RTDFIRELO meets LGHTHSKPR By Jean Rukkila

A dispatch from Maine

W

hen you drive an older white Toyota truck with Arizona plates in mid-coast Maine it’s not hard to bump into conversations here and there. You already look like an odd duck by having a white truck in a land of dark vehicles, and how strange, there’s no rust on your truck.

“Maybe you want to sell that handy little truck?” asks the fellow in the pit changing the oil at the Prompto.

“I’ve got near 300,000 on my Tacoma,” says a lanky stranger in the Rite Aid parking lot.

“I have a cousin in Scottsdale,” says the man outside the bank, who thinks Arizona is probably a good idea, but will never go there himself, settled into Maine as he is like an outcrop of granite on a tidal shore.

It was my turn to start the conversation last week when I went by a local spring to fill up containers with tasty water. The well at my house runs clean, but there is a sweetness to spring water that makes a particularly good cup of tea. I backed up to a cement box my uncle first showed me in the ’60s. It hasn’t changed much since then, but I noticed the flow was slower than I’d ever seen it. However, I was in no hurry and it was a fair day, and so I sat on the tailgate while one of my three gallon jugs slurped water. Fall is doing its annual painting using one dab of the brush at a time, I thought. Color in clumps competed with a blue sky. A single leaf glowed neon orange as if it knows it will be brown before long.

When another vehicle arrived and backed near, I didn’t feel rushed. I was there first and I expect local people are well aware the flow is pokey this year and there might be a wait. I nodded at the driver’s nod, but didn’t presume to be familiar, which is the usual way of strangers in out-of-the-way New England. But after he’d got his crates of containers settled, as we both listened to air stir the trees and spring sound its trickle, I spoke up. I’d noticed his license plate and couldn’t resist. LGHTHSKPR. At first I’d read the plate and thought he was a skipper of some kind of boat. There are plenty of them around with the working

harbor of Rockland not far away. Then I got it: lighthouse keeper. As a fire lookout of many seasons, this tickled me. I’ve always felt a kind of camaraderie with those professionals of signal keeping who tend towers by seashores the world over. Here was a live one. I set my usual shy tongue aside and waded right in.

“Does the constant sound of the waves make you a little nuts?”

He chuckled and said. “I did it five years and don’t seem the worse for it.”

Like many fire lookouts I’ve known, he stumbled into an odd profession by chance and thought it was going to be a one-off. But he liked it so well that when they called him he kept going back.

Like the thin stream of water that filled our jugs, our talk was in no rush. I discovered a lighthouse keeper in Maine and a fire lookout from Arizona have both enjoyed the exhilaration of face-stroking weather that changes by the hour, and have also had to learn to adapt to the quirks of working for the government. And something else, I realized in a pocket of silence as I capped my containers and set them on the tailgate of my

old truck. Fire towers are a variety of island, I realized. You voyage out a dirt road to a peak someplace and you best be able to live with what is actually there—not struggle about what is missing. Many tales about lighthouse life describe the excitement when mail or freshwater or provisions finally arrive after weeks or months. But obviously having to do without things for a while wasn’t a reason to not do the job.

“Were you surprised when they called you back?” I asked.

“They were having trouble finding people to take the job,” he said.

“I know,” I said. “It’s a dream job for some, finding all that solitude, but not many actually find alone time that dreamy.”

But he corrected me. “Many of us were out there year round with family. It seems too many of the guys didn’t want to come back for another year after spending so much time with their wives!”

And it was life with a wife that steered his shared life into other realms after the lighthouse years.

I wanted to ask him, “Do you miss it?” But this is New England after all and

that seemed to me more personal than a stranger ought to be with a stranger. I watched him lining up his containers to fill one by one and took my time rearranging things in the back of my truck so I wouldn’t find any jugs tipped over when I got back to the house.

“Anyway,” I said, by way of goodbye and thanks for the conversation. “Maybe I’ll get myself a new license plate next time it comes up.” He looked up from water flowing and sun shining on woods, and leaves beginning to ooze reds and yellow.

“RTDFIRELO,” I said.

He nodded and smiled and seemed to be watching me drive away, I thought, as I goosed the gas over the lip from dirt road to two-lane.

Or maybe he was sizing up my truck, wondering if I’d sell it to him. Or maybe he was thinking, what a strange pale shade of truck that is, and what an odd bird driving it.

Teen reads

By Kelly Poe Wilson

T

here are many, many reasons I like teenagers better than children. I like how they can get up and get their own glass of water in the middle of the night (although, I don’t like the fact that this means every single glass ends up in their bedroom at the end of every week). I like the fact that they can pour their own bowl of cereal (although, again, I don’t like the fact that this means every single bowl ends up in their bedroom at the end of every week). And I like the fact that they don’t watch TV shows populated by speaking dinosaurs and sentient backpacks whose theme songs get stuck in my head for hours.

(Wait a minute … I forgot about The Office.

Scratch that last one.) But still, probably one of the biggest reasons I like teenagers better than children is because when they get to be teenagers their choice of reading material improves drastically.

It’s not that I’m against all children’s literature: I love the Harry Potter books beyond all reason. And there are lots of other great kid’s books out there as well. But it seems for every Magic Thief or Spiderwick that graces the bookshelves of the world, there’s an even deeper pile of Junie B. Jones and Magic Treehouses lying in wait to ambush me at bedtime.

