Former area artist Keiter getting noticed S
ometimes you just have to stick with things, hoping they come through and working your tail off to get to completion. Especially in the jazz business. Rob Keiter, a trombonist and vocalist who spent a lot of years in the Charleston area, is a good example. Keiter, who now lives in Oklahoma, recently released a CD that’s been a work in progress for some years now; but after hearing it a couple of weeks ago, I would say it was well-worth it. It’s a great record. It’s called “The Glory of Love,” mostly love songs composed by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein, Harold Arlen, Hal David, Burt Bacharach and others. Keiter grew up in Florida and lived around here from 1997 until last spring. I didn’t know him, but we know many of the same people. I probably heard his name, or even met him briefly, but as I am very firmly ensconced in middle age, my memory is not the best. Anyway, Keiter tells me he served as music director for Cathedral of Praise and Pierpont Baptist churches. He had a voice studio where he taught voice, piano and music theory. He sang and played
fore making the trip to California to record. So, I really thought I was finished with the grief process and wouldn’t have a problem recording this heart breaking song when in the studio. “What happened took me totally by surprise. When I came to the third line, ‘One girl for my dreams, one partner in paradise ... ’ tears started gushing down my face like a torrent with no kind of heads-up.” It was like a flashback. Everything is cool now, though, and he’s enjoying Charlton Singleton on Rob Keiter his new life, he said. Who knows. Making the record might have been cathartic. Opening yourself up while playing jazz can do that. It’s a form built around emotion. “I’m very blessed as I can still laugh and am not a bitral art. ter person,” he said. “And “The Glory of Love,” released on Keiter and Amber music was a big part of my healing.

Rob Keiter in front of the Blind Tiger Pub on Broad Street in downtown Charleston. trombone at Gennaro’s for more than 10 years as well as singing at High Cotton with John Slate and Don Hennessey. He was pals with Herb Day, a trumpeter and leader of the music program at The Citadel who passed away in September and who used to sit in at Gennaro’s on Thursdays. Jazz master Charlton Singleton remembers working with him, also at Gennaro’s. I talked to Charlton the other day about hearing Keiter’s record and how impressed I was. His recollection was, “He was really accurate with his
playing, singing, and scatting, very animated, and he really enjoyed what he did. It was quite evident with the way he moved and interacted with us.” Keiter’s story is touching, full of humanity. The more you’ve lived life, the more you’ve gone through the ups and downs, the better prepared you are to play jazz, a form of music that is directly reflective of the player’s life experience. When played properly, it’s pure self-expression. The better performers convey their ideas, feelings and view of the world through their autobiographical, au-
a particular highlight, handled with a delicately urgent ache that ideally captures the lyric’s pensive melancholy. “The biggest surprise is, however, how masterfully Keiter reinvents Neil Sedaka’s rather sappy ‘Laughter In the Rain.’ What begins as a straight-ahead balladic reading opens up into a rapidly accelerating swinger, complete with an impressively accomplished scat chorus, then settles into an easy mid-tempo.“ Keiter’s record also got covered in the Hollywood Reporter, an entertainment trade publication. Columnist Stacy Smith commented in her Nov. 1 piece that after Keiter’s breakdown in the studio, the engineer thought it was so moving, they would not do another take. “In fact, Keiter and his collaborators, producers Rob and Amber Whitlock, ended up re-recording other songs instead, feeling he’d attained a new level of singing from the heart. The album is meant to be a journey from the thrill of early love through its different stages, including loss and then new hope.” The production standards, emotional appeal and content of this record make it a real find. Order it at Keiter’s website, www.keitermusicservices.com, Amazon.com or buy digitally at iTunes. Watch out, though. You might fall in love. If you are already, it’ll get deeper. If you’ve been hurt, it’ll soothe the pain. Jack McCray, author of “Charleston Jazz,” can be reached at jackjmccray@aol. com.

are Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.); Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis); Peter’s wife, Sarah (Michelle Monaghan); and Peter’s best friend, Darryl (Jamie Foxx). It’s a buddy road trip movie, so most of the screen time goes to Peter and Ethan’s adventures. You see, Peter needs to get back to Los Angeles from Atlanta in a matter of days, in time for his pregnant wife’s due date. And his transportation ends up being a guy he meets at the airport, Ethan. It’s pretty obvious that they’re not future best friend material. With Ethan’s interesting little dog, Sonny, in tow, the two set off on their cross-country drive. Peter’s a pretty straightlaced, down-to-business kind of guy. Ethan’s a mellow, kooky, childlike character who wants to be an actor. The CBS show “Two and a Half Men” is “special” to Ethan, who while driving
reveals that he has glaucoma. And is narcoleptic. Basically, if something can go wrong on their adventure, it will. While some reviews have said that the two aren’t an “odd enough” odd couple, I disagree. “Due Date” easily could have gone wrong, fallen flat, or gotten boring. But it moves quickly, has nice scenery, and Galifianakis deserves the hype he gets for being funny. I left the theater feeling so much better than when I walked in because I got to turn off my brain and laugh ridiculously. And for bonus laughs, I played around on the “Due Date” website, which has a few fun interactive features including “Tremblay Yourself” (make a headshot similar to Ethan’s from his portfolio), a driving game and, best of all, Tremblay’s fan site for “Two and a Half Men.”

or runners and walkers, November joins March as the busiest when it comes to races and events. And of all the weekends, this one is the busiest and most varied, including a noncompetitive, untimed 2 miler and a charity walk to a challenging 10-mile run and a cyclocross bike race. Kicking off the weekend is the Holiday Festival of Lights Fun Run and Walk at James Island County Park tonight. It offers a preview of the lights for all you holiday fanatics before everyone else can see them. However, if you haven’t already purchased tickets, you’re out of luck. The PRC’s website says it’s sold out. The fun in this weekend’s events doesn’t stop there, however. The third annual Knology Pajama Run and Walk, a 5K to raise money for the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center for “below the waist
cancers,” will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Joe Riley Stadium. Participants are urged to wear pajamas, or whatever clothing they sleep in, for this event. Following the run around Hampton Park, hang out for the pajama party and awards ceremony. Get the whole scoop on the PJ5K, including pics from last year’s event, at www. knology.com/pajamarun. That charity event might mix with another one being held at Hampton Park on Saturday. The Roper St. Francis Healthcare Ryan White Program will host its second annual AIDS Walk 9 a.m.noon Saturday at the park. The two-mile walk will start at 9 a.m. and activities, including stuff for kids, will follow. Strollers and pets are welcome.

I’m not really sure what made it a “rummage” sale as opposed to a “garage” sale exactly, but it was huge. The space where we had coffee hour every Sunday was set up a like a miniature department store. There was a women’s section with dresses and coats hanging on racks, and folded items such as pants and sweaters displayed on tables. Accessories, including cateye sunglasses (very “now,” by the way), costume jewelry and structured lady bags, had their own little display space off to one side. An area in front of the sliding glass doors was the shoe department, complete with

said “bring it on” in my column last week, and boy did they bring it. What an amazing weekend! It started out with the LOVE Red show, a fundraiser for Lowcountry AIDS awareness hosted at Rachel Gordon’s ONE boutique on Upper King. There were pieces by Karen Silvestro, Julio Cotto, King Street Studios, Eric Bradshaw and others. Later that evening, we met several artists and others from the “Women Painting Women” show at Robert Lange Studios, including Mario Robinson from Ann Long Fine Art, as well as Joshua Rose and Amy Elliott from American Art Collector Magazine, at Carri Schwab’s house on South Battery that functioned as a satellite gallery for overflow of the pieces from the show. Friday night’s art walk was busy with packed galleries everywhere. Karen Ann Myers’ show at Scoop was filled with all of Charleston’s hipsters, Michael Kahn’s blackand-white photos at the Martin Gallery were being oohed and ahhed over and Jerry Georgeff, the Gourmet Chef, was painting live at Mary Martin Fine Art. After the Art Walk, several participants met at Social, nibbling on pizzas, and then it was off to the new Gin Joint. The Charleston Fine Art

Fortunately, people paid more attention to the art than the chill in the air. Shannon Runquist did a great still life of doughnuts and coffee (with everyone threatening to eat the doughnuts).

