A

lthough Grateful Dead tribute bands abound at every level of the live music game – with the Dead themselves now well in on the action – we are all still waiting on the one that casts the players for likeness: embracing the cultural theater of the story, copping the band’s radically ordinary look and revolutionary indifference, tracking its fashion as it devolves from a certain amount of ill-fitting token psychedelic frillery in the earliest San Francisco years down to the shorts and tee-shirts and New Bal-

ance sneakers of the stadium-show commercial peak in the late ’80s.

Bobby, of course, stayed fit and came closest to embracing any kind of rockstarism. Our Weir may have to sit through one modest hairstyle change at intermission to signify exactly how few sh*ts this band gave about style. They gave precisely one sh*t about style: Bobby’s sh*t in the ’70s, around the time of Bobby and the Midnights.

of time and the accumulation of history on the windowpane will be as easy as a gradually increasing touch of grey across the board.

We’ll need to cast for at least the longestrunning inhabitants of the exploding keyboard chair: Keith, who was the best foil Jerry ever had in that position, but who always evinced a ghostly, remote and peripheral quality (perhaps due to the marginalizing enormity of grand pianos), and Brent, who tinkled the DX7 longer than anyone in the band’s history and who wrote and sang, but who always seemed

will return for the encore (“The Golden Road” into “Touch of Grey”), restored and glowing like the aged Anakin at the end of the original Return of the Jedi, for a crossdimensional full family reunion. Why not even sprinkle a few waving Ewoks around for good effect? They all knew Lucas.

Mostly, we’ll need backers to help us acquire the mountains of gear necessary to trace the arc of each player’s mystic tone quest: Jerry and Bob and Phil moving from the standard Fenders, Gibsons and Guilds through the transitional Travis Beans and Alembics and Yamahas, and then finally into the expensive custombuilt years, when each guitar looked like the antlers of a different Venusian elk.

This part of our game will need to be precise. We may stage a theatrical segment in which Mickey travels, at great personal danger, through African and South American jungles and Asian mountains collecting drums and fending off spectral tigers and snakes. When the final drum is acquired – a rare ceramic variant of the Egyptian doumbek – the puzzle of global rhythm is complete, and Mickey explodes back into the band just in time for Blues for Allah. It will be a hit!

Meantime, Alex Mazur’s excellent, regional Dead cover band Gratefully Yours returns to the Falcon Underground in Marlboro on Friday, January 20. This band comes with a twist – they play “ideal” sets

Gender bender

Channeling the Allman Brothers at the Chance on Friday The Allman Brothers Band – the other great branch in the river of American jam music – has been oft covered, but seldom given exclusivity of tribute in the way that the Dead have. Until now: The Allmans’ tribute band Live at the Fillmore has been at it for eight years, nearly twice as long as a Gov’t Mule guitar solo. Their name is taken from the band’s historic third record, 1971’s At Fillmore East, which finds Duane and the fellows shedding what little sense of pop concision and restraint remained on 1970s classic studio effort Idlewild South and giving in entirely to jazz-leaning blues/ rock-based jams with tidal dynamics and patient, patient solos.

“In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” swells from 6:59 to 13:04. “Whipping Post” balloons from a tight-but-epic-feeling 5:16 to a vinyl side at 22:56. As with the Dead, whose very earliest psychedelic records tend to be the only ones that get any hipster love, At Fillmore East finds the Allmans relinquishing some of the curious stylistic complexity that made their first two records so cool and hard to categorize.

In the process, they all but invented both jam rock and Southern rock.

Video evidence of the band Live at the Fillmore impresses. This band has it down: The unique fluidity of the double drummers, the pairing of two singing Les Pauls and the repertoire that – amidst the mountains of jam – could occasionally grab you with the power and ingenuity of the songwriting in a way that Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchett never, ever could (give me the Western swing undertones of the Marshall Tucker Band, if anything). One nice thing that the videos attest to: The two lead guitars treat the beginnings of each Dickie-and-Duane solo as scripture and recitation before going off-script and into the lyrical jamming that was the spirit, not the letter, of the Allman oeuvre.

Live at the Fillmore is a must-see for Allman Brothers fans. Go must-see them at the Chance in Poughkeepsie on Friday, January 20 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15.

