Country music star to headline 2012-13 Knox Concert Series

By LaTonya Darrisaw ldarrisaw@annistonstar.com

It was formerly known as the Knox Music Club and presented only classical music until the 1960s.

Today, not only has there been a name change, but the music has changed also. The Knox Concert Series provides music and stage lovers with everything from country music and ballets to symphonies and Broadway musicals.

Knox opens its 67th season on Oct. 11 at the Anniston Performing Arts Center with country music crooner Ronnie Dunn who made up half the successful country music and award-winning duo, Brooks & Dunn.

“This is the South, after all, and Knox plucks a stellar entertainer from the roster of country music’s stars at least every other season,” said Patricia Smith, executive director of the Knox Concert Series.

Added to the roster this season is the National Symphony of China, which will perform classical compositions such as Beethoven and musical pieces from Chinese composers on Jan. 19, 2013.

This type of symphonic programming always has a place on the stage at Knox and serves a bigger pur-

pose in connecting students to the music as future patrons and supporters, Smith said.

“We are fulfilling our mission to educate young people to classical music, and we hope to create audiences of the future,” said Rick Westbrook, chairman of the board of Knox. Westbrook also said Knox was proud to bring orchestras from abroad to the Anniston area. “It is an opportunity for us to hear outstanding musicians and for our audiences to interact with artists from foreign countries.”

Other programs finishing up the season include The Russian National Ballet of Moscow on Feb. 22, 2013, the Broadway musical “A Chorus Line” on March 14, 2013, and a fifth concert will be announced later this summer. Just in time for the holiday season is the annual performance of “The Nutcracker” by the Alabama Ballet on Dec. 2, although it is not included in the season ticket.

Knox, according to Smith, is “reflective of the goal of presenting only top quality productions and artists from many genres — from classical ballet to Motown — for audiences of all ages.”

Season tickets for the series are $160 for all five shows. For more information, call 256-741-8262 or 256-235-2553.

Second time around After early success a decade ago, new version of Adelayda making their way

By Erin Williams Special to The Star

Ten years ago, a group of four young musicians from Jefferson County packaged their creative talent into one group and formed the country rock band Adelayda.

Like any group, however, the band has endured success (being signed to a record deal just a few months into their Adelayda bandship) and Opening act, reformation (fallDouble Wide Soul ing out in 2004 and bringing in Style of music: different memCountry rock bers), but the When: 8 p.m. fearsome fourWhere: The some, composed Smoking Moose, of singer/song1214 Noble St., writer and guitarAnniston ist Jeff Holmes; Cost: $10 bass player Dave Contact: Mattson; drum256-741-9300 mer Dan Baker; and lead guitarist and vocalist Justin Gannon, is now older, wiser and back together and are touring and planning to release a new album this summer.

Before they take the stage tonight at The Smoking Moose, Jeff and Dave talked with The Star about going forward as unsigned artists, turning moments of doubt into great music, and why mangled phrases make the best band names.

Question: So it has been 10 years since you released your first EP — what was your goal when you first stepped on the music scene?

Dave: As a group, If I may speak for everyone else, we just wanted our music to be heard … by everyone! We all loved music and how it can have such an impact on people. We also wanted to experience the thrill that is playing music for a living.

Jeff: I don’t remember being at Disney when I was a kid, but I do remember driving to Florida, and the songs that played on the radio on our trip down. Music was a natural choice.

I never had a goal of fame or fortune. I just knew we had songs, we loved to play, and we thought the world should hear them.

Q: Tell me, what your new album will be like?

Jeff: The original album was about dis-

While the new material echoes a lot of those same themes, the delivery of that message has changed. It’s wiser and more introspective. There are still moments of doubt, and I think most everyone will relate.

Dave: We are excited about the new material we are producing. We are taking the personal and musical growth and writing the new material in a true collaborative approach. Over the last 10 years, we all have amassed a plethora of inspiration.

Q: So, what is the 2012 Adelayda like?

What can we look forward to seeing and hearing from you this summer? What’s next for the group?

Dave: We will be starting a campaign to receive donations in order to produce our next EP. Please go to facebook.com/ade-

laydamusic and “like” us to get updates on how you can contribute to the cause! If you make a contribution, you will get the digital album and if you contribute more … you’ll receive some “unique” Adelayda swag.

Q: What is the meaning behind your name, Adelayda?

Jeff: It’s a misread song lyric from a friend of mine. She sang the words ‘at a later’, as Adelayda once while driving in the car with Dan and I. We didn’t let her live it down, and after laughing for a few weeks about it, it just became part of our vernacular, so we kept it.