magine Charles Dickens writing “Oliver Twist” after imbibing in laudanum with Mary and Percy Shelley and analyzing his dreams with Sigmund Freud and you would have Neil Bartlett’s surreal adaptation of Dickens’s realistic Victorian novel. Bartlett is known for adapting classic novels for the stage with a modest budget and reduced cast in mind. In their bistro-style theater, The Village Playhouse’s production of Dickens’ didactic classic is gloomy and sometimes grotesque, but also humorous. Bartlett’s play remains true to Dickens’s plot. In 1830s England, Oliver Twist, “the offspring of a guilty union,” is born out of wedlock to an anonymous woman and man. His mother dies in childbirth with only a gold locket to identify her. Oliver is raised in the parish workhouse for children until age 9, when the head parish administrator, Mr. Bumble, offers 5 pounds for him to passers-by, reminiscent of a slave auction where interested buyers discuss his apparent health and negotiate a price. After a harrowing experience with the Sowerberrys, who paid 3 pounds for him, Oliver escapes to London and meets up with Fagin’s gang of young thieves. The familiar story continues as he then enters a world of crime and violence. In Dickensian fashion, virtue is rewarded, sin is punished and delusions lead to destruction. Bartlett boldly proclaims Dickens’ strongest condemnation of Victorian society’s hypocrisy toward the poor. The overall production is
Greenish hues and shadows enhance the sinister souls of Fagin and Bill Sikes. At times, the actors are unintentionally in dark pockets. The haunting sound of children’s laughter and a music box playing nursery tunes convey the twisted world of London’s poor children. Sound cues often drown out the actors initially, but then settled into a more appropriate volume. Julie Ziff’s costume design reflects the characters’ psyches and perhaps their destinies. The colorful layers are set off by their contrast with the white walls, especially Nancy’s garish red-and-black satin and lace. Fagin’s tattered clothing is accented with a ragged scarf that resembles cobwebs on a corpse and long, gray scraggly hair. Rose’s ill-fitting wig and Mr. Brownlow’s mismatched sideburns are distracting in an otherwise well-costumed cast. K.

Matt MacKelcan Friday at The Windjammer Charleston native, by way of Orlando, Fla., Matt MacKelcan began making a name for himself as an adult contemporary singer/ songwriter after winning “Best Male Vocalist” at the Singer Songwriter of America’s 2005 competition.

gional radio success. Subsequently, MacKelcan earned spots opening for some of his biggest influences, including Edwin McCain, Gavin DeGraw, Brett Dennen and Howie Day. MacKelcan’s brand of acoustic-pop is made noticeable by his bold voice that quivers with a smooth, soulful touch reminiscent of Glenn Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket and Edwin McCain’s trademark pipes. MacKelcan was recently invited to perform at the acclaimed SXSW and Sundance Film festivals. He will perform Friday at The Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Blvd. Tickets are $5 at the door.

yler Boone is a local musician who is playing for a cause. Boone has scheduled four different benefit shows in the Charleston area, and is planning his fifth. After recently losing his grandmother, Boone has been planning “Concert for Cancer,” a benefit show featuring the Deep Water Soul Society, Calhoun’s Calling, Kara Hesse, Brother, and Tyler Boone himself. “I thought it would be perfect to have Calhoun’s Calling also play this event since the lead singer, Nathan Calhoun, is also a cancer survivor,” Boone said. The event is slated for Dec. 18 at the Music Farm downtown. Money raised will go directly to the Cancer Research Society. Donations can be made at www.feedthemuse.net/tylerboone.

Joal Rush WARES (Independent)
While the advent of inexpensive computer programs has made it possible for just about anyone to record a CD on their own, it is always nice when a local artist goes the extra mile and makes a professional-sounding recording. Case in point is “Wares,” the new independent release by Joal Rush. Originally from Camden, Rush has lived here in Charleston for the last few years, and has gained more than a few fans thanks to good honest talent when it comes to both songwriting and performing. Almost all of the 11 songs on “Wares” demonstrate why Rush’s star is on the rise. “Another Start,” the CD’s kickoff track, seems tailor-made for radio play, and features an undeniably catchy hook that reminds one of bands such as Better Than Ezra or Toad the Wet Sprocket. Elsewhere on the album there are songs such as “Hard to Be (The Heartbreaker)” and “How Do You Feel” that you would almost swear were covers of songs by more established artists, but these are all Rush originals. Jay Clifford pops up to arrange the strings on the lovely “Burdened,” and guest musicians such as Robbie Rush, Harris Gardner and Tommy Carnes contribute to other tracks. It is plain to hear that Rush spent a considerable amount of time making sure “Wares” sounded good. As a result, this local release sounds like a major label release, and should definitely get him noticed outside of South Carolina. KEY TRACKS: “Another Start,” “Hard To Be (The Heartbreaker),” “Burdened”