The Chance is located at 6 Crannell Street in Poughkeepsie. For more information, visit www.thechancetheater.com.

Nellie McKay performs A Girl Named Bill: The Life and Times of Billy Tipton at Club Helsinki in Hudson on Sunday

I

n January 1989 in Spokane, Washington, a jazz pianist and bandleader called Billy Tipton died of an untreated hemorrhaging peptic ulcer. His was never a household name, but Tipton had made a consistent modest living off his music – mostly swing standards in the Benny Goodman mode – touring clubs and radio stations in the West for many decades. He recorded several albums for a small inde-

All kidding aside, the Rolling Stones are a band that might lend itself to behavioral mimicry – not just musical – in a way that the aforementioned jam-rock flagship acts do not. The Stones tribute band Satisfaction do in fact act, as well as look and play, the part. Their promotional video montage emphasizes the full chronological embrace of the repertoire, moving from Jones to Wood to Taylor in its first three selections. The playing and performing is convincing and impassioned to say the least. In the literature regarding their upcoming Bearsville Theater show, this curious fact can be found: “They were approved by the Rolling Stones to perform long-term engagements with the Walt Disney Corporation.” I’ll just leave that there.

dissertation have been inspired by Tipton’s remarkable life; and now there’s a much-praised “musical biography” out,

by British/American singer Nellie McKay. She’ll be performing the one-woman revue, titled A Girl Named Bill: The Life and Times of Billy Tipton, at 8 p.m. on Sunday, January 22 at Helsinki Hudson.

Known for her eccentric stylistic blend of cabaret, pop, rock, jazz and hip-hop, her lyrical wit and off-kilter humor, McKay has composed two previous musical bios: I Want to Live! the story of Barbara Graham, the third woman executed in the gas chamber at San Quentin; and Silent Spring: It’s Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature, an exploration in song of environmental pioneer Rachel Carson. She co-created and starred in the Off-Broadway hit Old Hats in 2013, and won Theatre World’s Janus Award in the Outstanding Debut Performance category in 2006 for her performance as Polly Peachum in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Broadway production of The Threepenny Opera.

McKay kicked off her recording career

pendent record label called Tops, from which a few tracks still survive.

But he turned down several offers to work in more prestigious and visible venues, and it wasn’t until his death that his three adopted children found out why this talented musician had shunned the spotlight (and doctors): Billy had been born, in 1914 in Oklahoma City, as Dorothy Lucille Tipton. She adopted a male persona in order to break into a music business that was still not very friendly to women performers, and went on to live as a man so persuasively that the two women with whom he had multi-year common-law marriages claimed never to have known that “Billy” was biologically female.

In these days when “gender fluidity” is all the rage, a Dorothy/Billy Tipton would doubtless find a comfortable place in the world with greater ease and less need for secrecy. But successfully carrying off some 50 years of public deception in the mid20th century must have been challenging indeed.

f you were spending this weekend as a guest at the Mohonk Mountain House, you wouldn’t have to worry so much about whether or not the weather will be friendly to winter sports activities. You’d have plenty to do indoors, because this is the Shawangunk Ridge resort’s third annual Film Focus Weekend. New Jersey’s traveling Black Maria Film Festival will be in residence, with lots of screenings scheduled from Friday afternoon right through Sunday morning.

But you don’t have to spring for the entire overnight package to enjoy a taste of what this themed weekend has to offer at Mohonk. A special price of $69.75 is being offered for a combination of dinner on Saturday plus admission to Film Focus Weekend’s headline event: a panel discussion on the state of documentary filmmaking, moderated by Alexander Heffner, host of the long-running Channel Thirteen television program The Open Mind.

The panel will feature Ric Burns, the slightly-less-famous half of the multi-award-winning documentarian Burns brothers. Ric was co-producer and writer on Ken Burns’ hugely successful PBS series The Civil War, and has been making plenty of excellent docs on his own over the past 30 years or so. Well known for his outstanding eight-part, 17 ½-hour history series, New York: A Documentary Film, which premiered in 1999, he’s now working on a ninth installment about New York City since 9/11, projected for completion in 2018.

