Mazzstock in Marlboro A tradition that began as a 50th birthday party in 2008 has evolved into a genuine homespun festival worthy of a website, on-site yoga classes, art, camping and press coverage.

We’re talking about Mazzstock, the Marlboro weekend festival, named for Lee Mazzola (shown above), who once turned 50.

Mazzstock features many local food and craft vendors, local comedians, face- and body-painting, live art, yoga, hooping and visual arts installations.

This year’s musical lineup is headlined by the Georgia loop-driven singer/ songwriter Zach Deputy, the jam scene star-studded tribute band Gratefully Yours, Woodstock prog legends 3 and the reggae/funk band Spiritual Rez. The lineup goes much deeper, however, featuring our own nationally known the Big Takeover, the return of the Jonny Monster Band and many more.

Mazzstock goes down the weekend of August 26 through 28 at Mazzstock Field at 25 Hampton Road in Marlboro. For info on ticketing, parking, camping options and a complete lineup and schedule, visit www.mazzstock.com.

This three-day, family-friendly music festival has a “pay-what-you-want” entry policy, gathering community to appreciate the Catskills’ natural beauty, excellent local food and drink, a down-to-earth and welcoming atmosphere and great folk, indie, Cajun, blues and rock music. Activities including camping, hiking to the site’s spectacular gorge, square dancing, workshops, jams and singalongs, crafts led by the people from FiberFlame and more.

The gates open for campers to set up at 3 p.m. on Friday, August 26, and performances start at 7:30 p.m. Music expands to three locations on Saturday and Sunday, wrapping up around 7 on Sunday evening, August 28. The lineup includes Baby States, Robert Sarazin Blake & the Package, Tracy Bonham, the Brother Brothers, Paul Brown, Burnell Pines, Caprice Rouge, the Cupcakes, Elijah, Don Flemons, Bill Harley, Connor Kennedy & Minstrel, the Ladles, Love Waves, Lula Wiles, Chris Merenda & the Wheel, the Mike + Ruthy Band, Mister Chris, Ratboy, Jr., Kalyn Rock, Serious Juggling & Comedy and Simi Stone.

E

nvisioned as an annual showcase of innovative and distinguished photography and related media, the LightField Festival officially opened its inaugural exhibition, “Making a Scene: Storytelling and the Real,” last Saturday at the Hudson Opera House. The show presents the work of eight international artists who explore the boundaries of storytelling and the increasing slippage in narrative art between documentary and fiction through photography, film, video and cross-platform installations.

Included in the exhibition are Zackary Canepari’s interactive web series Flint is a Place, which addresses the water crises in Flint, Michigan; the Live, Love, Refugee series by Syrian photographer

Omar Imam; Yola Monakhov Stockton’s multimedia bird studies, In the Nature of Imitation; Wendel A. White’s black-andwhite photographs of former segregated schools for African Americans; Arne Svenson’s visual essay on surveillance, The Workers; and Anastasia Taylor-Lind’s photojournalism covering the Ukrainian conflict.

The LightField Festival will also include film screenings, public talks and a youth photo workshop. On Saturday, September 3 at 4:30 p.m., the Festival will premiere

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Permaculture, schmermaculture Plants are more productive when given room to bask and stretch

I

’ve understandably been accused of being a “permie” – that is, of practicing permaculture. In the words of permaculture founder Bill Mollison, “Permaculture is about designing sustainable human settlements. It is a philosophy and an approach to land use which weaves together microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected, productive communities.” In the words of www. dictionary.com, permaculture is “a system of cultivation intended to maintain permanent agriculture or horticulture by relying on renewable resources and a self-sustaining ecosystem.”

Walk around my farmden and, yes, you’ll come upon Nanking cherry bushes where forsythia bushes once lined the driveway, an American persimmon tree where a lilac bush once stood and other edible plants used also for landscaping.

In the vegetable garden, I preserve soil

integrity by never tilling it; and, in the south field, blackcurrant bushes make use of the space beneath pawpaw trees.

There’s the requisite mushroom yard of shiitake-inoculated logs, free-range poultry, solar panels, a rain barrel…

But no! I am not a permie. My vegetables grow in beds in parallel straight rows (rather than keyhole plantings) and, despite that commingling of blackcurrants and pawpaws, most trees, shrubs and vines here keep to themselves.

Pe r m a c u l t u r e plantings of, say, hazelnuts in tall grass and rubbing elbows with elderberries, seaberries, apples, pears and other edibles become, over time, an unproductive management nightmare, with some plants drowning out others, productivity declining due to shade and diseases increasing from tangled stems creating dank conditions. The paltry output of such plantings are best left for wildlife, who can afford to spend all day foraging for a few tidbits of food. My hazelnuts are grown in a mown strip that,

Agriculture is about balancing Nature’s designs and human will. Too much of the latter is a losing battle. Too much of the former leaves nothing worth harvesting.

for easy gathering, is sheared low as nuts ripen.

Low maintenance is a goal touted by permaculturalists – understandably so. But taken to the extreme, low maintenance means not giving the grapevine the pruning it needs to be a healthy vine yielding the most flavorful berries that are easy to harvest. (One book suggests, rather than troubling with a trellis, growing grapevines up trees; the vines do so in the wild, but such fruit – in partial shade and not easily accessible – can never be high-quality.)

