Marking seasons By Shonto Begay

A view from the New Year

‌A

s late summer’s warmth relents to the early chills of autumn, I am reminded of how these changes affected my observation from the threshold of my mother’s hearth and home. ‌From a very young age, when I first learned of the cycle of seasons, I learned to gauge those stages in the changes of the Earth’s tone. Before and aside from the intrusion of U.S. government schools, it was the subtle signs I witnessed: the lowering heads of sunflowers as if in sadness; the cries of migratory birds far above my sheep trails as they traveled south; the sounds of drying cornhusks and lowered voices of my elders; the high-cooling clouds above the remnants of the last thunderheads and how the vibrant colors of the land slowly gave way to the muted carpet of tumbleweeds and Rites of Seasons by Shonto Begay. rabbitbrush, scrub oaks and aspens clinging to their colors In the course of a year, we moved with in vermillion and gold. This was the time of neweach season from one sheep camp to another ness, our New Year. to accommodate the weather and our farming In the chill of the Hunter Moon, we began and grazing rotations.

of another harvest year. The seasonal moving always brought excitement to the camp as chickens were caught and the cats bagged alongside supplies for the next camp. My burro loaded with goat pelts, two miles of wagon trail is a gate to another season.

As we left fall into winter, stories were readied for long nights of Kesh’Je’ (Dineh Shoe Game) where we honored the animal kin hibernating for the season. We sang their songs and told their stories safely away from their presence, in a safe gambling game. From the first dustings of snow on the peaks and mesas, to the first audible thunder of spring, we mimicked their antics in stories and songs. The animals’ roles in our creation stories and the voices they so jealously guard echoed from many sheep camps of winter. It is said that the first game played on the edge of the Fourth World was

won by the night animals, thus the nights are longer.

Monsters and giants are always our adversaries in these dark and cold times. Songs are sung spirited and much laughter marks the mysteries of the long nights and shortening days.

The seasons within were honored as well. We celebrated stages of life rather than annual birthday markings. Aazh’chi’ (birth of a child), chi’deel dlo’ (first laugh) and kinaal’da’ (puberty), brings a child into fullness. This is the natural calendar we grew up with.

Later with the advent of Christianity and government teaching, we saw new rituals marking time: Aya’ na’haal yiz (Halloween), Taazhi’daa’ ghaal (Thanksgiving), Kesh mish, (Christmas), Ayee’zhi N’daa’hadlaa (Easter), and axhoo’haii’ (rodeos and other summer events).

There are practices in thoughts, words and actions we cannot perform out of their prescribed seasons. To do Kesh’Je’ in summer would be like Halloween being in May. Seasons hold their own sacredness and our communion with them as well. Now we prepare for winter by taking a snow bath in the first measurable depth. Now we prepare our voices and clear our conscience as we go into another season of Shoe Game, string games and dramas retold from the cusp of the Fourth World, our stage of creation.

Anti-social media

By Kelly Poe Wilson

I

recently found out there is an app for your phone called “Hell is Other People.” This app lets you track all of your friends on social media, and then maps out the best ways for you to avoid them. The article I read about it referred to it as the latest in “antisocial media” technology, which, while funny, made me think that it kind of totally misses the point. The reason we sometimes want to avoid running into the people we know isn’t because we are anti-social, but rather because we are all “social-ed” out, and we know that if we run into someone we know when we are at that point, then we aren’t going to be able to put the best effort into our interactions with them. In other words: we’re not avoiding you for our benefit, we’re avoiding you for yours.

Or maybe that’s all a cop out, and the truth is that I just really don’t like other people all that much.

I first started to consider whether or not this might be true when I started noticing how my son, Clyde, interacted with other people. From the time he was an infant he always loved to see other people. It didn’t matter if he was having a bad day, or wasn’t feeling well, or was tired. If you wanted to see him, then he wanted to see you. And often if you didn’t want to see him, then he wanted to see you as well. One of my earliest Clyde memories is pushing his stroller

Avoiding you for your benefit down a crowded sidewalk. Since I was behind him, I couldn’t see him—I could only see the expressions on the faces of the people coming toward me. One after another I’d see a grumpy pedestrian coming my way, only to watch them break out into a reluctant smile by the time we were abreast of each other.

When I finally got to a point where I was able to observe Clyde, I saw that he was focusing intently on each person who came into his

field of view, and the look on his face—every time—was, Oh my god, it’s YOU. I’m SO happy to see YOU. Living with such an extrovert has made me rethink my position on what a “normal” amount of social interaction really is. Before Clyde came along, I would have thought the answer to the question of “How often should you see other people?” was “As little as you can get away with.” Since Clyde’s arrival, however, I have

Before Clyde came along, I would have thought the answer to the question of ‘How o�ten should you see other people?’ was ‘As little as you can get away with.’

Since Clyde’s arrival, however, I have come to the conclusion that, for some people, the answer is clearly ‘All of the time.’

come to the conclusion that, for some people, the answer is clearly “All of the time.”

