Get the blues at Theodores’

S TAX DAY NEARS, plenty of people will have the blues, so I suggest you beat the IRS to the punch by enjoying some better type of blues of your own.

Fortunately, Theodores’ in Springfield — a Blues Foundation honored establishment — has a great one-two punch this weekend as the Mark Nomad Band takes the stage there tomorrow, followed by the Sara Ashleigh Band on Saturday.

Nomad is no stranger to either blues fans or regular readers of this column. His music has been heard on radio stations all over the world as well as having been used has in commercials and in film over the decades. Whether he is employing a bottleneck slide on an acoustic guitar or wailing on his electric guitar fronting his band, Nomad is one of the most respected blues players going these days.

Nomad got his start with the Jimmy Johnson Band at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted St. in Chicago in the 1960s and by the next decade, he was sharing the concert stage with many of the biggest names in show business. He was co-founder of the original Little Village, whose debut album is considered a collector’s item. Always one with an ear for melodic, catchy riffs, Nomad penned a jingle for the Subway fast food chain in their early days, while another tune was used as the theme for WBAB, a major New York radio station.

Nomad has performed at venues such as the Bottom Line, House of Blues, Bushnell Memorial, Toad’s Place, China Club, Iron Horse, Palace Theater, New Haven Coliseum and scores of colleges and blues festivals.

Ashleigh, on the other hand, got her start with the bluegrass band Haydaze and went on to

And there is more and more talk of civilians traveling to space, but as she said, “At this time in history, I think space travel is an adventure for the rich.”

While at the museum, there’s much to see, including a test concept model of a type of “cosmic commode” required for the Space Station from about 1985 to 1995.

Donald W. Rethke, who worked at Hamilton Sundstrand in Connecticut, was a leading contributor to the development of the Waste Collection System for NASA’s extended duration orbiter flights and for the space station. He said a visit to the annual Space Expo would be extra special because of the opportunity to meet Tanner and see the airplanes on display.

Tanner began working for NASA Johnson Space Center in 1984 as an aerospace engineer and research pilot.

Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1992, he logged more than 1,000 hours in space including seven space walks.

Admission to Space Expo is included in admission to the museum: $15 for adults, $14 for seniors (ages 65 and

Tanner, a veteran of four space shuttle missions, will give lectures at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on his experience in space; he will be available for a meet and greet from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

‘The Division 2’ is fun place to visit, but you won’t want to live there

By Christopher Byrd

Special To The Washington Post

“C’mon bullets, I need you!” says the NPC crouched behind cover frantically trying to reload his gun. It’s a line I’ve heard more than a few times in the days I’ve spent combing the streets of D.C. in “The Division 2.” But I still like how it adds a touch of silliness to a title that’s based around shooting homicidal people and looting their corpses.

For a game that turns the capital into a war zone, “The Division 2” aims to be as innocuous as possible. The enemies in it aren’t folks with festering grievances against Democrats, Republicans or U.S. foreign policy, but a handful of gangs whose members can mostly be heard griping vaguely about the system.

In the first game, a chemical terrorist attack spread via paper currency led to chaotic unrest in New York. These events prompted the activation of a top-secret domestic sleeper cell known as the Division, charged with tamping down the violence in the streets. The sequel picks up seven months later with the nation’s government in tatters. The Capitol building is occupied by the True Sons, a heavily armed group of warlords, and the streets of D.C. are occupied by other gangs like the criminally-minded Hyenas and the Outcasts, disaffected people who resent their time living under forced quarantine.

Propaganda towers are spread throughout the city and the gangs maintain several control points. Clearing out these areas nets experience points and places to fast travel from the map screen. Early in the campaign I found it useful to rush past these areas to get to places where I could initiate story missions because getting shot down in the streets necessitates having to back travel to a hospitable place on the map.

Amid this tumult are for-

hen the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters make their way to the Mullins Center in Amherst on Sunday with their new Fan Powered World Tour, they will give fans a chance to get closer than ever to all the hoop action.

Tickets to the 2 p.m. performance range in price from $25 to $107.

