As part of the farmers market festivities, the free event features mini-performances under a main tent, with interactive classes in a side tent designed to introduce kids to classical instruments. Other stages will host vocal improvisation classes and representatives of local music businesses. Children and adults are encouraged to bring their own instruments or to play those provided by the Chamber Music ensemble. The finale culminates at Middleton Place on S.C. Highway 61 in a party reminiscent of Spoleto Festival USA. While seating starts at 5:30 p.m., those who want to participate in the contest for “Best Picnic Display” at 6:30 need to arrive in time to set up and get settled.

The Restaurant at Middleton Place has also organized special seating for those wanting to dine on the Lowcountry plantation cuisine while watching the concert. For those craving an elegant affair, Nikolajevs has a special plan: white linen tables and chairs will be provided for premium seating. “This way,” she grins, “those who want to make a black-tie night out of it can, and those who just want to sit out under the sky and be with friends and family can, as well.” Not surprisingly, the premium seats for Thursday and Friday have already sold out. But all other tickets ($10$35), special student tickets (generally $5) and information are available at Mozartinthesouth.org.

The legend of Public Enemy can’t be described easily. Chuck D and company have had an immeasurable impact on music since the early ’80s. Political hip-hop. That big clock around Flavor Flav’s neck. The song “Fight the Power.” Chuck D’s voice. It’s all ingrained in our culture, whether you like the music or not. And it’s amazing that they are playing here in Charleston. For me, hip-hop didn’t have much bite until I heard Public Enemy. I will always commend them for using their voice for change. So many who are in the spotlight don’t take full advantage of the fact that they can help us shift our thoughts toward positivity. Kevin Young’s article on Page 20 really explains this well. I urge you to read it, and also see the band when it comes to the Music Farm on Wednesday.

Lowcountry, Pee Dee hook up around music A
trip to Florence recently opened my eyes to the nearby opportunity to work with other South Carolinians on jazz, cultural heritage and grass-roots development. One of Charleston’s firstcall rhythm sections had been engaged by Florence native and jazz giant Houston Person to perform at a benefit for a community organization. Pianist Tommy Gill, bassist Kevin Hamilton and drummer Quentin Baxter went up I-95 on Aug. 27, headed to the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology off U.S. Highway 52. The gorgeous auditorium there was the
venue for a benefit being staged by the Wilson High School Athletic Association. Houston, a graduate and inductee of the group’s Hall of Fame, was the attraction. By all accounts, including mine, he is one of the greatest living tenor saxophonists and his music has been popular around the world for decades.
His Palmetto State upbringing continues to inform his art. Houston’s straight-ahead, hard-bop interpretations of jazz sound even better these days — refreshing, even — given the backdrop of the more synthetic sound of popular music today. His approach to his instrument and his sound are bluesy, elegant and full of emotional meaning. Quentin loves the blues, too. It comes through in everything he and his bandmates do and have been doing for years. So they’re quite at home with Houston. And loving it. That feeling wafted out from the stage onto the
room that Friday night on waves of rhythmically interesting, melodically beautiful sounds. It was so compelling, it didn’t take very long before the audience was totally engaged. We all got what we had come for: high quality, entertaining art that was the result of four virtuosi working together, humming like a swinging sewing machine. The Great American Songbook came alive. The band was as polished as mahogany with the likes of Duke Ellington and Harold Arlen. For instance, when it played “Stormy Weather,” blue melancholy just dripped out of Please see JAZZ, Page 9E

their instruments and into our souls. All of this, the formation of this Sandlapper band, came about as a result of the Charleston Jazz Initiative’s Legends Festival this spring during the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. Quentin and I are coprincipals in the College of Charleston-based research project. Our colleague, Dr. Karen Chandler, organized a series of events celebrating the state’s jazz legacy, including centerpiecing Houston in a garden party concert with this band. Karen oversaw co-chairs Dorothy Harrison and John Tecklenburg and a host of volunteers in the expansive effort. Houston also was featured in a special big band put together for the occasion. Preparations for these events revealed that this band would work. Everybody is technically proficient. They all are wellversed in the jazz language and the music’s canon. They have similar sensibilities, on and off the stage. And they’re all native South Carolinians, standing on the cultural shoulders of the many great ones who came before them. They know who they are and what their social mission is as practiced through their craft. An exchange with Houston last year while I was recruiting him for the CJI project revealed one of his motives. He liked the idea of playing Charleston from the beginning and said as much several times. Then in one of our phone conversations, he said very poignantly, “It’s about time someone did something like this for South Carolina jazz musicians.” The garden party at the
Faith& Values Sundays in
Stern Student Center was a smash. Social interaction, rehearsals and the performance did just what we had hoped it would. We wanted a working band to evolve that would have Houston as artistic and musical director as well as featured performer
By the way, I found out between sets some people from Charleston had driven up to the concert. (I had thought during the first set I had heard some Charleston-like enthusiasm in the house.) Sure enough, among them were Henrietta Snype, famed Mount
Singleton and I traveled to Florence a couple of years ago to teach all the county’s middle school students about the region’s jazz heritage at a workshop Karen organized. I was so moved by it all, I committed to working with them however I could. Like