Ric Burns’ work has won six Emmy Awards, two George Foster Peabody Awards, two Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Awards, three Writers’ Guild of America Awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Writing, the Eric Barnouw Award of the Organization of American Historians and the D. W. Griffith Award of the National Board of Review. Two of his works, Ansel Adams (2002) and The Pilgrims (2015), will be screened as part of the Film Focus Weekend programming.

Also on the panel with Burns and Heffner will be Seth Kramer of Garrison-based Ironbound Films (The Anthropologist), as well as Pegi Vail and Melvin Estrella (Gringo Trails). The talk will begin at 9 p.m. on Saturday, January 21. Advance reservations are required for this dinner/discussion package; call (855) 883-3798 or visit www.mohonk.com.

abiding and long-term residence in the Woodstock area. When a player and composer of the caliber and standing of Jack DeJohnette called Woodstock home and really meant it, his presence became a homing beacon for the jazz elite, including his brilliant Gateway Trio bandmates Dave Holland and John Abercrombie. A jazz iconoclast of the highest order, DeJohnette has long been a genuine, walking-the-talk community member as well.

On Friday, January 20, DeJohnette will reprise his August solo piano concert with another such performance at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts in Woodstock. While drummers are often (mis)understood to be the most musically specialized members of ensembles, Jack has been composing and releasing significant piano music at least since 1985’s coming-out, The Jack DeJohnette Piano Album. He was also the featured composer on Parallel Realities, a scintillating 1990 record with Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny.

A fundraising benefit for arts and social services in Woodstock, the January performance is dubbed a “Concert for Inner Peace.” Like so many of the players at his level (not that there are very many), DeJohnette has always understood

THE DEAD BEAT

The first intelligence czar How a Kingston-born lawyer became the Civil War spymaster The Dead Beat: An introduction No one dies without leaving a story for us to discover and savor. The Dead Beat intends to search out, find and report those stories. The story may reside in a survivor’s heart or a victim’s last words.

It may be legend or it may be fact. It may be recorded in stone or on yellowing newsprint. It may warm the heart or break it. It may explain a lifetime or illuminate a single moment in that lifetime. It may tell us more about the living than the dead, more about ourselves and the way we live than the way that others have died.

shows a sad-eyed, balding man with a drooping mustache wearing an ill-fitting Union officer’s uniform. He looks about as dynamic as a hound dog. But it was that very doggedness that made George Henry Sharpe the spymaster that he was.

He created and successfully oversaw America’s first intelligence agency, the Bureau of Military Information [BMI]; an operation that greatly hastened general Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox.

Sharpe’s modest family headstone in Kingston’s Wiltwyck Cemetery suggests an impressive life in the military. He was born in Kingston of well-to-do and influential parents. He was a successful lawyer when the war broke out. In 1862, he singlehandedly established the 900man 120th New York State Infantry, using his own money and influence. And while that may have been his most famous contribution to the war effort, it wasn’t his most important one.

Like most accounts of his life, his headstone makes no mention of Sharpe’s creation of the BMI, the country’s first and arguably most successful secret service. The BMI, after all, helped bring the Civil War to a close; the same can’t be said of its modern-day successor, the CIA – an agency better known for starting wars than ending them.

This is a sliver of a story about a man lost to history, a story known today only

by Civil War enthusiasts and local history buffs. But as journalist and author Stephen Budiansky wrote in the October 2004 edition of American Heritage magazine,

LOCATION:

Sharpe’s story continues to resonate today, more than a century after his death.

Sharpe lived in an age when being a spy – providing military intelligence during the Civil War – was the province of legend and lies, of dashing romantic heroes, heroines and villains. But the reality was otherwise: The Union forces had no formal military intelligence network. That was where Sharpe’s abilities came to bear on a war effort in which a Union victory was far from guaranteed. He became director of the BMI in 1863, and in the process created the thoroughgoing structure that modern intelligence agencies ignore at their – and the country’s – peril.

Here’s how Budiansky described Sharpe’s great achievement, quoting from a CIA historical report, in his story, “America’s Forgotten Intelligence Czar”: “Although he never had more than about 70 men on his full-time payroll and the intelligence challenge he faced was but a fraction of what a modern spymaster must confront, Sharpe nevertheless pioneered the fundamental principle

Sharpe’s approach to intelligence-gathering was praised by the CIA more than a century after his death.

which had their own intelligence about the 9/11 attackers, couldn’t, wouldn’t and didn’t do what Sharpe did: bring together and correlate relevant information from multiple disparate agencies in order to provide the fullest picture of what was happening.

