Don’t Let Hip or Knee pain Keep You Down What do these locals and dozens of others have in common? They were all living with the debilitating effects of a degenerative hip or knee. Pain was causing them to miss out on doing the things they loved, and they decided to do something about it. They all had joint implant surgery with the advanced MAKOplasty® system, meaning recovery time was decreased. Now they’re up, not down. Up for skiing, hiking, horseback riding, and everything else they’d been missing.

Ask how MAKOplasty® can relieve your hip and knee pain. Call 970.925.4141

MAKOplasty ® is powered by the surgeon-controlled RIO® robotic arm system enabling advanced treatment options for more accurate hip and knee implant placement.

Individual results may vary. There are risks associated with any hip or knee surgical procedures, including MAKOplasty.® Your doctor can explain these risks and help determine if MAKOplasty ® is right for you.

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with STEWART OKSENHORN

FILM AS CATHOLIC MONKS GO, Father Thomas Keating has made a noticeable splash on the planet. His biggest impact has been as a leader of the contemplative prayer movement. Keating’s books, including 1978’s “Finding Grace at the Center: The Beginning of Centering Prayer,” broke with church orthodoxy, but ushered followers worldwide into the practice of meditation. Keating also caused a stir by reaching out to spiritual leaders from all different faiths, including the Dalai Lama. Keating has also had an impact on the Roaring Fork Valley, establishing the St. Benedict’s Monastery in Old Snowmass and serving as its Superior. “Thomas Keating: A Rising Tide of Silence,” directed by Keating’s nephew, Peter C. Jones, explores its subject’s radical side, but also reveals Keating’s wisdom, compassion and influence. The film shows Monday, Feb. 3 in the Wheeler Opera House’s Monday Docs series.

Father Thomas Keating, left, is the subject of the documentary “Thomas Keating: A Rising Tide of Silence,” showing Monday, Feb. 3 at the Wheeler Opera House.

CURRENTEVENTS VISUAL ARTS TEENAGERS AREN’T ALWAYS eager to speak what’s on their minds. But the visual arts can offer a good alternative to words in trying to gauge what young people are thinking about and their take on the world. Which makes the Young Curators of the Roaring Fork exhibition one of the more enlightening presentations at the Aspen Art Museum. For this edition of the Young Curators show — open to high school students from Aspen to Rifle — 10 curators selected work by 14 artists that explore the theme of Escape. The art, including sculpture, video and digital collage, reveals thoughts of fantasy, beauty and despair. Escape runs through Sunday, Feb. 2.

Hip-hop group Jurassic 5, with rapper Chali 2Na, plays Saturday, Feb. 1 at Belly Up.

POPULAR MUSIC

“Escape From Reality,” digital collage, by Glenwood Spring High School student Megan Lai, is part of the Young Curators of the Roaring Fork exhibition Escape, showing at the Aspen Art Museum.

JURASSIC 5 HAD A memorable and satisfying eightyear run beginning in the late ’90s, with four albums — including the outstanding “Quality Control” from 2000 — and some of the best examples of how to play hip-hop in the live setting. (Their 2003 show at the old Double Diamond in Aspen was brilliant.) The group split in 2007 over reported personal disagreements, but now everyone seems to agree it’s time for the alternative hip-hop group from Los Angeles to resurface. Even DJ Cut Chemist, who left to pursue a solo career before the rest called it quits, was on board when Jurassic 5 played the Coachella festival and began talking of a new live album. All hip-hop fans should rejoice, but those in Aspen are luckiest of all: The group’s current tour includes just three American dates, but one is at Belly Up, on Saturday, Feb. 1.

“When I was in high school, I did the news and one week we were having a blood drive. Our teacher thought it’d be a good idea if they got me on camera actually giving blood. I’m not big on needles, so it took a lot of convincing! But then they filmed me doing the paperwork and the initial finger prick. Finally, after they got me into the chair to do it, the lady completely missed my vein! So of course I started freaking out! Meanwhile, the lady is moving the needle around inside of my arm, which made it even worse! As that’s going on, I started bleeding all over the place! They had to shut down the station I was at. And after all of that, not a single drop got into the bag!” COMPILED BY CAROLINE DEROSA

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with JOHN COLSON

Tell the IRS to do the right thing, for once “THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil.” The Bible says that, in 1 Timothy 6:10 of the King James Version. And for once the Bible got it right, perhaps recognizing even back then that the worldwide worship of money would far outpace religion throughout history. The Greek philosopher Aristotle, writing some 350 years before the Christian era began, concluded that the use of money grew out of the more cumbersome barter system. He reasoned that the success of the barter system depended on something he termed “a coincidence of wants.” That meant that a guy with a few cows to trade had to find someone who not only wanted the cows, but also had something the cow-trader wanted in return — cumbersome, indeed. Anthropologist David Graeber, in a 2011 book, “Debt: The First 5,000 Years,” decided that the money thing started with the Sumerians in about 3500 B.C., with the creation of a credit system to deal with farmers who tried to make a go of it and failed, thereby plunging into debt to feed, clothe and house their families. The use of money, then, apparently grew out of a need to more narrowly define debt and create a way to discharge that debt, a system that favors the rich and has only gotten worse as the money lenders, traders, and finally the corporate elite have figured out more effective and complicated ways to get whole populations into severe debt and keep them there. It’s all very puzzling, and the only thing I know for sure about all this is that the benefactors of this system are as clever as they are rich. For instance, take the ongoing flap about the IRS wanting to keep “social welfare” programs out of politics. Under the current tax code, organizations in the tax-exempt 501(c)(4) classification are known as social welfare organizations, meaning organizations that are “operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare.” The U.S. Treasury Department, though, more laxly interpreted the tax code’s 501(c)(4) language to mean groups that “are operated primarily