That’s exactly what the gig in Florence was. There had been a rehearsal in Charleston the week before. Houston drove down to the coast after motoring to Florence from the New York City area, where he’s lived for years. The day of the gig, Quentin coordinated everyone’s travel to Florence, arriving on time for a 2 p.m. soundcheck, which he managed. Houston noodled on his horn while Quentin made some adjustments to the equipment. He would occasionally look up; and when he got the nod — that’s all it was, a nod — from Quentin, he was ready to play. There’s already a basic trust between the two. That bodes well for the future of this band. During the soundcheck, I had a chance to meet George White, WHSAA president. During the break at the show, we spoke again and he asked me to bring greetings from Charleston.
Pleasant sweetgrass basketmaker. She was at the garden party in Charleston, complete with vinyl records in hand for Houston to autograph. Henrietta, I’ve discovered, is probably the biggest Houston Person fan in South Carolina. She made me promise that I would go on stage and tell people that the band was from Charleston. She looked like she was waiting to get on Houston for not having said that yet. She had chatted him up in Charleston. With their personalities, as I know them, I’m sure Houston will never forget Henrietta. They both give as well as they get. It’s a good thing, it turned out, that George asked me up. When I said hello from Charleston, an audible whoop arose in the house. As they had been all night, the people from the Pee Dee were gracious and very welcoming. Many came up and said they had been to the garden party. They were effusive in their praise and in their thanks for honoring their homeboy. I also met some folks who remember when Karen, Quentin, Kevin, Charlton
CJI and other jazz history entities in the state, the Wilson group has chosen jazz music that’s contextualized in the social history of its geographic area to recognize, honor and develop their mission of bringing people together. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Florence Morning News praising George’s group, which ran Friday. Here’s an excerpt from an e-mail I got from George on Saturday: “There are times in our lives when we meet someone and urgently feel a connection; such was our meeting at the table going into Houston’s appearance on June 4, 2010 in Charleston. A group of my officers and I will be coming to Charleston later this month and I am anxious to dialogue with you again.” I think there’s going to be more and more traffic up and down interstates 26, 95 and 20 in the days to come. A lot of it to a soundtrack of jazz.

n 2006, I got the brand new iPod nano as a Christmas present. At that point, a lot of my friends already had ventured into Apple-land with the original iPods and basic Macbooks. But the nano was my first taste of Apple and my first chance to ditch that bulky discman. Almost five years later, I still have the nano (technically a replacement because technology and I are not friends and if there’s a way to break something, I’ve found it) and I still love it. And over the past five years, Apple has seemingly created a (sleek, and probably black) product for many of our favorite electronics. There are computers – iMac, MacBook and so on; MP3 players – iPods of varying shapes, sizes and colors; televisions – Apple TV; and phones – iPhone. And for the past couple of years, it seems like every few months Apple is launching some new product or version of an existing product. But are we all that excited with each unveiling of an Apple product or are we tired of the Apple obsession? This spring, the tablet computer, iPad, debuted. Last week, Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, revealed the latest Apple products, including a revamped iPod nano (again) and a social networking feature to iTunes (Ping). The nano was originally

It’s transformed significantly throughout various updates, with last week’s nano revealed to be just a touch screen, and much, much smaller than any previous model. This latest version looks way too small and way too easy to lose. The social network feature to iTunes, Ping, is an interesting idea, but I doubt it will ever pick up. Surely people will sign up, but if Ping doesn’t earn widespread use, then will Apple maintain it? The new layout is fine, but I don’t see a ton of people actually using Ping since social networks like Facebook and MySpace already make it easy to share music and list favorites. Apple is famous for keeping details about new products hush hush. And the latest version of the beloved iPhone, version 4, has turned out to have some bugs and many consumers are turning to android

Apple recently reinvented the iPod nano with multitouch interface. phones, which offer many of the same features without the limitations of the iPhone. I think Apple needs to stop tweaking its basic products and calling it the latest version. Like with the iPod. As a consumer, it was a lot easier to shop for or even just browse the iPods when the version were original (the bulkiest, but with the
most memory), iPod nano (teensy-sized but perfectly hand-sized, and iPod shuffle (without a screen, but more affordable). But now, with so many Apple products, versions and updates, it’s just confusing. It’s almost impossible to keep straight which version of which device features Internet, music, phone, or a combination.

