“Life’s A Real Dream” in Hurleyville

Lard Dog & The Band of Shy burst onto the New York entertainment scene in 2015 with an off-Broadway theatre run called, Life’s A Real Dream. With their quirky lyrics and infectious tunes, the band has drawn comparisons to Devo, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Pee Wee Herman, and the B52’s. Lard Dog has long-standing roots in New York, performing everywhere from CBGB’s Gallery to Joe’s Pub and Symphony Space. In 2017, the band landed the #1 chart-topping song on Sirius XM Kids Place Live “13 under 13 Countdown” with the single, I Like. Life’s A Real Dream is an all-ages musical extravaganza that promotes positive messages of creativity, acceptance, and frivolity, with massive amounts of absurdism thrown in. Lard Dog and his 6-piece Band of Shy invite you to their unique audio-visual universe, complete with catchy songs, multi-media graphics, and interactive props, including a pretzel toss! Three Frequently Asked Questions: 1.) Who is Lard Dog? He’s the alter ego (who hails from Planet Belopio) of multi-media artist Steven Erdman (who hails from New York City and upstate New York). Erdman’s work spans cartooning, animation, songwriting and live performance - complete with his whimsical, frivolous, and comedic sensibilities. 2.) What does “LARD” stand for? It’s an acronym for Life’s A Real Dream. 3.) What does “DOG” have to do with it? Absolutely nothing.

Chaotic Hillbillies Jam in Phillipsport The question that the Crusty Gentlemen hear most often is: ‘Why do you call yourselves the Crusty Gentlemen?’ Band member Bob Holmes answers. “For our first gig we were going to call ourselves the Crunchy Gentlemen, a take-off on one of our favorite bands, the Country Gentlemen, but the club owner misheard the name and billed us as the Crusty Gentlemen instead - and it stuck.” Born under the Brooklyn Bridge in 2010, the Crusty Gentlemen were sired by bluegrass legends as diverse as Jimmy Martin, Jerry Garcia, and Axl Rose. Led by vocalist and guitarist Doug Allen, the band also includes

Bethel Woods Cabaret: “Old Friends” Scott Samuelson and Jeanne MacDonald have been old friends and performing together for the last 25 years. They began singing together when Jeanne joined the staff of singers in the cabaret room at the Bradstan Country Hotel in White Lake that Scott owns and operates with Edward Dudek. Scott began his professional career after studying for two years at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC. He worked for several years in musical theater performing in stock, regional and dinner theater. In 1984 he began working as a singing bartender and discovered the world of cabaret and fell in love with the intimate style. Scott and Ed opened the cabaret room at Bradstan Country Hotel in 1991 and he has been producing and singing in cabaret on all levels ever since. Jeanne MacDonald has been singing just about her entire life. She studied music and voice in college and taught music to elementary and middle school students in Slate Hill full time until 2015. Upon joining the cast of singers at the Bradstan, Jeanne has

enjoyed an outstanding career in cabaret in NYC and regionally. Her acceptance into the NY cabaret scene was immediately evident as she began receiving glowing notices in all the major publications for her heartfelt and pitch perfect interpretations of songs from the theater, the American Songbook and current popular hits. She was the recipient of several awards including the Backstage Bistro Award, two Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs MAC Awards for Outstanding Female Vocalist and the coveted Manhattan Nightlife Award. Scott and Jeanne love singing together and are thrilled to be returning to the stage at Bethel Woods after a sold out performance in 2015.

Shakespeare’s Star-Crossed Lovers: No Dialogue Needed In 1935, Prokofiev, a great lover of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, crafted “an incredibly vibrant and profoundly emotional ballet score, true to the richness of Shakespeare’s original with all its youthful exuberance and passion,” explains Maestro Ron De Fesi. De Fesi’s Hudson Opera Theatre is also known for its non-operatic ventures into great orchestral and choral music, such as (recently) the Verdi Requiem, Beethoven’s Mass in C, Bach’s Brandenberg Concerto # 5 and Magnificat. And now he will be bringing his Hudson Opera Theatre Orchestra, which boasts many of the Hudson Valley’s finest instrumentalists, back to Monroe to perform Prokofiev’s ballet score. “The score is little short of miraculous. With impressive economy of means, without ever resorting to inflated emotionalism, Prokofiev conjures in sound every circumstance, character, and mood. The musical pictorialism is endlessly intriguing, the musical footprints clearly recognizable.” - L.A.Philharmonic. In addition to a somewhat standard instrumentation, the ballet also requires the use of the tenor saxophone. This voice adds a unique sound to the orchestra as it is used both in solo and as part of the ensemble.