Megan Jean and the KFB DEAD WOMAN WALKIN’ (Independent)
Listening to “Cemetery Man,” the kickoff track on “Dead Woman Walkin’,” the latest CD from Megan Jean and the KFB, is like listening to the soundtrack to some long-forgotten Max Fleischer cartoon. Jean has one of those wonderfully husky voices that would be just as at home crooning an R&B tune as it is singing her preferred style, which runs equally between blues, rockabilly and country. Listening to “Cemetery Man,” I could picture the blackand-white Fleischer skeletons dancing in unison to the backup singers’ calls of “get up, get up,” while Jean does her best to channel a more feminine, less bellowing Screaming Jay Hawkins. Meanwhile, Jean’s husband, Byrne Klay, both plucks and bows his bass throughout and even plays some great clawhammer banjo on one of the CD’s best tracks, “Hoka Hey.” Songs range from slow and lonesome, as on “Northern Winter,” to rockabilly fast, as on another of the album’s best tracks, “Demons.” The spooky “Welcome to the Big Top” sounds as if it would be perfect for one of Tim Burton’s earlier, darker films, while “Big Bad Wolf” really allows Jean to show her vocal range. Also notable is the album’s abstract artwork, created by Klay. In the few short years Jean and Klay have been making music here in Charleston, the pair have definitely made a name for themselves. “Dead Woman Walkin’” is the next step in that journey. Check Megan Jean and the KFB out for yourself as the band throws a CD release party this Saturday at Eye Level Art at 103 Spring St. at 8 p.m. KEY TRACKS: “Cemetery Man,” “Hoka Hey,” “Demons”

Mumford & Sons SIGH NO MORE (Gentlemen of the Road/Glassnote)
Every so often I get a chance to hear an album that stops me in my tracks with its beauty. “Sigh No More” by the English group Mumford & Sons is just such a record. Some have taken the easy way out and called them the U.K. version of the Avett Brothers, and while that might begin to explain the band’s sound, it ultimately sells it short. Picture the Avetts joined onstage by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Fleet Foxes, The Waterboys, and the folkier parts of Van Morrison and The Flying Burrito Brothers, and you might get an inkling of the type of sounds that wait for you on this ridiculously gorgeous album. Lead singer Marcus Mumford has one of those voices that make the hair on your arms stand up. Hearing him harmonize with his bandmates on the CD’s title track makes for a glorious introduction to the band’s sound. The instruments are mostly acoustic, and the entire feel of the album is wonderfully organic, almost as if the band gathered in a living room with a tape recorder running and played some songs in between downing a few pints. That isn’t to say that this is an amateur sounding recording. Every note is lovingly and professionally captured on songs that include “The Cave,” “Roll Away Your Stone,” and “Little Lion Man.” This is easily one of the best things I have heard all year. KEY TRACKS: “Sigh No More,” “The Cave,” “Little Lion Man”

Die Antwoord $O$ (Cherrytree/Interscope)
Like any other style of music, hip-hop occasionally needs an act to come along and cleanse the musical palate. It has happened in the past with acts such as De La Soul, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and Eminem. Each of these acts managed to turn heads with its debuts because it sounded like nothing else out there. The latest act to shake things up comes straight out of South Africa. To say that Die Antwoord has a unique sound is just getting started on how this act is different. Comprised of a rapper who calls himself Ninja, an albino female singer who goes by Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and a mysterious DJ, “Hi-Tek,” who always seems to have a stand-in in the group’s videos, this rap act has more buzz surrounding it right now than a nest full of angry hornets. The group’s debut, “$O$,” features Ninja’s rapid-fire raps coupled with Vi$$er’s child-like vocals. It’s new, it’s different, a lot of folks more used to regular everyday hip-hop probably won’t be able to handle it, but for the rest the sound of Die Antwoord will likely cause an epiphany. “Enter the Ninja” is the album’s centerpiece, but there are other great tracks that prove this group is no one-hit wonder. “In Your Face” sounds like what might happen if Jane’s Addiction went hip-hop, while “Fish Paste” and “Beat Boy” likely would get Missy Elliott to nod her head in appreciation. Perhaps this group has spent all its talent on this first release, but I hope not. In an era where 90 percent of hip-hop all sounds the same, it’s nice to see someone once again shake things up. KEY TRACKS: “Enter the Ninja,” “Fish Paste,” “Beat Boy”

