Take Me Back... to something meaningful

ome and share in the joyous blessings of the season at our traditional Christmas masses with hymns from yesteryear and oldfashioned Anglican/Episcopal worship with the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. We’ll level with you. We are traditionalists. There’s nothing modern or trendy about us. We don’t have a praise band, usually only the children jump up and shout during the service (which is fine!), and our worship service is in the early modern English of William Shakespeare and the King James Bible. But we also have a professionallytrained organist and choir, we sing the same oldschool hymns and carols your grandparents sang, and we pray the same prayers from the Book of Common Prayer that President George Washington prayed over two centuries ago. The old ways worked for our forefathers, and we think they work well for us today. If you think life was better and more wholesome when Christmas was about family, fellowship, and worship, and if you would like your Christmas to be something more meaningful than the usual shopping frenzy, come and join us as we celebrate Christmas the old-fashioned way. We’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but we could be yours.

NEWS WEIRD By Chuck Shepherd

Jen Sorensen

Oral Report

Radical dentistry was on display in November in London’s Science Gallery, where installations offered “art-science collaborations,” including Taiwan artist Kuang-Yi Ku’s “Fellatio Modification Project.” Former dentist Ku, complaining that textbooks on mouths tragically under-regard their value in sex, created (the ordinary way) a custom retainer for the client’s mouth but then added rubber “bumps” and “cones” and “ribs” and “ripples” that might be pleasing to a partner.

School Dazed

At the small Delaware liberal arts Wesley College, according to the U.S. Department of Education, even an accusation of sexual misconduct is so heinous that there was no need even to interview the alleged wrongdoer before expelling him. (An informal meeting did occur, but only after the investigation was completed.) The expulsion occurred even though the victim herself had not originally accused that particular student. The expelled student’s offense was to have helped set up video for a consensual sexual encounter that was, without consent, live-streamed. The Department of Education accepted a settlement in which Wesley agreed to revamp its code of student rights.

Suspicions Confirmed

Evolution, according to scientists, likely explains why some “prey” develop defense mechanisms to avoid “predators,” i.e., the prey who fail to develop them are unable to procreate because they’re dead, but a team of scientists from Sweden and Australia recently concluded that something similar happens in a species of fish in which males mate basically by huge-appendaged rape. Growing nine generations of the species in the lab, the researchers concluded that the females who can avoid the “rapist” evolve larger brains than those who fall victim. Researchers, loosely speaking, thus concluded that as males grow bigger penises, females grow bigger brains to outsmart them.

Business As Usual

A whistleblower goes to jail, while responsible industry executives make millions. Longtime Mississippi environmental activist Tennie White is 27 months into a 40-month sentence for “falsifying” three $150 tests in her laboratory, but high-ranking executives at the Kerr-McGee chemical conglomerate made millions on the case White helped expose: leakage of cancer-causing creosote into communities, including White’s Columbus, Miss., neighborhood. A detailed investigation by TheIntercept.com in November noted the executives’ brilliant response to the 25,000 creosote lawsuits nationwide: Put all the liability into one outlying company, eventually going bankrupt, but selling off, highly profitably, the rest of the firm.

Lone Star Empathy

Texas is among the most enthusiastic states for jailing low-income arrestees who cannot pay bail, especially during devastating family hardships, and the four Houston bail magistrates are particularly

when police stopped her car at 3 a.m. at an intersection — with a children’s swing set wedged onto the roof of her SUV. She had shortly before mistakenly driven through someone’s back yard and through the swing set. She registered .188 on the Breathalyzer.

Making Headlines harsh, according to a recent report of the Texas Organizing Project. After hearing one financially overwhelmed woman beg sarcastically that $1,000 bail is “nothing” next to her other bills, unsympathetic magistrate Joe Licata shrugged, “It’s nothing to me, either. It’s job security.”

Pervs In The News

When police in Port Orange, Fla., arrested Anthony Coiro, 76, in November, he admitted that he had a stash of “crazy” pornography, some featuring children. However, he adamantly insisted, “I’m not a pedophile. I’m just a pervert,” adding, “a law-abiding pervert.” He faces 52 counts. In November in Osaka, Japan, an unnamed arrestee apparently had his sexual molestation charge against a woman on a crowded train dramatically downgraded. “Actually,” the man indignantly told the judge, he is not a pervert, just a pickpocket, a lesser crime. The victim had testified that the man had brushed against her for “three seconds” and not the “30” she originally told police.

Speed police calculated Hector Faire, 19, reaching in an Oklahoma police chase: 208 mph. But they got him, anyway. Different languages spoken by children in Buffalo, N.Y., public classrooms: 85.

Breathless Drunkards

Michelle Keys, 35, among those joyously caught up in Iowa’s upset win over highly ranked Michigan in football in November and celebrating that night in Iowa City, was slurring and incoherent and told police she was certain she was standing in Ames, Iowa, which was 120 miles away, and had just watched the “Iowa State-Arizona” game, a matchup not played since 1968. She registered .225 on the Breathalyzer. A 38-year-old woman was arrested in Springwood, Australia, in November

“Man Mixing LSD and Cough Syrup Saves Dog From Imaginary Fire” (WNYT-TV, Albany, N.Y.; 10-15-2016). Panicked, he had first sought help from neighbors, who were unpersuaded by the sight of a fireless fire. “Santa Claus Speaks Out Against North Pole Ban of Marijuana Sales” (KTUU-TV, Anchorage). Cannabis is legal in Alaska unless towns ban it, and the legally named Mr. Claus needs it for cancer pain. “Dog On Loose Causes Sheep To Have Sex With Their Sisters in Walton On The Hill” (Surrey Mirror, Redhill, England, 9-22-2016). The wild dog has wrecked a planned mating program, leaving female sheep to canoodle with each other.

Booze News

In November, a court in Christchurch, New Zealand, ordered the local police to “undo” the 493 bottles’ worth of liquor they had recently poured down the city’s drain after raiding an unlicensed bar. The court said the police must pay a pumping company to recall the hooch because of environmental regulations.

PEARL TRIBUTE BRIGHTENS DIM DOME DEFEAT

o paraphrase the Counting Crows’ song “Long December,” the Saturday, Dec. 17, renewal of the once-fierce Georgetown-Syracuse University basketball rivalry was “all a lot of oysters, and one Pearl.”

