Welcome

AFCC Staff: Kevin Shanley, Wendy O’Keefe, Marianne Williams, Julie Wake

n the last day of June, we invited Hyannis Sound to our office to perform live for our Arts Cape Cod Facebook page. Despite what you may think, it was a relatively unusual occurrence; we don’t often have artists come showcase their talents for us.

But we thought it would be fun and different to have the all-male a capella group entertain us as we ushered in the height of the summer season on the Cape. I’m not sure what my staff and I were expecting, but the group, full of enthusiastic baby-faced college students and recent college grads, left us ready to move mountains following their rendition of George Michael’s “Freedom.”

It’s a feeling that I hope you experience tonight as we welcome the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra back to Hyannis for the 32nd Annual Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea. With conductor Keith Lockhart once again leading the Pops, they will pay tribute to seminal film composer, John Williams. I’m confident each one of you will be touched by a glimmer of inspiration.

And, ultimately, isn’t that what we all want out of art - for it to move us in ways that can’t be explained?

Historically, the Pops has always been one of those “you have to be there” concerts to truly understand its magic. But once you’re here, that magic is pervasive, from the pre-show entertainment to the musical guest to the guest conductor.

While we embrace that special magic tonight, your attendance at the Pops allows us to share it with countless others throughout the year. From high school students in the mid-Cape to seniors in Barnstable experiencing memory loss to Cape Codders diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, our recent round of grants enabled us to fund programs that have exposed the beauty, wonder, and magic of the arts to those of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities here on Cape Cod. Your support of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, not only tonight, but year-round, ensures that more people will experience moments like we did at the end of June. And in doing so, we’re inspiring them to move mountains together.

Pops by the Sea 2017

A SIT DOWN WITH JERRY SARGENT

Jerry Sargent, President of Citizens Bank in Massachusetts, with last year’s guest conductors Blue Man Group

Citizens Bank has been an active partner in the community throughout the years. Why is this important to your organization?

Citizens Bank supports the communities where our colleagues live and work through a variety of programs that teach financial literacy, fight hunger, and strengthen local communities. Our colleagues are very active in the community and donate thousands of hours volunteering at nonprofits. Volunteering with the bank’s nonprofit partners gives our employees a sense of purpose, both at work and in their home life. Whether they’re serving meals at a local food pantry or planting flowers in a public park, our colleagues truly enjoy helping others and the environment where they live and work – it’s a win for everyone.

Citizens Bank has been a strong supporter of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea since 2013. What has this partnership meant to the bank and to your colleagues?

The partnership with the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod is a special one for us. The Arts Foundation is doing exceptional work to bring public art, music and other activities to Cape Cod and the Islands. The Cape is a special place any time of year, but especially during the summer, it is great to be part of Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea and to welcome this concert to Hyannis. It is something we’re very proud of. We’re able to connect with customers and colleagues during the concert and share this great experience that is open for everyone to attend.

You personally have been attending Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea for five years. What do you enjoy most about it? Do you have any personal favorite memories?

The Cape is one of my favorite places to go during the summer, and Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea makes it all the more worthwhile. In my role as Massachusetts president for Citizens Bank, I travel around to different community events and I also spend a lot of time meeting with clients throughout the state, but there is something magical about visiting the Cape for a Pops concert on a warm summer evening. I have personally enjoyed the wide range of guest conductors, such as Emmy award-winning Blythe Danner to one of my favorite interviewers of all time – Charlie Rose. I also recall memorable performances by local stars Ashley Brown and American Idol finalist Siobhan Magnus. The Blue Man Group made a wonderful guest conductor last summer, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this year!

This year, the Pops will celebrate the music of the renowned John Williams. We all have a favorite movie – what’s yours? Any musicians or artists in your family?

John Williams has written the musical scores for so many blockbuster movies of the last several decades. From Star Wars to Superman, and Jurassic Park to Harry Potter, it’s hard to pick a favorite among so many memorable movies and movie scores. In keeping with the Cape Cod theme, I might have to lean toward Jaws as a classic favorite, though I don’t think everyone on the Cape loves the idea of sharks these days. As far as my family goes, my daughter is a dancer, and supporting the arts has always been important both for me personally and for Citizens. artsfoundation.org

A Letter From Our Board Chair

Rana Murphy

he majority of my professional career has been focused in the banking industry. In many ways, it’s a field not unlike the one this year’s guest conductor, Dr. Gregory Skomal, a world renowned shark expert, has pursued his entire adult life.

There tends to be a misconception that both the scientific and financial worlds lack any tangible footing in the creative. It’s a left-brained argument that assumes cognitive processes can be boiled down to a zero-sum game.

Dr. Skomal is proof that this assumption is wrong. Yes, he is a marine biologist, conducting scientific research in the field. But he is also a photographer. He is a writer. And with his own IMDB page and multiple appearances on the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, he is an actor, someone who must be able to communicate, entertain, and be comfortable on screen.

At the beginning of this year, PBS reported a pilot program was being introduced using the arts to motivate children in dozens of underperforming schools across the country. At one of those schools in New Orleans, Oscar-nominated actress Alfre Woodard volunteered her time working with students and teachers.

Why did she do so? Because, in her own words, “Art completes not only the education, but it completes the human being, our ability to create, and to express that creation.”

Shortly after that story came out, the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy & Practice released the results of a study that found arts and culture improved health, safety, and well-being in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods in New York City.

At the AFCC, we know that arts and culture don’t operate in a silo here on Cape Cod. We know the arts are interconnected with the fisheries, science, health, tourism, history, and education which is why the 18 grants we funded this past year crossed paths with all of these sectors. The $25,000 we awarded went to such initiatives as a touch-and-feel art class for those who are blind and sight-impaired; a film series for children and adults with autism; and art workshops, lessons, and mentoring for at-risk youth.

Through our Fellowship Program, we were able to recognize three local artists, providing them with the financial support they need to live, work, and thrive here on Cape Cod. And we introduced the Creative Exchange, a one-day conference aimed at connecting our working artists with the resources they need to nurture their talents.

