Seattle songstresses bring dreamy music to Sou’Wester
Peninsula quilters display hard work at quilting show
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
ILWACO, Wash. — The Peninsula Quilt Guild will present the 21st annual Quilting at the Beach quilt show Friday to Sunday, March 18 to 20. Over 100 quilts will be on display in three galleries at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, located at 115 Lake St. The guild has grown to nearly 80 members from Washington and Oregon. The quilts displayed will be as varied as the quilters themselves. Attendees will see quilts in many styles, from scrappy and embroidered to appliquÊ and art, and there will be items quilted by hand, home machine and long arm machine. Quilts may be adorned with thread, buttons, rick-rack and even drift wood. The quilt show is a tribute to the enthusiasm that bubbles up when quilt people meet. Quilting at the Beach is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday

and Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. There will be daily demonstrations, and attendees can meet the quilters and vote for their favorite quilts and challenge blocks. Admission is free. Each year, members participate in the construction of a prize quilt. This year’s quilt, “Indian Summer,� features a feathered star as a center medallion. Raffle tickets are $1 each, and the drawing will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets sold for the prize quilt generate about $3,000. The money is donated to many charitable organizations on the Long Beach Peninsula. The guild participates in several charitable projects. Quilts are donated to OHSU hospice, the Rotary Club, and teddy bears with scrappy quilts are donated to children at Ocean Beach Hospital and the emer-

gency room at Columbia Memorial Hospital. The Challenge Blocks displayed at Quilting at the Beach are made by guild members from fabric purchased from Boardwalk Quilts. Each member designs and makes a 12.5inch quilt block that is judged. The winning block receives an award. After the show, these
blocks are made into a quilt and donated to the Ocean Beach Education Foundation. The guild meets at the Peninsula Church Center at 5000 N. Place in Seaview. Anyone interested in membership is welcome to join; talk to any of the hosts at the show or come to the church at 1 p.m. the second Monday of any month.
SEAVIEW, Wash. — The Sou’Wester Lodge will host two ethereal Seattle singers for a performance at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 23: Briana Marela and Lilac. Briana Marela is known for her dreamy ambient pop music and forceful lyrics, which create a balance of the abstract and intimate. Throughout her second album, “All Around Us,� traditional song structure gives way to plainspoken declarations that pull back the record’s shroud. Her first single,�Surrender,� is musically delicate at first, with flickering blips and chords that float into earshot like fireflies. “Take Care of Me� is the album’s brightest and most immediate song, a buoyant celebration
of friendship with a skittering beat and a warm, sweet melody. The title track “All Around Us� is stark but inspiring, built on the memory of a family member who passed away and the sadness of not being able to say “goodbye� or “I love you� one last time. Lilac, aka Madeline Franks, is a dreamy electronic solo musician. Born in the Midwest, she grew up playing piano and singing before adding electronic instruments to her repetoire as a young adult. Her first solo EP, “Dream Journal,� was released in early 2015, and she is currently working on a second album. The Sou’Wester Lodge is located at 3728 J Place. For more information, call 360642-2542.

LONG BEACH, Wash. — Although their December concert was canceled, the Peninsula Arts Center has rescheduled one of its favorite singer-songwriter duos — Naomi Hooley and Rob Stroup — for a 7 p.m. concert Saturday, March 19. When Hooley moved 3,000 miles from a small town in Alaska, the chances of meeting Rob Stroup, from a small town in Oregon, were pretty slim. But it happened. From the moment they met it was clear they were destined to combine their musical talents. Stroup is the perfect producer, co-writer and band mate for Hooley’s melodic, energetic and thoughtful folk-pop songs. A prolific songwriter with a vocal signature, Hooley’s voice has been called “cool and powerful” and her songwriting “masterful.” She combines the melodic sensibilities of the great folk writers of the ’70s like Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor with vocal abilities of Adele or Annie Lennox. Stroup’s musical background brings a whole other set of sounds and inÀuences. A founding member of Port-
land’s roots-rock combo The Baseboard Heaters, Stroup draws on ’60s rock and classic country inÀuences and is also inÀuenced by the Oklahoma sound of JJ Cale and the bluesy sides of Bob Dylan. Together they cover a lot of ground and meld together in a cohesive act. Their newest album, “Wild Places,” was released in October. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. N. Admission is $12 at the door, online through Brown Paper Tickets, or call 360-

