HISTORY OF THE SAMMYS Page 15

STARTING POINT Kudos to the many restaurants participating in the Downtown Dining Weeks.

Despite the fact that February was Syracuse’s most extreme weather month in history, the venues had such success that they extended their Dining Week specials for an extra week. Thumbs down to those public works supervisors who attempted a major snow removal operation on a Friday night during Dining Week. Employees towed cars away at the expense of those diners seeking to enjoy some of the best culinary options Syracuse has to offer, then tried to justify their actions as good government service. Wake up! If you anger people coming into downtown, they will stop coming into downtown, and then merchants will go away. Duh. We report in this issue another stellar Syracuse M&T Jazz Fest coming to Syracuse with a great lineup of performers. Our staff and 25,000 or so fans look forward to another great musical showcase on the campus of Onondaga Community College. Who knows, maybe next year there will be a new amphitheater on the lake?

Congratulations to all the Sammy winners. Check out Photography by Michael Davis, Russ Tarby’s story on the Cover design by history of the event, from its foundCaitlin O’Donnell ing more than 20 years ago by Frank Malfitano to today.

Curses, Foiled Again

Police looking for the man who beat up a woman in Ambridge, Pa., and held her captive for 12 hours, found him trying to flee town by bus. An hour after the victim called 911, suspect Donald Harrison, 22, posted the Facebook message, “IT’S TIME TO LEAVE PA.” The next day, she told police she spotted Harrison’s selfie on Facebook, announcing, “OMW TO SPARTANSBURG SC.” The Spartanburg bus had just left, so officers caught up to it and arrested Harrison. “We like it when dumb criminals assist in our investigation,” police Chief James Mann said, noting the Pittsburgh suburb has already been featured on World’s Dumbest Criminals for “a couple of things.” (Beaver County Times)

Tough Love

Elizabeth Hupp arranged the armed kidnapping of her 6-year-old son to teach him a lesson, Missouri authorities said, because his family thought he was being too nice to people he didn’t know. Officials said the boy’s grandmother, an aunt and a co-worker of the aunt also took part in the ordeal, during which the boy was tied up and threatened with a gun, had his pants removed and was told he could be sold into sex slavery. After four hours, police said the boy “was unbound and told to go upstairs, where the family lectured him about stranger danger.” (CNN)

Authorities accused Stefanie Felicia Stern, 28, of leaving her 3-year-old daughter alone in a liquor store in Deerfield Beach, Fla., while she left to hide a handgun after her boyfriend shot himself in the leg. Her arrest warrant said boyfriend Reginald Leon Lee, 34, got into an argument with another customer and chased him out by waving his gun. While putting the gun back in his waistband, he fumbled, and the weapon accidentally fired.

Lee claimed a stranger had shot him, but surveillance video proved otherwise. It showed Stern running out with the gun but without the child. (South Florida Sun Sentinel)

QUICK TAKE

By Ed Griffin-Nolan A train carrying crude oil lies burnt after derailing near Boomer Bottom, W. Va., on Feb. 17. Steven Wayne Rotsch/Office of the Governor of West Virginia via The New York Times photo

COUNTY GOES FROM ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH TO NO ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL

B

ob Conley, the assistant fire chief of Galena, Ill., ordered his troops to do the sensible thing when a tanker train carrying explosive crude oil went off the tracks and caught fire near his town last week. He told them to get the hell out of the way and wait for the fireball to burn itself out.

Conley was following the best practice available to him. Evacuation is the only response that emergency crews around the country have found to the increasingly common derailment and explosion of trains carrying oil from the Bakken shale in North Dakota.

Add Boomer Bottom, W.Va., and Galena, Ill., to Lynchburg, Va., and Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, as areas that have witnessed horrific explosions and fires. In our eagerness to get oil from well to refinery, we are allowing combustible oil to be shipped too close to our homes in cars that federal officials acknowledge to be unsafe.

Last month the residents of Boomer Bottom were roused from their homes and evacuated when a train came off the tracks. Doors blew off the hinges, children were scared half to death, but thankfully, no one died. Boomer Bottom is home to 615 men, women and children. These trains go through crowded metropolitan areas every day. It is only fortune that has spared us or any other population center from a disaster.

Lac-Mégantic was home to 5,932 people when a train carrying Bakken oil dispatched 47 of those souls to the next life in July 2013. How many more people live near the tracks in our community? Lots.

The most recent derailments and fires involved the retrofitted “1232” rail cars that the federal government and the railroads have started using in the past few months. That changeover, from the DOT 111 cars that carried the crude that incinerated LacMégantic, was largely cosmetic, according to federal officials we interviewed at the time. It is a feel-good measure with no public safety value.

In the 11 months since we began reporting on the daily passage of dangerous explosive oil through Onondaga County, our leaders have been asleep at the switch when it comes to protecting the public.

Consider this: Bakken crude had been coming through the county for at least a year when we first contacted county officials to ask about it. They were unaware of the trains’ existence. CSX, the rail company handling the cargo, is under no obligation to tell

us when they send such hazards through our backyard.

Here’s what’s happened since: CSX led local first responders in training exercises last summer, the Minoa Fire Department was given a foam spreader, and plans were announced for a full-scale simulation “early this year.”

It is no longer early this year, and, as far as anyone can tell, that drill has not taken place. One of the reasons for the delay might be the resignation of Kevin Wisely, the county official responsible for emergency management. In January Gov. Andrew Cuomo appointed him to a job in New York state’s Homeland Security Division.