At each Globetrotters game on their 2018-2019 world tour, there will be over 20 opportunities before, during and after each event where fans will get a chance to directly interact with the team’s stars – a 30-percent increase over any previous Globetrotters game.

This year’s game features a star-studded roster that includes Big Easy Lofton, Ant Atkinson, Hi-Lite Bruton, Hammer Harrison, Thunder

Law, Bull Bullard and Cheese Chisholm – plus women stars TNT Lister, Torch George and Hoops Green, according to the Globetrotters’ organization, noting that “player availability is subject to change.”

Also part of this year’s roster is Dizzy English, a 5’9” guard from Detroit who wears the number “2” on his jersey.

The dribbling and “shooting dynamo” played parts of three seasons in the NBA Development League after a promising career at Cleveland State University.

is history for the past eight years,” English said.

While English never had the opportunity to see the Globetrotters in action while growing up, he noted he has

“one big memory” of them from childhood.

The idea of using a subscription model as a restaurant marketing tool has captured the attention of the food service world, with many observers speculating that Burger King’s BK Cafe Coffee initiative might prove

Whether or not a “subscription” to a particular restaurant will prove to be a viable pricing model is debatable, however. After all, a similar marketing approach has long been used by country clubs that required a monthly membership billing for their dining rooms, a requirement those clubs have been finding to be increasingly unattractive to their members.

With the broad array of dining out options in the marketplace, it’s likely that Burger King’s monthly coffee deal is a clever promotional one-off, not the harbinger of a disruptive dining out trend.

Chuan Jiao Bistro excels with both familiar and exotic

T

HOUGH CHInese-American eateries are commonplace here in Western Massachusetts, the trend of late is to make the Chinese restaurant experience more authentic. Chuan Jiao Bistro in Amherst is typical of this evolution; it’s an example of what we’d dub “Chinese Restaurant 2.0.”

Chuan Jiao Bistro patrons are presented with a menu that lists options both familiar and exotic. Among the former are the likes of General Tso’s Chicken ($11.95) and Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce ($12.95) while more unusual offerings include Sweet Bean Paste Lamb ($16.95) and Boiled Whole Fish with Green Prickly Ash ($24.95).

Starters reflect the commonplace —- Spring Rolls ($1.95) — and the less familiar — Steamed Chicken in Hot Chili Sauce ($9.95).

We began our meal with two classics, Scallion Pancake ($4.95) and Pan-fried Dumplings ($7.95), and found both to be among the best of each we’ve recently encountered.

The pancake had a multi-layered flakiness akin to puff pastry and phyllo; flecked with bits of green onion, the cake had a mild flavor overall.

Plump with a meaty filling

of pork, ginger, and garlic, the six dumplings were also very much to our liking.

Egg Drop Soup ($1.95) was typical of its genre and had a pleasant chicken flavor lightly underscored with sesame smokiness.

Much of the menu at Chuan Jiao Bistro is organized around “styles,” with various dishes categorized by the

specific set of ingredients and flavorings used to create them. “Sweet bean paste style,” for instance, identifies chicken, lamb, or beef wokchowed with onion and sweet bean paste.

Chicken Ginger & Scallion Style ($13.95) wasn’t at all like the ginger chicken that’s a mainstay of Chinese restaurant menus. Instead of a soy-based brown glaze, the kitchen at Chuan Jiao Bistro used a glossy white “lobster sauce” for the dish, with matchstick ginger and scallion layering low-key flavors onto strips of wok-fried chicken.

Served over steamed baby bok choy, the dish turned out to be surprisingly subtle.

In the Far East, shrimp are often consumed shell and all, the belief being that those “parts” are responsible for much of the crustacean’s flavor. Thus the “Cumin Style” Shrimp ($18.95) we sampled were prepared whole; jumbo prawns had been deveined, tossed in a spice coating, and stir-fried with cumin seed, sliced garlic, green onions, and small slabs of bell pepper.

Another great affordable red wine from France’s Rhone region

F YOU’VE READ THIS wine column before, you might already know what a big fan I am of wines from France’s Rhone region.

