Vasen, one of Sweden's most critically-acclaimed acoustic instrumental ensembles, will be joined by fiddle legend Darol Anger this Saturday at Twisted Oak Winery in Vallecito. Maria Camillo, who books musicians for the Twisted Folk Summer Concert Series, first saw

Vasen perform at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz. "I remember sitting in the back row, and being completely amazed by their sound," she recalled. "How could three acoustic instruments have that much presence and power? I'd never heard anything like it. I knew they were going to begood,butIwasn'tprepared for how good, or how funny and charming they'd be on stage. "A week later, I saw them perform with Mike (Marshall) and Darol (Anger) at the Sebastopol Celtic Music Festival. It had been a long time since a live performance knocked my socks off like that. The five of them together were so incredibly dynamic. It was like seeing New Grass Revival for the first time. Jaw-dropping. In fact, one could say that what New Grass Revival is to bluegrass, Vasen is to traditional Scandinavian folk music. They simply take

Vasen it to a higher level." Partly due to their collaboration with Marshall and Anger, Vasen has now performed at countless "I first booked them at Wintergrass in Washington state," said Camillo, who now represents the band in the U.S. "It was in an off-site location in a church, and it was packed to the rafters. It is probablysafe to say thatalmost no one in attendance had seen the band before, nor knew what to expect, exactly. Who were these three tall guys with that strange instrument? After they played

standing ovation. After the first tune! That's something you don' t see very often. I knew then, that if they could win over this bluegrass crowd, they could play anywhere, and people would love them." They went on to perform at many other prestigious festivals, including RockyGrass, Telluride, the Live Oak Music Festival, Vancouver, Calgary, Savannah Music Festival, and many others. The devoted fans at the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival in Indiana loved them so much, they formed a committee called 'Team Vasen" and petitioned the mayor

Darol Anger be their fifth appearance there. It was at Wintergrass where they met Chris Thile and the Punch Brothers. So impressed was Thile and his bandmates, they invited Vasen to sit in with them

for a few tunes at Telluride the following year. The Punch Brothers later recorded one of Vasen's tunes called "Flippen." Thile and Vasen both happened to be guests onA Prairie Home Companion the same night, and performed "Flippen" as the finale. As for Anger, he is a fiddler, composer, producer and educator. He is an associate professoratthe Berklee School of Music. Exceptional among modern fi ddlersforhisversatility and depth,

Anger has helped drive the evolution of the contemporary string band through his involvement with numerous path-breaking ensembles such as his Republic Of Strings, the Turtle Island String Quartet, the David Grisman Quintet, Montreux, his duo with Marshall, and others. He has performed and taught all over the world with musicians such as Bela Fleck, Bill Evans, Edgar Meyer, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Tim O' Brien, the Detroit Symphony, Mark O' Connor, and Stephane Grappelli. Anger can be heard on National Public Radio's "Car Talk" theme every week, along with Earl Scruggs, David Grisman and Tony Rice.

3elly Brea rin s the funk to Mountain Sa e • What:Jelly Bread with Bootstrap Circus. • When:Sunday, doors open at 5 p.m. • Where:Mountain Sage, 18653 Main St., Groveland. • Tickets:$17 advance ($20 at the door), $6 kids • Info:mountainsagemusic.org

Mountain SageSummer Music Series presents Jelly Bread with Bootstrap Circus on Sunday evening. Jelly Bread's musical alchemy blends a dash of alt-rock with soul and funk. The band's playlist is highlighted by dual vocals, four-partharmonies, drum and bass grooves, guitar licks, and authentic organ. Jelly Bread has been tapped to perform opening duties for the likes of Robert Cray, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Big Sam's Funky Nation, Dragon Smoke (members of Galactic), The Motet, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Pimps of Joytime, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds as well as performing on a bill featuring Bruce Hornsby and Railroad Earth. The band has appeared at premiere festivals, including Joshua Tree, Strawberry and High Sierra Music Festival. In between touring, Jelly

Bread has spent time recording at Imirage Sound Lab with Tom Gordon, who has worked with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Collective Soul, Dr. Dre, Boyz II Men, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, among many others. After months of dedication, the band emerged with a their latest EP titled "Lessons Learned," which highlights their signature energetic funk. The band features Cliff Porter on drums and vocals; Dave Berry on guitar, lap steel and vocals; Jeremy Hunt on bass and vocals; and Eric Matlock on keys, organ and vocals. Following Sunday's show in Groveland, the band continues its tour of the western United States. Opening for Jelly Bread at Mountain Sage will be Bootstrap Circus. Formerly known as the Adam Burns Band, Bootstrap Circus combines rock, folk, ska and eastern European influences to create music that is both energetic and richly melodic. Burns' songwriting reflects

his passion for the bluesy melodies of Jack White, the lyrical wit of Elvis Costello and the unbridledenergy ofThe Clash. The band has become known for their vivacious live shows, characterized by playful interaction with each other and their audience. In 2004,Burns moved from