During his tenure at the county, Wisely was dismissive of concerns about the oil trains. His responses were not comforting.

Mostly he would note how many other nasty toxic and combustible items came through town on the rails and assure us that his troops were prepared.

Wisely was whistling in the dark. But at least we could hear him whistle. Now he is in Albany and his office sits empty.

When I called Onondaga County Emergency Management last week, I was told that they did not have an interim boss and did not know when a new commissioner would be named. I called the county executive’s office to ask when a new commissioner would be appointed. Deputy County Executive Martin Skahen replied promptly with careful nonchalance, saying that the search for a replacement was “ongoing” and there is no timeline.

Meanwhile, hundreds of schoolchildren sit in the path of an oil train disaster every day. Thousands of our neighbors and friends live so close to the tracks that they would be toasted by a derailment and fire.

Why are our local officials unwilling or unable to step up to prepare us? When will the evacuation drills begin? And why don’t we even have someone in charge of emergency response? SNT

QUICK TAKE article on page 9.

By Jeff Kramer

Honk! This model train fire, while horrific, would make the real thing look like a blowout against the College of Saint Rose.

Matthew Newman photo

MODEL CITIZEN RAILS AGAINST TRAIN WRECKS

W

hich of the following poses the biggest threat to our way of life? a.) Harsh NCAA sanctions against the Syracuse University Athletic Department. b.) Mute swans, such as those in the Manlius Swan Pond, that have been targeted by the state as an “invasive species.” c.) Oil trains passing through Syracuse that could explode in a massive fireball of death and destruction.

It’s a close call, but I’m going with Option C. While I fear the impact of those 12 lost basketball scholarships — and who doesn’t shudder at the specter of Asian waterfowl crowding out native species?

— it’s the thought of being vaporized in a mushroom cloud of fracked oil and poison smoke that scares me most.

North America has experienced five Calamity Trains in the past month alone: in West Virginia, Illinois and three in Ontario, including one that exploded AFTER I STARTED WRITING THIS COLUMN! Syracuse would be safer replacing its tracks with a dynamite factory. Dynamite is more stable than the North Dakota crude carried in the hundreds of inadequate tanker cars that roll through Central New York each week.

The good news is that Sen. Charles Schumer has come out firmly against exploding death trains.

Responding to the boom in rail explosions, he announced last week that he is pushing for tougher federal standards for transporting the super-combustible Bakken crude.

Of course, Schumer pushes for a lot of things depending on the news of the day, including cheaper pet meds and a lower tax on hard cider. Sometimes the well of Schumer outrage is so deep we forget what’s actually down there.

Here’s the concern: At some point Schumer will move on to the next big issue, say, legislation to mandate truthfulness in canker sore medication labeling.

And then what? Shouldn’t we as a community be working on our own behalf to prevent the unthinkable? It’s our blast zone. Let’s own it.

Then, like a rolling fireball, it hit me: To build awareness, we should construct a model train installation that demonstrates in a fun, yet chilling, way the hazards of an oil train explosion right here in Syracuse!

Guess who got his caboose in gear and built a prototype?

See, some time ago I took up model railroading as a hobby, only to give it up after a few years. I don’t really understand why I embraced model railroading in the first place or why I stopped. I just know that

when my sister in-law, Amy, bought me an engineer’s hat for Christmas one year, I started asking myself serious questions about the kind of person I wanted to be and whether people’s perceptions of me “mattered.”

I ended up donating my entire O gauge collection — including a large number of miniature hobos and hobo encampments — to my in-laws. It remained in their garage until this past weekend when I sacrificed select pieces to create the safety demonstration pictured here. (To watch the video, go to syracusenewtimes.com.)

Serious model railroaders need to cut me some slack. I’m aware that my diorama has limitations: • The miniature Destiny USA threatened by the train fire doesn’t look like the actual mall. The architecture is too nice, plus no tenants have filed for bankruptcy.

• Using real fire to destroy the installation undercuts the goal of having an installation.

• An accurate depiction of an oil train fire requires many more tank cars. At least half of them should be too old to carry Bakken crude. But even the retrofitted ones should fail.

• There’s no mushroom cloud.

Creating a massive oil train explosion in miniature that checks all these boxes will require more expertise than I — or even Sen. Schumer — possess. It will require involvement of the Central New York model railroading community, donations of cash and materials, and a location that meets or exceeds local fire codes.

Tactically, the big question is: derailment or collision? If it’s the latter, we can draw on a famous scene from The Addams Family, in which Gomez crashes two toy locomotives for fun. For real-life inspiration, there’s the 2001 wreck in East Syracuse when an Amtrak train rear-ended a CSX freight train, injuring 62.

03.11.15 - 03.17.15 | syracusenewtimes.com

Aretha Franklin, the undisputed queen of soul who is No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s list of Top 100 Greatest Singers, will reign on Saturday, July 18. Franklin will be preceded by the Rolling Stone-voted Best New Band, Lake Street Dive, feating the RS-voted Best New Voice, Rachel Price.

Aside from the female frenzy, there will also be the Louisiana flavors of Buckwheat Zydeco and Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on Friday, July 17, as well as local and scholastic groups including the City of Syracuse Parks and Recreation Stan Colella All-Star Band, AppleJazz, Noteified and the Upstate Burners. The free festival will return to the rolling lawns of the campus of Onondaga Community College campus.

“As a programmer, I have to look at each night independently,” says Jazz Fest founder and producer Frank Malfitano. “Each has to crescendo to a finale. I have to entertain the audiences first and foremost and look for great entertainers. Each of these artists has put their indelible stamp on the music. I’ve got to sequence the programming the same way you put together a set list, with each performance leading into the next.

