oe and Paula McHugh have been crisscross-ing the country for years bringing their showldquoGreen Fields of Americardquo to the heartland
and all that surrounds it
But the stories they tell are not from the road atleast not the highways and byways of the 21stcentury No the stories they tell are ones thathave ben passed down through the generationsCall them legends call them lore call them talltales if you will
Joe and Paula call themselves ldquoThe Time Trav-elersrdquo and their show will take you on a journey
from the 13 colonies to the 1930s when the dustbowl and depression sent folks on yet anotherwestward migration
ldquoWe donrsquot gloss over historyrdquo Joe McHugh saidldquoTherersquos a fair amount of humor some of it is
very touching and all are characters that weretalked about back in the dayrdquo
Like Sagamore Johnson who shaved his beardto collect the gold akes mdash the ones he got fromwashing in the American River mdash to go see LolaMontez perform
Or Confederate General Albert Sidney John-ston who bled to death during the battle of Shi-lo in 1962
ldquoWe give them a real authentic look at the timerdquoJoe said ldquoThere are a lot of real historical anec-
dotes a lot of them straight out legends and talltales Kind of like Mark Twain half history halfTwainrdquo
Joe McHugh was a city kid raised in what hecalls ldquoa pretty rough inner cityrdquo of Patterson
New Jersey When he was 20 he bought a smallfarm in West Virginia and lived without electrici-ty for four years It was there that he discoveredold-time mountain music
ldquoThe people learned tunes directly from theirparents or aunts and unclesrdquo he said ldquoSomeballads go as far back as Elizabethan England Ifell in love with that musicrdquo
And with storytelling which was once very inte-gral to the cultural life of our country he saidAfter having told these stories for many years henow speaks at conferences about the art of sto-
rytelling in the electronic age and how it impactsthe younger generation
ldquoWersquore so industrialized the way we tell storiesrdquohe said ldquoYou make it for me and wersquoll buy it fromyou But people kind of know that this way exists
EXCELLENT ADVENTUREJo an Paulrsquos Courtesy photos
Paula and Joe McHugh play a courtingdulcimer ldquoYou play it together One
plays melody the other harmonyrdquoPaula said ldquoItrsquos a way people courtedYou play together to see how well you
got along If they play well togetherthey might look at each other in a
different wayrdquo

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

By Paul Cambra
THEY GET AROUND
were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Placer County at a place called Blacktop Comedyin Rocklin
ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know
itrdquo she said
Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be
clean The 830 show well they donrsquot try to beblue but they are making this up on the y Theyuse a rotating cast of performers usually eight to10 on any given night
ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmarch-fhe-2015pdf 1928
SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

oe and Paula McHugh have been crisscross-ing the country for years bringing their showldquoGreen Fields of Americardquo to the heartland
and all that surrounds it
But the stories they tell are not from the road atleast not the highways and byways of the 21stcentury No the stories they tell are ones thathave ben passed down through the generationsCall them legends call them lore call them talltales if you will
Joe and Paula call themselves ldquoThe Time Trav-elersrdquo and their show will take you on a journey
from the 13 colonies to the 1930s when the dustbowl and depression sent folks on yet anotherwestward migration
ldquoWe donrsquot gloss over historyrdquo Joe McHugh saidldquoTherersquos a fair amount of humor some of it is
very touching and all are characters that weretalked about back in the dayrdquo
Like Sagamore Johnson who shaved his beardto collect the gold akes mdash the ones he got fromwashing in the American River mdash to go see LolaMontez perform
Or Confederate General Albert Sidney John-ston who bled to death during the battle of Shi-lo in 1962
ldquoWe give them a real authentic look at the timerdquoJoe said ldquoThere are a lot of real historical anec-
dotes a lot of them straight out legends and talltales Kind of like Mark Twain half history halfTwainrdquo
Joe McHugh was a city kid raised in what hecalls ldquoa pretty rough inner cityrdquo of Patterson
New Jersey When he was 20 he bought a smallfarm in West Virginia and lived without electrici-ty for four years It was there that he discoveredold-time mountain music
ldquoThe people learned tunes directly from theirparents or aunts and unclesrdquo he said ldquoSomeballads go as far back as Elizabethan England Ifell in love with that musicrdquo
And with storytelling which was once very inte-gral to the cultural life of our country he saidAfter having told these stories for many years henow speaks at conferences about the art of sto-
rytelling in the electronic age and how it impactsthe younger generation
ldquoWersquore so industrialized the way we tell storiesrdquohe said ldquoYou make it for me and wersquoll buy it fromyou But people kind of know that this way exists
EXCELLENT ADVENTUREJo an Paulrsquos Courtesy photos
Paula and Joe McHugh play a courtingdulcimer ldquoYou play it together One
plays melody the other harmonyrdquoPaula said ldquoItrsquos a way people courtedYou play together to see how well you
got along If they play well togetherthey might look at each other in a
different wayrdquo