Much of permaculture seems to me to be not only unrealistic, but also no fun.

I enjoy caring for my plants, reaping the gustatory and other rewards for a job welldone. I like the challenge of researching some pest or nutritional problem and finding a solution. I like watching how plants respond to my ministrations, whether I’m wielding pruning shears, a pitchfork piled high with compost or my winged weeder hoe.

Agriculture is about balancing Nature’s

designs and human will. Too much of the latter is a losing battle. Too much of the former leaves nothing worth harvesting.

My planting of sweet corn is very un-permaculture. It’s high-culture: six seeds per hill dropped into compostenriched ground maintained weed-free; timely watering with drip irrigation; hills thinned to three stalks per hill; even stakes to keep the stalks standing soldier-straight.

I mentioned, last week, how my Golden Bantam variety of sweet corn isn’t bantam at all: The stalks soar over ten feet high.

Was it because of my green thumb? No. I now know that it is genetics.

This year I made four plantings of Golden Bantam. The two later plantings are, in fact, bantam-size. Looking over my seed orders, I see that I had planted Golden Bantam Corn, Original EightRow Golden Bantam Corn and Improved Golden Bantam Corn.

Golden Bantam is an open-pollinated variety. As with any open-pollinated variety, various strains might arise – strains that might differ in some ways from the original. With any good variety, the hope is that progeny are monitored to

Nikola Tesla

S

A curious resurrection

ince the mid-’90s, a historical figure has oddly crept into several conspiracy theories. As you can tell from the title, it’s Nikola Tesla.

To hear conspiracy believers tell it, Tesla discovered the greatest secrets of the universe, and figured out how to produce free electricity. But the powers in control knew that they could only make a profit if Tesla’s discoveries were destroyed.

Thus, the free energy that we might have all enjoyed, and which still exists somehow, continues to be suppressed by the government and by the wealthy people who control it.

I’ve now heard this 100 times. And since Tesla was indeed a fascinating person I admire, it might be worth doing our first little biography in years, to offer a more realistic portrait of the man.

Born in 1856 in what is now Croatia, Tesla emigrated to the US in 1884 and soon worked for Thomas Edison. He was very smart, and had a photographic memory. And boy, he was handsome. He had a movie-star charisma at six foot two inches tall, and he weighed only 140 pounds, maintaining that lankiness his whole life.

He left Thomas Edison after a dispute and set off on his own. It was Tesla who conceived of practical alternating current, which changed energy transmission forever. He also produced one of the first radio broadcasts – possibly even before Guglielmo Marconi, even if the Italian got the patents for the blockbuster technology. Still, Tesla astonished a New York City crowd by building the first radio-controlled model boat, which he wirelessly maneuvered in a pool in 1898. It was the world’s first drone.

He ultimately earned hundreds of patents that made him wealthy for awhile, and he accrued enough fame to land on the cover of Time in 1931. Yet a mere dozen years later, after living in a series of upscale Manhattan hotel rooms, he died in poverty. For decades afterward he sank into oblivion and was initially unknown to the next generation, the Baby Boomers, until his recent revival made him virtually worshipped as a sort of mystical genius.

He deserves admiration. Nonetheless, many seem unaware that Tesla wasted endless time with grand ideas that couldn’t work. For example, he was fixated with transmitting electricity through the air. These days we think of his Tesla coil, which ramps up voltage to make hair stand on end or sends lightning-like sparks jumping to a person’s hand. In a similar vein but on a larger scale, Tesla was obsessed with transmitting electricity into every home from a giant tower, and kept trying to broadcast a long-distance current through the air like radio waves.

It was a dead end that consumed large sums of investors’ money. It failed because Tesla didn’t realize that, while radio waves are a form of light, electricity is the motion of little particles. They’re two different animals. Electricity is the movement of electrons, which Tesla was sure didn’t exist. As it turned out, resistance by our atmosphere’s gases make long-distance electrical air transmission impossible. It wasn’t a matter of his ideas being suppressed; they were just wrong. In practice, cheap copper wire carries electricity wonderfully, so inexpensive transmission was and still is commercially viable, and no air transmission is required! If, instead, Tesla had spent a little more early time with radio-wave transmission, he would have beaten Marconi and made himself a millionaire many times over.

Unfortunately, Tesla’s genius was often channeled toward wacky ideas. In his early

He was convinced he could build a camera that would photograph people’s thoughts.

eliminate any off-type varieties – or to look for something that might be better than the original.

So the name Golden Bantam could be attached to the original Golden Bantam, from 1902, or any strain, which could also have “Improved,” “Original” et cetera attached to its name. (Golden Bantam was also developed into a hybrid, Golden Cross Bantam, which, like other hybrids, would be genetically more consistent and ripen in a shorter window of time.)

On the theory that bigger is better, “Improved” was tacked onto the name of the strain of my early plantings. The original Golden Bantam was eight-row; Improved Golden Bantam is 10-to-14row. I should have read the catalogue more closely, because Improved Golden Bantam casts too much shade, ripens too late for my intensively planted vegetables and yields less, with but a single ear per stalk. The original also has better flavor, to me.