That’s right. I’ll admit it. I’m a Junie B. hater. No, I don’t think she’s “adorably precocious”; I think she’s “obnoxiously obnoxious.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty sure the fine

Drawing the line line between “precocious” and “obnoxious” is kind of like the fine line between “stalking” and “deeply, deeply admiring,” which is to say if you are on the receiving end then the line pretty much ceases to exist. And the Magic Treehouse series? I’ve been trapped in the smallest room in the house with the only choice of reading material being a Magic Treehouse book and a box of tampons, and let

me tell you, I could now write a thesis on Toxic Shock Syndrome.

I think the thing that bothers me the most about a lot of children’s books is that nothing bad ever really happens. Not really. I’m not saying children’s books have to be tragic—no one, not even John Green fans, is looking for a Young Readers version of The Corrections. But really good children’s book authors know that

I’ve been trapped in the smallest room in the house with the only choice of reading material being a Magic Treehouse book and a box of tampons, and let me tell you, I could now write a thesis on Toxic Shock Syndrome.

there needs to be a bit of doubt as to whether or not the characters makes it out alive. Roald Dahl knew this. J.K. Rowling certainly knows this. But for many of the others? Well, as much as I kept hoping for a shocking plot twist, Junie B. just keeps making it to the end of book after book.

Look, I know I sound like the theatre critic who pans the fifth grade production of The Giving Tree. But I don’t think it’s too much to ask that children’s books be held to the same standards that adult books are. Heck, I don’t even think it’s too much to ask that they be held to a higher standard. After all, you want someone’s first experience with literature to be transformative, not tolerable. And to be honest, it’d be a lot easier for most parents to read to their kids if the books they were reading didn’t make the thought of clawing their own eyes out seem like a viable alternative.

Thankfully, with my youngest child’s entry into the teenage years, my sentence with Junie B. has officially been served. At least until I have grandchildren, I suppose.

Crap. If that’s not inspiration to have “the talk” early and often, then I don’t know what is.

Over here at Flag Live, we can dig on headwrenching tunes that just won’t go away, because once in a while one comes around with its snappy tune and orchestral arrangement, and in the best way ever, it just won’t quit.

Naturally, handclaps help. And since we’re not afraid to admit we like a strong set of handclaps, we thought we’d drop a hint that another of these majestic beasts wiggled its way into the mental rotation as of late. Mike Edel hails from Canada originally, but these days he’s all about Seattle. Grey skies, broken hearts and summertime jaunts through the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest are his bag, and he’s compiled a striking hymnal to lend musical insight.

India, Seattle, Edel’s sophomore cut, combines anthemic melodies with his airy vocal range that puts listeners on a musical ride in a convertible with the top down. We can only imagine how well this soundtrack will fit in with local alt-folk outfit, Tow’rs, but it won’t be for long. The gang will team up for Tow’rs headlining show at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Tyson Motsenbocker and Quinn Scully will share the stage as well for this hometown folk feast.

Doors for the all-ages show open at 7 p.m. and the music kicks off at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. To learn more, call 556-1580 or visit www.mikeedel.com.

fter more than a decade on the road, a host of squalid tenements—whether actual homes or something a little more makeshift—and grinding the psychobilly axe, the Goddamn Gallows continue as a formidable force in the arena. In the early 2000s, the Rust Belt of America bore forth a trio that put their respective talents to work, and have been barreling full steam ahead ever since. With a half-dozen cuts that intertwine country, rockabilly, bluegrass and more, the five-piece forges onward with Mikey Classic working guitar, vocals and a few well-timed, gritty yodels thrown in for good measure with Fishgutzzz holding it down on one of the gnarliest upright bass instruments ever assembled. Joe Perreze’s fingers spider across his banjo’s neck thanks to his multi-sourced style while Uriah “Baby Genius” Baker applies the same concept to his drum kit. Finally, Avery’s wildman tactics with his accordion, washboard and affinity for fire breathing are entrancing and nothing outside of absolutely insane, and one of the coolest live features imaginable. Oregon rockers the Sawyer Family and Flagstaff’s Western surf outfit Barrels will crack the night wide open at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz, at 7 p.m. Tickets to this 16-and-over show are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. 226-8669. www.thegoddamngallows.com.

Though they’ve recently lost one of their own, one rockin’ family of musicians is pulling back the pages of their history through head-banging tunes. In 2006, Raziel “Raz” Weger and Sarah Lanouar formed Phoenix-based metal band, Tome. No stranger to heartache, Raz was unafraid to let people into his past through his thoughtful lyrics and his self-taught style of bass that heavily influenced Tome’s spin on “Goddess Metal,” which connects deeply human experiences to appreciation for nature.

From the start, the band members poured their hearts and souls into their power-backed rhythms. But on Sept. 26, at a home show, Raz rocked the stage for what would be the last time. With loved ones gathered around, he succumbed to an aneurysm in his heart. And even though he has departed this plane of existence, this loyal group of musicians and fans are blazing forth in his memory on stage and in their continued mission to carry Raz’s message and rock harder than ever. Tome will take over the Monte Vista Cocktail Lounge, 100 N. San Francisco, and forge further onward on their best path. The show is free and starts at 9:30 p.m. For more info, call 779-6971 or visit Tome on Facebook.