A REINVENTION John Orr recently left his Astoria law practice to pursue recycling work and music
I
It seems unlikely that an attorney would give up a successful practice of 25 years for a life of music and recycling. But that’s just what John Orr did. Yes, you’ll occasionally see his name in the paper as a Municipal Court Judge, but not often. You’re more likely to see his face in the paper as a member of the global music group Acústica or of his new jazz quartet. Orr explains that he became interested in the law, “because of one of my boyhood heroes, Robert F. Kennedy.” Orr once saw Kennedy when he came to Orr’s hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan. “I was enamored of his idealism and personal charisma,” Orr says. “His assassination was my introduction to mortality.” Orr decided to either go into politics or to become a legal crusader. “It didn’t quite work out that way,” he says. He became a lawyer, but not a crusader: a small town lawyer in private practice in family law and criminal defense. Still, the idealism never left Orr, nor did his love of music, which predated his interest in the law. As a youth, he says, “I had competing parts of myself. I had to please my mother by establishing that I had middle class respectability, but I had a bohemian side, too.” It was this bohemian side that brought Orr from Kalamazoo to Oregon via Arizona and California. “I had wanderlust in my youth,” Orr recounts. “I traveled in search of musical experience, and I fell in love with the wide American West.” Along the way, Orr took college courses in jazz and played in various groups, including jazz bands and a country rock and Western swing band. Eventually he quit music as he concentrated on the law. It’s not uncommon, in midlife, to look

back on the decisions one has made, and to wonder what might have been. What is unusual is returning to that youthful idealism and use it as a basis to reinvent one’s life. John Orr closed his legal practice, returned to music, and took a job with Trails End Recovery, a material recovery and recycling facility in Warrenton. “I like the transition from law to recycling,” Orr says. “It was hard on my heart to do that kind of work so long, and recycling is so much less adversarial. It comports with what I thought I’d be doing when I had a law degree. Environmental law would have been more congruent with what I wanted to do with my life.” Now he has a lot more time for playing music, too, and for songwriting, and he has written music for Acústica. He plays guitar, pedal steel guitar, Dobro and Àute. “I’ve dabbled with alto sax and harmonica,” he adds. In addition to playing with Acústica, Orr is on the board of the Astoria Music Festival and is forming a jazz quartet, which he jokingly calls the “Trio Quartet.” Now that they’ve found a bass player, though, the group is an actual quartet and may soon be playing local gigs. The quartet plays the bop and cool jazz of the 1950s and ’60s, “and it is forcing me to raise my game,” Orr says. “Jazz is in¿nitely more intellectually and aesthetically challenging. You can’t just do it, you have to express with homage to the original melody and rhythm.” Orr’s interests go beyond music and recycling. His bookshelves are lined with thick tomes that reÀect his interest in history (he’s currently working on a book about World War II and original ¿ne art hangs on the walls. His major interest, though, is his ¿ancp, Teresa Brownlie, who has resolutely supported Orr as he reinvents his life. John Orr is a contented man, with no signs of a midlife crisis. “I’m as happy as I’ve ever been,” he says, “due in no small part to Teresa. My happiness is equal parts being done with the law and having found Teresa.”
Teresa Brownlie has supported her fiance, John Orr, as he made a career change from being an attorney to working in recycling.
John Orr plays guitar, pedal steel guitar, Dobro and flute, and he has dabbled in alto sax and harmonica.