You may like oysters, but you get the idea: If it wasn’t Pearl Washington Day at the Carrier Dome, Saturday would have been a complete bummer because this is turning into a long December for the Orange. A middling Georgetown team picked to finish fourth in the 10-team Big East Conference grabbed hold of the game midway through the second half and didn’t let go as the Hoyas shocked SU 78-71 before 25,131 fans. It was the largest on-campus crowd of this college basketball season and a total that, naturally, had to include “31” as a nod to Pearl. An Orange squad that Coach Jim Boeheim said before the season “is the best team we’ve had in a long time” and started the year ranked No. 19 in the country suffered a fourth non-conference loss for just the third time in Boeheim’s 41-year tenure. At 7-4 following the Monday, Dec. 19, 105-57 romp over Eastern Michigan and entering the Wednesday, Dec. 21, game against St. John’s at the Dome, the Orange will likely need to do better than last year’s 9-9 Atlantic Coast Conference record to have a shot at the

12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

NCAA Tournament. “Everybody knows what we have; we just have to live up to the expectations,” said point guard Frank Howard, who entered the Georgetown game leading the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio but had six turnovers and four assists. “Everybody’s not clicking at the same time. At this point, we’ve got to put everything together. We’re not going to quit.” The Orange players were clearly disappointed to lose on a day when Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack unveiled Pearl’s already-retired No. 31 in the block “S” that sits in the middle of Jim Boeheim Court. “I wish we could have got a win for him,” Howard said, softly. Video tributes to Washington played throughout the game, and the halftime ceremony featured many of Pearl’s former teammates presenting each member of Washington’s family with a framed photo of Pearl that also included a piece of Jim Boeheim Court. Washington died last spring from brain cancer. This past Saturday was a celebration of his life and impact as his electric style of play helped usher in the golden

age of SU basketball and the Big East. “What he was is right in front of us, every time they open the doors at the Carrier Dome,” said NBC sports broadcaster and SU alum Mike Tirico in the halftime video tribute. Understandably, Boeheim was subdued about the Pearl festivities after the game. But the halftime video tribute included this Boeheim nugget: “I can’t describe Pearl Washington to you. You had to see him. It’s just one of those things.” The tribute to Pearl softened the blow of the loss but didn’t erase the growing list of problems that Syracuse needs to resolve before starting ACC play Jan. 1 at Boston College. Here are a few of those “oysters”: • Sophomore Tyler Lydon had his best game with a career-high 29 points on 12-for-13 shooting and a team-best nine rebounds. But the rest of the team shot just 30 percent (13-for-44), SU was outrebounded 41-30, the Orange missed 11 of 25 free throws, and point guards Howard and John Gillon combined for 7 turnovers and six assists. “If Tyler Lydon doesn’t have an unbelievable game, we lose by 15,” Boeheim said. “One guy can’t do it. We’re not getting play out of enough guys.” More disturbing is that Georgetown guard LJ Peak said the Hoyas “wanted it more, so we came out on top.” That’s an often-used cliché, but maybe there’s

Clockwise from top left, SU coach Jim Boeheim gets antic; Georgetown coach John Thompson III gets empathetic; and forward Tyler Lydon keeps the Orange in the game. Michael Davis photo

something to it when you look at the “hustle” areas of defense and rebounding. “Defense and rebounding are really killing us,” Gillon said. “And when we play a good (defensive) possession, they get a second-chance shot and they throw up a three and that really kills us.” • Boeheim’s “best team in a long time” comment was based on the apparent depth of this team entering the season. But the Orange is down one as Boeheim said reserve center Paschal Chukwu will be “out for a long time” following surgery Saturday to repair a torn retina in his right eye. Freshman guard Tyus Battle, who had started SU’s three previous games, did not start Saturday because of a nagging foot injury that limited his practice time during the week. After playing 12 minutes against the Hoyas, Battle played 23 minutes and scored a team-high 18 points against Eastern Michigan as all eight scholarship players who played reached double figures for SU.

On Monday, Lydon left the game late in the first half with a strained right Achilles. He did not return to the game, but the injury does not appear to be serious. Still, with Chukwu out and senior forward Tyler Roberson still trying to climb out of Boeheim’s doghouse, a long-term injury to Lydon, Battle or another scholarship player would be a devastating blow to a team that isn’t as deep as we thought. • All is not lost, but to quote Yogi Berra, it’s getting late early for SU’s NCAA Tournament hopes. Last year’s team went through a 4-7 stretch that included non-conference losses to Wisconsin, Georgetown and St. John’s and still reached the Final Four. But that team had two impressive non-conference wins in its back pocket (Connecticut and Texas A&M) and earned a few crucial ACC wins (Duke, Notre Dame) to bolster its resume. Without any notable non-conference wins, the Orange needs to do all its heavy lifting in ACC play. The good news is that

SU will have plenty of opportunities as it will play seven league games against current top-25 teams (Duke, North Carolina, Louisville twice, Virginia, Notre Dame and Florida State), and four of those games are at the Carrier Dome. “We’ve still got a lot of basketball left,” Lydon said. “Just keeping pushing through it. We have to keep sticking together and keep our heads up.”

HOP ON POP

nfinite Pop, a new artisan-run pop-up shop at 410 S. Warren St., shows exactly what happens when a collective of candle makers, photographers, chefs, musicians, sign makers, clothing creators and more put their heads together to make the holiday season brighter. And while downtown Syracuse is not a field of dreams, as the recent closure of the artsy venue The Vault attests, that still doesn’t stop others from making things happen. Big Yellow Fellow entrepreneur Michael John Heagerty got the ball rolling, but the shop would not be where it is without help from his friends. Heagerty has been promoting the shop with a slogan of “21 vendors for 20 days,” as Infinite Pop stays open this week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Saturday, Dec. 24. And with the Big Yellow Fellow bicycle contraption getting tucked away for the winter, Heagerty’s main tasks are staffing the shop, welcoming customers and accepting cash or credit for the wares. A number of diverse craftspeople work the Pop shop, including artists Kara Cook and Ryan Wood, Sara Seib from Cuppa Candles, Cayetano Valenzuela of Black Rabbit Studio, musician Max Puglisi (also part of the guitar collective known as the Guitarchive Project), Chris Deutschman from Like You Mean It Way and Rebecca Alexander of Rebecca Stella Art. The established artists already have their own boutiques and consignment spaces, and are frequent