Walking down the main path of my vegetable garden yesterday, you’d come upon a very permaculturalesque planting – in the path. The path was overrun

with purslane, which I didn’t even have to plant. Purslane is a tasty, very nutritious vegetable enjoyed raw or cooked – but not by me.

I grabbed my winged weeder and hoed the purslane loose from the soil. As a succulent, purslane can continue to grow (and seed!) even with its roots flailing in the air. So after hoeing, I scooped the plants up to feed them to the compost pile.

experiments with Crookes tubes, he very nearly discovered X-rays ahead of Wilhelm Roentgen. Yet after experimenting with them, he wrongly believed that they were not harmful to health. He also thought that radio waves could penetrate water and detect submarines, which is incorrect. He was convinced he could build a camera that would photograph people’s thoughts.

Tesla believed in the ether. He criticized Einstein’s relativity. He thought that you could boost someone’s intelligence by applying electricity to the brain. He said schoolchildren’s health would be improved by bathing classrooms in electrical waves – and nearly got the New York City education commissioner to agree to it!

In short, Tesla was an innovator, but had far more wrong notions than right ones. And despite him being suddenly resurrected and glorified these past 20 years, he created no technology that anyone would have wanted to suppress – except for Edison, whose competing DC current lost out to Tesla’s superior alternating technology.

Happy deathday, Will Royal Shakespeare Company's Shakespeare Live! screens in Rosendale Theatre on Sunday and Tuesday

E

ven for those who believe that the works of William Shakespeare were actually written by an incognito aristocrat rather than a glovemaker’s son from Stratford, the festivities occasioned by the observance of the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s death should prove enticing enough to lure one into a theatre or two this year. Back in April, the Royal Shakespeare Company hosted an all-star bash in Stratford-upon-Avon called Shakespeare Live! And if you live in the UK, you did indeed get to watch it live via the BBC. Now the recorded show is making the rounds of US cinemas, and this week it will screen twice at the Rosendale Theatre: at 3 p.m. on Sunday, August 28 and at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30.

David Tennant (the Tenth Doctor) and Catherine Tate host a cast of stage and screen luminaries including the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren, Joseph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Rory Kinnear, Anne-Marie Duff and Simon Russell Beale, performing short scenes from Shakespeare’s works.

Big Fez & the Surfmatics this Friday in Poughkeepsie Labor Day is just around the corner, so perhaps an end to the summer of 2016’s sticky, sweltering weather may be in sight at last. But it wouldn’t do to let the season slip away without a wallow in the ultimate panoply of summer sounds: early-’60s surf music! Slip on your loudest Hawaiian shirt and show your dance moves this Friday evening at the Poughkeepsie Tennis Club, where Hudson Valley Community Dances (HVCD) will play host to Big Fez and the Surfmatics.

Dressed for the stage in black suits, dark glasses and fezzes, the band members go incognito when they’re cranking out the beach tunes – possibly because they all have reputations to protect in other, arguably more respectable groups that specialize in country, classic rock and Irish music. In real life, Johnny Fez (sixand 12-string electric guitar, vocals) is John Haggerty; Donny Fez (vocals, lead guitar, guit-organ) is Don Young; J. B. Fez (drums, vocals) is John “J. B.� Guay; and Mikey Fez (bass) is Mike McLean.

Big Fez and the Surfmatics’ repertoire includes the great instrumental hits of the surf scene, including songs by the Ventures, Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, the Trashmen, the Chantays, the Surfaris and Duane Eddy. Big Fez performs many of the great vocal hits of the era as well, popularized by such artists as the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, the Challengers and the Rivieras.

This event being HVCD’s monthly Swing Dance for August, attendees will be invited to boogie as well as listen. Big Fez’s music is perfectly suited to dusting off the great dance crazes of the ’60s, such as the Twist, the Mashed Potato, the Bird, the Monkey, the Watusi, the Fly, the Swim, the Pony and the Limbo.

Big Fez and the Surfmatics’ Celebrate Summer show goes on from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. this Friday, August 26 at the Poughkeepsie Tennis Club, located at 135 South Hamilton Street in Poughkeepsie.

Entry costs $15 general admission, $10 for full-time students with ID. There will be a free beginners’ lesson from 8 to 8:30 p.m. For more info, visit http:// hudsonvalleydance.org or call (845) 4542571.

The wizard of strings

David Bromberg Quintet plays Bearsville this Saturday

C

onsidering how long his live performing career was on hiatus while he holed up in Chicago studying the art of violinmaking (1980-2002), it’s always a great treat to have another excuse to say, “David Bromberg’s back.” He returned to the studio in 2007 – chops not merely intact but sharper than ever – and cut his most recent album, 2013’s Only Slightly Mad, right here in Woodstock: at the Levon Helm Studios, produced by longtime buddy and sometime sideman Larry Campbell. Bromberg returns to this neck of the woods this Saturday, August 27 for a concert at the Bearsville Theater.

If you’ve ever seen him perform live, even once, to say anything more would be preaching to the choir. You already know why Jerry Jeff Walker dubbed David Bromberg “the reason man created stringed instruments.” If the early part of his career was before your time or you somehow otherwise missed it, here are the Bromberg basics: He plays mostly guitar, but can also sling a mandolin, Dobro or fiddle with ease and grace, stunning dexterity and deep feeling. He can slip from one musical style to another in a heartbeat and deliver it with total mastery, from blues to bluegrass, with stops at gospel, R & B, ragtime, Celtic, Tin Pan Alley pop, Grand Ole Opry country, klezmer, rockabilly, old-timey jazz,

David Bromberg

Western swing and just about any other genre that you can think of in between.