’m not exactly a fan of scrapbooking, but about 10 years ago I started keeping a style scrapbook. It sort of happened accidentally. I’d collected an envelope full of clippings from magazines like US Weekly, Vogue, Lucky, Harper’s Bazaar and W. They were pictures of mostly celebrities whose personal style I really liked. Eventually, I taped the clippings into a sketchbook. For the next few years that scrapbook became my personal archive of style as I added more clippings. It was a great source for finding inspiration in what to wear and for experimenting with my look. It quickly became obvious that there were certain celebrities whose style I consistently liked based on the number of clippings I had of them. There was practically an entire section devoted to Kate Moss, who is such a fashion icon. When you deconstruct almost any outfit of hers, the pieces are so simple — vintage, designer,
Other celebrities in my scrapbook included Helena Christensen, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kirsten Dunst, Sienna Miller and Sarah Jessica Parker. My scrapbook was more than just pictures of personal style, though. It had an entire section devoted to beauty products.

Locally owned and loving it Thumbs Up
There’s a lot to be said for personal touch, something typically lacking when visiting most fast-food chains. Our lives get so hectic that we settle for meals on the fly, where quality suffers for quickness and the overall experience is cheap in every way—but at least we get what we pay for. Yet, there are exceptions to the fast-food rule. Visiting Summerville recently, I was delighted to learn that the “Tasty Express” was still open on North Main Street. Over a decade ago, my parents were living in Pinopolis and the locally owned fast-food joint was a regular stop when taking the Highway 17 exit off I26 toward Moncks Corner. When exiting right, about one mile on the left you’ll

The unfortunate closing of 52.5 Records already has been covered in Charleston Scene, but if we’re talking about the appeal of small, locally owned businesses over corporate chains, owner Clay Scales has been serving Lowcountry audiophiles their music on a more intimate level for years. 52.5’s musical mission was always primarily a labor of love, and it always showed. Kudos to Scales, who for over a decade kept the spirit of the independent record store alive. And a big thumbs down to the end of an era.

Erica Marcus so my heating bill doesn’t skyrocket. I am from New England. Recently, I came to my senses, packed everything
up (minus coats, boots and mittens) and headed for the Lowcountry. So what will I miss about my home in Boston? Autumn. Not just the brilliant foliage, but the hot apple ciders and steaming bowls of New England clam chowder. Luckily for me, the cuisine down here easily rivals its counterpart up North. I picked the brain of Sean Brock, McCrady’s executive chef and this year’s James Beard Best Chef Southeast, to see what we can look forward to on Charleston menus this fall. Greens and lettuces thrive here in the autumn, so
Brock says to look for several types of mustard greens, dwarf bok choy and “cool Japanese greens” on menus around town. Another big trend this season will be different varieties of root vegetables such as turnips, “old school rutabagas” and various carrots and radishes. Sound boring? Not when the best chefs around are growing and cooking things you’ve never even heard of. “We have this beet seed that goes back possibly 1,000 years,” said Brock. The Crapaudine is the oldest beet in existence, and you’ll see it in both hot and
cold dishes at McCrady’s (look for it paired with squab and in a Giddy goat cheese salad). And the usual fall favorites are back, in a big way. “There are hundreds of varieties of pumpkins that are just out of this world. We’re going to start to see various varieties of things we’ve never seen before and that’s what people are going to be getting excited about,” said Brock. Different varieties of the same ol’ same ol’ will upgrade your home cooking as well. Head to the farmers markets and look for things like blue hubbard squash
and cushaw squash. Brock suggests buying anything you see that you don’t recognize. “Strange, unique things” are bound to be on menus this fall. I spent last Saturday at the Charleston Farmers Market in Marion Square to see if anything unusual caught my eye. While most of the produce was fairly typical, one table featured more than 10 varieties of tomatoes with names like Chocolate Striper, Japanese Black Truffle and Pink Brandywine. As for everything else, you may just have to hit some downtown eateries this season.

The Black Crowes
BY MATTHEW GODBEY Special to The Post and Courier
Robinson brothers stay true to their roots 20 years after debut album
Curren$y Friday at The Music Farm
It was almost over. At just 24 the New Orleans-based rapper Curren$y had left his deal with No Limit Records to pursue other interests. Then came a chance meeting at a basketball game. He was just a teenager when he signed with Master P’s No Limit Records but, after years of disappointment with the promotions and production of his mix-tapes, Curren$y, whose real name is Shante Franklin, decided to retire from the rap game to focus on his other interests of skateboarding and fashion design. Less than one year later, Franklin ran into his old elementary school classmate Lil’ Wayne at a New Orleans Hornets game. The fellow New Orleans rapper convinced Franklin to record some new tracks with him and Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman. Following the studio sessions, Lil’ Wayne signed Franklin to his label Young Money Records where he remained until 2007. Franklin then signed with Amalgam Digital, which released his first two studio albums, “This Ain’t No Mixtape” and “Jet Flies.” Franklin is currently signed to Damon Dash’s DD172 label and is touring in support of his latest studio album, “Pilot Talk,” which was released in July. Curren$y will perform Friday at the Music Farm, 32 Ann St., with Righchus and Benjamin Star. Tickets are $15 in advance, $18 the day of the show and are available at www.etix.com or at the door. Call 577-6989 or visit www.musicfarm.com for