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

J
oe and Paula McHugh have been crisscross-ing the country for years bringing their showldquoGreen Fields of Americardquo to the heartland
and all that surrounds it
But the stories they tell are not from the road atleast not the highways and byways of the 21stcentury No the stories they tell are ones thathave ben passed down through the generationsCall them legends call them lore call them talltales if you will
Joe and Paula call themselves ldquoThe Time Trav-elersrdquo and their show will take you on a journey
from the 13 colonies to the 1930s when the dustbowl and depression sent folks on yet anotherwestward migration
ldquoWe donrsquot gloss over historyrdquo Joe McHugh saidldquoTherersquos a fair amount of humor some of it is
very touching and all are characters that weretalked about back in the dayrdquo
Like Sagamore Johnson who shaved his beardto collect the gold akes mdash the ones he got fromwashing in the American River mdash to go see LolaMontez perform

ldquoWe give them a real authentic look at the timerdquoJoe said ldquoThere are a lot of real historical anec-
dotes a lot of them straight out legends and talltales Kind of like Mark Twain half history halfTwainrdquo
Joe McHugh was a city kid raised in what hecalls ldquoa pretty rough inner cityrdquo of Patterson
New Jersey When he was 20 he bought a smallfarm in West Virginia and lived without electrici-ty for four years It was there that he discoveredold-time mountain music
ldquoThe people learned tunes directly from theirparents or aunts and unclesrdquo he said ldquoSomeballads go as far back as Elizabethan England Ifell in love with that musicrdquo
And with storytelling which was once very inte-gral to the cultural life of our country he saidAfter having told these stories for many years henow speaks at conferences about the art of sto-
rytelling in the electronic age and how it impactsthe younger generation
ldquoWersquore so industrialized the way we tell storiesrdquohe said ldquoYou make it for me and wersquoll buy it fromyou But people kind of know that this way exists

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be
clean The 830 show well they donrsquot try to beblue but they are making this up on the y Theyuse a rotating cast of performers usually eight to10 on any given night
ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

oe and Paula McHugh have been crisscross-ing the country for years bringing their showldquoGreen Fields of Americardquo to the heartland
and all that surrounds it
But the stories they tell are not from the road atleast not the highways and byways of the 21stcentury No the stories they tell are ones thathave ben passed down through the generationsCall them legends call them lore call them talltales if you will
Joe and Paula call themselves ldquoThe Time Trav-elersrdquo and their show will take you on a journey
from the 13 colonies to the 1930s when the dustbowl and depression sent folks on yet anotherwestward migration
ldquoWe donrsquot gloss over historyrdquo Joe McHugh saidldquoTherersquos a fair amount of humor some of it is
very touching and all are characters that weretalked about back in the dayrdquo
Like Sagamore Johnson who shaved his beardto collect the gold akes mdash the ones he got fromwashing in the American River mdash to go see LolaMontez perform
Or Confederate General Albert Sidney John-ston who bled to death during the battle of Shi-lo in 1962
ldquoWe give them a real authentic look at the timerdquoJoe said ldquoThere are a lot of real historical anec-
dotes a lot of them straight out legends and talltales Kind of like Mark Twain half history halfTwainrdquo
Joe McHugh was a city kid raised in what hecalls ldquoa pretty rough inner cityrdquo of Patterson
New Jersey When he was 20 he bought a smallfarm in West Virginia and lived without electrici-ty for four years It was there that he discoveredold-time mountain music
ldquoThe people learned tunes directly from theirparents or aunts and unclesrdquo he said ldquoSomeballads go as far back as Elizabethan England Ifell in love with that musicrdquo
And with storytelling which was once very inte-gral to the cultural life of our country he saidAfter having told these stories for many years henow speaks at conferences about the art of sto-
rytelling in the electronic age and how it impactsthe younger generation
ldquoWersquore so industrialized the way we tell storiesrdquohe said ldquoYou make it for me and wersquoll buy it fromyou But people kind of know that this way exists
EXCELLENT ADVENTUREJo an Paulrsquos Courtesy photos
Paula and Joe McHugh play a courtingdulcimer ldquoYou play it together One
plays melody the other harmonyrdquoPaula said ldquoItrsquos a way people courtedYou play together to see how well you
got along If they play well togetherthey might look at each other in a
different wayrdquo