Even within the blues idiom, he’s equally adept at fingerpicked acoustic country blues, down-and-dirty barrelhouse slide guitar and Big Band Chicago style.

He has a genius for surrounding himself with bandmates who are every bit as technically proficient as he is; any group formed of former Bromberg sidemen is a supergroup almost by default. The currently touring David Bromberg Band still consists of the core group that cut Only Slightly Mad, including Mark Cosgrove on guitar, mandolin and vocals, Robert “Butch” Amoit on bass and vocals, Nate Grower on fiddle, guitar, mandolin and vocals and Josh Kanusky on drums

and vocals. Besides singing, playing electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin and fiddle, their leader is also a consummate showman with a sly sense of humor. There is never a Bromberg show that doesn’t send the audience back out onto the streets at the end with big grins on their faces. Expect to hear some new material and plenty of road-tested favorites. Expect to be thoroughly entertained.

The David Bromberg Quintet plays the Bearsville Theater at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock beginning at 9 p.m. this Saturday, August 27; the doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $20, $35 and $45. For reservations, call (845) 679-4406 or visit www.bearsvilletheater.com.

Since he left the New Paltz area for Knoxville, Tennessee several years ago, the blues guitarist/songwriter Jonny Klenck has made frequent trips back to the Hudson Valley, each time reuniting the trio he left behind: the Jonny Monster Band, featuring drummer Roger LaRochelle and bassist Pete Newman, both also of Sekanjabin, another seasonal outfit. This year, however, Klenck brings up his current Southern trio bearing the same name, which includes Adrian Lajas on drums and Graham Waldrip on bass.

While he will not have a new record in hand, Jonny was able to forward a few nicely finished tracks in advance of his return. From the fist notes of “My Third Degree,” it is clear that Klenck has upped the ante in the studio. His idiom, as ever, is smoldering, wailing and occasionally psychedelic blues/rock in a Texas vein, with unfussy lyrics regarding hard times and, secondarily, good times. But the huge and tight bottom end of these mixes

and the meaty thunk of Klenck’s guitar make “My Third Degree” and “Boogie at the Bus” sound almost as much like Van Halen in boogie mode (sans the tapping

Live, Klenck has always been a man possessed; and if the new trio plays with even half the empathy and old-school eccentricity of the old trio, then Keegan Ales is the place to be on Saturday, August 27. Shows at this venerable brewery/ venue typically begin in the 9 p.m. range, and there is usually no cover. Keegan Ales is located at 20 Saint James Street in Kingston.

Commissary in New Paltz presents Izzy True, Long Beard & Guilt Mountain this Sunday Ithaca’s four-piece Izzy True plays a good-natured, dry and understated style of indie guitar-pop that conceals some pretty complex emotional source material in its agreeable melodies.

Signed to New Jersey’s pop/punkcentric Don Giovanni Records (the people who brought us such giants as the Ergs, Laura Stevenson and Screaming Females), Izzy True’s eminently likable debut EP Nope just came out this month.

On Sunday, August 28, Izzy True teams up with Team Love Records signee Long Beard and New Paltz’s own indie export Guilt Mountain for a show at Lagusta’s Luscious Commissary, located at 11 Church Street in New Paltz. The show starts at 7 p.m. sharp. The suggested donation is an egalitarian $5. For more on Izzy True, visit https://izzytrue. bandcamp.com.

Club D’Elf plays Marlboro’s Falcon this Friday When you host live music as many nights a week as the venerable Falcon in Marlboro does, you tend to develop a sizable stable of bands who could ostensibly be called the “house band.” And when you set the musical bar as high as this jazz-rooted-butexpansive-and-globally-focused venue does, those bands tend to comprise a lot of virtuoso-grade and daring improvisers. Boston’s psychedelic global electro-fusionists Club D’Elf – a loose collective of expert soundmakers centered around bassist/composer Mike Rivard (Morphine, Guster, Boston Pops) – is one such candidate for the Falcon’s house band.

Rivard’s circle of friends and jam buddies includes some names we all know.

Special guests over the years have included Marco Benevento, Billy Martin, Ryan Montbleau, Mark Sandman (Morphine),

Hassan Hakmoun, DJ Logic, Marc Ribot and Skerik. The big names drift in an out of the lineup as the band drifts around the world. When Club D’Elf returns to the Falcon on Friday, August 26 at 6 p.m., frequent conspirator John Medeski tops the bill; but let us not also fail to notice the presence of the mid-Hudson Valley’s own Grammy-winning guitarist and producer Danny Blume.

There is no cover charge; rather, a suggested donation of $20. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

Third Eye Blind, Parmalee, Hotel California & Chase Rice headline Dutchess County Fair this week A boutique-grade county fair if ever there were one, the Dutchess Country Fair (DCF)’s artisanal instincts are not confined to the culinary offerings. While music booking at a country fair is an inherently crowdpleasing act, the DCF does what it can to keep it fresh. Also, any music other than country rock is a statement of sorts, in and of itself.