for the purpose of bringing about civic betterment and social improvements,” according to federal regulations. The IRS, as a result, has permitted lobbying and campaign activities under the code, if those activities are not the primary activities of the organization. The code also allows such organizations to hide donor identities, thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1958 (NAACP v. Alabama), which allowed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to keep its donors’ identities secret so they wouldn’t be shot to pieces by bigots. Fast forward to the present: The Tea Party, looking for a way to hide the sources of its support, has sought cover under this code. But the IRS started asking questions and the right wing went ballistic, claiming the tea baggers were being singled out, although the IRS had earlier asked the same questions of progressive organizations, too. The fight, as I see it, comes down to this: The elite power brokers, who know they can’t be elected and mostly wouldn’t want to be anyway, want to use their wealth to run the country and make sure their class stays on top and stays rich. An oligarchy, to put it bluntly. But why should huge sums of money be allowed to affect political outcomes and yet the source of that money be kept secret? We deserve to know who these donors are, so that we can make decisions about the effect of the donations on the integrity, honesty and trustworthiness of political candidates. Right now, the IRS is asking Americans to weigh in on this issue, and most of the comments sent in so far seem to be from the right, which wants the IRS to back off. So the rest of us have to make ourselves heard, by the end of February, and tell the IRS that no overtly political group, from the right or the left, should be able to hide their donor lists from the public, nor should they be granted tax-exempt status. And any group that wants that status should be investigated fully for compliance with the guidelines. Period.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

Streets were not cleared quickly after the storms of the 1930s.

THEY GOT BY In contrast to today’s snow-seeding, snowmaking, snow prayingand-dancing, Aspenites of the late 1920s and early 1930s crossed their fingers and wished it would not snow. The white stuff was an inconvenience; when it blanketed the town, they barely got by. These days, snowplows seem to magically manifest almost as soon as the first flakes touch ground; but back then, the deeply indebted Aspen city government owned only bare-bones equipment, inadequate for serious snow removal. Many residents owned no vehicles, others put their model-Ts and As on blocks for the winter, and the few who wanted to drive their automobiles waited patiently. They trusted that eventually enough snow would be pushed aside to provide a single lane of travel. For the most part, town residents relied on an ancient snow removal device: the sun. Nearly all adult residents had lived part of their lives B.C. (Before Cars) so limited access to automobile travel in winter did not hamper routine or cause considerable consternation. They hailed from a generation of walkers, trudgers in winter. The first person to walk through the drifts faced a cold, arduous journey; however, the track was soon widened by those who followed. Mining was still the base industry. Miners walked to work at the

Durant, shoveled the entrance, and then forgot about white streets while they worked the Earth’s black interior, far from winter. At that time Midnight Mine workers usually spent nights in the boarding house and walked back and forth to town

The “D&RG” plowed its tracks and although winter weather occasionally disrupted service or caused delays, you could still get to Denver faster by winter train than by summer automobile. Ranchers were selfsufficient and did not often travel to

NO NOISY BOBCATS OR SNOW BLOWERS WHISKED THE WALKS CLEAN. AFTER A STORM, PASSAGEWAYS WERE CLEARED THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, BY SHOVELING.

IF YOU HAD GROWN TOO OLD OR BECOME TOO SICK TO SHOVEL, YOUR NEIGHBOR TOOK CARE OF IT FOR YOU. only on weekends. Large draft horses, driven by a teamster, brought in supplies and sometimes hauled away ore on the return trip. Other times, miners stockpiled ore until spring, when trucks took it to town. Travel, whether in or out of town, posed no special problems. Daily trains still severed Aspen.

town on snow days. However, in an emergency they hitched up a team of their strongest animals to drive to town. No noisy bobcats or snow blowers whisked the walks clean. After a storm, passageways were cleared the old fashioned way, by shoveling. First you shoveled the way from

your door to the street, then you shoveled toward your neighbor who was carving a path toward you. If you had grown too old or become too sick to shovel, your neighbor took care of it for you. Downtown retailers cleared the few sidewalks that existed because a snowy path to the door easily discouraged potential customers. Often businessmen also carved out a few nearby parking spaces for their patrons because the city’s only concern was to clear just enough snow to allow cars to make their way down the streets. Aspen’s miners were no strangers to a shovel and shoveling snow, even for an aging miner, felt like a holiday (except for the cold and wind). Teenagers had neither TV nor Internet, so when a storm passed through town, they fought their tendency toward terminal boredom by forging new frontiers at the end of a shovel. Hundreds of shovels can dismiss a white blanket in short order. They got by. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective.

PUT A LID ON IT!

200

Numerous retailers in Aspen and Snowmass Village carry POC products. Click on the store locator at www.pocsports.com.

THE DILEMMA: Your old goggles are scratched, or perhaps they don’t wrap securely around your helmet. How’s the peripheral vision? For too long you’ve tolerated goggle flaws because you didn’t know what a ski goggle could be.

THE FIX: The POC Lid.

WHY IT WORKS: POC’s mission has always emphasized safety, and the most obvious characteristic of the Lid is its frameless design and ample field of vision. With an unobstructed peripheral view, it’s easy to forget you’re wearing goggles. No exterior frames means easier snow removal. Triple-layered foam allows this goggle to rest comfortably against the face and, along with the soft, polyurethane inner frame, cushion any potential impact. The goggle strap also features silicone strips that stick to your helmet for a snug, secure helmet-goggle package.

ADD-ONS: The Lid comes with an all-around lens for varying light conditions, but additional lenses can be purchased for $100 apiece and easily switched.