With your support, the AFCC is strengthening our community and the individuals who live here. We do it because the arts are necessary. And we do it because we know that art completes each one of us as human beings.

Dr. Gregory Skomal Guest Conductor

hat’s scarier, swimming with great white sharks or conducting the Boston Pops?

If you’re marine biologist Dr. Gregory Skomal, the answer is easy. “I feel a lot more comfortable around sharks than being up on stage,” he laughed. “I’ve been doing this shark stuff a long time. It’s my 30th anniversary with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries this year so I’ve gotten really comfortable around them. This event is probably going to take me out of my comfort zone a little bit.”

Despite that uncertainty, this year’s guest conductor for the 32nd Annual Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea knows that like the great white sharks he studies, Cape audiences (probably) won’t harm him.

“I absolutely can’t wait,” Dr. Skomal said. “I’m deeply honored. I’m wondering what it’s going to be like to be up there with a baton in my hand, thinking, ‘Now what do I do?’”

Part of his excitement resides in the fact that this year’s Pops will pay tribute to movie composer John Williams who wrote the score to a film that changed his life – “Jaws.”

“That was a film that pushed me into the water,” he admitted. “It inspired me to be a marine scientist and concentrate on sharks…. The more scientists, marine scientists and underwater photographers I meet, the more I realize I’m not alone. There’s a great documentary that deals with how ‘Jaws’ changed the world and highlights people like me who were drawn to the ocean by that film.”

When it comes to great whites, there may be no scientist more famous than Dr. Skomal, thanks in large part to his multiple appearances on the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. In the documentaries he has appeared in, there is an almost childlike enthusiasm to how he approaches his work.

“Every day I’m on the water never gets old to me,” he said last month, when he and his crew had already tagged their third great white of the season. “Even

though I see the same sharks, I think to myself, ‘Wow, that is just an amazing animal. Just an absolutely amazing animal.’ There is a childhood fascination I have had with sharks that I don’t think I’ll ever shake.”

Despite being a scientist, Dr. Skomal’s work often delves into the creative as a photographer, writer, and public speaker. For him, the intersection between science and art is much closer than you would think.

“Science is important because it teaches us about ourselves and our planet,” he said. “I think art is equally important because it allows us to be creative, to educate, and to inspire. If I got up in front of an audience and my talk was purely scientific, I would lose people very quickly. But if I show them a dazzling video or a photo and get creative in my conversation, then I connect with them at an emotional level. That’s what art does – it taps into that emotional reservoir where you’re able to connect with people.”

“That’s what art does – it taps into that emotional reservoir where you’re able to connect with people.”

The Creative Genius Behind “Discipline and Passion”

A

Jackie Reeves Jeffrey and Nancy Bilezikian, along with daughters Frida and Beatrice, the new owners of “Discipline and Passion.”

rt doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, something that painter Jackie Reeves counts in brush strokes.

This year’s Pops by the Sea artist, Reeves spent several months in her Barnstable studio, drawing inspiration for her 2017 commemorative painting from a likely source – the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Listening to their music, Reeves channeled the orchestra’s sound into a rich palette of colors, lines, and shapes.

It was a process of trial and error; on some days, she placed abstract images onto paper. On other days, it was more concrete as Reeves crafted scenes of musicians playing instruments. The final result is a stunning combination of the two, all wrapped up in the colorful, creative vision of one of the Cape’s most dazzling artists.

Born and raised in Montreal, Reeves studied design art at Concordia University, graduating with a BFA in 1990. In 2012, she received her MFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

She arrived on Cape Cod in 1995 with her husband Bruce; the couple lives in Sandwich where they are raising three daughters.

Reeves’s budding years were spent as a commercial artist with a focus on graphic design, illustration, and

mural painting for corporate, private and public spaces.

Since Reeves received her MFA, her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the country, from Cape Cod to Vermont to Pennsylvania to Washington DC to North Carolina. She has been featured in numerous publications, including the Boston Globe, Art New England, and Artscope Magazine, which named her one of the “25 artists that have captured our imagination.”

Reeves, who works out of Chalkboard Studio in Barnstable Village, uses drawing, painting, and collage to bring together figurative and abstract elements in her art. “I start my paintings abstractly and build up layers of thin paint, using methods that purposefully create unexpected results. By spilling, pouring, dragging, pressing, and dripping paint, I am forcing myself to let go of control and allow the nature of the medium take over,” she said. “It’s a dance between me and the paint, a series of steps involving letting loose and reining in.

For me, this is a very exciting way to work because a blank canvas becomes a road trip to somewhere I have never been before, a one-time-only experience that stretches the limits of my imagination where anything can happen.”

Honorary Chair Sheldon Stewart

Kevin Shanley, AFCC’s Director of Operations and Events and Sheldon Stewart of Stewart Painting

he 32nd Annual Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea doesn’t happen overnight. It requires months of planning and preparation and the dedication of countless individuals who do the sometimes small, thankless tasks that can get overlooked by audiences.

This year’s Honorary Chair, Sheldon Stewart of Centerville, is a perfect example. Without him and his dedicated staff at Stewart Painting, the Pops would not be possible.

Over the past seven years, Stewart and his crew have developed a routine the day before the event. It starts with an early morning breakfast before they depart to the Hyannis Village Green where the work begins. They split up into small crews, each tackling a section of the Green where they set up the chairs, tents, tables, gates, and walkways that provide a sense of comfort and order to the Pops backdrop.

It’s a behind-the-scenes moment that is not glamorous, but is necessary for the show to go on. “We honestly could not do the event without his help,” AFCC Executive Director Julie Wake said. “Sheldon deserves this recognition. He makes the enormous job that he

14

takes on look easy. His team brings enthusiasm and thoughtfulness to the task.”

As the Honorary Chair, Sheldon, who will be accompanied by his wife Salijane and their two daughters, Shayla and Shelby, will be led out to his table by the Cape Youth Orchestra. The orchestra will be filling in for last year’s Honorary Chair Lt. David Cameron, a bagpiper who traditionally joins the Colum Cille Pipes & Drums in leading out the guest of honor. (Cameron will be out of town this year.)

Sheldon’s commitment to the arts and the community goes well beyond the one day he devotes to the Pops.

