Grombacher shares love of traditional cowboy music

Kerry Grombacher performed recently at Stone Soup Studios.

career was during his younger days.

“I was playing drums in rhythm and blues and blues bands between 1967 and 1970,” Grombacher said “I also played folk music in coffeehouses at the same time.”

In 1970 he moved to Austin for college and continued playing until domestic life pulled him away.

When his first wife died in 1991 it was life-altering on many levels.

“At that point I went back to playing music and writing songs in Austin,” he said.

Identifying as a Westerner, penning cowboy friendly tales is a natural fit for Grombacher.

When he composes songs Grombacher strives for authenticity and embraces detail.

“The key is to have enough detail in things to please the people who know what I’m talking about, and who know more about it than I do,” he said.

“But not to overwhelm people with such esoteric detail that they’re completely turned off.”

Listening to country greats like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell during his youth instilled preferences for song content.

“I like songs that talk about towns, town names, street names and geographic locations,” he said.

Like any songwriter worth their salt, Grombacher understands the art of the hook.

“There has to be something that draws them in, sets the stage, sketches the landscape and tells them the story,” he said.

Since his first performance here at Cowboy Songs and Range Ballads, the allure of Cody was obvious.

“When you can walk out of the Irma Hotel at 2 a.m. after playing music, there’s a light snow falling and you’re walking on that wooden boardwalk, if you squint your eyes and you don’t look too hard and you’re back in the 1880s,” he said. “Just to go back in time like that is kind of magical.”

By GREG ELLISON Staff writer Western folk troubadour Kerry Grombacher appreciates traditional cowboy music.

“The ability to tell stories in songs is really part of cowboy music and Western music in general,” he said.

The singer/songwriter recently visited Cody for a performance at Stone Soup Studios.

He credits cowboy poet Bud Strone for sparking his interest in Western music.

“He invited me to a cowboy poetry gathering in 1996,” Grombacher said. “I had some outdoorsy Western songs I’d written.

“I took a few of my Western songs out with me to Arizona that year and fell I love with the genre.”

Stone Soup owners Linda Raynolds and Elijah Cobb are longtime friends with Grombacher.

“Kerry’s been stopping in on us this time of year for the last dozen years,” Cobb said.

New Orleans is his home base for half of the year.

“I’m usually on the road from May until early December,” he said. “Those are my touring months.”

He’s made regular appearances in Cody since about 1999, he said.

Although Grombacher performs in a number of the same cities throughout the West, he has a special affinity for Cody.

“I’ve developed friendships with a good handful of people,” he said. “There are some places where I have those type of relationships, but probably not as broadly as I have in Cody.

His musical roots trace back a half-century.

“I started playing music when I was 10,” he said.

He began with drums and then became a picker.

“I started playing stringed instruments, autoharp guitar and mandolin, between the time I was 14 and 20,” he said.

Folk band plays Oct. 21 at Meeteetse Schools

With 10 instruments between them and 53 strings to tune the husband and wife duo Otter Creek will perform Oct. 21 in Meeteetse.

Otter Creek burst onto the national folk scene in 2012 with back to back hit albums.

In the four years since they began playing together, Peter and Mary Danzig have won multiple awards for their instrumentals, songwriting, and arrangements of traditional and original tunes.

They have drawn praise from around the country leading one critic to describe them as “a duo that is both a technical marvel and tastefully perfect.”

Their second album “Shiver Into Spark” has garnered attention as a collection of “songs that appeal to the heart and mind as well as the ear” and a work of “superb musicianship underpinned by stunning technique,” says Greg Harness of Rootsworld Magazine.

They have performed with the Salt Lake Choral Artists and the Southern Nevada Musical Arts Society in the Utah and Nevada premieres of Carol Barnett’s Bluegrass Mass, and performed with the Utopia Early Music Ensemble in programs that blend classical and folk traditions.

In addition to their polished sound as a duo, Peter and Mary’s daughters “The Three Muses” will appear on stage with them.

The performance will be 7 p.m. at the Meeteetse Schools Gym.

Peter and Mary Danzig of Otter Creek play a total of 10 instruments.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. They are available at the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, Powell Valley Chamber of Commerce and the

Meeteetse Visitors Center, or at the door. Tickets also may also be purchased at parkcountyartscouncil.org.

For more information call the Park County Arts Council, 899-6693.

Concert series kicks off Oct. 26 in Cody l u a PMcDermand The Community Concert Series kicks off Sunday, Oct. 26, with Paul McDermand playing the steel drums and marimba.

Paul McDermand plays streel drums and marimba.