WINEINK

A CASE FOR MILLENNIALS OCCASIONALLY AN IDEA will come over the transom for a column that is both compelling and perplexing. Such was the case recently when the Aspen Times Weekly “millennial” columnist Barbara Platts suggested a story on the “Oldest Wines in Aspen.” First of all, I thought it was ironic that the person who writes of the young was KELLY J. interested in the old. HAYES Flattered initially, I soon realized her interest was in aged wines, collectible wines, the kind of wines with expensive price tags. That is, of course, so Aspen. And as such, it is a great idea for a story. But as the kind of guy who uses phrases like “over the transom” and has an AOL account (that should give you a pretty good idea that I am, um, of a certain age), I got to thinking about the differences between generations of wine drinkers and how they look at wine. Barbara suggested that “the oldest bottle” story would be more interesting than a story on “what my generation cares about, which is currently whatever wine is cheapest :).” While I acknowledge that price is a significant component in how millennials make their wine buying decisions, I respectfully disagree that it is the bottom line for most emerging wine drinkers. I’ll get to the oldest bottles story one day, but for now let’s take a look at millennials and their wine drinking habits. According to a story in the Washington Post, there are about 39 million Americans who drink wine “several” times a week. Of this group, about a third could be considered part of the millennial generation, which can be roughly defined as those born between 1980 and 2000. There are about 75 million of these folks and they are the future, not just of the country but the wine market as well. As this group comes of age, they bring a very different dynamic to

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

an industry that has long been dominated by consumers who have been trained to follow traditional marketing pathways. Over the past 30 or so years, wines have been sold via ratings, massive magazine advertising campaigns and PR flacks who have created the aura of success, achievement and exclusivity around specific wines. If Parker rated it highly, if it was expensive and if it was hard to find, then baby boomers wanted it. No matter what the grape was or if it was the right wine for the right time. But millennial are less influenced by the trappings and images of wealth and prestige when making their wine purchasing decisions. This is a much more casual generation and they are less likely to follow pack mentality when it comes to choosing their wines. It is no longer who has the most expensive bottle or the one with the highest score that is desirable, but rather it is who has the coolest wine. And the coolest wine may be the bottle that costs $15, or even less. What defines “cool” is the $35 billion question. That is the approximate retail value of the

Janu ar y 30 - Febr u ar y 5 , 20 14

U.S. wine market in sales terms currently and it has grown for 20 straight years. Whether it continues to grow depends upon winemakers tapping into the zeitgeist of a generation that is more fragmented and in some ways more sophisticated than those wine drinkers that came before. The wine drinkers of today are totally wired. They are the first generation to not need to wait for the pundits to rate wines or to read about them in magazines. Instead they get their recommendations from friends, via social network sites and online forums. They are interested in who made the wines, where the vineyards are and what is the mind-set of the winery. Organics and biodynamic

wines resonate. Young makers with attitude and character contribute and, of course, a good label design and name can be a closer. And then there is price. A splurge on a bottle at retail may be $20 but the sweet spot of the new generation tops out at around $15. This is a generation that buys to drink, not necessarily to hold. These are generalizations of course, but research is indicating that if you want to sell wine to millennials, make it fun, have a story to tell and make it affordable. Kelly J.

PONDERING PLATO’S HOW TO BREAK OUT OF A RESTAURANT RUT

FLYING BACK FROM the East Coast last year, I found myself stuck with an eleven-hour layover in Cleveland. Not one to throw up a white flag and skulk around a Midwest airport until 6 a.m., I decided to funnel my frustration into an all-night adventure. So I hopped onto a sketchy subway and ended up fifteen miles away at the Greenhouse Tavern, one of those restaurants AMANDA that food obsessees talk RAE about and blog about but then realize they’d have to plan a trip to the Cleve to visit. I’d met Jonathan Sawyer, a 2010 Food & Wine Best New Chef at Chefs Club at the St. Regis in Aspen a few months prior, so I thought I’d stop in, say hello, and have dinner, on his turf this time. He wasn’t in the kitchen that night, but when I slid up to the bar I noticed something so ironic I laughed out loud: Groundhog Day was playing on the big screen. The contrast of exploring uncharted territory while the wry banality of Bill The Man Murray echoed overhead stuck with me. I think about that night often, especially when choosing restaurants. Here in the Aspen snow globe, it’s too easy to get stuck in a rut. We all have our favorite bar menus, depending on mood and cravings, and dishes we can’t seem to skip. How many times will I order the crispy chicken sandwich at the little white house on the corner of Hopkins? Every time. Now, with the real-life Groundhog Day approaching on Sunday, I propose a bold notion: take a risk, go somewhere new, and break the cycle already! Fate shook up my restaurant routine last week when I attended a dinner at Plato’s Restaurant at the Aspen Meadows. The six-course meal, paired with lush sips from Michael David Winery in Lodi, Calif., was such a cool culinary journey that I deeply questioned why I hadn’t returned to the funky Bauhaus dining room since attending the

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Aspen Writers’ Foundation Summer Words Conference, oh, last June. As evidenced by the evening’s tasting menu, executive chef Jason Thompson (JT), who took the helm recently when Todd Slossberg departed to Chefs Club, and sous chef Paul Rose are clearly having some fun in the kitchen. Their food is modern at times, comforting at others. We began with deconstructed tiger prawn scampi, then lamb cassoulet with creamy sweet potato and dried-cherry Irish soda bread; rabbit leg confit with pancetta and pistachio; tea-smoked duck with goat cheese arancini; a mouth-melting venison chop drizzled with a hunter sauce. The finale: chocolate truffle cake drizzled with warm ganache, poached cherry pearls, and shortbread crumbs, paired impeccably with Michael David Winery 2011 Lust Zinfandel. “The most common term is that we’re a ‘gem buried in the West End of Aspen,’” says Aspen Meadows director of food and beverage Ashley Lynch. (See “Hidden Treasure, Easy Access,” opposite page.) To that I smile and nod: Why aren’t more people talking about Plato’s? The place has been open since 2005. “People think it’s a private club, others are quietly talking about it,” Lynch continues. “We have a great back of house; they are super inspired about the food. There’s a lot of excitement among the staff right now.” Surrounded by sweeping views that stretch for more than 40 acres — which have long inspired dialogue, hence its name honoring the Greek philosopher — Plato’s Restaurant is most popular in the summer, thanks to its proximity to the Music Tent at the Aspen Music Festival and various conferences hosted by the Aspen Institute. But even in winter it has a serene, breezy atmosphere thanks to sleek furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and those magnificent panoramas of snow-frosted mountains. Dinner always tastes better with a view. “Plato’s cuisine is creative and interesting, but at root we all love