He currently sits on the Pops by the Sea Steering Committee; has regularly donated a week of painting that has been auctioned off at the AFCC’s Spring Soiree; helps maintain the appearance of the Cotuit Center for the Arts; and donates $10 from each power wash his company does to the Cape & Islands United Way. As a lifelong Cape Codder, he understands the importance of giving back to this place where he grew up, where he started his own company, and where he raised a family. “We live in this community, we should give back to it,” he said.

Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea T-Shirt Design Competition

Nick Glaser with art teacher Jennifer Finan and fellow student and honorable mention Circle Yuan all from St. John Paul II High School

ach year, in preparation for the Pops, the AFCC puts out a public call to student artists across the region, from 5th through 12th grade, seeking original artistic creations for the official commemorative T-shirt design. The winning design is worn by volunteers on the day of the concert and is available for purchase during the show.

For the second time in three years, Nicholas Glaser a senior at St. John Paul II High School in Hyannis, has had his original artwork chosen as the design for the AFCC’s Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea T-shirt.

Over the past four years, Glaser’s submissions have placed in the top two; his 2015 piece was featured on the T-shirt for the 30th Annual Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea. He has been the recipient of several awards, including the Scholastic Art Award gold and silver keys and two Federal Junior Duck Stamp Awards; he was also highlighted in Cape Cod Art Magazine last year as a young emerging artist.

Glaser was recently accepted into the Rhode Island School of Design and plans on pursuing a career in the arts. “I have been interested in art ever since I can remember,” he said. “I have always wanted to be an artist and have put my time and effort into making that happen.”

Sponsored by the Coca Cola Bottling Company of Cape Cod, the competition rewards Glaser with a cash award and a donation to the art department at St. John Paul II High School. Barnstable High School junior Marc Korab and Falmouth High School senior Jackson Chorches, who placed second and third in the competition, will also receive cash awards and donations to their respective school’s art department.

The following students earned honorable mentions in this year’s competition: Barnstable High School sophomore Liam Sives; Barnstable High School sophomore Lillian Duchesney; Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School sophomore Madison Brun; Falmouth High School senior Colton Lubbe; St. John Paul II High School senior Circle Yuan; St. John Paul II High School junior Lila Baker; St. John Paul II High School freshman Gabriela Francescon; and Falmouth High School senior Kevin Shimansky.

AFCC’s Winter Art

AFCC’S WINTER ART

Where art transforms students into engaged learners and active thinkers.

Winter Art is the AFCC’s annual member art exhibit that takes place at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. The 2018 exhibit is titled Sensory Overload and will feature local artists’ interpretations of that theme.

Established and emerging local artists submit art for consideration by a jury. The exhibit opens with an invitation-only reception in January 2018 and runs through February 2018.

Each year local schools bring hundreds of students to visit the exhibit. The art is displayed at a lower height – right at children’s eye level – and some of the artists drop in to discuss their works with the students as they tour the exhibit. The visit is accompanied by a hands-on workshop in the Art Barn, where students create their own piece inspired by the exhibition.

Jack Burns Patron Supporter and general manager of Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Cape Cod

Why I Support the Arts

is official title may be general manager of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Cape Cod, but Jack Burns is as much a musician as he is a businessman. “Music has been a part of my whole life,” he said. “I know its value and how it’s helped me. Even though my present position isn’t a musical one, performing in public has given me confidence.”

That is just one of many benefits the arts has provided Burns. And now he is trying to share that gift with others. Burns and Coca-Cola are doing so as Bronze Patrons of the AFCC. The company has taken its patronage of the arts a step further by sponsoring the AFCC’s annual T-shirt design contest, which encourages Cape students to create original artwork that is used as the official Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea T-shirt design. The top three students, and their respective school art departments, receive a cash prize from Coca-Cola as an incentive for their work.

“This is an opportunity to support the kids and give a little back to the schools,” Burns said.

When asked why supporting the arts is so important, Burns replied, “because it helps enrich people’s lives.”

As a longtime drummer who has played in several

artsfoundation.org

local bands, Burns spoke about what music has meant to him. “I’m not presently playing, and there are days I do miss it,” he said. “I miss making the music. I miss the camaraderie of being in a band and those special moments when the band is on and really clicking. It’s a great experience.”

It’s a feeling that Burns wants others to experience.

So he chose to strengthen the bond between his company and the AFCC, building upon the relationship that his predecessor at Coca-Cola, John Kayajan, started.

“John was one of the ones who was instrumental in getting Pops by the Sea started,” Burns said.

Now Burns and Coca-Cola are continuing that commitment to the arts. “By supporting the AFCC, we have a much broader impact on the Cape arts scene, especially with the programs they have that involve the schools and the children,” he said.

“I thought this would be a great partnership and a great opportunity to give back to the community.”

Pops by the Sea 2017

Thank You, Lynne Poyant!

S

Lynne and Mike Wallace

ince 1989, Lynne Poyant has gone above and beyond for the AFCC, serving as president, chair, volunteer coordinator, and once, even dinner companion to Pops by the Sea guest conductor Julia Child. Though she has stepped into a number of diverse roles over the past 28 years, Poyant has always remained a key player in the foundation’s growth and evolution.

Poyant first came on board as a volunteer coordinator for the 3rd annual Pops by the Sea concert in 1989, when the AFCC was just getting its start.

She was instrumental in planning decades of Pops by the Sea events, as well as developing the foundation’s vision and extending its support to artists and cultural initiatives of all disciplines. A Cape Cod resident since 1972, Poyant currently serves as the Town of Barnstable’s Director of Community Services.

Recently, Poyant stepped down from the AFCC’s Board of Directors, but remains passionate about its mission. “The Cape is so blessed to be home to so many different people who share their talents with us,” she says. “What the Arts Foundation does is important, but also a lot of fun.”

artsfoundation.org

Among Poyant’s favorite memories are meeting guest conductor Julia Child for dinner at The Paddock restaurant in Hyannis, and helping the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra play a prank on guest conductor Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes. Even when recalling the torrential rainstorm that swept across the Hyannis Village Green at the 2011Pops, Poyant looks back fondly. “A group of hardy Cape Codders came out to support the event, and we all had a spectacular time,” she remembers.