Q: What is it that makes you want to continue to record and perform music after 10 years?

Jeff: When you get the four of us in a room together, we become the same guys

we were in our 20s. Same old jokes, same shenanigans and the same lust for music. I wouldn’t have it any other way, and that’s why we still do it.

Q: What is an Adelayda show like?

Jeff: Very energetic, and highly emotional. We were always a higher energy band (minus the mosh pit), but we always have had an ability to connect with listeners in a live setting. We always play our songs like they sound on the albums, so it’s always a fun experience for our fans.

Q: Knowing what you know now and having amassed the knowledge and experience behind being in a group, what would you tell your younger selves?

Jeff: No matter what happens, don’t let the “business” jeopardize what you set out to do, and who you set out to do it with.

Noccalula Falls offers amazing views, all of which are free. To get inside the park, there is a cost, which is tiered.

Noccalula Park a good trip any time of year A friend and I have visited Noccalula Falls in Gadsden several times throughout the past year. We love to view the falls and walk through the nature trails on the campground side of the falls — all free.

Also, we peeked in the windows of the lovely church chapel that faces the falls bridge and inside the cabins located several hundred feet behind the chapel. The well-decorated cabins were available for rent, as is the chapel, but no one was staying inside at the time.

We visited the campground lodge, where there was a nice couple waiting on their laundry. They told us they also had shower stalls for bathing. The campground’s playground is brand new, and the swimming pool sits just outside the lodge. The City of Gadsden is building the park area up gradually.

Noccalula Falls is a great way to spend a day, and even a large family can afford the entrance fees to many of the activities.

In the past year, I have visited the park with my grandchildren, especially during the holiday season when the park is decorated in thousands of Christmas lights for “Christmas at the Falls.” Even now, though, park officials make sure children have plenty to do, such as visit the animal habitat, ride a train and buy refreshments. There is also a nearby restaurant.

— Sherry Kughn

The rundown What: Noccalula Falls park, campgrounds and miniature golf.

The park has a pioneer village, a garden, train rides, an animal habitat (woodland animals, a lion and llamas) and seasonal activities.

Open: The falls and its bridge are accessible throughout the year. The park’s summer hours are 9 a.m.-7 p.m. June 4-Aug. 26. (Otherwise, the park closes at 5 p.m., weather permitting.)

Cost: View of falls and walking areas are free. The park is: $6 a person, 55 and older - $4, children 4-12 - $3, children under 3 - free.

Miniature golf: $5 for adults, senior citizens - $4, and children and groups of 10 or more - $3.50 each. Check the website for other costs.

Contact: Call 256-549-4663 or visit www.cityofgadsden.com and click on the photo of the falls.

Shirley Manson celebrates the return of Garbage

By Natalie Rotman

By Randall Roberts

Associated Press

Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Shirley Manson still remembers the words of wisdom Bono gave her about keeping a band intact for the long haul.

“Split the money. You have to split the song writing so everyone is equal. (And) don’t buy houses, so that you don’t get consumed with decorating,” he told her.

That might not have been the most coherent advice, but it’s worked for Garbage: The rockers are still together, and releasing their first album in seven years this week. Though they went on a hiatus, the band (which includes Steve Marker and Duke Erikson on guitars and keyboards and uber-producer Butch Vig on drums) picks up where they left off with “Not Your Kind of People.”

All four share songwriting credits on the project — showing they’re still following Bono’s advice.

Manson talked about what brought them back together, Lana Del Rey and being a frontwoman in rock in a recent interview.

The Associated Press: It’s been seven years — why this album now?

Manson: Enough things had happened to us over the course of the last six to seven years that we were all filled up again — ready to make music from a proper place of enthusiasm and fun. I know I sound like a simpleton but it’s true. When we first sort of broke out, we made music for pure reasons. We really had an amazing run. Then our band grew more successful, and our record company sold us to a major label, who then had major label desires to brand us. When that didn’t really work, they just lost all interest in us. As a result, we were floundering on a label that didn’t care about us. It was really joyless. It stripped us of all joy.

LOS ANGELES — Doc Watson, who died Tuesday at age 89, never had a hit record, and none of his albums ever went gold. This truth, a shame considering his talent, his influence on the guitar and the beauty of his dynamic baritone, should serve as inspiration to any musician interested in the long game, in making music that endures not because of its shock value or its keen marketplace vision but because within its measured tones lies universal truth.

