mmylou Harris returns to Philadelphia for one night only performance at the Academy of Music on March 26, 2013 at 8 p.m. with Rodney Crowell and Richard Thompson Electric Trio in support of new album release, Old Yellow Moon (February 26, Nonesuch Records). Old Yellow Moon, a new collaborative album from Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell commemorates the duo’s longstanding friendship featuring four songs written by Crowell as well as interpretations of songs such as
E
low Moon is the first official collaboration from the duo since Crowell joined Harris’ Hot Band as guitarist and harmony singer in 1975. In addition to Harris and Crowell, the album features world-renowned musicians including Stuart Duncan, Vince Gill, and and Bill Payne, as well as members of the original Hot Band. Harris says of the collaboration, “I first heard Rodney on a demo tape in 1974 and knew immediately from his voice and lyrics he had the right stuff. We met soon after, becoming band-mates in the Hot Band and starting a friendship that has continued and grown over the years. I always hoped we would someday do this record, and now I can finally cross it off my bucket list!” Crowell adds, “The record’s overall tone calls to mind that Southern California blend of country music and rock and roll pioneered by Linda Ronstadt, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons and, of course, Emmylou and The Hot Band.” For tickets, visit www.kimmelcenter.org, 215-893-1999, or at the box office located at Broad and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, PA.

hysicist, businessman and inventor, Thomas E. Tauber has a mission: to make physics understandable. He explains the structure of matter in “From Quantum, to Quark, and to the Higgs Boson” at Main Line MUFON Tuesday, March 19. The 6:30 p.m. meeting at Tredyffrin Public Library, is free to the public. For information, online visit www.MainLineMUFON.com or email MainLineMUFON@ comcast.net. What does it matter that we understand physics? Dr. Tauber replies, “Matter is in every blade of grass, each piece of meat, every chair, car, in air, water, beer or wine—including us. My mission is to de-mystify the quark, quantum physics and even the Higgs Boson” he smiles. Holding degrees in engineering and physics and a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Lehigh University, Dr. Tauber came to America on a Fulbright Scholarship from his native Vienna, Austria. While managing research and development for a privately held aerospace company in the Philadelphia area, he earned eight U.S. patents for inventions that enhance the safety and reliability of jet engines and helicopter propulsion systems. Most large com-
P
mercial aircraft carry his systems or devices. Since retiring as president of that firm, Dr. Tauber has re-kindled his passion for physics, developing a presentation on the who and what of physics. Stressing that the structure of matter is understandable, (although not simple), he chronicles the recent discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of nature. On March 19, Physicist Thomas E. Tauber, of Lansdowne, will present “From Quantum, to the Quark, and to the Higgs Boson,” a primer on why matter matters! “I’m aware that most of us haven’t had physics since high school, so I’ll convey the marvel of the physicists’ work in plain English. And of course, questions are always welcome.” Main Line MUFON meets each month (mainly Tuesday evenings) at 6:30 p.m. at Tredyffrin Public Library, 582 Upper Gulph Road, Strafford, PA 19087. The meeting is free and open to the public. For info, contact Jennifer W. Stein: MainLineMUFON@ comcast.net or call 610-613-0088.