AFCC Executive Director Julie Wake praised Poyant’s dedication, and passion for the organization.

“Lynne has been with the AFCC since its earliest days and helped chart its path to success. With her support and enthusiasm over the years, the foundation has blossomed into a vibrant nonprofit. We’re very grateful for Lynne and all that she’s contributed,” said Wake.

AFCC Board of Directors Chair Rana Murphy echoed Wake’s sentiments. “Lynne was an instrumental part of the creation and success of the Arts Foundation, especially the Pops by the Sea event,” said Murphy. “Her dedication, passion, and historical knowledge truly helped shape the AFCC . We wish her the best as she continues to support the Cape community in other leadership roles. “

Sing for Joy

AFCC Grants at Work

W

ith all apologies to laughter, it may be singing that is indeed the best medicine. And inside the Cape Conservatory, a group of more than 20 residents living with Parkinson’s disease are proof of that.

They meet nearly every Monday, coming together to sing such familiar tunes as “The House of the Rising Sun,” “La Vie en Rose,” and “Blue Bayou,” all under the watchful eye of music director Joe Dudzinski, who accompanies them on the piano.

During their final session in June, Dudzkinski led them in these and several other selections that included “Tomorrow” from the play “Annie.” Looking at sheet music, the week’s contingent of 13 sing in unison: The sun will come out tomorrow, Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow There’ll be sun The group has been gathering since 2015, taking part in a program that has been appropriately titled Sing for Joy. “Our mission is to inspire joy through the arts,” said Conservatory Executive Director Stephanie Weaver.

“If this program doesn’t do that, I don’t know what does. It’s the best example of joy I can think of at the conservatory.”

This past year, the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod partially funded the program, understanding its importance to the community and those it serves.

They are people like Dr. John Tudor of Falmouth, who started developing symptoms of Parkinson’s in 2007. He has been singing with the group for nearly a year and a half. “It is tremendous to see people having the same kinds of difficulties as I do and how well we can do together,” he said.

“It is very supportive.”

artsfoundation.org

Yarmouthport’s Peter Lipp termed the group “a fellowship… It gives you a sense of community.”

He also noted the health benefits of singing, especially for those with Parkinson’s. It was a sentiment shared by both Weaver and Dudzinski. “In some studies, there have been instances that showed singing one hour a week for a 16-week session delayed any further decline in voice, speech, and swallowing,” for those with Parkinson’s, Dudzinski said.

Whether the singing is delaying the disease for anyone in the group is unclear. But what is abundantly clear is the joy it gives to those who participate in it. It can be witnessed, Dudzinski said, in the smiles he sees on a weekly basis on the singers’ faces. “This is not evidence-based stuff, but you can see people are happy doing it,” he said.

“I love to sing,” Lipp said, supporting that notion.

Standing next to him, his caregiver chimed in that Lipp constantly talks about the singing group. He is constantly thinking about Mondays at the Conservatory, where he can sing about such things as the sun coming up tomorrow.

Cape Rep Theatre AFCC Grants at Work

n the surface, the life of a fisherman may seem simple – go out on a boat and catch fish.

What Alison Weller of South Orleans has found since last fall is that it is anything but. “I’ve learned it’s this extremely complex, extremely fluid situation that changes all the time,” she said. “Where it was once sort of a simple equation in the way of going out and taking what we wanted, in terms of hunting and gathering, now fishermen are facing so many complications on so many different levels. Now the really hard question is how does the community go on and figure out a sustainable way to keep fishing and be successful.”

These are details Weller and a small contingent of fellow actors from Brewster’s Cape Rep Theatre have unearthed thanks to a grant from the AFCC. The group has been meeting with those in the fishing community to better understand the work they do and the challenges they face with the goal of turning parts of those conversations into a play that will premiere in November.

Owen Nichols, director of the marine fisheries research program at the Center for Coastal Studies, has served as a conduit to connecting the theatre group with those in the fishing industry.

They have sat down with nearly 40 people, including representatives from the Fishing Partnership in Chatham, the Northwest Atlantic

Marine Alliance in New Bedford, and the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance in Chatham, as well as State Representative Sarah Peake, and several local fishermen.

Nichols has also provided background on the struggles facing fishermen due to environmental and regulatory changes.

This past November, Weller and four of her fellow thespians performed a few segments from the interviews they had already conducted as part of a first look that included a conversation with the audience afterwards.

Watching the fisheries and the arts collide, Nichols said, has been fascinating. “To see it captured in emotion, whether through enthusiasm or despair, and to see it captured on stage is pretty powerful,” he said.

It’s a way of using art to not only facilitate discussion, but provide insight into an industry that has been such a large part of Cape Cod’s identity. “We’re named after a fish which is not caught off the Cape very much at all. This is a way of bringing people to talk about bigger issues because this is something happening right here and it’s close to us,” Weller said. “I think it’s important for art to keep engaging with social issues like this.”

Strengthening the Dennis-Yarmouth Music Program AFCC Grants at Work

W

Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School Chair Alex Pendleton, String Orchestra Director Kerry Cutler, Choral Music Director Stephanie Riley, and Band Director Raymond Castano.

hen nearly 30 percent of your students come from an economically disadvantaged background, private music lessons aren’t typically an option. They

are a luxury.

That is exactly the predicament that the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School Music Department found themselves in this past year. So their choral music director, Stephanie Riley, applied for and successfully received a $2,400 grant from the AFCC to help fill this void.

“If you don’t have private and group instruction, it holds you back,” Riley said.

The AFCC’s support enabled the high school to remove this obstacle for over 200 students in eighth through twelfth grades, providing them with private and small group music instruction on a weekly basis this past year.

“It’s been a huge difference for us,” Riley said. “For example, vocally, we had a larger number of students audition and qualify for festival ensembles this year.”

Patricia Butcher, a soon-to-be junior, is one such student. A member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society, she has spent the past three years singing as a means of expression. “I feel like music allows me to express things which I really can’t do in history or math. It’s a nice outlet for me,” she said, noting that during times when she is experiencing a range of emotions such as anger or sadness, “I’ll play my piano or start singing, and it kind of calms me down.”