It’s difficult to parent a child who is so different from you without falling victim to the belief that they are doing it all wrong. I will be forever grateful to my daughter, Clementine’s, second grade teacher for pointing out to me that, just maybe, Clementine had a more balanced outlook on life than I myself did. But even so, her advice only concerned a single aspect of Clementine’s life: book reports, and whether my suggestion/demand that Clementine compulsively complete them all was “normal.” (Turns out, it’s not.) But book reports are a rather small fraction of an average person’s everyday life; being social is a full time gig. At least it is for Clyde.

Needless to say, Clyde was not at all interested in the “Hell is Other People” app when I told him about it, and, having learned my lesson 12 years ago with the book report fiasco, I didn’t push him to be. Although, I do have hope that one day, he too, will be antisocial like a normal person.

After all, eventually even Clementine started doing those book reports.

LIFE-WOVEN FABRICS‌

It’s all about the women and a lifetime worth of stories one weaves in NAU Theatre’s latest showing of collegiate skills, Quilters. Based on the book The Quilters: Women and Domestic Art by Patricia Cooper, playwrights Molly Newman’s and Barbara Damashek’s musical highlights moments of joy and tragedy using quilt blocks as metaphors for moments in women’s lives from childhood onward. Seven female actresses—Imani Barnet, Carter Conaway, Heather Coleman, Jessyca Goodwin, Grace Novak, Sera Young and Sonja Usher—play nearly 100 roles as children, grandmothers, men and even animals in this production directed

by Christina Gutierrez-Dennehy. NAU’s Scenic Designer Steven House gets as creative as ever as he and his team stage scraps of fabric to not only set the scene, but drive the plot forward in this tale of prairie life born of tradition and ancestry across genres like folk, gospel, bluegrass and Americana roots. Unfold the experience at NAU’s Studio Theatre, 1115 S. Knoles Drive, on the NAU campus. Fri and Sat performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and Sun performances are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8–$14.

The show runs through Nov. 22. 523-5661. www. nau.edu/cto.

s we slapped our old Punk ‘O’ Rama compilations back into rotation, we couldn’t help but swell with a fist toward the sky. At the top of the heap of slam-dancing tunes was always one gritty bunch of dudes, Swingin’ Utters. Even just punching the name into the Internet’s most hospitable invention, Spotify, was enough to send us into a black hole-destined tailspin of nostalgia for those nights packed in grimy venues—and the nice ones, too. In the 20-plus years the California-based punks have been tearing s*** up via Fat Wreck Chords and before, they’ve seen a little bit of everything from kickin’ bricks at one of Berkeley’s most infamous venues to line-up changes and worldwide tours galore. But even the little recording hiatus they took between 2003 and ’10 couldn’t tarnish their discography, which glances toward the ceiling most recently with 2014’s Fistful of Hollow. Swingin’ Utters now sports one original member in Johnny “Peebucks Bonnel” after past members went on to other things, musically or otherwise. And these dudes are about support and continue to have at it with the same fire and attitude they’ve always pushed. Feel the flame at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz, with the Bombpops, Success and Unstable Youth. Tickets are $12 in advance and $14 the day of the show. The show starts at 8 p.m. For more info, call 226-8669 or visit www. swinginutters.com.

This year’s It’s Elemental exhibition and sale has blown the last five years out of the water as far as submissions are concerned. The jury sifted through more than 200 entries in the categories of wood, fiber, metal, clay and glass, and settled on a whopping 60 pieces to show off to you, good art appreciators of Flagstaff.

Joining the ranks of It’s Elemental are some return favorites, like last year’s Best in Show winner Tom Williams and his intricate metal sculptures. Master pyrographer Valarie Connell is back for round two with two new pieces showcasing her wood burning technique. Plus a canon of other creative folks like Robin Gooch and Elizabeth Bonzani whose crafty ceramics suit equally utilitarian and aesthetic needs. Each artist demonstrates their medium’s capacity to blur the lines of where one art begins and another ends while remaining ever true to his or her craft. Step back and observe the elemental landscape at the Coconino Center for the Arts, 2300 N. Ft. Valley Road, from 6–8 p.m. The exhibition runs through Dec. 19. The Fine Craft Sale runs in tandem with the exhibition on Sat, Dec. 5 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sun, Dec. 6 from noon–4 p.m. 779-2300. www.flagartscouncil.org.

HotPicks 15 W. Aspen, will screen the scenes at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Doors for the all-ages show open an hour before each showtime.

Proceeds benefit Flagstaff Ski Club. Tickets are $5–$10. 5561580. Watch the trailer at www.skinet.com/warrenmiller.