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

By Paul Cambra
THEY GET AROUND
were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Placer County at a place called Blacktop Comedyin Rocklin
ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know
itrdquo she said
Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

oe and Paula McHugh have been crisscross-ing the country for years bringing their showldquoGreen Fields of Americardquo to the heartland
and all that surrounds it
But the stories they tell are not from the road atleast not the highways and byways of the 21stcentury No the stories they tell are ones thathave ben passed down through the generationsCall them legends call them lore call them talltales if you will
Joe and Paula call themselves ldquoThe Time Trav-elersrdquo and their show will take you on a journey
from the 13 colonies to the 1930s when the dustbowl and depression sent folks on yet anotherwestward migration
ldquoWe donrsquot gloss over historyrdquo Joe McHugh saidldquoTherersquos a fair amount of humor some of it is
very touching and all are characters that weretalked about back in the dayrdquo
Like Sagamore Johnson who shaved his beardto collect the gold akes mdash the ones he got fromwashing in the American River mdash to go see LolaMontez perform
Or Confederate General Albert Sidney John-ston who bled to death during the battle of Shi-lo in 1962
ldquoWe give them a real authentic look at the timerdquoJoe said ldquoThere are a lot of real historical anec-
dotes a lot of them straight out legends and talltales Kind of like Mark Twain half history halfTwainrdquo
Joe McHugh was a city kid raised in what hecalls ldquoa pretty rough inner cityrdquo of Patterson
New Jersey When he was 20 he bought a smallfarm in West Virginia and lived without electrici-ty for four years It was there that he discoveredold-time mountain music
ldquoThe people learned tunes directly from theirparents or aunts and unclesrdquo he said ldquoSomeballads go as far back as Elizabethan England Ifell in love with that musicrdquo
And with storytelling which was once very inte-gral to the cultural life of our country he saidAfter having told these stories for many years henow speaks at conferences about the art of sto-
rytelling in the electronic age and how it impactsthe younger generation
ldquoWersquore so industrialized the way we tell storiesrdquohe said ldquoYou make it for me and wersquoll buy it fromyou But people kind of know that this way exists
EXCELLENT ADVENTUREJo an Paulrsquos Courtesy photos
Paula and Joe McHugh play a courtingdulcimer ldquoYou play it together One
plays melody the other harmonyrdquoPaula said ldquoItrsquos a way people courtedYou play together to see how well you
got along If they play well togetherthey might look at each other in a
different wayrdquo

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South
Placer County at a place called Blacktop Comedyin Rocklin
ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know
itrdquo she said
Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

oe and Paula McHugh have been crisscross-ing the country for years bringing their showldquoGreen Fields of Americardquo to the heartland
and all that surrounds it
But the stories they tell are not from the road atleast not the highways and byways of the 21stcentury No the stories they tell are ones thathave ben passed down through the generationsCall them legends call them lore call them talltales if you will
Joe and Paula call themselves ldquoThe Time Trav-elersrdquo and their show will take you on a journey
from the 13 colonies to the 1930s when the dustbowl and depression sent folks on yet anotherwestward migration
ldquoWe donrsquot gloss over historyrdquo Joe McHugh saidldquoTherersquos a fair amount of humor some of it is
very touching and all are characters that weretalked about back in the dayrdquo
Like Sagamore Johnson who shaved his beardto collect the gold akes mdash the ones he got fromwashing in the American River mdash to go see LolaMontez perform
Or Confederate General Albert Sidney John-ston who bled to death during the battle of Shi-lo in 1962
ldquoWe give them a real authentic look at the timerdquoJoe said ldquoThere are a lot of real historical anec-
dotes a lot of them straight out legends and talltales Kind of like Mark Twain half history halfTwainrdquo
Joe McHugh was a city kid raised in what hecalls ldquoa pretty rough inner cityrdquo of Patterson
New Jersey When he was 20 he bought a smallfarm in West Virginia and lived without electrici-ty for four years It was there that he discoveredold-time mountain music
ldquoThe people learned tunes directly from theirparents or aunts and unclesrdquo he said ldquoSomeballads go as far back as Elizabethan England Ifell in love with that musicrdquo
And with storytelling which was once very inte-gral to the cultural life of our country he saidAfter having told these stories for many years henow speaks at conferences about the art of sto-
rytelling in the electronic age and how it impactsthe younger generation
ldquoWersquore so industrialized the way we tell storiesrdquohe said ldquoYou make it for me and wersquoll buy it fromyou But people kind of know that this way exists
EXCELLENT ADVENTUREJo an Paulrsquos Courtesy photos
Paula and Joe McHugh play a courtingdulcimer ldquoYou play it together One
plays melody the other harmonyrdquoPaula said ldquoItrsquos a way people courtedYou play together to see how well you
got along If they play well togetherthey might look at each other in a
different wayrdquo