Speaking of statements, alt/rock hitmakers Third Eye Blind headline the

11

fair this year with a set on Tuesday, August 23 at 7:30 p.m., fresh off their controversial and combative appearance in or around the Republican National Convention.

Hard-country rockers Parmalee, with special guests Old Dominion, take over on Wednesday, August 24. On Thursday, August 25, the Eagles tribute band Hotel California will be on the main stage at 7:30. Finally, country music fans get some more satisfaction with glitch-country artist Chase Rice on Friday, August 26 at 7:30.

All of these concerts are separately ticketed events, with the exception of Hotel California, which is a free show. For tickets and more information, visit http:// dutchessfair.com. The Dutchess County Fairgrounds are located at 6550 Spring Brook Road in Rhinebeck.

Tracy Bonham “plays” John Cage’s 4’ 33” at Woodstock Artists Association John Cage’s legendary, provocative 4’ 33” is the most famous and most divisive work in all of experimental music. It was first performed publicly by pianist David Tudor at the Maverick Concert Hall in Woodstock on August 29, 1952. This year, on Monday, August 29 at 6 p.m., 4’ 33” will be performed by classically trained violinist, pianist, self-taught guitarist and multiple Grammy Award nominee Tracy Bonham. John Cage scholar Kay Larson will introduce the piece and host a question-and-answer session following the performance. Admission is free.

The concert takes place at the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum at 28 Tinker Street in Woodstock. For more information, call (845) 679-2940 or visit www.woodstockart.org.

Lara St. John & Matt Herskowitz perform at Maverick this Friday In 2015, the virtuoso violinist and Bach specialist Lara St. John teamed with the Albany native pianist Matt Herskowitz to record Shiksa, an adventurous album of 14 traditional Jewish tunes from Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Caucasus and the Middle East, arranged by contemporary composers. St. John and Herskowitz bring Shiksa to Maverick Concerts in Woodstock on Friday, August 27 at 8 p.m.

Tickets cost $45 and $25, $5 for students, and are available at www.maverickconcerts.org. Maverick Concerts are located at 120 Maverick Road in Woodstock.

Wallflowers to play Bearsville next Friday Fronted by co-founder and famous son Jakob Dylan, the Wallflowers might be best-known for the rash of permanent radio hits from their 1996 release Bringing down the Horse, but this stalwart band is now 26 years and six releases into its legitimate rock career. The Los Angeles-based alternative rock band has taken home several Grammys and sold more than seven million records worldwide.

The Wallflowers bring it to the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Friday, September 2 at 8 p.m. The Neil Young tribute band Ragged Glory opens.

Tickets range from $35 to $60 and are available at www.bearsvilletheater.com.

The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

John Hall headlines “A Cause for Paws” on Saturday at Beacon’s Towne Crier Café In response to the recent catastrophic flooding in Louisiana, the Towne Crier Café will host “A Cause for Paws,” a benefit to raise funds for shelters dealing with displaced companion animals in the affected areas.

Old Game Farm in Catskill to host Meltasia festival Labor Day weekend What can one say about Meltasia, a music festival slated to be held at the Old Game Farm in Catskill over Labor Day weekend? It’s weird – an adjective that came out of the mouth of the organizer, Andy Animal, formerly of the Andy Animal Family Band and Cannibal Tribe. He’s the guy who celebrated his 31st birthday by renting an entire campground to throw a party replete with psychedelics, booze and 150 biker punks, meanwhile asking, “What could go wrong?” He’s the creator of

August 25, 2016

the ever-entertaining Sensuous Yankee Candle YouTube spots, wherein he displays his latest haul of scented votives and describes how much he likes the way they smell.

After organizing private parties with a few hundred friends, he’s opening up to the public – the adult public, specifically.

Attendees must be 18 and older. It’s not a kid-friendly event. “We keep it 18 and over,” he explains, “so that if anybody feels like taking their clothes off or anything like that…you know, children seem to keep people from wanting to do that, I’ve learned from past events. This is the second Meltasia. I did the first one in Lafayette, Georgia. To make a long story short, I just somehow wound up doing a party in Georgia. There’s a promo video on YouTube where you can look up the Meltasia experience.”

I asked him where the name Meltasia comes from. “Me and my friends, we always used the phrase ‘getting melted’ as a term for partying. I’ve been doing a more word-of-mouth party at Uncle Pete’s Campground in Phoenicia for the past six years. We called it the Meltdown Funabration. I’d been going to the Old Game Farm my whole life, right up until it shut down in 2006. The place is amazing.

It was built in the ‘30s, so it has really cool old-school vibes. We’re excited to be making light out of a formerly somewhat dark situation. Some people don’t like zoos, for some reason.”

A description of the new location for the gathering is on Animal’s website: “Opened in 1933, the Catskill Game Farm was the nation’s first privately owned zoo, but had been left untouched since its closing in 2006. Empty animal pens and feeding bowls dotted the outdoor space, overgrown and dilapidated. In 2012, a family bought the land and renamed it the Old Game Farm. Now, the beautiful ruins of the 206-acre property will be brought back to life, with Meltasia Music Festival.”