Prokofiev also used the cornet, viola d’amore and mandolins in the ballet, adding an Italianate flavor to the music. “No one in the orchestra has an easy time of it. Every stop is pulled out,” De Fesi says. “Both the play and ballet are brilliant, but they are individual to themselves,” De Fesi continued. “There are elements in the music that intensify the play. Yes, we just see different elements of the same story; while some elements may overlap, they are unique to the two different ways of presenting the story.

Donna Kushner first chair 2nd-violin

Nancy Wegrzyn first chair viola

“Prokofiev does an incredible job of eliciting the intensity and emotions in the story and the passion of all the players. The musical scene of Tybolt’s death has more power, I think, in the musical version, than in the spoken word. “For one thing, Lady Capulet is not just an antagonist in the music scene, but is as passionate as the young people are. Tybolt’s death in the play does not have the power that Prokofiev’s music has. “You don’t need the words. The music just elicits the pathos of each moment.

Steve McIntyre first chair cello

Rich Simons first chair bass

The balcony scene is another smasher, and so is Mercutio’s music - his kind of frivolity bordering on madness. “Prokofiev started with Shakespeare, but where he went with it has so much more depth to what he did; you don’t need the words anymore, they become redundant and that is not to take anything away from Shakespeare.” Prokofiev did arrange music from the ballet in three suites for orchestra, but De Fesi and the 45 piece Hudson Opera Theatre Orchestra will perform the ballet in its entirety at the First Presbyterian Church of Monroe, 142 Stage Road, Monroe, on September 16 at 7:00pm, and September 17 at 4:00pm.

Orange County Arts Council’s Fundraiser: Opera, Broadway, Dinner, & Popcorn!

In musical theatre, dialogue tells the story with the occasional burst of song, while opera productions (mostly) only use music to tell the story. In From La Scala to Broadway, a musical concert where “Opera Top 40 meets Musical Theatre”, Susan Herrmann, Soprano these lines are unexpectedly and beautifully blurred. The Orange County Arts Council (OCAC), in collaboration with OCAC board members Dr. Margaret Coughlin, Opera Gala Event Chair, and Susan Herrmann, Event Cochair and performing artist, are presenting a performance art fundraiser performed by a select ensemble of NYC opera singers, without your having to journey into the city. This unique blend of musical genres includes a combination of familiar operatic arias and Broadway hits to appeal to a vast audience. When referring to the La Scala to Broadway production, Dr. Coughlin explains, “I also call this ‘opera toe-tappers’, songs heard commonly even by non-opera goers. These are very beautiful arias or energetic pieces that might be recognized from popular culture.” “Guests can look forward to hearing Nessun Dorma, one of the most popular and beloved arias of all time often performed by the renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti,” states Herrmann.

Sullivan County Chamber Orchestra: “Dances & Serenades” Serenading The Final Weeks of Summer by Philip Ehrensaft Very few of America’s rural/small town counties have the good fortune to host a classical chamber orchestra. Sullivan County is one of those fortunate few. Thanks to the efforts of a young native son, the rising star bassist Andrew Trombley, and Monticello’s exceptional support of music education, the Sullivan County Chamber Orchestra is entering its second season which also includes chamber music concerts with orchestra members. Season Two’s orchestral entry point, following an August chamber music concert, is a concert of four celebratory serenades and dances, some of the most elegant and sheerly delightful pieces in the orchestral repertoire: Mozart’s Serenade in G (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik), Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings, Brahms’ Hungarian Dances (Nos. 5 & 6), and Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings. The concert is entitled Dances and Serenades, but “serenades and dances” is a more accurate description. Three of the four pieces are serenades. In Early Modern Europe, the serenade evolved from the iconic troubadour or lover singing to his beloved in a balcony above to an evening’s orchestral celebratory salute

