Claude Bourbon at Wakefield Opera House Sept. 7 Ready for a unique and talented take on a wide range of musical traditions?

Join the Wakefield Opera House on September 7 at 7 pm for a night of Medieval and Spanish blues by famed guitarist Claude Bourbon. Claude is known throughout Europe and America for amazing guitar performances that take blues, Spanish, Middle Eastern, and Russian stylings into uncharted territories. Each year Claude plays more than 100 shows around the world.

Claude has played countless venues, including Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, Colne Great British & Blues Festival, Rock O’Z Arene, Avenches, Switzerland, among others. He has shared the stage in Europe and the USA with countless musicians, Calvin Russel, Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Gary Moore), Jan Akkerman (Focus), Steve Grossman (Miles Davis), Herbie Armstrong (Van Morisson), Jose Barrense Dias and many more.

Now based in the UK, some of this guitarists’ influences allow us a fascinating insight into this remarkable musician: Paco De Lucia, Deep Purple’s Richie Blackmore, Joaquin Rodrigo, JJ Cale, Monty Python, JS Bach and Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, to name a few.

One reviewer even noted that

although “Claude’s roots were in blues, that is like saying Leonardo da Vinci was a painter.” Intrigued? Experience an evening of exploration in the unique ambience of the Thumb!

Here is just a taste of the praise Claude has received over the years: “Claude

Whether you are a Red Sox fan or just enjoy viewing high quality photographs, visit the Gafney Library in Sanbornville to view their August exhibit. Two Pine River Pond neighbors, Susan Trayes and Margery Pearson, are sharing the Gafney exhibit space with pieces representing two very different themes. The Red Sox photos are the work of Trayes and feature iconic Red Sox places and memorabilia. She is calling her exhibit “The Walk in the

Park – FENWAY” which includes photos such as “The Dugout, Johnny Pesky & Ted Williams,” “Retired Ball Player #s (Yawkey Way),” “Mighty Good Seats” and “View from the Clubhouse.” Trayes explains, “My camera takes us to a very old Boston location that thousands of New Englanders revere and long to return to whenever possible. Thanks to the modern advent of high-tech television everyone can get into the games way up

Bourbon is a unique figure today… his playing is almost indescribable,” writes The Hook, Charlottesville, VA. “Never heard anyone get that much beautiful sound out of a J-45,” says Bob from Tucson, AZ. “Do you know what medieval guitar sounds

like? I didn’t either ‘til I hooked up with Claude! This is some cool stuff, and he’s French and everything!” remarks Dolores River Brewery in Dolores, CO. Altadena News, CA, wrote of Claude’s performance: “A breathtaking acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso…”

BBC, UK had this to say about the musician: “…This accomplished artist offers tender, compelling performance through highly developed precision.

His sound instantly creates ambience – from haunting Spanish moods to lyrical, romantic jazz, Claude Bourbon provides both a rich evening of music for lovers, and a real treat for music lovers…”

Don’t miss this opportunity to see Claude Bourbon perform live at the Wakefield Opera House. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12 in advance from Ed Morrison, 522-0126; Angie Nichols at the Wakefield Town Hall Tax Office; Lovell Lake Food Center, Sanbornville; Sharper Image Salon and Woodman’s Corner Barber Shop, East Wakefield.

The Opera House is located at 2 High Street 2nd Floor, Sanbornville, NH and can be found on Facebook as Wakefield Opera House.

I tagged along behind a tour group on a sunny day when the Sox were at an away game and captured familiar and nostalgic spots throughout an uncommonly quiet, highly visible Fenway Park. I hope to spark remarks like ‘hey, I remember that’ or ‘I sat in those seats with my dad’ and so on - so enjoy!” Trayes has provided a handout of Red Sox Retired Numbers and even

includes boxes of Cracker Jacks in her exhibit.

Pearson has named her exhibit “Marge’s Menagerie” which it truly is.

“Ole Goat in the Tub,” “Sunset, Pine River Pond,” “Bingo at the Beach,” “Tea Service” and “Kite Festival” are good examples of the diversity of her work. Pearson believes, “When you catch a glimpse of something in your •Photo Exibit Gafney Library Continued on page 6

Theater = Family in NH’s Lakes & Mountains

Francis and Marion (Cleveland) in Angel Street, 1946; photo courtesy The Barnstormers. summer theater in 1931. Named the Barnstormers for their fast-paced travel schedule, they moved from Sugar Hill, to Wolfeboro, Conway, Holderness, and Harrison and Poland Spring, Maine at breakneck speed. Monday through Friday they played in far-flung places and each summer Saturday evening, they finished with a performance in Tamworth.