WHAT’S POURING Seventh annual festival highlights artisan beers March 18 and 19 in Seaside

Seaside High School culinary arts students will take to the kitchen March 18 to prepare a five-course meal for the Oregon Coast Brewer’s Dinner, the kick-off event for the annual two-day Pouring at the Coast event at Seaside Civic and Convention Center.
Story by KATHERINE LACAZE
It’s that time of year again when a handSiFNed OineXS of 3aFi¿F 1orthwest Fraft Erews intertwines with the culinary offerings of local high schoolers during the Oregon Coast Brewer’s Dinner, the kick-off event for the seventh annual 3ouring at the Coast event, Sresented Ey the 6easide ChamEer of Commerce and 6easide Brewing Company. The dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 18 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center. Under the direction of instructor and Astoria chef Chris Holen, eight students from Seaside High School’s culinary arts program will prepare a ¿ve-course meal including Oregon pink shrimp, arugula pesto and roasted Eeets carrot soup, cured ling cod, radish sprouts and fresh horseradish seared chicken Ereast, citrus rice pilaf and roasted mushrooms Eeef shoulder tender, kale, trufÀe oil and cauliÀower and chocolate mousse, 1orthwest Eerry crumEle and sweet goat cheese. The courses will Ee paired with ¿ve craft Eeers from the 1orthwest, still in the selection process. Reservations for the Brewer’s Dinner, which are required, are $65 per person or taEles of 10 for $800. Half of the net proceeds from the dinner will go to Eene¿t the Seaside High School Culinary Program. Pouring at the Coast continues Saturday, March 1 , from 3 to 8 p.m. with a craft Eeer festival featuring aEout 0 craft Ereweries, primarily from Oregon, Washington and California. -immy *rif¿n, owner of Seaside
Brewing Company, makes the annual selection of featured craft Eeers for the festival. The Sons of Aloha and The TaElerockers, a traditional Chicago Elues-style Eand, will Ee performing live. Tickets for the festival are $10, which includes a Eeer glass and three tasting tickets, or $20, which includes a glass and 10 tasting tickets. Over the years, the event has featured more than 60 types of craft Eeers, representing nearly 30 Ereweries in the region.
High school participation
This is the second year Seaside High School’s culinary arts students will participate in Pouring at the Coast. The students work with Holen and his staff to create a ¿ve-course menu. The day of the event, the group will head to the convention center to prepare the food in the facility’s kitchen. While Holen is working with eight instead of 19 students this year, he doesn’t foresee that affecting the group’s productivity or aEility to serve the food in an ef¿cient manner. ³They’ll Must Ee Eusier all day than they were last year, he said. “It’s totally attainaEle,´ He plans to divide the students into teams to oversee various courses, and then they will work together on plating, “so we can put out plates twice as fast,´ Holen said. After all, the students have to serve aEout 135 people at the dinner. Along with preparing dinner during the

Seaside Three Course Challenge meet in September, the Brewer’s Dinner is the program’s largest fundraising activity. $dditionally, the dinner serves as the ¿nal exam for second-semester students. As the second semester ends March 11, Holen has “to bring them back for a couple of days and take them out of their other classes” to pull off the dinner. “I give them an incomplete until after the beer dinner,” he said. “That’s their ¿nal exam. And it’s about executing it and following through and showing up on time and showing up, period. That’s what the lesson is about.” In general, he believes in giving the students practical assignments to improve their work ethic and give them marketable skills in the local hospitality market.
A love of craft beer
During the festival, tasters can vote on their favorite beer. At the end, the brewery with the most votes will win the People’s Choice Award and a trophy — or rather, a surfboard the brewery can display and bring back the following year. The reigning champion is Wild Ride Brewing of Redmond. The Oregon Coast Homebrewer’s Competition also is a highlight of Pouring at the Coast. The competition is open to all home brewers, at least 21 years old, from across the country. They
can submit — either through drop-off or mail-in — one exhibit in each category. The entries are judged March 18 and the morning of March 19 according to the 2015 edition of the Beer Judge Certi¿cation Program style guidelines. Winners are announced at the end of the festival. The festival has evolved since its early days, when it featured about 10 breweries from the local area. However, while the venue has changed and the number of participants grown, the culture surrounding the festival has remained, Grif¿n said. In general, people want to collectively celebrate and appreciate an array of ¿ne craft brews in a single location, rather than party and get wild. “Culturally, it has remained a tasting festival. People are going because they are fascinated with and have a love for craft beer,” Grif¿n said. “It provides a really unique opportunity for people who wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to these beers to have access to them.” Besides, he added, who doesn’t want to attend a beer fest at the beach? And because the event takes place indoors, weather is not an issue. “Whether it’s pouring at the coast or not, Pouring at the Coast still goes on,” Grif¿n said. The festival is sponsored by Fred Meyer, Ohana Media Group and Seaside Brewery. The Brewer’s Dinner is sponsored by Teevin & Fischer Quarry, and Sysco donates food.
Tickets are available through the Seaside Chamber of Commerce by calling 503-738-6391 or by visiting www.pouringatthecoast.com