Well, needless to say, Warren Miller Entertainment and company have done it again. That is they’ve blown our collective minds capturing the exploits of the world’s most extreme athletes. Chasing Shadows, Miller film #66, tracks those so jazzed on fresh powder—willing to go to any lengths to glide down the most pristine mountain pass—and zig-zag precarious heights so quickly they need a parachute to stop like a freaking rocket returning from the moon. Filmed across six countries from Japan to Chile, France, Switzerland and Italy—even the Himalayan Range in Nepal—plus snow packed peaks in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Alaska, Chasing Shadows combines a stunning mix of GoPro and handheld footage so gnarly you’ll want to dust off your own gear and hightail it on a trip to the Rockies. But if exponentially raw ski dreams aren’t your thing, it might be best to just watch the pros have at some of the world’s most challenging slopes. You can count on the best from Warren Miller, the entertainment heroes packing in the wintry escapes for more than 50 years. The Orpheum Theater,

A young buck born in 1985, Viloteau began his charmed work at the ripe age of 12 in the south of France and continued in Barcelona, Spain, under the tutelage of some of the world’s most inspiring and definitive specialists to ever touch the instrument. Of course, learning is not a finite concept, and Viloteau continues his training to this day, though he’s made stops the world over including in Italy and even the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, all the while displaying his prowess at international guitar competitions where he placed first—natch.

While many across the Southwest desert have expected Texas would one day bring the doom, they must be glad that at the moment it’s musically and not via some end-of-days scenario.

Instead, Arizona and Texas go head to head, blazing forth in a fit of metal with the Stalk from El Paso and Cursus out of San Antonio while Ice Sword and Storm Bringer hold down Flagstaff. Though they’re fairly new as a three piece, the Stalk already released their debut demo on Nov. 12 along with what’s been a winding road of tour and grind for the black metalers.

For Cursus—their name is the Latin for “course”—and their twopiece mix shredding the lines between doom tinged with occult themes and psychedelic rock, the evening is bound to get interesting. Meanwhile, Ice Sword and Storm Bringer have been busy packing venues across town in the way only they can rip. One rad overload awaits at Firecreek Coffee Co., 22 E. Rte. 66. The show starts at 8 p.m. Free (donations accepted). To learn more, call 774-2266 or visit the bands on Facebook and Bandcamp.

The beginning of an imprint

By Andrew Wisniewski

A

s a kid growing up in the ’90s, I constantly had my eyes and ears glued to MTV. Unlike today where new music can be discovered by simply opening your eyes and hitting play, music television was “the” number one way for the tune-hungry youth of the time to track down their next favorite artist or group. Back then, turnon-the-tube-and-wait-for-your-intro-to-thelatest-and-greatest-song was the name of the game. And we played. Yes, a ton of great music shaped young musical minds. But for all the hits that flashed across the screen, so much good music was either missed, went un-played, or stuck to its roots underground.

It wasn’t until I got to college in 1999 that my appreciation for music—especially hip-hop—really started to take shape. The gangsta rap from the previous decade had formulated my appreciation for how the spoken word could be matched with a beat, but I had little knowledge of what had been and was going on in the underground scene.

With an honest “How the hell is that even possible?” from my new roommate, I went into Hoodlums, the on-campus record store, and asked them for a couple must-have hiphop albums, you know, to get me where I needed to go. What was picked from the shelves and handed to me was Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star (1998) and A Tribe Called Quest’s People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm (1990)—the title of the latter perfectly fitting for the request.

Sixteen years later hip-hop is easily one of my favorite styles of music. And 25 years after its initial release, A Tribe Called Quest’s landmark debut LP is slated for a November 13 re-release via Sony Legacy— remastered and featuring exclusive remixes by some of today’s top MCs and producers—to celebrate the group’s influence and lasting cultural imprint. It’s hard to think anyone could make this classic album sound fresh, but if the bonus tracks— “Footprints” remix feat. CeeLo Green, “Bonita Applebum” (Pharrell Williams remix) and especially “Can I Kick It?” (J. Cole remix)—are any indication of its direction, it could stand to be a fairly solid reissue.

Formed in 1985, A Tribe Called Quest—Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali and Jarobi (who left the group after the first album was released)—were just teenagers when they crafted their seminal debut LP. And they were trailblazers right out of the gate.

88 flaglive.com flaglive.com | | Nov. Nov.12–18, 12–18,2015 2015

In early 1989, even before they were on anyone’s radar, Tribe recorded a five-song demo with Geffen Records that featured future classics, “I Left My Wallet in El Segundo” and “Can I Kick It?” as well as the groovy “Description of a Fool,” which was released later that year under Jive Records after Geffen foolishly decided against a recording contract. Then came People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.

Marked by a light-hearted, idiosyncratic sense of humor that smoothly side-stepped the more hardcore and conscious hip-hop of the time, Tribe brought a fresh, playful approach to the genre. The lyrics were thoughtful and delivered with confidence, the basslines were funky and jazzy (Q-Tip’s sampling technique also became influential after the album dropped), and a new attitude was assured. It’s the kind of album where listeners can hit play and tag along on the journey, head-nodding the entire way—such is the case with much of their songbook. But unlike 1991’s The Low End Theory which saw them over the hump, and 1993’s highly touted instant classic, Midnight Marauders, their skills weren’t recognized right away. The Village Voice labeled the album as “upliftingly dope” and The Source gave it five mics—the first-ever awarding of the magazine’s highest rating, while Rolling Stone (surprise, surprise) called it “one of the least danceable rap albums ever,” and went on to say, “it’s impossible to imagine how people will put this music to use.” Six years later, the album went gold.