Budiansky’s conclusion was clear: George Henry Sharpe’s dogged thoroughness had been instrumental in ending the Civil War. And the failure of latter-day spymasters to follow Sharpe’s example culminated in the beginning of what has come to be called the War on Terror.

with the Confederate surrender, was not reinstitutionalized until 1947, when the CIA was created.”

Budiansky used the Union’s critical victory at Gettysburg to illustrate the importance of Sharpe’s emphasis on the amassing of data from every conceivable source, rather than relying on any sort of derring-do. Sharpe’s approach, he said, provided the final key to the Union victory at Gettysburg.

Union forces had beaten back two days of desperate Rebel attacks. Major general George Meade, the new Union commander, didn’t know whether

his troops could take much more if Confederate general Robert E. Lee decided to renew his attack the next day. Fortunately for the Union cause, Sharpe had discovered a critical fact from information gleaned from 1,360 Confederate prisoners taken that day: “The prisoners came from nearly a

hundred different regiments, representing every single one of Lee’s brigades save only the four brigades of Pickett’s division, which was still coming up from the rear.

Lee, in other words, had no fresh troops left to throw into the fight but [major general George] Pickett’s lone division.”

Meade acted on Sharpe’s intelligence and decided that his troops would stand and fight. “The next day,” Budiansky wrote, “Pickett secured a name for himself in history synonymous with futile courage by sending his men charging against Union artillery – which mowed down two-thirds of them in half an hour.” The battle of Gettysburg was won. The war would soon be over.

Even after the war, Sharpe played a memorable and more commonly remembered role: As the newly appointed assistant provost marshal, he paroled 28,000 Confederate Army soldiers, among them general Robert E. Lee, following the surrender.

Sharpe’s approach to intelligencegathering was praised by the CIA more than a century after his death. John H. Lehman, a member of the commission that examined the mistakes surrounding 9/11, said at the time “We need to ensure the fusion and sharing of all intelligence that could have helped us to avoid 9/11.”

ART Action figure New Paltz prof & performance artist Thomas Albrecht makes art in real time

I

t's possible that incoming students at SUNY-New Paltz are unaware that the art world holds their professor Thomas Albrecht in high esteem. Perhaps that's because Albrecht focuses his creativity on work that disappears. Performance art occurs. And then it’s gone. It’s like a really good joke: You have to be there to experience its full impact.

“Students in art school often believe there’s a specific intention the artist has in a painting,” Albrecht explains. “What they discover quickly is that meanings are very fluid... One of the things about performance art is that somebody can view it and walk away, and have a radically different experience than I’ve intended.

I’ve had this happen, where someone’s walked up or contacted me afterward and said, ‘This is what this evoked in me.’

And it wasn’t in my sphere of making at all. But I think what they took from it was completely valid and important for them – especially if it challenged or provoked them, and they were able to care beyond that present moment and have it continue to live. That’s how the work lives.”

Albrecht received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, a Master of Arts in Religion from Yale University and his MFA from the University of Washington. At SUNY-New Paltz, he serves as assistant dean in the School of Fine and Performing Arts and associate professor in the Art Department.

In one of his recent performance pieces, Albrecht dressed in full business regalia and prostrated himself on a busy sidewalk.

His performance took him from a hotel room to the ocean, where he lay down in the sand, then walked into the water and out again, and on up the beach...

Performance artist Thomas Albrecht

Ann Hutton: What are you up to in that piece?

Thomas Albrecht: I was officially trained and am credentialed as a painter. When I was in grad school, I became more interested in materials – how materials would be used in making large-scale drawings, in particular. My artistic practice was to do very long durational drawings that were about covering up previous work and then uncovering it, like an excavation process. I’d work on a seven-by-sevenfoot drawing for a year, reduced down to very elemental materials I’d used since the beginning of my artmaking: gesso, graphite and paper, with the addition of some wax. I continued doing these beyond grad school and into my first teaching position, which was in the Midwest. The drawings became much more about time and were done on walls on a daily basis, with almost a ritual aspect.