Gigging in
Pacific County
Astoria author Matt Love recently toured the Timberland Regional Libraries in Pacific County, Washington — and the experience left an impression It was 10:50 a.m. on a Thursday morning in early February. I sat alone in the Ilwaco Library meeting room wondering if a single person would attend my 11 a.m. presentation about my writing and publishing career. At long last, after 14 years and almost 1,000 gigs around Oregon in support of the books, I would ¿nally suffer the indignity of ]ero atten dance at one of my events. Virtually every author has a “no one showed up at my gig story,” and now mine was about to unfold. See what you get for venturing outside your familiar territory, Matt, I thought to my self. Washington is going to deliver some pain and humiliation. And to make matters worse, two hours after the Ilwaco non gig, I had to drive to the Ocean Park library for another event. I would be the only author in history with back to back gigs in the same day where no one showed up! 10:55 … room empty … I was walking the plank, a perfect metaphor since Ilwaco is a sea faring town. 6i[ months earlier I had arranged a Pacif ic County tour that called for stops in Ilwaco, Ocean Park, Naselle, South Bend and Raymond during February. I no longer recall what sort of delusional state led me to pitch such an insane idea. In my mind, I had no readership in :ash ington, but the folks at the Timberland Region al Library System responded immediately and happily set up the schedule. I was even guaran teed $50 an appearance, which would just about cover expenses for each gig. At 10:58 a.m., a couple walked in and sat down. A minute later, another person and a li brary employee joined the group. I did the show, a great conversation among friends rather than a show, and sold ¿ve books. A few hours later, I left the Ocean Park Li brary in a da]e after that presentation. Sixteen people attended, they bought 16 books, and I scored a free, groovy coffee table book from the 1970s about whales. I did a little calculation: the ¿rst two events of the Paci¿c County Tour had yielded the high est percentage of attendees to books sold (105 percent) in my career. In Washington? A few days later, seven people attended my evening presentation at the Naselle Timberland
I

Library. The staff provided sugar cookies and strong coffee. I sold 11 books — another sales record for the number of people at an event. I didn’t know what to make of it. The tour ramped back up a couple weeks later with a p.m. Saturday show at the Ray mond library. I had never visited Raymond before and misjudged how long it would take to drive there, so I ended up arriving two hours early. Yes, I had two hours to kill in Raymond, and I killed them with glee. I bought two cassettes from a thrift store, drank a Washington beer in the Pitchwood Inn, and bought a $350 purple electric guitar from a mystic or madman; I couldn’t decide his status. At 1:57 p.m., I sat alone in the basement meeting room of the Raymond Timberland Library, surrounded by a real or fake plant and forlorn bean bag chairs. This was it. The streak was over. It hit me! I actually didn’t want anyone to show up! If someone did, I would tell them to leave. *(T O8T! I need ed the no show story for my new book about gigging. With one minute to go, two older women walked in the door, and then we were joined by a library employee. The gig was fun, inter active. We shared Raymond stories, and I had one to share. I sold six books and did a little jig heading to the truck. On the way home, I celebrated my success by stopping in at the Dock of the Bay in Bay Center for an oyster burger. The following Saturday, I arrived 90 min utes early in South Bend for a 2 p.m. show at the library. I killed time by hitting an antique shop and buying a double California Jam II rock album and a vintage Hamm’s Beer light. At 1:59 p.m., I was in the library thumbing through my Astoria book, trying to choose what piece to read. Not a single person was in the audience, if you didn’t count the man reading the newspaper in the front row of chairs who seemed oblivious that an author was about ready to read from his work. He asked me, “What’s going on?” I told him. He didn’t care, but he didn’t leave either. Could I count this man as an attendee and continue the streak?