Also reassuring to starving artists should be the notion that the North Carolina-born Watson, who lost his eyesight as a toddler after an infection, didnít record his debut album until 1964, when he was over 40 and had been simmering in North Carolina, perfecting his craft for over three decades. At the time when a bunch of college kids in New York were falling in love with so-called ‘folk music,’ bringing a name to the American-born acoustic sounds created in the rural South, Watson had been playing backup to banjo player Tom ‘Clarence’ Ashley, learning sounds that Ashley, born in 1895, inherited in rural Tennessee.

Unlike the more guttoral, raw folk stuff created by players like Ashley, Bascom Lamar Lunsford and Dock Boggs, Watson at his best was a sunnier presence, less a conduit to the ‘old weird America,’ as Greil Marcus famously described the raw American folk music of the 1920s and ’30s, than the ‘old resilient America.’

Watson, like Pete Seeger and Burl Ives, sang and played in glorious tune, was

Winston-Salem Journal/File

You can spot his picking style by its grace: Itís as though his loss of eyesight had not only sharpened his hearing, but filled with light the conduit that connected his brain to his fingertips.

What he imagined, he played.

And though Watson was better known as an interpreter than a songwriter, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss reminded the world of his prowess when they covered one of his best-known songs on the Grammy-winning ‘Raising Sand’ in 2007.

Amid other classics, the pair recorded Watson and his wife Rosa Lee’s song ‘Your Long Journey,’ about the approach of death. The album went platinum many times over and offered yet another opportunity to appreciate an artist whose work will, like the songs he interpreted, endure for generations to come.

Katy Winn/Associated Press/File

Shirley Manson of Garbage performs live in Irvine, Calif. Garbage released their first album in seven years, “Not Your Kind of People,” this week.

AP: What is your songwriting process like?

Manson: Any which way, I do write (on my own). I love words. I grew up with a dad who encouraged us to read. So I am pretty well read. But on this record I wanted to just write when I was together with the band, really keep things in the moment, not get too cerebral about anything, just dig in. I think it’s about plugging in sometimes with other human beings, which sometimes can be a challenge, because it’s uncomfortable some of the time, you know. I think in our culture right now, we are all very comfortable keeping everything at arm’s length, being on a computer, and talking to someone on a screen over here. When you are actually in a room with another person, and you are being forced to connect, that can be uncomfortable. I think it’s important.

AP: How do you feel about new recording artists not being nurtured, and their quick rise to fame?

Manson: A couple things that play nowadays which bother me — one is record companies and patience in regards to their artists. With Lana Del Rey, who is a perfect example, she was doing out of the box fantastically well.

She ignited people’s imaginations. The record company put her in a position that they never should have put her in. They put her on “Saturday Night Live.”

Absolute insanity. For a seasoned performer like myself, that would be stressful. To put a young artist out there who is the figure of the moment is putting her under unnecessary pressure, at a time when she is already doing good enough.

AP: What advice would you give a female rock singer trying to make it?

Manson: I would say figure out what it is that you want to say.

When you figure out what it is you want to say, you have to be willing to stand by that. You have to be willing to take a million slaps in the face, and keep standing up.

Beach House has a ‘Bloom’ of fantasy feel

By Sian Watson Associated Press

Beach House, “Bloom” (Sub Pop) “Bloom” is the fourth studio album from Beach House and follows the duo’s successful 2010 album “Teen Dream.”

Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand created “Bloom” on the road during the band’s two-year tour. The first single, “Myth,” is a

beautiful concoction of twinkling synth, with dreamlike, fluid melodies, paired with equally dreamy lyrics: “What comes after this, momentary bliss.” The album then drifts into ‘Wild’, and the dreamscape continues with the addition of a distinct rhythm, echoing a heartbeat. The next song, “Lazuli,” features female breathy vocals with more emotive lyrics.

The band is successful in creating a

fantasy-like atmosphere with the songs, which all have an ethereal feel. But the disc wanes a bit toward the end, and instead of being transfixed in a reverielike state, the listener may find themselves nodding off instead.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Wild” is a prime example of the talent of the band — the layering of drums and the airy vocals and guitar are mesmerizing.

Fairest of them all?

No ma’am

By Christopher Kelly McClatchy Newspapers

Give credit, at least, for a clever concept: ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ filters a classic fairy tale through the prism of a modern, special-effects driven, actionpowered blockbuster, an idea so seemingly inevitable that it’s a surprise no one has quite done it before. (Terry Gilliam’s 2005 film ‘The Brothers Grimm’ presumably was trying for something similar, but who could tell with all that bric-a-brac on the screen?).

