GUEST COLUMN

The stars come to Astoria and shine As I sat in the front

row watching Judy Collins and then Don McLean entertain a sold-out Liberty Theater Saturday, I felt like pinching myself.

We really are a top-notch cultural place on the map.

Sure, for the really, really big glittery stage productions featuring Elton John, Billy Joel and Cher, you have to go to Portland. But thanks to the efforts of local impressarios, some pretty awesome names do also come here.

This space isn’t big enough for my review of the show, but if you are interestHG \RX FDQ ¿QG LW DW ZZZ dailyastorian.com Saturday’s outstanding entertainment didn’t happen by accident. Liberty Executive Director Rosemary Baker-Monaghan and her hardworking board have been planning it – as part of a series – for some time.

And let’s have a word for the sponsors. My ticket was $60. I suspect that if the %DQN RI WKH 3DFL¿F &DQQHU\ Pier Hotel and Spa, Columbia River Coffee Roasters, Fulio’s Restaurant and The Shea Family Foundation hadn’t stepped up, it would have been twice that or more.

and sing 75-minute sets without appearing taxed. (Collins was a piano prodigy, so it was pleasing that she performed one song on the Liberty’s Steinway).

And they have survived.

Judy Collins’ autobiography, “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes,� describes her struggles in wrenching detail. It is a tough read. Don McLean had a poignant moment during the show when he expressed relief that he had survived when so many musical talents from the 1960s and 1970s had died well before their time. “I’m just glad I have lived long enough for my songs to become meaningful to people, and to know my children growing up,� he said.

It was what I call an “ouch� moment.

Tom Trudell plays jazz piano without sheet music.

Story by DAVID CAMPICHE CLOSE TO HOME

7ČąÉ? MĘ?\Ę?XÉĄ VĘ?ĘŚQÉ? Ôˇ

Tom Trudell

H

He meanders into the country inn, casually, calmly, consciously. He is the master of his universe. His universe: music, teaching kids – and that includes his own, his precocious 11-year son, Tristan. Every Friday night he brings pleasure into these old walls. On Saturday he is a regular at the Bridgewater Bistro, there, in Astoria, the river city. In either venue the piano waits; waits like an old friend. On either night, he transforms a wood box with strings into an instrument of sheer beauty, an outreach program for those hungry for the love of music.

Rumor has it that Tom Trudell was a prodigy. It is whispered that he rebelled against the pressure of the spot light. Trudell doesn’t say much on the subject. He just reiterates that music should remain fun. That simple fact – that such fun – revitalizes the history teacher from Ilwaco High School and is as obvious as his level of talent, which appears to most of us to be in the clouds.

Trudell is relatively tall at 6 feet and 3 inches, with a handsome lopsided smile DQG ORQJ VPRRWK ÂżQgers. His demeanor is that of a gentle man.

He is articulate. The kids – his students – respect the lanky teacher. They claim that he doesn’t seem to raise his voice often; he doesn’t have to. In that lies respect.

He doesn’t pad grades either. Students earn them, just as he has earned his talent with hard work. No matter how bright – no matter how talented, everyone who plays piano well puts in the time. No, that’s not a direct Trudell

quote. That’s paraphrasing Michelangelo, who once said, “If you know how much work went into it, you wouldn’t call it genius.� The same Michelangelo who began carving the Pieta at age 18. Tom agrees with the Renaissance value system.

Understand, when it comes to musical technique, this writer is nearly as dumb as a JROG¿VK 1R LOO LQWHQW KHUH ,QGHHG , DP WRQH deaf. I hear mostly high sounds, and that is on a quiet day. But when Trudell plays, I listen; listen as intently as possible, even if I’m serving tables and should be paying full attention to the diners. But when the man ambles in, without notes or sheet music, and, for the next three hours plays an extraordinary repertoire, then, there, such talent gets my full attention.

That’s where my intrigue with brain-drivenhands begins.

When Trudell talks about keys, mood and intervals, I’m fairly lost. Playing one of his own jazz pieces the other night, I watched KLV KDQGV DQG ÂżQJHUV drop to the left side of the piano. “This is a blues mood,â€? he stated. “Kind of gloomy, right?â€? Just then the right hand, acting as if it had an independent mission, danced quickly to the right side of the keyboard and began to brighten up the scene. â€?Counter balance,â€? he said, and I thought in my naĂŻve way of the yin and yang, of the pull of opposites, hot and cold, fast and slow, and hard and soft.

Tom wasn’t watching anything. He may as well have had his eyes closed. He stopped reading music at 16. “Those black marks

screwed me up. I was watching those rather than listening to the spirit of the music.� “How?� I asked, “How are you remembering all of that music?� “Something kicks it off,� Trudell replied. “Sound and rhythm leads to more sound and more rhythm.� Sure, I thought, if you’re brilliant and a savant to boot. Well, how could I know?

But I could marvel, just like the next bloke.

We are so lucky, here, in our creative neck of the woods, here in river city and along our gorgeous ocean beaches. Almost DQ\ QLJKW ZH FDQ ¿QG 7UXGHOO RU 'DYH 'UXry, Jennifer Goodenberger, the Brownsmead Flats, George Coleman, Brian O’Connor and so many more, and so many more. We have KMUN 91.9 FM to introduce new and old artists, and a dozen public houses that support DW QR VPDOO H[SHQVH WKHVH ¿QH PXVLFLDQV So what I have is this tall, articulate friend

who ambles into the inn most Fridays, takes his glass of water – “I have to stay focused.� – and then plays his heart out for the single joy of joyous sound, and for his inner being.

We need to support these local talents, for they bring out the best of who we are, yes, us, some of the best and most supportive people on the planet. That’s us, denizens from the 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW WKDW FRUQHU RI WKH 3DFL¿F Ocean and the Columbia River we call home.