Now, 25 years later and 17 years since the group disbanded (reports indicate they’re also reuniting for a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon the same day as the reissue), People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm and A Tribe Called Quest are still influencing a wealth of talented MCs and producers following in their footsteps—artists that might not exist without them. And even if you can’t directly hear it in the music, the impact is there. They are forever fathers of a whole new brand of hip-hop, and they’re still relevant today because they were the truth.

Like the exchange goes between Q-Tip and Phife Dawg in the song “Check the Rhime” off The Low End Theory: “You on point Phife?” “All the time Tip.” … “You on point Tip?” “All the time Phife.” 25 years later, together or apart, they’re still on point.

The Church publicly attacked the film when it was first released earlier this year, which only generated great publicity. But Going Clear deserves the publicity on its own merits: despite threats from the Church, Gibney has thoroughly and truthfully tackled the undeniable dangers of this Goliath cult.

Telling it true The inspiration film glossary

I

have a hard time believing anything displayed on a screen is every really 100 percent accurate; even something that should be completely factual like a documentary or a newscast. So when I see a movie that claims to have its roots in reality, I always walk out of the theater questioning how accurate the film was.

Obviously the Internet could help me sort things out. History vs. Hollywood is one such site that will help you sort fact from fiction, but I want something more. I want a stamp on the movie poster right next to the MPAA rating that lets me know how accurate the film is. I’m sure that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. For now the only guidance available is interpreting the language used to promote the film. Here’s a quick guide to figuring out how much accuracy might be in that “true story” you are about to see: The True Story of. This is about as close as you are going to get to the truth without actually watching a documentary or reading a book.

Some omissions and a plot twist or two are expected, but ultimately we’re going to get a decent overview of how things went down. This film might even give you enough info to get a trivia question correct when the time comes, but don’t count on it for your history exam.

By Sam Mossman

The Amazing True Story of. Adding the words “amazing” or “unbelievable” doesn’t boost my confidence in historical accuracy. All I can think here is that the filmmakers took more liberties with history to make a more spectacular movie, adding excitement and tension in ways that don’t necessarily do the truth justice.

Based on a True Story. Now we are starting to get a serious dose of fiction into the film.

You might see characters combined, events stylized or fabricated entirely. The big points of the story are likely accurate, maybe even the ending, but the road will wander quite a bit in between. “Based on a true story” is another way of saying the actual true story isn’t quite exciting enough to make a film about, so it is going to need a little something extra.

Inspired by True Events. So this is it: the bottom of the barrel. You know what else is inspired by true events? Just about everything, ever. This cup of coffee I’m drinking was inspired by the true event of me feeling fatigued. The Hangover is probably inspired by some guy that got hammered in Vegas and had to go to a few places the next day to find his wallet. In my experience, “inspired by true events” is a desperate way to drag a few more audience members into a film that likely isn’t all that good to begin with.

Music

BY WILLIE CROSS

Vibewaves Of the bleak and the beautiful

‌ ulien Baker, Sprained Ankle J ‌Grade: A+ It is a challenge to pick out which element of Julien Baker’s new album, Sprained Ankle, is the best. Baker, only 20 years old, excels at virtually every aspect of songwriting, and this album ceaselessly exemplifies this. It is a remarkably emotive and weighty album that pulls the listener into Baker’s life with unwavering honesty.

Sprained Ankle opens with “Blacktop,” a wrenching account of finding oneself in an ambulance when the only person that matters is far away. It sets the tone for an album that lays Baker’s emotions and experiences bare.

Her lyrics are beautiful narratives of being too invested in someone that doesn’t care, or having a reputation for driving others away.

Baker’s voice ranges from quieted desperation to crying out in anguish, but she never lets the songs be too overwhelming. Her minimal instrumentation, usually only an acoustic or electric guitar, gives the songs an airiness that gently lures the listener in. Taking part in the strife that Baker sheds light on is challenging, but is something beautiful to behold.

Sprained Ankle reaches its apex with “Rejoice,” a song where Baker reflects on her lowest lows. The album dials down from there,

with the albums closer, “Go Home,” offering a small shred of hope in its discord. Despite all the sadness on Sprained Ankle, it honors a listener willing to surrender to all the beauty it has to offer.

Windhand, Grief’s Infernal Flower Grade: AThe palette of doom metal can be a tough one to repeatedly draw from. Downtempo songs, chuggy guitars and pummeling drums can only go so far for some bands. But for Windhand, the palette just seems to grow and grow with each of their releases. Their third full length, Grief’s Infernal Flower, is an immersive and hypnotizing record that builds on their fantastic album from 2013, Soma.