There was also the intention that people would witness these activities by

me coming in at a designated time and literally marking the wall. We were heavily involved in Iraq, and the US military was very good at documenting how many deaths we had on our side. And then there was a website that attempted to track, with some sort of scientific accuracy, the

“On the public street, you have an expectation about how things are going to play out, but there’s no control” number of Iraqi deaths – both civilian and people in the military – based on reports from the area and newspaper outlets other than the US. So you had this complicated and messy side, and the US military deaths, which were very precise.

SUNY ULSTER ART GALLERY EVENT an eye, open Works by Petra Nimtz & Jessica Poser January 27 - February 17 Opening reception: Friday, January 27, 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Petra Nimtz is a German-born painter residing in Woodstock, NY. She states, “The paintings are an exploration of intuitive abstraction… they document visual diaries of my inner world. By using my left (nondominant) hand, I am able to avoid preconceived notions and create works that are fresh and imaginative.”

Jessica Poser creates mixed-media works that explore the psychodynamic intersections of natural and built environments and forms. Her work investigates the aesthetics of craft and the handmade as a means with which to draw connections between psychological and material processes.

Start Here. Go Far.

I decided to do a piece called Us and Them on two walls in a gallery space. I would go in daily and very systematically, with a ruler, track the US military deaths.

On the opposite side, I did the typical [four strokes and a slash], and those would get erased and drawn over. It was very messy. There was a separation between the two walls, but they stood side-byside for several months. And when the exhibition closed, the walls were painted over and that was gone. The local YMCA wanted me to continue the practice, and I continued for a year. That led to other wall drawings that were tracking bits of information.

That’s the element of time you’re talking about? It’s not a one-shot deal?

Yeah, it was less about the drawing than the marking of time... I was just trying to negotiate the things I felt couldn’t be done in a painting or in drawing...

When I arrived in New York, my intention was to return to painting. I was doing performative experiments on public streets, which were very different than the ones in galleries and museums. On the public street, you have an expectation about how things are going to play out, but there’s no control and you’re incredibly vulnerable. You’re a human being acting in the world, but in a very specific way. And you’re dealing with passersby and have no idea how people are going to react. So for me, coming from the Midwest with a Midwestern mentality [in which] you don’t disrupt things; you keep your head down and...

Be nice.

Yeah, be nice. And now you’re disrupting public space... There was one early performance in front of the Whitney Biennial in 2006 where I lay down in a beautiful suit on the pavement, and had a quick response from security, who called the police. They were concerned that I had somehow fallen down, or I was mentally ill. They were very kind. But those pieces, in retrospect, were very psychologically difficult because of the way I felt, not only during, but after. It was disrupting public

I pare it down. This is the way I work.

Other performance artists are much more concerned with the idea of spectacle and largeness. I’m trying to condense a certain kind of experience in a moment in time to its most essential. What can be communicated in a gesture, in what one says, in the most minimal way?

My working methods are very different than a lot of my colleagues. It varies from one artist to another, but from what I know about the people that I really respect making work right now, there’s always an essential idea that the artist works from: knowing that, once they are in a place with other human beings, those intentions are going to get mixed up in the messiness of life and in what people bring from their own emotional experiences. They begin to interpret the work and basically pull it apart. That’s not a horrible thing.

I’m obligated as a professor to document my performances. That’s my proof that I’ve made work. I would love it sometimes if it wasn’t. It’s a completely different thing. The photographs are beautiful, and it’s nice to have a record as an archive, but it’s not the thing... We exist with so many images. Our identities are constructed in very curated ways. My pushback as a performance artist is this: the image is not the thing.++ – Ann Hutton

T

wo new exhibitions open this Saturday afternoon at the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie, and both represent milestones for the historic 1830s brick townhouse on Noxon Street that serves as headquarters for the Dutchess County Art Association (DCAA). In the Crenson Gallery, the organization will launch its first-ever juried Members’ Show, curated by Lynn Palumbo, director of the Washington Art Gallery at Dutchess Community College.

That inaugural event follows in the footsteps of a very successful, long-running Barrett House tradition: Photowork, DCAA’s national juried photography exhibition that celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend. Among the 45 artists from 16 states selected for Photowork 2017 are three mid-Hudson artists: Mark Lyon of Marlboro, Karl Schmitz of Poughkeepsie and Marie Triller of Hopewell Junction.