12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

participants in other local markets. “We’re all different artists working together,” said Cook, who has a strong focus on street scenes and abandoned buildings. “It brings in all types of people. It’s more exposure.” Cook has participated in independent markets and showed her work in restaurants, among other places, but she notes that it’s comfortable working with this group and sharing in the potential benefits. “It’s a Chelsea Market for Syracuse,” added Deutschman. The brightly lit space features Black Rabbit Studio hand-painted signs that coax potential customers to drink coffee or pay homage to our city, among other sayings. Genuine Charlie Sam T-shirts and funky clothing hang from a rack. Brilliantly colored ukuleles from Ish Guitars adorn a wall. “Everything is local, which is most important,” said Heagerty. “It’s a celebration of the anti-ordinary.” “It’s great that I don’t have to stay in one place and man my table,” said Wood with a chuckle. “I can leave and come back. It’s freeing.” The featured artists come to hang out or to relieve Heagerty; they

all have sympathy for him because he has to be there throughout Infinite Pop’s run. The project comes amid the kibosh on the Delevan Center studio spaces, the now-dissolved Funky Flea, and the currently idled Salt and Pepper Markets. “There is a hole,” said Valenzuela, noting the current lack of arts-focused markets. Valenzuela, who offers personally designed and hand-painted products, was previously involved with an artist-run market in Oswego. He also has a solution for the venue void: “When there isn’t a marketplace, make one.” Valenzuela candidly admitted that an artist’s life in this mid-sized city isn’t easy. Not being able to participate in shows means a loss of income. And if there aren’t opportunities to show products, the creations pile up in the artist’s studio. Each of the artists has also witnessed a customer’s a-ha moment: People compliment their work, they ask about the business and where they’re located, they inquire where to purchase more of a particular product and ask about upcoming appearances. So Infinite Pop is essentially a test run to see what works and what doesn’t. “The holidays are the busiest time for me with what I sell, and it’s probably the same for the rest of us,” said candle maker Seib, who often makes appearances in Utica and at the House of S. Jaye indie markets. She added that more artistic opportunities such as Infinite Pop would catalyze her passion. Her homemade soy candles fit the mold of unique mugs she comes across. Uniqueness is indeed the way to go: During Infinite Pop’s holiday run, artisans were willing to take time out of their schedules to hold workshops. Previous events included a presentation on beekeeping, a ceramics class, a candlelight yoga session, a tapas-and-singles event, music performances by Guitarchive Project guests Tim Herron, Jeff Martin and Cory Tyson, a cake decorating workshop, and the Java Draw on Dec. 18 that

GREAT TIPPING VENUES merged coffee with artistic ambitions. Infinite Pop has also hosted several food-focused events. There will be a Festivus Celebration on Friday, Dec. 23, 7 p.m., featuring cuisine by Chef 4 Rent. The menu will include tapas, bagel crisps, homemade spaghetti with blistered tomato garlic relish, meatloaf cupcakes and whipped potatoes. The event costs $40 per person. Heagerty is currently renting the Warren Street spot on a monthly basis through Bob Doucette of Paramount Realty Group. Should Doucette sell the space, the artists will have to vacate. Yet Infinite Pop was filled and ready for business in 48 hours after the initial social media group conversation. Heagerty and the participating artists will soon discuss post-holiday plans, fielding thoughts regarding what the next steps of the venture might entail. “Ideally, we’d like to keep it going,” said Wood. “We all bought into it.” The shop will continue after being closed the

upcoming holiday weekends. Heagerty said in a recent phone interview that the shop will remain in place, in the back end of Dey’s Plaza until the end of January. Seib added, “The beauty of creative people is that this could get pretty creative, especially when we’re all putting our heads together.” “It turns the lights on,” said Heagerty, who takes pride in knowing there is one less empty storefront in the city. Puglisi, a musician and nightlife organizer for Otro Cinco, checked out the space as soon as Heagerty came in possession of the keys. “Here was this dry and crappy room, and we were going to fill it,” he said. “It’s cross-pollination, a way to bridge a gap between art, music and the local food industry. I want to be inspired by the art, and I hope the artists are inspired by the music. And we’re going to build relationships.” “We’re all on a path,” said Valenzuela. “And by working together, we’ll only make that path bigger.” SNT

RECESS COFFEE GRINDS OUT ITS FIRST DECADE

Adam Williams (left) and Jesse Daino, co-owners of Recess Coffee, circa 2007. Michael Davis photo

esse Daino and Adam Williams had no aspirations to own a coffee shop and roastery. Williams was working at the Syracuse Real Food Co-op, off Westcott Street, and sometimes stopped in a neighborhood cafe called Recess on Harvard Place for coffee and conversation. When he learned of the owner’s plans to sell it, he recalls, “I half jokingly said I would buy it.’’ He asked his friend Jesse if he wanted to go in on it.

“It sort of fell in our laps,’’ Williams says. “We were young and dumb,’’ Daino adds. And that’s how Recess Coffee and Roastery got its start. They bought “ramshackle equipment’’ online and trained “haphazardly” to learn how to roast, brew coffee and pull espresso shots. Early on, they recall, they treated the coffeehouse as a sort of “clubhouse’’ for their friends. By their first anniversary, they say, they had started to realize the potential for success if they took things more seriously and put more effort into the business. So the pair gave it their all for four years, making enough money to pay rent and bills and living off the barista tip jar. Flash-forward 10 years and the Westcott Nation — and beyond — runs on Recess. It’s a staple of the coffee and roasting scene in Central New York, no longer the new kid in town. Major milestones in the Recess journey, include landing their first wholesale accounts (the Real Food Co-op and Alto Cinco), hiring staff (now more than 40) and keeping regular hours that customers could count on. On top of homemade baked goods, some of them vegan, they’ve added cafe fare such as sandwiches and salads. Daino and Williams say slow, steady, percolating growth has been key to the

Recess success. The flagship coffeehouse and laid-back community gathering place in the Westcott Nation underwent significant renovation in 2014. Last year, the partners added a second location with its own distinct vibe in the Courier Building downtown, across the street from City Hall. Wholesale accounts have grown to include more than 70 retail, restaurant and business customers. Williams, Daino and their team now roast 5,200 to 6,000 pounds of fairly traded and sustainable beans each month at Recess HQ, their 3,000-square-foot roasting, baking and production facility (and office space) on Boss Road, in DeWitt.