As opposed to the bleak, grey album cover of Soma, Grief’s Infernal Flower features a lush, colorful graveyard scene illustrated by Arik Roper, complete with hazy purple skies in the background. The difference between the albums covers exemplifies how Grief’s Infernal Flower builds on Windhand’s sound: there is simply more of it.

All personnel, including new bassist Parker Chandler, are on point. But one of the album’s greatest strengths is the production. Grief’s

Infernal Flower features producer Jack Endino, who has worked with the likes of Skeletonwitch and Black Tusk.

Endino draws out virtually every element of Windhand and dials it to eleven. Dorthia Cottrell’s haunting vocals are featured more prominently than on previous albums. Cottrell’s vocals heighten the aura of mysticism that has always been present on Windhand’s albums, and the acoustic track “Sparrow” casts a brooding shadow over the rest of the album.

Windhand isn’t afraid to simply do what they do best on Grief’s Infernal Flower. The sprawling second half of the album, including two tracks clocking in at more than 10 minutes, beg for only the deepest and most committed headbanging. Grief’s Infernal Flower is the ideal exemplification of doom metal in 2015.

Pinkish Black, Bottom of the Morning Grade: B+ In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Pinkish Black band member Daron Beck admitted to wanting nothing more than to write the soundtrack to a horror film. It’s no surprise, as the duo, which includes Jon Teague, has been writing haunting music for three records now.

On their third album, Bottom of the

Morning, they further prove their chops as potential film scorers. They ditch the prevalence of heavy, droning guitars for a lusher, more balanced sound that draws on all elements of their dark and brooding palette.

Analog synthesizers wobble over virtually every passage on the album, and the drums tread forward through the ooze that surrounds them. Beck’s vocals pass to and fro between monotone to choked desperation, and his lyrics paint a ceaselessly bleak picture of post-apocalyptic melancholy.

The album’s unfortunate weakness is that it winds up sounding almost too much like a horror film soundtrack. The heavy, dynamic elements that made their previous album, Razed to the Ground, are no longer present. In their place are sparser, psychedelic progressions that would be better suited as background music in a horror film than an album.

Bottom of the Morning still manages to be one of the most unique and haunting records in recent memory. The title track, situated near the end of the album, is an epic trip through the gamut of sounds Pinkish Black have come to offer, and will hopefully be their calling card for a bright future in producing horror film soundtracks.

Blood

Harmony

Run Boy Run returns to a home away from home

By Larry Hendricks

A

cello hums low under the flight of fiddle and a softly upbeat tune with Celtic flavor crosses the musical palate.

The next song features female harmonies and string work with a taste of Appalachia.

A listener feasts on acoustic music with deep roots that displays a fearlessness to venture into new territory.

Tucson-based quintet Run Boy Run, whose rise began onstage in Flagstaff, heads north once again to share a storybook musical journey with its growing number of fans.

“We think of ourselves as folk Americana with roots in bluegrass and old-time with a contemporary twist,” says Matt Rolland, who plays fiddle and guitar for Run Boy Run. “We draw from many wells.”

In the blood Two sets of siblings make up the lion’s share of the band.

Run Boy Run includes Rolland, sister Grace Rolland on cello and vocals, Rolland’s wife Bekah Sandoval Rolland on fiddle and vocals, Beka’s sister Jen Sandoval on mandolin and vocals, and bass player Jesse Allen.

The band’s signature sound is about three-part harmonies that are heavy on the strings. Imagine a conversation between voices and bowed instruments and percussion, and you start to get a sense of Run Boy Run’s sound.

Rolland says the band likes taking the old and making it feel new and modern. The influences for the ladies include Alison Krauss, the Trio Albums, and of course, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Other musical influences on the band include Crooked Still, the Wailin’ Jennys and Nickel Creek.

Of Nickel Creek, Rolland says, “We all grew up listening to them. They made bluegrass and old-time music cool.”

Four of the five band members knew each other as children. The Rollands would head up to Payson for the Arizona State Fiddle Contest every year, and there they would run across the Sandoval family. They got acquainted, but they didn’t get to know each other very well until their college days at the University of Arizona.

“We started playing music together,” Rolland says. “We just wanted to play music.”

Jesse, with a foundation in classical and jazz sounds, brought another layer to the band’s sound.

“We roped him into the folk world because he had an upright bass,” Rolland says, laughing.

There were no lofty aspirations. They would all get together at home and just play music. The beginning started out humble, but then the sound started to click.

“It grew from there,” Rolland says.

The band’s first big break came at the Pickin’ in the Pines Festival in Flagstaff in 2009, not very long after they officially considered themselves a band. They entered the annual contest and won. The next year, they got a mainstage gig, and their fan base began to grow.

Run Boy Run also landed a special appearance at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2012, and has appeared twice on National Public Radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion” hosted by Garrison Keillor.

Keillor wrote of the band, “I saw them clear late one night at a party when they played for three hours straight, unamplified, and danced while they did it, and wanted to 16 flaglive.com | Nov. 12–18, 2015 16

play more, but the van was leaving. I am old and jaded but still have my hearing, and when I hear Run Boy Run, it all comes back to me, why I started doing that show back then. I hope they go on forever.”

