‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ author talk Will appear and discuss new book at Temple Beth Shalom
B
Author Mitch Albom
est-selling author Mitch Albom, who wrote “Tuesdays With Morrie” and “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” will discuss the latter book’s long-awaited sequel, “The Next Person You Meet in Heaven,” at Temple Beth Sholom on Thursday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. In “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” published 15 years ago, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran-turned-amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie’s journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in “The Next Person You Meet in Heaven,” Albom reveals Annie’s story. The accident that killed Eddie left an indelible mark on Annie. It took her left hand, which needed to be surgically reattached. Injured, scarred, and unable to remember why, Annie’s life is forever changed by a guilt-ravaged mother who whisks her away from the world she knew. Bullied by her peers and haunted by something she cannot recall, Annie struggles to find acceptance as she grows. When, as a young woman, she reconnects with Paulo, her childhood love, she believes she has finally found happiness. As the new novel opens, Annie is marrying Paulo. But when her wedding day ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey — and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed. Already a No. 1 New York Times bestseller since its Oct. 9th publication, “The Next Person You Meet in Heaven” is filled with unexpected twists, reminding us that not only does every life matter, but every ending is also a beginning — we need only to open our eyes to see it. Albom was an acclaimed sports broadcaster before becoming a novelist and non-fiction writer focusing on inspirational stories. The event at Temple Beth Sholom is co-sponsored by The Herbert Tarr Institute and The Arthur Goldberg Cultural Arts & Social Action Fund of Temple Beth Sholom. General admission is $18, but students with a student I.D. will be admitted
for free. Albom will be available to sign his new book at the event’s conclusion. Books may be pre-ordered for $19.99 or purchased at the event for $23.99.

The Chapin family to perform on 11/3 Tom Chapin and The Chapin Sisters will be the featured artists during the Folk Music Society of Huntington’s monthly First Saturday Concerts’ series on Saturday, Nov. 3. The 8:30 p.m. concert will take place at the Congregational Church of Huntington at 30 Washington Drive, o Route 25A, in Centerport, and will be preceded by an open mic at 7:30 p.m. In the long, rich history of family groups in American roots music, the Chapins have a special place. Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Tom Chapin, who previously performed for the Folk Music Society of Huntington a few years ago, returns to share the stage with The Chapin Sisters — the singersongwriter duo comprised of his daughters Lily and Abigail. In this rare joint performance, they will sing their own original and traditional songs, as well as classics by Tom’s brother and their uncle, the late Harry Chapin. Selections from their respective recent releases, At The Turning Point and Ferry Boat, will be featured during the evening. Hailed as “one of the great personalities in contemporary folk musicâ€? in The New York Times, Tom Chapin’s career spans ďŹ ve decades, 26 albums and three Grammys. He has covered an incredible amount of creative ground — maintaining two long and productive parallel musical vocations, both as a
respected contemporary folk artist and a pioneer in the ďŹ eld of children’s music. Earlier this year, Tom was named Best Male Artist in the 2018 International Acoustic Music Awards. Making music that a critic for The New York Times lauded as “tantalizingly close to beauty,â€? The Chapin Sisters carry on a proud family musical legacy. Since 2005, the sisters have garnered critical acclaim by forging a distinctive musical imprint in which they “wed lilting voices, dynamically complex vocal harmonies, and folk-inuenced melodies to dark, wryly sarcastic lyrical content,â€? notes Amazon. com in an editorial review. Tickets to the Chapin family concert are priced at $30 ($25 for FMSH members), and may be purchased in advance at www.fmsh. org, using a credit card, or at the door (cash and checks only). Donations of canned and other non-perishable food items will also be collected for Long Island Cares — The Harry Chapin Food Bank. For more information, visit the FMSH website or call (631) 425-2925. Now in its 50th year, the Folk Music Society of Huntington presents two monthly concert series, a monthly folk jam, and an annual folk festival in conjunction with the Huntington Arts Council. Its Hard Luck CafĂŠ series at Huntington’s Cinema Arts Centre will feature touring singer-songwriters Rachael Kilgour and Jesse Terry on Thursday, Nov. 15.