They first played in the old Tamworth Garden, a venue originally built for boxing, then eventually moved to the old Kimball’s Store where the troupe still performs in a building updated and renovated through the years. Not only did they entertain, they also taught the ropes to thousands of theater lovers who carry on the tradition today.

It’s an education often reliant on creative magic. Do you remember lines from an old Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney movie that go something like this?

Judy: “I have some costumes.”

Mickey: “I have a barn.”

Both: “We’ll put on a show!”

Early productions in Wolfeboro were often staged at what was then a Masonic Temple under the auspices of the town’s Garden Club. Masonic Temple? Garden Club? Theater is all about turning pumpkins into golden carriages.

A recent Village Players program credits part of the group’s foundations to workshops conducted by Francis Cleveland during World War II. Supplementing his theater habit with chicken farming, the actor used his offseasons to share his theater expertise.

Continuing theater’s mentoring tradition, the Village Players Theater was longtime host to Perform It! Young People’s Stage Company, a relationship said to start with director Jan Helling Croteau’s involvement in Oliver! in 1996. A Shakespearean production company of homeschoolers, age 5-19, Perform It! veterans now create theatre all over the world. This summer alone, their mark is seen on productions at Lake Winnipesaukee Playhouse, where Becky Marsh does lighting and sound design; at the Barnstormers,

“Well, that could be a little intimidating,” I nod toward the front row of the Village Players Theater.

“What’s that?” asks the man I’ve never met before.

“Looking down from stage and seeing an Oscar winner in the front row.”

He peers forward. “Oh? Is Estelle here tonight?” he asks nonchalantly.

“She’s a good friend to this theater.”

The lights flicker, announcing the end of intermission. Actress Estelle Parsons settles into her seat next to husband Peter, and my new friend and I settle in as well. Soon the amateur actors reappear on stage and too soon the rollicking summer comedy finishes to loud applause. * * * It’s a scene that repeats itself with different players in different theatres again and again in New England. The talented and accomplished support the efforts of fledglings. Production teams share tricks and costumes, props and advice. In a rural setting, where the next theater is miles away, theater isn’t business. It’s family.

Recently, I read a social media post from Keith Belanger, music director for Wolfeboro’s Village Players fall production of Kiss Me Kate: “If I invited you to Kiss Me Kate auditions, and you don’t live real close to Wolfeboro, you may be wondering why I invited you . . .

1) You might be able to carpool with me.

2) You might be able to share this audition, for this GREAT show, with somebody who might be interested.

3) You might discover this group is worth travelling for.”

In a world where cutthroat competition sometimes seems the norm, New Hampshire theatre is teamwork, and there is no opposing team. Perhaps it all started with Francis and Alice Cleveland, and their friend director Ed Goodnow, when they began the Barnstormers in Tamworth.

Francis was the youngest son of President Grover Cleveland and wife Frances, who summered in Tamworth.

An accomplished professional actor, Francis and his partners started a

where Diana Evans has taken on PR & Marketing roles; and at Sandwich’s Advice to the Players, where Abbie Cameron passes along her love of theater as Teaching Associate.

Farther afield, Village Players’ veteran Rob Eggers (the Artful Dodger in that same 1996 production of Oliver!) opened his movie Witches to wide acclaim this past spring; Athena Ellis is Production Manager at Playhouse on Park in CT, and Zach Shea, a graduate of the Actors Studio, takes his theater passion to students at the Premier Film Academy in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Cross-pollination goes in both directions in the New Hampshire theater world. Estelle Parsons often attends productions at the Village Players Theater, and when she needed a place to rehearse for her Broadway production of the interactive Miss Margarida’s Way, she approached her old friends at the Village Players Theater. For several weeks that summer, the theater was hers.

I recently ran into a young friend with a formidable singing voice. “Are you auditioning?” for an upcoming musical, I ask. “No. I’m moving. I have a new job,” she says. Then she reassured me, “But I’m going to find a theater there, and I’ll be back to see the show.”

Sap House Meadery Expands, Invigorates Commerce In Center Ossipee Sap House Meadery is bringing commerce and attracting customers to a once-sleepy side street in Center Ossipee.

First opened to the public in 2011 with a small manufacturing and brewing space and a retail shop that doubled as a tasting room at 6 Folsom Road, the Meadery has recently expanded to quadruple its space. Coowners – and cousins -- Ash Fischbein and Matt Trahan purchased the adjacent vacant building that once served as an automobile showroom and transformed the space to add 2,000-square feet of manufacturing and storage area.