“And it would be incorrect to say I have a personal favorite over any other,” Malfitano continues. “I love them all. It’s really gonna be great. But, if I’m being completely honest, as a presenter, nothing tops presenting Aretha Franklin. It is the ultimate.”

Malfitano first met Franklin during the civil rights movement when both marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But it wasn’t until 2000 that Malfitano first presented her at the Detroit Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts. Since then, he’s presented her more than a dozen times, including at the 25th anniversary M&T Jazz Fest in 2007, when Franklin set the single-day Jazz Fest record, drawing 40,000 people.

“She’s the greatest there ever was,” he says. “And she can do it all.”

The singer is currently performing in support of Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics, the 2014 album that features the powerhouse covering everything from Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” to the Prince-Sinead O’Connor track “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Malfitano hails the CD as “one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard.”

Franklin’s inclusion in this year’s festival is not only a major event for Syracuse, but it’s also a major catalyst for Lake Street Dive’s appearance on the bill. When Malfitano contacted this new-to-the-radar band’s agent, he wasn’t quick to agree to a jazz festival.

“I saw them and they blew me away,” Malfitano says. “They were just phenomenal and Rachel (Price) is a force of nature. I

talked to their agent and said, ‘Look, do you guys ever do jazz festivals?’ And he said, ‘We really play things like South By Southwest and Coachella, more indie, alternative stuff.’ I said, ‘I’d love to have you on the stage that night.’ He asked, ‘Who ya got headlining?’ I said, ‘Aretha.’ He said, ‘We’re in.’”

The mix of next-generation musicians mixing with their heroes is something Malfitano loves to see but doesn’t force. “I reached out to all my agent friends and they got back within 24 to 48 hours,” he says. “It happened really quickly.”

Still, the pairing is an impressive one. Lake Street Dive, an indie jazz and soul band from Boston, mixes students of the New England Conservatory of Music with an intangible electric quality. Since winning the 2005 jazz category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and releasing their debut CD in 2006, the band has exploded.

In 2013, they played more than 150 gigs in 120 cities spread among 32 states and eight countries. In 2014, their “Bad Self Portraits” tour soul out in 40 venues and they’re widely known as the hippest indie band on the rise. “They’re like Adele on steroids,” Malfitano says.

Zydeco and Smooth Jazz

Jazz Fest commences on Friday, July 17, with musicmaker Buckwheat Zydeco. “I haven’t worked with Buckwheat since 1998 and he’s still bringin’ it big time,” Malfitano says. “He’s the king of zydeco.”

Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural doesn’t just play a show: He brings an experience. His performances don’t just bring zydeco music to life but often include traditional Louisiana costumes and puppets. Dural’s music works as an entrée to the culture.

For more than 30 years, the accordionist has performed with diverse talents including Eric Clapton, U2 and the Boston Pops. He also played at the 1996 Summer Olympics, for President Bill Clinton twice, was an honoree at the 2014 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and has appeared on TV’s Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show, CBS Morning News and more. Buckwheat also became the

first zydeco band to release a children’s album, 1994’s Choo Choo Boogaloo.

“He’s iconic,” Malfitano concludes.

Following Buckwheat Zydeco will be Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. “When I found out Wynton was available and not in Europe,” Malfitano says, “I jumped on that in a heartbeat.”

By creating and performing with quartets to big bands, chamber ensembles to symphonies, Marsalis has changed the vocabulary of jazz music. He also brings a distinct taste of his New Orleans birthplace to the music.

“We have a 30-year tradition of working with New Orleans musicians,” Malfitano emphasizes. “It’s the birthplace of jazz. From an educational and spiritual standpoint, it’s incredibly important. It’s safe to say the festival has a real connection to New Orleans.

And in the last two years, with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Trombone Shorty, they proved most popular.”

Marsalis started his career at age 17, as the youngest musician ever to be admitted to Tanglewood’s Berkshire Music Center. In 1981, he formed his own band and performed more than 120 shows annually for 15 years. Since then, he’s worked in jazz and classical as a musician, composer, bandleader, educator and advocate of American culture and music. He is also the first jazz musician ever to win a Pulitzer Prize (in 1997), as well as the only artist to win nine Grammy Awards in both classical and jazz.

“He is the prince of jazz,” Malfitano says.

When Malfitano was filling the final slots of the festival, he had tough decisions to make. The 2015 streamlined two-day Jazz Fest format can only accommodate eight artists. On top of that, Malfitano always strives to include both scholastic and local groups on the bill, making for limited real estate.

“I’ve always felt, but especially in the last few years with shows like Salt City Waltz and Respect: Central New York Women in Music, that it makes more sense for the festival to have all-star groups on stage,” he says. “That way we can showcase more artists in the region rather than selecting one working jazz group.

Breaking the Mold

WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN?

Music writer Russ Tarby on the history of the Syracuse Area Music Awards, still truckin’ after 17 shows over 22 years. Michael Davis photographs More than two decades ago, four lovers of local live music, accompanied by a bottle of plum wine, gathered at Sakura, Mrs. K’s intimate sushi-and-jazz club on West Fayette Street. Led by Syracuse Jazz Fest founder Frank Malfitano, at the time the executive director of downtown’s Landmark Theatre, the quartet included graphic artist Sue Lunn, Herald-Journal music writer Brain Bourke and me. At the time, I was the music and events editor at the Syracuse New Times.