Wagner tribute kicks off film fest Attributes good fortune to career spanning 70 years alongside many Hollywood icons BY G R AC E M CQ UA D E The 8th Annual Gold Coast International Film Festival premieres on Nov. 2, but not before a special event that toasts the Golden Age of Hollywood. The Gold Coast Arts Center’s Oct. 24 benefit, Gala 2018! The Stars Come Out!, pays tribute to a screen legend in order to preserve his or her legacy for future generations of filmgoers. Selected by the Gold Coast Arts Center and a committee of actors and entertainers, the chosen artist is presented with the Burton Moss Hollywood Golden Era Award. The first award was bestowed posthumously last year to the late actress Rita Hayworth. The recipient of the 2018 Burton Moss Golden Era Award is renowned film and television actor Robert Wagner, whose career has spanned nearly 70 years. “It’s wonderful to be acknowledged,” Wagner said upon arriving in New York for the celebration. “It’s really a very special award for me… To be in (Hayworth’s) company is indeed a big honor.” The award is named after the Hollywood agent and talent manager Burton Moss, who turned actors into stars of the big and small screens from the 1960s to the ‘80s. Wagner remembers Moss from an early age. “Burton Moss and I went to grammar school together,” he said. “We sat next to each other at a school called Fairburn Avenue in West Los Angeles.” And in the years that followed, the two shared more than just a schoolroom, as they each pursued their dreams of making it in the movie business. While Moss worked as a busboy at a café on the Fox studio lot and then at the MGM gas station, servicing cars for people like Gene Kelly and Judy Garland, Wagner golf caddied for Clark Gable at the Bel Air Country Club. The two eventually made their marks in the entertainment world – Moss behind the scenes and Wagner on screen – making this award night particularly nostalgic for Wagner since Moss will attend to help present the award and film historian Foster Hirsch will moderate a discussion about his storied career. We asked the venerable actor our own questions about his impressive body of work, which mirrors the evolution of Hollywood, and the people he met along the way who played key roles in his success. Although Wagner was an uncredited extra in one of his first films, “The Happy Years” (1950), this job gave him his start in the film world. “It was directed by William Wellmen,” he said. “He knew I wanted to be in the picture business and he put me in it so I could get my Screen Actors Guild card and have a few close-ups.” After making the rounds of auditions at all the major film studios, Wagner made the cut at 20th Century Fox when he was still just a teenager. “This wonderful drama coach called

Robert Wagner Helena Sorell… she saw something in me that would be of value to the studio (so) they signed me at 20th Century Fox. I was there for 12 years,” he said. These were certainly “happy years” for Wagner, who went on to make more than 10 films during the ‘50s, including the first in which he had star billing, “Halls of Montazuma” (1951) with Richard Widmark, “With a Song in My Heart” (1952) with Susan Hayward, “What Price Glory” (1952) with James Cagney, and “Beneath the 12 Mile Reef” (1953), his first lead role. “I was so excited,” Wagner recalls. “I couldn’t believe it. I was all over that studio trying to learn everything I could about the motion picture business… it was a tremendous opportunity.” While Wagner performed in a number of war films during these post-WWII years, making the Burton Moss Award particularly fitting given that it is designed by artist Edwina Sandys, a grandchild of Winston Churchill, it was a western that he credits for catapulting his acting career at this time. “I was just up at the Long Pine Film Festival and they ran ‘Broken Lance’ (1954), which is a picture that I did with Spencer Tracy,” Wagner said. “It was quite emotional because that picture really put my whole career in a different direction.” Tracy was so fond of Wagner from this film that he managed to pull him away from Fox to Paramount Studios to make a second movie with him entitled “The Mountain” (1956). “Spencer Tracy gave me co-star billing above the title with him,” Wagner said. “We made it in Europe – it was the first time I went to Europe. That film really changed my whole life.” 20th Century Fox released its own Wagner film the same year that not only cemented his leading man status, but forged two more relationships that propelled his career. The film was “A Kiss Before Dying” with co-star Joanne Woodward, wife of the late actor Paul Newman.