42

This past year’s extra voice lessons, partially funded through the AFCC grant, did even more than that. “It helped me build my confidence, not only in my singing voice, but in wanting to audition for music festivals,” Butcher said, earning her a spot in the All-Cape Music Festival.

She plans on honing her vocal skills over the next two years so she can continue to sing once she moves on to college.

As for Riley, she is appreciative of the AFCC’s support for students like Butcher. “Knowing there’s an organization like the AFCC in our own backyard willing to back up our kids is phenomenal,” she said.

Riley also knows that it has helped shine a light on the pockets of poverty that exist on Cape Cod which necessitate the need for outside funding such as this.

“I was very fortunate. I grew up in New York state,” she said.

“They have private lessons in band, orchestra, and chorus once a week all the way through high school. In Massachusetts, students don’t get that opportunity past seventh grade.”

Why is this type of instruction important? “Music is huge in keeping kids engaged and it exercises both parts of the brain simultaneously,” Riley explained. “It’s linked to improving scores in math and science. And it gives students an outlet when they’re so stressed out. It also gives them that little chance to be creative.”

Program A Beacon of Light for Cape Seniors AFCC Grants at Work

O

Barnstable Senior Center program assistant Mariann Mosher, art therapist Barbara Greenspan, program assistant Cindy McCann, program coordinator Stacey Cullen, and assistant director Donna-Marie Burns.

n an overcast day in the middle of July, a dozen Barnstable residents diligently painted six-inch by sixinch tiles, putting their own individual stamp on each one inside the quiet confines of the town’s senior center.

When complete, the separate tiles – 24 in total – will be glazed, fired, framed, and hung as a permanent fixture in the center. The pieces will come together to create a typical Cape scene, featuring a lighthouse on a beach with a sailboat in the background.

But the mural will represent much more than a piece of art; it will serve as a beacon of light for what seniors, some suffering from memory loss, can accomplish when given the chance.

It’s an accomplishment that the AFCC has played a small role in, by providing a grant to the Barnstable Adult Day Program to help fund opportunities like this.

In some cases, these opportunities can initially be overwhelming for participants. This is where art therapist Barbara Greenspan comes in, showing them that the impossible is possible.

artsfoundation.org

“When I told them we’d be working on this project, they said, ‘No way we can do that.’ I told them, ‘I have a feeling you can,’” she said. “It gives them the sense they can do something and it increases their self-esteem. And it shows them they can actually produce something that they feel proud of.”

These benefits occur in what Donna-Marie Burns, assistant director at the senior center, described as “a safe place and dignified environment” for a segment of the Cape community’s elderly population who often are unable to stay at home during the day.

Exposing them to activities that incorporate music, painting and crafts, Burns said, is important, serving as a means to both relax and stimulate them. “No matter what your age or your physical ability or memory capacity, art can have a powerful influence on someone’s quality of life,” she said, something that is particularly true for those diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

“We find incorporating things like music or art or any of the creative avenues gives people the opportunity to express things which they can no longer do cognitively.”

Murals Breathe Life into Dennis Port AFCC Grants at Work

T

he village of Dennis Port may be small in stature, but these days it is a thriving section of Cape Cod thanks to a revitalization effort that has focused not only business and commerce, but art.

It began in 2012 with a mural on a brick wall facing Hall Street, featuring an old-fashioned schooner, representing the type that had once docked in Dennis Port. In 2015, the village added to its street art with a second mural on an even larger wall in the municipal parking lot; this one featured several sunfish sailing on the water.

A third is going up in Pocket Park that will evoke memories of a simpler time. It will feature a vintage postcard with the word Dennis Port on it. Inside each letter will be images depicting bygone eras of old Dennis Port, including Sea View Playland’s Barn of Fun and a street scene from the 1950s when the area was once bustling.

In 1985, the bustling nature of the village took a turn for the worse when Patriot Square went in on Route 134 in South Dennis. “It sounded the death knell,” said Don Robitaille, chair of the Dennis Port Revitalization Committee. “Everybody went to

artsfoundation.org

the mall and abandoned downtown Dennis Port which was in a state of disrepair for 10, 15, 20 years.”

In the 1990s, the town began to look for ways it could revitalize Dennis Port, forming a committee that, in recent years, has chosen to focus on art as part of its work. Hans de Castellane has been the artist responsible for that arm of the committee’s focus, designing each one of the murals which have been funded, in part, by grants from the AFCC. “The AFCC has been very supportive of all three murals,” Robitaille said. “They have been very generous.”

While de Castellane has been the creative force behind the murals, he has employed local students to help him with the implementation.

He will do so once again, painting alongside them as they help turn a blank wall into something beautiful. “I’m seeking out kids who are really enthusiastic about art, who want to learn and want to be a part of a project like this,” he said, adding that “I would have loved to have done something like this when I was a kid.”

One of the most rewarding aspects of his job is being able to instill a love of art in others through teaching. “I teach because kids remind me how lucky I am to do this for a living,” he said. “And when you teach a kid to paint, it is like teaching them magic.”

Together, de Castellane and a few lucky students will create that magic through this month and into September when he anticipates the project will be completed.

When finished, the mural will breathe even more life into the resurgent village. “Out of all the murals this one will resonate the most,” said de Castellane. “There are a lot of folks who were really proud of Dennis Port back in the day and were sad to see it fall off. This [mural] is paying tribute to that golden era.”

Keith Lockhart of Williams’s compositions from the 1960s onward, some of which can be considered rarities. Keith Lockhart’s increased focus on musical theater has attracted leading Broadway artists to the Pops stage. He has worked closely with hundreds of talented young musicians, including Fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center, college students from the Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music, and area high school students. He introduced the PopSearch talent competition and the innovative JazzFest and EdgeFest series, featuring prominent jazz and indie artists performing with the Pops. In addition to occupying the Julian and Eunice Cohen Boston Pops Conductor chair, Keith Lockhart currently serves as principal conductor of the BBC Concert Orchestra in London, which he led in the June 2012 Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth II, and as artistic director of the Brevard Music Center summer institute and festival in North Carolina. Prior to his BBC appointment, he spent 11 years as music director of the Utah Symphony, which he led at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

He has appeared as a guest conductor with virtually every major symphonic ensemble in North America, as well as several in Asia and Europe. Prior to coming to Boston, he was the associate conductor of both the Cincinnati Symphony and Cincinnati Pops orchestras, as well as music director of the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra. Born in Poughkeepsie, NY, Keith Lockhart began his musical studies with piano lessons at the age of seven.