ColoradoRockyMountain high-energy tunage, do our ears deceive us? While the Railsplitters may create sweeping songs seemingly plucked from stardust and ephemera, we’ve been assured they are quite real. The five pieces based in that majestic purple range originated from various spots in the U.S. Singer Lauren Stovall pays tribute to her home state of Mississippi within the group’s discography with her voice and Santa Cruz guitar. Pete Sharpe and his mandolin hail from Boulder by way of Connecticut and upright bassist Leslie Ziegler calls both Michigan and West Virginia home. Christine King on fiddle is the only Colorado native while Dusty Rider (which is by all accounts his real name) tacks an upbringing in New York to railroad work in Alaska into his work vocally, on the banjo and pedal steel.

Together, the Railsplitters spin yarns around divergent lives that connect to the listener inherently and pique curiosities through a convergent sound rooted in the truest ‘grass tunes and more.

Their 2013 debut, self-titled album as well as their most recent effort, The Faster It Goes, released earlier this year, illustrates these concepts that form the foundation of this folk powerhouse.

It’s been 400 years since Shakespeare died and we’re still talking about him. And not just that, but staging hundreds of his plays every year in America. Some community theatres aim for the heights of King Lear or complex comedies like Twelfth Night.

NAU Theatre, though, is preparing to take audiences on a wildly athletic, farcical, fish-slapping trip down the rabbit hole with The Comedy of Errors. One of only two Shakespearean farces, and one of his earliest scripts, The Comedy of Errors opens in Ephesus, a Middle Eastern seaport bustling with trade and strangers passing like ships in the night. It is here where two sets of twins—one named Antipholus and the other Dromio— find themselves severely confused. As if telling identical twins apart wasn’t hard enough, Shakespeare out-Barded us all and chose to have his four main characters share the same name with his respective, long-lost twin brother. Are these tricks of the mind, some sort of enchantment, or happy accidents? Joyful reunions and actual swordfish fights abound at the Clifford E. White Theatre, 1115 S. Knoles Drive on the NAU campus.

Fri and Sat performances are at 7:30 p.m. Shows continue Oct. 22–24 at 7:30 p.m. and Sun, Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8–$14.

Live to fight another day

By Andrew Wisniewski

L

ast Friday, like most people in town (and around the country), I woke up with the knowledge that there had been a shooting on the NAU campus here in Flagstaff earlier that morning. I hopped on Facebook where basically everyone I know had posted the sad news. We had made the New York Times (and just about every other media outlet), but for nothing good. Instead, we are now just another spot on the growing map of school shootings and focus for the larger gun violence issue in America, only a week after a student gunman killed nine people at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore. With a heavy heart and my eyes focused on the headline “Northern Arizona University Shooting Leaves 1 Dead and 3 Wounded,” I just sat there and stared at the screen.

One of the first things that came to mind after receiving the news was that age-old adage: “You never think it’ll happen to you.” Or in this case, here at home. That is, until it does. By now I imagine most people know what went down. Right away frantic minds likened it to previous school shootings— not the case. The important thing to remember is that it was an altercation where a gun was drawn and used, not a mass shooting, which is classified as four or more random killings. Nor was it a targeting of campus. But that’s not to downplay any of it. After all, it’s yet another terrifying example of an all-to-common occurrence and exponential problem that as a country, we truly don’t recognize and for some reason can’t seem to figure out.

One statistic I recently heard that really caught my attention is that since 1997 the U.S. has had 51 mass shootings, 401 firearm homicides, and in the neighborhood of 540,000 American gun-related deaths—more than World War I and II combined! That trumps any other developed country. On average, we see around 30,000 shooting deaths per year. Then there’s the fact that so much of our country’s resources and energy is focused on preventing a terrorist attack.

We’ll do whatever it takes to shield ourselves from foreigners that might kill us, meanwhile we’re not protecting ourselves from our ourselves. It’s as if it

8

flaglive.com fl aglive.com | Oct. 15–21, 2015

has become our job to kill our citizens.

The second thing that came to mind, primarily because of where I work, is as a journalist you never hope that’s something you have to report. Sadly, that’s not at all the case for so many journalists and news reporters nowadays. And that morning I watched as the newsroom was buzzing as I’m sure so many newsrooms were and often are in the wake of such senselessly angry acts.

And that’s where we are. Turn on the news anymore and it’s another report about a gun-related incident.

Whether at a school, church, or another white cop shot and killed a defenseless black person—whatever the case—it’s as if we’re basically just waiting for the next deadly shooting to occur. And as technology has democratized carnage, we’ve become increasingly numb to it.

It happens, the media blitzes the issue, we wax poetic on the need for stricter gun control laws, there’s a lack of any real response, and we move on with our lives ... until it happens again.

But the question remains: At what point do things start to change? When will we pull out of the spiral? What has to happen for common-sense gun regulations to get put in place? Not some magic problem-solving projectile, but something that will slow the epidemic spread? There’s no other issue in the country with such dire public safety consequences as gun control, and yet we are unable to take the most basic steps to putting together a plan of action to reign in the violence.

One of the many things that crossed my mind later in the day was, oddly enough, a quote from the 1995 film Friday, where Mr. Jones, Craig’s father, in response to catching Craig packing a gun, says, “You kids today are nothing but punks. Sissy fightin’.

