unique and yet universal, marginal yet ubiquitous.”He seems to encounter yodeling practically wherever he roams, but here’s the tragedy of it all: he is unable to yodel. Probably a certain amount of irony is part of the bargain for anyone who chooses to devote his life to studying and promoting yodeling, but this does seem a cruel fate.

Off he goes nonetheless, undaunted by his personal handicap, braving the wilds of America’s dairyland to

HOW TO YODEL hard palate soft palate

While yodeling is a strange and mystifying art that amazes those who hear it, you can learn to yodel. ... With a little practice you can then amaze your friends with genuine Swiss, Alpine, Western, and all other yodels.

uvula vestibule

The two Secrets of Yodelling 1 Instead of words, you use sound, like“oo” “ay” “ee” “ah ”etc.

2 Instead of a“tune,” you just skip back and forth from“chest tones”to your“falsetto voice”... or, in plain words, from your“regular voice”to a“high voice.”

Folks, yodelling is fun! Long before people knew any words, they expressed their happiness by yodelling. When you’re happy, yodel! When you’re sad, yodel and get happy! Come on, everybody ... yodel along with me!

cricoid cartilage

Let’s try it!

The best way to learn yodelling is to begin with words that sound like yodelling. Let’s begin with my own name, O-Livi-O. Say it out loud: “O-LI-VEE-O.” Hear that? You’re beginning to yodel already! Repeat“O-LI-VEE-O”several times, so you get used to it.

NOW ... instead of just SAYING“O-LI-VEE-O,” SING it, by raising your voice when you come to“VEE.” Like this: O-LI-VEE-O. Now you are really yodelling!

peer at the vocal mechanics of Ernie Jaggi at the New Glarus Hotel, “with its American, Swiss, and Wisconsin flags flying outside,” or casting a not uncritical eye on the pluses and minuses of the Eidgenössischer Jodler Verband (Swiss Yodeler Federation) festival across the sea in the motherland. Such interesting people he unearths, in person or through research.

Possibly you had forgotten about Peter Hinnen (b. 1941), who, following a meteoric rise from his position as house yodeler in the Kindli Restaurant in Zurich, “confirmed his global status as the Jodelkönig, entering the Guinness Book of World Records by yodeling twenty-two tones in a single second.”

Where could one go from there? “After his furious, youthful brush with worldwide fame,” Plantenga discloses, “he withdrew to a more humble existence as a nurse, making only periodic, modest comebacks.”

Although Plantenga admits to a “tendency to champion the less fortunate, the infamous, the unphotogenic,” he does alight on a number of yodelers who are more generally famous. For example, Mary Schneider, the Australian artiste whose CD Yodelling the Classics presented Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik as Mozart never imagined it, along with epiglotically enriched interpretations of the Skater’s Waltz, the Brahms Lullaby, and Semper Fidelis. (“At the Berlin opera house, some years back, she leaped out of a cake dressed in a gold dress while yodeling and then repeated it on German TV.”) Or Johnny Weissmuller, who is portrayed in Cuba in 1959 “driving a car full of friends to a celebrity golf tournament in Havana when they’re ambushed

by Fidel Castro’s rebels”; he “stands up, beats his chest, and belts out his famous Tarzan yodel,” thereby transforming the stunned rebels into fawning continued on Page 39

Like so many others, UteWassermann, a German extended vocalist, communicates with birds, fauna, and ETs in outer space, utilizing a broad palette of voices and overdubs that include throat clearing, birdcalls, throat tremolo, frog burps, operatic bravura, tongue-wagging, crackles, harmonics, and yodels that harken back to primal roots but also a distant future already inhabited by Greetje Bijma and Meredith Monk and company. — Bart Plantenga

All you need to do to learn more yodels is to do exactly like we did with my name,“OLIVIO.” Try it with my friend’s name:“Rodeo Ray.” Say“Ro-deo-Ray.” Now sing it by raising your voice when you come to“de”and“ray.” Like this: Ro-de-o-ray That’s “double”or“fancy”yodelling. See ... you’re already an expert!

Now try these Yodels Do just what you did with“O-LIVI-O”and“RODEO RAY.” First, SAY the sentence over several times, then“sing” it by raising your voice at the part that has a line under it.

1 I doodle all a day away.

3 Rodeo Ray rode to Rollay today.

I doo-dle all a day a-way.

Rodeo Ray rode to Rol-lay to-day.

2 Who raided all de raided hay?

4 I know Lee, a lady.

Who ray-ded all de ray-ded hay?

I know Lee, a lay-dee. ...

Make your own Yodels Make a yodel with your own name in it! Then when you call to your friends, they will know who is calling. It will be your own private “theme yodel,” just like I have my “theme yodel” on the radio. It’s easy. Just begin with your name, then add yodelling sounds to it to suit yourself. ...

Start with BILLY then add YO-BILLY-YO-LO-HO and“sing”it this way: YO-BILL-LEE-YO-LO-HO ... Start with BETTY then add OLEO BETTY ETTY ETTY AY and“sing”it O-LEE-O-BET-TY ETTY ETTY AY — from How to Yodel

Bart Plantenga seems to encounter yodeling practically wherever he roams, but here’s the tragedy of it all: he is unable to yodel. Probably a certain amount of irony is part of the bargain for anyone who chooses to devote his life to studying and promoting yodeling, but this does seem a cruel fate.

Yodeling, continued from Page 37 fans. Or Wally (Mr. Peepers) Cox, longtime best friend of Marlon Brando; Cox apparently offers “noble, tremulous yodeling on three tunes” in the 1970 film Seduction of a Nerd, which, Plantenga writes, “is sometimes called ‘The Citizen Kane of Yodeling Porn.” Indeed, the author seems to be in a position to judge these things, as he devotes several pages to films of a highly specialized sexual propensity, such as Unterm Dirndl wird gejodelt (They Yodel Under Those Dirndls) and Beim Jodeln juckt die Lederhose (Yodeling Makes Your Lederhosen Itch).