“Paul and Joanne are two of the most marvelous people,” Wagner said. “I did three films with Paul, ‘Harper’ (1966), ‘Winning’ (1969) – that was Joanne, Paul and me – and ‘The Towering Inferno’ (1974),” movies that Wagner considers “big breaks” in his career. By this time, television had entered its Golden Age and Wagner continued to ride the tide. “Going into the ‘70s, that’s when I was under contract to Universal and Lew Wasserman, who had been my agent, was now the head of the studio. I went into his office one day and he said, ‘I want you to be in this magazine every week,’ and he pulled out TV Guide, saying ‘I think this is the medium for you.’” Wasserman had read a television script that was written for Wagner called “It Takes a Thief” (1968-70). Although ABC initially passed on the pilot, they bought the series once they saw the movie version. “Suddenly I was on television,” Wagner said. “I thought maybe this was the end of my career. Well, it wasn’t. The show was a big hit.” Wagner asked Fred Astaire to play his father in the series that was filmed in Europe and earned him an Emmy nomination for his role as Alexander Mundy. After starring in the BBC series “Colditz” (1972-74) and then “Switch” (197578), which co-starred Eddie Albert and gave actress Sharon Gless her big break, Wagner began to work with Aaron Spelling, the producer behind many hit television series of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. “Aaron was an actor I had known,” he said. “I met him through Dick Powell. He was a wonderful man and with Leonard (Goldberg), that combination worked really well.” Spelling and Goldberg would produce Wagner’s next series, “Hart to Hart” (197984), about a wealthy couple of amateur detectives that was written by Tom Mankiewicz and co-starred Stefanie Powers. “Tom and I both wanted Stefanie from the very beginning,” Wagner said. “I had worked with her on ‘Switch’… and I felt she was the person to play Jennifer Hart. We held out for it and we got her.” The chemistry obviously worked because the series lasted for five seasons and has aired in 87 countries.
Jonathan Hart wasn’t the first or the last worldly character Wagner would play. He would go on to do another Pink Panther film, “Curse of the Pink Panther” (1983), made 20 years after the popular original, and star alongside Audrey Hepburn in “Love Among Thieves” (1987) and Jaclyn Smith in “Windmills of the Gods” (1988), a mini-series based on the Sidney Sheldon novel. In more recent years, Wagner starred in the “Austin Powers” trilogy (‘97, ‘99, ‘02) as Dr. Evil’s henchman, Number Two, another role written for him – this time by “Saturday Night Live” alum Mike Myers, who Wagner met while making a guest appearance on the late night show. “We hit it off,” Wagner said after performing in a few of Myers’ skits. “We had a lot of fun together and when he started to write ‘Austin Powers,’ he wrote Number Two for me… I read the script and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is a great character.’ It opened up a whole new fan base for me.” Wagner guest starred with his current wife, Jill St. John, in the famous “Yada, Yada” episode of “Seinfeld,” and has had recurring roles on “Two and a Half Men” and the current TV drama, “NCIS.” Among his many accomplishments, Wagner is also a published author of three books, his autobiography, “Pieces of My Heart: A Life” (2008), “You Must Remember This: The Life and Style of Hollywood’s Golden Age” (2014) and “I Loved Her in the Movies: Memories of Hollywood’s Legendary Actresses” (2016), all written with coauthor and book reviewer Scott Eyman. In his most recent book, Wagner writes about leading ladies who created magic on the screen, including two of the actresses he married, the late Natalie Wood and St. John. “I always thought that Natalie was a God-given talent because she had such a range and she did so many marvelous films,” Wagner said. “She was a wonderful actress and people loved her… she was just one of the most special people in the world.” While they made a few movies together, Wagner said his greatest collaboration with Wood was their marriages. “I fell madly and passionately in love with her,” he said. “Fortunately, we got back together and we were married twice… It was a relationship that just was so special.” Now, three leading ladies in Wagner’s current life – his wife of 28 years, St. John, his youngest daughter Courtney from his marriage with Wood, and his former co-star and close friend, Gless, will join him as he accepts the Burton Moss Hollywood Golden Era Award at the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck. Looking back, Wagner attributes much of his success to luck, but it has clearly been a combination of talent, charisma and camaraderie with industry colleagues that has made him a Hollywood treasure. “My life has been so blessed and I’m so fortunate,” he said. “I say ‘thank you, thank you’ every day.” For more information about the Gold Arts Center and the Gold Coast International Film Festival, go to www.goldcoastarts.org.