The concert will be 2:30 p.m. at Wynona Thompson Auditorium.

McDermand began his musical career as a freelance percussionist in the Chicago area. At age 19 he assumed the percussion duties on a popular theatrical production, playing in one of Chicago’s downtown theaters. The show was called “The Magic Man,” and its star was another teenager, David Copperfield.

In 1981, McDermand moved to the Phoenix area, lending his artistry to film scores, commercial jingles, symphonic productions and stage shows of every description. The list of bigname entertainers with whom he has performed is vast – Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Johnny Cash, Liberace, the Temptations and the Moody Blues have all tapped his considerable talents.

In 1993, McDermand received an invitation from New York to

join a revival tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Jesus Christ, Superstar,” featuring the stars of Norman Jewison’s 1973 motion picture. He accepted, anchoring the rhythm section during soldout performances throughout the world’s finest theatrical venues.

Upon his return to Scottsdale, he began to develop an assortment of instrumental arrangements built around the steel drums and marimba, resulting in numerous CD releases.

Tickets for the concert will be on sale in the lobby the night of the performance. Ticket are $20 for adults and $10 for students.

Kids 12 and younger are free.

They can be purchased at the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, Accents Florals and Treasured Memories in Cody, and Marquis Awards in Powell.

Classic posters on display in Powell through Nov. 30

By TRAVIS SMOLA Staff writer Aliens, atomic warfare, and land and sea monsters all are part of an exhibition coming to Homesteader Museum.

“Terror in the theater: Fifties Fears” is an exhibit in Powell of vintage movie materials from science fiction movies from the silent era through the late 1980s.

Included are movie posters, stills, lobby cards, handbills, pressbooks and more.

Scripts for the “Planet of the Apes” movies will be on display. Also included are TV scripts for shows like “Lost in Space,” “Outer Limits,” “Circle of Fear” and “Night Stalker.”

“I’ve wanted to host this exhibit since I first saw it,” Homesteader director/ curator Rowene Weems said.

She requested the traveling exhibit more than a year ago to secure it for Halloween.

The exhibit Oct. 23-Nov. 30 will be part of their annual “Haunted Homesteader” events.

She says most of the exhibits focus on the 1950s – the “golden age” of science fiction.

Weems says many of the movies featured have hidden messages about fears of the time. The messages are mainly about the threat of atomic weapons.

“I’d never realized they were so symbolic of the Cold War,” Weems added.

She says many of these messages still ring true today.

“Everyone still is worried about the Russians,” she added.

Vintage movie posters featured include “The Day

The popularity of the re-release seemed to encourage more monster movies to be created.

the Earth Stood Still,” “Invasion of the Saucer-Men” and “Forbidden Planet.”

Other exhibits include scans of original movie posters originally owned by Forrest Ackerman, a wellknown early science fiction

fan credited with publishing the first science fiction fan magazine and starting the first fan club.

Rick Ewig of the American Heritage Center in Laramie got the idea for the exhibit while going through a large

collection of items donated

by Ackerman.

“I found all these wonderful posters,” Ewig said. “I remember watching these films.”

He says not many people are aware of the issues examined by the films.

“Many people don’t realize the serious topics those movies were addressing,” he said.

Ewig says the popularity of monster movies and the science fiction genre was spurred by the 1960 re-release of the original “King Kong.”

“The popularity of the re-release seemed to encourage more monster movies to be created,” Ewig adds.

The staff also is excited for the exhibit.

“I think the posters are kitschy,” said Brandi Wright, registrar and collections manager at the museum.

Can’t live without favorite ramblings morning food group – coffee By: René Huge

Coffee is a food group – best served hot and first thing in the morning.

Several servings per day are the preferred daily allowance.

Like stinky cheeses or wine, coffee is an acquired taste, though maybe not one that takes as long to develop. And like the aforementioned, it’s a beverage that, as a child, I associated with grown ups.

I don’t remember consuming coffee until I was an exchange student in Brazil my junior year of high school. They served it like rich, roasted syrup.

My first experience in the coffee world was full-on espresso – sweeter than sweet – served morning, noon and night. That’s how I learned to drink coffee – rich, strong and sweet. (Sounds like the start of a bad joke.)

Imagine my disappointment when I came home to Folgers instant.

This was about the time the rest of the country seemed to be waking up to the varietals within my new favorite food group as well, but long before there was a Starbucks on every corner.

It was a traumatic time. Here was this delicious beverage I had just discovered in tropical paradise, that was suddenly proving unavailable to me in Middle America.