Griffin House Sunday at The Pour House
With seven albums over the last eight years, there’s little doubt that acclaimed singer-songwriter Griffin House has kept busy on the writing front over the years. His latest album, “The Learner,” was released earlier this year behind the surprisingly poppy single “She Likes Girls”. Griffin House will perform Sunday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Hwy., with Tyler James. Doors open at 8 p.m., show starts at 9. Tickets are $15 and are available online atwww. etix.com or at the door.

Expect The Black Crowes to put on an energetic show on Friday. Lead singer Chris Robinson is a true rock showman. BY DEVIN GRANT
Special to The Post and Courier
T
here are plenty of bands out there that claim to carry the rock ’n’ roll torch, and then there is the Georgiabased rock band The Black Crowes. Few acts currently touring and recording can live up to the Crowes’ repu-
tation as “the Most Rock ’n’ Roll Rock ’n’ Roll Band in the World,” as the British music magazine Melody Maker once dubbed the group. Led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, The Black Crowes, performing Friday at the Family Circle Magazine Stadium on Daniel Island, originally started in Atlanta as “Mr. Crowe’s Garden” in 1984. From the start, the idea behind the band was to keep alive the true sound and spirit of blues and rock music; the sort of music performed and recorded by such acts as The Rolling Stones, Faces and Buddy Guy. The strength of a demo tape got the
band signed to Def American (now called American Recordings), and in 1990 the band released its debut, “Shake Your Money Maker.” On the strength of songs such as “Jealous Again,” “She Talks to Angels,” and a cover of Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle,” that first release went multi-platinum, selling more than 3 million copies. Since that illustrious beginning, the Crowes have been consistent in two primary ways. First, throughout the band’s 20 years of recording, little has remained constant aside from the quality of the band’s music. Aside from the Robinson brothers, only drummer Steve Gorman has remained a member for the full life of the band. Numerous personnel changes,

reports of verbal and physical disagreements between Chris and Rich Robinson both on and off the stage, and a self-imposed hiatus from 2002 to 2005, often left fans worried for the future of their favorite band. Secondly, as promised at the dawn of the band’s creation, the music has remained the focus. Drama within the band, Please see CROWES, Page 20E

Dick Dale
GUITAR LEGEND: THE VERY BEST OF DICK DALE (Shout!Factory)
Many folks under the age of 40 first discovered the music of Dick Dale during the opening credits of the film “Pulp Fiction.” That’s Dale shredding his guitar on “Miserlou” after John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson finish talking about the “Royale with Cheese.” In truth though, Dale has been delivering his brand of surf guitar music for almost a half-century. Viewed as one of the originators of the surf guitar sound, Dale still tours at age 73. If you missed his blistering performance a few years ago at the now-defunct Cumberland’s, you missed a truly awe-inspiring show. Shout!Factory has released a new compilation, “Guitar Legend: The Very Best of Dick Dale,” that covers the musician’s entire career, from early tunes such as “Let’s Go Trippin’ ” and “Miserlou,” to rare Bsides and nontraditional album tracks. One of the best moments on this new collection comes with the inclusion of Dale’s duet with the late Stevie Ray Vaughan on the surf classic “Pipeline” from the 1987 film “Back to the Beach.” Hearing these two guitar masters shredding together is enough to get anyone with a pulse up off the couch and doing the Frug in the middle of the living room. All hail the king of surf guitar! (A)

KEY TRACKS: “Miserlou,” “Pipeline,” “Esperanza.”
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark HISTORY OF MODERN (Bright Antenna/ILG) Mention the 1980s synth band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and chances are your mind drifts to the hit “If You Leave,” which was featured in the iconic John Hughes film “Pretty In Pink.” The band had several other hits during that decade, and was always recognized for its originality, even in a time when it seemed that every band sounded somewhat the same. On “History of Modern,” OMD’s first album of new material in 14 years, the reunited band demonstrates that it is indeed possible for a classic ’80s act to release an album of music in 2010 that sounds contemporary while still being able to stick to its Reagan-era musical roots. Songs such as “New Babies: New Toys,” “If You Want It” and “Sister Marie Says” will delight old-school OMD fans, while today’s teenagers won’t feel as if they are listening to their parent’s music, especially if they dig contemporary acts such as LCD Soundsystem and The XX. While there are a couple of tunes that seem like filler, for the most part this album represents something rare: a musical act from the past that doesn’t seem desperate with its comeback attempt. (B-)