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

FIDDLING WITH IMAGERY
Paula McHugh met Joe through the old-time mu-sic community She was involved in square danc-ing he played the ddle He was also on the roada lot with his storytelling act
ldquoWhen we got together I didnrsquot want to be leftalone all the time so I learned to play the banjordquoshe said
That was 25 years ago Apparently they didnrsquotneed a courting dulcimer to test their compatibil-ity But they do play one now
ldquoThe courting dulcimer you play it togetherrdquo
Paula said ldquoOne plays melody the other harmo-ny Itrsquos a way people courted You play togetherto see how well you got along If they play well
together they might look at each other in a dif-ferent wayrdquo
Paula looks at ddle tunes in a way not manyothers do About six years ago intrigued by thetitles of these traditional musical pieces she be-gan bringing them to life on canvas
ldquoArkansas Traveler What the heck is thatrdquoshe said ldquoI nd the history behind it The title
takes me to whatever subject it is then I re-search it to nd something Photography onlygoes back so farrdquo
A little more than a dozen of her paintings willserve as a backdrop to their performance All are
inspired by the names of old-time ddle tunesShe will soon tackle folk songs which at least havelyrics to point her in some direction
But for ldquoThe Time Travelersrdquo direction is lesslinear While the McHughs left western Pennsyl-vania for Auburn in 1988 then moved to Neva-da City in 2003 before settling in WashingtonState their journey has been one of imagina-tion and inspiration
ldquoThe whole idea of time travel we think this stuffisnrsquot really gone itrsquos sort of still aroundrdquo Joe said
ldquoWhen you tell their stories they are almost inthe room with you I remember the old men whotaught me the tunes back in the rsquo70s I still feelthem there when I play Itrsquos not nostalgia itrsquos a liv-ing history and we remind people that we own itItrsquos our memory itrsquos our DNArdquo

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

THEY GET AROUND
were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-

Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo

Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo

ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

As the lyrics go ldquoyou can rock it you canroll it you can slop and you can stroll it atthe hoprdquo
Not sure if they ldquosloprdquo anymore and for mostpeople who came of age in the 1950s ldquostrollrdquotakes on a whole new meaning But for anyonewho wants to relive the glory days of school danc-
es mdash decades before bumping grinding andtwerking were to rear their ugly rears mdash then theSpring Hop is the place for you
ldquoThere is always something to do in Auburn in thesummertime but we were looking for a fun mdash andaffordable mdash winter activityrdquo said Sheryl Peters-en recreation services manager with the AuburnRecreation District (ARD) ldquoLast year we had awonderful time and everyone kept saying lsquoare yougoing to do it again this yearrsquordquo
Well theyrsquore back and so are dance instructorsArny Messersmith and Billie Prowant who willlead a one-hour lesson in East Coast Swing rightbefore the hop begins
ldquoItrsquos the easiest dance that I can teachrdquo Messer-smith said ldquoLessons donrsquot require a partner as werotate to give everyone a chance I would say inan hour wersquoll have you dancingrdquo
He said East Coast Swing has about 20 steps asopposed to West Coast Swingrsquos 200 But with EastCoast you throw your partner in every directionand that takes up a lot of oor space But therersquosstill enough room for the Auburn Outlaws rollerderby team to get around
ldquoThey were all over the gym oor last year zoom-ing in and out of people with trays on their shoul-dersrdquo Messersmith said
Those trays held food and drink mdash the local LionrsquosClub will be cooking hot dogs and brats mdash andthe Outlaws will serve as car hops There will bea swing dance contest and a hula hoop contestpoodle skirts aplenty and Frankie and the Fable-tones will provide the music
ldquoYou donrsquot have to come as a couplerdquo Petersensaid ldquoCome as friends come in groups Come inperiod dress Some came last year just to listen tothe musicrdquo
Messersmith suggests leather soles as you slideyour feet a lot and while they are know as ldquosockhopsrdquo less and less people are going shoeless
these daysldquoI grew up with a family that dancedrdquo he saidldquoMy grandmother used to take me German andItalian and Belgian dances in San Francisco We allwent together as a family When I had kids theirfriends at school couldnrsquot believe they were goingout dancing every weekend with their dadrdquo
And though the ARD Spring Hop is a 21 and old-er event that didnrsquot stop the demographic fromskewing young
ldquoThe great thing about last year was that therewere just as many young adults as oldrdquo Prowantsaid ldquoAnd it was the younger dancers who wonthe dance contest Even for young people who
donrsquot dance that much just see how much funyou have when you get out thererdquo
So remember cats and chicks if yoursquore lookingfor a place where you can swing it you can grooveit you can really start to move it hellip best go to theSpring Hop