Our mission? To brainstorm the creation of the Syracuse Area Music Awards, nicknamed the Sammys.

Between sips of sweet vino, the ever-loquacious Malfitano — a reputed teetotaler — waxed eloquent about his idea to honor the musicians who elevate our community’s quality of life. Brian and I raced to compile long lists of potential honorees and hall-of-famers. We debated the pros and cons of various awardsshow formats and musical categories.

Sue Lunn sketched logo ideas, including a never-used image of a salt shaker with its contents pouring through its cap’s tiny holes.

“I hatched the idea in 1991,” Malfitano remembers. “I spent three years raising $30,000 for the first edition of the Sammys. For the launch, we wanted to make sure it came out of the gates in a big way because, as Will Rogers said, ‘You never get second chance to make a first impression.’”

Malfitano already had experience running music events. He had christened the Syracuse Jazz Festival in 1982, and over that decade he worked in the jazz biz in Manhattan and Washington, D.C. In summer 1990, he was hired to helm the Landmark.

“I had three goals at the time,” Malfitano remembers. “I wanted to put the Jazz Fest downtown and make it free. I wanted to establish the Sammys. And I wanted to create a Syracuse Walk of Stars. The purpose of each goal was to elevate the profile of Syracuse musicians and artists and give them the recognition that had been previously lacking in the community. For the Sammys, I envisioned a great show at a great venue with great production quality. I even wanted the statuettes to be significant and memorable.”

So he assembled an ad hoc advisory group, including early Sammys supporters such as the UpDowntowners, led by Winterfest honcho Bill Cooper; Syracuse New Times editor-in-chief Mike “Mr. Goodvibes” Greenstein; booking agent Dave Rezak; Ron Wray, dubbed the “Syracuse Music Authority”; and local concert promoter Liz Nowak.

“Frank sent me a postcard asking if I’d be interested in joining the committee,” recalls Nowak, who became Sammys chair in 2009. “I had good contacts with people like Mark Gummer at National Audio, the radio stations and local musicians, so I was pleased to participate.”

TROPHY CATCH

The Sammys have rock’n’rolled with several alterations over the years. “The directors on the committee have changed and so have the venues and the time of the year,” says Sammys chair Liz Nowak. “But the award statuette has remained the same.”

Designed by the late David O. Chase of ChaseDesign in Skaneateles, the monolithic awards were initially manufactured in Canada but have since been produced by a U.S. firm. They cost $150 each, and the committee absorbs significant postage and handling costs to make sure they’re delivered here by showtime.

“We only give one statuette to each winner, even if it’s a 10-piece band,” Nowak said. “So if the band wants trophies for all of its members or its roadies or whatever, they can pay $175 for each additional statuette.”

Over the course of its 17 shows, the Sammys have awarded 529 statuettes, including 444 winning awards and 84 trophies for Hall of Fame inductees, lifetime achievers and educators.

Rock the Joint In 1992, while Sammys plans were in full swing, the local music community was stunned by the sudden death of Bourke, 30. While biking to Nashville that summer, he was hit by a car on a Pennsylvania highway.

Bourke’s untimely death seemed to shake the Syracuse music community into action. “It’s sad to say,” Malfitano muses, “but I think the turning point was when Brian Bourke passed away. Before that, it was tough to get everyone on board.

Not everyone shared my vision for the Sammys.”

The Sammys committee named the Best New Artist Award after Bourke, and that seemed to motivate production people and potential sponsors who now saw the awards as a both a memorial and a celebration of life.

“It wasn’t easy getting that Spruce Goose airborne,” Malfitano says. “But after that first edition, the subsequent shows flowed like milk and honey and butter.”

The first Syracuse Area Music Awards show finally hit the boards at the Landmark on May 7, 1993, hosted by comedian Jeff Altman, a Nottingham High alumnus. “I always thought it should be Syracuse comedians,” Malfitano says, “so I went with Jeff Altman and I brought back Bobcat Goldthwait and Tom Kenny from the Generic Comics.”

Big winners that first year were George Rossi, Joe Whiting, Stroke and the Hagan brothers, and jazz singers Ronnie Leigh and Nancy Kelly. Radio icons Dick Clark and “Dandy” Dan Leonard received Lifetime Achievement Awards, while the freshman class of Sammys Hall of Fame inductees included Jimmy Cavallo, Stan

Colella, Benny Mardones, Tony Trischka and Spiegle Willcox.

“It was one for the record books,” Malfitano exclaims. “It was like a prize fight or a movie premiere, with limos and black ties, a great overture by Stan’s orchestra, Cavallo honkin’ that horn. Quite an occasion, very special!”

Hyperbole aside, the first Sammys drew a near-sellout crowd of 2,400. From the outset, Malfitano realized ticket sales would help balance the annual budget.

“We knew that each of our nominees would have five or six friends and family members who would buy tickets to the show,” he said. “No doubt about it, we wanted to put fannies in the seats.”

Rhythm of the City Malfitano ran the Sammys over its first three incarnations, in 1993, April 22, 1994 (again hosted by Altman), and April 12, 1996 (presided by the Goldthwait-Kenny tandem), when he received a Hall of Fame Award. Longtime Syracuse New Times editor-in-chief Mike Greenstein took over as chair for the Landmark’s next show in November 1997.

The budget remained at about $30,000 that year when former Saturday Night Live star Joe Piscopo hosted the 1997 event. “That number would include talent, lighting, staging, security and some theater costs,” Greenstein wrote in an email. “A lot of stuff and services were, of course, donated or severely discounted.”