Janu ar y 30 - Febr u ar y 5 , 20 14

comfort food,” says assistant food and beverage manager Chris Becker. “From our aged cheddar pierogi to the new seafood cassoulet, every dish walks the line between providing guests with delicious new experiences and the classical dishes they have always loved.” The current winter menu includes oxtail agnolotti with Avalanche blue cheese, amaretto cream, and toasted almond gremolata; bourbon-maple glazed duck with butternut squash empanadas and toasted pecan sauce; chicken under a brick with wild mushrooms, bread pudding, and charred broccoli; and sole schnitzel with winter greens, crispy capers, and lemon-brown butter nage. (And freekeh — when was the last time you spotted that ancient grain on a menu?) There are daily preparations of oysters and 7X beef, plus a seasonal salad bowl of the freshest greens, veggies, fruits, and grains. In the summer, a backyard garden grows leafy greens — kale ahoy! — and herbs. “JT also does some foraging on the property.” Lynch says. “We roll out a new menu each season, but by the end of the summer, 60 to 75 percent of the menu has changed. There’s always something new.”

The warm, hip Hefner Lounge serves casual fare all day, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.: Colorado elk chili; twicecooked chicken wings; ale-braised short ribs with cheesy heirloom grits; and hand cut pappardelle pasta with vegetable Bolognese. A Meadows Burger Bar invites diners to build the ultimate sandwich with a variety of toppings including fried eggs, applewood-smoked bacon, roasted green chile, and five kinds of cheese. Lynch and Becker are in the process of revamping Plato’s beverage list to include more craft beers, and a special March dinner with a Colorado brewery is in the works. Wine dinners will resume in the summer, following the restaurant’s annual brief closure for offseason. “Plato’s has a lot of room to grow,” Lynch says. “And we have the greatest patio in Aspen.” Plan to catch a sunset, savor a meal, and roast s’mores in the outdoor fire pit afterward — and like me, make it a goal to go more than once a year. Amanda Rae hopes Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow. Don’t you want six more weeks of winter, too? amandaraewashere@gmail.com

GUNNER’S LIBATIONS

by TIM KURNOS

DRINK IT Genepi is best served neat, but it is good on the rocks and also with a splash of tonic.

GENEPI: APRÈS LIKE YOU’RE IN THE ALPS After a day of skiing in the cold there’s nothing better than sipping on a little Genepi to warm yourself up. Originally developed as medicine for whatever ailed you, Genepi is sipped fireside at every ski lodge in the Alps. Genepi is an alpine flower under the wormwood classification. It’s basically steeped with other alpine herbs in a neutral grain spirit (vodka) then sugar is added to balance the bitterness. There is no one recipe for Genepi, and most mountaineers in the region make their own (it’s not any harder than making your own lemoncello, except it’s hard to find the plant here in the Rockies). The spirit is floral, herbaceous, silky, sweet and lemony, with a touch of honey at the finish. Justice Snow’s and Of Grape & Grain have the Genepi pictured here; Chartreuse, which is a type of Genepi, is widely available. GUNILLA ASHER DIDN’T MAKE IT TO THE BARS THIS WEEKEND, BUT SHE’LL SHARE ANOTHER FAVORITE DRINK WITH US SOON. IN THE MEANTIME, EMAIL JMCGOVERN@ ASPENTIMES.COM WITH WHAT COCKTAILS YOU’RE MIXING, WHAT LIBATIONS YOU’RE DRINKING, WHAT TASTES HAVE TEMPTED YOUR TASTEBUDS AND WE’LL SHARE THEM WITH OUR READERS.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

The Silent Disco tent, with Silent Events founder Ryan Dowd spinning some tunes, was a hit at the X Games.

GET DOWN AT THE SILENT DISCO DO IT RIGHT AND EVERYONE WILL BE DANCING

THE SETTING IS somewhat reminiscent of a junior high dance, at first. People enter a quiet room and look rather skeptical, then a bit self-conscious. The disco ball in the center of the dance floor catches their eye and they wonder what they should be doing. Then, they put on a pair of headphones and it all becomes a bit clearer. A dance party erupts. But not just BARBARA any dance party, take PLATTS off the headphones and this fiesta is silent. The Silent Disco tent at the base of Buttermilk was a new attraction this year for X Games attendees to enjoy. I was hired as part of the event development team for four days. I had no idea what was in store for me when I arrived last Thursday morning for my job. I had never heard of a Silent Disco (pun intended), and I soon found out that I was not alone. Here’s how the Silent Disco works: Each person that enters is given a pair of wireless headphones. Once they put them on, they can choose from three channels of music transmitted from a DJ booth at the head of the dance floor. Each channel plays a different genre of music. Those of us who