So quick to pick up a gun. You’re scared to take an a$$ whippin’. This what makes you a man (as he puts up his dukes). When I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed.

You win some, you lose some. But you live, you live to fight another day.”

In this case, I think it applies perfectly. Still, we shouldn’t even have to raise our fists, let alone a gun.

It was further marred by the discontinuance of the National Park Service Morning Report, which typically gives news about what’s going on in Park Service land. Some of it is scary and some of it is weird. So, we’re mourning the Morning Report, which was looking to be one of our sources on the side. So, meanwhile, pardon the dust this week and possibly the next one or two while we figure out which path we’d like to head down next. Kindly, the Flag Live Staff.

The soundtrack’s comically banal jazz riffs further contribute to the film’s cartoonish feel.

And while it may seem unfair to compare The Walk to Man on Wire, certainly Zemeckis understood the unique challenges to retelling a

story so well-told already. And by focusing more on the performance and not the performer misses the point. As historically accurate as The Walk is, it fails to share a basic truth about the human experience that Man on Wire captured: What makes us extraordinary is not the things we do but our belief we can do them. Zemeckis’ superfluous rendering of this moment in time stops it from reaching great heights.

Supernatural manifestations Guillermo del Toro creates good through evil

W

riter, producer and director Guillermo del Toro has a new movie opening this weekend: Crimson Peak is a good, old-fashioned gothic horror film … you know, set in a big, spooky old mansion sitting out all by itself in the deserted English countryside where things go “bump” in the night.

This is a return of sorts to the kind of movie for which del Toro is known: horror and fantasy, but not of the cheap shock, found footage or torture-porn variety. Instead, del Toro has a flair for the classic. Starting out as a special effects and makeup artist back in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, his first film, Cronos (1993), was a highly-acclaimed debut; the Spanish-language take on the Dracula legend highlights del Toro’s love of intricate mechanics as well as marking his first collaboration with actor Ron Perlman, who has worked on six of the director’s films so far.

After the so-so American monster flick Mimic (1997), del Toro returned to his native language for The Devil’s Backbone (2001), a superb ghost story set during the Spanish Civil War. Atmospheric and chilling, it’s also a very astute commentary on the politics of that time. A mediocre Marvel entry with Blade II followed in 2002, but then del Toro really started to hit his stride. 2004’s Hellboy stars Perlman as a demon summoned by the Nazis; after being rescued by the good guys, he grows

up to be a wise-cracking, pancake-eating, catloving hero battling the forces of evil.

Then in 2006, del Toro released what many (this reviewer included) consider to be his masterpiece: Pan’s Labyrinth. Beautiful, heartbreaking, scary, whimsical … the adjectives don’t do justice for this fantasy fable about a girl who struggles to escape the brutality of her stepfather. Again set during the Spanish Civil War, it’s a visually stunning tale of hope, imagination, and defiance.

Since then, del Toro directed the sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), and was scheduled to direct the Hobbit movies until production delays made him drop out. Two years ago he was handed the keys to the piggy bank with the big-budget Pacific Rim, a $190 million science fiction extravaganza about huge manned robots that battle giant sea monsters. Meanwhile, he has also directed a couple of episodes of The Strain, a television series he’s producing based on the trilogy of novels he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan.

One of those movie makers who is so busy that he seems forced to abandon as many projects as he finishes, del Toro has already announced three films that he plans to direct over the next several years: Pinocchio, a dark twist on the classic; a sequel to Pacific Rim; and a third installment in the Hellboy franchise. Whatever he ends up doing, you can be certain it will be fun.

MUSIC

BY WILLIE CROSS

Vibewaves Sailing the seas through a musical maelstrom

‌ eafheaven, New Bermuda D ‌Grade: A It’s difficult to not wax poetic about Deafheaven. The Los Angeles group has been stirring up the American metal scene since their first demo in 2010. In 2013 they released their third record, Sunbather, and mangaged to either a) piss people off or b) rocket listeners into a black metal/shoegaze euphoria.

Very few other bands have managed to stir the pot as much as Deafheaven. With the release of New Bermuda, Deafheaven reassert themselves as simply a band that freely pulls influence from the gamut of music to compose something truly unique and powerful.

Deafheaven, and New Bermuda, are to music as Lars von Trier’s 2009 film, Antichrist, is to film. The film, and Deafheaven’s music, are an assault on the senses and emotions, and at times it feels like we almost shouldn’t be witnessing what’s going on.

Much like the final scenes in Antichrist, the final song on New Bermuda, “Gifts for the Earth,” is an uncomfortable, gut-wrenching fantasy about drowning in the ocean. Singer George Clarke bellows a mixture of desperate screams as the instruments around him build toward a crushing midsection of the song.

After the almost transcendental, uplifting narrative in Sunbather, Deafheaven’s New Bermuda is a welcome shift into the ever-darkening corners of the band’s psyche. The album succeeds on many levels, and while at first its elements may seem disparate and scattered, multiple listens grant the record a beautiful, albeit somewhat upsetting, cohesion.

flaglive.com | Oct. 15–21, 2015

Graveyard, Innocence and Decadence Grade: BThe state of rock music is a challenging one. While there are plenty of bands churning out new records, the story virtually never changes from one band to another. They heavily draw on rock influences of yore to only somewhat successful ends.