The expansion was made possible with support from the Wentworth Economic Development Corporation (WEDCO), in collaboration with the Mount Washington Valley Economic Development Council.

“An important part of our business plan was to be a catalyst for revival of this Center Ossipee business area,” said Fischbein in an interview with Trahan in the newly created Mead Pub, the first of its kind in New Hampshire.

In the Meadery’s case, the owners applied for financing through WEDCO’s Revolving Loan Fund, which provides funding for a variety of purposes including real estate acquisition, machinery and equipment, renovation, construction, working capital, etc. The WEDCO loan paid for renovation of the former auto dealership space, including a new roof, walls, and a special space called a hot box for storing honey, as well as

Sap House Meadery first opened its doors to the public February 2011 with 75 gallons of mead -- the equivalent of about 700 bottles that they thought would last a year. The inventory sold out in nine weeks. renovations to their original building.

WEDCO Executive Director Denise Roy-Palmer lauded the Sap House Meadery endeavor as one with multiple benefits.

“This is a perfect example of a small business’s commitment to their

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO BAIT.

community. Expanding their business into the abutting vacant underutilized property, and transforming it into an aesthetically pleasing property, becomes a destination for residents and visitors alike, and creates employment opportunities,” she said. “WEDCO is proud to be a part of it and having the opportunity to bring this project to fruition in partnership with the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council (MWVEC)” she added.

The owners anticipate that the new space and additional fermentation tanks will increase mead production ten-fold and will eventually enable the

Meadery to hire additional workers.

Currently, aside from the owners, the Meadery employs two full time workers, Katelin Smith who runs the mead pub, and production assistant Evan Henderson.

Since opening the Mead Pub, foot traffic has nearly tripled. Customers can also book a one-hour “Hive to Bottle” tour of the Meadery for $20 on most Saturdays at noon. The tour, guided by the owners, includes samples of some rare mead not generally available to the public, and a keepsake Sap House Meadery snifter glass. Or join Club Mead and get four bottles of mead per shipment every quarter for $55, at a price that is 15 percent off retail and includes free shipping.

The Mead Pub is open Wednesday through Friday from 3 to 8 p.m., Saturday from 1 to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The pub also serves fresh oysters every Friday evening.

The regular menu includes an array of meads, draft beers, mead-based cocktails and light meals including pork and chicken tacos, Plowman’s Lunch, Cheese boards and seasonal specials such as oysters on the half shell.

Sap House Meadery first opened its doors to the public February 2011 with 75 gallons of mead -- the equivalent of about 700 bottles that they thought would last a year. The inventory sold out in nine weeks.

Since then, sales have grown significantly. Almost all of their meads have won international awards from the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition to the Mazer Cup. Distribution has expanded to 11 states including all New England states, California, Arkansas, North Carolina and New York. Customers can purchase

No one captures the spirit of classic hits from the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s like The Hit Men … because they are the actual musicians that helped make those hits happen. Their music, their stories and their craft are embedded in many of America’s most treasured songs. The Hit Men will take the stage at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro on August 19 at 7:30 pm as a part of the Great Waters Music Festival.

Since coming together in November 2010, this incomparable quintet has made songs by Elton John, Sting, Carly Simon, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Carole King, Tommy James & The Shondells, Barry Manilow and many other superstars come to life like no other group by delivering sizzling shows that combine live music, eyepopping videos and reminiscences born from their witnessing and making musical history as it happened.

Audiences are stunned by the group’s performances of “Crocodile Rock,” “You’re So Vain,” “Lets Hang On,” “Sherry” and “Who Loves You,” (amongst many others) and consistently come back to see The Hit Men perform time after time.

To sum it all up, The Hit Men are great players, world-class entertainers, and most importantly, unlike any socalled “tribute bands,” The Hit Men members were there when the actual songs were recorded. Their licks, their solos, their grooves and their

harmonies are embedded into the music and essential to the sound of these records that millions would come to and continue to love.

The Hit Men’s musical history is as big as their talent. Lee Shapiro, keyboardist and group founder has played alongside Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Barry Manilow, Bob Gaudio, and Paul Schaffer; Jimmy Ryan, lead guitarist and vocalist, has played with the likes of Elton John, The Critters, Carly Simon, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney, Mick Jager, John Entwhistle, Jim Croce, and Kiki Dee; Larry Gates, bassist and vocalist, has worked with Carole King, Desmond Child, Phoebe Snow, Janis Ian, and Rick Derringer; Russ Velazquez, vocalist, has been seen with Sting, Carole King, the Ramones, LL Cool J, Luther Vandross, Korn, and Paula Abdul; and Gerry Polci, drummer, as played with Frankie Valli & the Four Season and Barry Manilow.

