Riverside Blues Fest features The Flip Tops
Miss Birdie painting being displayed at Anna Arts Center ANNA —A landscape painting by Amy R. Kirkpatrick is the featured Painting of the Month at Anna Arts Center for the months of September and October. The painting has been donated as a fundraising project for AAC and will be offered for sale in a silent auction. The donor purchased the painting from former Anna resident, Fred Garrot of Springfield. Garrot’s mother, Betty, received the painting as a gift from Bess Kirkpatrick. Amy R. “Miss Birdie” Kirkpatrick, who died in 1935, was the daughter of Amy Vance and Kirkpatrick Pottery co-founder, Cornwall Kirkpatrick. She studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts from 1882 to 1883. She also taught at Union Academy in Anna and the Toledo Ohio Academy of Fine Arts.
PROVIDED BY ANNA ARTS CENTER
This painting, done by Amy R. ‘Miss Birdie’ Kirkpatrick, has been donated to the Anna Arts Center.
Her work was exhibited at the Vincennes Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago, the Ohio State Fair and the New Orleans World’s Exhibition in 1885 where she was awarded an Honorable Mention. This spring/early summer landscape has an original date of May 14, 1914, in the lower left-hand corner. The lower right corner has a black
signature ARK, which was probably placed there by Bess Kirkpatrick or another relative authenticating the painting. The painting has an opening bid of $160 and successive bids will be taken in increments of $20 or more. Bidding will end at 3 p.m. Sunday Oct. 20 and the winning bidder will be announced at the end of the afternoon’s
performance of the play “Canteen” which will be performed at the Anna Arts Center. Bids may be entered at the Performance Center or by contacting AAC Director, Lee Hackney at vabchlee@gmail.com or 904-625-1108. The painting may be viewed in the foyer of the AAC performance center. — The Southern

Veteran musicians Randall Bramlett and Tommy Talton raved about the rustic complex. “Both shows were over the top,” Hogan said. “Bramlett, who often jams with the Allman Brothers and Bonnie Raitt, said he has had the privilege of playing major concert halls all over the country and can’t wait to come back here and perform. We must be doing something right. Everything has been great so far.” Hogan said the reputation of the building is spreading quickly. Three artists have already scheduled slots for recording live projects. Part of the attraction is the size. “It’s an intimate setting.

creams from delirious fans will echo through the blistering Southern Illinois air the instant Gary Rossington hits the first note on his weathered Les Paul guitar. Rossington is a rock ‘n’ roll icon. He blazed a trail for the new genre of Southern Rock with instantly identifiable riffs on immortal tunes like “Tuesday’s Gone,” “Freebird” and blue-collar anthem “Sweet Home Alabama.” With his signature black riverboat gambler hat pulled down over his mountain of curly black hair, the legendary guitar slinger will lead Lynyrd Skynyrd on stage at Walker’s Bluff Legends Amphitheater in Carterville at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Opening act Blackberry Smoke takes the stage at 6 p.m. Staff at the venue is treating the event like a SEC tailgate extravaganza. There will be a pre-concert party at the Walker’s Bluff Gazebo, with country music from Murphy 500 from 2 to 5 p.m. A post concert party will be hosted in
the tasting room, with classic rock performed by Dave Caputo. Skynyrd is sure to mix in fan favorites like “Gimme Three Steps,” “What’s Your Name,” “Call Me the Breeze” and “The Ballad of Curtis Lowe,” with title song and other cuts from a new album “Last of a Dyin’ Breed.” Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, Lynyrd Skynyrd has carried the torch for Southern Rock since the early 1970s. They developed a loyal following throughout “Skynyrd Nation” by constantly touring towns of the Southeastern Conference and performing marathon concerts for largely college fans, a blueprint frequently duplicated nowadays by upstart country and rock acts. The band proved chart success is not necessary to achieve world-wide popularity. Skynyrd released only eight singles, cracking the Top Ten only once with debut single “Sweet Home Alabama,” on MCA Records.
S
Founded in 1964 by lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, the Jacksonville, Fla., group labored for more than a decade in the industry and all the hard work was paying off. They were selling out major arenas and had just released a fifth album, “Street Survivors.” Then, tragedy struck. On Oct. 20, 1977, after a show in the Greenville Memorial Auditorium, Van Zant and four other band members were killed when their private plane ran out of fuel and crashed into a Mississippi forest. The magical force carrying the torch for their Southern heritage was gone in the blink of an eye and stayed silent for 10 years. It was nearly impossible to find a replacement for Ronnie, but somehow the band pulled it off by dipping into the first family of Southern Rock and signing his brother, Johnnie Van Zant, for a mini reunion tour. The plan was only for a oneyear series of shows in 1987, but the crowd response was so positive and overwhelming that
Johnnie in now in his 26th year as lead vocalist for the band. While Rossington is the only remaining pre-crash member of the band, the group is loaded with veteran players with major band experience. Rickey Medlocke, who left the band before 1977, is back and sharing guitar duties with Rossington. Johnny Colt, formerly of the Black Crowes, plays bass guitar. Peter Keys joined the band after a stint with 420 Funk Mob. Guitarist Mark Matejka played new country with Hot Apple Pie, before coming to the classic rockers. Drummer Michael Cartellone’s resumé includes work with John Fogerty, Peter Frampton and the Damn Yankees. Blackberry Smoke is an Atlanta-based band formed in 2000. The five-piece unit features Charlie Starr on lead vocals and is best known for “A Good One Comin’ On,” written by Herrin’s David Lee Murphy. They are signed to Zac Brown’s Southern Ground record label.

THE FAMILY: Filled with too much mayhem FROM PAGE 11 Director Luc Besson established his action cred decades ago with “La Femme Nikita” and “The Professional,” and he wrote and produced “The Transporter” and “Taken” movies. But nobody ever accused Monsiuer Luc of having any flair for comedy. The backhanded slaps at French snootiness, softness and overrated cuisine, and his idea of this sort of mob folk adept at violence and quick to use it aren’t
particularly funny. Whatever the source material (Tonino Benacquista’s novel “Malavita”), this feels inspired by Netflix’s “Lilyhammer,” about a mobster hiding out in Norway. Besson & Co. should have learned from that series that the fish out of water / culture clash stuff is where the fun comes from. The violence is rare, for shock value. Here, the mayhem is personal, plentiful and graphic enough to make you wince. Just a bit. The
‘Insidious: Chapter 2’
beat-downs are funny enough in their excess, but nobody in this film “gets what he deserves.” And none of the bystanders in the film’s quite-high body count earn their fate. Besson aims his movie at anyone who’s ever held a grudge at an ill-mannered French waiter or clerk (haughty, and by the way, they would never condescend to speak to you in English). If you like your wish fulfillment payback served with a baseball bat, “The Family” is the French travelogue for you.

The film is rated PG-13 and opens Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and Illinois 8 in Marion.