What makes them so great?

Let me count the ways.

First, many of the red wines from this part of France taste great. And by great I mean dry and smooth and absolutely bursting with flavor.

Second, these wines are often easy to find in wines stores around the world, which makes them great when recommending different wines.

Because let’s be honest. No one wants to regularly read about wines they can never find in a store near them.

Third, the price. There are so many outstanding, affordable red wines from the Rhone region I could practically write about a new one each week.

And by affordable I mean great red wines that often cost less than $15 or $10 a bottle.

Springfield), which I’ve written about several times and love so much, I even made a trip to the winery, Domaine Roger Sabon, in Chateauneuf De Pape this past January. (You can read about the winery here in a few weeks.)

All of which is long way of saying I decided to highlight another great Rhone wine that I recently came across and tasted this past week.

This wine is the 2017 Domaine La Cabotte Cotes Du Rhone Colline ($14.99 at Provisions in Northampton).

First, let’s start with the name of the winery – Domaine La Cabotte. A cabotte is a French term used by winemakers to describe a small structure in the vineyard used to store tools and other equipment often used by people working there. You often see these small, stone structures in vineyards in France’s Burgundy region.

When it comes to hot pot, Chuan Jiao is “all in,” with forty-plus ingredient options, various cooking broths, and a self-service bar that guests can visit to customize dipping sauces.

Responsibility for structuring the hot pot experience rests with diners themselves.

The choices to cook in simmering broth range from squid and fish balls to rice

cakes, sliced lamb, and sweet potato noodles.

Assembling a hot pot experience also requires restraint, since it’s easy to order (as we did) more than a group can reasonably enjoy.

one that clearly stood out.

Made with a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and Carignan grapes, this smooth, hearty wine has a full, robust finish filled with lively, dried fruit flavors, including hints of blackberries and dried cherries.

In a way, this wine reminded me of a toned down version of some of my favorite red wines from Chateaunuef De Pape, which excels at making great blended red wines using 13 different grapes.

Those wines often cost well over $40 or $15 a bottle.

That’s why this wine’s such a steal at $15 a bottle.

This wine also bodes well for the 2017 vintage, which follows two of the greatest vintages (2015 and 2016) in the Rhone region in years. (I previously wrote about the outstanding 2015 and 2016 Rhone vintages a few months ago.)

Let me add that this wine tasted great straight out of the bottle without decanting and still tasted smooth and flavorful over the next two days.

What more can you ask for?

Cheers!

VEN MORE THAN beer, my earthly passions are dogs and art in general — but in particular, music and poetry.

So it was quite a thrill to learn about the latest iteration of Pindrop Sessions, WGBH in Boston’s ongoing collaboration with Aeronaut Brewing Co., which will involve first-ever classical musical work commissioned by a brewery, and one that is based on words by poet James Agee.

If they could work dogs into the equation, this would be one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard of.

But even as it is, it’s a fantastic collaboration. The Pindrop Sessions started last season (2017-18) and was such a success (eight sold-out shows), that the partners decided to bring it back for a second goaround.

The debut of this first-ever classical composition will be on May 5, when the Aeronaut Brewery will close the second season of the Pindrop Sessions with “The Senses of Summer,” which was written

by Boston-based composer Mary Bichner. “The Senses of Summer” draws upon Bichner’s unique experience of sound-to-color synesthesia — meaning she “sees” splashes of specific colors when she hears certain pitches.

Of course, all attendees will experience multisensory delights that night as along with the music, the Tasting Counter, a Somerville-based restaurant and James Beard Foundation semifinalist, will design a tasting menu for the event inspired by Bichner’s compositional color palette.

Aeronaut will also serve a specially-brewed Strawberry Vanilla Milkshake IPA, which was also inspired by James Agee’s words.

Along with Bichner’s “Senses of Summer,” Phoenix, Aeronaut’s official orchestra-in-residence for 20182019, will perform Samuel Barber’s “Knoxville, Summer of 1915,” featuring soprano Margot Rood. The piece is set