One can only be amazed by the amount of yodeling that is going on without some of us noticing it. Yodeling uncool? Plantenga thinks not.

Performance artists in New York and Berlin seem unable to do without it. It’s hard to argue when he puts it this way: “Like so many others, Ute Wassermann, a German extended vocalist, communicates with birds, fauna, and ETs in outer space, utilizing a broad palette of voices and overdubs that include throat clearing, birdcalls, throat tremolo, frog burps, operatic bravura, tongue-wagging, crackles, harmonics, and yodels that harken back to primal roots but also a distant future already inhabited by Greetje Bijma and Meredith Monk and company.” here seems to be no landmass where yodeling is not alive and flourishing apart from Antarctica. We in Santa Fe are promised a taste in the show Cowboys: Real and Imagined, opening on Sunday, April 14, and staying put for 11 months at the New Mexico History Museum; it vows to include a dose of cowboy yodeling in the mix. But who knew about Cliff Ledger, the Yodeling Cowboy of Northern Ireland, or Tex Morton, the “Legendary Aussi-KiwiCowboy”? Not to mention Bobby Klein, the “Lowland Cowboy Yodeler” of Holland, renowned for his memorable galloping yodel “Jodelehi-lehihiti/Jodelehitie-de-li-hi-i-tie, jodelehi-le-hihiti/Joeghie”?

An entire chapter is devoted to the yodelers of Asia, including not just the obvious throat singers of Tuva but also greatly unanticipated stars of India (Kishore Kumar, who introduced his jazz-scat-yodel style to Bollywood), South Korea (where some 3,000 yodelers participate in numerous yodeling clubs), and Japan (where, Plantenga is told, seven people currently earn their living as yodelers of Alpine, cowboy, or show-tune style).

Some interesting episodes delve into intersections of yodeling and politics.

Plantenga traces a line in German history from the Wandervogel, a back-tonature network of proto-hippies who yodeled around campfires during the World War I era, through the 1930s, when the Nazis essentially transferred the group’s membership to the Hitlerjugend, where they encouraged yodeling because it was considered so Germanic. Plantenga finds that yodeling has even played a seminal role in American politics in our own time. In fact, one of the things that inspired him toward writing Yodel in Hi-Fi was that Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo was reaching bookstores just as a transformative moment occurred at the Iowa Caucus, on Jan. 19, 2004. It was a yodel manqué produced from the depths of Democratic hopeful Howard Dean, a sound the Boston Globe described as “part growl, part yodel.” Plantenga, being a connoisseur of such things, puts a finer point on it: “It sounded more like a mule being inspected for venereal disease.” Being personally yodel-deprived, Plantenga maybe should not come down so hard on the techniques of others. But still, he muses, “One can only wonder: What if it had been a real yodel?” ◀

abstracted landscapes favor form and color over detail. His gestural brushwork captures clouds, trees, and distant mountains with deftness. Flat abstract marks come together in compositions that convey a feeling of stillness and serenity. Flashes of color jump out here and there. Many images have architectural components, such as houses that follow the contour of hills and lean slightly one way or the other, old chapels, and Spanish missions weathered by time. “In my earlier work, the architectural subjects are sometimes distressed, deserted, and melancholy,” Greene told Pasatiempo. “When I was in grade school there used to be this old estate with mansions and old buildings, an overgrown landscape, and I used to cut through there on my way to school. That influenced me quite a bit. I’m a little more concerned with color now than I ever have been. It used to be that I was mostly concerned with design and drawing. While those things are important, I think color is right up there with those two. So I’m working in that direction. So far, the reception has been great.”

Michael Abatemarco I The New Mexican

Greene acres An exhibition of Greene’s work opened on April 5 at Manitou Galleries’ downtown location. The show also features work by Fran Larsen. The two artists employ distinctive styles to render similar subjects. Larsen’s work is dominated by vibrant hues that contrast with Greene’s more naturalistic palette. “The architectural subject gives me a point of reference where I can stick in some color that’s still realistic,” Greene said.

“I just can’t bring myself to say I’m going to make the tree red or the lake red. I might get there someday, but I’m not saying that’s progress.”

Greene’s work recalls that of Fairfield Porter, who continued to engage in representational forms even while his New York contemporaries, such as Jackson Pollock, were steeped in Abstract Expressionism. “Fairfield Porter was out there on Long Island, too, but he was painting the things around him. He was painting his neighborhood. When I got finished with these paintings I said, ‘This kind of looks like Fairfield Porter.’ ” Some of Greene’s work has a similar, impressionistic feel. “I’m not afraid of looking like someone else. But Porter was not a conscious influence. I wasn’t thinking about anybody, really. I was just concerned with what I saw around me. I’m pretty much concerned with light and shadow. That way, I guess, it becomes a little bit more abstract. You’ve got the looser forms of the landscape. You’ve got verticals. You’ve got trees and grasses — those things that float with the wind. Then you have the contrast of the solid rectangular mass of the architectural features.”

Greene credits Italian frescoes as an influence after making several trips to Florence to look at the work of Renaissance painters. “I got a pretty good feeling for the frescoes in Florence. I like the surface quality, the matte quality of them. I was fascinated with the technique. I did consider staying in Europe for a while to study the frescoes and learn a little bit about restoration. I came away a little jaded. These guys were commercial artists. They painted the same old story over and over again in the same tired old way. If you study some of the works, like I did in the Uffizi especially, sometimes they made the same foot or the same hand in a number of paintings. It was great stuff, though. The craftsmanship was really terrific. There was a biographer named Selden Rodman. I remember him saying that painting was only craftsmanship after everything was said

and done. I read that about 20 years ago, and I still roll it over in my mind, because I think it’s a little bit more than that.”