12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

The partners’ goals for 2017 include further renovation of the Harvard Place location, with an eye toward making the kitchen space more efficient and adding more variation to the café menu. They would also like to further grow the wholesale side of the business. Recess coffee can be found in the Adirondacks, the Albany area and Poughkeepsie but not yet in New York City. “That’s going to be the next step,’’ Daino says. They look forward to hosting more “cupping classes,’’ where participants learn about the flavor profiles and intricacies of individual coffees, enjoy food and baked goods and head home with some beans. Williams and Daino say their individual

roles have evolved somewhat over the years to fit their interests and strengths. Daino, the master roaster, took his first business class recently and focuses on the wholesale and financial end of the business. Williams, who did much of the baking in the early years, describes himself as “at the ground level,’’ managing operations, logistics and details. He worked with Mack Brothers to help design the cold brew tank at the Boss Road facility and is making plans for the coming renovations and kitchen build-out on Harvard Place — a challenge to execute when your business is open until midnight every day. The partners support each other, trust each other, and enjoy the same solid friendship they did when they attended high school together in Central Square. They’re grateful for their staff and customers, and their place in the local coffee scene. “Few people leave the house without having coffee,’’ Williams says. “We’ve been lucky to find our spot in the world.’’ Recess marks its 10th anniversary with a holiday-themed party on Friday, Dec. 23, at the Westcott Community Center. There will be food, music from Mandate of Heaven, Difficult and other bands, art, 10-year anniversary posters and T-shirts and a photo booth. Tickets cost $15 and are available at both Recess locations. Recess Coffee in the Westcott Nation, 110 Harvard Place, is open Mondays through Fridays, 6 a.m. to midnight, and Saturdays and Sundays, 7 a.m. to midnight. The downtown Recess Coffee, 110 Montgomery St., in the Courier Building, is open Mondays through Fridays, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, visit recesscoffee.com.

ART

By Carl Mellor

Robert Knight’s 2015 photos “Jummah Prayer, Grand Mosque, Rome, Italy” (left) and “Sunday Mass, Chiesa San Michele, Orhodox Eritrean Tewahedo, Rome, Italy.”

CHURCH CHAT FOR ARTRAGE PICTURE SHOW

ow at the ArtRage Gallery, In God’s House: The Photographs of Robert Knight displays images of churches and mosques in Italy, England, Morocco, France and other nations. The show not only depicts sacred spaces but deals with a larger agenda. Knight is interested in the state of religion in current-day Europe, the relationship between a congregation and a house of worship, and the history of religious sites. To explore those topics, the photographer uses both straight-up images and photos with long exposures, creating shadows or ghost-like figures. In an image of an Orthodox Christian church in Rome, Italy, the congregants, all in white robes, appear blurred. They are immigrants from Eritrea, East Africa. Similarly, a photo of people kneeling for prayer in Rome’s Grand Mosque presents most of them in shadows. And the heads of several worshipers in All Saint’s Anglican Church, also in Rome, are blurred in Knight’s photo.

The technique emphasizes a notion of commonality: In spite of theological differences, each space is a house of worship. It also touches on the temporary nature of one service; people are worshiping in a location that’s 75 or 200 or even 1,600 years old. Beyond that, the “ghosts” suggest that religion is transcendent. Other details emerge from Knight’s images. The Rome church serving an Eritrean community is packed for Sunday Mass, while a service at San Nicola, a Roman Catholic Church in Carcera, Italy, is sparsely attended. At other churches or mosques, attendance is either robust or modest. Here Knight isn’t making sweeping conclusions. However, it’s true that churchgoing has declined drastically

in several European nations. In addition, the artist is delving into transitions, into spaces once occupied by one religious group and then another. In London, England, Roman Catholics founded the Church of St. Bartholomew the Great in 1123. Four centuries later, after King Henry VIII broke with the Vatican and established the Church of England, this became and remains a Protestant church. Moreover, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, a church named for St. Ignatius, opened in 1921. It was transformed into the Faith Mosque 50 years later. Knight’s discussion of such themes comes in the context of his images. He delivers striking visual details: the redand blue-striped rug in the Faith Mosque; a mosaic pattern in the chapel for Church of the Holy Martyrs, Marrakech, Morocco; a panoramic view of the Sutanahmet Mosque, in Istanbul, Turkey; a magnificent altar in Basilica San Clemente, a Roman Catholic space in Rome. And Knight brings a sophisticated approach to the exhibition. He acknowledges differences and similarities for the sacred spaces while not equating the Roman Catholic, Islamic and Protestant faiths.

He also focuses on religious toleration in a nuanced way. In our time, it’s easy to find examples of extreme intolerance: dozens of anti-Semitic incidents in France, fire bombing and other attacks on mosques in Sweden and Germany. Those acts are heinous, but they aren’t the entire story. The show celebrates religious diversity and the concept of tolerance. In God’s House has a lot on its plate, yet even in a relatively small exhibition of 16 images, Knight has no problem conveying complex ideas. Most of all, he’s created photos that engage viewers and let the larger exhibition flow. The display runs through Jan. 21 at ArtRage, 505 Hawley Ave. The gallery is open Wednesdays through Fridays, 2 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m. ArtRage has also scheduled two programs in conjunction with the show. On Jan. 10, 7 p.m., “Transforming Holy Spaces,” a panel discussion, will focus on 501 Park St., the longtime site for Holy Trinity Church and now the home of Jesus, Son of Mary Mosque. And on Jan. 17, 7 p.m., Knight will give an artist’s talk. For more information, call 218-5711. SNT

WINTER BLUES

BLOWOUT

More than 20 area musicians gather for the Great Salt City Blues Concert

By Russ Tarby n Monday, Dec. 26, 7:30 p.m., the Great Salt City Blues Concert takes place at Eastwood’s Palace Theatre. The all-star evening is being staged to honor the legacies of Syracuse blues kingpins Kelly James, Roosevelt Dean, Kyle Shirley and Dave Olson.