Flowers, nature focus Gibbons brings blues of new art exhibits tour to Huntington November will bring three new exhibitions to the b. j. spoke gallery in Huntington, two solo exhibits and a gallery members’ exhibit, that will be on display and open to the public from Tuesday, Oct. 30 to Wednesday, Nov. 28. Artist J. Lefsky, whose exhibit is called “Floral Abstractions,” says the following about her work: “I was born and raised in New York City, and painting has always been a very important part of my life. After making the move from Brooklyn 18 years ago to Long Island, I have found the difference in my environment inspiring. My paintings, I believe, are powerful expressions of the beauty of my surroundings — closeup and boldly colorful. I try to fill them with the tremendous joy I feel being able to witness this splendor in the gardens and fields of Long Island.” About “Delighting in Nature,” the second solo exhibit, photographer Steven Finch said, “Although a musician and conductor by profession, I have another passion — photographing nature. I have always been fascinated by the relationship between the two art forms: rhythm, color, mood, contrast and meaning. Being in nature, seeing its movement, its ever-changing light and moods inspires me in much the same way as conducting a great work of music does. The challenge of both is to convey to the viewer or listener the love and delight I have found in both art forms.” “The images in this exhibition were taken over the last twenty years,” Finch added. “They capture Rocky Mountain landscapes and flower close-ups; birds and scenes around a lake in Wisconsin’s north woods; and eastern seaboard locations from Massachusetts, to Long Island and the Georgia coast.” The third gallery room reflects the remaining cooperative members’ art created in many styles and media. The artists
in this exhibit include: Richard Anello, archival digital painter; John A. Bell, found metal constructions; Phyllis Baron, abstract painter; Katherine Criss, surreal painter/ photographer; Lorraine Carol, abstract painter; Liz Ehrlichman, painter; Barbara Grey, watercolor painter and collagist; Chris Greene, realistic painter and cartoonist; Simon Hickey, wood sculptor and ink drawings; Karen Kirshner, abstract painter; Kevin Larkin, abstract painter; J. Lefsky, abstract painter; Lee Ann Lindgren, photographer; Lili Maglione, realistic and abstract paintings; Dianne Marxe, bronze sculptor; Nicolette Pach, fabric panels; Gia Schifano, realistic painter; Cindy Shechter, landscape painter; and Constance Wain, painter and printer. The artists will convene at a reception on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the b. j. spoke gallery, 299 Main St. in Huntington. For more information about the exhibitions and event, call the gallery at 631-5495106 or go to www.bjspokegallery.org.
a vocalist, his down and dirty growl is unmistakable; he sounds ominous and mirthful at the same time, as in hits such as “La Grange,” “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Cheap Sunglasses.” Gibbons, along with Matt Sorum, a drummer, percussionist and former member of Guns N’ Roses, and musician Austin Hanks, will take the stage at The Paramount on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 8 p.m., with their “Big Bad Blues Tour.” Fans can get tickets by going to www. paramountny.com. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.