KEY TRACKS: “If You Want It,” “Sometimes,” “The Future.”
JP, Chrissie & The Fair- JJ Grey & Mofro GEORGIA WARHORSE ground Boys (Alligator) FIDELITY! (La Mina/Rocket Science)
When two well-known artists engage in a May-December romance, it inevitably sets tongues wagging all over. Look at Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart. They were tabloid fodder for years before they finally tied the knot. One of the more recent examples of this sort of relationship to come to light involves Welsh songwriter JP Jones and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. Rather than wait for the tabloids to construct their own versions of the relationship, the two artists have released “Fidelity!” This collection of songs basically tells the story, albeit very abstractly, of the pair’s budding relationship. Since Hynde rarely does anything without her beloved Pretenders in tow, it is somewhat fascinating to see her out of her normal element. The leadoff track, “Perfect Lover,” features Hynde singing the lyrics “I found my perfect lover, but he’s only half my age. He was learning how to stand when I was wearing my first wedding band.” Awkward and romantic at the same time, much like the rest of this offbeat yet agreeable CD. (B)
B
KEY TRACKS: “Perfect Lover,” “If You Let Me,” “Your Fairground.”
JJ Grey is definitely a creature of habit. The Florida-based musician has used a single studio to record each of his five albums, including his latest, “Georgia Warhorse.” In the liner notes on the new album, Grey sings the praises of Retrophonics, saying “To be quite honest, I wouldn’t know how to record an album in any other studio.” Here’s hoping that Grey and his band, Mofro, continue this tradition. I don’t know that a physical studio can affect the feel of a particular album, but each and every JJ Grey and Mofro release has had a definite mood to it, and perhaps this penchant for recording at the same location explains this. Whatever the case, if you have enjoyed past Mofro releases, such as “Lochloosa” and “Orange Blossoms,” then the down home Southern-fried rock on “Georgia Warhorse” will definitely leave you satisfied. From the incredibly catchy funk-driven opener “Diyo Dayo” to slower numbers such as “King Hummingbird” and “Gotta Know,” Grey has definitely found his groove. This is one of those CDs that you’ll play for a long time, and then rediscover a few years down the line and fall in love with all over again. (A-) KEY TRACKS: “Diyo Dayo,” “King Hummingbird,” “Georgia Warhorse.”

Vinyl-loving local songwriter prepares new album

‘D
on’t smile if you don’t mean it.” Simple advice from Charleston singer/songwriter Joel Hamilton. Hamilton, originally recognized for his work in rock bands Kaiser Soze and The Working Title, has been playing shows under his birth name, Joel T. Hamilton, for several months now. He started this project after Inlaws, his musical project with Owen Beverly, got put on hold when Beverly moved to Brooklyn. “Inlaws is taking a back seat right now,” Hamilton said. “Owen is living in New York, and it’s pretty much just me and Owen. While we’re estranged, the Inlaws baby is in the back seat without a seat belt, and Joel’s taking the wheel.” And that he is. Hamilton’s
band is an all-star line-up, with Joel on guitar and vocals, Michael Trent on bass, and Jack “The Burglar” Burg on drums. The band has been recording their new album, which is due out Nov. 13. The CD release will be another episode in the “Shrimp Records Presents” concert series. The album has Hamilton very excited. “There are 12 songs. I’m going to do vinyl. I can’t fit all the songs on vinyl, so there will be more songs on the digital download. I’ll probably make a CD and burn it and put the CD in a recyclable paper bag.” The artwork for the album was done by Helen Rice, an artist featured at Eye Level Art and a friend and favorite

When Hamilton was asked about the subject matter of the new album, he responded in a half-joking, half-serious way that was elusive and intriguing. “(It’s about) all kinds of stuff.

CROWES From Page 14E
as well as changing musical styles and tastes have not affected the ability of The Black Crowes to deliver album after album of good, old-fashioned rock ’n’ roll with a kick. Over the course of the band’s career, it has released nine studio albums and several live recordings. The Black Crowes’ live shows have earned a reputation for their quality and sense of spontaneity. The set list changes every night, so fans are assured of a different show each time. The current tour, named “Goodbye to the Bad Guys” by the band, offers something a bit different for even seasoned Crowes fans. The band will perform a pair of 90-minute sets. The first set will be all acoustic, a nod to the Crowes’ current studio album, “Croweology,” which features a generous helping of Black Crowes classics rerecorded acoustically. After a short break, the band will return for a plugged-in second set of completely different songs. The dates already played on the tour have proven to be a grab bag of Crowes hits, deeper cuts, and well-chosen covers. At the Aug. 29 show in Denver, the acoustic set featured songs such as “Hotel Illness,” “She Talks to Angels,” and a cover of Gram Parsons’ “She,” while the electric set included “Remedy,” “Jealous Again,” and “Thorn in My Pride.” A couple of days earlier, at the show in St. Louis, Mo., the acoustic set included “Wiser Time,” “Good Friday,” and “My Morning Song,” while the electric set featured songs such as “High Head Blues,” “A Conspiracy,” and a cover of Joe Cocker’s “Feelin’ Alright.” What The Black Crowes choose to play during either set Friday is a mystery, but that is half the fun of seeing this band live.