Piscopo didn’t come cheap. “Talent was no doubt the biggest expenditure,” Greenstein confirms.

Sammy revenues were similarly varied.

“Revenue came from sponsors (little cash, mostly in-kind donations such as graphics

and space from the Syracuse New Times and various radio co-sponsors) and ticket sales,” Greenstein remembers.

Musicians themselves pitched in to raise cash for the awards show. “I remember organizing and playing in songwriter showcases and some in-store gigs to raise money for the Sammys,” says multiple-Sammy winner Gary Frenay, who also served on the committee from 1992 to 1999.

In those days, Greenstein also attended plenty of fundraisers.

“We had Sammys showcases (multiband events in clubs), and I even recall bowling at Flamingo (Bowl) and my farewell party at Styleen’s Rhythm Palace both raised money for the Sammys.”

After Greenstein moved to Seattle in 1998, the chair position was filled by Gregg Gambell, an advertising rep who had ascended to general manager at the Syracuse New Times. The newspaper’s publisher, Art Zimmer, and his wife, Shirley, had also been enthusiastic Sammys supporters.

Gambell may have lacked music-industry experience and was the youngest of the Sammys chairs, but somehow he and his committee put the Sammys back on its feet. Following the ceremony’s hiatus of nearly three years (the 1999 blowout was hosted by Rhonda Shear, then a popular host on the USA Network), Gambell oversaw the Sammys’ swan song at the Landmark on Feb. 1, 2002 (emceed by Moody McCarthy), then held the committee together over for another two years without putting on a show.

Listen to the Music Finally in June 2004, Gambell and company reinvented the Sammys and brought the awards show to the food-flooded Taste of Syracuse street festival, held each June in downtown Syracuse.

The awards, staged every year from 2004 to 2009, were now presented outside under a tent rather than onstage at a gorgeous Jazz Age theater.

Yet partnering with Taste founder Jim Horsman was a good way to save money: With no need to underwrite paychecks for big-name hosts such as Piscopo and Shear, the committee no longer needed to raise $30K the way Malfitano did in the beginning.

The overall budget had dropped to less than half that figure, as local radio personalities donated their time to emcee the show.

Before the 2005 event, Horsman sold Taste of Syracuse to Ed and Pam Levine’s Galaxy Communications, which continued hosting the Sammys for the next four years. “We had a great relationship with Galaxy,” Nowak says.

In those days, state Sen. John DeFrancisco was still bringing home the bacon in the form of state tourism grants, which buoyed the cash-strapped awards show and practically every other festival in town. So Gambell quietly steered the Sammys steadily through its first half-decade before Nowak took over for the awards’ last year at Taste of Syracuse in 2009.

In other changes, the first separate Hall of Fame celebration took place in 2009 at Alliance Bank Stadium (now known as NBT Bank Stadium), then moved in 2010 to Upstairs at the Dinosaur, its current location. Meanwhile, the Sammys awards show relocated to the Pirro Convention Center for the 2010 and 2011 editions, then moved to Eastwood’s Palace Theatre in 2013, where it has regained some of its former glitz.

“Taste of Syracuse was fine for the performances,” observed six-time Sammy-winner and former Sammys board member Joe Whiting. “But trying to present the Sammys Hall of Fame and lifetime awards was kind of awkward. It’s much better now that those awards are given at an inside venue where you can actually hear the acceptance speeches.”

State Sen. John DeFrancisco jams with fellow sax symbol Joe Whiting at the 2007 Sammys.

JURY DUTY

Speaking of Whiting, early Sammys fans were made aware of the “Joe Whiting Rule,” which Joe himself had suggested, stipulating that no artist would be eligible to win the same award two years in a row. Now that the focus is on recent recordings, that rule has grown obsolete, but when it was in effect it encouraged honoring more and newer performers.

To further involve Central New York’s music fans, the Sammys has traditionally sponsored a few People’s Choice Awards in categories including Best Band, Best Venue and Best Festival. In 1993, just 165 people’s choice votes were cast via a 900 phone number managed by the Syracuse New Times. This year, according to Nowak, more than 115,000 votes were registered online.

Meanwhile, the Sammys’ method for selecting awards had changed dramatically. In 2004 the Sammys committee replaced its popular-vote system with a gaggle of judges assigned to assess regional recordings. The Sammys now recognized a baker’s dozen recorded works, which trimmed expenses by eliminating ballot printing and lowering the number of trophies needed. For the 1993 awards show, the Sammys paid more than $6,100 for 41 statuettes. By honoring fewer performers, the Sammys sliced its trophy costs by half.

Talk Is Cheap As with all awards shows from the Oscars to the Grammys, the Sammys has endured its share of negative press over the years. Local songwriter and radio host Larry Hoyt, for example, created a stir with Facebook posts grumbling about what he labeled a “painfully loud” sound mix at the March 2014 awards show at the Palace. Many attendees, including at least six musicians, agreed with him about the surfeit of volume.

“In retrospect, I probably went about it the wrong way,” he says, now maintaining that he should have gone directly to the Sammys committee with his observations in the spirit of constructive criticism.

“I just think that since the Sammys are trying to

promote the music created here, they ought to make sure that that music can be properly heard and enjoyed.”

Another persistent Sammys complaint is that musicmakers have to cancel paying band jobs in order to attend the awards show — on a weekend night, no less. “Yeah, that’s the complaint I most often hear from other musicians,” Whiting admits.

“But what are we gonna do: Schedule the Sammys on a weekday? In terms of attracting crowds (to the awards show), it’s got to be on a weekend night. It’s a special event once every year or two years, so you just gotta bite the bullet.”