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

THEY GET AROUND
were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

Mike Amaral has surfed ndash or body surfed ndashin 75 percent of the locales named in theBeach Boysrsquo song Surnrsquo USA
So who better to head up a tribute to the South-ern California ambassadors of surf and sun
ldquoI had always wanted to do either a Beatles ora Beach Boys tribute band because I love themboth so muchrdquo said Mike Amaral who foundedthe California Beach Boys close to a decade agoldquoSo two of my cousins and I decided to go withthe Beach Boysrdquo
Cousins of course just like the original band Andwhile the Beatles are famous for their three-partharmony the Beach Boys sing in four-part andthat requires a lot of practice
ldquoWe have charts taken from the originals and weall have our assignmentrdquo Amaral said ldquoBut youhave to have guys that not only like the BeachBoysrsquo music but are willing to put in the time towork on the harmoniesrdquo
Based in the San Jose and Santa Cruz area MikeAmaralrsquos California Beach Boys play up and downthe coast in Arizona Colorado even Canada
ldquoWe were escorted on stage by the Royal Canadi-an Mounted Policerdquo Amaral said
There are six band members and Amaral handlesthe Mike Love role as lead singer He has playedmusic professionally since he was 14 but tooka break at age 22 to raise a family and pursue asteady career in law enforcement He returned tothe stage in 1995 with an oldies band Flashbackbut the surf sounds beckoned
ldquoI grew up an enormous fanrdquo he said ldquoI went toall of their concerts at the San Jose Civic Centerrdquo
And some of his current audience members may have
been there too At least thatrsquos what they tell him
ldquoAfter one concert and 85-year-old gentlemancomes up to me and says lsquoLook at me Do you re-member me Hawthorne 1964 hellip I saw you prac-tice in your garagersquordquo Amaral said ldquoHe thought we

were the Beach Boys One lady told us she hadnrsquotseen us in 40 years and we sounded just as goodThank you very much I saidrdquo
Another woman told their bass player she saw himplay 40 years ago
ldquoTrouble is hersquos only 38 years oldrdquo Amaral said
But theyrsquoll gladly live with those mistaken identi-ty moments as long as they get to keep playingThey are three cousins and three close friends andthey get along really well Maybe more so than theoriginals
ldquoWersquove got all-white guitars and champagne spar-kle drums and the vertical striped shirtsrdquo he saidldquoPeople love that clean look Itrsquos all about the ap-pearance and the showmanship When we comeout people clap they like the way we look We got
stripes in light blue dark blue red pink hot pinkhellip we change them throughout the showrdquo
The typical audience covers a wide range of agesboth young and old music fans seeking good vi-brations Wouldnrsquot it be nice to be a part of it
Mike Amaral in car founded the California Beach Boys because he liked theirmusic so much The band consists of three cousins and three close friends

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know

Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo

Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

Itrsquos improvisational comedy mdash better know asimprov mdash and itrsquos gaining a foothold in South

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo
ldquoIrsquod been doing it my whole life I just didnrsquot know
itrdquo she said
Enter Paul Burke who for years watched WhoseLine is it Anyway but never for a minute thoughtlsquoOh thatrsquos something I could dorsquo
ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo
Then six years ago he had the opportunityto study at the iO Theater Chicago and at TheSecond City
ldquoI came back and met Betsaida and we foundout we shared an improv vision and we openedBlacktop Comedyrdquo he said

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

ldquoImprov takes an opennessrdquo said co-founderBetsaida Lebron ldquoItrsquos all about saying lsquoyes andhelliprsquo You want to be able to agree and support whois there but not just be a yes man You have tobuild on what they saidrdquo
Lebron started building her improv resume beforeshe realized she was doing it
ldquoGrowing up there were four of us and we werealways doing skits and songs at churchrdquo she saidldquoWe never had much of a plan just a very roughoutline People told us how fun and entertainingwe were and we had no idea that it was improvrdquo
After college she randomly took an improv classand thought lsquowhatrsquo

ldquoI randomly found a drop-in improv class inSacramentordquo Burke said ldquoI began readingand studying about it attended classes in SanFrancisco festivals in Chicago and Los Angelesrdquo