The result, not unlike the recent Sherlock Holmes pictures, is an intriguing mash-up of old and new. The director, Rupert Sanders (a TV commercial specialist making his feature debut), gives these familiar characters a swagger and heft — they seem more like comic-book heroes and villains than anyone you’d find in a classical fairy tale. He also borrows liberally from other modern franchises, a little bit of ‘Twilight’

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN HH rating: PG-13 for action violence Running time: 2:07 Starring: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron (pictured above), Chris Hemsworth here, a whole lot of ‘Game of Thrones’ there. If you’re looking to give your teenager a lesson in the basic tenets of postmodernism, you could probably do a lot worse.

What makes ‘Snow White and The Huntsman’ a drag, though, is the same thing that makes so much of Hollywood’s biggestbudgeted output a drag: A barely sensical screenplay that doesn’t so much tell a story as string together noisy action sequences with geektastic backstory.

‘Snow White and the Hunts-

man’ may have started with a fresh idea, but then it got shoehorned into a style-over-substance formula — and now it’s just a chore to sit through.

In this telling, the evil Ravenna (Charlize Theron) weasels her way into the court of the benevolent king (Noah Huntley), whom she promptly marries and then murders, claiming the throne for herself.

Imprisoning the king’s beautiful daughter Snow White (Raffey Cassidy as a kid, Kristen Stewart as an adult), she keeps herself young by stealing the youth and beauty of other women — though why she bothers keeping Snow White around in the first place, even though her trusty mirror has already established the girl as a threat, is just one of the questions that screenwriters Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock and Hossein Amini never satisfactorily answer.

When Snow White escapes into the forest, Ravenna dispatch-

es a roguish widower referred to as The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, of ‘Thor’ fame) to chase after her — yet another plot point that the movie hasn’t worked out.

You see, the Evil Queen also has all sorts of powers, including the ability to transmogrify herself into other people, and she even has a magical army. So why, exactly, does she need a mortal to chase after another mortal? In order to engage us, fantasy requires strict rules, but this ‘Snow White’ just keeps making it up as it goes along.

For the most part, though, the filmmakers remain slavishly honor-bound to an overplayed rulebook. In the spirit of ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Twilight,’ ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ also provides a second potential suitor for its heroine — her childhood friend Will (Sam Claflin, ‘The Pillars of the Earth’), now a hunky grown-up leading the rebel forces against the Queen’s tyrannical rule.

In terms of personality, the two men are indistinguishable — the only way to tell them apart is that Hemsworth sports facial hair, and the other guy looks as if he’d rather be singing in a boy band.

As for the lead actresses, it would be nice to report that Stewart and Theron lend the summer movie season something it hasn’t had in years — a blast of girl power. Yet much like in the ‘Twilight’ movies, Stewart comes off as petulant and visibly uncomfortable with her own movie stardom.

Luckily Theron has a much grander time, screaming and writhing on the floor and employing her best Joan Crawford-in-’Mommie Dearest’ death stare. But the actress drops out of the proceedings for long, long stretches, and the movie flatlines in her absence.

Talk about a depressing irony: Even when women are at the center of the story, modern Hollywood blockbuster-making still manages to give them nothing to do.

June 1-7, 2012 NEW ON DVD

‘Maverick’ is out ... 55 years later

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

A classic Western series came to DVD on Tuesday, and I couldn’t be happier.

“Maverick: The Complete First Season” (Warner, 27 episodes, $32.95 standard DVD) presents the TV series that made James Garner a star and set the tone for many later characters he would play — roguish sorts with their own codes, starting with a man Garner has called both an anti-hero and a reluctant hero.

That would be Bret Maverick, a gambler who, though handy with a gun and his fists, preferred to outsmart his opponents either with a deck of cards or an elaborate scheme.

Although the series began simply with Garner as Bret, heavy production demands led to the addition of Bret’s brother Bart, played by Jack Kelly, who first appeared in the eighth episode of the premiere season. Kelly then starred in some episodes apart from Bret’s, so two crews could work at once, while other episodes found the brothers teamed.

As a young viewer of “Maverick,” which premiered in 1957, I always preferred the Bret episodes.

People involved with the show have noted that the Bret episodes were often more comedic than Bart’s, mainly because Garner was more adept with light material than Kelly. Garner left the series a few years later, and it tried to keep going with still more Maverick kin, but it was never the same without him.