England to California, where he found musical co-conspirators in the form of Greg Archer on bass guitar, Mark Albosta on drums and Kristin Ramsey on violin and vocals. The bulk of the band's new album, "Painted Face," was recorded in one week at Albosta's

house in the Sierra foothills. The concise schedule and isolated setting enabled the band to capture the spontaneity and intimacy of their live performances. Live favorites "Don't Rock the Heater" and the gypsy-romp "Dirty Water" sound fresh and

vibrant. The band unveils a bigger sound in the rich soundscapes of "Sunsets and Shooting Stars" and the cinematic textures of "The Godless Girl." The band plays Mariposa's Art Park on Saturday, Aug. 15, and the River Rock Inn, also in Mariposa, on Sept. 12.

The BandPerry's showat Ironstone isnowAug. 'I1 The Band Perry will be playing the Mother Lode two days earlier than previously scheduled. The band now plays Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11. Due to an "unexpected scheduling conflict," concert promoters recently announced the band had to move their show up from Thursday, August 18, to Aug. 11. The support act will also change from Scotty McCreery to Jana Kramer.

Meanwhile, the opening act,

Casey James, will remain the same.

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, and if you cannot attend on the rescheduled date, refunds will be offered from point of purchase up until the new show day, Aug. 11," promoters said. The Band Perry — siblings Reid Perry, Kimberly Perry and Neil Perry — have been one of the hottest country acts within the past several years. The trio's multi-platinum single "If I Die Young" reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs.

REO Speedwagon, known forsuch hits as "Keep On Loving You" and "Can'tFight This Feeling," will open for classic rockers Boston on Saturday in Murphys. Meanwhile, REO Speedwagon's hits include "Keep On Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling." The band played Ironstone in 2010, and concert promoters said they "are always happy to welcome back" REO Speedwagon to Murphys. Formed in 1967 and signed in 1971, REO Speedwagon has been frontedby iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972. By the early 1970s, the band's unrelenting drive, as well as non-stop touring and recording, jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest.

It carved a path that was eventually followed by Styx, Kansas, Cheap Trick and more. REO rode the top of the

charts with 22 million albums sold in the U.S. and 40 million around the globe, with a string of gold and platinum records.

I' ve been on this island for nine mouths now, and sofarhaven'tmet anyone from home. There isn't any excitement around here anymore from the Japanese planes, because our boys are driving them back. Haven't seen an enemy aircraft foratleastfour months, soit's veryquietnowadays. On our free half day, Sunday, we just put in a lot of "sack" time. My work is repairing planes, and sometimes I am kept very busy. One I am working on now has shot down two Japanese fighters, and seven

others probably. It will soon be in action again to up its score. Wishing you and my friends, both in and outofthe service,the bestof luck. Yours very truly, PVT. Peter "Chessie" Arellano. Dear editor: I have just receivedThe Union Democrat.

Thank you so very much. I was certainly happy to get the news from home. Sorry I cannot reveal my location, other than to say

"FOREST OF MASTS" — During the onset of the Gold Rush most 49ers and their provisions arrived here via Cape Horn. Harbor masters' logs and old photos (see above) account for some 250 abandoned ships anchored in Yerba Buena (San Francisco) cove by June 1849 — 500 by the summer of 1850 — and more than 1,000 by June 1851. As it happened, just about every able bodied sailor and sea captain of these forsaken vessels wasted little time in heading straight for the gold fields to try their luck with a pick, pan and shovel. Result: Countless tall ships fell into disrepair, broke anchor, sank, or were dismantled for salvage. Still others became landlocked as steam-driven earth movers extended the city's shoreline outward to create a deep-water port. Today, the area between Montgomery Street (once the water's edge) and the Embarcadero is a vast graveyard of Gold Rush maritime wreckage, buried beneath San Francisco's financial district. I'm station in the South Pacific. I expect to be home on furlough sometime next month, and I can hardlywait to getback togood oldSonora.Again, thank you for the newspapers. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it Sincerely, P.F.C. L. E. Herivel.

125 years ago July 24, 1890 EDITORIAL — The number of cows and horses that wander over the city, demolishing fences and destroying gardens, are dailygrowing more numerous in Sonora. Owing to the destruction of property in this manner, years ago the Trustees passed an ordinance providing for the impounding of stray stock found within the city limits, and the appointment of a pound-master. The position never has been properly filled, and stock has been allowedtorun atlarge and graze at leisure where it pleases. That it is very aggravating to awaken in the morning and find the unrecognizable remnants of one' s beautiful flower garden from

the nightbefore,isvery apparent to all. If the position cannot be satisfactorily filled, and stock keptoffthe streets,ourso-called pound-master — whoever he is — should be terminated and his ofnce closed indefinitely. Propertyholders can placebarb wire around their yards, or erect 12foot board fences, and hide the attractivenessoftheirblooming flower beds, and probably keep the stock off their premises. It is very evident that something is needed to be done in this matter.

