The Brothers Comatose return to MountainSage on Saturday.

Ben and Alex Morrison — on guitar, banjo and lead vocalsfront this string band that has become a national touring act.

With accompanists Phil Brezina on fiddle and Ryan Avellone on mandolin, their high-energy shows have earned them a following in the Bay Area and beyond. This summer the band plays the Kgh Sierra Music Festival, Monterey

Jazz Festival and many other venues throughout the country.

Early last year, the band toured with Devil Makes Three and Yonder Mountain String Band, which led to their own headlining shows.

The band draws from a deep knowledge of folk, rock, traditional and other genres. Stand out originals, such as 'The Scout" and "Pie For Breakfast," have become sing-a-longs at shows. Well chosen covers have ranged from Keith Richards to Cake. They can also slow down the pace with original ballads, such as uMorning Time,"

which was released as a duet with Nicki Bluhm on their current u

album, "Respect The Van.

The group will be joined Saturday by the Rainbow Girls, a group of female musicians who write and perform original material with roots in folk, Americana, gypsy, funk, soul, and rock.

A quartet dubbed the "brotet" will play the next show in the "Twisted Folk Concert Series" on Saturday night in Vallecito.

The group features Samson Grisman on bass, Dominick Leslie on mandolin, Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith oncello.They have been friends and musical confidants since they met each other on the bluegrass festival circuit in their pre-teens.

"All four of these talented 'gents' have played Twisted Oak before in other bands, so I'm really excited to hear what this new combination can do," said winery co-owner Jeff Stai.

"Sam Grisman and Dom Leslie playedhere in 2013 as members of the Deadly Gentlemen, and Alex Hargreaves and Nat Smith visited us in 2014 along with Sarah Jarosz. With the rave reviews wereceived for both shows, I'm sure you won't want to miss this one."

A description of the band's digital album, "The Brotet," statesthe group is"comprised of four of the most individualized instrumental voices in a new

generation of acoustic musicians, and they play together with a cohesion that can only come from more than a decade of musical camaraderie.

"Drawing inspiration from the music of David Grisman, Bela Fleck, Tim O' Brien, Darol Anger, Jerry Douglas and many other luminary new-acousticians, Grisman, Leslie, Hargreaves and Smith have forged a sound that has elementsofoldtime, jazz, funk, free-improvisation, and bluegrass with an energy that is entirely their own."

Their new EP features original compositions from each of the members.

For more information about the Grisman, Leslie, Hargreaves, and Smith, visit brotet.bandcamp.corn/releases.

Twisted Oak's concert venue, at the winery in Vallecito, sits on a hilltop that commands a sweeping view of the Sierra.

Seating is outdoor festivalstyle (first-come, first-served).

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring alow beach-type chair or blanket,and an extra layer of clothing for chilly evening temps.

Dinner will be available for purchase (with a vegetarian option available), along with wine, brownies, popcorn, and soft drinks. Concertgoers can bring their own picnics, but organizers ask that no outside alcoholic beverages be brought in.

All proceeds from children' s ticket sales will go towards supporting music education in area schools.

Wooden quilt blocks began to appear in Groveland thanks to the efforts of Judy Basey, a member of the Pine Needlers Quilt Guild.

Basey was visiting Quincy, Plumas County, and enjoyed seeing the painted quilt squares there so she brought the concept back to Groveland.

There are now two dozen quilt blocks — with patterns such as "Bear Paw" and "Friendship Star" — throughout Groveland.

Also on Saturday, a flyer with the locationsofGroveland's wooden quilt blocks will be available at the Quilt Stroll.

ren Borgquist, who was instrumental in founding the hospice.

At this weekend's show, there will be paintings celebrating the foothills and Sierra as well as other locations in California and a few from Paris.

Waldman said during the past several years, three ofhis family members have benefitted from hospicecare,and thisisa way of giving back.

"Time is a precious gift," he said. "Hospice helps us and our families to celebrate what time we have."

Waldman, who builds banjos along with painting, said time is one of the most important elements of painting.

"The time spent outdoors on-location is where I really learned the most about painting," he said. "The essence of a painting is this time. This is the 'value' that painting gives to us."

TECHN OLOGY

App e Musicbringschangeto streaming, but is it enough'?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)When Apple launches its Apple Music streaming service at the end of June, it will affect things big and small in the music industry.

Hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users in more than 100 countries will get to try the $10-per-monthserviceforfreefor the next three months when it is pushed to their devices with a free upgrade.

They' ll get unlimited access to tens of millions of songs during thetrial,and afterward be required to pay a monthly fee for access, instead ofpaying for each album or song download.

"It' ll change the way you experience music forever," CEO Tim Cook promised Monday at Apple's annual conference for software developers, held in San Francisco.

It could become one more thing that keeps current iPhone and iPad users inside the Apple ecosystem, while enticing others in.

deal-making did result in a betterstreaming dealforrecord labels and artists.