Such is the case with Sweden’s Graveyard on their new record, Innocence and Decadence. This album is the band’s fourth, and only partially succeeds on the promise of progression that their third record, Lights Out, promised.

What is heavily lacking on the album is the catchiness of their breakthrough record, Hisingen Blues. The band felt genuinely charged up throughout that record; Innocence and Decadence finds them running through the motions. From the charging “Never Theirs To Sell” to the downtempo closer “Stay For A Song,” there is hardly a single mold broken on this record.

The record comes closest to feeling like something special on the second song, “The Apple and The Tree.” The band seems to draw on more Southern rock influences to create a progression that move from low-key to a boisterous conclusion, with loosely roiling guitar throughout the song.

There is plenty of foot-tapping and head-bobbing to be done while listening to Graveyard’s Innocence and Decadence, but it all feels quite superfluous in the end. The dashes of complexity and progression on the album are lost in the fray as the album charges through its 43-minute running time.

The Dead Weather, Dodge and Burn Grade: AIn the video for the first single off of the Dead Weather’s new album, Dodge and Burn, vocalist Alison Mosshart belts the lyrics to “I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)” through an assault of hurricane winds and debris.

The music video might be taken as a metaphor for Dodge and Burn as a whole. The Dead Weather have always been about tearing through songs with a ferocity that works both subtly and brutally. But Dodge and Burn is a creature of an entirely different breed.

Each song is like the swipe of a black panther’s paw at the listener. The band utilizes all the weapons at their disposal to craft unique, heavy blues rock that even harkens back to the earliest days of metal.

It is no surprise that the band is a brutal force of nature, as their members also comprise some of the best rock bands around right now. Mosshart is also a member of the Kills. Dean Fertita is also the bassist for Queens of the Stone Age. Guitarist Jack Lawrence performs in the Raconteurs. And, of course, drummer Jack White is one of the most preeminent musicians performing right now.

Despite all the star power in the band, the songs feel largely democratic. White only has authorship credits on a few of the songs, while Fertita and Mosshart show up the most as the main songwriters. Usually supergroups of this caliber only last an album or so—Them Crooked Vultures, for example. But the Dead Weather’s chemistry is undeniable, and most evident on Dodge and Burn.

Where the Dead Weather’s earlier records hinted at a greater potential, Dodge and Burn delivers the most so far on that promise. It is an angry, black leather-jacketed racket of a record that will hopefully hold fans over until whenever it is the band decides to mosey back into the studio.

David Bromberg resurfaces after two decades sounding better than ever

By Douglas McDaniel

If a star quarterback returns after retiring more than 20 years ago, there aren’t many who would bet on his success. If a world champion prize fighter took to the ring again after two decades, better have the ambulance ready. If Jesus came back from the dead, he might have a lot of catching up to do before he was ready for prime time. But if you found a Stradivarius violin in the attic, chances are it would sound pretty good.

David Bromberg .

David Bromberg is like one of those fine instruments. As his friend Jerry Jeff Walker stated about him, “The reason man created stringed instruments. David touched them with a lover’s fingers and they moaned that true love right back at him. Wood and wire and flesh spoke.”

So how does one explain the re-emergence of Bromberg? After 10 albums and constant touring during the 1970s and ’80s with a lot of humor and instrumental verve, this noted master of guitar, fiddle, Dobro, mandolin and pedal steel guitar decided he was burned out on the whole business, broke up his band, and retreated into a life of relative obscurity. But alas, that’s a mediagenerated idea: that someone disappears when they aren’t in the public life. He was simply off the public radar. But now, at age 70, he’s back on the road.

“I was really doing well,” Bromberg says of that time during the late 1980s when he broke up the band. “I was working too much without a break. I toured for two years straight and never went home. I realized that when I got off the road I was burnt out, but I didn’t realize that until later. I came to the conclusion that I wasn’t a musician anymore. When I wasn’t performing, I wasn’t writing, I wasn’t playing on my own. I realized I was I-don’t-know-what.”

There were some studio credits along the way, as he appeared on other people’s records here and there. But he says he wasn’t really pursuing life as a musician for some time.

“I didn’t play much guitar,” he says. “The performing I did was very sporadic. I took 22 years off and I didn’t realize I could step back in.”

What he did instead was learn how to make violins. First, he enrolled in the Kenneth Warren School of Violin Making in Chicago. But he wasn’t as interested in knowing how to make violins as he was in trying to identify them—especially violins made in the United States. Something just clicked in his archival mind about these instruments. He became an avid collector and known expert on violins. He now has a collection of 263 violins made in America, which he has offered to the Library of Congress. And when someone had a violin they needed to identify, Bromberg became the go-to guy.

“How do you tell what they are is what fascinated me,” he says. “I started looking at violins, learning how to identify the makers, gaining the knowledge of the different makers. Now, in one small area of the violin world, American-made violins, I’m considered something of an expert.”

David Bromberg cir

ca the 1970s.

After moving to Wilmington, Del., he opened a retail store and repair shop for violins and other instruments, David Bromberg Fine Violins. The business was part of a revitalization of that part of Wilmington, but it also became a place where Bromberg himself became revitalized.