The band’s first album, an EP of five songs, Run Boy Run, debuted in 2011. The band’s first LP, So Sang the Whippoorwill, came out in 2013, and their current album, Something to Someone, came out in October 2014, recorded at the historic Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, Wash.

On family “Being in a band is like being in a family,” Rolland says. “There are the close quarters, the long hours together. You learn to communicate your preferences and needs.”

Rolland adds, “What it really means is that you have to put the pieces back together at the end of the day if anything’s broken.”

Common blood and common experience helps.

“The blood element is real,” Rolland says.

In Appalachia, there is a term called “Blood Harmony.” Family members growing up together while singing have a tendency to develop the same nuances and the harmonies blend in natural ways because of the benefit of having grown up together. The process is beautiful to witness, Rolland adds.

Fans often refer to the strength and beauty of the harmonies.

“These gals were born to sing together,” Rolland says. “I really do love the spell they cast together.”

The plans for the near future are to wrap up the current “Vinyl Release” tour, Rolland says.

Run Boy Run toured much of August and September through most of the country.

The last two weeks have been across the Southwest, with gigs in Bisbee, Flagstaff, Phoenix, Albuquerque, and their hometown of Tucson.

“They’re cities we miss when we’re on the road,” Rolland says.

Wait a minute, did you just say vinyl?

“Vinyl is back in,” Rolland says. “It was a bit of a dream for us to do it.”

The band released Something to Someone on vinyl. There is a physical product, beautifully crafted, with booklet and liner notes, for the music fan to actually touch. The cover is of a ship, a metaphor of a journey through American music in a sense. Besides, for people who know, vinyl has a special sound, Rolland says. The process harkens back, like the music, with constraints on time and an emphasis on organization of the music across the A and B sides.

Side A of Something to Someone exemplifies a more Irish influence that fit naturally together, with songs like “Sunday for Larks” and “Heavy the Sorrow.” Side B is made up of more bluegrass and country tunes. Songs like “The Lord Taketh Away” and “Something to Someone” contrast with the A-side tunes to exemplify a journey of tone change from side to side that only vinyl can deliver.

With the financing help of a record label in Tucson, the idea became a reality, Rolland says.

“I think it’s beautiful,” he adds.

And because not everybody may have a turntable hanging about to spin the new vinyl LP, the album is also available in digital download.

The band members have all played as full-time musicians for the last two-and-ahalf years, and in 2016, Run Boy Run will embark on another national tour, Rolland says.

“And we want to get back in the studio,” he adds, mentioning sometime in February or March, to begin recording new songs.

Touring smart Much of the success of the band is about “touring smart,” Rolland says. All of the band members have jobs when they’re not playing, and thinking creatively is key to the reality of being a band in today’s music scene.

“The band comes first, so we all have chips in the game to make it work,” Rolland says.“But it’s not easy.”

They go on the road with “anchor concerts” and festivals in mind to make the trip worthwhile. Additionally, bluegrass and old-time audiences care to come and listen to a live performance, and they are willing to pay for the experience.

“Acoustic and live is just such a different experience than listening on headphones,” Rolland says.

The last time Run Boy Run played in Flagstaff was during the 2014 Pickin’ in the Pines Festival.

“It’s been a whole year, but we play in Flag every year,” Rolland says.

They’ve played at the Museum of Northern Arizona, Green Room, Charly’s and at Pickin’ in the Pines.

“We love Flag,” Rolland says. “It’s kind of a home away from home.”

Flagstaff has a great acoustic music scene, and when they come back, fans fondly welcome them, Rolland adds.

Besides, the band got its first big break in Flagstaff.

“That kind of interaction stays with you,” Rolland says. “We always carry that with us.”

Run Boy Run will be playing with Flagstaff bluegrass outfit Muskellunge, who will open up the show. Members of the two bands met early on at the Sedona Bluegrass Festival and have done multiple performances together since then.

“They’re a really great Arizona band and we’re thrilled to have that pairing,” Rolland says.

Catch Run Boy Run on Thu, Nov. 12, at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen.

Doors for the all-ages show open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 the day of the show, and can be purchased in person at Aspen Deli, Animas Trading Co. and Rainbow’s End, or online at www. orpheumflagstaff.com. For more info, call 556-1580. Learn more about the band at www.runboyrunband.com.

Words That Work

Alison Hawthorne Deming explores how the living world around us defines us

‌W

hen you look up “creative nonfiction” on Merriam Webster’s dictionary for Internet users, it retrieves the definition for “nonfiction,” which is defined as, simply, “writing about facts” or, even more generally, “all writing [or cinema] that is not fiction.” When you refine your search and look up “creative nonfiction” using Webster’s online search bar, it gets worse. The computer screen reads, dismally, “Not found.”