It’s 20 years later, and due to a series of mishaps, I’ve yet to see a P.E. show since that first one. Until now. This Wednesday, the group will take over the Music Farm. The place will be packed with all kinds of fans. Some of those fans will be there to revisit their youth while hearing a couple of the group’s more popular songs, such as “911 is a Joke” and “Fight The Power.” Some will be there to see Flavor Flav do his thing on stage, while others will be curious about old school.

inspired me to read and learn how I could help deal with these problems. The music taught me how poor communities could avoid self destruction. It’s because of Chuck D. and P.E. that I wanted to be a community leader. “I remember when I heard Chuck D. say in an interview that P.E.’s goal was not to go platinum, but their goal was to create 5,000 new community leaders by the end of their record contract. When I heard that, it became my mission to become one of those community leaders. I never stopped seeking leadership opportunities and I have been blessed to enjoy many, thanks to the inspiration of Chuck D.,” he said. The group was such an inspiration to Gunn, that he approached Chuck D. to pen the foreword to his book “The Audacity of Leadership.”
Coming back
Fast forward back to March 2010, when I interviewed Chuck D. for the first issue of Charleston Scene. “Hello, Kevin how are you?” “Hey, Chuck, how you doing?” I responded “I’m good. It’s just one of those days.” I had series of great questions, but unfortunately, after the phone rang and Chuck D. introduced himself, I blurted out, “It’s been 20 years. When are y’all coming back to Charleston?” I think I got my answer.

No matter the chef, the locale or the charity, LIME Charleston will have Dos Santos’ passion for sharing food and building community as the central focus. “Her passion for food is enormous, and her talent is equally so,” says Holly Herrick, cookbook author and food critic. Herrick has worked with Dos Santos on Slow Food Charleston events and said she loves the chef’s energy and focus. “Her beacon is simplicity and her commitment to slow food.” For Dos Santos, it is simple. There is a variety of food that comes from this area, but she doesn’t see that variety on a lot of tables. She sees people often bored with food while being afraid to try new things, and she wants to change that. “LIME is a lot about education, too.

Normally, we would not advocate skipping meals, but it is Restaurant Week! If you feel like skipping breakfast so you can have two dinners, we totally understand. Through Sept. 19, more than 70 local restaurants will participate in this event sponsored by the Greater Charleston Restaurant Association. Each participating restaurant will offer either three courses for $20 or three courses for $30. In the last few years, Charleston has become a culinary mecca, not only for the South, but also for the United States. This city has produced three consecutive James Beard Award-winning chefs and continues to wow diners and critics from much larger cities. Restaurant Week provides an opportunity to sample the food that you have been reading about, at a more reasonable price than you might expect on an average night. The Ocean Room, for example, is offering three courses for $30 that include such delights as Mibek Farms Sirloin with Anson Mills farro verde, Sidi’s chanterelles, and black truffle summer jus or Charleston tilefish with late summer squash, curry, coconut and basil. McCrady’s is also offering three courses for $30, and for an entree, you can choose between grouper served with baby squash, zucchini, N.C. blue crab, and nasturtium jus or the beef duo with Johns Is-

land carrots and Mepkin Abbey mushrooms. Social Restaurant and Wine Bar will be participating at the three for $20 level, offering a choice of hanger steak, pan-seared scallops or Thai shrimp scampi for entrees. Brad Ball of Social thinks Restaurant Week is a great opportunity to get new diners into his establishment. “ We participated in the first restaurant week and were very surprised by the response. It boosted our cover counts and the best part was the amount of first-time diners at our establishment. It really gave us an opportunity to showcase what we do to a whole new group of guests. We are very excited about achieving the same results this time as well.” Mickey Bakst of Charleston Grill is also excited to see who comes into the Grill this year. He says, “Having participated in last year’s Restaurant Week, we at Charleston Grill are really thrilled to be a part of it again this year. Last year, we chose to be involved as a way to introduce new guests to what we do at the Grill. It was an amazing success; it also was an opportunity for us to provide those who might not be able to afford to come to the Grill regularly a chance to experience it.” For this week, at least, those “special occasion” restaurants don’t have to be for a special occasion. You have the chance to sample some of the amazing food that this city offers, and for a reasonable price.