The site will indeed come to life when Animal’s party happens. Attendees can camp out on the grounds or plan to bed down in one of the cool, cheap hotels in and around Catskill. “People can bring in their own food, and we’re gonna have some great food trucks there – like, Pippy’s Hot Dogs makes these really great hot dogs with macaroni and cheese and fish crackers on ‘em, which I look forward to trying. I like food that seems like it was designed by a six-year-old.”

When asked what other kinds of activities there will be besides listening to the music, Animal says, “Drinking.”

Alcohol will be available for purchase.

“What else? We’re setting up a ring toss where you can win beer and other cool stuff, like Meltasia Frisbees. There are goats there for people to see. Just to see this old run-down zoo – like, there’s gonna be a performance in an old monkey cage and little side performances, weird surprises, such as Meltie’s Chamber of Thrills.”

Gates are open at noon on Friday, and Animal has 26 bands lined up to play until Sunday evening, including Shannon and the Clams, Pentagram, Natural Child, Kool Keith, Sheer Mag, Bloodshot Bill, Murphy’s Law, Dirty Fences, Bird Cloud, White Mystery, Vockah Redo,

Hector’s Pets, Mystery Lights, Weird Paul Petroskey, the Tough Sh*ts, Surfbort, Pox, the Nude Party, Dose Man, the Paul Green Rock Academy, Scott Fry, It’s Not Night: It’s Space, Fat White Family, Ultraam, Faux Ferocious, Benni and possibly more.

Check the playlist and schedule on the website for specific times these performers might appear.

“What do you do in life, besides throw together these crazy parties?” I asked the Woodstock hometown boy. “Anything I can get my hands on, really, that I want to get my hands on. Helping out different projects. Am I an artist? I guess, yes, I am. I’m an art collector: old monster toys. I drew a lot when I was younger. I’ve assembled a lot of people to create really cool art projects. I was also a singer, but don’t do that much anymore.”

Now engrossed in event planning, Animal says that he’s capping the ticket sales at 900 “so that we’re not completely overrun. Oh yeah, we are gonna have a bunch of awesome deejays from around the world, too,” he adds. Expect anything to happen. And prepare for three whole days and nights of food, drinks, souvenirs, vintage goods and other surprises.

Camping is free with ticket purchase, and early arrival is advised to find a good spot to set up. Campers should be sure to bring all the necessary camping/ festival gear (tents, sleeping bags, bug spray, comfy shoes et cetera). Showers and restrooms will be available for your convenience.

Most importantly, to really get down and have a safe, kickass time, attendees are advised to see Animal’s rules for a list of what not to bring, which includes outsidepurchased alcohol, pets, fireworks, explosives and weapons of any kind. No unauthorized vending or soliciting will be allowed, and campers can build fires in designated areas only. No “colors” (gang or club logos) should be worn, and all bags and persons are subject to search. Lastly, unless you’re bringing your mother along, you must clean up after yourselves. You are adults, after all.

Jude Roberts to perform at old Glenford church on Friday A fixture on the regional singer/ songwriter scene and about as gracious and gentle a fellow as you’d want to meet, Jude Roberts must tire of making his fellow performers feel kind of bad with his boutique-grade, triple-threat skill set. He fingerpicks with the delicacy, assurance and color of Nick Drake; sings with the bell-like clarity and gentle high end of a lost Finn brother; and writes Anglo- and pop-inflected folksongs with the offhand grace and deceptive sophistication of early James Taylor, Richard Thompson or Sir Paul himself.

Roberts can rock, as anyone who has ever seen him in his erstwhile role as the

MOVIE

The regenerative power of storytelling Kubo and the Two Strings takes stop-motion animation to evocative new heights

R

egular readers of Almanac Weekly movie reviews will know that I characteristically stalk my prey in wide, slow spirals of sometimesvaguely-pertinent sociopolitical/cultural referents before moving in for the kill. This time I’m going to cut to the chase immediately, to give you time to get to the cinema before the next showing of Kubo and the Two Strings: This is not only your humble critic’s favorite animated film of the year; it’s my favorite film of the year so far, period. Go. Now. We can talk about it later.

Have you ever awakened from a dream, its details quickly slipping away, but feeling tingly all over, knowing that you somehow managed in your sleep to cross the borders of the realm of Faërie? That visceral sense of making contact with the magical world can sometimes be evoked on film as well. It’s a rare occurrence indeed, and you know that the movie you’re seeing is an especially good one when it happens – when the tears that come to your eyes are due not to a sentimental storyline, but to the skillful evocation of wonder that can be the epitome of the narrative art of the screen.

Directed by Travis Knight, Kubo and the Two Strings is the latest offering from Laika, the animation studio that previously gave us Coraline, Paranorman and The Boxtrolls – gems, every one. Blending stop-motion characters with CGI backgrounds of extraordinary detail and ethereal beauty, Kubo is replete with magical moments.

The film’s visual aesthetic and its sometimes stately, sometimes sprightly sense of movement derive from origami and Noh drama, the traditional Japanese arts of paper-folding and ritual drama. Story, acting and music aside, it’s such a stunner to the eye that you’ll be wanting your own copy just to gape at it frame-by-frame for the art. (See it on the big screen the first time, though – and maybe the second as well.)