That proves we take our blues seriously here in Central New York. So seriously, in fact, that we’re willing to fight for it. Just ask The Kingsnakes, who fearlessly re-formed after a night of bloody fisticuffs during a disagreement about changing personnel. Or the Blues Connection staffers who brazenly battled each other over possession of complimentary discs that had been submitted to the magazine for review. Mannish boys will be boys. We take our blues so seriously here that we’ve established a Blues Archives Hall of Fame and the annual world-class New York State Blues Fest (scheduled July 7 and 8). The festival piggy-backed on the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, the biker-built bar and rib joint that booked the best touring blues bands to ensure Syracuse’s place on the nation’s blues map. Also preceding the festival’s 1992 birth, WAER-FM debuted its long-running Sunday Night Blues show, and record producer Greg Spencer established Blue Wave Records in 1985 at his Baldwinsville home. The Syracuse New Times took the blues so seriously that it blocked off South Franklin Street and invited the entire blues

12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

community to pose in front of the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que to create a fantastic photographic tribute in the mid-1990s. Modeled after Art Kane’s 1958 photo of 57 jazz musicians, “A Great Day in Harlem,” the massive crowd shot of several dozen blues musicians and roadies — photographed by Michael Davis, himself an accomplished Hammond B3 player — would be known as “A Blue Day in Syracuse.” We’re so serious about the blues in Syracuse that even our politicians jump on the bandwagon. Former state Sen. Nancy Larraine Hoffmann ran on a platform boldly promising “Better government, more rhythm & blues!” But the blues remain non-partisan. Former Democratic Mayor Matt Driscoll (who owned Rosie O’Grady’s bar, where the blues occasionally resonated) and Republican state Sen. John DeFrancisco (who blows a mean sax on “Night Train”) strongly supported the establishment of the Blues Festival. We’re so serious about the blues that even our fiercest literary lions have enthusiastically embraced it. Jay McInerney, who used to sling pint bottles at Westcott Cordials while studying creative writing at Syracuse University, titled his 1984 best-selling

novel after a Jimmy Reed song, “Bright Lights, Big City.” This year, Johnny Cash biographer Michael Streissguth, a professor at Le Moyne College, premiered his new documentary Nighthawks on the Blue Highway, chronicling the 40-year career of the influential Washington, D.C.-based blues band. We’re so serious about the blues in Syracuse that we bravely expand its boundaries. One of the most popular bands of the 1990s was Little Georgie and the Shuffling Hungarians, a multiracial rhythm’n’blues revue that reveled in the rumba of old New Orleans while bathed in the light of voodoo candles. Bassist-singer Isreal Hagan and his white-hot band, Stroke, brought some Philly soul and James Brown R&B to the table. The Gonstermachers played eerie, minor-key blues on cello and washtub. And our current blues kings, the four amigos of Los Blancos, livened up the old form with Latin rhythms, uptown

New Orleans fonk, rockin’ originals and zydeco accordion. And we’re serious enough about the blues to send a handful of homeboys up to the big time, guys like guitarist Joe Bonamassa (“Smokin’” no more!); saxophonist Paulie Cerra, who has played with Lucky Peterson, Bobby Bland, Little Milton and Jimmy Johnson; and Mexican-born guitar-slinger José Alvarez, who won a Grammy Award for his work with Cajun star Terrence Simien. Since Savoy Brown guitar god Kim Simmonds settled down in Oswego County a couple decades ago, that formerly British band has featured the talents of many of Syracuse’s top bluesmen, including Joe Whiting, Pete McMahon, Mark Nanni, Pat DeSalvo and Garnett Grimm. We’re so serious about the blues here that the Haudenosaunee have given it a decidedly native spin. In 2007, the Onondaga Nation quintet Corn-Bred took their 12-bar talents to the national level, winning the Native American Music syracusenewtimes.com | 12.21.16 - 12.27.16

Award (Nammy) for Best Blues/Jazz Group. Another band with reservation roots, the Fabulous Ripcords, have been nominated for several Nammys and had a song placed on the Crooked Arrows movie soundtrack. Syracuse is serious enough about the blues to swingingly salute local artists who nurtured and preserved the blues here before passing on. That’s the reasoning behind the Great Salt City Blues Concert at the Palace Theatre. Blue Wave founder and concert promoter Greg Spencer praised James, Dean, Shirley and Olsen for their contributions to the Syracuse blues community. “They’re no longer physically with us,” Spencer said, “but their spirit will always be felt.” Known far and wide as “The Voice of Syracuse,” bandleader Roosevelt Dean died April 4, 2009, at age 65. Over his 25-year career, Dean performed with his band, The Spellbinders, which released several CDs including the popular Blues Heaven, featuring the title song he wrote in tribute to the Syracuse blues scene. The year before cancer claimed him, Dean was inducted into the Syracuse Area Music Awards (Sammys) Hall of Fame. Singer-guitarist Kelly James, a.k.a. Dr. Blue, died Jan, 3, 2012, at age 76. A tough and towering man who had played professional football for the New York Jets, retired from the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department in 1991 following 25 years of service as a supervisor. A deputy by day and a bluesman by night, James fronted bands such as Triple Shot, Too Bad James, The Kingsnakes and Dr. Blue and the Night Crew, and later carved out a reasonably lucrative career as a solo act on the college circuit. His deep baritone voice, foot-stomping rhythm and complementary guitar work was showcased at Woodstock 1999, in a combo also featuring Central New York harpmeister Big Tom Townsley. Kyle Shirley, a founding member of the New York State Blues Festival and the Great Northeast Blues Festival, died unexpectedly on April 26, 2015, at age 62. Shirley had suffered a heart attack as he exited the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que after sitting in with former Nighthawks guitarist Phil Petroff. A fixture in Syracuse’s South Side neighborhood known as the Valley, Shirley often played blues harp at jam sessions but found his niche as a promoter, presenter and enthusiastic master of ceremonies. Shirley was a scrawny little guy with a big, bold blues obsession that took him to Chicago’s South Side, which he visited during a stint in the U.S. Navy. Years later he made pilgrimages to Memphis, Tenn., to attend the national W.C. Handy Awards (renamed the Blues Music Awards in 2006). Known to many as “The father of Syr-

acuse blues,” Shirley — who religiously rode a Harley-Davidson — was also known by his nickname, “Hawk.” Well-traveled blues drummer Dave Olson died Sept. 24, at age 61. Born in Seattle, Olson hooked up with guitarist-songwriter Robert Cray in 1975 in Eugene, Ore. Olson’s percussive talents propelled Cray’s ultra-modern compositions from 1978 to 1989, and the band won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album for the 1987 LP, Strong Persuader. In the late-1980s Olson relocated to Central New York, where he taught drums in Camillus and performed with Savoy Brown, Phil Petroff and, most recently, Dr. Killdean. Syracuse baritone saxophonist Rodney Zajac said Olson’s pleasing personality was as important as his rhythmic ingenuity. “David always had a positive vibe,” Zajac said. “Whenever I was near him, be it on stage, at a show or just passing hellos, I’d feel a real calming effect.” For the Great Salt City Blues Concert, promoter Greg Spencer insists, “It will not be a jam session. Think ‘The Last Waltz’ presented with rhyme and reason for your enjoyment.” Spencer, who staged a 30th anniversary Blue Wave Records concert at the Palace last December, noted that this year’s celebration was inspired by memories