Still, the Sammys committee could theoretically silence this longstanding gripe by moving its awards show to a Sunday. The Rochester Music Hall of Fame, for instance, will induct its 2015 nominees, including jazz keyboardist Gap Mangione, on Sunday, April 26, at the Eastman Theatre.

In the early Sammys years there was also plenty of moaning regarding the categories. Malfitano wasn’t surprised: “People here, including musicians and club owners, are always complaining. You gotta stay above the fray. I mean it was like herding cats sometimes, and I had to be a tough guy to keep everyone in line.”

The first six awards shows featured nominations in nearly three dozen categories, ranging from country to rhythm’n’blues, from blues to jazz, from best band to best vocalist. The Sammys committee itself nominated up to five acts in each category and also determined lifetime achievers and hall of fame inductees, two of the former and five of the latter at its 1993 debut.

All members of the music industry —from stars in the spotlight to the backstage crew pushing equipment, to bartenders pouring the sauce — were eligible to vote in 34 categories. Buckets full of ballots came in, and counting them was an arduous task. When the ballot-vote system was replaced with a committee that judged recordings in 2004, the Sammys more closely mirrored its Grammys model.

Now there are nominations for locally produced recordings in 13 genre categories including

For the past six years, classical pianist Andrew Russo has served as chair of the Sammys judging committee.

Russo knows something about big-time music competitions: After studying in New York City, France and Germany, he played in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2001.

Besides Russo, this year’s judges include audio engineer Paul Bertalan, Syracuse University instructor of music James Abbott and longtime local music fan Andrew Goldberg of Fayetteville.

Russo’s jury spends many hours listening to CD submissions. Since last December, the four judges evaluated nearly 100 recordings submitted by local musicians to choose this year’s 57 nominees.

“After nominees are selected, each judge spends five or six days with the recordings, drilling deeper and ranking them in order,” Russo explains. “Points are assigned to each rank and simple math is done to get each recording’s score in each category. If there’s a clear winner, the process stops there.”

If there is a tie for first or the top two scores are very close in a category, the judges discuss finer points of the submitted work to determine a winner.

2015 SAMMYS WINNERS The 2015 Sammys committee, which includes chair Liz Nowak, treasurer Debbie Foley, Carol Thoryk O’Leary, Julie Briggs, Ron Wray and Mike Donohue, selected this year’s four honorees for the Sammys Hall of Fame: Bobby Comstock, Chris Goss, Loren Barrigar and The Works. The committee also anointed Dave Rezak as music educator of the year and Jon Fishman with the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Hall of Fame awards were presented March 5 at the Upstairs at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que venue.

The Sammys ceremony, presented March 6 at Eastwood’s Palace Theatre, yielded these winners: Best Pop: Nick & Noah Best Country: Megan Lee Best Jazz: Nick Ziobro Best Hip-Hop: Nick Case a.k.a. Decoy Best Blues: Castle Creek Best R&B: Brownskin Band Best Americana: Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers Best Alternative: Leah Shenandoah Best Rock: William Gruff Best Hard Rock: Nineball Best Other Style: Samba Laranja Best Jam Band: Joe Driscoll and Sekou Kouyate Best Singer-Songwriter: Alanna-Marie Boudreau Brian Bourke Award, Best New Artist: Spring Street Family Band People’s Choice, Best Artist: Briana Jessie People’s Choice, Best Festival: Fox Fest People’s Choice, Best Venue: Kegs Canalside

hip-hop, alternative, Americana and singer-songwriter. “There have been category shifts and additions in response to stylistic shifts in the music scene,” notes Andrew Russo, who chairs the judging committee. “Jam Band is a new (category) addition this year, and there always is a broad Other Styles category for music that doesn’t really fit any type of stylistic label. There’s great variety among each year’s submissions. That’s what makes this event so interesting.”

Train Keep A Rollin’ The number of awards is one thing, but the bottom line still has to be measured in dollars and cents.

In 1997, the year after Malfitano’s last year as chair, the Sammys became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Its tax returns simply state that it operates under the $50,000 limit, which allows the organization to keep its financial information confidential.

“We’re not obligated to make our budget or other financial information public,” Nowak wrote in an email. “I’m sure you can understand that publishing the agreements we have with our venues and other vendors could result in potentially sticky situations with other groups they work with.”

So let’s estimate the Sammys’ anticipated revenues and expenditures to get a pretty clear idea of its annual budget. Considering that money is not pouring in from Albany anymore, things still look fairly rosy. That’s primarily due to ticket revenue, something that was nonexistent for the Sammys during its six-year run at Taste of Syracuse.

If the awards shows sell out, in fact, the Sammys could bring in up to $17,000. Upstairs at the Dino seats 200 at $25 each, and the Palace seats 700 at $20, so gross receipts could be $5,000 and $12,000 at each respective venue.

Of course, the venues charge rent. Upstairs at the Dinosaur normally rents for $1,000, and if the Sammys pay $11.95 per person for dinner, that’s another $2,390 for a total of at least $3,390 owed to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Rental at the Palace usually goes for a grand plus another $1,400 or so for soundman Mike Angiolillo, for total overhead of at least $2,400 at the theater.

Besides ticket sales, the Sammys makes money from sponsorships and donations. For the second year in a row, the Destiny USA nightclub World of Beer, which features live music most nights of the week, has bought in as Sammys title sponsor at an annual rate believed to be $2,500.