And from the beginning of the series, you can see how Garner made Bret a charmer with a sense of humor. The show also set

The complete first season of ‘Maverick’ was released Tuesday on DVD . him up with engaging rivals such as Samantha Crawford (played by Diane Brewster) and Dandy Jim Buckley (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.). This was one of those DVD sets that I started watching and found very difficult to quit.

Viewers more familiar with current TV should note that these episodes are in black-and-white, and that there are signs of wear and age on some episodes.

(These early episodes also include an instrumental version of the theme song, not the memorable, later vocal rendition.) Moreover, TV storytelling had a different pace in the ‘50s, not least because there was more time to tell a story.

These episodes last about 50 minutes, eight minutes longer than many TV dramas these days. Movie buffs, meanwhile, should be aware that the first three episodes were directed by Budd Boetticher, acclaimed for his work on a series of Randolph Scott movie

Westerns. (Check out the five-movie DVD collection “The Films of Budd Boetticher.”)

There are no on-disc extras in the “Maverick” set. The set does include brief printed descriptions of each episode. And I love the show as much as I did when a kid.

Also on video last Tuesday: “We Need to Talk About Kevin” (Oscilloscope, $29.99 DVD, $34.99 Bluray/DVD combo), an impressive movie but one that is so disturbing, I won’t be watching it again anytime soon. Based on a novel

by Lionel Shriver, it involves a mother, Eva (Tilda Swinton), who is confronted more and more by the malevolence of her son (played as a teen by Ezra Miller). That evil has led to a horrible event, and the movie shifts back and forth in time to portray the Eva/ Kevin relationship. Eva is hardly an ideal parent, but

the terror in the movie is that, even if she were more loving, Kevin may just have been a menace from birth.

Second-rate money ‘American Idol’ moves toward lower payouts for runners-up

By Anthony Mccartney Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Coming in second on “American Idol” may still be a path to superstardom, but it no longer offers guaranteed paychecks worthy of the next pop idol or rock star.

Last Wednesday night’s runner-up, 16-year-old Jessica Sanchez, doesn’t have a definite shot at producing an album and could be paid as little as $30,000 in advances for recording singles, according to the “Idol” contract she and other Season 11 contestants signed earlier this year.

The agreement appears to be the first time in “Idol’s” history that producers are not offering the show’s runner-up an album deal that in previous years came with a guaranteed advance of at least $175,000, an Associated Press review of the Fox show’s contracts reveals.

The analysis covers eight of “Idol’s” 11 seasons during which contracts filed for contestants under the age of 18 were available.

The contracts were reviewed by judges in accordance with a California law that requires at least 15 percent of a minor entertainer’s earnings be set aside for their benefit once they reach adulthood.

The reduced royalty advance covers the period immediately following the show. In addition to recording new music, the series’ winners and finalists are obligated to perform in a concert tour and lend their likeness to a Walt Disney World Resort attraction in Florida.

If Sanchez is given an album deal following the show, she will receive the same $175,000 bonus that Lauren Alaina was paid after placing second in the show’s 10th season. But 19 Recordings Inc., which has the option to handle the albums and recordings of Idol contestants for several years after they appear on the show, has replaced a guaranteed album

frankly, if this is the direction they head with the winners,” Dawson said.

Buyers purchased nearly 1.3 billion single songs last year as opposed to 331 million albums, said Dave Bakula, Nielsen’s senior vice president of analytics for SoundScan. He noted that there have been some successful “Idol” runners-up, but producers appear to be giving themselves more flexibility with how they develop artists in different genres.

“Idol” winner Phillip Phillips will receive the same $300,000 advance given to last year’s winner, Scotty McCreery, upon completion of his first album, according to the contracts.

Finalists who placed third and lower could receive deals to record singles, EPs or full albums, with the lowest advance amounting to $24,000 if they complete their commitment to record up to four single songs.

Higher advances are paid if 19 Recordings agrees to produce more albums, with Phillips eligible to receive up to $800,000 for a six-album deal.

The advances are paid and later deducted from the singer’s song royalties.

“As the music industry is changing, it makes sense for ‘Idol’ John Shearer/Associated Press/File to change as well,” Dawson said.

And now, for a little summer music, please ...

To welcome the year’s warmest season, come to hear a blend of cool tones that suggest relaxation and a carefree state of mind by the Afternoon Chamber Quintet on Sunday, June 10 at 3 p.m. at Jacksonville State University’s Performance Center in Mason Hall. Chamber music is “friendly music” as the definition states, music made by friends for Hervey friends and family.

Folsom Artists in Action This concert is not only that, it suggests adventure and travel for the mind to different countries and cultures. The composers represent Russia, Austria, Germany, France and Argentina in different time periods from 18th century living through the 1900s.