At the South Bend Timberland Library, the audience included a man who read a newspaper throughout author Matt Love’s authore presentation. notforsale Photo by Matt Love
Astoria author Matt Love recently held a book tour at Timerland Regional Libraries in Pacific County, Washington.
With 30 seconds to go, a woman walked into the library and sat down in the second row. Then my two close friends, Tim and Angie, showed up in all their medic inal dankness and took up the back row. A couple minutes into the show, another woman arrived and found a seat. The man kept read ing the newspaper throughout the gig, occa sionally dropping it to blast me with invec tives like, “You’re ponti¿cating,” or, “You’re lucky you have an old dog that will listen to you.” It had come to this: Someone at a gig heck led me about my old husky! I took it all in with a smile and rolled the man into the show. A lively discussion about gentri¿cation ensued, and a few times I had to reel the man back into the stream of narrative of the event. That was no problem for me. I’m a teacher and do it in the classroom all the time. Tim, a ¿ne poet who goes to the body
of poetry like Rocky did to Apollo Creed’s ribcage, recited one of his poems to end the gig. When the show concluded, Tim bought my rain book for the man and I bought Tim’s book of poetry and gave it to the heckler as a gift. Why not? “Turn the other cheek,” someone once said in an old book. The man seemed enthusiastic to receive the gifts. He told me to keep up my hard work in the classroom. I sold another book to one of the ladies and donated some of my titles to the library, as I had done at all the other stops on the tour. Thank you coastal southwest Washington, for the quirkiest mini tour of my literary life. The library staffs were nothing short of wonder ful in their treatment of a local author. I set sales records and walked into some of the best stories in recent memory. I’ll be back. Matt Love teaches at Astoria High School and is author/editor of 14 books. They are available at coastal bookstores, through nestuccaspitpress.com and local libraries.

The historic brick building at the corner of U.S. Highway 101 and Broadway in Seaside was built in 1914 following a fire that gutted half the town two years prior. The building served as the City Hall, jail and a portion of the fire station. In the 1980s a new City Hall and fire station was completed on the east side of the highway. The old building remained vacant until 2011 when it underwent its first restoration. Jimmy Griffin, owner of Seaside Brewing Co., took over the building and worked to respectfully restore it as a brewery. “The location of the building stood out as a centerpiece to the community,” Griffin said as his reason to choose to take over the facility. Though his original plan was to only create a brewery, the central location invited expanding that idea to include a restaurant and pub. Griffin, who worked several years for Rogue Ales, brought along Vince Berg as the brewer. Berg brews seven staples for Seaside Brewery that are on their board along with several seasonal specialties. “We carry other beers as well as our own,” adds Griffin. This makes Seaside Brewing Company a mecca for beer lovers along the coast where they can enjoy an outdoor fire pit or the welcoming restored pub as they sip and sample their favorite craft brews.
PARTICIPATING BREWERIES
OREGON COAST BREWER’S DINNER
Jimmy Griffin, owner and president of Seaside Brewing Co., is contracted by the Seaside Chamber of Commerce to coordinate the brewers for Pouring at the Coast. Griffin invites brewers to participate from Oregon, Washington and Northern California to showcase the best of the Northwest brew craft. “Oregon is the capital of the beer world,” notes Griffin. So naturally, Pouring at the Coast features many Oregon brews. Griffin takes pride in creating a true craft beer festival whose focus is the beer. But as a champion of local business, he also added Pilot House Spirits this year, a distiller from Astoria that recently opened a tasting room in Seaside. There is also a growing homebrew community that Griffin is dedicated to showcasing each year. He registers Pouring at the Coast with the Beer Judge Competition Program as a competition site for homebrewers. Sample brews are collected and brought to Pouring at the Coast where certified judges select the top three homebrews.