One viewer, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), tweeted that the scene was "gratuitous" and "disgusting," adding that she was "done" with the show. But Emmy votersclearly aren't. On the comedy series side, perennial TV academy favorite uModern Family" is nominated again, along with "Louie," "Silicon Valley," 'Transparent," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and 'Veep." "Modern Family" has won in the category a record-tying (with "Frasier") five times. Besides Hamm and Odenkirk, othersvying forbestdrama actors are Kyle Chandler of "Bloodline," Spacey in "House of Cards," Jeff Daniels &om 'The Newsroom" and Liev Schreiber in "Ray Donovan." In the drama actress field, Henson and Davis will compete with Robin Wright of "House of Cards," Claire Danes in "Homeland," Elisabeth Moss from "Mad Men," and TatianaMaslany of"Orphan Black." Besides Tambor and Anderson, lead comedy acting nominees are Matt LeBlanc in "Episodes," Don Cheadle &om "House of Lies," Louis C.K in "Louie" and William H. Macy &om "Shameless." Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who's won as best comedy actressfor'Veep" three consecutive times, is competing with current movie and TVs It-Woman Amy Schumer for "Inside Amy Schumer," Lily Tomlin for"Grace and Frankie,"Lisa Kudrow in "The Comeback," Edie Falco of "Nurse Jackie" and Amy Poehler &om "Parks and Recreation." The Emmy Awards will air Sept.20 on Fox,with Andy Samberg as host.

character's rape scene.

The series is a contender again for top drama honors, an award that has eluded it since it debuted in 2011. TV academy voters rarely give shows in the sci-fi or other genres the ultimate accolade, with "Lost" among the rare exceptions. The TV academy took a modest step toward recognizing TVs increasing embrace of diverse TV talent, givingbestactressnods to black stars Taraji P. Henson for "Empire" and Viola Davis for "How to Get Away with Murder." "This is what it's supposed to be like. You should recognize actorsand creative peoplein this industry from every level of all colors who do great work," Queen Latifah said. The nominations set up the possibility of a history-making win: An African-American actress has never won the top drama acting award. However, two-time nominee Kerry Washington of "Scandal" was left out this year. "I gotta win! I gotta win for history!" an exuberant Henson said in May when asked about the prospect during an "Empire" panel. Family comedy "black-ish" earned an acting bid for star Anthony Anderson, but failed to gain a best series nomination. Also snubbed: freshman hit hip-hop-family drama "Empire," which was left out of the best drama series category,and series star Terrence Howard, who failed to getabestdrama actorbid. Instead, voters gave nods to favorites such as "Mad Men" starJon Hamm, Kevin Spacey of "House of Cards" and newcomer

Bob Odenkirk for "Better Call Saul." The prequel to the nowconcluded Breaking Bad" earned a best drama bid in its first season out.

Kit Harington in season 5, episode 9 of HBO's "Game of Thrones." The popular show is nominated for 24 Emmy Awards, including Best Drama Series. Gina Rodriguez, the standout Latina star of"Jane the Virgin," failed to get a comedy acting nod despite winning a Golden Globe award for her performance. Sofia Vergara, a four-time nominee for "Modern Family," was snubbed for the second year in a row.

The relatively expansive ethnic diversity that TV offers — compared to movies, which honored only white actors this year — also is in play when it comes to sexuality. "Transparent" and Jeflrey Tambor's portrayal ofa transsexual's life received best comedy series and acting bids. Other top awards are "American Horror Story: Freak Show," with 19 nominations; TV movies "Olive Kittridge" and "Bessie," with 13 and 12 bids, respectively; and "House of Cards," "Mad Men" and "Transparent" with 11 nominations.

The nominations reflect the steadily rising tide of cord-cutting networks. No commercial broadcast network drama made the cutforbestseries,with cable, streaming service Netflix and noncommercial PBS dividing up the spoils instead. "The Good Wife" was the last broadcast nominee in the category, in 2011. Programs getting a last chance for Emmy glory include best drama series nominee "Mad Men," a four-time winner in the category that would be the most-honored drama ever with a fifth trophy. For star Hamm's portrayal of Don Draper, it's a final shot after seven

show nominations for their former shows. "Late Show" was last nominated in 2009 as best variety, music or comedy series and last won in 2002. Colbert's show won in 2014. They' re both getting a break: the TV academy split the variety seriescategory into two ,one for variety talk shows and one for variety or sketch series like "Saturday Night Live," making space for more contenders in each. Joining "Game of Thrones," uMad Men" and Better Call Saul" in thebest drama category are uDownton Abbey," "Homeland," "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black," which switched
