From the Editor: High Holidays of Gift Giving -
GIVE ART GIVE ART GIVE ART GIVE ART GIVE ART
Here is an interesting statistic: Retail sales hit a record of $5.7 trillion in 2017, according to the U.S. Census. I don’t know how much of that was spent on art and/or handmade products but certainly there is a whole lot of shopping going on. As we approach the high holidays for shopping, I urge you to not only shop local but to purchase directly from artists whenever you can for gift giving to others and yourself. You will not only get a unique product but you will be sustaining an important industry that we need now more than ever.
The shopping trend of course is to purchase
online (U.S. e-commerce sales are expected to increase nearly 16% by the end of 2018, reaching over $526 billion and representing 10% of total retail sales. (Source: eMarketer). Most artists sell their art online as well as at fairs, local shops and galleries. Start your online search by Googling your local art association. There you will find a pretty good array of artists and styles along with contact info. One of my favorite online sites is ETSY - all products here are handmade and the site offers so much, you might want to reserve a long afternoon for this delightful shopping adventure. You can also find paintings on sites such as UGallery.com, Art.com, Saatchiart.com, Artpal.com and many others.
Another way to buy from local artists is to shop
at an artist’s cooperative. See my listing in this issue of some of my favorite artisan shops.

Cast: Mac Estelle - Writer: Mac Estelle - Producer: Mac Estelle by Janice Williams
Bostonian Mac Estelle is a film maker, actor dancer (ballet and tap, etc.), director, editor, writer and painter. I first heard about multi-talented Estelle when he was a guest on “It’s All About Arts” TV Show. I remember listening to him that evening and realizing that while he appeared to be a somewhat reserved man, he had a deep and resounding creative spirit with a dedicated mission. I was totally fascinated at the breadth of his experiences and his fascination with art and performance. I wanted to know more. Estelle was on the TV show promoting his latest independent comedy film, “Help Wanted” (recent recipient of the 2018 Official Selection of the DUMBO film festival) that he produced in Boston. It is an award winning silent film in the style of the 1920s. Listening to Estelle talk about the film was a film itself. He passionately told the story within the story of his being the cast, writer and producer. As anyone knows or can imagine, producing an independent film is hard work and can be time consuming and costly without some kind of financial or established studio backing. The quality of this film speaks to the immense talent of Estelle as he cleverly found resources via his company, The Sterling Moving Picture Co., to pull it all together. According to Estelle, “Silent films and music are the International language, which can cross all language and cultural barriers. If I can show this film all over the world, then maybe we can all laugh togethIt’s All About Arts Magazine December 2018
er. What a wonderful energy that would create.” A movie buff and movie camera expert, Estelle has a website called “Hand Crank Cameras”. His site is dedicated to the history, preservation, sale and restoration of antique hand crank motion picture cameras. He collects, preserves and sells cameras some of which were used by film giants in Hollywood. The site has images and history that is truly educational and fascinating. The very first entry is one of his prize finds - “Luminere cinematographe ca 1897-1901. The KING of them all. The Bell and Howell 2709B studio camera. This camera changed the film industry.” Estelle’s appreciation and love of cameras is so evident in how he shot his “Help Wanted” film. He used a modern digital camera and an antique Hand Crank Pathe Studio 35mm motion picture camera. He explains, “This was an incredible experience as this camera was owned by the king of all cameramen, Billy Bitzer. This very camera shot the DW Griffith films, The Birth Of A Nation, Intolerance, Way Down East and many others. What a thrill to be looking through the finder of this wonderful old movie camera that at one time had seen the images of such great artists/actresses as Lillian and Dorothy Gish, Mae Marsh and so many others. A privilege indeed”. While I feel like I have just skimmed the surface of the talent of Mac Estelle in this article only focusing on his film making, I needed to share, encourage and help promote his work.