But that’s the trouble with definitions. What I found when I devoured Alison Hawthorne Deming’s 2014 collection of essays, Zoologies: On Animals and the Human Spirit, is that it’s a delicious environmental work, one that departs from an impersonal “just the facts” approach. It’s also more than a reiteration of the lines we draw between what is “made up” and what is “real.” In Zoologies, Deming,a New England-born Tucson transplant, pledges to shatter boundaries, especially those that separate humans from their non-human animal counterparts. Through 32 essays of varying length, she offers many truths about the diverse and fascinating animals that graze our Earth as well as the footprints they leave in human culture. She blends eco-critical prose with poetic images and memoir with complex history, connecting the dots between ancient animal fables, revered religious texts, personal experiences, and scientific evidence of climate change. In doing so, Deming’s empathetic essays dare to use human logic for good. She admires—and in some cases deifies—nonhuman animals in a culture that sees humans as superior. ‌Zoologies exists as Deming’s eighth literary venture; she has published four collections of poems and four works of nonfiction. Her first book, 1994’s Science and Other Poems, was selected for the Walt Whitman Prize and her 1997 essay collection, The Edges of the Civilized World, became a finalist for the PEN Center Award. She is a 18

former Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, a former faculty member of University of Montana’s Environmental Writing Institute, and current director of the Creative Writing program at University of Arizona. Additionally, the Pushcart Prize winner’s work has been widely published and anthologized in journals and magazines such as The Georgia Review, Orion, Cutthroat, American Poetry Review, The Norton Book of Nature Writing, and Best American Science and Nature Writing, among others.

Readers acquainted with Deming’s poetry will fall in love with this book instantly. In the first essay, “Murray Springs Mammoth,” she likens a desert researcher’s smile to “mischief flickering across his face like campfire light.” Later, in “The Cheetah Run,” she links the fierce cat’s spots to “obsidian beads” and says “their chirping … sounds like birds when they call their brothers to eat.” Lines like these make the poet’s heart swoon. But it is my favorite essay, “Dragon,” that contains the most vibrant of images. Deming launches the essay, which is very much about the science of Earth’s innate spirituality, with descriptions from her many animal dreams. She writes: “I have seen the bare mountain range by my house suddenly transform into the spine of a dragon …

Vesuvius and Krakatoa breathe fire from their mouths as the Earth shifts its vertebrae.”

Natural images of mighty mountains changing into the spine of a monstrous mythical creature cement Deming’s themes. She wants her readers—in this essay and beyond— to understand that humankind has tried to eradicate the inner animal, our inner wildness, in order to create space for civilization and technological progress. But her images remind us we can’t ever really slay that dragon, for “animals are the core of what we are as creatures, sharing a biological world and inhabiting our inner lives.”

Even though Deming discusses subjects as gruesome as hyenas partaking in “a predatory orgy of killing” and as heartbreaking as a beached finback whale being “cut apart” with “knives and hammers” by scientific research teams, her ability to transport readers from

place to place, with authority and ease, is just incredible. Deming takes us from the arid foothills of Tucson to the effervescent marshlands of New Brunswick, Canada. In some essays, she traverses the dense forestland of Oregon, admires the gothic architecture of

lit scientific terminology.

In other words, navigating this book is a slow but satisfying journey; it is no beach read or airport bookstore pageturner. When whirling through, we must trust Deming to take the wheel, even when the water gets a little choppy, for she aptly bookends longer essays with short, crisp pieces about the companionship of crows or the fantastical history of feral children.

About halfway through the book, Deming begins to reveal herself as a character in Zoologies. And this is what solidified my connection to the book. I consider myself to be a lover of animals and nature, and I enjoyed learning, for example, that lobsters can “shoot streams of urine six feet out in front of them from two bladders holstered on either side of their heads.” I also took pleasure in finding out “elephants communicate when they are miles Author Alison Hawthorne Deming. Photo by Cybele Knowles apart through rumbles deeper than the human can hear.” But I went from mildly-interested-inPrague, and studies the beaches of San Diego fun-facts to literally-glued-to-the-page when I with careful wonder. In others, she explores learned Deming was a teen mother who spent the vast, wild plains of eastern Africa with her 20s in rural landscapes, that she once liberits “cloudlike herds of zebra, impala, and ated a lobster in honor of her late brother, that wildebeest … shape shifting through the her mother died at the age of 102. Also, I can’t afternoon.” In “Patativa (Sporophila leucohelp relating to her daughter’s instinctive bond ptera),” Deming finds herself in rural Brazil, with horses or her young grandson’s fascination “the land where coffins are sold in the store with the T. Rex. All in all, in reading Zoologies, next to fruits and vegetables, because death I found that my connection to animals and the is a daily way of life.” Details like these environment deepened only when I began to elevate her prose: it’s not just description; it’s understand the author as a shameless, hopeful being there. It’s not just setting the scene; it’s human. Ironically, in my mind, that positions bringing the scene to readers, viscerally. Her her as the cleverest animal of them all. And no unique and picturesque descriptions on the definition—Merriam Webster or otherwise— page are like gazing longingly at someone’s could’ve predicted that. vacation photo album in the flesh.

he uber-rich like to collect trophies as proof of their unsurpassed uberness.