This year’s photography jurors are Isaac Diggs, Rebecca Morse and Robert Stevens. Morse is an associate curator at the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Diggs and Stevens are both faculty members of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and Stevens is also a former photo editor of TIME Magazine. Expect a high standard of quality in this competitive exhibition, with 63 photographic works (from a field of more than 800 entries) representing a full spectrum of subjects and styles.

Jurors’ awards with cash prizes for Photowork 2017 will be announced at the opening reception, which runs from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 21 and is free and open to the public. Both shows will run through March 4.

The former home of WPA artist/DCAA founder Thomas Weeks Barrett, Jr., the Barrett Art Center is located at 55 Noxon Street in Poughkeepsie – not Noxon Road, but a short street connecting Market and Academy Streets downtown, just south of the Route 44/55 arterial.

space, and it was disrupting my own ideas about my place in the world as well – who I was and how I was acting.

Don’t you get confronted by that all the time? You’re doing this in a much more demonstrative way, but I’m thinking of responses I get from people about something I’ve written. It makes me stop and think, “Who am I really in this matter?” Is that what you intend to provoke, or are you just exploring?

Early on, I was posing questions for myself. There was a nice aspect of being unskilled and not knowing what I was doing. The actions were very intentional and specific, but you find out very quickly that you must adjust to the situation, adjust your intentions. It's the nature of identity, how one constructs identity constantly. We’re performing, right?

What I’ve discovered is that, while I’ve never wanted my artwork to be overtly about myself, as if I have something so important that I need to say to the world, I don’t think you can escape yourself in the making of your work, whether it’s something you write or say. I want the work to move well beyond my own body, which is the basis, the materiality of performance art: the presence of the artist. The art is not on the wall; it’s not the object or surface. It’s not even the idea.

It’s the live, physical body in time.

It’s not even the idea? When you conceive a performance, do you have a narrative in mind, something that you want to say?

Or is it all up for grabs?

Before that, I had grown up writing poetry for Show and Tell in elementary school and short stories of how I wished life had been in high school. I even earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing in fiction. Then, life happened. I was busy raising six children – including one with an intellectual disability – and homeschooling, and I never wrote anything but to-do lists and the occasional Christmas letter. I didn’t think about writing or the absence of it in my life.

“When I brought pen to paper at last, I knew I was filling a need to revisit this part of who I was. I started graduate school to work towards my Master’s degree in Creative Writing, and there I rediscovered my voice. Writing became a therapeutic

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

What’s good for the gooseberry Pruning out-of-season must be done carefully

S

now squall or not, I just had to get outside. Not enough snow for a crosscountry ski, but, after too much time indoors, I had to do something outside.

I was driven to break a fundamental rule of the garden: I pruned, and that’s a no-no. Pruning is best delayed until at least after the coldest part of winter is over – ideally closer to the time when warmth and sun are stirring buds to swell in preparation for their final burst. I did rationalize that any pruning now would leave me that much less to do amidst the hubbub of spring gardening activities.

I wasn’t indiscriminate in trespassing this Rule of Gardening. The plants that I pruned were gooseberries, which are very cold-hardy plants, so are unlikely to suffer any cold damage as a result of untimely pruning. Also, no need to wait, as is done with peaches, for growth to begin to see which branches have died back from winter cold; none ever do so on a gooseberry bush.

Pruning without spring breathing down my back made for a very relaxed pruning session. I had plenty of time to pay attention to details and prune a little differently from the way that I had in the past.

Gooseberries bear fruits on stems that are one, two, and three years old, so the usual method of pruning is to cut away any stems more than three years old and remove all but six of the sturdiest one-year-old stems. The pruned bush, then, is left with a halfdozen each of one-, two- and three-year-old stems. Each year a bush is renewed as oldest stems are removed, and new growth kept vigorous and healthy as excess young stems are thinned out.

The gooseberry bushes always bear many more berries than we can eat, and their weight bows the branches to the ground. So this year I decided also to prune each side branch on the older stems back to a couple of inches long. I’ll reap fewer berries, but those that remain should be larger and more accessible among the thorny stems.