DIDI STEWART
The Stars & Stripes Asunder
by Curt Naihersey
Wells, often appearing in paisley minidresses, fishnet stockings, and luscious lipstick. They released an EP and even tried showcasing in New York City, but the rap from the labels was that they weren’t young enough to be a “girl group” (though they were only in their early thirties) - yikes! always a profoundly sexist music biz.
!
Didi Stewart ventured to Boston from New Jersey to study at Berklee College of Music and eventually became an associate professor in the Voice Department. A twotime winner of the Boston Music Award for best female vocalist, she has been a longtime fixture on the Boston music scene. Starting out locally as a folkie, she switched to pop with Long Tall Sally. Her first original rock band, Didi Stewart and The Amplifiers, signed with Kirshner/Epic records in 1983 and released Begin Here.
!
Her next band, Girls’ Night Out, became one of the top-grossing acts in New England and was named best unsigned band by Musician Magazine in 1986. Though Stewart had already plenty of original music, the band mostly played covers of artists such as The Ronettes, Dusty Springfield, The Shangri-las, or Mary
Throughout the 1990s, Stewart went through a phase of doing jazz and standards and was known for her ongoing series of songwriter tributes, celebrating such composers as Laura Nyro, Carole King, Randy Newman, Jacques Brel, Rogers & Hart, and Cole Porter. The critically acclaimed An Evening of Burt Bacharach and Hal David won a Boston Music Award for best club performance. A prolific composer for film and television, her songs have been featured on Melrose Place, One Life to Live, The Young and the Restless, Touched by an Angel, The Twilight Zone, and many others.
!
During the years, Didi has sporadically released solo albums, all lovingly received by her fans. Following the aforementioned, The Summer We Spent in China (1987), One True Heart (1988), Freedom Summer (1991), and then a long void until Devious Angel (2017) and now in 2018, No Love Songs. Her current anxieties about social ills sprouted on the former disc, but it’s this last angst-filled, socio-political offering that amazes me the most. And this is what’s on her mind in the Here & Now.
!
1. Your new album hit me like a brick. Knowing your former stylistic approaches, what prompted this change in direction? Moral anger? The political quagmire? Frustration at a dysfunctional society?
! !!
_________________________________________________________________________________! It’s All About Arts Magazine
December 2018
Well…hmmmmm.........Like a brick? Ouch, hope there was no lasting damage. The catalyst was Election Eve, 2016. Writing about my feelings seemed better than falling into a four year depression. And it just...led where it led. The initial inspiration was anxiety about the deep political divisions in the US, a sense of things falling apart. My cousins and a friend came over to watch the election, and after the Trump victory, everyone started listing the things they were worried about: immigration and the Dreamers, autocracy, climate change, emboldened white supremacists. And all those themes ended up on the album. Since nearly all the songs were written while Obama was still in office, it wasn't moral anger, exactly. More like looking forward in horror and trying to imagine what Trumptopia might bring.
!
2. With this material, I’m reminded of political satirists such as Mark Twain, Tom Lehrer, Allan Sherman, The Capitol Steps, and even Weird Al Yankovic. Are you a devotee of musical theater parodists?
!
I'm not terribly familiar with musical theater type parody, but learning more about it is going to be a project for next year. Re Sherman and Yankovic, I know the hits, which are hilarious. Love what I've heard of Lehrer (“Vatican Rag”, etc.) and need to delve more deeply into his work. Same with Brecht/Weill. Mark Twain, though: huge influence. I was obsessed with his short stories in sixth grade. So much so, that I got in big trouble when a teacher found me reading "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" under my desk during Social Studies. I burst out laughing in the middle of class when the loaded-up-withbuckshot froggie failed to jump. There went my grade.
3. Besides being cranky, observational, and hopeful, how can an innovative artist - a civic participant - remedy the political landscape?
!
Good question. Not sure I have an answer. Maybe it's just saying what people long to say themselves, helping them feel less alone. Keeping up with the daily outrages is exhausting. Laughter's a great release, and so are tears. Colbert and Kimmel are doing yeoman's work helping people get through this.
!
4. Your command of language is pivotal in this album. The nature of satire encourages listeners to become politically engaged. As you were writing, did the flow of events come to you or vice-versa? How did you craft & decide?
!
Well, I love language! One different element about the writing process was that I wrote the songs without using an instrument. Just jotted everything down, lyrics and melodic sketches, in a notebook. Months later, I sat down at the piano and wrote the basic arrangements. Maybe not being limited by an instrument freed up my imagination to go into some new places.
!
5. There’s a bit of black humor, sarcasm, irony, and a touch of cynicism in this material, which was completely new for you. As you’ve developed through the years, is this the voice of contemporary resistance?
!
I'm not a sarcastic or cynical person, so not really sure where this attitude comes from. Frustration, maybe, at the way we humans never learn from our mistakes. Throughout the writing process, I found that the blacker the humor, the greater the sense of relief.
! !!
_________________________________________________________________________________! It’s All About Arts Magazine
December 2018
We're living in extreme times, so maybe the "voice of resistance" needs to be extreme as well.
!
6. Was any of this approach a reflection of being a teacher to young developing minds, either through their attitudes or musical preferences? Your song, “A Star to Steer By”, expresses this eloquently.
!
Thank you! A lot of love went into "Star." Each day, I'm constantly amazed by the drive and developing artistry of my students. They're coming up with songs that I find far more interesting and heartfilling than anything on the radio. I do my best to encourage them every day, It's a tough world and a rough industry they're heading into, a time when music doesn't seem to matter the way it once did. The song was a way of saying "hang in there, people need to hear what you're doing, you'll find your niche.”
organic. But great musicians can make that happen on the spot.
!
8. Also, you offered a minimal mid-set of new tunes, even more dispirited and caustic than the album. Is this your continuing direction? What’s next for your charmed career?
!
A lot more humor. And more songs with a genuine a sense of hope. The last thing I want to do is leave people dispirited. The direction of the writing kind of depends on what happens to our poor, beleaguered nation.
!
7. When we saw your CD release show at The Lily Pad in Cambridge, the small trio approach allowed the songs to expand. That presentation solidified this material for me. How did you define the arrangements?
!
It was a privilege working with such superb, sensitive musicians. And after all those years of loud rock bands, small acoustic groups are a revelation. So much air and space, allowing the lyrics to come forward. A lot of the piano parts were written right into the songs. When we got to the band rehearsal stage, all the players came up with great ideas that we incorporated. Since we had a grand total of two quick rehearsals, and had never played out as a band, I was worried about it sounding