The Hit Men’s Great Waters Music Festival performance is a part of their 2016 tour, stretching from Wolfeboro to Dothan, Alabama to El Cajon, California. For more information and tour dates, visit www.thehitmenlive. com, @TheHitMenLive on Twitter, or The Hit Men Live on Facebook.

Lakes Region Curling Association Returns for a Second Season With a highly successful first year under its belt, the Lakes Region Curling Association is back looking for curlers and would-be curlers to join its ranks.

The 10-week curling league will start in October at the Pop Whalen Arena in Wolfeboro.

LRCA curling experiences are designed for participants of all ages, for men and women, and for people of varied abilities. Participants in the LRCA’s fall league will be free to organize their own teams of four to six members, but organizers will also create teams for individuals who do not have one already formed.

Started in Scotland in medieval times, curling came to the United States and Canada with Scottish immigrants in the 19th century. While it has been popular in Canada for decades, the game started to explode in popularity in the U.S. after the last winter Olympics.

A game of curling consists of two four-member teams, with each team “throwing” (that is, sliding) eight

While most of us are familiar with the classic sliding delivery in curling, players may also throw their stones using a special push stick that enables the player to walk towards the delivery point and slide a stone without the need to stoop.

Points are allocated to the team whose stones come to rest closest to the center of the house. A team is allowed to hit the opposing team’s stones in order to move them away from the center of the house. Consequently, curling, which has been described as “chess on ice,” is a game of strategy as well as dexterity.

For more information about the LRCA and the coming fall league, check out the organization’s website at www.lakescurlingnh.org. polished granite stones toward a bullseye target known as “the house.” A game consists of six to ten “ends” during which players on the two teams alternate throwing two stones apiece.

“Railway to the Moon” Steampunk Festival on August 20 A celebration of gears and steam technology, Victorian-era corsets, top hats, goggles and more!

The Mount Washington Cog Railway is holding its first-ever Steampunk Festival “Railway to the Moon” from 10 am to 5 pm, featuring exhibitions, performances and vendors. The free weekend event takes place at the Base Station of the Mount Washington Cog Railway.

Steampunk melds the Victorian

age with modern technology, science fiction and a Comic Con edge where Steampunk participants of all ages create a world of modern machines set in the age of steam power. The Railway to the Moon Steampunk Festival is based on the story of The Cog’s inventor, Sylvester Marsh, and his desire to build a railroad to Mount Washington’s summit in the late 1800s – an idea that was ahead of its time.

Marsh was widely ridiculed for his idea

Full Day of Steampunk Activities The Citizens of Antiford, a New Hampshire-based Steampunk community, and Sylvester Marsh with his wife Cornelia will take The Cog back to the fantasy Victorian age of Steampunk. All visitors are welcome to join the Steampunk-themed fashion show at 12:45 pm; see Steamachine Sculptures; shop for a variety of Steampunk-themed products from Steampunk vendors; learn about cycling in the White Mountains from The Wheelman; meet Benjamin West Kilburn, famous stereoscopic photographer from Littleton, NH, and learn more about steam trains and engines at The Cog.

Peppersass is currently onsite, but will be touring the U.S. over the next four years to mark The Cog’s 150th anniversary in 2019.

The Cog Railway, the world’s first mountain climbing cog railway, provides a sense of adventure and history as it makes the spectacular climb up a three-mile-long trestle to the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in the northeast. No matter the weather – sun rain or snow – this once-in-alifetime experience is available May through November. Passengers may choose to ride The Cog in a historic coach powered by a vintage coal-fired steam locomotive or the more modern and eco-friendly biodiesel engines.

The Cog is located six miles from Route 302 and historic Bretton Woods on Base Station Rd. Marshfield Station, NH, and just three hours from Boston.

Picturesque Eaton and the Little White Church

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy The Little White Church/Debra Callis New England is peppered with pretty villages, old homes, town halls and churches. Many say their village town hall or church is the prettiest in New England. But one structure - the Little White Church in the village of Eaton - is indeed known to many as the prettiest church in the country.

That is quite a claim to fame, but when I saw the church on a recent day trip adventure to the area, I had to agree that the structure is really quite beautiful.

I was in the Eaton area on my way to North Conway for some shopping.

I decided to take a turn off Rt. 16 onto Rt. 153 on my way into Conway. My rambling, day-tripping spirit suddenly yearned to go to Eaton, a village I visited years ago.

“Why not?” I asked myself. The summer day was sunny and the scenery pretty, and I had the whole day ahead of me to shop, so taking a bit of a detour to explore was fine with me.