Greene’s paintings contrast bright greens and yellows with more subdued earth tones, striking reds and purples. The occasional use of a darker color to outline a form — a stand of trees or a low-lying bush — makes them pop. Shadows weave through compositions in an abstract pattern of light and dark areas. There is nothing allegorical in Greene’s work, only quiet moments that convey a sense of warmth and sunny days in idyllic spring and summer settings. The architectural elements are never quite angular, never entirely straight, but rendered as loose, rough geometric forms: slanting roofs, squat adobe walls. “Sometimes I think to myself it’s not really the subject matter that matters to me. I’m not worried about narrative. It’s just how you get the paint on. I like the gesture, I like

the color, and I like the marks. I think that’s what makes a painting. I don’t care what the subject is. I’ve stepped away from impressionism a little bit.

I think an artist has got to follow his instincts. I think he’s obligated to, for better or for worse. That’s part of what it’s all about. So you can’t be afraid to go there if you have this pull.” ◀

Road yet taken Singer Tracy Grammer forges her own path

42

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

inger, violinist, guitarist, and reluctant songwriter Tracy Grammer will forever be associated with Dave Carter, the acclaimed singer-songwriter who in 2002, at the age of 49, died of a heart attack in her arms.

Together, Grammer and Carter had become a phenomenon on the folk circuit, performing Carter’s highly symbolic and quasi-mystical music in ways that suggested their deep devotion — not only to the music but also to each other. Though he’s been gone more than 10 years, Carter still inhabits a large part of Grammer’s artistic life. Her most recent album, 2012’s Little Blue Eggs, is a collection of previously unreleased material recorded during the duo’s five-year relationship.

“I feel like when I met Dave and started singing his music, I connected with something in myself that I hadn’t had access to before,” Grammer explained in a phone call from her home in Pennsylvania. “Spirituality — I didn’t know what to call it. But it was something deeper, something that resonated so strongly that I knew that I couldn’t stop doing this work and still feel whole. It felt right. It completed the picture.”

Grammer, who plays solo at Gig Performance Space on Friday, April 12, still performs much of Carter’s music. His presence is palpable when she sings, probably because the two were so close and because fans associate her voice and violin with his lyrics. And while Grammer has occasionally stepped away from Carter’s legacy, recording songs from others as well as her own material, fans can’t help wonder when she’ll stake out her own territory.

“People come up to me and say I should move on. From time to time I get the feeling that I should move on. But the truth is, I didn’t get into music by tooting my own horn. It’s never been about me being a great singer-songwriter. I took a big plunge into what I believed in when I started doing Dave’s music with him. And if I make a life of that now, I’d be OK with it.”

Grammer was born in Florida, but her family relocated to Orange County, California, when she was 3. She took up classical violin at 9. “No one ever had to ask me to practice,” she recalled. “I would just get lost with it and play for hours.” Her father played electric and lap steel guitar, and sometimes neighbor kids would come over to watch him play and sing Beatles songs as well as John Denver and Willie Nelson tunes. But she wasn’t exposed to much folk music. “I’m still embarrassed sometimes when people come up to me and start quoting some of these great folk songs. And I have to look at them with this blank stare because I don’t know them.”

While studying English literature at the University of California, Berkeley, Grammer was introduced to Curtis Coleman of the New Christy Minstrels.

“He was the first person with some musical credentials to listen to me sing and say, You could do this. I was amazed and didn’t believe it, but I was secretly wondering if he was right.” It was 1996 when she first met Carter, after his appearance at a songwriters’ showcase in her then home of Portland, Oregon. They recorded their first album, When I Go, in 1998. Grammer took a largely instrumental role, singing on only one number. Their next two recordings, Tanglewood Tree and Drum Hat Buddha, not only won them accolades as a duo but established their music, all written by Carter, as something new in the world of folk.

“When I started out with Dave, he was already taking the music to a completely different place. We didn’t know what we should call it. We thought we might call it Americana chamber music. We both had classical experience. It was country music with a little polish, a little shine. Folk music opened the door for us and let us in. The world embraced us as that [folk artists], so we started making ourselves right at home.”

Carter’s lyrics are unique in that he drew from a variety of sources for his imagery. ”Dave was a huge fan of [mythology scholar] Joseph Campbell, and he was always trying to write [into his lyrics] this larger mythological thing

that would resonate at a universal level, that would ring true to everyone’s experience.”

The two were asked to join Joan Baez’s spring tour in 2002, both as an opening act and as part of Baez’s backing ensemble. Baez also performed some of Carter’s material. It seemed the Carter-Grammer duo was on its way to big things. The two were often mysterious about their personal relationship, describing it as a “musical marriage.” Grammer has since said they were a romantic couple, though not without their share of complications. Then, after a July morning run, Carter came back complaining of chest pains. He was dead within hours.

Grammer takes exception to descriptions of the experience as tragic. “Yes, it was a big surprise to me. I was young. He was the first person that I was so close to to pass away. We were friends, business partners — together 24/7. It was very rough at first. But I don’t see it as a tragedy. It’s just life. There’s no changing it.”

What fans didn’t know at the time was that Carter was conflicted about his gender identity and was in the beginning stages of changing his sex. “He shared that revelation with me in 2000. ... That was a struggle. I feel like I mourned him twice. I had this fairy tale of getting married. He said he’d had these feeling since the eighth grade. What do you do with that?”

Grammer admitted the information was a shock but said the two were able to continue their relationship. “When I first heard about it, I was fascinated, then upset. I didn’t grow up in a community where I ever heard of such a thing. When he saw how upset I was, he said, Never mind. I love you too much to have something come between us. So we pretended as if nothing happened, and nobody was happy. Then he started to pursue it behind the scenes. At first, I didn’t know he was taking hormones on the Baez tour. In that period we had our sort of reconciliation. I think it was the night before he died that he said to me, You just need to be my friend and stop pushing and let it happen. I was glad we had that talk. We even had a whole plan for the unveiling. He was going to release one more manly ‘Cowboy Dave’ album, and I would introduce myself as a solo artist. Then he would go change and we would come back as an all-girl band, calling ourselves The Butterfly Conservatory. He would be she and that would be that.”