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

don’t have a pair of headphones on feel like we’re missing out on an inside joke as we watch groups of headphone wearers quietly cavort, only making noise when they suddenly decide to bellow out a chorus in unison or communicate to the rest of their group at an extremely high decibel level. The Silent Disco tent at X Games was put on by Silent Events, the original production company for silent parties in the U.S. The silent party trend originated in Europe, but debuted in 2008 at Bonnaroo Music Festival. The man that made it all happen was Silent Event’s founder and owner, Ryan Dowd. He

Janu ar y 30 - Febr u ar y 5 , 20 14

looked at how it was executed in Europe and found ways to pioneer the silent party in his country. He manufactured his own headphones that introduced the three-channel options so people could customize their own experience. “It helps expand the demographic of music,” Dowd said. “There isn’t just one type of music being blared at you from a speaker. You get to choose the volume and style of the music you want.” Silent Events typically hosts parties for 18-30 year olds. However, the family focused environment at X Games allowed for all ages to enjoy rocking out

inside their own world…that others happened to share. Dowd believes that a Silent Disco fits well with the young generation due to our need for technological choices. We all have so many options on our phones, tablets and computers so we should be able to have the same when it comes to our live musical experiences. “This is a generation of choices,” Dowd said. “People expect to have a choice, and we are giving them that with music. We want to bring the music back to the people.” As technology evolves, it will be fascinating to see how we gain even more control over our musical experiences. After working the Silent Disco, I’m excited to watch this evolution take place as entrepreneurs like Dowd change the way we party. I also look forward to seeing how the music changes with it, because after four days in the Silent Disco tent I have zero interest in listening to Daft Punk’s Get Lucky or Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines ever again. Barbara Platts, a local marketing professional, writes about the “mountain millennial culture” that she participates in every day. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com or follow her @barbaraplatts.

IT’S ALL ABOUT

THEORMUSIC, IS IT? by ANDRE SALVAIL

VERY MONDAY AT AROUND 10 P.M., YOU’LL SPOT LONGTIME ASPEN MUSICIAN TRENTON ALLAN AT THE RED ONION, AT HIS USUAL CORNER BETWEEN THE BAR AND THE FRONT WINDOW, TINKERING WITH THE CONTROLS ON A SOUNDBOARD AND MANAGING THE MUSICIANS AND SINGERS WHO HAVE SIGNED UP FOR OPEN-MIC NIGHT.

Julie, top, and Jordan take the mic at The Red Onion.

PHOTOS BY AUBREE DALLAS

He’s doing a lot more than balancing the highs and lows of the vocals and guitars to get the right mix. He’s juggling the highs and lows of the overall show, making sure the people who are on the list start on time and in tune, and pacing the show so that the weakest performances are followed by strong ones. Open-mic night in Aspen won’t survive unless the event continues to maintain its crowd, keeping customers from leaving the bar in favor of other local nightspots. Since Allan restarted open-mic night at The Red Onion after the restaurant reopened back in 2010, it has been largely successful. Decembers, Januarys and Februarys are especially busy, as are most of the Mondays during high-season summer months. The fall and spring offseasons draw a light crowd, albeit one that is usually more attentive. On a recent Monday in January, the crowd is a bit lighter than usual. And to the delight of some of the musicians, the patrons are not as noisy. In fact, most are affiliated with the Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, which recently had its Women’s Retreat. And while many of them may not actually be hearing what’s going on, some are feeling the rhythm, smiling, communicating with their friends and tapping their feet to the beat. One never knows what the vibe will be like at open-mic night. It changes from hour to hour, week to week, month to month. Performers with a solid set one week might wreck the train, so to speak, one week later. A big, enthusiastic crowd might be the norm for several consecutive Mondays, only to be followed by a belligerent or disinterested audience. A S P E N T I M E S . C O M / W E E K LY

That’s just how it goes and the unpredictable nature of the event just adds to the charm. Allan keeps the show alive at the Onion, just as he did at other local clubs going back more than a decade. It’s important to him to help sustain the live-music scene in Aspen, and to do it the right way. “A while back, I was out East in grad school in Tennessee, and there were places where you had to pay to get on the list,” he said. “I remember one place in particular, if your song in the first 30 seconds wasn’t good enough, they kind of buzzed you, and turned up their music, and you were off the stage. You didn’t get to finish your song. “There were so many people competing for their songs to be heard. They were trying to sell songs in Nashville. It’s really discouraging when you’re trying to write a new song, and you think it’s good, but you’re going right after Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. You’ve got to follow that amazing performance — you’ve paid 10 bucks to get your chance — and they give you 30 seconds before they zap you.” When Allan travels, he tries to find a local open-mic night wherever he is and he studies how the show is produced. “I just like playing music,” he said. “But I decided if I was going to do one in my community, in Aspen, I wanted it to be an encouraging, uplifting event. I didn’t want it to be a ‘Gong Show.’”

TO GROW OR NOT GROW

To Allan and many others, open-mic night gives fledgling musicians and singers an opportunity for positive growth. “Music is essential to a healthy community,” he said. The shows typically offer an eclectic mix of performers. Many recent shows have kicked off with a 12-yearold boy named Arthur who projects as much angst in his performances as any of the veterans of the scene. Most of the players are guys in their 20s and 30s, but there’s also Paul Rossi, a bearded RFTA bus driver in his 50s, whose mood is lighter than many of the artists who always deem it necessary to sing about how much they are suffering. The Denver native also likes to tell jokes — or anyone within earshot. “I was so glad I had Monday off in my (bus-driving) schedule,” Rossi said. “That means open-mic. I like strumming and singing. I’ve played guitar all my life and I know a bunch of songs. I’m best around the campfire.” He believes that vocals are most important. “The guitar is only to accompany your voice,” Rossi said. “That’s the way I look at it. You know, I’m in my 50s. Fifty is the new 20.” Dennis Jung, a real-estate agent and professional bass player who occasionally shows up for a few songs, believes open-mic night carries on a musical tradition at The Red Onion that goes back 120 years. Billie Holiday and John Denver are just two of the many musical legends who have performed in the restaurant’s building, constructed in 1892. “I enjoy the opportunity to meet Aspen’s young up-and-coming musicians,” he said. “I like the ability to play