Other sponsors are invited to back the awards at the Gold level ($1,500) or the Silver level ($500).

This year, there’s only one Silver sponsor, K-Mase Productions, Kathleen Mason’s Eastwood-based events company. And the Sammys website (syracuseareamusic.com) lists 14 “Friends of the Sammys,” including all of the committee members who contribute $25 each for a total of $350.

Since apparent expenses total about $10,000 and estimated income approaches $15,000 or so,

it looks as though the Sammys do better than break even, and that’s good because it leaves a little financial foundation on which to build the next big show.

“We are a tiny, volunteer-run organization,” Nowak says. “We depend on the goodwill of our partners and the community.”

Who Loves You? After nearly a quarter-century, the Sammy Awards have become a local music institution. Malfitano believes that the Sammys have fulfilled his vision to elevate the status of artists and entertainers in this Rust Belt burg. “I’ve seen Sammys (statuettes) displayed on people’s mantelpieces, on their desk at work, even at funerals,” Malfitano says.

“Frank was the driving force to get it going, but the dedication of Liz has kept it going,” Greenstein observes. “And without the Syracuse New Times to chronicle and promote it, it would not have happened or lasted.”

Longtime committee member Ron Wray notes that the Sammys Hall of Fame winners are especially pleased to have their entire body of work honored.

“Guys like Bobby Comstock and Chris Goss traveled a long ways to be here to attend their inductions this year,” he says. “They’re excited as hell to be here.”

And consider this year’s Lifetime Achievement winner, Jon Fishman, who went from the worst drummer in the Jamesville-DeWitt High School Marching Band to the namesake drummer of Phish, almost the greatest jam band ever, second only to the Grateful Dead.

Fishman himself says he’s a bit embarrassed to consider himself a lifetime achiever at age 50, but his dad, Dr. Leonard Fishman, can barely contain his paternal pride. “Dr. Fishman is going gaga about Jon’s award,” Nowak noted.

That’s what the Sammys are all about. SNT Russ Tarby served on the Syracuse Area Music Awards committee from its inception in 1992 to 1999 when he was music editor of the Syracuse New Times.

F R E E W I L L A S T R O LO G Y

ARIES (March 21-April 19). In the old Superman comics, Mister Mxyztplk was a fiendish imp whose home was in the fifth dimension. He sometimes sneaked over into our world to bedevil the Man of Steel with pranks. There was one sure way he could be instantly banished back to his own realm for a long time: If Superman fooled him into saying his own name backward. You might think it would be hard to trick a magic rascal into saying “Klptzyxm” when he knew very well what the consequences would be, but Superman usually succeeded. I’d like to suggest that you have a similar power to get rid of a bugaboo that has been bothering you, Aries. Don’t underestimate your ability to outsmart the pest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In 1637, mathemati-

would benefit from an adviser, teacher or role model.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). There’s a meme roll-

ing around Tumblr and Facebook that goes like this: “Everyone wants a magical solution for their problems, but they refuse to believe in magic.”

Judging from the astrological omens, I think this Internet folk wisdom applies to your current situation. As I see it, you have two choices. If you intend to keep fantasizing about finding a magical solution, you will have to work harder to believe in magic. But if you can’t finagle your brain into actually believing in magic, you should stop fantasizing about a magical solution. Which will it be?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) I have taken a pas-

cian Pierre de Fermat declared that he had solved the “Last Theorem,” a particularly knotty mathematical problem. Unfortunately, he never actually provided the proof that he had done so. The mystery remained. Other math experts toiled for centuries looking for the answer. It wasn’t until 1994, more than 350 years later, that anyone succeeded.

I think you are on the verge of discovering a possible solution to one of your own long-running riddles, Taurus. It may take a few more weeks, but you’re almost there. Can you sense that twinkle in your third eye? Keep the faith.

sage from a letter that Henry Miller wrote to Anais Nin, and I have chopped it up and rearranged it and added to it so as to create an oracle that’s perfect for you right now. Ready? “This is the wild dream: you with your chameleon’s soul being anchored always in no matter what storm, sensing you are at home wherever you are. You asserting yourself, getting the rich varied life you desire; and the more you assert yourself, the more you love going deeper, thicker, fuller. Resurrection after resurrection: That’s your gift, your promise.

The insatiable delight of constant change.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20). Your upcoming

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One of your

efforts might not be flawless in all respects, but I suspect you will triumph anyway. You may not even be completely sure of what you want, but I bet you’ll get a reward you didn’t know you were looking for. Cagey innocence and high expectations will be your secret weapons. Dumb luck and crazy coincidences will be your X-factors. Here’s one of your main tasks: As the unreasonable blessings flow in your direction, don’t disrupt or obstruct the flow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22). As soon as a baby

loggerhead turtle leaves its nest on a Florida beach, it heads for the ocean. It’s only two inches long. Although it can swim just one mile every two hours, it begins an 8,000-mile journey that takes 10 years. It travels east to Africa, then turns around and circles back to where it originated.

Along the way it grows big and strong as it eats a wide variety of food, from corals to sea cucumbers to squid. Succeeding at such an epic journey requires a stellar sense of direction and a prodigious will to thrive. I nominate the loggerhead turtle to be your power animal for the coming weeks, Cancerian.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In 1961, 19-year-old

Bob Dylan began doing solo performances of folk songs at New York City clubs. To accompany his vocals, he played an acoustic guitar and harmonica. By 1963, his career had skyrocketed.