This local Seaside haunt offers value for your hard-earned dollars
A
A friend of mine remembered going to Sam’s Seaside Cafe back in the ’90s. She and her high school classmates would pack into the booths and gather around bottomless baskets of fries. The bygone special wasn’t on the menu; it was meant for locals. The price: just one dollar. Now, that deal has dried up, but the values continue, making Sam’s — in the heart of Broadway’s tourist mecca — a local haunt. Paramount is the dollar beer special during happy hour. From 4 to 6 p.m. every day — even weekends — Sam’s offers beers for a buck. You can get Pabst, and better yet, Session bottles. The price matches — and sometimes beats — retail. “There are people that have been coming here for years for the sweet, sweet dollar beers,â€? a server told me. “Then at si[ they Ă€y away.â€? ,ndeed, the ambiance probably isn’t keeping them. To call Sam’s casual or laid back would be an understatement. With booths lining the walls, it’s dim, deep and cavernous. On one trip, a damp, musky odor hung in the air, likely the aftermath of a Sisyphean attempt at cleaning ancient Ă€oors. The building’s east wall is made mostly of windows. They look across a 10-foot alley onto the neighboring building’s cedar shakes. While during the day they offer nice ambient light, at night you can hardly tell they exist. The back third of the building is a bar, which looks much like the front, only with TVs and video slots and livelier bursts of conversation. At times, servers are given the unfortunate task of covering both rooms. Despite being spread thin, , found them good natured. ,t helps, no doubt, to share with customers that beers are just one dollar. As , witnessed, other patrons were overjoyed — it really is a pleasant surprise. The food, a little less so. Our server recommended the Âżsh and chips, noting the Âżsh was house-breaded and never fro]en. , went with the cod 1 . . The three medium-si]ed pieces of whiteÂżsh were beer-battered and terriÂżcally oily. They came with a load of hand-cut fries, and they too were oily. Quickly the fries shriveled, like Âżngers after a long bath. ,t seemed as if the deep-fryer wasn’t Tuite hot enough, keeping Âżsh and fries from sealing Tuickly enough. (verything was edible, and my
companion particularly liked the Âżsh, though he TualiÂżed them as a “guilty pleasure.â€? We both enjoyed the Cheesy JalapeĂąo Stuffed Tots 4. . With a more deÂżned, crunchy, crusty shell around little Ă€ecks of diced jalapeĂąo, cheese and potato, they are the offspring of jalapeĂąo poppers and tater tots. They were also about as creative as the menu at Sam’s got. Otherwise, it’s soups, salads, burgers, a modicum of seafood, and hot and cold sandwiches. The Turkey sandwich 6. was about as simple as it gets, with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayonnaise on white bread. The vegetarian sandwich aka Tubular Tracy’s Veg Supreme, 6. might as well be called the hummus sandwich, as it’s the dominant ingredient, Ă€avor and texture. The veggies — avocado, toma-
to, lettuce, cucumber, onions and mushrooms — were of passable Tuality, but including the mushrooms raw was a turn-off. ,t was, if nothing else, ¿lling. And at . for a half-sandwich with potato chips, reasonably priced. At the advice of a regular, , tried the *arlic /over’s Burger . on another trip. The pre-formed, unseasoned patty was wholly blanketed with chopped garlic, as well as grilled onions and Swiss cheese. The amount and preparation of garlic was at once overkill and dulled. Roasting the garlic would’ve been preferable, as would’ve a sharper, more pungent cheese. From the hot sandwiches, a server recommended the Philly Cheese Steak 10 with