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

bass with several different acts that I haven’t played with before. It’s good ear training and keeps you on your toes.” Of course, open-mic night has its share of imperfections. A lot of players take too long to make their way onto the stage, or they spend several minutes tuning an instrument, or they talk at length without actually entertaining anyone. “My pet peeve is also part of the fun: like the time Trenton and I were playing a mellow tune together and a guy gets up and starts wailing on the djembe like it’s supposed to be a drum solo,” Jung said. “How were we to know he was going to go all Ricky Ricardo on us?” Flaws in the show are to be expected, Allan said. “I’m giving people an opportunity to work on their music,” he said. “That’s my motivation. I’m watching people get better over a period of several years. That’s really encouraging to me.” However, Allan also has a few pet peeves. He thinks a few players are “mailing it in” — they sing the same three songs every week, always performed the same way. It’s easy to fall into an open-mic rut. “I’m not naming names, but several guys have been playing four or five years, and never play anything but the same four songs,” he said. “And one or two of those guys still can’t get the lyrics right, or in the right order. Some guys use open-mic as a way of increasing their popularity, or to meet women. “That’s fine; I don’t care. But you can tell they aren’t taking it seriously. Their music doesn’t grow.”

Travis Blair, a country boy from Florida who lives in the Basalt area, is one of the musicians Allan singles out as having grown musically. He started out at Allan’s open-mic night that was held more than a decade ago at Whiskey Rocks, a former bar at the St. Regis Aspen Resort. Today, Blair manages a similar event at a midvalley bowling alley: the bar inside El JeBowl. He started it about a year ago, with help from Allan and others. Blair also performs regularly at The Red Onion, not just on Mondays. The El JeBowl scene has a markedly different atmosphere from the Monday night event. The room is smaller; people relax on couches. There’s an outdoor patio for smoking and horseshoe playing. A portrait of Richard Nixon in bowling attire looms above the stage. A lot of people show up not only for the music but the $15 ribeye-and-veggies special. It’s cozier, with fewer groups

of people moving in and out. “You get to get up there and work through all your adrenaline,” Blair says of open-mic. “You get past your stage fright.” Blair loves the music but he also enjoys the company. The people who play at open-mic night are a subset of the community, to a large extent. “It’s good to have a peer group,” he said. “Everybody is crazy around here; you might as well be around people who are crazy in the same way you are.” Midvalley resident Dennis Browning performs often at the El JeBowl. To him, open-mic night brings together “a lot of talented people with real jobs.” “It’s near my house, and it’s a chance to get out and meet new people playing live music,” he said. “There are some very talented people writing good music. I started going in August and first played the ukulele in hopes of finding other uke players. I’m still searching for them.” Browning said singing for a live crowd gives him the chance to figure out how he can improve. A regular at the El JeBowl shows is Blair’s 12-year-old pet, “Corndog.” He lays on the nearby couch or on the floor at the foot of the stage as others play and sing, barking only when his owner prods him. “If I couldn’t have Corndog there, that would be a deal-breaker,” Blair said. asalvail@aspentimes.com

REASONS TO QUIT, ANDRE-STYLE For the better part of the last two years, I’ve been performing at The Red Onion’s open-mic night on Mondays. For the most part, it’s been a blast — live music stirs my soul like few other things in life — but it’s time to move on. I’m taking a break, at least from doing my own set. I want to occasionally show up to cheer on my friends and strangers. I might even pick up a bass and back them up from time to time. But as far as being part of the regular lineup, I’m out. Call me semi-retired. I will certainly miss it. Playing in front of a crowd has helped me to grow in several ways. I think I’ve improved a bit over the last couple of years, and I no longer get nervous upon approaching the stage. No one will mourn my absence, really, and there are a lot of regular players around the valley who will continue to carry the torch. I should give a shout-out to Trenton Allan, who has been carrying on the open-mic tradition in Aspen for several years. Even though I’ve been in many bands, from South Louisiana to South Carolina to the Western Slope, he has helped to nurture me (and countless others) along in terms of being a front man and paying attention to dynamics and timing. The reasons for stepping down are many, and some of them are a little on the ridiculous side: •

I need to devote more time to housework. Monday nights are perfect for doing laundry. I prefer not to do chores on the weekends, on my days off, because I feel that’s a waste of good private time. By playing music nearly every Monday, my apartment’s tidiness has suffered. It’s time to start getting down — not to some cool tunes with my redneck friends — but to some deep cleaning. And some more reading time wouldn’t hurt either: There’s a riveting National Geographic article on “Shangri-La” I need to make time for.

•

I’m burned out on “Up Against the Wall (Redneck Mother).” I started singing this Ray Wylie Hubbard composition because it’s a crowd-pleaser. I’ve always liked it and I would estimate I’ve performed it live at least 100 times in the last 18 months. People know it and they sing along with it. When I’m having a bad set, “Redneck Mother” saves the day and gets me back on track. But like fried oysters and chocolate ice cream, it’s a sinful indulgence from which I need to step away. Besides, Jerry Jeff Walker performs it way better than me and you can hear him at the Wheeler Opera House on Feb. 15.

•

I was only really in it for the chicks. Well, that’s not entirely true; it’s the music I love. But I thought that playing open-mic night would improve my standing with the opposite sex, and I can’t say in the long run that it has. Sure, on a few occasions, I made definite progress in that department, thanks to meeting more people, especially locals, on open-mic night. But as is the case everywhere in Aspen, the demographics don’t favor the dudes. And, let me put it this way: If I were a Thoroughbred jockey, my odds of crossing the finish line would be something like 35-1. Every once in a while I can best the competition with a good stretch run from the back of the pack, but Calvin Borel I am not.