Critics called him a creative genius. Pop stars were recording the songs he wrote, making him rich. But he still kept his instrumentation simple, relying entirely on his acoustic guitar and harmonica. That changed in 1965, when he made the leap to rock’n’roll. For the first time, his music featured a full drum set and electric guitar, bass and keyboards. Some of his fans were offended.

How dare he renounce his folk roots? I wonder if it might be time for you to consider a comparable transition, Leo. Are you willing to risk disorienting or disturbing those who would prefer you to stay as you are?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “Whoever travels

without a guide needs 200 years for a two-day journey.” That’s an old Sufi saying sometimes attributed to the poet Rumi. I don’t think it’s accurate in all cases. Sometimes we are drawn to wander into frontiers that few people have visited and none have mastered. There are no guides! On other occasions, we can’t get the fullness of our learning experience unless we are free to stumble and bumble all by ourselves. A knowledgeable helper would only interfere with that odd magic.

But right now, Virgo, I believe the Sufi saying holds true for you. Where you’re headed, you

24

important assignments in the coming week is to get high without the use of drugs and alcohol. Let me elaborate. In my oracular opinion, you simply must escape the numbing trance of the daily rhythm. Experiencing altered states of awareness will provide you with crucial benefits. At the same time, you can’t afford to risk hurting yourself, and it’s essential to avoid stupidly excessive behavior that has negative repercussions. So what do you think? Do you have any methods to get sozzled and squiffed or jiggled and jingled that will also keep you sane and healthy?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Singer Gloria

Gaynor recorded the song “I Will Survive” in 1978.

It sold more than 2 million copies and ultimately became an iconic disco anthem. And yet it was originally the B-side of “Substitute,” the song that Gaynor’s record company released as her main offering. Luckily, radio deejays ignored “Substitute” and played the hell out of “I Will Survive,” making it a global hit. I foresee the possibility of a similar development for you, Capricorn. What you currently consider to be secondary should perhaps be primary. A gift or creation or skill you think is less important could turn out to be pre-eminent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I’m tempted to

furrow my brow and raise my voice as I tell you to please please please go out and do the dicey task you’ve been postponing. But that would just be a way to vent my frustration, and probably not helpful or constructive for you. So here’s my wiser advice: To prepare for that dicey task, lock yourself in your sanctuary until you figure out what you first need to change about yourself before you can accomplish the dicey task. I think that once you make the inner shift, doing the deed will be pretty easy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In the fairy tale

“The Ugly Duckling,” the young hero suffers from a peculiar case of mistaken identity. He believes that he is a duck. All of his problems stem from this erroneous idea. By duck standards, he is a homely mess. He gets taunted and abused by other animals, goes into exile, and endures terrible loneliness. In the end, though, his anguish dissolves when he finally realizes that he is in fact a swan. United with his true nature, he no longer compares himself to an inappropriate ideal. Fellow swans welcome him into their community, and he flies away with them. Is there anything in this story that resonates with you, Pisces? I’m guessing there is. It’s high time to free yourself from false notions about who you really are.

DEFENDANTS: YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED to answer the Complaint in this action, and to serve a copy of your Answer, or, if the Complaint is not served with this Summons, to serve a Notice of Appearance on the Plaintiff’s Attorneys within twenty (20) days after the service of this Summons, exclusive of the day of service, where service is made by delivery upon you personally within the State, or within thirty (30) days after completion of service where service is made in any other manner, and in case of your failure to appear or answer, judgment will be taken against you by default for the relief demanded in the complaint.

NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home.

Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property.

Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action.

YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. The following notice is intended only for those defendants who are owners of the premises sought to be foreclosed or who are liable upon the debt for which the mortgage stands as security.

YOU ARE HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE THAT WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT, AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. The amount of the Debt: $430,247.93, consisting of principal balance of $236,882.75 plus interest of $144,202.24, escrow/ impound shortages or credits of $41,535.43, late charges of $114.09; Broker’s Price Opinion, inspection and miscellaneous charges of $5,504.00; surrogate search fee of $21.73; attorney fee $1,450.00 and title search $537.69.

Because of interest and other charges that may vary from day to day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater.

Hence, if you pay the amount shown above, an adjustment may be necessary after we receive the check, in which

event we will inform you.

The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed: PENNYMAC CORP. Unless you dispute the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, within thirty (30) days after receipt hereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. If you notify Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. in writing within thirty (30) days after your receipt hereof that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, we will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of any judgment against you representing the debt and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to you by Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. Upon your written request within 30 days after receipt of this notice, Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates P.C. will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor if different from the current creditor.

Note: Your time to respond to the summons and complaint differs from your time to dispute the validity of the debt or to request the name and address of the original creditor. Although you have as few as 20 days to respond to the summons and complaint, depending on the manner of service, you still have 30 days from receipt of this summons to dispute the validity of the debt and to request the name and address of the original creditor.

TO THE DEFENDANTS: The Plaintiff makes no personal claim against you in this action.

TO THE DEFENDANTS: If you have obtained an order of discharge from the Bankruptcy court, which includes this debt, and you have not reaffirmed your liability for this debt, this law suit is not alleging that you have any personal liability for this debt and does not seek a money judgment against you. Even if a discharge has been obtained, this lawsuit to foreclose the mortgage will continue and we will seek a judgment authorizing the sale of the mortgaged premises.

Please read it carefully.

Mortgage foreclosure is a complex process. Some people may approach you about “saving” your home. You should be extremely careful about

any such promises. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. There are government agencies, legal aid entities and other non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about foreclosure while you are working with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877226-5697) or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state. ny.us. The State does not guarantee the advice of these agencies.