Oh, you could find the watered-down diner version, but the espresso I sought was only found in fancy restaurants in places like New York or Chicago. (Well, at least that’s how it seemed in podunk Columbus, Ind., at the time – extremely inaccessible.)

When my Brazilian friend Aldi came to stay with us I remember watching her stir up her own special concoction in an effort to simulate espresso. She would put

instant coffee in a coffee cup and add just enough hot water to the huge dose of instant coffee and sugar to dissolve all the granules.

She would vigorously stir the mixture, making an almostpaste-like substance.

Then she’d finish off her “make-do espresso” with a little extra hot water or percolated coffee – and call it drinkable.

That’s how I learned to consume coffee, like espresso.

I still like it strong and, until recently, still drank it sweet.

But like the myriad of other things changing in my life, that too has made the cut. Bye-bye sugar.

I was genetically blessed with a high metabolism.

Now I fear I am hormonally challenged with the great slow down of that same, somewhattaken-for-granted high-speed metabolism with which I was so blessed for so many wonderful years.

Finally the day has come when I no longer can eat without thought. So, in an effort to be a more thoughtful consumer, I decided to eliminate sugar from my coffee.

This was difficult, initially.

After 30 years, I felt like I was losing an old morning friend. But I’ve grown accustomed to this new way of drinking coffee and reserve sugar in my coffee for special occasions.

It’s more of a treat now when I drink it sweet, and I don’t really miss the sugar on a daily basis.

As long as I don’t have to give up my favored morning food group – the world in general is a better, sweeter place overall for everyone – especially me – even with no sugar in my coffee.

I still have it in my tea.

Western author speaks Oct. 25 at library

By SCOTT ALLEN Staff writer Robert Vaughn is a Western man.

Vaughn, 66, moved to Cody four months ago to be closer to his son Lucas, who migrated north with his wife and daughter to escape the Arizona heat.

“When my son told me he was going to move I said, ‘If it ain’t cowboy, I ain’t going there,’ and was excited when he picked Cody,” Vaughn said.

“I love the people, the terrain and the wilderness.”

The West is a favorite for Vaughn because he enjoys writing Westerns. That led him to self-publish two books, “Cold Creek Justice” and “Guns-Grit-n-Women.”

Vaughn writes under the pen name “R. Orin Vaughn” and decided to self-publish because of his friend Mike Brose’s encouragement.

“I saved money for a while before a friend, who published three books, told me to look at createspace. com,” Vaughn said.

It’s a print-on-demand service owned by Amazon.

It’s an a la carte service that enables people to self-publish books, video and other media for free. Create doesn’t promote the products, but they are available on Amazon.

Vaughn said getting published is the hardest challenge for writers.

“It’s so hard to get published the traditional way,” Vaughn added. “It’s a catch22 – you need an agent to get published, but you have to get published before you can get a good agent.”

Using creatspace.com, Vaughn published Guns-Gritn-Women in April and Cold Creek Justice in June.

He’s been writing since grade 5, but stopped while working for General Motors.

He retired in 1994 and quickly picked up his old skill.

“After I retired, I moved to Arizona and started looking

Robert Vaughn has self-published two books this year.

He writes well and uses threaded action and good character development throughout his stories. Louis L’Amour would have enjoyed his style.

Terry Tarbett, fan of Robert Vaughn’s works

into Western history,” Vaughn said. “I only lived 20 miles from Tombstone, so I sat down and started writing Cold Creek Justice.”

Vaughn prefers turn-of-thecentury and classic Western authors.

“I really like the traditional Western and old style,” he said. “People like Zane Grey and Louis L’Amour.”

He plans to publish two

books in the next year: Guns-Grit-n-Women Vol. 2 and Cash & Carrey.

“I’ll read anything he writes because I like his style and he keeps your attention throughout,” says Terry Tarbett, a physical therapy technician at Gottsche Rehabilitation in Cody.

Tarbett met Vaughn in Cody and soon learned he was an author. He now considers him

his favorite, because of his writing style.

“I grew up reading Louis L’Amour and that’s who Robert reminds me of,” Tarbett said. “He writes well and uses threaded action and good character development throughout his stories. Louis L’Amour would have enjoyed his style.”

Besides writing, Vaughn currently is training to drive a school bus for the Cody School District and has been a benefit fundraising auctioneer since 2001.

Vaughn will discuss selfpublishing Saturday, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. at the Park County Public Library. He will be selling and signing his books.

His works have been out less than a year, but Vaughn says he’s received nothing but good feedback.

“I’ve never had a bad review,” he said.