aplomb. “Without a doubt,â€? she said. While the tender, juicy, thinly-sliced, peppery beef and grilled peppers and onions were on point, tomato and lettuce aren’t usually found on a traditional Philly Cheese. Nor is Swiss cheese — provolone and, believe it or not, American and Cheez Whiz are the sandwich’s staples. Still, it worked. So did the *rilled Buffalo Chicken Sandwich 9. 0 , a daily special also served on a hoagie roll. The chicken breast was thick and moist, dripping in bright but un-spicy buffalo sauce and slathered with a thick, pasty, blue cheese spread. Of everything , tried, it was probably the most enjoyable. That said, it’s not a Ă€avor that ,’ll make a point of coming back for. There really aren’t any, as up and down Sam’s menu the sourcing and preparation are wholly anodyne. And yet, if the timing’s right, , could see myself returning. With a large slice of lemon, mild cocktail sauce and a thankfully small oyster, the shooters were another sweet deal. Consider the following: For you could get two oysters, a beer, and leave a dollar tip. Where else is that even possible?

Swingcats of Astoria bring jazz to KALA ASTORIA — Swingcats of Astoria will perform from 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday, March 19 at KALA. Guest musicians will also perform, including jazz and blues singer Dinah Urell. Swingcats of Astoria is a revival of the original Swingcats from a few years ago. The group plays swing and jazz from the 1930s gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, jazz and bebop of the ’50s, and jazz of the 1960s and ’70s as well as original compositions. The group features Richard Thomasian,
Ted Brainard, Dave Ambrose and Lawrence Aldred. Thomasian began playing the guitar at age 13 in Fresno, California. It was just a hobby until 1972, when, at 21, he decided to make a career out of it. Thomasian has been playing music up and down the West Coast for 42 years. He has focused on jazz but also enjoys blues, rock, funk, country, folk and reggae. Brainard started his musical journey in Southern California in the early 1970s. He relocated to Oregon in 1980 after
passing through on tour. He continued his musical career as a performer and a teacher. On the North Coast, he enjoys playing and performing with many local musicians. Ambrose started playing violin in the mid-1990s and fell in love with a blond stand-up bass in 2000. Since then he’s played with a bluegrass quintet, the original Swingcats, and Astoria-based international music quartet Acustica. Aldred’s playing started with SkifÀe and early rhythm

and blues in Manchester, England. He also grew up in a home full of big-band sounds, a mom who sang standards, and “a great tolerance of my tapping on things,” he says. Coming to America in 1962, Aldred moved to Nashville and developed his drumming in rock, rhythm and blues, jazz and Western swing before moving to the Bay Area in ’65. Aldred played around Northern California for about 30 years before retiring and moving to Astoria 10 years ago. Since arriving on the North Coast, he has enjoyed playing with several jazz groups.

Hear ‘The Greatest Speech Of All Time’
Tim Mooney delivers one-man show at the Coaster Theatre CANNON BEACH — Tim Mooney, performer of the hit one-man shows “Moliere than Thou,” “Lot o’ Shakespeare” and “Shakespeare’s Histories” will bring “The Greatest Speech Of All Time” to the Coaster Theatre. The performance is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 22. Tickets are $15 each and are available online or by calling 503-436-1242. Mooney entered the words “greatest speech of all time” into Google, and his new play is the
result. “The Greatest Speech of All Time” leads the audience through the words that shaped history and features 10 speeches. Mooney’s proclivity for interpreting the shades of irony and hyperbole that inform the oratory, and his ability to untangle the “spaghetti” of centuries-old syntax, recreates these events. “I love being able to bring moments of historical consequence, where great deeds hang in the balance, to immediate and tangible life,” Mooney says.
“The Greatest Speech Of All Time” rocked the Kansas City Fringe Festival, and KCMetropolis.com called it, “A delightful blend of humor and history, with charisma, energetic pacing, and interesting anecdotes, keeping the audience riveted.” In the play, watch Socrates, having been condemned to death, give his famous “Apology.” Then, Mark Antony delivers “Friends, Romans, Countrymen,” addressing the mob at Caesar’s funeral, while deftly