In Her Bedroom at SCOOP Studios Redux executive director
Karen Ann Myers was the featured artist Friday night at SCOOP Studios on Broad St. for her solo exhibition In Her Bedroom. In this new collection of work, Myers continues her intimate exploration of what it means to be a women in today’s society. Despite SCOOP’s tiny space, art walkers and members of the arts community happily stood elbow to elbow to view Myer’s newest works. SCOOP Studios directors Colleen Deihl and Saramel Evans expertly mingled with the crowd, both sporting fantastic headwear fashions. Lady of the night, Karen Ann Myers, was radiant as she happily chatted with the gathered crowd. Featured among the paintings was the recognizable face of Karen Briggs, a contributer to Charleston Scene, who’s image was later projected on the side of several Broad Street buildings thanks to tech-guy extraordinaire Alex Rosen. Stuffy art opening, indeed! “In Her Bedroom” will run through the end of November.

Knowledge is power.
Homegrown artistic talent fills the Music Farm again BY STEPHANIE BURT
R28-383547a
Business Review
Special to The Post and Courier

W
WHAT: Second Lowcountry Artist Market WHERE: Music Farm, 33 Ann St., downtown WHEN: 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday COST: free MORE INFO: 577-6969
hen Kristen Thompson Gastaldo got married last September, she wanted to do something special for her bridesmaids. So she got custom pieces of jewelry for each of them from a seller she found on Etsy.com, a website with sellers in more than 150 countries whose mission is to enable people to make a living making things, and to connect makers with buyers. Just by coincidence, she noticed that her seller was local, from Charleston. And so she searched Charleston with the shop local function on the website. “I realized how much local talent was floating around,” she says. “And I had a venue at my fingertips.” As general manager of the Music Farm, the popular live music venue on Ann Street, she was aware of what times the space might lay dormant and she realized there was talent to fill that space. The Lowcountry
Artist Market was born. The first artist market was earlier this year, and this Saturday, the Music Farm will host the second one. Last time, the event held 40 vendors, but this time, bigger aisles for easy stroller access for shoppers will shrink the number of booths to 33. Still, Gastaldo is proud of the numbers the first event attracted and is excited about the variety of local talent the event showcases. New vendor Kris Galmarini saw one of the posters for the first show in her neighborhood Starbucks, and she thought it was just a really great idea for the area and thought it might be a great jumping off point for her new business, Neve Inspired Clothing.
“I went to the first one, saw the market from afar and wanted to be part of that community,” she explains. On Saturday, she will launch her full line of screen printed handmade children’s clothing for newborns through age 14, which includes original designs created by her and her husband Bob. “What we found there to dress our children didn’t really meet our style, so we decided to make it,” she says, explaining how they enjoy working together to create the line. “But my expectations for the show are just to get my name out there and meet local artists, be part of that community.” Stacey Bradley of Pearla Anne Designs has experience in the artist com-
munity since she has been a full-time artist for more than eight years. Her hand-block printed designs grace greetings cards that she has sold at trade shows and gift markets, but she missed her roots in the handmade studio. “When she (Gastaldo) contacted me, I decided to take a chance. I had been behind the scenes, wholesale, for four years, and this was out of my comfort zone,” she said. But she was pleasantly surprised. “This market blew my expectations out of the water,” she says. “And it felt really good to represent myself.” This time, shoppers will see more lighting, a food vendor, and the popular beverage options of Bloody Marys and Mimosas. The vendors also will have access to electrical power. But despite the planning involved, Gastaldo says this is not a traditional “moneymaker for the Music Farm. It’s just a cool event to be a part of.”

Members perform at band rehearsal at Wiltrout’s house.