‘Grey Gardens’ returns to Cinema Arts Centre
Adelphi Orchestra to perform on Oct. 26 Adelphi University’s Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Christopher Lyndon Gee, brings to the stage Haydn’s trio of linked Symphonies Nos. 6-8, subtitled “Morning,” “Noon,” and “Evening,” on Friday, Oct. 26. These works, written during first days of his employment by the Esterhazy court in 1761, provide for a stunningly virtuosic experience for both the audience and the performers, as Haydn has composed music in the Baroque style that features virtually all of the sections of the orchestra. The program is rounded out by a remarkable contrasting work, Strawinksy’s Dumbarton Oaks. Bach’s Brandenburg
With his signature beard and African headgear, Billy Gibbons is instantly recognizable. He’s best known as the centerpiece and one third of ZZ Top, the band that came together in 1969 and has stayed part of the American musical landscape ever since — the longest running major rock band still composed of its original members. Gibbons and bandmates Dusty Hill and Frank Beard were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, most appropriately by longtime friend Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. His singular look notwithstanding, Gibbons is even more notable for having been recognized as one of the most inventive and dexterous guitarists of the rock era. He is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest guitarists working in the blues-rock realm. ZZ Top’s sound owes much to his uncanny knack to squeeze unheard of sounds out of the electric guitar that resonate with the blues, pop, R&B, country, gospel, western, hillbilly and West African influences that coalesced when rock and roll was born. Gibbons’ almost subconscious awareness of this heritage makes his an approach that is, at once, innovative and authentic. As
Concertos inspired the 1938 composition, commissioned in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Robert and Mildred Bill. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. on the Westermann Stage in the Concert Hall at Adelphi’s Performing Arts Center. Tickets are on sale for $25. Discounts available to seniors, students and alumni. Information is available at the Lucia and Steven N. Fischer Box Office at 516877-4000. Regular box office hours are Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 p.m. The box office is also open two hours before most scheduled performances. Ticket sales and additional information are also available online.
Jerry Torre, author of “The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens: A Memoir of the Beales, the Maysles Brothers, and Jacqueline Kennedy,” will return to the Cinema Arts Centre on Monday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m., to discuss his book along with a special screening of “That Summer,” the prequel to the Maysles brothers’ iconic documentary, “Grey Gardens.” In the summer of 1972, Lee Radziwill, socialite and sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, asked photographer Peter Beard to help her make a film about her childhood on Long Island. Radziwill’s eccentric cousins, Edith Bouvier Beale and her mother Edith Ewing Bouvier, then became the focus of the project. Three years before the Maysles’ landmark documentary introduced the world to the Beales, the mother-daughter duo living in a decaying dream world on Long Island, Beard chronicled life at their crumbling estate. This long-lost footage, featuring glimpses of luminaries like Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger, and Truman Capote, is assembled into “That Summer,” a one-of-a-kind family portrait bursting with the loving squabbles, quotable bon mots, and impromptu musical numbers that would make Big and Little Edie beloved cultural icons. In “The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens,” Torre writes about his teenage days as caretaker of Grey Gardens, the now-celebrated mansion chronicled in these documentaries
and two feature-length films, including the HBO drama starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. The book, co-written with film historian Tony Maietta, is a behind-the-scenes look at the Beales and their bizarre and reclusive life of squalor amidst the tremendous wealth of East Hampton, the family bond Torre developed with the Beales, and the day everything was turned upside down forever with the arrival of documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. The screening of “That Summer” and reception with Torre and Maietta, which includes a signed copy of their book, are part of the Cinema Art Centre’s Real to Reel series. Tickets are $40 for members and $50 for the general public. To purchase tickets in advance, go to www.cinemaartscentre.org. The Cinema Arts Centre is located at 423 Park Ave. in Huntington.