But service is snappy and efficient. Promise, the tableside guacamole preparation ($6.89), chock with wedges of avocado and squeezed
lime, achieved some sort of land-speed mark. The restaurant has several signature dishes, including the adequate Chimi Poblano ($8.79), a crispy flour tortilla filled with chicken or shredded beef, fried up and topped with cheese dip. Then there’s the Poblanos Steak ($9.25), two poblano peppers fitted with grilled skirt steak or chicken (rather surprisingly given the dish’s title) and melted cheese. It’s a total Poblanos affair actually, as the restaurant incorporates an eponymously named dip, salad, Ranchero chicken breast sandwich, burrito supreme, surf and turf, and shrimp plates. Poblanos deviates slightly from its contemporaries, offering other shrimp, salmon, tilapia and grilled fish plates
to go along with its assortment of tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas. But mostly, it’s an homage to the familiar, for better or worse.

Do you like gin?
Then this Joint is for you
I
’ve always been a secret fan of gin, and of places where it’s acceptable to have two fancy drinks instead of 10 cheap ones. The Gin Joint, one of Charleston’s newest hot spots, is a great place to sip something slowly, take in the atmosphere and chat with bartender Joe Raya. He can mix up something for you that seems dubious until you taste it, and realize that our great-grandparents were really onto something. Q: How is business so far at the Gin Joint? A: It’s been excellent. No complaints. Q: How would you describe the vibe of the place? A: Casual, friendly, yet classy. We like the feel of the Casablanca bar, where people are dolled up and having a good time, but we want it to be laid back too. We focus on pre-Prohibition cocktail recipes. Q: What’s an example of a pre-Prohibition cocktail? A: We have an entire menu of them. Some of them listed on the “fancy cocktail” menu page are really old. They follow very specific ingredient ratios. Q: What drink do you find yourself recommending often? A: For summer, it’s been the Gin Basil Smash. It’s really refreshing. But, we also ask our customers what they prefer, and we make something to suit their tastes. Q: Do you serve beer and wine? A: We have one white and one dark beer. We change the taps regularly. We don’t do bottled beer. Right now, we have Phin & Matt’s Extraordinary Ale for white, and Al-

The comics on the Southern Comedy Quartet Tour want to break out. One of the comics, Nate Bargatze, says, “You know how country music is changing?

Here’s a younger group of guys from the South that aren’t doing typical stand-up. There’s smart Southern comedy, too. People think that if you’re from the South, you’re an idiot. It’s not that we’re not idiots, just different,” Bargatze says. Bargatze lives in New York with his wife. Conan O’Brien is a fan, and Bargatze appeared on his shows twice. He’s taken on

Illustrator Mike Edge lives up to his name BY VIKKI MATSIS
Special to The Post and Courier
M
ike Edge will have his first solo show in Charleston during September at Rick Rhodes Photography. “EMOphobia” features Edge’s colorful marker and pencil illustrations. You won’t be able to see all of his work, though. Edge had to Edge pull three of his pieces from the show because they were deemed to be too graphic or offensive. Edge uses childlike materials and characters to express his artwork in a way that is highly political and serious. Every issue Edge explores has affected his life in some way. “I create art because the things I see as an artist seem to go unspoken in everyday society. My work is heading toward society’s critical view of celebrity versus society’s forgiving view of itself,” he said. When viewed as a whole, Edge’s artwork is thematic and has a driving narrative behind each drawing that comes together to tell a story. The artwork is dark, surreal, beautiful and humorous. Edge says that he is inspired by “intense EMOshun” and that emotional unrest is ultimately good for the growth it inspires. Edge goes by the moniker “m-dot.” While he’s not creating art or music, he teaches at The
Art Institute of Charleston. Meet the artist at the opening reception tonight; his artwork will be on display until the end of the month. “If I were not an artist, I would have been a psychologist. I love studying people and how they think. But I continued on the path of an artist when I realized I wasn’t cut out for business or corporate America,” he said. NEXT EVENT: EMOphobia. 5:30-8:30 p.m. Sept. 9 at Rick
Rhodes Photography, 1842 Belgrade Ave. WEBSITE: www.m-dot.deviantart.com. CONTACT INFO: medgemail@aol.com, 912-247-9578. BIRTH DATE AND PLACE: 1977, North Myrtle Beach. RESIDENCE: Goose Creek, two years. FAMILY: Mother, Joyce; father, Butch. EDUCATION: Bachelor of Arts in painting, minor in creative writing, Francis Marion University, 1999. Master of Fine Arts in illustration, Sa-
vannah College of Art & Design, 2003. CAREER: Freelance Illustrator/graphic designer; instructor at The Art Institute of Charleston; songwriter,