In the Holiday Spirit with Linda Cuccurullo “Here’s to holly and ivy hanging up, And to something wet in every cup.” -- Irish toast Can you believe that the holidays are already around the corner?

The Last Thing
!
What will be the last thing I see? A light in the sky, the clouds welled in your eye?
!
What will be the last thing I hear? A final beat suddenly clear, a sweetest voice whispered into my ear ?
!
What will be The last thing I taste ? A savory sweet so long to prepare, the salty drop of an endless tear ?
!
What will be The last thing I smell? The lingering scent of your gardenia perfume, the chrome and steel of an antiseptic room?
!
What will be The last thing I feel? A face pressed to mine, the pull of something divine?
!
What will it be The last thing I know? That love endures when it’s my time to go.

Pick Yourself Up

If you never rebelled then you probably never rolled back down the hill where you pick yourself up run a comb through your hair and refill your will never beaten your head against the wall then you probably never ever broke on through where you beheld the vision so you know it’s there in reach of you
!
if you never chased a dream then you probably never woke on the fire escape where you climbed the railing glared at the moon unfurled your cape never taken one for the team then you probably never ever cursed in the dirt where you pick yourself up take your base with grace keep the hurt in your shirt

OPPORTUNITY HELPING CHILDREN LEAD HEALTHY LIVES
BE PART OF THE HEALTHY CHILDREN TELEVISION SERIES Chefs Table Foundation (CTF), is seeking sponsor support to implement a new series of culinary focused educational video programs addressing childhood obesity that adversely effects about 12.7 million children and adolescents in the United States. CTF currently produces programs under the name The Chefs’ Table Series® and Vegetarian Spice that are shown weekly on community access television stations across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire as well as on YouTube and Vimeo. The program has a current reach of 3 million potential viewers, shown on over 100 stations. Since 2012 The Chefs’ Table Series® show has showcased over 150 programs featuring local chefs, beverages, exercise, nutrition and recipes. The show is generally filmed during live demonstrations at a wide variety of restaurants and culinary locations. An example can be found here https://vimeo.com/chefstableseries. CTF has chosen to focus on a new series about childhood obesity because of the overwhelming need to tackle this public health issue with entertaining and educational videos, working with local health, school and other professionals* to highlight healthy food choices and recipes, along with nutrition and exercise. According to the CDC, “the most successful approaches are often comprehensive, localized, ‘place-based’ efforts — where leaders and members of a community build partnerships”. CTF is planning a series of half hour shows (up to 42) to be aired weekly that will offer local expert advice and demonstrations specific to helping parents, children and professionals learn new ways to live healthy lifestyles. Each week would tackle a different food group with a cooking/recipe demo and explain nutrition benefits of that particular food along with a daily exercise routine or tip to keep kids moving. We also will partner with local experts and have secured a partnership with Laura Benavidez, Director of Food Services for the Boston Public Schools. CTF believes that we can make a major contribution to helping to address this public health issue in a very visual and widely accepted format that has a potential household reach of 4 million on television alone. Sponsors get recognized on each show, on our website and in our social media.

Tess’s December To-Do List (continued) Play Around The Snowy City In partnership with The Harvard Center on the Developing Child, we are seeking ideas for playful, temporary design installations and events throughout Boston this winter. How would you make one of Boston’s public spaces more fun and inviting during the coldest season of the year? These are sites where young people and adults spend time together, but don’t always have a lot to do with each other. Where can we encourage play to support community building and learning? Where can play reduce everyday stress that we experience in the winter? The installations may provide: • • • •
Storytelling and Community Conversations Inclusive Performances e.g., music, dance, or theater Interactive Play Public Art that incorporates winter elements
Two projects will be selected for funding. Projects must be temporary, implemented by early February 2019, and meet a budget of $5,000. The best projects will be executable ideas with succinct and thoughtful plans for implementation. Successful project proposals will include a plan to scale the project to more locations in the future. Deadline: December 12, 2018 http://space.newurbanmechanics.org