ew Music Collective’s music is different. “It’s not polite or comfortable, though some of it is incredibly beautiful,” says coartistic director Ron Wiltrout. “Some shows do have 10 people. But honestly, I would do it without anyone there. People are really appreciative, whether they like the music or not.” The nonprofit organization works to bring new music to Charleston. New, not as in shiny and packaged or recorded yesterday, but new music as in new compositions. Modern. Contemporary classical music. The group works to expose Charleston musicians to musicians from other parts of the country. NMC musician and curator Jason Brogan thinks that the organization’s greatest strength is its location. “The New Music Collective works because it’s in Charleston,” he says. “In New York, there’s hundreds of these groups, but we’re the only ones here.” Charleston native David Linaburg, who now lives in Brooklyn, plays in Morimoto and in the electric guitar ensemble Dither. He comes home for shows at Redux, and has a weekly gig with co-artistic director Nathan Koci, who also lives in New York. “Definitely keeping ties with New York City is a good thing if for no other reason than to bring in an outside perspective/ composer every now and then,” Linaburg
says. “It doesn’t have to be New York City. I think connection to other places in general is beneficial to the scene, while maintaining a healthy local pool of musicians and composers as well. “I think it makes us want to show off what Charleston has to offer to a big scene like New York,” he says. Of the group, Linaburg says, “The biggest thing is that they’ve taken this sort of ‘fringe’ art music and somehow made it cool.”
A series of shows The NMC divides its performances into series every year. They have the Fixed Media series, which focuses on playback and media, and the Silent series that tries to remain as minimal as possible. Friday’s New Music New Charleston show is how the NMC shows it commitment to local chamber music artists. Every year, the group commissions composers to write specifically for local artists. Now in its fourth year, the series has premiered eight works and will offer four more Friday. For the performance at Circular Church, the group commissioned Lisa Coons and K.C.M. Walker. “Lisa Coons is a fascinating composer,” Wiltrout says. “She’s interested in sounds. She lives on a farm with her father, and takes junk metal and makes various percussion instruments. “What she does best is bring out of performers the things they know how to do well.” With Wiltrout, she found that was textural improvisation.
The New Music Collective brought NYC’s NOW Ensemble to Charleston in September.
New Music New Charleston WHAT: Chamber music concert of newly written experimental tunes, featuring two commissioned works by composers Lisa Coons and K.C.M. Walker. WHEN: 8 p.m. Friday WHERE: Circular Congregational Church, 150 Meeting St. TICKETS: $10, $5 students, under 18 free

“Coons mainly writes the timeline of event,” he says. “It’s somewhat specific, somewhat vague. We determine the real intent of her instructions during practice. Text-based music is about figuring out the semantics. She uses specific adjectives. “For example, if you say ‘energetic,’ it’s one thing, but if you say ‘fiery,’ it’s something different. It’s going to mean different things to other people,” he says. “During practice, Sam Sfirri and I go into deep discussions about the way that you can talk about music.” The New Music New Charleston series is the most traditional and formal of the
performances. It’s most like that of a symphony, only lacking a conductor. “Except that it’s all really wacky new music,” Wiltrout says. For the fifth year, the NMC will host the Charleston leg of Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night. Boomboxes replace voices in this caroling experience. “We count to four and all press play at the same time,” says Wiltrout. And the group walks and plays ambient music from City Gallery to Marion Square. The change in scenery, from the Waterfront Park to high-rises around Marion Square, add depth to the moving sound installation. Next year, the NMC will continue its Silent Music series. Pianist and curator Sfirri says the series is an ongoing exploration of music influenced by, and written after, John Cage’s “4’ 33”.” Basically, the series is meant to stay minimal in nature. Mid-March the group will present “Songs,” with compositions by Michael Pisaro and John Cage. Later in 2011, other Silent shows, “Guitar” and “Percussion,” will showcase songs written for those respective instruments. Koci will bring Zaha, a New York-based performance ensemble, to the Lowcountry in late spring. Zaha deals with soundpainting, the sign language for live composition. In July, guitar quartet Dither will be paired with local favorite Morimoto. “The whole point of the NMC was to play music we wanted to play that was lacking in Charleston,” said Wiltrout.

Seasonal specials included local oysters in a stew, North Carolina oysters on the half-shell, acorn squash and a daily entree. The spring rolls ($9) are still on the menu but shrimp and Thai pork now replace the lobster meat. The mycologists in your midst can continue to enjoy the wild mushroom soup with its islands of lump crab ($8). The goat cheese gnocchi ($10), tossed with roasted tomatoes, spinach and basil makes for a simple meal as well as the Northern Italian classic of pappardelle with sauce bolognese ($18): with the basket of warm bread and sweet butter, you have dinner. The chipotle seared ahi tuna with charred serrano chile vinaigrette ($12) ratchets up the heat for those who like to jolt their tastebuds awake. We opted for crisp triangles of polenta ($9), whose faint ghosts of bacon whispered smoke with each bite. The triangles were topped with snappy local shrimp and an emulsified brown sauce tinged with cayenne; it was a plate “licker.” First courses strike a wide range of flavors and cuisines. Sit in the urban comfort of Langdon’s bar and work your way through them. Thoughtful wines, available in a small pour of 5 ounces, allow you to mix and match. Entrees all strike a balance with center of the plate, side dishes and sauces. The Kurobuta pork chop ($28) was topped with honey-flavored
hoisin sauce, which assured depth of flavor and a deeply caramelized crust. Collards and a bacon-larded mac and cheese with leek dice were piquant foils to the lush, pork and the “chewsomeness” of the mac and cheese (a dish that you can order as a side $6) was plush pleasure. A grouper entree ($27) fared equally as well. It was served over a risotto studded with yellow and white corn kernels, bathed in a lobster-seasoned stock and surrounded with the “crema” of the corn and a garnish of micro greens. Surf and turf never had it so tasty. The seasonal fruit crisp ($9) remains on the menu as well as the ever-popular chocolate cake. We opted for the former and found a dessert that met at the intersection of sweet and tart; hot and cold. The warmth of the apples gently melted the scoop of vanilla ice cream into a delicate sauce “trail” and the crunchy oat topping resonated with texture. A dish of resilience that has stood the test of time at Langdon’s. Our server was practiced, thorough and well-schooled in the menu. We felt the leisure to linger but found a few pauses in service that could have been better paced. Langdon’s is vibed for warmth. In these seven years, it has matured into a polished venture: Infusing local ingredients with a mash-up of contemporary flavor notes that honor the love and the obligation from chef Owens’ kitchen.