•

I don’t have the “pretty” voice required of frequent performing. That’s why I sing 90 percent of everything in the key of E. That’s why I choose songs that don’t require much range. I’ve learned to sidestep my lack of vocal talent by getting twangy with a method that’s fitted to my North Louisiana roots. It’s worked to an extent, but it won’t carry me in the long run. Plus, my voice has been hoarse since the start of the current winter season, and it needs recuperation.

•

When I’m on a roll, I don’t like to leave the stage. When the audience is in step with you, it’s addictive. But sometimes there are a lot of people waiting to play and you can’t get more than three songs. I can see two sides to this dilemma. One is, leave while you are ahead of the game, with the crowd wanting more. The other is, it’s all about me. (Yes Trenton, I am “one of those people” — sometimes. Hey, it takes a bit of ego just to get up there and sing and play without crashing and burning.)

There you have it. Those are my “Reasons to Quit,” so to speak (apologies to the late Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson). There are plenty of people around who will continue in my absence. Call them the open-mic stalwarts: Trenton Allan, Travis Blair, Hank Richey III, Andy Curtis, Julie Wiig, Franklin Mercer, Dennis Browning, Paul Rossi, Hugh and “Tigey” — sorry, I can’t mention everybody and there are a lot of last names I’m fuzzy on. As Robert Earl Keen put it, “the road goes on forever, and the party never ends.” But I need to pull in at the rest stop and stay there awhile. At least until the offseason or the summer when I might return with a whole new set of songs and a fresher sound. Who knows? — Andre Salvail

Andre (top) might be stepping away from the mic, but guys like Hank, Franklin, Travis and Trenton will carry on the torch.

ESCAPE ARTIST | MUSTIQUE

MY, MY MUSTIQUE

THE COTTON HOUSE RESORT EPITOMIZES CARIBBEAN COMFORT WITH FEBRUARY fast approaching there is one thing emerging on people’s mind – March, and more specifically, Spring Break. The thought of warm air, swimming in the ocean and baking in the sun on the beach are at the forefront of many Aspenite’s minds. On my mind, in particular, is returning to the island of Mustique. With all of the hype AMIEE WHITE surrounding the island BEAZLEY of Mustique — its visits from prince and princesses and celebrity visitors too numerous to name — I was afraid I was being set up for disappointment. But my reaction was far from it. This remote West Indies island, a part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is as close to the definition of true paradise as one can find in the Caribbean. Truth be told, it far exceeded my expectations. More than 50 years ago, Lord Glenconner, Colin Tennant, arrived on Mustique and bought the infested and undeveloped

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

island for just £45,000. There was absolutely no infrastructure and Tennant’s initial ambitions were to see the estate thrive as a cotton plantation, however his plans were not successful and he looked for other ways to develop the island. Having given his good friend Princess Margaret a plot in 1960 as a wedding present, considerable interest in Mustique as a destination evolved, and in 1968 Tennant formed the Mustique Company to develop a private island hideaway Today, the island is both remote enough to deflect the casual island hopper, private enough to attract the discerning traveler, and yet rich enough in Caribbean culture to satisfy those pursuing an authentic experience. A night at Basil’s, the island’s only bar, restaurant and nightclub, will ensure that. Set out over the water it is one of the most beautiful and fun spots in the Caribbean. Or a day trip to Macaroni Beach, one of the most undisturbed and pristine beaches in the world. One of the ways Mustique remains so exclusive is its limited

Janu ar y 30 - Febr u ar y 5 , 20 14

accommodations. If renting one of Mustique’s 100 villas doesn’t suit (74 available to let), there is only one small, four-room hotel, Firefly, and a single resort on the island in which to stay — the five-star Cotton House. What was once a cotton warehouse and adjacent landmark sugar mill, Cotton House was built during French occupation during the 18th-century and then converted to an inn by the island’s owners in 1962. The resort itself is comprised of various cottages housing 17 rooms and suites, as well as the separate Cotton House Residence, which has its own butler. Many have plunge pools and every room offers views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The Cotton House is a piece of Caribbean colonial architecture captured in time with the Great Room’s deep, dark mahogany floors, exposed trusses and island-inspired interiors accented in bright hues of corals

and turquoise, all framed by a clapboard and stone exterior. Every Tuesday evening, Cotton House is center stage for island visitors when villa owners and hotel guests gather in the Great Room to mingle over Champagne and canapés. It is one of the most coveted gatherings in the Caribbean with the guest list straight out of the people pages of the world’s most popular magazines. Not that anyone cares, much like Aspen, people visit Mustique for the natural world around them, for the escape from reality, not for who is lying on the beach next to you. I can only count the days until my return to Mustique. I do hope they number only a few. Amiee White Beazley writes about travel for the Aspen Times Weekly.