As I entered Eaton, I saw the charming Eaton Village Store, a combination diner/convenience store and sandwich shop. The parking area around the business were full; this is a popular place to grab coffee or maybe sit and chat with friends and neighbors

over breakfast or a sandwich.

I stopped by pretty Crystal Lake and watched two canoeists on the water. It was a weekday and quite peaceful and quiet in the village, the only sounds a car door slamming now and then and laughter and conversation from the couple in the canoe drifting over the still water.

Not far away, near the shoreline, I saw a pretty white church and decided to explore. Because it was a weekday, I expected the doors of the church to be locked, but I wanted to stop anyway. Sure enough, no one was on

the premises, but it was fun to gaze at the exterior of the church. The church certainly lives up to the title of prettiest little church in the country and its whitewashed exterior, tall windows and steeple rising above the village certainly spoke of pure Americana.

After my detour, and a day of shopping in North Conway, I wondered about the Little White Church. As luck would have it, I managed to connect with John Hartman, president of the Little White Church and an area resident. He explained more about the church. “We serve the area as a place to hold weddings or memorials and we also do non-denominational concerts.

From time to time we have guest ministers, but we do not offer services every week.”

The church is indeed a popular place for a wedding and a look at the church’s online calendar shows many weddings taking place in the summer and fall months. “We are closed from January through March, but we do many concerts and gatherings in the other months,” says John.

Historically, the church has an interesting past. For many years, the Freewill Baptist religion was popular in Eaton. It was a strict religion, with men sitting on one side of the aisle and women on the other during services.

Dancing and music making were not permitted and members were expected to tread a narrow path and to live pure lives.

In the 1800s, small communities gathered for worship services wherever possible. The membership was modest, there might not be the means to build a church; members might meet in someone’s parlor, or in the summer, outdoors in a field or other large area.

As membership of the Freewill Baptists grew, a gathering spot was needed.

By 1878, a modest piece of land was offered by a local family so a church could be built in Eaton; by the spring of 1879 the church was completed and would later become The Little White Church. But in the late 1800s to 1900s, the church served the Freewill Baptists.

When Camp Wonalancet for boys was founded in 1921, the campers attended weekly church services at The Little White Church. Other camps followed suit and made church worship • The Little Whte Church Continued on page 15

Amoskeag Strummers concert in the Little White Church, one of many performances held at the church.

• The Little Whte Church Continued from page 14 a summer regularity. By the end of World War II, there was only one Freewill Baptist member of the church and she was in her 90s.

The townspeople began to wonder what to do about the church building and the solution was for the property to be purchased for $1.00 from the Freewill Society. The new church would be called the Community Church of Eaton and an Association would govern it. Anyone could become an Association member. The goal was “to establish a non-denominational, non-sectarian religious group for the maintenance of religious worship, preaching and teaching the gospel and to maintain the truth recorded in the Bible; establish a place of worship;

promote the spiritual, educational and community interests in the community of Eaton”.

In the 1940s, a local minister’s daughter had a wonderful idea to celebrate the Christmas season: a midnight service at the church with candlelight. The idea took hold and the church was full on that first midnight Christmas service.

A former camper returned as an adult to hold piano concerts and this was the start of the many concerts that often see capacity audiences. According to John Hartman, the church is busy with wedding ceremonies, as well as other events such as a Kayaks and Casseroles event in the spring; an every other year August yard sale, an annual meeting in August and in the late fall, many events are held in the weeks leading

Page 15

up to Christmas. In December, NH musicians Dana Cunningham and Carol Noonan offer popular holiday concerts.

The day I visited, I took time to stroll through the cemetery situated directly next door to the church. Dates of births and deaths can be traced back for generations and even though I knew no one buried there, it was interesting to see a real, old-time village cemetery.

Some stones are real conversation starters, such as the headstone with the name Nancy Drew; the stone of William Robertson, who founded the town of Eaton and passed away in 1813 and the inscription for of E. Lydia Robertson, which states simply, “She did what she could.”

I plan to return to the Little White Church when I can make an

appointment with John Hartman to give me a tour of the property. Photos on the church website show a true New England style house of worship with boxed pews, light spilling through tall windows and a quiet architectural beauty near the lake.

The impulsive, day-tripping turn that led me to tiny Eaton and the tranquil Crystal Lake area was indeed a stroke of luck. It led me to a quiet village and the prettiest little church in the country.

For information about concerts and events at the church, visit www. littlewhitechurch.com or call 4471881. The church is located at 2371 Eaton Rd (Route 153) in Eaton Center.