THE CULINARY ARCHITECT
Making my favorite birthday meal If I had a dollar for every time someone asks me, “What is your favorite meal?”… This year for my birthday, I decided that instead of going out, I would make my own favorite meal. Considering that all the work would be done by me, I also took into account a few shortcuts. Starting off the meal with a platter of mozzarella, burratta and proscuitto is easy, make-ahead ready, and a delicious way to start off the evening. Speaking of mozzarella and burrata, I just adore the freshness and creaminess of Maplebrook Farm’s cheeses from Bennington, Vt. Contact them at www.maplebrookvt.com, 802-440-9950. Follow this with My Favorite Baked Artichokes, a take-off of one of Frank Sinatra’s favorite dishes. From the time I was 8 years old, Zuppa de Clams has always been my most requested dish growing up. Knowing that not everyone likes clams, I make my homemade turkey “meat” sauce and serve both — the clams as one choice and the “meat” sauce as another with linguini on the side. Finish off the meal with bread to soak up all the deliciousness. What would be a celebration without a cake? Just add a store bought favorite cake and you have
a feast. Make one or all of these dishes and you are going to enjoy a delectable meal whether you are celebrating or just enjoying a delicious meal with friends and family. Menu (Serves 6) Mozzarella, burratta and proscuitto* My Favorite Artichokes Zuppa de Clams Turkey “meat” sauce* Linguini* Bread* Cake* *Recipe Not Given My Favorite Artichokes 3 large artichokes, cleaned, trimmed and rubbed with lemon to prevent discoloration 1 lemon, halved 1 1/2 cups homemade bread crumbs or store bought Italian 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (a total of 3/4 of cheese) Salt and pepper to taste Drizzle fine quality olive oil 1. Put 1-inch of water in a heavybottomed casserole, enough to hold the artichokes in a single layer. Add the artichokes, stem side down, drizzle with oil. 2. Equally disperse bread crumbs between the three artichokes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese.
ALEXANDRA TROY The Culinary Architect 3. Cover and bring to a simmer over high heat. Lower heat and allow artichokes to gently steam for about 45 minutes or until the artichoke bottoms are soft when pierced with a sharp knife. 4. Using tongs, carefully remove artichokes from water, reserving pan juices. Pour pan juices into six individual ramekins. (These will be used for dipping when eating the artichoke leaves.) 5. Place artichokes on a pan and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on artichokes. Place artichokes under a broiler set to the highest temperature and broil until golden brown. (Do not walk away as all broilers are different and you do not want to burn the artichokes.) Serve on a platter with ramekins of broth for dipping on the side.
Zuppa de Clams (Adapted from my childhood memories) 1/8 cup best quality olive oil 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 1/2 onion, finely chopped 2 anchovies, chopped (this adds a special depth to the sauce, but may be omitted) 8 oz. clam stock (homemade or store bought) 8 oz. white wine 1 25 oz. can crushed tomatoes 4 dozen clams, scrubbed and cleaned 1. In a Dutch oven pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and saute until soft, approximately 5-10 minutes. Add anchovies and continue sauteing for 5 minutes. 2. Add white wine, clam stock and tomatoes, stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. (You may simmer this for
10 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how much time you have. The more it simmers, the more intense the flavor becomes.) 3. Ten minutes before serving, add the clams, toss, cover and cook on medium heat until the clams open. 4. Discard any clams that do not open. 5. I like to serve the clams and sauce by ladling it into soup plates from the pot at the table. Serve bread alongside to soak up all the sauce.