He holds degrees from Furman University and Carnegie Mellon University and honorary doctorates from several American universities. Visit keithlockhart.com for further information.

P H OTO B Y D A N C U T R O N A

Having celebrated his 20th anniversary as Boston Pops Conductor in 2015, Keith Lockhart is the second longest-tenured conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra since its founding in 1885. He took over as conductor in 1995, following John Williams’s 13 year tenure from 1980 to 1993; Mr. Williams succeeded the legendary Arthur Fiedler, who was at the helm of the orchestra for nearly 50 years. Keith Lockhart has conducted more than 1,800 Boston Pops concerts, most of which have taken place during the orchestra’s spring and holiday seasons in Boston’s historic Symphony Hall. He has also led annual Boston Pops appearances at Tanglewood, 42 national tours to 146 cities in 35 states, and 4 international tours to Japan and Korea. The annual July 4th Boston Pops concert draws a live audience of 800,000 to the Charles River Esplanade and millions more who view it on television or live webcast. In 2017, with Eaton Vance as presenting sponsor and Bloomberg exclusive media partner, the Pops organization presented its first self-produced Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. The list of more than 250 guest artists with whom Mr. Lockhart has collaborated is a virtual “who’s who” of performers and pop culture icons. He has led eight albums on the RCA Victor/BMG Classics label, including two—The Celtic Album and The Latin Album— that earned Grammy nominations. Recent releases on Boston Pops Recordings include A Boston Pops Christmas–Live from Symphony Hall and The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of the Kennedy Brothers.

Ashley Brown Inspires Audiences to Dream

T

Broadway Star Serves as Pops Musical Guest

QUESTION

What one word best describes Ashley Brown?

ANSWER

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

hat word – famously uttered by the fictitious nanny Mary Poppins – has long been etched in Disney lore. And when Brown, the talented actress, embraced that role in the Broadway musical more than a decade ago, her star began to shine, receiving Outer Critics, Drama League, and Drama Desk nominations for Best Actress. Brown later brought her striking performance to audiences across the country as she starred in the title role of the national tour of “Mary Poppins,” earning her a Garland Award for Best Performance in a Musical.

Brown’s career has embodied the popular phrase – “Anything can happen if you let it” – sung by Mary Poppins in that play.

A native of Gulf Breeze, Florida, she is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music. Not long after she received her diploma, Brown landed a role in the national tour of Disney’s “On The Record” quickly topping that achievement in 2005 when she made her Broadway debut, playing Belle in Disney’s production of “Beauty and the Beast.”

The 35-year-old Brown’s talents have led her to Carnegie Hall where she has performed with the New York Pops; Los Angeles’ Disney Hall where she has performed with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra; and The Kennedy Center where she made her solo concert debut. She has performed with virtually all of the top orchestras in North America, including the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Seattle Symphony, the Houston Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony, the Philly Pops, and the Indianapolis Symphony.

At the 32nd Annual Citizens Bank Pops by the Sea, Brown will reunite with the Boston Pops with whom she is quite familiar, having sung jazz standards with the symphony several times during her storied career.

It is a career that can also be described by another quote – “Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream” – found in Brown’s latest creative foray as Mother Abbess in the national tour of “The Sound of Music.” On stage, Brown is inspiring audiences to follow their own dreams, and we won’t be surprised if she helps Cape audiences discover a little of that magic at this year’s Pops by the Sea.

Pops by the Sea 2017

Take a Bow, John Williams

P H OTO B Y M I R O V I N TO N I V

Lockhart Reflects on Composer’s Legacy

B

Williams passes the baton to Lockhart in 1995.

efore there was Keith Lockhart, there was John Williams. And this year, Williams’s successor at the Boston Pops has been busy conducting a celebration of the legendary film composer’s works to commemorate his 85th birthday.

“There’s not a better known composer on the planet.

There is a connection with his music and some of the most popular films of all time,” said Lockhart, who was handed the conductor’s baton for the Boston Pops in 1995 when he succeeded Williams, who served in that capacity from 1980 to 1993.

While Williams still maintains a connection with the Pops as its laureate conductor, he is best known for his influence on cinema, scoring such popular movies as the “Star Wars” series, the first two “Jurassic Park” films, the Indiana Jones series, “E.T.”, and the first three “Harry Potter” films. He has worked alongside such Hollywood heavyweights as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Oliver Stone, and Ron Howard. And he has been nominated for 50 Academy Awards – second only to Walt Disney’s 59 – winning five of them.

“His movies date back to the 1950s,” Lockhart noted. “In the nine decades that movies have had sound, he has films in seven of those decades. That’s incredible to think about.”

artsfoundation.org

Since April, the Pops have held several concerts at Boston Symphony Hall to honor Williams, including separate performances of “E.T.” and “Jaws” as part of live screenings of the two Spielberg films. The Pops also released a CD featuring a selection of several Williams classics and rarities it performed over two days this past spring.

This year’s Pops by the Sea will be a continuation of that theme, exposing Cape Cod audiences to the best that Williams has to offer.

This will include the familiar “Jaws” theme which has a close connection to Cape Cod, having been filmed on Martha’s Vineyard. “That score is a model for how to make a suspense film,” Lockhart said. “That music makes an ordinary movie extraordinarily nail-biting.”

And with the country’s foremost shark expect, Dr. Gregory Skomal, serving as this year’s guest conductor, that film and its familiar “duh-dun, duh-dun, duh-dun” chord will be particularly significant for the 32nd Annual Pops by the Sea. It’s a concert that serves as another opportunity for Lockhart to pay tribute to someone he has deep affection for. “It is great to be in a position to honor someone like John Williams whose contributions are that significant,” Lockhart said. “What a great chance we have to say, ‘Thank you’ while he is still here to take a bow.”