Then there’s the story, a coming-of-age quest that is dark and challenging, full of sorrow and loss, leavened by flashes of cheeky humor. I don’t know if Marc Haimes

house ringer at Market Market’s Tributons will attest. He steps up to meet McCartney, Bowie or Mercury on their own turf and in the original keys while most everyone else is stuck figuring out creative ways around the vocal problem. But his 2016 EP Perfect Shell finds Roberts in his element: live and intimate in a luminous trio setting, accompanied by the fleet and subtle pedal steel and guitar of Rob Stein and spot harmonies, perfectly executed, from Julie Parisi Kirby.

ORPHEUM

FOSTER JENKINS

Roberts is recording a studio followup presently, but Perfect Shell makes you wonder why anyone who can make a live record like this would ever want to do it any other way.

Jude Roberts performs in an ideal venue – HVSS Music Night in Glenford, a few miles north of Woodstock off Route 28 – on Friday, August 26, splitting the bill

and Chris Butler’s screenplay by is based on actual Japanese folklore, but Kubo’s core message has a decidedly Buddhist feel to it: The uplift of the ending comes from the power of forgiveness, not the satisfaction of revenge. It is through our ability to tell stories – to reframe our beliefs and perceptions through words – that we humans are able to forgive both ourselves and those who have done us harm.

Thus do we break out of the violent cycles of history and evolve spiritually as a species – like the way in which the Japanese people reinvented themselves from a militaristic culture to a peace-loving one in the aftermath of nuclear destruction and the humiliating terms of unconditional surrender.

It’s an extraordinary meta-message that celebrates narrative art in all its forms, from village storytellers like young Kubo to modern wizards of electronic media.

We can remake our imperfect world, the movie seems to say, simply by describing it differently. But you don’t need to write or make films for your living to feel heartened in your purpose by seeing it. You can simply enjoy the adventures of a plucky young boy who can make origami paper take living form by playing his enchanted shamisen, who tries valiantly to communicate with a mother who has been irrevocably traumatized by the death of her warrior husband. Kubo, whose left eye was stolen in his infancy by his grandfather, the Moon King, in an effort to blind him to a human capacity for compassion, must confront supernatural foes of terrifying power who are his own kin. Love and loyalty, courage and sacrifice are found in unexpected places in his world, when the resources on which people usually depend prove illusory.

The film is populated with engaging characters, brought to vivid, heartfelt life by an amazing cast of voice actors. Art Parkinson, whose character Rickon Stark recently got killed off in HBO’s Game of Thrones, shows what heights he can achieve when holding center stage as Kubo. Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey squabble amusingly as the two companions on his journey, Monkey and Beetle.

Rooney Mara is particularly chilling as both of Kubo’s mother’s masked twin sisters from the sky, who pursue our hero relentlessly as he travels far and wide in search of his dead father’s magical sword and armor. Ralph Fiennes, George Takei and Brenda Vaccaro round out the cast, and all do fine work.

Dario Marianelli’s lovely score also deserves a mention, adding its own layers of enchantment to the awe-inspiring visual imagery, such as a scene in which Kubo uses his shamisen to conjure a seaworthy galleon out of swirling autumn leaves.

The impressions that this work of cinema leave upon the imagination should prove indelible. It’s a timeless work of art, not to be missed.

RUBY’S MICRO BOUQUETS The moment I laid eyes on Ruby’s micro bouquets, I was smitten. It’s the perfect seasonal craft for all ages, whether you’re camping, at the beach or just in your backyard. Ten-year-old Ruby S. of Kerhonkson explains: “You just take a water tube from the florist that you have around the house, you fill it with water and you tuck a flower or other plant stems through the hole to make a bouquet. That’s it!�

Ruby tells me that you can put pretty much any type of plant inside, because even weeds look cool in this setting. She displays them around picnic tables or in the car, and she even combines bouquet tubes in a pot of dirt for a larger decoration. Thanks for this terrific and fun idea, Ruby! I’d love to see photos of your own kids’ creations: kidsalmanac@ulsterpublishing.com. – Erica Chase-Salerno

Rhinebeck’s Water Oracle offers Tea & Tarot, Kombucha 101 this weekend In East Asia, tea is more than a mildly stimulating beverage; it’s an artform, a meditation, a cure-all, a social unifier and civilizer, a cultural and spiritual metaphor. Elaborate ceremony and symbolism are woven into its production, serving and consumption.

So it makes perfect sense that a Reiki master and “intuitive medium,” Stacey Held, has opened a tea shop in Rhinebeck that also hosts psychic fairs and kombucha brewing workshops. Both will be offered at the Water Oracle: Mystical Teas and Provisions this weekend.

From 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 27, a team of Tarot card readers will be on hand in the tea shop to offer 20-minute divination sessions for $25 each. The Tea & Tarot package includes a free cup of tea and special store discounts.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are suggested by calling (845) 876-TEAS (8327) or e-mailing thewateroracle@ gmail.com.

Then, on Sunday, August 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can delve into another realm of mystery: the world of kombucha.

This fermented form of tea is all the rage these days, with adherents claiming a variety of health benefits from its use.

In the Kombucha 101 class at the Water Oracle, Brooklyn Kombucha owner Eric Childs will share the history, science and health of kombucha brewing and bottling, as well as provide each participant with a SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) to use as “mother” for your homebrewed output.