By the next year, after the mayor of Wilmington had mentioned live music had once been a common offering in that part of town,

Bromberg was leading what he called a regular “jam session.” As it turned out, he didn’t have to travel to play. He just stayed home, and people came to him.

“Some very good musicians started to show up, some of them from a long way away,” he says.

Thus began the musical re-education of David Bromberg.

“I learned a whole bunch about singing,” he says. “Phoebe Snow gave me some very good

advice about singing. During the period I wasn’t performing, I took some voice lessons. Now I sing a lot better than I did in the 1970s. I don’t have the speed on the guitar that I used to have. That part is gone.”

Within five years of moving to Wilmington, and after getting encouragement from the likes of bluegrass players Chris Hillman and Herb Pederson, he was ready to start recording again.

He formed the David Bromberg Quintet and

returned to the recording world with the 2007 release called, naturally, Try Me One More Time.

It was nominated for a Grammy.

That was followed by a recording project that started with some playing for fun with John Hiatt, but became a concept Bromberg called “Use Me.” He invited a wide variety of artists— Hiatt, Levon Helm, Los Lobos, Tim O’Brien, Vince Gil, Keb’ Mo, Linda Ronstadt—to suggest songs they wrote for him to cover, and then Bromberg would perform and record them. Then came an opportunity to record with producer Larry Campbell, a longtime friend and former producer and player for Levon Helm and Bob Dylan. The David Bromberg Band emerged with Only Slightly Mad (2013), which Bromberg says “is an old-time David Bromberg record” since it jumps around from Chicago-style blues to bluegrass, gospel and English drinking songs.

That ability to create shows and records with “too many different styles,” as he puts it, is why in the past decade Bromberg has earned the nickname “The Godfather of Americana.”

“I did not make it [the nickname] up,” he laughs. “When I was originally performing, there was no such thing as Americana. Commercial record stores couldn’t figure out where to put me. Was I in the rock section, the blues section, the folk section, all the stuff I do? Now all of that is just called Americana, and that’s what I was doing for all of those years.”

Bromberg is from the generation born at the end of World War II (in 1945 in Philadelphia, later raised in Tarrytown, N.Y.) that was just waiting to discover rock ‘n’ roll by the time he was a teen in the late 1950s.

However, he was more attracted to roots music than the mainstream Elvis of his day. He discovered Peter Seeger and the Weavers, and was especially drawn to the blues. A fan of Big Bill Broonzy and Muddy Waters, he discovered a now lesser-known blind blues player by the name of Reverend Gary Davis, who he asked to teach him to play guitar while living in Greenwhich Village in New York.

He says he enrolled in Columbia University with the intention of becoming a musicology major, but he never got far enough along in his studies to actually study “musicology.”

“I never got to the point where that actually happened,” Bromberg says.

Nevertheless, he says the exposure to the lively Village music scene in the mid-1960s was essentially a study in numerous kinds of music that he was interested in. Now, in later years, his exposure to all forms of folk, blues, country,

jazz and so on has led him to being just as indefinable. How does he remember that fabled time scrambling to make a living as a musician in the Village?

“Even when I got to the Village, people were saying it was not the same as it used to be, and they are still saying it now,” he says. “What I remember is the joy that we all got when playing that music. We loved that music and we loved each other.”

After a time playing for tips, he became a sought-after studio musician and backing musician for Tom Paxton, Jerry Jeff Walker and Rosalie Sorrels. Then he began to flourish as a hired hand for recording sessions, including for Bob Dylan’s New Morning and Self Portrait LPs. For the next decade or more, Bromberg played with a who’s who of musicians. He got his first record deal in 1970 after getting a chance to play as a stand-in at the Isle of Wight Festival. The performance was so well

received that Columbia Records offered him a recording contract. In 1971 his debut album included the song “The Holdup,” the product of a collaboration with former Beatle George Harrison. Then he met members of the Grateful Dead, and they played on his next two albums.

At that point, his music was deep into the blues and folk, and his nasally voice (somewhat in the timbre of a jazzy Neil Young) wasn’t great but it was laced with a lot of irony and sarcasm.

That style, featuring horns and all kinds of other instruments with an increasingly large ensemble, developed a hit with a seven-minute version of “Mr. Bojangles,” which interwove stories about traveling with the song’s writer, Jerry Jeff Walker.

His humor is a trademark. For example, on Only Slightly Mad, there’s a song about how he’ll take a lover back when, among other impossibilities, “they find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.” Even his liner notes on the

CD are self-deprecating. He describes the song “Strongest Man Alive,” about surviving all kinds of challenges where others have not, as “an old English drinking song that I wrote. Well, I wrote it and it sounds like an old English drinking song.”

His shows are now like eclectic journeys into his encyclopedic mind, and the songs he chooses are as eccentric as he is.

“What I like in humorists,” he says, “are people who take their subjects very seriously, but don’t take themselves very seriously.”

See the David Bromberg Quintet perform on Sat, Oct. 17 at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Nashville bluesman D.L. Duncan will open things up. Doors for the all-ages show open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $33 in advance and $37 the day of the show, and can be purchased at Aspen Deli, Rainbow’s End and Anima’s Trading Co. For more info, call 556-1580 or visit www. davidbromberg.net.

Getting into Thin Air The Flagstaff-based literary magazine aims for new heights

‌A

gut punch. A soft stroke across the face. A feeling that touches the soul. ‌A good story can have any of these effects, and Northern Arizona University has an outlet full of them.