Chili, motorcycles and Muscular Dystrophy BY KATRINA ROBINSON Special to The Post and Courier
I
t’s fall and the weather’s cooling off, so it’s the perfect time to enjoy some chili. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Low Country Harley-Davidson will team up with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to host the Some Like It Hot Chili Cook-Off. Enjoy music, a variety of vendors, raffle prizes and all-you-can-eat chili. The cost is $4 to enjoy the
treats and pumping party, and if you think that your chili has the chance to be labeled the best in the Lowcountry, all you have to do is pay $25 by Friday to enter the contest. What are the requirements for entering the contest? Both meat and meatless chili are welcome, just bring your chili pre-cooked and ready to eat. Bring at least two gallons so that it can be enjoyed by both the judges and those who attend the event.
Contestants are responsible for their chili, decorating their table and any signage that goes along with the presentation. No need to bring a table, linen, sterno set, cups, napkins or spoons: Low Country Harley-Davidson has you covered. Three prizes will be awarded for the most outstanding chili recipes: the top prize, “Best Chili,” will be determined by a panel of judges and comes with a $500 award. Second place, “Honorable
Mention,” comes with a $150 gift certificate to Low Country Harley-Davidson. Finally, tasters will have the chance to vote on their favorite chili and bestow a “People’s Choice” award. Everyone’s taste in chili is different. So what criteria will the judges use to choose the best? Texture, taste, aroma, and appearance. Low Country HarleyDavidson’s event planner Jennifer Oldal says that she’s more of a traditional girl when it comes to her taste
in chili. “I like a good ol’ robust bowl of chili that has a meaty flavor and a blend of spices that tingle the taste buds,” she says. “It should have a chunky, yet somewhat creamy consistency, not watery, the ingredients should be wellblended together. And I’m a fan of the staples: ground beef, diced tomatoes, green peppers, onions, chili pepper. I’ll leave the apricot and peanut butter chili for the other folks,” she said.
if you go WHAT: Some Like it Hot Chili Cook-off. WHEN: 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. WHERE: Low Country Harley-Davidson, 4707 Dorchester Road. COST: $4 to eat and party, $25 to enter the contest (by Friday). PRIZES: $500 for best chili, $150 gift card to Low Country Harley-Davidson for second place and trophy for crowd choice.

McClatchy Newspapers
he story of an ambitious young television producer trying to juggle work and romance, “Morning Glory” owes most of its existence to “Broadcast News,” and the rest to “The Devil Wears Prada.” Give it credit for being smart enough to borrow from the best. There’s nothing here to match the depth of humanity or richly drawn characters in “Broadcast News”; no unexpectedly original and insightful performance that might compare with Meryl Streep’s in “Prada.” But what you do get is nothing to complain about: an endearing romantic comedy that takes us into a corner of the entertainmentmedia complex that’s never been so effectively captured on screen — the sometimes buffoonish but deadly serious and competitive world of morning news programs. Indeed, this is one of those movies that inhabits its universe so warmly and convincingly that you don’t want to see things end. Rachel McAdams plays Becky Fuller, just fired from her job running “Good Morning, New Jersey,” but given a shot at redemption. A fictional network’s morning show, “Daybreak,” is trailing in the ratings far behind the likes of the “Today Show” and “Good Morning America,” and a world-weary executive (Jeff Goldblum) hires her to turn things around. The only problems: A rancorous, indifferent staff, led by veteran Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and no budget to hire anyone.