to a court’s nobility. The salute typically commenced at 9:00pm, and was expected to be a charming cap to a musical evening. The orchestras of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were typically comprised of a dozen or so musicians. By the time Mozart premiered his “small evening music” in 1787, classical orchestras averaged 40 musicians. The Dvořák, Brahms and Tchaikovsky pieces premiered in the full bloom of nineteenth century romanticism, when orchestras were evolving into powerhouse ensembles of one hundred musicians. Then, in the early twentieth century, some major composers, Stravinsky among them, decided that there had been an aesthetic price to the huge orchestral force which admittedly has musical power like nothing under this sun. Smaller orchestras could be more nimble, intimate and directly communicative with audiences. This runs parallel to choosing hifi speakers: the bigger tower speakers take

you closer to the full sonorities of the concert hall, but smaller speakers mounted on proper stands are nimbler in reproducing the way sound moves during a concert. In music as in ecosystems, there is no free lunch. The bottom line: the size of today’s chamber orchestras is sometimes inspired by aesthetics, sometimes by budget constraints, or a combination of both. Except in the case of Early Music ensembles performing music composed before the era of Haydn and Mozart; then, the objective is orchestral size and instruments as close as we understand to be those of those earlier times. The non-serenade piece in the September concerts, Brahms’ Hungarian Dances, began its career as a piano duo and then evolved into an all-time orchestral favorite. Many classical music forms began as dance music in royal courts. Not this one. Brahms listened avidly to Hungarian folk dance music and created this gift for posterity. The concert will have two performances: September 9, at 7:00pm in the Eugene D. Nesin Theatre, 22 St. John Street, Monticello, and September 10, at 3:00pm in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Route 17B & Mattison Road, White Lake. For information on a Season Pass or a Three Concert Bundle: www.nesinculturalarts.org or 845-798-9006. Individual tickets can be purchased at the door. Students are free.

Two for the Show “Art, for me, is an intuitive process,” says Melinda Wallach of her mixed media paintings. “I begin by feeling inside for an impulse of what wants to come out, often starting with a color. I love blending many media together, pencil, paper, found objects, acrylic paint, pastel crayon, and fiber. This series of paintings explores abstraction through the juxtaposition of organic and inorganic elements.” “I have a fascination with the front, back, and middle of the picture plane and how that shallow physical presence can accommodate great depth when viewed,” says Rodney White. “I seek to maintain integrity of line, color, and shape while searching for that sweet spot when the whole becomes greater than its parts.” Elements of Matter, an exhibit of mixed media paintings by Monticello-based artist Melinda Wallach, and The Color in Everything, an installation that embodies ideas of landscape, still life, and portrait by Callicoon/NYC artist Rodney White, open with a reception on September 1 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance’s Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg. Both exhibits will be on view through September 30. Visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org or call 845252-7576 for further information. See page 16 for photos of the artworks.

Eric Himy “In Recital” in Glen Spey

Eric Himy is one of those pianists whose performances are rare gems. He has been hailed as a throwback to another era, a colorist with a technique that transcends normal barriers in the pursuit of the rare magical combination of music with meaning, yet alive with visceral energy and passion and he excels in exploiting the resources of the instrument to create something totally new and out of the ordinary going beyond the score. His playing has been described by the New York Times as “flawlessly poised, elegant and

brilliant.” The Revue Musicale De Suisse Romande wrote: “There is some Horowitz in those steel wrists and those rubber fingers.” Himy will perform music by Gershwin, Debussy, Ravel, Chopin and Schubert for the Town of Lumberland Cultural Series, Frank V. Schwarz, Executive Director, on September 17 at 3:00pm at the Lumberland Town Hall, 1054 Proctor Road, Glen Spey. A Meet the Artist Reception follows the concert. Tickets at the door. Call 845-856-6372 for more information.

“Animal Farm” in Port Jervis by Linda Fields Lord Acton (1834-1902) is usually credited with the oft-quoted “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”, but the notion was voiced earlier than the 19th century and still is relevant today. After George Orwell wrote about the corrupting influence of power in Animal Farm, that book frequently appeared on the list of books banned by libraries or schools in the U.S. If you are unfamiliar with this classic allegory, or want to experience it in a new way, Animal Farm will be performed by the non-profit American Readers Theatre (ART) at Marsh Hall in Port Jervis. ART’s mission is to promote literacy through drama,

music, dance, film and the visual arts. Explained director Jeffrey Stocker (see photo), “This is my fourth time doing Animal Farm as ‘a play for voices’, in the style of traditional readers theater.” He added, “What is different in this performance is that a 6th grader will be reading the narration (the book having been assigned to her at school), and all of the animals will come alive before her eyes.” Come hear this classic tale of what was written to be a message against totalitarianism: a message that transcends time. Animal Farm will be performed September 8-10 at Marsh Hall in the First Presbyterian Church, 60 Sussex Street, Port Jervis. Tickets at the door. http://americanreaderstheatre.net/