2017 Fellows Exemplify Cape Cod’s Creative Diversity From Falmouth to Provincetown, and every community in between, there are local artists doing extraordinary work with their creative talents. If you want proof, simply look at this year’s submissions that the AFCC received for its artist fellowships.

“The applicants that came in this year were diverse, incredibly talented, and crossed all mediums,” said AFCC Executive Director Julie Wake. “It motivates me to raise more funds so we can add to the fellowships we offer because clearly there is a need based on the talent we have here.”

Fellows are chosen by an anonymous jury of their peers who live as close as Cape Cod and as far away as Los Angeles.

Now in its third year, the AFCC’s Fellowship Program provides meaningful support to Cape Cod’s working artists, each of whom are given a $1,500 award to further their artistic vision.

JULIA CUMES (VISUAL ARTS)

It is through her camera that Brewster’s Julia Cumes has gained a better understanding of our world. It all began when she was a teenager living in apartheid-era South Africa. “I grew up in this society that had a very strong bias and prejudice against non-whites and women,” Cumes said. “Very early on I was shaped by that experience. I started photographing women and girls as a 13-yearold in South Africa. It was my way of seeing the world through the camera and understanding my own identity, and exploring the concept of identity in this world.”

Since then, photography has served as Cumes’s passport around the globe, taking her to such faraway places as Cuba, Rwanda, India, Kenya, Morocco, Tanzania, and Uganda. Her work has appeared in a variety of publications, including the Cape Cod Times, Cape Cod Magazine, Boston Globe, New York Times and National Geographic.

Art, she said, “is so fundamental to who we are as human beings,” serving as a mechanism to “communicate ideas, explore feelings and work out some of the struggles we all have in life.”

Cumes, who arrived on Cape Cod in 2001, plans on using her fellowship award to help fund a portrait series that will shine a light on women in the region who have been impacted by cancer. “We [Cape Cod] have a 20 percent higher rate of breast cancer than the rest of the country,” she said. “This fellowship empowers me to work on this project and it gives me affirmation that this [series] is something interesting to people, and important to our lives.”

You can learn more about Julia Cumes and her work at www.juliacumesphoto.com.

JORDAN RENZI (PERFORMING ARTS)

When Jordan Renzi graduated from college in 2011, she came back to her hometown of Orleans with a backpack full of clothes, a bicycle and a guitar that “I didn’t really know how to play,” she said.

Today, that instrument has become a prized possession, helping Renzi find her voice as one of the Cape’s preeminent singers and songwriters. She started off through a process of trial and error, performing at local open mics where she initially sang cover songs before eventually singing one of her own, “September,” which would make its way onto her first EP of the same name.

Local coffee shops and bars, such as Flying Fish Café, Harvest Wine Gallery, and the Sand Dollar Bar & Grill, served as unofficial institutions of higher learning where Renzi cut her teeth as a musician, developing her creative talents on the fly in front of Cape audiences.

She recorded her first EP in 2014, the same year she played at Boston Mayor Marty Walsh’s inaugural ball at the Hynes Auditorium in Boston. Here’s a fun fact - the Dropkick Murphys technically opened for her, playing prior to her three-song set that night.

Two years later, Renzi released her second EP, “Featherbed Lane,” 52

Pops by the Sea 2017

which received national and international airplay on over 40 stations.

Last year, Limelight Magazine named her female vocalist of the year. She followed that up by winning the grand prize at this spring’s Eventide songwriting competition.

What’s next for the rising star? Renzi will use her award to produce her third EP later this year. “To me this fellowship is very validating which of course, as artists and musicians, we are constantly seeking,” said Renzi. “The Cape is a great place to be an artist. There are things you can do here as an emerging artist you can’t do in other places. And I think, more and more, we are being given the tools to make a living for ourselves because, at the end of the day, we all have to do that.”

You can learn more about Jordan Renzi and her work at www.jordanrenzi.com.

She began by writing short plays, many of which found their way to the Provincetown Theater. That served as the launching pad for the Universal Theater, a three-day short-play festival that Slotnick created to draw writers, actors, and directors from across the country to Provincetown during the dead of winter.

Eventually, she delved into longer fare, writing her first full-length play, “The Weight of Water,” which premiered at the Provincetown Theater in 2011. The piece focused on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and had an off-Broadway run two years later.

She followed that up with three additional plays – “The Beachcomber Boys” about Provincetown’s artist colony; “The Children of Desire” about the offspring of “A Streetcar Named Desire”; and “The Shadow Child” about a family in 1960s Brooklyn that survived the Holocaust – which have had readings or been workshopped, both on- and off-Cape.

She will use her fellowship to turn her latest piece – what she termed, “the dreaded Thanksgiving 2016 dinner table play” which deals with the aftermath of last year’s presidential election – into a reality.

“I love being in the world of ‘what if,’” Slotnick said about writing. “It is my favorite place to be on the planet… It is my intellectual and spiritual yoga.”

Being recognized by the AFCC, she said, “means a lot…

It really is such an honor to be supported by a prestigious arts organization and acknowledged, not only creatively, but financially for your work.”

MYRA SLOTNICK (WRITTEN WORD)

She has lived in New York City and Los Angeles, but it is in Provincetown where Myra Slotnick is happiest. “I first laid eyes here in 1986 and I knew then I would end up here one day,” she said.

That day occurred in 2002, when the former comedian and actress moved to the Cape, pursuing a career as a playwright.

Since then, the Emerson College graduate has made her mark on the local theater scene.

2018 Fellowship Applications will open early Spring 2018. artsfoundation.org

About the Boston Pops

T

n 2017 the Boston Pops enters its 132nd season of entertaining audiences in Boston and beyond. Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart marks his 23rd year at the helm of the orchestra.