Classic country comes to Albertson The classic country music of the 1920s through the 1950s — the music of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and more — will be coming to the Shelter Rock Public
Library on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. Tennessee Walt’s The Other Great American Songbook is a one-man concert featuring two dozen songs from country’s greatest songwriters, the likes of
Kris Kristofferson, Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams, arranged for voice and piano. It’s also an intriguing, factfilled look into what has made country music — and its most prominent descendant, rock
and roll — popular throughout America and beyond. “Think of it as a cabaret show, except that, instead of voice and piano versions of Tin Pan Alley songs from the 1920s through 1950s, these are Music Row songs of the same period,” said Gayden Wren, the musicaltheater veteran who performs as Tennessee Walt. “From those two streets have come the lion’s share of America’s greatest songs. Both streets were originally dedicated to pop music, music made for a buck, but in the past 20 or 30 years we’ve come to realize the classical aspects of the songs of Jerome Kern, George Gershwin and Rodgers & Hart. I think it’s time we recognized that there’s that same classical essence in the greatest country songs.” “This isn’t what people may think of when they hear the words `country music,’” Wren
said. “It’s voice and piano, not fiddles and steel guitars, and I won’t be yodeling. And this isn’t the country of Toby Keith or Carrie Underwood — it’s the older, purer country music that inspired them and everybody from Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley, to Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Ringo Starr. Anyone who comes to this show will learn some things they never knew about America’s musical heritage, and they’ll hear some of the funniest, most moving and most musically engaging songs ever written.” The Shelter Rock Public Library is located at 165 Searingtown Road in Albertson. Admission is free. For further information, call 516-248-7363 or visit www.srpl.org. For more information on Tennessee Walt’s The Other Great American Songbook, visit tennesseewalt.com.

Survivor’s account from Port resident The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County will present a program, “From Home to Home to Home: The Courageous Rescue of a Hidden Child,” a book by Holocaust survivor Gloria Glantz, on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m. Born in Wegrow, Poland in 1939, Glantz had a large, loving family, which included many aunts, uncles, cousins, two older brothers, and grandparents. To save her life, her parents enlisted the help of a simple, righteous Christian family. In her lifetime, Glantz has lived in four countries and on two continents, so her journey to America was a very circuitous and unusual one. In her professional life as a teacher, she has made it a mission to see that the Holocaust is not forgotten. A Port Washing-
ton resident and former teacher at the Shelter Rock School in Manhasset, Glantz is the winner of a fellowship from the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, American Federation of Teachers, and Jewish Labor Committee to study the Holocaust and Resistance. She is also the 2002 recipient of The Spirit of Anne Frank Outstanding Educator Award. The event will take
place on the same day as the Holocaust Museum and Tolerance Center’s 2nd Annual Walk the Tall walkathon, which kicks off on the grounds of Welwyn Preserve at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 28. New York State Assemblyman Tony D’Urso will be in attendance with his family as the Grand Marshal for rescuing a Jewish family in Italy during the Holocaust. There is a $10 suggested donation to attend “From Home to Home to Home: The Courageous Rescue of a Hidden Child.” Seats are limited so reservations are strongly recommended. The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center, Welwyn Preserve, is located at 100 Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove. To RSVP, call 516-5718040 x107 or email info@ hmtcli.org.

Vampires in bubbles? Football players in a tool box? A flock of fairy princess in Feast for Beasts? What’s going on? It’s Halloween at the Long Island Children’s Museum, with the 17th annual Ghostly Gala set to take place on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., a special after-hours event. Children of all ages — and accompanying adults, too — can enjoy a night at the museum in their most creative and dazzling costumes and celebrate Halloween in a fun, safe and spooky (but not scary) way. The mood will be just right for gallery trick-or-treating, as creepy music plays throughout the museum and children decorate their own scaredy cat treat bags. During the night, visitors can get their faces painted, make spooky craft projects like a ghost rocket, mummy necklace, and a witchy broomstick puppet. Kids will be spellbound in the Witch’s Kitchen, as they touch and guess the contents in each of the witch’s creepy caul-
drons. They will also make a silly themed snack to end their night. As a special treat, master bubbleologist Jeff Boyer will create mesmerizing creations including a bubble volcano and bubble roller coaster. Boyer will take bubbles to a Halloween max in this one-man bubble extravaganza. Separate theater tickets are required for his Bubble Trouble show and are priced at $4 ($3 for LICM members). Showtimes are 6:15 p.m., 7 p.m., 7:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the Ghostly Gala are $12 for the general public and $10 for LICM members and can be purchased online at www.licm.org/ghostly or at the museum box office. The Long Island Children’s Museum is located at 11 Davis Ave. in Garden City. For the safety of visitors, adults are not permitted in the museum without children, and museum visitors under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times. For additional information, contact 516-224-5800.