Doo-Woppin’ in Parksville! For the next concert in the Parksville USA 2017 Music Festival, the Brooklyn Time Machine, a band made up of baby boomers recreating the music of the 1950s and 1960s, will perform music from the Coney Island, T-Bird, egg creams, beehive and ducktail days: Doo Wop! Drummer Paul started as a doowop vocalist in the early days, spending some time in a group with Bryan Hyland. Paul later took up drums as the doowop groups began to fade. Jimmy (on sax) adds a whole new dimension to the sound. He has been playing for many years, having been a member of Hot Wax and the Satin Dukes. When not blowing into his sax, Jimmy jumps in on vocals. Dennis (guitar, keys and vocals) spent

many years in an oldies band. He played his first gig in ‘63 with The 3 Ds. Dennis also played several times at Beatlefest. Lead vocalist Mary (and assorted percussionist) is the key to the band’s sound. She has done studio work, voice overs, and some commercials and jingles, too. Mary enjoys covering some of her favorite girl groups of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Wayne, the most recent addition to the group, has played guitar, bass, and ukulele for over 50 years! The Brooklyn Time Machine perform at the Dead End Café, 6 Main Street, Parksville, on September 10 at 3:00pm. Tickets include a full delicious dinner buffet after the show! For reservations, call 845-292-0400.

Musical Séance in Highland Lake Animal Wisdom, created by Obie Award-winning composer and performer Heather Christian and her genre-defying group The Arbornauts, blurs genres but is grounded in blues and Methodist hymns. It is an idiosyncratic concert /cabaret about talking to the dead, inspired by real conversations between Heather and her deceased relatives. Conjuring a constellation of dead souls, from Doris, her flamboyant and cruel childhood piano teacher (10 years dead), to her elusive ex-CIA code-breaker godfather Myles (5 years dead),it is like an improvised musical séance; the tone shifts slowly from playful to dangerous, circling around darker, more disturbed forces in her family and herself, culminating in a 28 minute Requiem Mass sung in darkness by a choir. Animal Wisdom is performed with

an understanding that, whilst its audiences may or may not believe in the afterlife, music might help forge a connection with those they too have loved and lost in this very room with her. “Christian howls like a werewolf with a voice made of molasses.” Variety Magazine NACL Theatre is pleased to announce the inaugural North Starr Residency, a new partnership with The Bushwick Starr, which offers their audiences a first look at new works in development slated for full production at their Bushwick, Brooklyn venue. Animal Wisdom takes the stage on September 9 at 7:30pm at NACL Theatre, 110 Highland Lake Road, Highland Lake. For tickets: visit www.nacl.org/box-office or phone 845-557-0694.

Wellness Modalities - Energy Medicine “In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.” - Albert Szent-Györgyi, MD, Nobel Laureate in Medicine. Energy Medicine utilizes techniques from time-honored traditions such as acupuncture, yoga, kinesiology, and qi gong. Flow, balance, and harmony can be non-invasively restored and maintained within an energy system by tapping, massaging, pinching, twisting, or connecting specific energy points (acupoints) on the skin; by tracing or swirling the hand over the skin along specific energy pathways; through exercises or postures designed for specific energetic effects; by focused use of the mind to move specific energies; and/or by surrounding an area with healing energies. For nearly four decades, Donna Eden has been teaching people how to work with the body’s energy systems to reclaim their health and natural vitality. She has taught more than 100,000 people worldwide, both lay people and professionals, how to understand the body as an energy system. Donna’s classic book, Energy Medicine, is the textbook in hundreds of healing classes. Available in 18 languages, it won golds in both the U.S. Book News and Nautilus competitions. Her most recent book, The Energies of Love, achieved best-seller status on the New York Times Relationship List. From her clairvoyant-

like ability to see the body’s energies, she has developed a system for teaching others, who do not have this gift, to nonetheless work effectively with their own energies. “Energy medicine is something I incorporate into every session,” explains Innervision Wellness in Rock Tavern practitioner Debra Sheafe (see photo). “Whether it is a weaving of the figure eight over the body or at the feet or the crown. The client can always feel the swirling and the balancing effect, whether it is a tapping - what is known as the three thumps - stimulating the thymus, the adrenals or releasing the grief points, or stimulating the crown chakra and releasing tension in the scalp with the crown pull. “All techniques are very subtle but powerful. It truly is one of my favorite self-care routines to do for myself every day and one of my favorite things to teach to others.” See Innervision Wellness ad, page 30.