Instead of sharing roughly 55 percent of subscription streaming revenue with labels and artists, Apple will share around 58 to 60 percent. Music publishers in charge of songwriting royalties also saw a slight bump in their cutfrom about 10 to 12 percent to about14 percent ofsubscription revenues, the people said.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deals are confidential.

Tribune News Service

Apple's CEO Tim Cook delivers the keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference, held earlier this week in San Francisco.

Here's a look at some of the

major aspects of Apple Music.

Integration with Siri Subscribers will be able to ask Siri, Apple's mobile digital assistant, all sorts of unusual questions about music, and have any of millions of tunes play back in response.

Executive Eddy Cue demonstrated a few of them Monday, including asking for a playlist of the top 10 hits in the alternative genre, asking for a song from the soundtrack of the movie "Selma," and even asking for the top song from May 1982. (It was Joan Jett & the Blackheart's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll.")

Using Siri's artificial intelligence and one's voice could come in handy when working out, going on a jog or driving a car that comes with Apple's Car Play.

Radio versus Internet In modern times, Internet radiohas been defined by automated playlist generators like

Pandora, Songza and others.

Apple is changing that game by bringing back living, breathing D Js. It plans to run "Beats 1," a live24/7radio station hosted by DJs including former BBC host Zane Lowe in Los Angeles, New York and London. The service will be free to users with an Apple ID. It will also offer standard genre-basedInternet radio sta-

tions, this time with playlists curated by humans, instead of the algorithms that power the soon-to-be-disappearingfeature, iTunes Radio.

Connect Apple is opening a new platform for artists that allows them to release content to fans such as lyrics to an upcoming song, behind-the-scenes video, or even new tracks. Any user can access "Connect" through a tab on the Apple Music app, and can follow artistsand access their feeds.

Only subscribers will be able to

view, save and like the content.

The fact that payment will be required for what might be considered promotional content will be new tosubscription services, but couldcoax super-fans to pay Up.

Recommendations Apple touts its human curation so much, it's making you pay for it. A new "For You" tab will offer subscribers music suggestions based on artists and genres they say they like, as well as what they actually listen to. A team of musicexperts is said tobe behind every pick.

"These people are going to help you with the most difficult question in music: What song comes next?" said executive Jimmy Iovine, who helped develop the service.

Beats Music Apple device users who have bought songs or albums on iTunesneedn'tworry. Their mu-

sic will still be on their devices, and in many cases, still saved to the cloud.

Music that isn't available for streaming but still for sale on iTunes, like songs from the Beatles, can be integrated into playlists. Subscription music can be saved for ofHine listening alongside downloads.

And the some 300,000 subscribers to Beats Music, which Apple bought along with the headphone line for $3 billion last year, will have the opportunity to transfer their playlists over to Apple Music, at which point, their Beats subscription will be canceled.

Better deal for artists Music fans who have read aboutartistsand record labels complaining about the tiny royalties they get from streaming services may have something to cheer about.

Accordingtotwo people familiar with the matter, last-minute

Android Apple is letting users of Google's competing Android mobile operating system use a version of the Apple Music app beginning this fall. But those userswillhave to pay to access Beats 1 and some features of Connect that Apple device users will get for free.

Can Apple catch up?

Observers expect Apple's biggest advantages — its huge user base, ability to sell its services with attractive TV ads, and global reach — will get the service up and running successfully.

Whether it will dramatically raise the popularity of streaming services is unclear. Currently, Apple's Beats Music serves just a tiny fraction of the 41 million paying music subscribers globally.

Russ Crupnick, managing partner of research firm Music

Watch Inc., says he's not sure whether Apple has come up with the rightpackage ofservices to make paid music streaming at $10 a month take ofK 'You' ve got to really change the mindset of consumers to have them say, 'Wow, this makes it worth the money,' " Crupnick says. "I still think you' ll have a lot of people who will say, 'No thanks, I' ll take the 99-cent track.There are a lotofplaces where I can listen to music, thank you very much.' "

CONFIDENCE MINE — Final cleanup at the old Confidence mine was made last week

by C.W. Terry, the civil and mining engineer. All the ore about the site that accumulated during the mine's active operation was put through the mill and several tons of sulphurets (sic) of great value were recovered and shipped for treatment. Soon, nothing will remain to mark the site of one of the greatest and heaviest bullion producers of early days. All its machinery will shortly be disposed of and shipped away. The Confidencewas among Tuolumne County's earliest quartz discoveries,being located in 1853.In the late 1860s, Ben Holladay, widely known as a stagecoach owner and Pony Express man, acquired the property and proceeded to work it on a grand scale. Under different ownersand management the mine was a steady producer — its output estimated in the tens of

millions of dollars.

Editor's note: What little can be seen today of this historic mine and the once-promising metropolis of Confidence (now a ghost town) is located 13 miles east of Sonora on Highway 108.