Grammer has dealt with Carter’s death by performing tributes and recording his music. But she also covers the works of other songwriters as well as performing a tune or two of her own, notably the title track from her 2004 release The Verdant Mile (written with frequent musical collaborator Jim Henry). Its chorus goes, “And so I walk this verdant mile/Of memory with you/The gentle arms of eden/And the mountains get me through.”

Grammer, sounding of two minds when it comes to original music, admitted that songwriting can be difficult for her. “I’m sort of lazy if it doesn’t come in shazam style, a thunderbolt of inspiration, and I have to work at it. It’s hard to sit still and write. To do that you have to focus and think. I’d rather sing great songs written by great writers than something mediocre that I wrote.”

She may have stumbled on a way to stay close to Carter’s legacy while cutting a path for herself at the same time. A songwriter acquaintance who saw one of her concerts, complete with all the storytelling it involves, suggested that she turn it into a stage show about her relationship to the songwriter.

“I’m attracted by the idea. I could pay tribute to Dave like I want to do and then also do something separate, try some new stuff like people want me to do. On the other hand, Dave’s music connects me to so much of myself. I can’t let it go, but at the same time, I want to move on.” ◀

hat a drag. When the all-male members of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo châiné and jeté their way onto the stage at the Lensic Performing Arts Center on Monday, April 15, they will be making their point known to audiences. Or, in their case, en pointe, in which the typically female ballet dancers support their full weight on the tips of their toes.

Since the troupe’s founding in New York in 1974, it still remains a surprise — and an uproarious delight — to see the Trocks, as the dancers are affectionately known, in tutus and tiaras, performing all the roles in a classical ballet. Princesses and swans, sylphs and evil stepsisters, witches and queens are all played by men.

And for those roles in which men are required, men there are.

“Soon after the Stonewall riots in New York [in 1969], there was a lot of drag culture in New York,” explained Tory Dobrin, the troupe’s artistic director, who began as a dancer with the company in 1980 and assumed his present role 20 years ago. “You’d see it in the clubs and bars, in off-Broadway theaters, and especially in productions by Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company. All of that coupled with defections by prominent Russian dancing stars like Rudolph Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov made for a dance boom. It seemed like the right time to form a dance company in which drag became one of the motifs.”

Les Ballets Trockadero, whose full name recalls the glamor of the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, was, and remains, an entirely unexpected dance step in the world of classical ballet. At the troupe’s inception, Dobrin said, there was little, if any, 44

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

precedent for its mission. He recalled reading that Nijinsky, the great dancer and choreographer with Diaghilev’s groundbreaking Ballets Russes, was able to perform on pointe, a feat that was unusual for male dancers in the early part of the 20th century. Dobrin also spoke of seeing a production of Nureyev’s Cinderella with the Paris Opera Ballet in which the diabolical stepsisters and stepmother were played by men dancing on pointe. “But what we do really was and still is original territory.”

The program in Santa Fe includes some of the troupe’s already iconic pieces.

Chopeniana, which uses Chopin nocturnes, valses, preludes, and mazurkas for the music, is billed as “an abstract classical ballet,” with suggestions of Giselle and La Sylphide, two dreamily Romantic ballets. Go for Barocco, a Bach-infused work, which the program notes says harks back to Balanchine’s famous “Middle-Blue-Verging-on Black-and-White Period,” is one of many dances that perfectly exemplify both the comedic and the inherent dancerly skill of the performers. Modern works are also part of the troupe’s repertoire, and one is set to be performed at the Lensic.

“In every performance, in every piece, we have the ballet and the comedy,” Dobrin said. In Barocco, audiences will laugh at the frenetic fuguelike frenzy on stage while also suddenly falling silent, in awe, of the dancers’ uncanny technical talent and understanding of their roles. The company is, after all, made up of dancers who have studied at and been members of the best dance institutions in the world — including Dance Theatre of Harlem and the official schools of American Ballet Theatre and the Joffrey Ballet, among others.

Indeed, to watch the dancers in their decidedly feminine garb and makeup, wigs and glitter, is to watch a drag spectacle that is meant to be funny and elicit laughter. The tall, rangy, muscular sylphs that need to be picked up by their male leads prove, sometimes, to be too heavy — which causes stumbles and falls.

Sudden onstage flirtations might arise between a male princess and his prince.

In some pieces, players suddenly switch from feminine roles to male ones and back, and delicate romantic gestures are often clumsily portrayed. “People come for the comedy — we know that and we like that and we are interested in being funny,” Dobrin said. “We have no problem with that at all. The problem would be if the audience didn’t laugh.”

Unlike established ballet and modern-dance troupes such as American Ballet Theatre, the Paul Taylor Dance Company, and New York City Ballet, Dobrin said that Les Ballets Trockadero has few official funding sources (New York’s Joyce Theater is a supporter, as is the Harkness Foundation for Dance).

However, he said 99 percent of the company’s income is earned. “We have to tour to make a living.” And kick up their heels they do — to date, the company has danced in some 35 countries and 500 cities (Santa Fe being a much-welcomed repeat destination).

Surprisingly, there has been very little resistance to the company. “In the early days, we had some picketers show up from right-wing areas of the country, but, otherwise, the response during these nearly 40 years has been very positive.”

Dobrin recalled performing in Grenada, Spain, on a stage in a garden. A group

of patrons came down from Madrid expecting to see a performance by what they thought was the more traditional company Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. “The moment they saw us come on stage and realized they were in the wrong place, they very nosily got up and left in the middle of a dance. But most of the women were wearing sequined dresses. And you can’t move very fast in sequins, so it took them awhile to get out of there.”