Thin Air Magazine, NAU’s annual literary magazine, is looking to expand its reach and take its place among the notable literary journals in the country. And between Sept. 16 and Dec. 1, the magazine is accepting submissions from writers locally, nationally and internationally for its 22nd edition.

“Our name just isn’t out there yet like we want it to be,” says Laura Walker, editor-in-chief.

Thin Air Magazine began in 1994 at NAU and is run by graduate students in the Masters of Fine Arts program. The nonprofit journal is supported by NAU, grants, subscriptions and donations. In addition to fiction, nonfiction, poetry and visual arts, the magazine also prints author interviews.

The magazine’s goal is to “seek work that represents the forefront of contemporary fiction, nonfiction, poetry and visual arts … We care about sharp aesthetics, cultural relevance and artistic cohesion. We are especially excited about works that bend rules and surprise readers while sneakily winking at tradition.”

Because the magazine is run by MFA students looking for quality and diversity based on the editors’ personal standards, the aesthetic in voice and content of the magazine often changes from year to year, Walker says.

The magazine is printed once per year in April, and it has a year-round online presence— the online portion of Thin Air has gone through a facelift as part of a growing effort to expand the journal’s reach.

About 1,000 copies of the journal are printed each year, but that may change, Walker explains. Staff are considering taking Thin Air to a print-on-demand model in order to bring down the cover price of $8 and prevent overprinting.

“We’re focusing more on making it accessible,” Walker says.

She adds that the focus going into the future is to increase exposure of the magazine and its exemplary writing.

Barbara Lane, the nonfiction editor, says the intention is to bring the small literary 18

journal up a level in order to stand shoulder to shoulder with larger journals that are respected in the field of creative writing. It is a lofty goal, but achievable.

“And we’re helping to prepare the next generation of editors to continue that goal,” Lane adds.

Walker says, “We have a really dedicated staff.” She adds that the staff numbers are the largest they have ever been, making way for specialized positions like a website editor, a social media specialist and more.

“That has helped a lot, just to have that online presence,” Walker notes.

Additionally, last year’s editors made a concerted effort at fundraising, which set this year’s crew up nicely to focus on spreading the word about the quality writing that can be found in the pages of Thin Air Magazine. For instance, a recent publicity push focused on exposing the publication to more than 300 MFA programs across the nation. Also, Thin Air has ties to events like the Northern Arizona Book Festival and the Narrow Chimney Reading Series in Flagstaff.

The editors seek submissions from new and established writers.

“I feel like we’re looking for writing that grabs us as readers,” Walker says.

The competition is stiff. Thin Air receives “hundreds” of submissions in fiction, nonfiction, poetry and visual arts each season, Walker says.

The best of the best are chosen for the print edition, and additional pieces are chosen for online presence.

Readers for the submissions are solicited from across the campus and writing communities outside of campus. Every piece goes through a minimum of three reads, and then the decision on whether to publish in the print or online editions is left up to editors of the different genres.

As to submission guidelines, people affiliated with NAU (either as a student or

employee) cannot submit to the print edition until they have been removed from that affiliation for two years or more, Walker notes. The reasons being that the journal does not want to be perceived as playing favorites, and that the journal wants a diversity of voices represented on the page. Writers with a current NAU affiliation may submit to the Thin Air online blog, which has a 1,000-word maximum. The current theme seeks Flagstaff and Northern Arizona fiction, nonfiction and poetry.

Writers who wish to submit to Thin Air Magazine should have an audience in mind, Walker says. And then, writers should have that audience read and hear the piece prior to submission for feedback.

“The more feedback you get, the more polished your piece is going to be and the more focused it will be,” Walker says. “And it will stand a better chance of acceptance.”

Thin Air Magazine will be accepting submissions for their 2016 print issue through Dec. 1. To submit work, for more info, or to check out previous issues, visit www.thinairmagazine.org.

CURIOS Another opportunity for Flagstaff and Coconino County writers and artists to see their work in print can be found in Curios.

The small magazine, produced by students and staff at Coconino Community College, is printed once a year in May. The magazine accepts submissions of fiction and nonfiction (up to 750 words), poetry and visual arts.

“Our intent for Curios literary magazine is to foster the breadth of creative expressions across our northern Arizona community by providing publication opportunities to local writers and artists,” says Sandra Dihlmann-Lunday, English faculty at CCC and coordinator for the magazine.

For a complimentary copy of Curios, e-mail Dihlmann at sandra.dihlmann@coconino.edu.

Skip-stop service Battling the forces of inequality in Grand Rapids

‘I

nequality” is not a condition. It’s a creation. Inequality is produced by thousands of decisions deliberately made by bosses, bankers and big shots to siphon money and power from the many to the few.

We see Wall Street and Washington doing this to us, but the widening and deepening chasm of inequality in America is also the product of decisions that local elites are making every day. Take Grand Rapids, Mich., a city largely run by a few billionaire families sharing an entrenched laissez-faire ideology. They want no heavy-handed government policies … unless you’re poor or working class.

Thus, the city powers who find it unconscionable to hike taxes on the rich, recently socked low income bus riders with a 17 percent jump in fares. For the 27 percent of people in Grand Rapids who live below the poverty line, that’s a serious chunk of change siphoned right out of their pockets.