“Cover an honor with an honor”isanoft-quotedcatch-phrase. Today’s deal shows one example of when the saying is downright wrong. I was an innocent spectator at one table where, after South made an aggressive jump to six diamonds, West led the heart queen to dummy’s king. Declarer then drew trumps and played ace and another spade. With spades breaking 3-1, the slam went down. The score sheet showed that only one declarer had brought the contract home. Here’s how. Afterthesamelead,declarernext playedthediamondaceandadiamond to the jack. When both opponentsfollowed,declarerappreciated from the bidding that West could hold no more than two spades. Seven hearts for his pre-empt, coupled with his partner’s failure to open a club preempt marked him with at least two clubs. (If West held a singleton, East would have had eight and would surely have bid.) So the play of a spade to the ace, hopingforasingletonhonorwith East, then a spade toward the jack, which would hold the losers in the suit to one if West had started with three cards to an honor, was destined to fail. The correct continuation at trick four is the spade jack, playing East for K-Q-2 and West for the bare 10. Also, East might instinctivelycoverthejackwiththe queen or king from a three-card holding — which was exactly what happened.

Special to The Post and Courier
From magazines to Mozart, we’re sticking with the “M’s.” Actually, this week’s trivia is in celebration of “Mozart in the South,” a festival held Sept. 9-12 and produced by Chamber Music Charleston. The finale concert takes place Sunday at Middleton Place. Last week’s winner, Josh Frasier, is being challenged by “shop girl” Rosemary Bishop. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
AP
QUESTIONS
1. Where was Mozart born? 2. Serenade No. 13 for strings in G Major, K. 525 is better known as what famous piece of music? 3. Mozart wrote the most concertos for what instrument? 4. What earlier composer was a huge influence on Mozart, particularly regarding his symphonies? 5. Which opera was written first, “Don Giovanni” or “The Marriage of Figaro”? 6. This 1984 film directed by Milos Forman won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. 7. At the time of his death, what work of Mozart’s was left unfinished? 8. One of Mozart’s serenades ends in a Turkish rondo. What jazz musician paid homage to Mozart in the title of his “Blue Rondo A La Turk”? 9. What one-hit wonder sang the 1980s song, “Rock Me Amadeus”? 10. What is a Mozartkugeln?
JOSH’S ANSWERS 1. Germany. 2. Classical music isn’t really my thing. 3. Violin. 4. Bach if he came before Mozart. 5. “Don Giovanni.” 6. “Immortal Beloved” with Gary Oldman. 7. A symphony. 8. Chris Botti. 9. What decade? 10. Those green felt hats they wear in Germany.
CONCLUSION So Frasier didn’t get to enjoy his status as Head2Head trivia champ for very long before his title was snatched away. While neither contestant had a very impressive score in our Mozart trivia, Bishop came away with the win.
ROSEMARY’S ANSWERS 1. Oh, it’s either Salzburg or Vienna, and I’m going with Salzburg. 2. I don’t know what it’s called. 3. Piano. 4. Beethoven. 5. “Marriage of Figaro.” 6. “Amadeus.” The only reason I know that is because I added a bunch of AFI’s Top 100 movies to my Netflix queue, and that movie was one of them. 7. Was it an opera? 8. John Coltrane. 9. I know the song but not the artist. 10. Some kind of horn instrument.
CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Salzburg 2. “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” 3. Piano 4. Bach 5. “The Marriage of Figaro”
6. “Amadeus” 7. “Requiem” 8. Dave Brubeck 9. Falco 10. Candy, specifically a bonbon

EAR ABBY: “Cautious Bachelorette” asked you how she should respond to a workman who asks if she lives alone. Having worked 30 years in a maximum security prison, I can assure your readers that criminals gravitate toward jobs that provide access to people’s homes, so “Bachelorette’s” concern is well-founded. I advise single women to keep a few articles of men’s clothing, such as a jacket, work boots and other items, visible in their homes. — RONALD A., WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (RETIRED) DEAR RONALD: Readers agreed that setting the stage (with an invisible housemate) is an effective way to give the impression that you do not live alone. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Take a suggestion from a senior citizen who has lived alone for many years. Singles should
DEAR ABBY purchase clothing of the opposite sex and display them prominently so they can be seen by any stranger who comes into their homes. — SAFE SENIOR CITIZEN IN THE SOUTH DEAR ABBY: Here’s how I give the illusion of not living alone. I often leave things outside like a shovel, my brother’s flip-flops, or I toss a baseball cap onto the porch swing. — LONGTIME READER IN EL CERRITO, CALIF. TO MY MUSLIM READERS: It’s time for the breaking of the Ramadan fast. Happy Eid al-Fitr, everyone. May God make yours a blessed feast.