All we have to do is listen with hearts and spirits ... even if you are tone- deaf.

You can hear Tom Trudell play jazz piano at the Shelburne Inn Restaurant and Pub, 4415 Pacific Way, Seaview, Wash., Fridays, and at Bridgewater Bistro, 20 Basin St., Astoria, several Saturdays and Sundays during the month; for an up-to-date schedule, be sure to look at the current Stepping Out calendar on Page 5.

SEASIDE — Every month, galleries and businesses in Seaside welcome locals and visitors to Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk.

The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 1, with art on display and for purchase, food and live music. Some venues open earlier or later, so you can make a day of it. The number of locations may be greater or smaller depending on the weather, the season, and/or the artists booked for the event. Most of the galleries are located in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. There may be more participants than the ones included in this listing.

T.Anjuli Salon and Gallery 5 N. Holladay Drive • 503-717-0434 T.Anjuli will feature new work by gallery artists Lisa Scigliano and Bill Lutz. Selected work will also be available as prints. Refreshments will be served.

SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway • 503-738-7788 Come check out the pique assiette mosaic art of SunRose Gallery, which will be open until at least 6 p.m.

Fairweather House and Garden 612 Broadway • 503-738-8899 Fairweather House and Garden celebrates the many ways in which artists interact with the natural world and features art with hidden meanings. Refreshments will be available.

Hidden meanings and superb craftsmanship are evident in Christine Trexel’s handmade books and boxes.

“I have always liked the idea of hiding things in handmade paper, books and boxes,” she says. “The elements of surprise and of pleasure at discovering the hidden drawer or the image behind the window or the words incorporated into the structure motivate me to stretch my boundaries. Besides holding the secrets that I have created, the objects also act as receptacles to hide other things: treasures, ideas, dreams.”

Intriguing, too, is the art by West Coast artist Lee Munsell, who writes that he is answering his call to paint what is discovered, oftentimes, “in a granite out crop, that is constantly pounded by strong ocean swells. On days when you hear the rocks crumble with each

Discover Mystery Madness Two-day author, artist events on tap ASTORIA — Two mystery writers and an artist will launch two days of Mystery Madness at three free public events Thursday and Friday, March 6 and 7.

The band accomplished its goal,and more with more than 55,000 views.

Come check out the band’s blend of acoustic and electric guitars, cello, bass and drums at 8 p.m. Sunday, March 2.

The Weather Machine began in earnest when singer-songwriter Slater Smith and guitarist Colin Robson met at DQ RSHQ PLF LQ 3DFL¿F &LW\ LQ March of 2012. The two decid-

ed to team up to record Smith’s songs at Robson’s then-brandnew studio, Kiwanda Sound Recordings. The two brought in bassist Jack Martin, cellist Matthew Cartimill, and drummer Tanner Smith (Slater’s brother) to bring body to the record. Since the album’s release, Corey Kintzi joined the roster as a second drummer, and the band began to develop an even more collaborative approach.

The Weather Machine is currently writing its second album and plans to release the sophomore full-length venture in the near future.

The art critic William Havlicek wrote of Munsell: “He may approach a silent mountain terrain where clouds and light are as much the subjects of the work as are the peaks and strong pines ...

elebrating its eighth year, the annual international juried show “Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century� features the works of 45 artists from 17 states as well as Canada and Germany. The exhibited works, on display at Clatsop Community College’s Art Center Gallery, 1799 Lexington Ave., until March 20, were culled from a list of nearly 800 submissions

Froelick owns the Froelick Gallery in Portland, which he opened in 1995. “I intentionally chose a broad range of media and techniques to present the many profound ways to interpret the human form,� says Froelick of selecting the works to appear in “Au Naturel.�“The show includes introspective self-portraits, realism, psychologically expressive, social observation, spiritually reflective, sexy, sensual, and a bold stripper. “The human form is fascinating,� he continues. “I was honored to have the opportunity to select artists that I think are making great work with what “The Lamp,� an oil painting on panel is often considered a very chal- by Rachel Foster, of Olsburg, Kan. lenging subject.� “I think Charles did a phenomenal job selecting the work and putting together a show that’s cohesive,� says Shauck. “I think Charles commands a lot of respect.

Going into my own modeling session, I arrived with a stipulation, albeit one I failed to mention beforehand: I wasn’t interested in seeing any of the drawings from my session. I feared being stuck with dreadful results.

serves up a classic, American breakfast

Has anyone else ever noticed that when discussing Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, the town with the most cache seems to be, well, Long Beach? Sure it hosts the Washington State International Kite Festival, there’s the go-karts, and also one of those requisite “crazy hat� stores that all tourist towns seem to have (which has often puzzled me: “Let’s take a vacation, honey. But before we do, let’s make sure we can buy crazy hats while we’re there�).

Long Beach is wonderful for a variety of reasons, but there are also lots of equally appealing tiny towns sprinkled nearby, each with their own charm. Chinook has some stately, old homes, Ilwaco has a bustling port, Oysterville is quaint and antique-feeling, and Ocean Park is home to the annual Rod Run To The End Of The World, featuring a bevy of classic cars.

The Berry Patch in Ocean Park seems to be such a place, and when I visited on a recent Sunday morning, I was surprised to see it bursting at the seams with people. Colorful posters from the aforementioned car show adorn the walls inside the tiny cafĂŠ, the decor of which seems to be a mix of 1950s Americana (complete with Coke advertisements and a juke box) and beachy kitsch (weathered white tables, and maybe a little bit of sand here and there).

Though I am not in the position of knowing whether the strawberry compote was fresh or not, it was very syrupy and overly sweet.

Joel Dierickx, SHS art teacher, and various art students created portraits of 1950s icons that are part of the set design.