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be

ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

And then therersquos ldquoBelly Laughsrdquo
ldquoA belly dancer was looking for space to teachone night a weekrdquo Betsaida said ldquoWe thoughtlsquohow fun would it be to merge them togetherrdquo
Now once a month belly dancers take the stagewhile the improv performers watch from thewings Then itrsquos their turn to entertain
ldquoOne guy started shimmying and shaking tryingto get into skinny jeans and be a part of the fadrdquoBetsaida said
Improv is all about the inspiration Be it the movesof a belly dancer or a shout from the audience allthe performer needs is a jumping off point
ldquoThe Shorties get ideas from the audiencerdquoBurke said ldquoFrom a location mdash like the beach orStarbuckrsquos mdash or a feeling they had today a lineof dialogue or a text message we will use thosewithin the scene We just focus on creating in themoment Every show is totally differentrdquo
The 7 pm show is for families guaranteed to be
clean The 830 show well they donrsquot try to beblue but they are making this up on the y Theyuse a rotating cast of performers usually eight to10 on any given night
ldquoItrsquos a really diverse group and really they usuallynd usrdquo Burke said ldquoThey come through ourclasses like Teen Playground More than anythingwe love having a team of people who share asame mindsetrdquo
Audience participation at The Shorties isencouraged but not required They promise theywill not pick on anyone who chooses just to sitback and enjoy the show But you may want tooffer a suggestion should they get stuck
ldquoAnd you will get stuckrdquo Burke said ldquoWhen itdoes happen you breathe through it You think lsquoIhave to be funny I have to be cleverrsquo but thatrsquoshow you get stuck in the rst place Slow down

Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

By Matthew Whitley
Hersquos labeled country music mdash and he is mdashbut hersquos so much more A listen through
his catalogue and you hear country rockhonky-tonk swing mariachi Tex-Mex bluegrassand rhythm and blues mdash even a bit of Hawaiian
He even invented a double necked ldquoguit-steelrdquoallowing him to play and switch between electricguitar and lap steel guitar on the same instrument
Then therersquos that voice a deep baritone and astyle that harkens back to an earlier era hellip cleanhonest and un-ironic hellip like the music of George
Jones or Ernest Tubb who Brown has often beencompared to in style
Brown 62 will bring his act to The Center for theArts in Grass Valley near the end of this monthWe had a chance to talk with Brown and we askedhim how he got to be a country music star
WERE YOU EXPOSED TO A LOT OF COUNTRYMUSIC GROWING UP
ldquoNot really My parents liked classical and I wasmostly raised on that I watched the TV and thatrsquoswhere I got into that kind of musicrdquo
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DRAWN TOCOUNTRY MUSIC AS OPPOSED TO THE POP-ULAR MUSIC OF THE DAY
ldquoI was drawn to popular music at the time I re-member when the Beatles hit and then the bandsthat followed Thatrsquos what the teenagers at school
would be talking about I kind of discovered Er-nest Tubb on my own watching the TV I never
told any of my friends as I donrsquot think it wouldhave gone over too wellrdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A SPECIF-IC ALBUM WHERE YOU SAID lsquoTHIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS IS ITrsquo
ldquoNo we didnrsquot buy albums back then And a coun-try album I wouldnrsquot have any idea as to whereto buy that So it was all television I watched Er-nest Tubbrsquos show and then the Buck Owens show
Jimmy Dean had a show that came out of Wash-ington DC I would eventually buy an album ofa rock person or something but those were ex-pensive and I didnrsquot have any money I would buysingles once in a while you know the little 45 andagain it wasnrsquot country as I wouldnrsquot know whereto buy onerdquo
DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOUPERFORMED
ldquoYes It was at a Boys Scout Jamboree at AndrewsAir Force Base in Maryland I was about 8 or 10years old and I was strolling around the differentcamp sites me and another guy sort of like min-strels which is what we sort of felt like doing Lit-tle did I know that is what I would be doing forthe rest of my life Anyway we stopped at one ofthese campsites and it was the top brass of theJamboree They said lsquocome on down tonight andperformrsquo So we actually got a stage with a micro-
phone and there was about 7000 Boy Scouts outthere and I was hooked I have been chasing thebright lights ever since I still get nervous perform-ing but I donrsquot think I was nervous that night I justremembered being thrilledrdquo
THE SOUND YOU HAVE IS ALMOST CLASSICCOUNTRY VERY UNGUARDED AND SINGINGSTRAIGHT TO THE AUDIENCE
ldquoWhatrsquos good about the older music is itrsquos very di-
rect and honest and it had sentiment in there thatwas considered corny but the cornball is part ofthe honesty itrsquos part of the lsquohey this is how I feelrsquoyou know My music is not just limited to countryIrsquom not a purist in any way I just like signing to anaudience and singing your heart out You knowhow blues tells the audience that you feel badCountry will tell you how you got thererdquo
I FIRST HEARD YOU ON THE CHRIS ISAAKSHOW IN THE LATE rsquo80S EARLY rsquo90S WITH
KD LANG IT WAS MODERN AND BEAUTIFULCOUNTRY MUSIC AND I REMEMBER YOU BE-ING A PART OF THAT SOUND WHEN IT CAMEOUT WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON COUNTRY MU-SIC NOW
ldquoOh itrsquos the same take Irsquove had on it since thelate rsquo60s Everybody talks about what their idea
of country music is and everybody has a differ-ent idea Country music can mean anything nowWhat I do now is label mine as lsquoginger brown guit-steel musicrsquo Itrsquos a combination of all types of mu-sic mdash country rock and some othersrdquo
AMERICA IS SUCH A BLEND OF DIFFERENTPEOPLE IT STANDS TO REASON THAT MUSIC WOULD REPRESENT THAT AS WELL
ldquoYes When I do something I try and do it in an
honest way and give the song what it requiresWhen I say I have a lot of styles in my music itdoesnrsquot mean I use them all at once People loveto see me go nuts on that guitar but you haveto do what the song calls for Now the problemcomes when yoursquore trying to do everything onevery song all the time You never get anywherethat way There are guys out there that say lsquoOK Ican play an Ernest Tubbrsquos song and put a BB Kingblues guitar solo in itrsquo and feel like they have re-
ally discovered something and to me that is notsaying anything You havenrsquot done anything butwater down a good song Not that I donrsquot like BBKing he just does not mix well with Ernest TubbThatrsquos where musicianship comes inrdquo
WHAT DO YOU THINK CONTRIBUTED MOSTTO YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC
ldquoCovering other peoplersquos songs and working withother people Working in the country and western
clubs doing country songs that were popular atthe time A lot of them I didnrsquot like but I playedthem as best as I could And then I started writ-ing songs which really put me in another place Icould really be myself I wasnrsquot a cover artist any-more Most of the stuff on my records are stuffthat Irsquove written so Irsquom very proud of thatrdquo
DOES SONG WRITING COME EASY TO YOUOR IS IT A DIFFICULT PROCESS
ldquoItrsquos very difcult More difcult than one maythink Itrsquos easy to write bad songs and hard towrite good ones I have thrown away over half ofthem I could put several weeks into a song that just isnrsquot any goodrdquo
HOW DID YOU COME TO INVENT THE GUIT-STEEL
ldquoMichael Stephens of Stephens Guitars theymake them and we have sold a few of them I have
seen a couple of people playing them and itrsquos kindof strange like watching somebody dance withyour wife lsquoWait a minute yoursquore not supposed tobe holding that mdash thatrsquos my instrumentrsquordquo

httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmarch-fhe-2015pdf 1928
SO ITrsquoS A BLEND OF TWO TYPES OFGUITAR SOUND
ldquoNo they are two complete and differentinstruments You have the guitar neck and thesteel guitar neck so I am switching instrumentsas I sing I am basically doing the part of threeguys on stage hellip singing guitar and steel guitarPut a little foot pedal down there on a bass drum and Icould be a one man bandrdquo
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN FILMS AND TELE-VISION
ldquoPeople who are fans ask me to do it Vince Gilliganliked what I did so he asked me to be on the X-FilesGilligan did Breaking Bad and is now doing BetterCall Saulrdquo
BETTER CALL SAUL DEBUTED RECENTLY ANDBECAME THE MOST WATCHED CABLE SHOWIN HISTORY FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLIONPEOPLE HEARD YOUR THEME SONG THIS PAST WEEKEND
ldquoWell I didnrsquot play on the show they aired it rightafter they nished Breaking Bad as a promotion forsomething It wasnrsquot a theme song to the series Vincehad actually wrote it with three of his friends A verywell-written song written with me in mind I was veryattered by that We just got back from the premier inLA did the red carpet played the party and showed themovie It was a lot of funrdquo
SO WHAT SHOULD YOUR FANS EXPECT WHEN
YOU PERFORM AT THE CENTER FOR THE ARTSIN GRASS VALLEY
ldquoOh a unique experience I guess I mean I just domy own thing and if they havenrsquot seen me beforethey will be pleasantly surprised mdash itrsquos original I ambringing a full band including my wife who playsrhythm guitarrdquo