Then, the board of directors of the city’s transit agency slipped a siphon tube into the wallets of their own drivers and mechanics, arbitrarily terminating their pensions.

Adding a crude insult to injury, the board simultaneously gave a pay raise to the transit

boss—literally stealing from workers to lift the CEO’s salary above $200,000 a year.

When the workers, who’re members of the Amalgamated Transit Union, began leafleting bus riders to oppose the fare hike and pension theft, the arrogant boss and autocratic board threatened to arrest and fire them!

Luckily, even in Grand Rapids, it’s still legal to exercise your First Amendment rights, so the union won an injunction against this repression. Better yet, the attempted siphoning of money and power has rallied community groups, students, bus riders, and others into a grassroots movement to stop widening the inequality gap and start bridging it.

Bartender wisdom All the proper symptoms

W

hen traveling, I’m skeptical of the Irish claim of most “Irish Bars,” particularly when I’m traveling to a town not historically known for a large influx of Irish immigrants.

If I’m in Boston, New York, Chicago, I can assume a bar claiming to be Irish is or else it’ll be gone quickly. Beyond that, I won’t really know until I have my Guinness in hand and am looking over whiskey bottles. Does it feel like a locals hangout? Does the décor seem like it’s been there a while or does it look like it came from kit 4073 delivered last Tuesday? All those things in mind, it still comes down to an essential ingredient: the people. Do Irish folks or Irish descended folks come in there to make it their place, their pub?

Recently, I was in Denver at the Irish Rover after an Irish Festival in that area. Earlier in the day I’d checked out some of the festival, but mainly I’d spent the day playing four good matches of Irish Hurling against teams from Kansas City, Portland, and a couple from there in Denver. The action movie star, Jason Statham, wipes out an ethnically diverse gang of car thieves in a movie scene using a Hurley (the axe handle-like stick used in the game).

As he’s whacking knees he pauses to tell the clichéd hooligans that the Irish game of Hurling is “a cross between hockey and murder.”

By the end of the day I dare say I didn’t feel as downtrodden as lectured thugs (actually met some nice folks and had a hoot). But my feet were a bit swollen and tired. So, when I jogged over to the Irish Rover for the official after-the-festival dinner, drinks and dance party, I wasn’t sure how long I’d stick around.

The place was packed. The Denver Gaels had rented out a side room for all of us. They had a plethora of food for everyone, and it was good and hot. Irish food seems like it should come out of the kitchen ludicrously hot and this stuff was just that. I nuzzled right into a pint and felt welcome. I did notice a usually off-putting thing: a big TV. It looked like it was normally covered, but tonight they were turning it on and gearing up for a show. I waited for what would happen next with a modicum of trepidation.

What happened was an Mixed Martial Arts match featuring a popular Irish fighter, Conor McGregor. I knew nothing of this McGregor, and I didn’t have much of an impression of MMA. Years ago in its early days I’d watched a Brazilian fighter, Royce Gracie, and a wrestler, Dan Severn, duke it out. It was interesting, but like

By James Jay

that Jason Statham quote that seemed to over-macho and dumb down Irish Hurling in its dramatic hyperbole, MMA’s advertising had seemed to seek juvenile males to celebrate some kind of modern John Wayne fantasy. Its façade mirrored that of professional wrestling: shaved, flexing and filled with unoriginal obviousness. All that said: I had good food in front of me, half a pint in hand, and a place to lean on the bar alongside some fellow hurlers. With skepticism, I’d see how it would unfold.

Sinead O’Connor sang the Irish rebel classic, “The Foggy Dew,” as McGregor entered the ring. I’ve always been a Sinead O’Connor fan, both musically and politically.

The crowd on the television set and the bar I was in with its mix of Irish and Irish descended hurlers went nuts as well. Everyone was singing along. A fantastic charge filled the room. The place was authentic.

Genuine. I caught the bartender’s eye and had another pint and three John Powers shots to share with the fellows beside me.

The bar’s man McGregor was the popular underdog against a tough fellow with a wrestling background. McGregor’s wild scrappy style got put right onto the mat by the wrestler who proceeded to wrench on his Irish head for all he was worth. Most of the match went like this with a tense quiet permeating the room. And then, through some magical sheer will maneuver (like in one of those crazy action movies), McGregor pulled his sore head out of the vice-like arms and punched the heck out of that wrestler. He knocked him out with one punch and the crowd in the bar sprung into a chant of, “Olay! Olay! Olay!”

I ended up well past my normal bedtime. My feet glad they were dancing and I was happy to exchange stories with a swath of intriguing folks. More than the sign on the outside, their conversation and energy made the bar an Irish one. And what a blast, too. Slainte.

May sweet, sweet Carol never know ... Wait, what did she just say? Is that true? Please don’t let it be true. Your Old Uncle Larry grew into one of the greatest nudity connoisseurs of the modern age as a result of the pages of those ine magazines. And what will become of the greater world when the joys of lady wonder are not discovered by curious nephews who open the I just wrong box in the attic and discover that stack of classic read the most Playboys so carefully cataloged and appropriately interesting news. It turns dog-eared? So sad. out that Playboy is going to stop publishing nudity next year as a move to change its image. Of course, part of it is that anyone can get that stuff anywhere these days. But good for them for showing some decency.