at Tillman was many things to many people: a son, brother, husband, friend and, as a player for Arizona State University and the Arizona Cardinals, a football star who drew cheers for his exciting, physical style. But once he gave up his NFL career to join the Army Rangers in 2002 and then was fatally shot in Afghanistan in 2004, he became something else entirely, something larger than life through his death: a symbol of American patriotism, a poster boy, a crucial part of the government’s message. And that turned him into something he wasn’t. “The Tillman Story” attempts to get to the bottom of what happened the day he was killed by following the exhaustive investigative efforts of Tillman’s family, namely, his mother, Dannie, and, in the process, allows us to get to know who the man himself really was. Director Amir Bar-Lev, whose previous documentaries include the smart, suspenseful “My Kid Could Paint That,” approaches “The Tillman Story” as a bit of a mystery, as well. Tension builds as details emerge and the disparity between lie and truth becomes more glaringly obvious. Sometimes it’s little things, like the moment Tillman and his brother, Kevin, decided to enlist, not immediately after Sept. 11, 2001, as had been depicted, but rather six months later.

“Carlton”
“Face Off”
“Self Portrait”
Robert Maniscalco
Artist who paints the ‘poetry of the human form’ appears on Oprah BY VIKKI MATSIS Special to The Post and Courier
R
obert Maniscalco is inspired by the details of life. “The smell of my children’s hair, a crisp fall day in the woods, waves on a beach, light playing on forms, bats, intentionalManiscalco ity, structure, which is freedom, the stuff that
happens while you’re trying to do something else, people getting one another, even when they thought they disagreed, the laughter of children, the poetry of the human form, the unconditional love of a dog, the juxtaposition of unlikely color combinations, the feeling of mud, a prerequisite for the vocation of painting,” he said. Maniscalco’s goal is to be the top portrait artist in Charleston. Trained from a young age by his father in the classical style of oil painting, Manis-
calco has dedicated his life to the canvas. He paints because of the realization that his creativity has intrinsic value and uses his art to express an idea that may influence or inspire viewers, he said. “My goal as a portrait painter is to create paintings that will stand the test of time as compelling works of art, alive with the personality of both artist and subject,” he said. “I think of my work as a celebration and affirmation of life; each portrait is an adventure, exploring
the unique character and personal strengths of my sitters.” Maniscalco also creates portraits in pastel and charcoal. He paints from photographs and is well-known for his judicial, executive, political, religious, military and family portraits. In addition, he creates abstract and nontraditional portraits. On Friday, he will be on The Oprah Winfrey Show. His next event will be a Power of Positive Painting Workshop, Nov. 11-14.

Sometimes the secret of when not to finesse is based on tempos, rather than endplays. In four spades today you might make 12 tricks with only a modicum of luck. However, you will not be receiving much in the way of good breaks today! Declarer won the heart lead and played the trump king, discovering the 4-0 break. South was still optimistic that all would be well and that an overtrick would roll in as long as West held the diamond queen. But when declarer played a diamond to dummy’s jack, East won with the queen and switched to clubs, dislodging the ace. Declarer drew two more rounds of trump, then played on diamonds, hoping that West would follow two more times. However, as so often happens when a hand has been misplayed, there was no reprieve. West ruffed the third round of diamonds, and the defenders took a heart and a club to put the contract one down. Declarer’s e needed to establish the diamond suit in such a way that he could enjoy a discard before the defenders could cash out on him. Suppose he takes the diamond king and plays a second diamond, rising with dummy’s ace. He can now concede a diamond trick to East, who will no doubt clear the club suit. No problem! Declarer draws two more rounds of trump with the queen and ace, then plays a good diamond, throwing a club. West can ruff this trick, but the defenders can score only three tricks.

Survivors’ day offers comfort to families of suicide victims
D
EAR ABBY: My adult son committed suicide. He was an alcoholic with many problems. Every year around the time of his death I become very depressed and emotional. Is this normal? My family thinks I should “get over it.” — EMOTIONAL MOM IN THE SOUTHWEST DEAR EMOTIONAL MOM: Your family is mistaken. Your feelings are perfectly normal. The problem of suicide in America is no secret. It has been in the headlines repeatedly, and more than 30,000 people take their lives annually.