These are not like the tacky brass trophy you won in a bowling tournament.

No, no—global ultra—billionaires compete ferociously with each other in Xtreme Wealth Games to have the most dazzlingly-gorgeous trophy wife, the most humongous and elaborate trophy yacht on the seven seas, etc. And now comes the most ostentatious game of one-upsmanship yet: the trophy mansion.

Forget those $10 million show houses perched pretentiously atop a peak in Aspen for all to see—we’re talking $100 million, $200 … $500 million, mine-is-bigger-thanyours monuments to mammon. For example, a gold rush of developers are constructing monstrous trophy mansions in Los Angeles.

casino, and—get this—four swimming pools! “Who in their right mind needs four swimming pools?” asks a neighbor who paid a mere 10 million bucks or so for his luxurious Bel Air home. Well, sniffed the developer, one can work up quite a sweat going around this maxi-mansion, so: “Why would you not need four swimming pools?” Adding to the narcissistic selfindulgence of these trophy hunters, note that this $500 million Taj Mahal is not even meant to be the owner’s main home, but a place for occasional getaways—“nobody buys a 100,000-square-foot home to use every day,” explains the developer.

Such excess is not just an embarrassment of riches, it’s obscene.

Bartender wisdom Quenching thirst for destruction

A

few years back a well-dressed businessman came into the bar while I was working the day shift. Only a few regulars chased the pool balls around the tables, and I was finishing up cleaning. The man sat down on a barstool, loosened up his tie, and ordered a shot of Irish whiskey. He looked a little sad, sullen, had his head down, but he was old enough and sober enough, and so I served him. He was drinking Jameson, which runs $6. He put a 10 down and told me to keep the change. He downed the shot and said to the bar top in front of him, “May as well leave me the bottle.”

This, of course, got my attention: a man at one in the afternoon wanting to down the bottle of whiskey. “No,” I replied. “What’s going on?” He looked up for the first time at my eyes; surprised that I’d told him that wasn’t happening. We began to talk a little.

He’d just signed his divorce papers and planned on drinking his blues away. I had noticed the grimace on his face as he downed that first shot, so I asked him how often he drank Irish whiskey. “First one,” he said. In fact, he wasn’t a drinker at all, maybe a beer or champagne during New Year’s. He also had never really been in a bar. In his sorrows, he must have collected up some movie image of the morose man going to the bar, tossing his money around like a big shot, unloading his troubles on the wise bartender. “Ah that’s a sad story, pal,” or “Them dames ain’t no good,” could have been my dialogue in his mind’s script. He’d then get wasted and his newly made pals would carry him out under their arms at closing time. A laugh track from Cheers would be heard as the door closed, and everything would be swell.

However, in real life, the stumble out the door is just where things begin. Then comes the potential DUI, the potential hurting of oneself or someone else, the civil litigation.

Best-case scenario: there’s the hangover, the skipping work the next day, the asinine calls and texts in the middle of the night. Six-dollar shots and $4 tips aside, this man wasn’t getting one more. He began to haggle a bit with me; the just one more, the I’m not drunk, the long frown. This turned into a few expletives and a march out the door. None of this is in itself unusual. It’s not common, but it happens.

By James Jay

What makes the man stand out is that about a year later, he came back in on a similar slow day shift to apologize. He began, “You might not remember me.” I remembered him and said his name. “Yeah,” and then he went on to say sorry and that he’d gone down the street to another bar, got loaded, ended up in the drunk tank, and the like. He really appreciated that “I cared enough to tell him no.” We shook hands, chatted some more; he seemed like whatever dark place he had been in was passing him by. I hoped so anyway.

Over the years I’ve seen many versions of this drink-your-blues-away man or woman.

I tell this story as the holidays approach because this is the time of year when I see most of it. You have folks who usually don’t drink doing more of it than they typically do.

Folks who aren’t usually in bars find themselves there with visions of Coyote Ugly or Roadhouse dancing in their heads. If you fall into this first-time or infrequent drinker, then don’t go crazy this time of year, particularly if it’s some sort of sadness or stress driving you to do so. It doesn’t end like the TV says.

Now, I say this as a person who sells alcohol for a living, so it might seem contradictory. But there are two reasons it’s not.

First, ethics. If I feed a plethora of booze to a sad or inexperienced drinker and justify doing so by saying I need to pay my bills, then I should fire myself. It’s immoral to do so. Second, I’d rather have a person come in regularly and have two beers each week throughout the year than have a person come in once and down a dozen shots and end up arrested or worse, and I never see them again. You don’t have to be an accountant to crunch which way is more profitable.

You don’t have to be a philosopher to know which way is right. As the holidays set upon us, it’s essential for bartenders and patrons alike keep their wits about them. Slainte.

For more than 20 years, James Jay has worked in the bar business from dishwasher, bouncer, bartender, bar manager to pub owner. He is the author of two critically acclaimed books of poetry and his poems have been selected for the New Poets of the American West anthology.