“The performance will be presented by community musicians, several of whom obtained music degrees from JSU,” said Dr. Wendy Faughn, associate professor of music at JSU. “These are good musicians giving the community an afternoon of lovely, classical literature.”

Ryan Sherrod /Submitted Photo

Afternoon Chamber Quintet is set to perform next Sunday at Jacksonville State.

The program is not a recital for a music degree for the individuals, explained Susan Di Biase, cellist in this group and one of the founding members of the JSU University/ Community Orchestra. “Instead, we are friends who enjoy the challenge of learning and sharing new music.”

Chamber music was written to be played in chambers or living rooms in history. Before that, it was heard in palaces where royalty employed musicians for festivities. But whether the venue was a princely court then, or in today’s church sanctuary or university concert hall, listeners find the intimate setting satisfying.

“It’s a tradition worth keeping alive,” said Di Biase.

According to audience response in the past, this form is popular with people, according to Di Biase, “but there are not many opportunities to hear it played locally. We want everyone to be exposed to chamber music.”

The program includes Quartet for Flute and Strings, K.298 by Mozart, played by flutist Patrick Clines.

“Everyone loves Mozart,” Clines is fond of saying. “But I chose the piece because it brings out the best qualities of the instru-

ment.” This asset is a characteristic of chamber music, Di Biase pointed out. The spotlight is on each instrument on stage, depending on the piece. In other pieces, the quintet plays as an ensemble.

Other selections on the program are Waltz No. 2 from Suite for Variety Orchestra by Dmitri Shostakovich, an important figure in Soviet music who was probably one of the most well-known composers of the 20th century, music instructors say.

Bela Bartok, a modern Hungarian nationalist, folklorist, composer and pianist, wrote folk songs and dances in a direct and down-to-earth style. The two violinists, Carmine Di Biase, Susan’s husband, and Rachel Sherrod, will present these in duets. “The harmonies are especially exciting in these,” Susan commented.

Fantasy Pieces op.73 for Cello and Piano was written by Robert Schumman, an important German early Romanticist of piano music. He became known during his short lifetime (1810-1856) for his blended chords and poetic thought — and for making music immediately appealing, according to texts. Susan and Anna Kennedy will bring his melodies to the audience.

Cecile Chaminade’s Serenade of the

Stars, op.142 for Flute and Piano, is next on the program by musicians Clines and Kennedy. Chaminade, who lived in France, was one of the few women composers of her time (1857-1944). She wrote songs focusing on particular moods or moments for events, whether social or political. Erik Satie of France wrote reflective avantgarde, sometimes humorous works. His Gnossienne No.1 was especially arranged for the quintet. “Many people have heard this as a dreamy piano piece. They will be pleasantly surprised with our interpretation,” Susan said.

In recent concerts by ensembles, Astor Piazzolla’s tango music has been an audience favorite, Susan said. For this concert, Libertango is the selection by the Argentine composer and bandoneon player, incorporating elements of jazz and classical music. A bandoneon is a small accordion especially popular in Latin America.

The pieces are all engaging on their first hearing, according to Susan, but some are more familiar than others. “The Bartok duets will probably be new to almost everyone, for example, but they have roots in European folk music,” she said. “They sound pleasantly at home in Alabama.”

Military video games have never been known for their subtlety, but over the last few years they’ve become increasingly bombastic, culminating in the flamboyant pyrotechnics of the mega-selling “Call of Duty” franchise.

So I was a little surprised the first time one of my squad mates in “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier” (Ubisoft, $59.99, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3; for PC, $49.99) gave me some solid advice — by whispering.

This isn’t the sort of game where you can rush headlong at enemies, spewing bullets by the hundreds.

More often, you and the other three guys on your team are seriously outnumbered, so you need to approach quietly and take down targets one at a time until you’ve evened the odds.

That more tactical approach may frustrate trigger-happy gamers, but it’s more rewarding for those of us who want a little bit of a strategic challenge along with all the flashy explosions.

And “Future Soldier” is still pretty violent — you’re not sneaking up on the enemies so you can give them hugs.

The plot is the sort of by-the-num-

bers nonsense that will feel all too familiar to anyone who’s played a recent war game. About 10 years into the future, you’re part of an elite commando team on the trail of weapons merchants.

As you dig deeper into the enterprise, you uncover a global conspiracy ... and, eventually, only you can prevent Armageddon. It’s a tired premise, but it’s the thread that connects a dozen cleverly designed set pieces, bouncing from Bolivia to Zambia to Pakistan to Russia.