In 1881 Civil War veteran Henry Lee Higginson founded the Boston Symphony Orchestra, calling its establishment “the dream of my life.” From the start he intended to present, in the warmer months, concerts of light classics and the popular music of the day. From a practical perspective, Higginson realized that these “lighter” performances would provide year-round employment for his musicians. In May 1885—a little more than a month before the inaugural “Promenade Concert”—German-born conductor Adolf Neuendorff, under the aegis of the BSO, conducted a series of “Popular Concerts” in the Boston Music Hall, where the audience sat in typical concert seating and no refreshments were served. On July 11, 1885, Neuendorff—who became the first conductor of the Pops, before that name was officially adopted— led the first official “Promenade Concert,” distinguished from “Popular Concerts” by virtue of seating (tables and chairs instead of auditorium-style rows), program format (three parts divided by two intermissions, during which patrons could promenade around the concert hall), and the availability of food and beverages. For the rest of the 19th century, although formally called “Promenade Concerts,” they continued to be referred to informally as “Popular,” which eventually became shortened to “Pops,” the name officially adopted in 1900. The following year the orchestra performed for the first time in its new home,

58

Symphony Hall. There were 17 Pops conductors—beginning with the aforementioned Adolf Neuendorff—who preceded the legendary Arthur Fiedler (1930-1979). The first American-born musician to lead the orchestra, Fiedler established the Boston Pops as a national icon. When John Williams (1980-1993) succeeded Fiedler in 1980, he was the most highly acclaimed composer in Hollywood, and today, with 50 Academy Award nominations, he is the most-nominated living person in Academy history. With the Pops, Mr. Williams made a series of best-selling recordings, broadened and updated the Pops repertoire, and entertained audiences with live orchestral accompaniment to film clips of memorable movie scenes, many of which featured iconic music from his own scores. Keith Lockhart (1995-present) has led concerts spotlighting artists from virtually every corner of the entertainment world, all while maintaining the Pops’ appeal to its core audience. He has made 79 television shows, led 42 national and 4 overseas tours, led the Pops at several high-profile sports events, and recorded 14 albums. Mr. Lockhart’s tenure has been marked by a dramatic increase in touring, the orchestra’s first Grammy nominations, the first major network national broadcast of the July 4th concert on the Charles River Esplanade, and the release of the Boston Pops’ first self-produced and self-distributed recordings. In 2017 the July 4th concert opened a new page in its history, as the Pops organization presented its first selfproduced Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, with Eaton Vance as presenting sponsor and Bloomberg exclusive media partner.

Fashion by the Sea

Contributed By Amanda Converse of the Current Quarterly

C

itizens Bank Pops by the Sea not only presents a unique opportunity for locals and visitors to hear the Boston Pops perform on our sandy soils, but also to have a little fun with fashion.

In recent years, both women and men have used the occasion to play with styles, apropos to the seaside setting where it takes place.

For the ladies, think light summer sundresses and a little nautical flare; and this summer season it’s all about bright colors, little white dresses, and bold florals.

For the guys, it’s an ideal time to lighten up a little - literally toss off the suit jacket, roll up the shirt sleeves, and throw on a pair of dressy shorts. Luckily there are plenty of options to show some personality with patterned button-downs, quirky bow ties, Nantucket Reds or a Panama hat.

If you’re struggling to find something in your closet that fits the bill, the Pops presents a chance to shop locally for the perfect outfit. Shopping locally is vital to Cape Cod because more of the money spent in small local shops gets recirculated back into the community than money spent elsewhere. And local businesses give the area its unique character, in part, by supporting the arts so the Cape can remain a vibrant place year-round.

60

To demonstrate how easy and worthwhile it is to shop at local boutiques, The Current Quarterly - the Cape’s only dedicated shopping and fashion magazine - partnered with the Arts Foundation to outfit two willing Board Members with hip, stylish wardrobes for this year’s Pops.

We took Jim Saben to Puritan Cape Cod which has some of the best selection of men’s clothing on the Cape. There, we built his outfit from head-to-toe with a brightly colored shirt and dress shorts by Peter Millar, Trask loafers and a Miguel Bellido leather braided belt. We couldn’t resist topping the look off with a Bird Dog Bay shark tie from Black Eel Outfitters to go right along with this year’s shark theme.

For the lovely Jennifer Dooling, we found an easy-breezy dress by Clara Sun Woo that conjured up thoughts of the sea and topped it off with a coordinating tassel necklace both from Oz in Barnstable Village.

Fashion is a form of art, and the Pops by the Sea is the perfect occasion for this kind of self-expression –while supporting and celebrating the rich arts and culture scene that exists in this section of the state.

“The Wicked Trio Plus is thrilled to be sharing the preshow stage with some of our favorite peers in the region’s music community, and we look forward to another great performance by the Pops as this Cape Cod cultural tradition continues,” said Bert Jackson, member of the band.

This year’s lineup assures a fun-filled afternoon to usher in the Pops. “I’m very excited to be hosting the pre-show this year, which will showcase an eclectic mix of talented local artists,” said DJ Sinnetti. “Let’s go on a musical adventure together to discover exciting artists from Cape Cod and the corners of the earth!”

ESCAPE (THE PIÑA COLADA SONG) Music and lyrics by Rupert Holmes

whole damned town, Badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog.

“If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain, If you’d like making love at midnight in the dunes on the Cape, Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for.

Write to me and escape.”

And he’s bad, bad Leroy Brown, The baddest man in the whole damned town, Badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog.

Badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog.

FEELINGS Music and lyrics by Morris Albert Feelings, nothing more than feelings, Trying to forget my feelings of love.

Teardrops rolling down on my face, Trying to forget my feelings of love.

Feelings, for all my life I’ll feel it.

I wish I’ve never met you girl; You’ll never come again.

Feelings, wo, wo, wo, feelings, Wo, wo, wo, feel you again in my arms.

MARGARITAVILLE Music and lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN Music and lyrics by Jim Croce

Nibblin’ on spongecake, watchin’ the sun bake; All of those tourists covered with oil.

Strummin’ my six-string on my front porch swing.

Smell those shrimp; they’re beginning to boil.

Well, the Southside of Chicago Is the baddest part of town And if you go down there, you better just beware Of a man name of Leroy Brown.

Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville, Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame But I know it’s nobody’s fault.