Kariné Poghosyan: Free Pre-Carnegie Hall Concert in Montgomery! by Philip Ehrensaft Some people run early and run both fast and beautifully. The exceptionally accomplished young pianist Kariné Poghosyan is just such a person. Poghosyan made her professional debut in her native Armenia when she was fourteen, moved to the USA to do her B.A. in California, went on to do her doctorate at the eminent Manhattan School of Music, and then joined the MSM’s faculty. And, by the way, Poghosyan completed her doctorate in only two years, a feat last accomplished at that rigorous conservatory twenty years previously. And that was accomplished while she traversed the demanding first career steps of a concert pianist. Those first career steps included performances at Carnegie Hall and Merkin Hall. Poghosyan has become a pride and joy for Armenian-American communities. Hers is a classic immigrant success story: arrive, work very hard and very smart, and work your way up. New York City and London are the two global classical music capitals that attract top talent from all over the world. These musicians become New Yorkers or Londoners, but globalization also means that they maintain active performance ties with their countries of origin. So Poghosyan is also a pride and

joy in Armenia, the promising youngster who went to America and became a Manhattan School professor and Carnegie Hall performer in record time. by Derek Leet If you’ve never heard Beethoven’s Symphony # 5 in c minor, Op. 67 played on the piano, you are in for a treat, thanks to Franz Liszt who arranged it for solo piano! It is on the Grand Montgomery Chamber Music Series (GMCM) program season opener, performed by Kariné Poghosyan along with Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Paganini in A Minor, Op. 35, Book I, Khachaturian’s Adagio from Spartacus (arr. Matthew Cameron), and Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite (arr. Guido Agosti), the same program she will perform at Carnegie Hall on October 19! After stunning a Hudson Valley audience with her outstanding talent playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concert #1 for the Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2011, Howard Garrett had the smarts to hire Kariné for every opening concert of his GMCM Series since 2012.

Adagio is from Khachaturian’s 1954 ballet Spartacus, which follows the trials and tribulations faced by Spartacus as the leader of the slave uprising against the Romans. The Adagio is heard within the second act of the ballet, when the slave women are set free and Spartacus and Phrygia celebrate to this wonderful orchestral piece. Composer/pianist Matthew Cameron arranged it for solo piano. Cameron’s original piano works and transcriptions have attained worldwide popularity, collecting over a million views on the internet. Guido Agosti (1901-1989) studied piano with Ferruccio Busoni. He commenced his professional career as a pianist in 1921. Although he never entirely abandoned concert-giving, nerves made it difficult for him to appear on stage. His transcription of Stravinsky’s Firebird has become a staple in the piano repertoire. Brahms intended his Op. 35 to be more than simply a set of theme and variations; each variation also has the characteristic of a study. He published it as Studies for Pianoforte: Variations on a Theme of Paganini. It is

uncharacteristically showy for Brahms, even Lisztean. It is well known for its emotional depth and technical challenges. David Dubal describes it as “a legend in the piano literature,” and “fiendish,” “one of the most subtly difficult works in the literature.” Clara Schumann called it Hexenvariationen (Witch’s Variations) because of its difficulty. Dubal quotes critic James Huneker: “Brahms and Paganini! These diabolical variations, the last word in the technical literature of the piano are also vast spiritual problems. To play them requires fingers of steel, a heart of burning lava and the courage of a lion.” If you have not heard Poghosyan perform, introduce yourself to the intensity and precision of her playing when she brings her fiery pianism, her “fingers of steel”, to the Montgomery Senior Center, 36 Bridge Street, on September 24 at 3:00pm. Free admission. Call 845-457-9867.