12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

of the first Blue Wave compilation, Salt City Blues, Vol. 1. “I was thinking what a fertile period that was in Syracuse for the blues and what a great camaraderie there was among the musicians. The bands would play together, often at Copperfield’s or Nappi’s, and inspire each other to play their best because everybody wanted to be the best.” With its incredibly deep lineup, the blues show should be full of memorable moments. “I’m looking forward to hearing Matt and Morris Tarbell with Jerry Neely doing some Built for Comfort tunes; Mark Doyle and Joe Whiting together again doing the Backbone Slip thing; Tom Townsley, Todd Fitzsimmons and Morris Tarbell playing some Cold Shot. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Spencer said. “Add Pete McMahon and Terry Mulhauser doin’ The Kingsnakes shake; the fine Ron Spencer Band with my brother Ron, Dan (Cato) Eaton and Mark Gibson propelled by Ross Moe and Bob Purdy; the most excellent Carolyn Kelly doing a tribute to Roosevelt Dean; Central New York guitar legend Mark Hoffmann; Bernie Clarke and Skip Murphy blowin’ some harp; the Petroff brothers, Phil and Mike; and the Los Blancos fellows, Colin Aberdeen, who also does some excellent acoustic tunes, and Stephen T. Winston, a very busy bass man for the evening along with

Ross Moe on drums.” The four blues honorees, as well as the dozens of living, breathing musicians set to perform at the Palace, all took the blues seriously. “They made Syracuse one of the most important blues cities in the northeastern United States,” Spencer said. “Everyone involved in Monday’s show still lives and actively plays here. No out-of-towners, no imports, no special guests. The quality of the players who still choose to live and play here is still top-notch.” A few years ago Blues Festival volunteers wore T-shirts with the festival guitar-pick logo on the front and this slogan on the back: “Syracuse ain’t nothin’ but a blues town.” Seriously, ain’t it the truth? The Great Salt City Blues Concert takes place Monday, Dec. 26, 7:30 p.m., at the Palace Theatre, 2384 James St. Tickets are $20, available at brownpapertickets. com, and at the Sound Garden in Armory Square.

LOCAL HOP By Jessica Novak

Coryell proves he’s still got it on seven different tracks and Holz provides a backbone through changing tempos and feels. The album is packed with powerful players, with the songs “Rodrigo Reflections” and “One Breath Two Hearts” especially engaging and beautiful. However, others could benefit from stronger central themes or hooks to bring the listener back to a cohesive thought or emotion. It’s clear Holz has plenty to say with his frequent releases; it’s all about hearing the message. For more information, visit bobholzband.com.

The Easy Ramblers at the 2011 Sammy Awards. Michael Davis photo

The Easy Ramblers. Maybe Sometimes (independent). Consistency is key with this group. Each track on Maybe Sometimes delivers the front-porch bluegrass fans have come to expect from the Syracuse Area Music Award (Sammy)-winning band, which includes Mark Allnatt (banjo), Scott Ebner (background vocals, guitar, mandolin, accordion), Maureen Henesey (lead and background vocals), Dann Mather (background vocals, bass) and Eddie Zacholl (lead and background vocals, guitar). The album also features special guests Henry Jankiewicz (fiddle), Ron Keck (washboard, cajon) and Nick Piccininni (mandolin, fiddle). The songs blend, as many tempos fall into similar patterns, yet it’s the small details that make the tunes so charming. “Up One Side of the Mountain” shows off a soulful Henesey, who never misses a note as lead vocalist, while numbers that emphasize sweet fiddle and honking accordion bring different flavors to the table. The songs, most are written by Zacholl (exceptions are “Hop High My Lulu Girl” and “Country Pie”), keep true to the band’s rootsy base. As they sing about old-timey themes like grandma’s house, old barns and daddy ramblers, the genre is unmistakable. It’s all finger-pickin’, thick harmonies and bouncing bass on this disc. “I Miss That Old Barn” has a melancholy feel, like a bluegrass version of “By My Side” from Godspell, with Zacholl and Henesey singing, “Finding ways

to get it together/ Times are tough, but they’re gettin’ better/ Like Fort Steele and red hot embers/ I walk these fields tryin’ to remember/ Long days, nights are longer/ What don’t kill you will make you stronger.” While much of the album is upbeat and light, this thoughtful closing track gives the listener something to chew on until the next spin through. Engineered by Keck and recorded, edited, mixed and mastered at SubCat Studios, the Easy Ramblers’ Maybe Sometimes CD offers easy listening for any ears. For more information, visit facebook.com/theeasyramblers. Bob Holz. Visions & Friends (MVDaudio). This local jazz drummer released his latest effort at Funk ’N Waffles Downtown on Dec. 1, as Holz lured a stacked band with names like Ralphe Armstrong (Frank Zappa, Aretha Franklin) and Chet Catallo (Spyro Gyra) to perform with him on the stage. The disc is heavy on star power, too, with major players including trumpeter Randy Brecker and guitarist Larry Coryell gracing the credits, much like Holz’s previous release A Vision Forward. The CD’s smooth fusion offers excellent instrumentalists showcasing their chops at every turn. The bass solo at the end of “One Breath Two Hearts” is a grabber and Billy Steinway’s keyboards on “Five Times the Winner” are a flashback to Return to Forever. Brecker’s trumpet blazes a path through “Flat Out” and “For the One,”