That will not happen in Santa Fe. “We’re meant to entertain everywhere we go,” Dobrin said. “Every performance in every city is about showcasing different kinds of dance, styles, the personalities on stage. In a two-hour show, we do a lot of different kinds of comedy. We want people to walk away saying, ‘I saw a lot of things on that stage.’ ” And for those audience members new to the Trocks, the show will keep them, along with the performers, on their toes. ◀

Paul Weideman I The New Mexican

or the past two decades, Tony Furtado has spent a lot of time on the road on the concert trail. Heck, he’s in the middle of a 17-gig loop of the West right now, all during April — including a stop at Garrett’s Desert Inn on Saturday, April 13. That kind of schedule would be grueling if Furtado didn’t love it. And all that stage time might be grueling for audiences if Furtado wasn’t so darn good at playing the guitar and banjo and singing.

“When I was a kid, if I wasn’t practicing my banjo, I was sculpting with clay, and I actually went to college as an art major fully intending to be a sculptor,” he said in an interview from his home in Portland, Oregon. “But after I started playing some gigs and feeling what it was like playing on stage and getting the crowd response ... there’s a big difference between that and showing someone a piece of sculpture you’ve worked on for a month and hearing them go, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’

“For me there’s definitely a deep I have more of a free thumb; it’s like a love for strong melodies, wellplayed music, and good lyrics, but free-thinking thumb because of the there’s also something about the energy of being on stage. You’re banjo playing I grew up doing, so playing the music and feeling the I’m able to get more intricate, more audience response, and that has an effect on how I play and what quick little melodies to pop in there.

I’m playing. It’s funny to hear about musicians, or see musicians, who do not like to converse with the audience or don’t feel it’s their duty to entertain the audience.”

A kick-start moment in his musical career happened a little more than 25 years ago, when he was a student at Cal State, Hayward. He entered the Grand National Banjo Championship in Kansas just for fun, and he won it. After five years of honing his chops, he brought out his debut record, Swamped, on the Rounder label. The album features several of his own compositions alongside traditional folk tunes like “John Henry” and “Golden Eagle Hornpipe,” a medley of Celtic 46

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

tunes, and a sprightly cover of Charlie Parker’s bebop gem “Blues for Alice.”

Since that time, he has made music with Laurie Lewis, Salamander Crossing, Alison Krauss, The String Cheese Incident, and Billy Ray Cyrus, to name a few.

And he’s a big fan of Bonnie Raitt and Ry Cooder.

The California-born Furtado boasts really splendid fingerpicking skills, often working up to a great, charging rhythm. “That’s probably because I grew up playing bluegrass banjo, so there’s that on-the-edge kind of playing. The thing about me with bluegrass is that it was something to do, to play the five-string banjo. I wasn’t sitting down and listening to bluegrass, but it was exciting and fun to play.

When I started focusing more on playing roots music and blues, the right-hand fingering actually popped into my guitar playing. So what ended up happening was this weird hybrid of Travis style [named for the late country musician Merle Travis] or blues picking with the alternating bass and playing the melody on top, but then I have more of a free thumb; it’s like a free-thinking thumb because of the banjo playing I grew up doing, so I’m able to get more intricate, more quick little melodies to pop in there.”

Besides the basic guitar — his baby is a pretty 1944 mahogany-topped Martin — and banjo, Furtado has been known to play mandolin, slide guitar, ukulele, accordion, and slide banjo. When he talked with Pasatiempo, he was getting ready to pack up his van and was thinking about bringing a couple of new instruments: a resophonic guitar equipped with a Bigsby whammy bar and a cello banjo he hoped to have fitted with a pickup before he left Portland.

Many guitarists know that a fine new instrument might tickle out some fresh juice from the well of creativity, and that’s a real phenomenon for Furtado.

“Totally,” he said. “The cello banjo is like an octave lower than a regular banjo, and it simplifies my approach and makes me think about melodies differently.

The second I started playing it, I’m coming up with stuff I’ve never come up with before. I have a little baritone ukulele that I sometimes bring on tour that does the same thing for me.”

He often wears a bottleneck on the little finger of his left hand, which gives him the option of playing slide or using his other digits for fingering, holding chords, and damping the strings. The thumb and first two fingers of his right hand are his picking machine. “I studied a tiny bit of classical guitar when I

Headache?

Hop springs eternal: sculpture by Tony Furtado

If medical doctors, alternative practitioners, tests, and MRIs have not helped cure your headaches, the headaches may actually be caused by your jaw.

Here‛s a simple test you can do: place your little finger into your ear, and push firmly forward, toward your eye. Open and close your jaw while continuing to push with your finger. Does this make your jaw or ear hurt? Does it change how your mouth opens? Does it cause noises in front of your ears?

If your answer is yes to any of these questions, call us for an appointment.

Jaw problems are a common cause of headaches, and we can help most people get rid of the pain. Visit SantaFeTMJcom. &

505-474-4644 was a kid to aid my banjo playing, and that definitely helped with my technique, but it never enticed me to bring the ring finger in to pick.”

Classical and flamenco guitarists typically use the thumb and at least three fingers for picking.

Furtado employs open guitar tunings, which yield chords when the strings are played open or with a finger across the frets, but doesn’t use the left thumb for fingering. “No, I’ve never felt comfortable with that. Some banjo players do that to get certain patterns going, but I think I get confused when I get the thumb in there. If I’m in standard tuning, I might wrap the thumb around to get the F-sharp note on a D chord, but that’s about it.”

He makes his own bottleneck slides from wine-bottle necks and sells them on his website, where he also sells copies of his Tony Furtado’s Guitar Book and two volumes of his Tony Furtado’s Book of Banjo Tunes.

He also sculpts meerkats and rabbits. “And elephants. I’m taking three big elephants on tour, because in Carbondale, Colorado, I’m having my first fineart gallery opening, at the White Dog Gallery.” He works in clay, then coats his figures with a material he creates using plaster, acrylic, and metal dust.

For Furtado’s 16th album, Live at Mississippi Studios, released about a year ago, he tapped material from two live sets at Portland’s Mississippi Studios performance venue. The show was recorded and mixed by 8 Ball Studio in Portland; filmed by the Portland collective Devious Goldfish; and produced through Kickstarter, an online, community-based funding mechanism.