turning their anger against the “honorable men” who conspired to assassinate Caesar. Frederick Douglass presents a searing indictment of slavery, mounting a “¿ery stream” of rebuke for the “revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy” that characterized the American slave trade. Abraham Lincoln reinvigorates the Union, galvanizing their resolve with the “Gettysburg Address.” Teddy Roosevelt, running for President, delivers a lengthy address, in spite of having just been shot. Roosevelt insists “the issues at stake in this campaign” are more important than his own life. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s

from the American cultural landscape. As I later wrote, “I filled out the rental agreement and the clerk processed it through an ancient DOS application with its blinking green text and cursor. I handed her two dollars, she pushed a few buttons, perhaps pulled a lever, and one of the dot matrix printers chugged to life. The machine was printing my receipt and I could not believe my eyes or ears. I love the sound of dot matrix printers in the evening; they sound like victory.” As luck would have it, I became friends with Neal Cummings, owner of Video Horizons, and I continued renting DVDs and VHS tapes from this charming establishment. When my book about Astoria came out in 2015 and was summarily banned in multiple retail outlets around town (by people who didn’t even read it), Neal gladly carried the title and displayed it prominently at the front counter close to
my beloved dot matrix printer. In the last year, I’ve sold close to 40 copies out of Video Horizons, which has to be some kind of unofficial literary record for Oregon. It was to my everlasting horror last month when I walked into the store that Neal casually announced the dot matrix printers were finally going to be retired. I couldn’t believe it! Was this another terrible story of Astoria’s ongoing gentrification? I told Neal I wouldn’t stand for it! I had to hear that soothing matrix sound in a digital world gone mad. Neal sympathized with me. He said several other customers felt the same way. And then we worked out a deal because that’s the kind of store Video Horizons is — you can’t talk to a Redbox, and Netflix streams mostly endless crap. Neal told me he’d rig it up so that when I rented a tape or DVD, I would continue to receive my receipt courtesy of the trusty OKI Microline 320 Turbo printer. He wouldn’t scrap the machine. Now that’s real customer service in Astoria and one small victory against gentrification.

Strain-Blue H aw aiian
Strain H ighlights- The Blue Hawaiian strain is known for being quite a looker; its light green to orange buds are covered in rich orange and red hairs and are coated with sparkly trichomes throughout. Bred from Blueberry and Hawaiian Sativa, Blue Hawaiian is fruity and smooth hybrid that produces a balanced high with equal parts of its relaxing indica and uplifting sativa effects. This strain is great for users who are looking for a focused, creative experience to make your day fantastic, and put those trivial boring tedious tasks in high gear to complete in record time. You will be a revived happy camper enjoying every minute as the negative thoughts dissolve from your prior disposition about what lays ahead.

Strain-Tahoe OG Strain Highlights- Tahoe OG is the perfect rainy day strain. Strong and fast-acting, you may not want to use this
strain when you’re planning to leave the house. Great for those suffering from insomnia, pain, or lack of appetite, Tahoe OG has made a name for itself among other indicas. A top nighttime strain, it provides an extremely lazy, heavy body sensation. Due to superb breeding, Tahoe OG embodies all of the typical indica effects with an added euphoric, sativa-like kick. This strain features an earthy, lemon taste, and is a phenotype of OG Kush. Tahoe OG is a must-try for those looking for a great night’s sleep, and quiet the mind from all the chaos of the day we all find ourselves from time to time.