If small, green and tart is your idea of a gooseberry, you’ve never tasted a so-called dessert gooseberry.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Gooseberry bush, before and after pruning

sweetened sieved gooseberries into whipped cream).

If small, green and tart is your idea of a gooseberry, you’ve never tasted a so-called dessert gooseberry. Dessert gooseberries are sweet and flavorful right off the bush; they are, as Edward Bunyard wrote almost a hundred years ago in The Anatomy of Dessert, “the fruit par excellence for ambulant consumption.� (He was from England, where gooseberries are more appreciated and known than here.)

Only certain gooseberry varieties warrant the label “dessert gooseberry,’ of which I grow about a dozen varieties. My favorites include Hinonmakis Yellow, Poorman, Black Satin, Webster, Red Jacket and Captivator. Their sweet flavors carry winy overtones and reminiscences of plum or apricot. Some have soft skins, others firm skins that explode with flavorful, sweet juice when you bite into them. I devoted a whole chapter to the history and varieties of gooseberries, as well as how to grow them and where to get them, in my book Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden (available from the usual sources and, from me and signed, at my website).

Frozen fingertips eventually drove me back indoors. But I’m now on a gardening roll, spurred on further by a box of seed packets that arrived in the mail.

Lettuce, claytonia and celery from the greenhouse have been filling our salad bowls all winter. As these plants wane or go to seed, we’ll need more. So today I sowed seeds of Black-Seeded Simpson, Romaine, Buttercrunch, Blushed Butter Cos and Majestic Red lettuces. Some I sprinkled into seedflats that can be kept warm for quick germination.

Some I sowed right in the ground beds in the greenhouse; they’ll germinate more slowly, but hold their quality longer than those that are pricked out from seedflats into “cells� and then into the garden.

NIGHT SKY

A new star in 2022?

The century ’s first naked -eye nova

T

hese days we keep hearing about “fake news.” The term even applies to the universe. Maybe fake is too strong a word. But the headline media stories that gain attention are often dismissed by actual astronomers. For example, you’ve heard “Supermoon,” but astronomers know that it’s just a catchy new term for when the Moon comes a bit closer than normal, which looks no different from any other Full Moon. Or you’ll read about an asteroid that “just barely missed Earth” while, in truth, its nearest approach was a million miles from us.

But this week, a news story really did have validity, and really does excite astronomers – even if it was duly accompanied by the mandatory exaggeration. An astronomy professor at a small Midwestern college, along with some of his students, predicted that an odd type of exploding star called a red nova would appear in our skies five years from now. It would be the first nakedeye nova in decades. And the mechanism behind it is fascinating as well.

This story really should be rewound ten years, to when several teams of astronomers closely monitored a distant star in the constellation Scorpius. This was a double star where the two components were so close together that they were actually touching, and whirling around each other every 1.4 days. What was strange is that the orbital period was rapidly decreasing, strongly indicating that the stars might actually merge. Well, it really happened: In 2008, a red nova occurred in that spot, and afterward only one star remained. The two had merged.

Actually, five years earlier, an astronomer predicted that a red nova is caused by the

Almanac Weekly’s Night Sky columnist Bob Berman in his observatory in Willow

merger of the members of a binary star system – so the 2008 Scorpius event confirmed that theory. This week’s big news is that it’s happening again.

This time, the double star is just off the right wing-tip of Cygnus the Swan. This binary star is extremely faint – 12th magnitude – and from the way the orbit is speeding up from the current 11 hours, that Midwestern astronomer predicts that they will merge in the year 2022, give or take half a year. It will be another red nova.

Because this star system is 1,800 light-years away – which is six times closer than that Scorpius star – the nova should be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Of course, since the media still felt the need to exaggerate, some news stories proclaim that it will be the brightest star in the sky. While not impossible, it’s far more likely to be second magnitude: the same brightness as the stars of the Big Dipper. Still, this will be amazing, especially if you know enough backyard astronomy to recognize Cygnus’ shape and be excited by a new star that will extend its right wing. (Since some news stories are saying that it’s the Swan’s left wing, let me mention that yes, if you’re the Swan, it would be your left wing; but for us down below looking at it, it’s the wing on the right side: the wing closest to the famous bright summer star Vega.)