At their most appealing, the levels in “Future Soldier” feel more like puzzles than battlefields. You and your fellow Ghosts are equipped with high-tech camouflage that makes you virtually invisible, as long as you don’t move too quickly or fire your weapons. You also have drones and “sensor grenades” that see all your foes before you get too close.

In a typical scenario, you might have to isolate four enemies, tag them and then take all four down at the same time — without drawing the attention of any other troops in the area. These stealth-based levels create a nerve-racking sense of tension, and they’re far more satisfying than

the game’s somewhat predictable firefights.

Unfortunately, whether you’re camouflaged or not, at some point the enemies are going to spot you. And then all hell breaks loose. Some of the battles are fresher than others — it’s a hoot steering the Warhound, sort of a scaled-down version of one of Darth Vader’s Imperial Walkers from “The Empire Strikes Back” — but they aren’t as interesting as the tactical challenges for which the “Ghost Recon” series is known.

“Future Soldier” includes a beefy assortment of multiplayer modes. You can play each of the main campaign’s missions with up to three friends. You can cooperate in “Guerrilla” mode, in which your team has to defend its territory from 50 waves of enemies. Or you can dig into four different kinds of team-based competition.

It’s disappointing that “Future Soldier” isn’t a little more, well, futuristic, and its overheated plot will try your patience. But in its quieter moments, as you’re trying to creep into the next enemy base, this techno-thriller truly distinguishes itself from its competition in the crowded war-game market.

Three stars out of four.

Facebook launches iPhone camera app

By Barbara Ortutay Associated Press

NEW YORK — Facebook’s rocky initial public offering hasn’t stopped life at the world’s biggest online social network. On Thursday, the company unveiled a camera app for the iPhone.

The app can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store and works like most other camera applications for smart phones. To take a photo, you tap a camera icon in the upper left corner of your screen, aim and shoot. You can then add filters, crop or tilt your photo, and share it on Facebook.

The new app is similar to Instagram, the photo-sharing app Facebook is in the process of buying for $1 billion. The acquisition, however, has not yet been completed, and Instagram’s employees did not work on the photo app. Facebook has said it expects the Instagram acquisition to close sometime this year.

‘American Colony’ is not typical reality television

By Lynn Elber Associated Press

Bertha Hofer deserves to be one of the summer’s biggest, if unlikeliest, TV stars.

In the narrowest sense, she’s yet another working mom opening up her life to the camera. But Hofer is part of an unusual and intriguing world, a small Montana religious commune depicted in National Geographic Channel’s “American Colony: Meet the Hutterites.”

Hofer, 52, a widowed mother of three balancing her religion’s strict tenets with her children’s hopes for the future, is a focus of the series. Her unvarnished and soulful face, the kind that cannot hide its heart, recalls the careworn migrant mother in Dorothea Lange’s classic 1930s Depression-era portrait.

“Atlanta ‘Housewives’ they’re not,” David Lyle, the channel’s CEO, said of Hofer and the other Hutterites depicted in the 10-part series airing 9 p.m.

Tuesdays. “When you look at Bertha ... she’s struggling to be one of the best parents I’ve seen on TV.” A documentary with a restrained reality series flavor, “American Colony” follows the daily life of the rural community that is both part of and carefully separated from typical mod-

ern life.

The King colony is one of the German-speaking Hutterite communes scattered across the U.S. and, in the greatest numbers, in Canada. They are Protestants who are similar to the Amish and Mennonites and live a life centered on their religion. But Hutterites are communal and have no personal property, based in part on a Bible passage that reads, “All the believers were together and had everything in common.”

They make use of technology, and the word “stuffy” doesn’t come to mind when watching the series. Alcoholic beverages are a part of colony life and so is a fair amount of cursing, which stands in sharp contrast to the Hutterites’ strict faith and modest dress, including a requirement that women keep their hair covered.

Collins said that he and the channel’s Lyle agreed the series would avoid such reality TV production ploys as “feeding” lines to participants to heighten the drama.

“David and I said, ‘Let’s not ruin anyone’s life here. They’re interesting enough,” the producer said. He recalled filming as an ongoing “negotiation,” with colony members querying the film crew on how and what they were filming, with the commune’s church was completely off limits.

A dozen chefs compete for glory and $100,000 for their charity, with judging by experts and celebrities including Sugar Ray Leonard and Dita Von Teese.

“Shelter Me,” a PBS documentary, is narrated by actress Katherine Heigl and is sponsored by the pet food company co-owned by Ellen DeGeneres.