Jon Peterson. Not Paying Attention (independent). Jon Peterson is a songwriter through and through, strumming guitar and singing thoughtful lyrics. But his clever use of texture, instrumentation and style makes his album even more exciting. The impressive list of musicians on the disc includes Jacob Peterson on cello, saxophonist Sam Meyer, Donna Dennihy on vocals, drummer Christopher Ramsden, Jimmy Drancsak on fiddle and members of his band, Edgy Folk. But the long list doesn’t mean that Peterson slacks: He contributes vocal, guitars, mandolin, dobro, banjitar, bass and percussion, as well as writing all of the songs. Peterson even engineered, produced, mixed and mastered the album, a hefty feat. “Stronger” is beautifully melancholy, “Be Around” is an instant favorite with its memorable guitar lines shaping the tune and “Sleeping in the Sand” is a lilting lullaby featuring singing guitar and rich fiddle. And check out the lyrics for “Chives (Don’t You Wait)” are more than light hearted: “Oh, I’m liking the vibe/ Let’s put some chives on our potatoes/ Don’t you wait until tomorrow.” The juxtaposition of striking, insightful songs alongside tunes celebrating starch keeps the album even more engaging. The final track, “I Won’t Forget” was written by Peterson for the Acoustic Guitar Project, an initiative that sees an acoustic guitar pass through the hands of all kinds of acoustic songwriters in Central New York. They write a song using the guitar, sign it and pass it along, eventually sharing the songs together. According to Peterson’s composition, “You are the reason I write love songs/ I don’t write songs of regret/ I write songs that remind me of you/ You are the one I won’t forget.” The sparseness of the tune amplifies the words, making for a fitting end to an album that hits a wide range of emotions and thoughts.

By Christopher Malone and it’s been a tough, uphill battle for him. Whitaker hasn’t been able to work, so it’s been a problem providing for his family and paying the medical bills. I know there are a lot of accidents that happen every day, but this is a really great person I know personally. If there was anything I could do to help them, I was going to try. I know it’s a tough night, falling between Christmas and New Year’s, but I hope people can make it out. It’s for a great cause for a wonderful person. We can use all the help they can get. Do you perform at other benefits? I do and have before. There are big causes where groups of comedians get together. I’ve worked with this organization called Everyday Heroes. They take care of sick children with cancer for the most part. Los Angeles has a great children’s cancer hospital. I’ve performed with St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, too. I’ve played in celebrity golf tournaments and performed standup. If you haven’t been down to St. Jude’s in Memphis, it’s really a magical place. God forbid if you ever come across a situation where your child gets sick, that is a place where you’d want to be. Not only do they take care of your child, they take care of you and your family.

STEVE RANNAZZISI: A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN

ctor, writer and comedian Steve Rannazzisi came onto the scene in the early 2000s, specifically on the MTV prank show Punk’d. Then came appearances in the films For Your Consideration and Paul Blart: Mall Cop, the acclaimed web series Daddy Knows Best and his notable role as Kevin on FX’s The League. The Smithtown, N.Y., native and SUNY Oneonta graduate will be featured in a one-night special event at Funny Bone Comedy Club at Destiny USA on Tuesday, Dec. 27, 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $20. The show is a partial benefit for Devan Whitaker, a Central New Yorker and family friend of the comedian, to help defray the costs of hospital bills following a motorcycle accident. During a telephone chat with the lively Rannazzisi, the Los Angeles resident, husband and father of two talked about his love for volunteer work, writing, standup comedy and upcoming projects. Do you miss the snow at all? Yeah, I heard you guys are getting beat up. I know Buffalo is getting hit badly this weekend, too. I was in Chicago last weekend, and they got about 10 inches of snow. It’s not fun. I’m in Los Angeles, and we moved out here in

12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

2001. I still have a place in New York, and we go out there fairly often, for the holidays and a little time over the summer. How often do you tour? I usually go out two weekends a month. I call them “tours,” but I break them off into seasons, fall-winter, and take a little more time off in the spring and summer. It’s not a string or a two-month run. I’ll do pop-in 15-minute spots when I’m in town, but when I go out on the weekends I’ll perform four or five hour-long shows. Tell me about the Funny Bone benefit show. It’s actually for a family friend. My sister is married to this wonderful man, who is from upstate and around the Syracuse area. His best friend (Whitaker) was riding his motorcycle into work one morning, and he was accidentally hit by an elderly man who didn’t see him coming. He has severe brain trauma,

You also have a new movie Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars coming out. It’s an independent movie shot in Louisiana this past September. It’s essentially a live-action The Incredibles, a family movie and silly superhero spoof. You’re not going to learn anything too crazy from it. A guy who had superpowers and hasn’t used them in a while feels he doesn’t need them anymore. Then, my archenemy comes to destroy the planet. My character then has to defend himself and his family and try to get his superpowers back. I had a blast doing it. I’ve never done an action movie before: stunt and fight sequences, and I got to fly in the movie. It’s silly, but I’m looking forward to when it comes out. I’m also writing a half-hour sitcom for Comedy Central and recently filmed an episode for Curb Your Enthusiasm. Is improvisational comedy part of your background? When I started studying standup and moved to Los Angeles, I wanted to perform improv as well. I took classes at The Groundlings up into the writing labs, which is where I got my improv and sketch background.

For The League we worked off an outline and episode structure, but we improvised the lines. Getting to work with those guys, some of the best improvisers in the world, that was like a seven-year master class. Along with having done Curb Your Enthusiasm and the Christopher Guest movie For Your Consideration, as an improviser, it doesn’t get much better than that. For Your Consideration came out about 10 years ago. They shot the whole movie, screened it and then wanted to have a cold opening. Guest then wrote a scene before the credits even came out, where Catherine O’Hara’s character gets stopped at the studio gate. She’s a big star and shouldn’t be stopped at the gate, but I’m the guy who stops her. Eugene Levy, O’Hara and Guest on set: I got to eat lunch and spend an hour with them. It was a memorable experience. What did you study at SUNY Oneonta? Were you involved in the performing arts? Oh yeah? Red Dragons! I did participate in the Mask and Hammer Theatre Club, but I did get my degree in communications. What helped push you into the comedy and writing scene? At school I got to perform a lot. I was in all the plays, and I’d perform show-toshow. I moved to New York City, and as an actor you don’t get that opportunity. I had always been interested in standup, and I’d written some jokes. I tried an open mike night, which was terrifying, but I enjoyed going up on stage and being myself instead of a character. When I moved out to Los Angeles, I got a job at the Comedy Store. I was there every night performing or working, and the experience was invaluable. Did you find it easier to write based from experience? I’m an observational guy. I like telling stories, and I’ll weave jokes into them and go on tangents. They’re personal to me, so I don’t have to worry about whether or not someone told the same type of joke. I’m usually the butt of my jokes. Self-loathing is a key element. Is performing in your blood? No. My parents owned a limousine service. Being in customer service helped me learn how to talk to people. Both of my parents have big personalities. My mom’s a very funny lady, and my dad is a big talker. My sister is a special education teacher, and my brother is a Roman