You might just find yourself developing the invulnerable gastrointestinal tract of a manga superhero! Reservations at (845) 876-8327 or thewateroracle@gmail.com are required for the Kombucha 101 class, which costs $40 plus tax per student.

You’ll also get a 25 percent discount on tea for brewing.

When we sleep in slave quarters, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not necessarily trying to recreate anything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a simple thing to do.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple because all Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing is finding these spaces and getting permission from the owners to spend the night in them. For so long we have tended to neglect these spaces. They are associated with a part of our history weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not highlight. I came up with this idea when I was an employee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation

August 25, 2016

to save places: usually the iconic houses on the hill, the architecturally significant places. But when you apply that definition to Antebellum buildings, they tend to leave out slave dwellings. We focus on where the enslavers lived and tell their stories. But those who were enslaved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those stories we tend to neglect and not talk about.â&#x20AC;?

McGill has stayed in slave quarters in 17 states, five of which are in the North.

While local historical societies in the Hudson Valley have begun to delve into the existence of slavery here, in most Northern states people continue to think of slavery as a Southern issue. Contrary to this popular belief, Northern states were also dependent on enslaved African labor in the 17th and 18th centuries. Slavery was not legally abolished in New York State until 1827. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be my second time in New York. When I interpret what I do, I get the most pushback from Northerners, either through ignorance or denial or both, because they are locked in a thought process of being a part of the Underground Railroad and of sending that army down South during the Civil War to rid this nation of the institution of slavery. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of that history.

A lot of folks tell me where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from, like California or Colorado or Illinois, and they think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re immune to the purpose of this project. But youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to think of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;49ers who brought their slaves to the West to do all the work of mining for gold.

When I take them a little farther back to remind them of slavery that existed here,

people begin to think differently of how the institution of slavery factored into the growth of this nation.â&#x20AC;?

McGillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive background in historic preservation began at the Penn Center on St. Helena Island in South Carolina, one of the first schools built for the education of recently released slaves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a park ranger for the National Park Service in college. After the Penn Center, I went to Iowa to oversee the building of the African American Museum at Cedar Rapids. Then I was employed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

I started the Slave Dwelling Project six years ago. Next month, on the 24th of September, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to open up the new Smithsonian African American Museum on the Mall, and if organizations are not yet telling this element of history, it will become highlighted that places out there need to be more proactive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for all [historic preservationists] to be more aggressive.

A lot of things are coming together here.

Younger folks are coming into positions of decisionmaking to take it the next level.

A lot of times, those who want to tell this element of the slave stories are white young people. They meet resistance from the older white decisionmakers who would rather not go there. But I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a tipping point in our history where that subject matter is becoming a lot more receptive to the listening audience.â&#x20AC;?

When asked how he finds obscure slave quarters around the country, McGill says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They find me, now. This thing has been around for six years. Folks now know that

The one-time All Saints Episcopal Church, reincarnated into the Rosendale Library after the disastrous hurricane season of 1955, might have been turned into a gas station but for the philanthropic intervention of Mr. Cement, Andrew Snyder, and of local organizations.

Celebrating that notion, the library will be holding its annual book sale fundraiser on Saturday, August 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Besides the books, plants, etc., a free book will be given to each of the kids, and there will be a scholarship raffle.

Slave Dwelling Project Reception with Joseph McGill, Saturday, September 10, 5-7:30 p.m., $50/$40, DuBois Fort Visitor Center, 81 Huguenot Street, New Paltz; (845) 255-1660, extension 113, www.huguenotstreet.org/mcgillreception.

I come in peace and mean them no harm.

This project is all about preserving the places so that they can in turn tell the stories of those who were enslaved. This is a vehicle, an opportunity to reignite the discussion and bring it back to life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m that clearinghouse; I have the DNA, if you will. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m that African American that has established this organization specifically for that purpose.â&#x20AC;?

A descendant of slaves, McGill is dedicated to allowing the project to evolve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next month weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a conference for the third consecutive year. And we just implemented a thing called Inalienable Rights: Living History through the Eyes of the Enslaved, which is a reenactment event. We stay in the dwellings and get up the next day, put on period clothing and do demonstrations, lectures and storytelling. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a few grants and obtained some members along the way. Unfortunately, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the silver bullet. I get calls from people who want to preserve a space, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the resources to help them do that. Being a nonprofit, I hope we can work towards that end.â&#x20AC;?

The third annual Slave Dwelling Project Conference will be held at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center at 1101 Lincoln Street in Columbia, South Carolina. The theme of the Conference is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using Extant Slave Dwellings to Change the Narrative.â&#x20AC;? Board members of the Slave Dwelling Project will bring preservationists, slavery scholars, cultural heritage organizations, writers (historic), film producers, archaeologists, architects, structural engineers, founders and property stewards to Columbia to participate in the Conference.

Historic Huguenot Street, along with the 1850 House and SUNY-New Paltz, proudly co-host his first visit to the Hudson Valley. McGill will spend the night in the Bevier/Elting House cellar kitchen with a small group of descendants of Bevier slaves, SUNY-New Paltz students and others. At a special reception, he will share his initial thoughts about the previous nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and talk about his groundbreaking work.

Opportunities

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other-

We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/ business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers.

And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.