He’s still touring Live at Mississippi Studios, but people in Santa Fe will hear other material as well. “I always dig back. Every show’s different.” ◀

opening this week DEVI (THE GODDESS) This is the shortest of Satyajit Ray’s feature films but one that’s densely packed with some of his most haunting imagery and profound ideas.

Tensions mount after a rich but provincial Bengali landowner has a vision that his lovely new daughterin-law is a reincarnation of the Hindu goddess Kali.

She’s too naive and dutiful to contradict him, especially with her progressive-minded husband away finishing his studies in Calcutta. The seeds are sown for a monumental clash between generations, as the son will soundly reject his father’s religious fanaticism, with tragic consequences.

VIOLETA WENT TO HEAVEN Named best drama in the World Cinema competition at Sundance, this unconventional biography of Chilean folk singer, artist, and social activist Violeta Parra seeks to characterize her life through the prism of her work. The storyline consists of impressionistic vignettes rather than a linear progression. The intent is to distill what Parra was like, not only as an uncompromising artist but also as a tormented soul, wrestling with a host of personal demons as well as her country’s tumultuous politics.

now in theaters ADMISSION This is not strictly a rom-com, though it’s romantic and intermittently funny. The plot, obscured in televised promos, is about a woman (Tina Fey) in mid-life coming to terms with the ways in which her childhood affected the choices she made later.

Unfortunately, Admission’s tone is unfocused, and Fey isn’t quite able to pull the audience along emotionally.

Scenes with her mother, however, played effectively

(Not reviewed) EVIL DEAD The 1981 horror flick Evil Dead, about a group of teenagers who stumble upon demons in a remote cabin, is one of the most beloved of cult films. This remake is punishing in the way that all modern horror films are: it’s loud, harshly lit, and relentlessly grim, and it puts its characters through a gauntlet of abuse and self-immolation. The film is a test of endurance, which is not the same thing as being scary — but it’s also not the same thing as being bad. The remake portrays violence, the supernatural, and an over-the-top level of gore — this may be the most fake blood seen on-screen since Kubrick’s elevators in The Shining — in a madcap, almost Looney Tunes way. The charisma of original star Bruce Campbell is missed (he produces, along with Sam Raimi, director of the 1981 film), but the movie does what it intends — particularly in the suspenseful, gross, cathartic climax.

Do they work on a moral level? Do they work on a practical level? Do they make things better? Or do they make things worse? Israeli cinematographerturned-director Dror Moreh makes a powerful case

that the answer to the first three questions is mostly no. He interviews six former heads of Shin Bet, the Israeli antiterrorism security agency. Each expresses the conviction that the process of brutalizing a hostile occupied enemy is both immoral and counterproductive.

The plot places Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, RZA, and others in what has to be the stupidest world-domination narrative ever committed to a spring-release action film. A complete lack of dramatic development, an attention-deficitdisorder editing approach, and a bloodless body count that is outgunned by Johnson’s herculean biceps make the $135 million Retaliation a soldier you’ll be glad to leave behind.

Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), a rebel human, is captured and implanted with a Soul named Wanderer, but she fights back and convinces Wanderer to help her find her brother (Chandler Canterbury), her uncle (William Hurt), and the scruffy young man she loves (Max Irons). Writerdirector Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) strips away almost everything suspenseful about the book and delivers instead a slogging drama with an emo soundtrack and a special-effects budget of about $10. Ronan’s talents are wasted trying to look natural while Melanie goofily carries on conversations with Wanderer in voice-over, and the film isn’t even engaging enough to be campily funny.

A young student (Rin Takanashi) working her way through college as a call girl is hired for the evening by an elderly retired professor (Tadashi Okuno). Kiarostami is fascinated by the duality of seeming and being, truth and lies, old and new, East and West. Lives intersect in unpredictable ways, and deceptions and self-deceptions fray at the edges and come undone. And nothing quite prepares you for this quiet film’s startling ending.

Sal Paradise, Kerouac’s alter-ego, is played by Sam Riley as a bit of a dispassionate observer diligently taking notes. Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty (a stand-in for the real-life Neal Cassady) has the handsome, sexually omnivorous charm but not the maniacal danger of the wild and crazy guy who took the Beat Generation on the road. The movie has great music, a lot of beautiful photography, a nicely realized vision of postwar America, some good cameos (as well as some strange casting), and a misfired ending. It’s a movie that should have been made 60 years ago, when its sex, drugs, and wanderlust story had the power to shock and inspire. Rated R. 125 minutes.

Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL This flimsy prequel to the 1939 classic opens in black-and-white Kansas, where a seedy magician named Oscar ( James Franco, woefully miscast) breaks women’s hearts between shows. After his hot-air balloon gets caught in a twister, he lands in Oz and meets three witches (Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, and Michelle Williams). Local prophecy predicts that a wizard will save the kingdom and become its new ruler. It might be Oscar, but he’s “weak, selfish, slightly egotistical, and a fibber,” so it’s hard to care what happens to him. To distract us from the lack of depth, director Sam Raimi sets everything amid eye-popping CGI landscapes. Rated PG. 127 minutes. Screens in 3-D and 2-D at Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe. Screens in 2-D only at DreamCatcher, Española; Storyteller, Taos. (Laurel Gladden) QUARTET At 75, Dustin Hoffman makes his debut as a director with appealing geriatric material. Beecham House is a retirement home for musicians, among them brooding Reg (Tom Courtenay); sweet, daffy Cissy (Pauline

Collins); and lecherous, fun-loving Wilf (Billy Connolly). The arrival of diva Jean (Maggie Smith) completes a foursome who once starred together in a noted production of Verdi’s Rigoletto and sets the stage for an encore performance. Rated PG-13. 98 minutes.

Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) SIDE EFFECTS Steven Soderbergh claims to be taking a sabbatical from making movies. He’s leaving us with a nifty psychological thriller starring Jude Law as an earnest shrink who prescribes a new drug to a depressed patient (Rooney Mara) and gets caught up in a maelstrom when a murder occurs. Catherine Zeta-Jones is smooth as a professional colleague, and beefy Channing Tatum is agreeable as the husband of Mara’s character. The movie revels in its twists and turns, and most of them work. Rated R. 105 minutes.

Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK After being released from a mental institution, Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper) moves in with his parents ( Jacki Weaver and Robert De Niro) and vows to win back his estranged wife. When friends invite him to dinner, he meets Tiffany (Best Actress Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence), who also has a couple of screws loose.

She agrees to help him patch things up with his wife — but only if he will agree to be her partner in a dance competition. The finely honed dialogue, attention to detail, and impressive performances make the movie a near-perfect oddball comedy. Rated R. 122 minutes.

Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden) TYLER PERRY’S TEMPTATION: CONFESSIONS OF A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR It’s “physician, heal thyself” in this story of a marriage counselor ( Jurnee Smollett-Bell) who is wooed away from her well-meaning but inattentive husband (Eric West) by a wealthy, fiery, smooth-talking man (Robbie Jones). Girl, that guy is bad news. Rated PG-13.

PASATIEMPO i April 12-18, 2013

Francisca Gavilán

In vida veritas Jon Bowman I For The New Mexican Violeta Went to Heaven, biopic, not rated, in French and Spanish with subtitles, The Screen, 3 chiles Fiery and intense, Violeta Parra embodied a host of contradictions. The Chilean folk singer and artist was thrust onto the global stage as the first Latin American awarded a solo exhibition at the Louvre. Her work resembles that of Frida Kahlo, although Parra’s iconography is distinct, blending folkloric elements with surreal, dreamlike motifs that arise from her own personal tragedies as well as from Chile’s often violent political struggles.

Parra, ever the revolutionary activist, struck a chord for social justice in her homeland and fought on behalf of the downtrodden and dispossessed.

Yet beneath her tough exterior, she was haunted by deep psychological wounds and an aching sadness that often left her despondent and reeling.

Her father taught her to sing and play the guitar. While he earned his own measure of fame for his inventive, satirical compositions, he wrestled with horrific mood swings and bouts of drunkenness. Parra herself could not sustain any lasting relationships. She placed her art ahead of her family, alienating her children and discarding the few men who came to love her.

Violeta Went to Heaven offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of Parra, capturing the fractured quality of her life. This isn’t a conventional biopic rendered in straightforward, chronological order so much as a swirling collection of vignettes that seek to define her character. Eliseo Altunaga adapted the script from the memoirs of Ángel Parra, Violeta’s son. She is presented warts and all, her neglect of her children, her stubbornness, and her frequent tirades casting her as something of an ogre — or at least a difficult and uncompromising individual. But these idiosyncrasies gave an edge and shape to her art, notably the throaty folk songs that became her calling cards.

Francisca Gavilán delivers a powerhouse performance as Parra, singing all the songs, although Parra’s most famous tune, “Gracias a la Vida” (Thanks to Life), is conspicuously absent. Andrés Wood’s direction takes a cue from the fluid visuals of Latin America’s magical realist classics. For instance, he films through the slats of floorboards to capture a sweaty bout of lovemaking involving Parra and her much younger boyfriend.

Violeta Went to Heaven was Chile’s official 2012 submission to the Oscars for best foreign language film. Some of its conceits don’t work as well as others. The film, like Parra’s life, has its ups and downs. Still, when it clicks, which is more frequently than not, it can be a soaring experience. ◀

The Short Order In January, Eric Stapelman and Nelli Maltezos reopened the recently closed and much-lauded Trattoria Nostrani as Vivre — a return to Maltezos’ French cooking roots and a more casual, wallet-friendly venue in which to sample Stapelman’s excellent wine selections and Maltezos’ magical precision in the kitchen. Not everything is up to this nationally recognized team’s incredibly high standards, but there are plenty of reasons to return. The cozy, well-lit dining rooms keep the focus on what’s on the table and in your glass. If, like 18th-century French aristocrats, you absolutely must cloak yourself in scent, it’s better to go elsewhere — this is a fragrance-free establishment.

Recommended: asparagus vinaigrette with crème fraîche mousse, country pâté, duck rillettes, braised pork belly, diver scallops in rosé reduction, chocolate and banana galette, and grapefruit with honey-vanilla sauce.

Ratings range from 0 to 4 chiles, including half chiles.

This reflects the reviewer’s experience with regard to food and drink, atmosphere, service, and value.

PASATIEMPO I April 12-18, 2013

For mourners of Trattoria Nostrani, which closed last December after nine years, the good news is that in January the establishment reopened as Vivre, an iconoclastic French restaurant. It’s a more casual, less expensive reincarnation of Trattoria’s French predecessor, Rociada (1999 to 2004). Collaborators on all three, Nelli Maltezos and Eric Stapelman have partnered since the ’90s, finding their first groove in New York City at Stapelman’s lauded Zucca. (Stapelman is renowned for his wine lists, which have garnered multiple awards.)

The precision and ethereal flavors of Maltezos’ cooking put Trattoria Nostrani on Gourmet’s Top 50 American Restaurants list.

At Vivre, you can opt for the serious oenophile list or choose from a list of 20 wines by the glass, 25 bottles for under $35, and another 25 for under $50, all carefully selected. And while there are still dishes to inspire swooning, your credit card won’t be denied at the final addition, as the French say. The atmosphere is warm wine bar/bistro in a 19th-century adobe with mirrors and cushy tangerine banquettes. The fragrance-free policy causes inordinate grousing, while rumors of Stapelman’s temper abound. However, I’ve never seen him comport himself other than as a gracious and generous host, and you’ll get polite reminders to avoid wearing fragrances on the website, when making reservations, and from a posting on the door. Chef’s choice, I say.