We’ll watch that spot every night – especially starting four years from now.

Notso-oldschool Audra McDonald headlines annual Vassar Modfest

I

nstitutions of higher learning are oft-criticized for focusing too much on keeping alive the intellectual and legacies of dead white males. Since 2003, America’s oldest degree-granting educational institution for women, Vassar College, has been fighting that label with an annual festival dedicated to exploring and celebrating the arts of the 20th and 21st centuries.

“Raising Voices” is the theme of Modfest 2017, and anyone who was energized by the politicized acceptance speech delivered by Vassar alumna Meryl Streep at the Golden Globes Awards may want to check it out

“An Afternoon with Audra McDonald,” will be held on Sunday, February 5 at 3 p.m. at Skinner Hall. Online reservations are required to attend this performance by, and conversation with, the celebrated soprano and social activist. Known primarily for her triumphant portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, McDonald has won six Tony Awards, two Grammys and an Emmy, and received the National Medal of Arts. Vassar Department of Film professor Mia Mask will interview the Broadway star onstage following her recital.

It’s called Modfest, and it brings together students, faculty members and outside artists (such as Pulitzer Prizewinning composers Yehudi Wyner, Steve Reich and David del Tredici) for a week-anda-half of residencies, performances and exhibitions, all free and open to the general public.

This year’s Modfest – the 15th annual – honors the retirements of its co-founders, Adene and Richard Wilson, with a special concert of contemporary compositions by Vassar faculty members at the Skinner Hall of Music, on Saturday, January 28

at 8 p.m. But the uncontested headliner for the festival will be “An Afternoon with Audra McDonald,” wrapping things up on Sunday, February 5 at 3 p.m. at Skinner Hall. Online reservations are required to attend this performance by, and conversation with, the celebrated soprano and social activist. Known primarily for her triumphant portrayal of Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, McDonald has won six Tony Awards, two Grammys and an Emmy, and received the National Medal of Arts this past September. Vassar Department of Film professor Mia Mask will interview the Broadway star onstage following her recital.

“Raising Voices” is the theme of Modfest 2017, and anyone who was energized by the politicized acceptance speech delivered by Vassar alumna Meryl Streep at last week’s Golden Globes Awards may want to check out the programs focusing on that theme. Two exhibitions, “Engage!

The Artist’s Voice” and “The World after January 20, 2017,” will anchor the series.

“These exhibitions reflect the perspectives of faculty, students, and staff across campus in response to recent events,” says Tom Pacio, Modfest co-director and interdisciplinary arts coordinator.

Running at the Old Bookstore in the College Center from January 26 to February 5, “Engage! The Artist’s Voice” is an exhibit of historical and contemporary printed works of protest, vision and social engagement by artists for the greater good. It features works from 1945 to the present, highlighting such national and global issues as World War II, the Civil Rights movement, environmental sustainability and economic equality. “The World after January 20, 2017: Works by Contemporary Artists and Poets” opens at the College Center’s Palmer Gallery with a 5 p.m. reception on Thursday, February 2 and will remain on view beyond the official end of Modfest, until February 16.

It will feature poetry, political cartoons, documentary photography, drawings and paintings by Gerardo Castro, Monica D. Church, Michaela Coplen, Judith Nichols,

Peter Steiner, Virginia Lavado, Sam Vernon and others that address, reflect and comment on what the first 100 days of the Trump presidency might mean.

Another Modfest highlight will be “Connecting Voices,” a talk by artist Ann Daly about her ongoing collaboration with Spanish musician Álvaro Marcos, a stalwart of the post-Franco Madrid punk scene. Justin Patch and Katherine Hite, professors of Music and Political Science, respectively, at Vassar, will moderate the discussion, beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 2 in the College Center’s Old Bookstore. Additional events will include an Opening Night concert on January 26; “Raising Healing Voices,” a presentation on music therapy on the 27th; a recital by the Vassar Repertory Dance Theatre on February 3; and a Cabaret Night on February 4, among others.

For the full lineup, including venues and start times, or to reserve a seat for the Audra McDonald event, visit www.vassar. edu. The Vassar College campus is located at 124 Raymond Avenue in Poughkeepsie.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