It follows an animal control officer, adoption workers, female inmates who train rescue dogs, and vets who acquire former shelter dogs. “’Shelter Me’ is about the lives that are changed when shelter pets are given a second chance,” Heigl said.

HBO will premiere a documentary called “One Nation Under Dog: Stories of Fear, Loss & Betrayal” on June 18 at 9 p.m.

The film looks at America’s obsession with dogs, how far individuals will go for their pets and what it will take for people across the country to treat all dogs humanely.

The Disney Channel also has a new dog show in the works for the fall and while it does involve a rescue dog, that’s where reality ends.

The live-action, multi-camera series called “Dog With A Blog” and revolves around a dog named Stan (who is really a 4-year-old named Kuma).

Pop culture Q&A

TV CROSSWORD

Movie found, ‘Harry’s Law’ man identif ied, series gone

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Question: On the May 6 episode of “Harry’s Law,” one of the people they were defending was a very nice-looking, tall, “English” man.

He looked so familiar, but I couldn’t place him. Who was he and what have I seen him on?

Answer: That was actor Steve Valentine. You may remember him as Dr. Nigel Townsend on “Crossing Jordan,” the 2001-07 NBC drama starring Jill Hennessy. His extensive credits also include acting the series “I’m in the Band” and hosting the reality show “Estate of Panic.” Born in Scotland, he has also worked as a DJ, standup comic and magician.

Q: My favorite shows are “Ringer” on the CW and “Missing” on ABC. I heard that both shows were canceled. If so, why? And is possible they could be going to another network?

A: Both shows were indeed left out of their respective networks’ plans for next season. “Ringer” looked like a good bet before the season began, with much-liked star Sarah Michelle Gellar playing two roles in the thriller.

But it was a bad show, at least at first, and lost some of the people drawn to it. As the Huffington Post reported, the series “premiered last September to mediocre ratings at 2.8 million, but slipped down to 1.2 million by the season finale.” The president of the CW did tell the Hollywood Reporter that the network plans to do something else with Gellar: “She will be back on the CW in some form.”

As for “Missing,” the drama starring Ashley Judd as a butt-kicking former spy searching for her abducted son, a writer for TV.com snarked that its demise proved “America is not really interested in 40-year-old female action heroes who spend all their time running after planes and falling to their knees to cry.” Which doesn’t seem fair, since I think that at least once she ran after a train before she cried. But, as EW.com pointed out — accompanied, by the way, by a photo

Matt Sayles/Associated Press

ABC’s ‘Missing,’ which stars Ashley Judd, was canceled due to low interest from audiences. Critics claim the series ‘never really found an audience.’

Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag? Write to the Akron Beacon Journal, 44 E. Exchange St., Akron, OH, 44309 or rheldenfels@thebeaconjournal.com.

Please mark the email or envelope with “mailbag.” Letters may be edited for publication. Please do not phone in questions. Individual replies cannot be guaranteed. of Judd crying — the series “never really found an audience.”

Q: I am a big “Herbie” fan. Can you please tell me if there will be any more “Herbie” movies?

A: I am guessing that you are referring to “Herbie the Love Bug,” the Volkswagen that starred in an array of movie and TV ventures. I do not know of plans for a new production but would not rule one out considering how long the screen history is and how much Disney likes to revisit projects. This project began with “The Love Bug” with Dean Jones in 1969, then stretched through “Herbie Rides Again” (1974), “Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo” (1977), “Herbie Goes Bananas”

(1980), a short-lived “Herbie the Love Bug” TV series in 1982, a TV-movie version of “The Love Bug” and, most recently, “Herbie: Fully Loaded” (2005).

Q: What can you tell me about the skeleton called Geoff on the Craig Ferguson show? When did he start? I don’t often stay up that late, but I’ve seen some of a few shows lately and he is hilarious.

A: The robot sidekick — full name, Geoff Peterson — made its debut in 2010. Ferguson, who calls his Twitter followers the Robot Skeleton Army, wanted a robotic sidekick on the show.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Grant Imahara of the Discovery series MythBusters “tweeted to Ferguson that, if the late-night host could get Imahara’s Twitter-follower number to exceed 100,000, he’d build Craig a robot sidekick.”

Ferguson, a Mythbusters fan, made that happen. Then Imahara came up with Geoff, which he described to NPR.org as “a biology-class skeleton on steroids.”

He can speak and move — and may be the only late-night-TV sidekick to get a photo display in the magazine Popular Mechanics.