In the end, it’s the cooking that counts. Classic Provençal brandade — normally a mash of potatoes, salt cod, garlic, and olive oil — is served here as potato and cod croquettes “à la Grenobloise,” which I assume refers to the pool of butter on the plate, as there are cows aplenty in the fertile valleys of the Alps near Grenoble. The server called it a butter sauce, but I tasted only butter soaking into each of the two large croquettes.

The Swiss chard ravioli was exquisite, but a too-sharp mustard sauce ultimately affected the pleasure. A muchanticipated dessert, a white-chocolate mousse “cake” with passion-fruit sauce, tasted off, possibly from the use of a kitchen torch on the weirdly charred underlying cookie. The server offered to ask the chef’s opinion, and though he neither reported back nor offered a replacement, he did deduct the charge.

Better country pâté or duck rillettes will be hard to find on this side of the Atlantic — or in many places along the other side. A frisée salad with lardons and goat cheese had plenty of smoky pork bits; the fresh, delectable goat cheese cleverly imitated the classic poached egg in the middle of a nest of rather tough frisée. An artful tableau of smoky grilled asparagus, sublime crème fraîche mousse, and pea tendrils, all highlighted by the salty pop of golden trout roe, is reason enough for a visit to Vivre.

The same is true of the pork belly balanced on barley over a deep red wine sauce and the sop-it-up rosé-wine reduction with scallops. A crusty chunk of excellent baguette ensures that not a drop of these ambrosial sauces goes to waste.

A trio of differently flavored crème brûlée custards, though true to flavor (lemon was my favorite), didn’t achieve crème brûlée perfection. The chocolate banana galette with vanilla cream sauce was a reimagined banana split in a French-country crust. Fresh grapefruit chunks in a honey- and vanilla-infused sauce were a light and lyrical way to end the meal.

Each glass of wine — we tried red and white Burgundies, a red Bordeaux, and a Lirac — demonstrated Stapelman’s devotion to both quality and value. The blackshirted servers reminded me of members of a soccer team, dancing nimbly around one other in the intimate dining rooms and bar. The crowd is part out-of-towners (L.A. seems to figure heavily) and part loyal locals. Stapelman’s and Maltezos’ French may be a little rusty, but fluency is returning quickly. And the price is definitely right. ◀

Back in the Seattle again I called the Emerald City home in 1988.

Antique Scream It was a swirling vortex in musical time soon to see a glut of superb rock bands swallowed whole by an unstoppable corporate-grunge epidemic. That year, both Mother Love Bone and Mudhoney began flexing serious muscle at local clubs and bars, hedging their bets on a psych-tinged blues-rock style that took stadium glam-metal to task for its cute-butpredictable vapidity.

I left Washington State in 1989, the year Nirvana’s Bleach saw its original release on the Sup Pop imprint. Cobain and company deserve props for launching a select portion of the contemporary Seattle music scene into the Billboard-chart stratosphere. But I never understood the appeal of a debut album that Cobain himself said was dumbed down to please the grungecentric leadership at Sub Pop at that time.

No, my allegiance remained with the Mother Love Bones of the world — bands that, while they did play nice with Sub Pop, maintained garage-born rawness. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you see things, many of the Seattle psych-blues-rock bands of yesteryear remained in the shadows of superstardom but trudged onward, influencing a handful of worthy musicians in the process.

Take Antique Scream, a road-hardened band placed firmly in the now along the spacetime-rock-n-roll continuum but based stylistically on the merits of Seattle’s less fame-fortunate bands of the ’70s and ’80s. Antique Scream inherited a great deal of that fleeting psych-rock mojo through osmosis, hard work, and a great deal of careful listening. Lead singer/guitarist Chris Rutledge oozes a sweaty countenance that’s one-third Motörhead/Lemmy Kilmister, one-third The Fugs, and 100 percent drunk Elvis, energizing every live performance to the near breaking point.

Rutledge’s fuzzed-out guitars and Bill Fees’ tight punk-jazz percussion à la Fear’s Spit Stix meld into a symphony of controlled chaos. And these guys have a good time with their songwriting and titling. “Hoosier Daddy,” “Fromage et Trois,” and the hallucinogenic “Road Map to Nipple Town” aren’t going to win any retroactive political-correctness awards from the defunct Parents Music Resource Center, but they sure do make for some fist-pumping, head-swimming, beer-swilling jams in the mind-atrophying age of Bieber Fever.

Catch Antique Scream with DJ Guttermouth at 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at The Underground at Evangelo’s (200 W. San Francisco St., 577-5893). Cover for the 21-andolder show is $5 at the door. Have an ear schmear over at www.antiquescream.bandcamp.com.

Rock of all ages At 6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13, Warehouse 21 (1614 Paseo de Peralta, www.warehouse21.org) hosts Surviving the Apocalypse — part concert, part dance party, part social experiment in subcultural tolerance. Local EDM mainstays Amy Basscakes and James NMTribe hook up with New Mexico metal bands From Sacrifice to Survival, Amongst the Chaos Is Clarity, and others in a spike- and glowstick-flinging cage fight to the death. OK, that last part’s not true. It’s just a friendly gathering to celebrate diversity within the local music community. And it costs five bucks at the door.

Twang thang against cancer From 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 13, Little Bird at Loretto, formerly Kiva Fine Art (211 Old Santa Fe Trail, 820-7413), hosts a folk-country fundraising concert for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. April Reese, Johny Broomdust, Jose Antonio Ponce, Howard Hall, Lisa Carman, Paula Rhae McDonald, and special guest Ollie O’Shea perform original songs. All you have to do is show up, enjoy the show, and make a donation. All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society’s prevention, early-detection, and treatmentassistance programs. No donation is too small or too big.

pete Moss’ Garden Tip: Spring is here and it is time to start planting perennials, shrubs and trees. If you have not planted your pea, carrot or lettuce seed it is not too late. However, you may want to do this right away. Watering frequencies for trees and shrubs should be increased to twice a week now for established trees and shrubs. If it is a recent planting within the last year, you should start watering three times a week. It is also time to plant spring bulbs such as dahlia, gladiola, and lilies.