MUSIC/ART/FILM/LITERATURE

SURFING BETWEEN REGGAE AND ROCK THE FIRST GIG ever played by the Expendables featured an interesting mix of styles. Playing at the Boys & Girls Club in their hometown of Santa Cruz, as part of the city-wide First Night New Years’ Eve celebration in 1998, the band’s set list included the 1950s proto-rocker “Johnny B. Goode,” the surf instrumental “Wipeout,” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by ’80s hard rockers Guns N’ Roses. The show was promising enough to keep the band together. Fifteen years later, the Expendables, who met as high school students, are still together with nearly the same lineup they had in that initial performance. And the band still mixes styles, and has retained elements — hard rock, surf — from that initial performance. But the mix no longer represents a stylistic jumble. Early on the Expendables fused two sounds — reggae and hard rock — in a way that has now become their signature. The end result, heard on six albums and countless concerts, is built on reggae’s staccato rhythms, but also features aggressively shredded guitar licks. It is a brand of music that is closely associated with the California coast, and Geoff Weers, the Expendables’ vocalist and guitarist, has a definitive answer for how that association came to be. “A lot of it has to do with Sublime,” Weers, 33, said from a tour stop in Portland, Ore., referring to the Southern California trio that had a short but prominent run in the first half of the ’90s. “Sublime set off a lot of people’s brains that reggae and punk rock could exist together seamlessly, could be put in the same song, that the same band could play both.” Weers notes that Sublime wasn’t the first band to mix reggae into a hybrid sound. The Police used reggae and punk, but filtered it through ’80s British New Wave. Sublime, he noted, cast the net out a little further by putting hip-hop flavor into its music. Sublime was from Long Beach, on the southern side of Los Angeles. But their impact was easily felt by Weers and his mates — drummer Adam Patterson, lead guitarist Raul Bianchi and bassist Ryan Demars, all of whom new each other during their high school days, and all of whom are still in the Expendables — nearly 400 miles up the coast. “Once it got out there on the radio in L.A. it spread to our town and all over California,” Weers said. Perhaps

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

an even more direct influence on the Expendables was Slightly Stoopid, which also mixed hardcore with reggae. The San Diego group “was like Sublime’s little protégé back in the day,” according to Weers. When Slightly Stoopid launched its own label, Stoopid Records, the Expendables were the first act signed. Weers began playing guitar at 13, focusing on blues, classic rock and metal. “Because the guitar stuff was so cool,” he said. He had his first close encounter with reggae a few years later, through the surf scene. “I had friends into roots reggae — the Meditations, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh. The real Jamaican stuff. And a lot of the dub stuff — King Tubby, the Scientists, Eek-aMouse. They were shown to me through the surf connections, near the beach.” The 1998 album “The Longest Barrel

Ride,” the second release by Slightly Stoopid, was an example of how those styles could be mixed. “One or two of the songs were almost like a cross between reggae and metal,” Weers said. “I thought that was so cool. That set my brain off — you could put sweet metal riffs in a reggae song and it could sound good. We heard it a lot and then started to sound like it.”

recent album, 2012’s “Gone Soft,” pretty much eliminates the band’s harder side; the album is all acoustic. “We’ve gotten more intricate at times,” Weers said. “We’ve learned different styles of music and put that into it while keeping the same direction. We definitely keep the same vein.” A consistent note in their music, no surprise, has been a pro-marijuana

that way.” However it goes, the Expendables will throw their support behind the state. “I’d still come to Colorado regardless,” Weers said. “It’s beautiful. We’ve been coming through a long time. It’s the farthest east we went at first. It’s awesome. It’s like the mountain California.”

Your next call to experience it all.

Adult Stem Cells

MARSHALL

Marshall is an outgoing, very happy, 3-year-old Lab mix who gets along well with people+ other dogs. Super friendly + anxious to please. Great energy and would love to hike with you.

ROXY

Large, beautiful 9-year-old Sharpei/ Rottweiler/Hound mix. Not for the novice dog owner. Very protective of her home + car. Blossoms into a soft, attentive, affectionate companion once she knows you. A great dog who just needs a very responsible, loving home :).

HUNTER

3.5-year-old medium-size Chow mix, found wandering around Aspen. Wary of strangers, but friendly once he knows + trusts you. Loves treats. Needs a responsible owner.

FRANKIE

Very friendly, 6-month-old, black and white-colored, blue-eyed Pit Bull male. Found in Basalt 1/9. We named him Frankie (“Ol’ Blue Eyes” Sinatra) because of his beautiful blue eyes.

MAX

Handsome, outgoing, 9-year-old Siberian Husky. In keeping with his breed, Max is goodlooking and he likes to exercise, but he is not trustworthy off his leash.

CLEO

ZOE

This sweet, mostly blind, 9-year-old miniature Schnauzer female was turned in to the shelter because her owner was ill and could no longer take care of her. Very deserving of a home at this point in her life.

BILLIE AND SPYDER

Billie is a really sweet 6-year-old Black Lab/ Australian Shepherd mix who is great with people and other dogs. She was released to the shelter with her son, Spyder, who is a handsome, 4-year-old Lab/Australian Cattledog mix. He is also a really nice dog— easy with everyone. It would be nice for them to be adopted together, but it is not a requirement. They are both super affectionate!

JIM

Outgoing, energetic, 12-year-old American Foxhound/Husky mix male. Good with people and other dogs. A retired sled dog. Came to the shelter with his sister Jackie (not shown). So handsome!

ALLIE

Beautiful, friendly, soft-spoken 10-year-old Husky mix female. She is a retired sled dog looking for a loving home. She is very outgoing with people. What a cute face she has.

OPEN 7am-6pm EVERY DAY 970.544.0206

BULLET

Large, friendly, handsome, 4-yearold, grey, shorthaired cat found at the Deaf Camp w/a pellet stuck in his cheek. FIV-positive— transmit-table to other cats, but NOT to people or other pets. A very special cat, he deserves a loving home. Must stay indoors.

MOWGLI

Sensitive, 2-year-old husky who was retired early from dog sledding because he suffers from seizures. Fine with people + other dogs, but nervous with new people. Needs an understanding, loving home.

SAM

4.5-year-old gorgeous Lab/Pit Bull mix female. Such a sweet girl. Allie is happy, friendly, affectionate and energetic. Turned in because of housing.

Strong, energetic, black/white 5.5-year-old female Boston Terrier mix with a splash of Pit Bull—larger than a typical Boston. Outgoing + loves people. Best as only pet.