Paintings & Assemblages in Warwick

Two men share the same name, but express their art with disparate methodology and viewpoints: Sheldon & Ian Cotler, father and son. Sheldon’spaintings evolved from a training grounded in the heyday of abstract “Queen’s Jester” by S. Cotler expressionism to a run of commercial success as a clearly representational artist. More recently he has experimented with colorful and assertive abstractions. Ian’s work has traditionally been based on

minimalist ideas, and the pleasures of using assembled objects that create forms, surfaces and areas of color that relate both to each other, and the large white wall on which they live. Artwork by I. Cotler Like Father Unlike Son, running September 2 - October 1, celebrates the shared design sensibilities of father and son, but the exhibit also illuminates the divide between them. The opening reception is on September 2, from 5:00pm-7:00pm at the Amity Gallery, 110 Newport Bridge Road, Warwick. September 2017

Strulev & Friends at Bethel Woods by Barry Plaxen

Russian-American cellist Borislav Strulev returns to Sullivan County after performing with pianist Irina Nuzova on August 19 in the Concert Pavilion at the Shandelee Music Festival. At that concert, after hearing no more than the first three notes, we in the audience knew we were in for something more than just outstanding. Strulev mixes powerful playing and heartfelt pianissimos in each and every work he performs. Strulev is not your “ordinary” world class cellist; he uses his body in ways most of us have never seen before. His mouth opens as if he is singing, his arms flay as if he is conducting, his legs move with reflex actions, and after ending each piece, Strulev IMMEDIATELY stands and stares at the audience as if to say “Did you like that?” or “Wasn’t that just wonderful?” Strulev is not solely a great cellist who entertains, but conversely, he can also be considered a great entertainer who plays the cello. For the second half of his August concert, we were given something we did not bargain for. Perhaps the second half could have been called “An Evening of Cello Music with Victor Borge”. After telling us that he plays the cello because to him it is like a human voice, Strulev turned from his being a superb

cellist and highly communicative performer in the concert’s first half to being a masterful entertainer a la Victor Borge in the second half. Adding to his magical pianissimos and astounding power, he infused delicious and sometimes hysterical humor, mostly with his facial, hand and leg expressions as mentioned, but now also using the cello itself, the strings, the wood, the bow, the whole body, as a means for laughs, just as Borge did with the piano, but without stopping the music to joke verbally. Shandelee Music Festival’s P.L.A.Y. the Classics series continues with its second performance of the season, Cabaret Night with Borislav Strulev and Friends. The program will include classical, tango and jazz, and will be announced from the stage on September 28 at 8:00pm in the Bethel Woods Event Gallery. I can’t wait to see him perform again.

They said they had seen my artwork on my Artology Studio website and offered me an opportunity to submit designs for their clothing and accessories line,” she explained. “I began by submitting a few designs via their online

design studio. They accepted my designs and encouraged me to do more. “To create my designs, I can select “traditional” artwork or photos that I have already created. I can also create designs that are specifically intended for a particular garment or accessory. Every designer has their own design page which is like an online store. “Their product line is expanding rapidly. As a preferred designer, I get early access to submit designs for new products. For example, VIDA will be launching a unisex t-shirt line in about a week; I can begin designing them today. “I chose to work with VIDA as I liked their business philosophy. In every location that they manufacture around the world, including in the U.S., they contribute to and are committed to the betterment of their employees and the community.” Visit Jamie’s design page at: https://shopvida. com/collections/jamie-taylor to take a peek at her fabulous designs!

May I Have A Word With You ... Quips, Quotes & Quiddities with Carol Pozefsky TOO SOON GOODBYE Some years ago, a young English friend of great charm and accomplishment died suddenly. Overwhelmed by the loss, his American friends felt the need for sharing our grief and memories and so we gathered for a dinner in his honor. Much was said of his scholarship, his humanity, his humility, but most profoundly, how briefly his brilliant star shone. These words were read, their author unknown: Do not judge a song by its duration Nor by the number of its notes. Judge it by the richness of its contents Sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant. Do not judge a song by its duration Nor by the number of its notes. Judge it by the way it touches and lifts the soul Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful. And when something has enriched your life

And when its melody lingers on in your heart Is it unfinished? Or is it endless? MINDFULNESS The language of mental health is varied and inventive. If someone uses the anonymity of a crowd to act out aggressions and impulses, it’s called deindividualization. Cardio-neurosis is a symptom of anxiety characterized by palpitations, pain in the heart, and a sense of suffocation. Aphagia is the inability or refusal to swallow or eat. Hyperphagia is pathological overeating. Marasmus is the deterioration of an infant who’s separated from the mother and deprived of affection. Gamophobia is the fear of marriage. Kakorrhaphiophobia is the fear of failure (the last word a kakorrhaphiophobic would want to encounter on a spelling bee!) A mania is a crazed desire for something.