Catholic priest, a very good one. And I tell dick jokes to strangers at night. We have, in our own way, our own form of performing. What makes a good priest? He’s a great communicator, empathetic and not judgmental. Growing up, I went to Catholic school, and there weren’t too many people who really made the effort to understand what others are going through. My brother makes an effort and has a good heart. Is religion still a big part of your life? Not as big as my brother. I’ve kind of fallen off the wagon a little bit. I believe in God and still have a faith, but it’s not as laid out as the Roman Catholic faith is. Your Daddy Knows Best web series is always fun to revisit. Do you have any online projects or podcasts in the works? We’re trying to turn Daddy Knows Best into a television series. That character can be really fun in that world. In the new year, I’ll be starting a new podcast called Hear Me This Book with Steve Rannazzisi. I haven’t read a bunch of books I should have read. Most people have that book where they say to others, “I can’t believe you haven’t read this” or “How did you make it this far in life without reading this book?” On the podcast, the guest will tell me about that book, and we’ll use it as a jumping-off point for a conversation. Comedians Bill Burr and John Caparulo have expressed their intent in creating an animated series. Why does this medium attract you? Bill is an executive producer of his own show, and he spends a lot of time in the writing room. It’s time consuming. Even if you have a live action show, you have the writers’ room and then you have to film the whole thing. You can have huge guest stars on animated shows, because you’re only going to borrow them for, like, an hour. There is much more ability to ask people to participate. They don’t have to get dressed up but sit in a box and say the lines into a microphone. The animators do most of the work. You can also put animated characters in situations, where I want the character to rent a boat for the Fourth of July and blow it up with fireworks. Then the rest of the episode turns into Open Water, where the characters are trying to survive while floating on a keg. I’d never be able to film that in real life. SNT

BOOKS

By James MacKillop

BEHIND THE SCENES AT SALT CITY CENTER

The splendid edifice at 601 S. Crouse Ave., now known as the upscale Hotel Skyler, gives little hint of its storied history. From 1916 until the early 1970s it was the home of Temple Adath Yeshurun, now decamped to Kimber Road, De Witt. For the 30-plus years between the temple and 2004, however, the imposing columns of architect Gordon Almond Wright’s Greco-Roman façade enclosed a scrappy, short-on-funds artistic company known grandly as the Salt City Center for the Performing Arts, or, more familiarly, Salt City Playhouse. Drawing on interviews with key players, Russell Fox’s new book, The Salt City Playhouse: An Itinerance, 1978-1981 (Bloomington, Ind.: iUniverse, 2015. 316 pages; softcover. ISBN: 978-1-49177965), gives extensive details on limited aspects of the enterprise and settles more than a few scores. His tone is anything but nostalgic. Fox, now a resident of Amherst, was a paid employee of Salt City from 1978 to 1981. His memoir, parts of which have been circulating online for many years, focuses on those pivotal years. It was when the company launched its most successful and representative production, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar, and company music director Pat Lotito premiered Yes!, the first of her memorable original shows. The book could not be called a history in any sense because the author is careless with names 12.21.16 - 12.27.16 | syracusenewtimes.com

and unreliable on dates, appearing never to have researched anything beyond his memory or informants’ shaky recollections. Most of the greater part of the Salt City story, such as huge hits like La Cage aux Folles or Me and My Girl, or artistic triumphs like Bill Molesky’s Sly Fox, came later and are never mentioned. The book, which lacks a table of contents or an index, begins with the narrative technique of Citizen Kane, by introducing a character and then relating events from his or her perspective. Among the most important of these is lightboard operator Robert (“Studly”) Studdiford, who is portrayed favorably and to whom the book is dedicated. In such passages everything is seen from the point of view of the lightboard, with rapt attention to technical terms like “ellipsoidals” and “fresnels.” But we miss most human details. The company enjoyed a hit with the musical Fiorello but we never learn the name of the lead. Sometime in 1978 Salt City Center opened an all-black production of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, a landmark if not an artistic success. We never learn the names of the director or any of the cast. Most of the dozens of people associated with Salt City are similarly absent. The late Christine Lightcap is cited three times. Frank Fiumano, Bob Brown (a baritone described as an “operatic tenor”) and Robert “Tank” Steingraber are barely allowed walk-ons. Instead, Fox lavishes most attention on staff mem-

bers, like black-clad ticket-taker Ruth Cope, and two forgotten players, Bill Brown and Cindy Volzing. Brown, the original Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, was a volatile and explosive persona offstage, and later asserted the African portion of his heritage by changing his name to Mundaka Lee. Volzing sang the role of Mary Magdalene twice, but we closely follow her auditions for other roles, often finding herself in the chorus. Fox suffers from a disconcerting penchant for commenting on the firmness of Volzing’s breasts. She committed suicide in 1986. The dominant figure in Fox’s book is, of course, Joseph N. (“Joe”) Lotito, the company founder, although we rarely see him in close-up. Through the early pages of the book the author’s approach is to bury a three- or four-line assault of Lotito’s behavior and personality failings while talking about something unrelated, such as Ruth Cope’s Quaker values. Fox sneers at Lotito’s working-class, North Side origins and his reliance on paisan pals, and what he feels are failures in taste, like serving cheapo Andre Champagne in plastic flutes. Counterproductive to what are clearly the author’s intentions, Lotito becomes more formidable, like the Giant in the Jack and the Beanstalk story. Fox, in a gesture to be fair and balanced, allows Lotito a few good roles: Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof, Willy Loman from Death of a Salesman, and Sir Thomas More in A Man for All Seasons. Yet he has no comprehension of what a profound personal sacrifice the Lotitos made to keep the place running in the teeth of constant adversity. Neither can Fox give Salt City any credit for being a first leg up for countless young people, many from disadvantaged homes. Leaving aside Salt City veteran and Tony winner Steve Kazee, five members of the original cast of the blockbuster Phantom of the Opera (1987) proudly cited Salt City in their credits. Fox never saw them. The Syracuse New Times comes off rather well in Fox’s account. He accurately retells the story of when the paper’s then-reviewer, the acerbic and feared David Feldman, was denied complimentary admission. The paper bought tickets for him. The Salt City Playhouse is available from Amazon.com. SNT

I encourage you to be alert for new possibilities that might be both useful for your career and invigorating for your social life. The words “work” and “fun” will belong together! To achieve the best results, formulate a clear vision of the community and support system you want.