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the

They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill

And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

Elaine Bromka received a letter from agentleman who attended her one-wom-an show ldquoTea for Threerdquo and wrote that
when she took her curtain call he asked theperson next to him where the other two ac-tresses were
ldquoIt wasnrsquot the rst time Irsquod heard thatrdquo Bromkasaid ldquoI am nding the essence of each womanI have a feeling of each voice but I really go forwhere the energy originates moves throughthe bodyrdquo
The three bodies she inhabits on stage belongto three former rst ladies mdash Lady Bird John -son Pat Nixon and Betty Ford The play which
she co-wrote with Eric H Weinberger is a char-acter study that is both funny and moving
ldquoItrsquos really an exploration of what it was liketo suddenly wake up and yoursquore in the WhiteHouserdquo Bromka said ldquoIn two of those cases itwas really suddenrdquo
Bromka a veteran of stage and screen mdashboth large and small mdash recently worked withlegendary impressionist Rich Little in the PBSshow ldquoThe Presidentsrdquo where she starred aseight rst ladies opposite Littlersquos commandersin chief
ldquoRich and I were out at lunch and he was sittingthere staring at his hands and I asked lsquowhat areyou doingrsquordquo she said ldquoHe said lsquoReagan holdshis thumbs like this like a bearrsquordquo
Itrsquos the little things that make or break a good
impersonation she learned While not neces-sarily an impressionist herself she is a peoplewatcher mdash and listener mdash and in two years shespent with the National Theatre of the Deaf shelearned a lot about the non-verbal
ldquoThe body doesnrsquot lierdquo she said
Bromka went to the museum of TV and radioand studied video tapes of all three women
Doing so she said she learned a lot about theirpersonalities
ldquoAll three were very smart and easy to underes-timaterdquo Bromka said ldquoFor Lady Bird imaginefollowing in the footsteps of a star She was not
as glamorous as Jackie but she did wonderfulthings with Head Start and beauticationrdquo
Pat Nixon she said was harder because sherarely opened her mouth
ldquoThey called her lsquoPlastic Patrsquordquo she said ldquoThatrsquosnot plastic those are the eyes of a very guard-ed watchful person Someone who experi-enced a lot of pain They say she was one ofthe warmest rst ladies one-on-one Pat wentto 80 countries on her own as a one-on-oneambassador she just didnrsquot want to get in frontof groupsrdquo
And then therersquos Betty Ford
ldquoBetty was a live wire she said whatever shethoughtrdquo Bromka said ldquoBut Betty broke openhuge issues like womenrsquos rights and breastcancer awarenessrdquo
Many of the lines in the play are direct quotesfrom the rst ladies She said while the playcovers a lot of ground itrsquos not by any means ahistory lesson
ldquoThis is really a Valentine to all threerdquo Bromkasaid ldquoItrsquos a human story about the human el-ement One audience member said lsquoit lets youwalk in their shoesrsquordquo

Whether yoursquore familiar with Chek-hov not too familiar or you think hersquosthe guy who sat next to Sulu on the
Starship Enterprise it doesnrsquot matter Chances areyoursquoll like this play
ldquoThe playwright said he took Chekhov and puthim in a blenderrdquo Jeffrey Mason said ldquoYou donrsquotneed to have any Chekhov background to un-derstand or enjoy this play but if you do Therersquosmore fun to be hadrdquo
Mason is directing the Sierra Stages production ofldquoVanya and Sonia and Masha and Spikerdquo a 2013Tony Award-winning play by Christopher DurangThe characterrsquos names are all from Anton Chekhovplays The mood is very ldquoChekhovianrdquo mdash sad andlonely characters in a country house a visitor com-ing and shaking things up mdash but really folks you
donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

donrsquot need to know Chekhov to enjoy this playldquoItrsquos funnyrdquo Mason said ldquoThe situations are fun-ny the characters are funny they are dealing withproblems anybody can relate to Family issues Itrsquosa very well-crafted playrdquo
He said it is the single most popular play on theregional theater circuit this season with no lessthan 27 different productions
ldquoI donrsquot know of another play that has been thispopular this soonrdquo Mason said ldquoEverybody is en- joying it everywhererdquo
Robert Rossman plays Vanya ldquoprobably the san-
est one of them allrdquo he said
Vanya is in his 50s lives with his adopted sister isnot very sociable doesnrsquot go out and has neverheld a job And hersquos the sane one
But to his defense he and his sister have been tak-ing care of their parent who both had Alzheimerrsquosdisease Now that they are gone their other sis-ter who has been supporting the family throughher career as an actress is coming home That
ratchets the dysfunction meter up a few notchesldquoMasha doesnrsquot come home very often but thistime she comes home and tells them she is goingto sell the houserdquo said Susan Mason who playsMasha ldquoThey have never lived anywhere else
They donrsquot know how to live anywhere elserdquo
And Masha brings her very young boyfriendSpike home with her fueling the jealousy be-tween her and her plain sheltered adopted sister
ldquoSonia is a kind of the pathetic onerdquo said actressSharon Winegar ldquoShe plays pathetic but she isnot truly pathetic She likes to wallow in self pitybut at the same time she is very sweet and charm-ing in her misery She has wonderful things hap-pen to her throughout the course of the play Yound yourself rooting for her adoring herrdquo
None of the three principal players can fully re-late to the sibling rivalry of Vanya and Sonia andMasha Winegar got along quite well with her sis-ters and Mason is an only child But Rossman seeshimself as sort of the eccentric in the family
ldquoThey all have normal kinds of jobs and look atme as the guy who does all of the weird theatricalstuffrdquo he said
Much to the delight of the director
ldquoI could have cast the play two or three timesrdquoJeffrey Mason said ldquoIt was an unusually stronggroup who auditioned I consider myself verylucky in a relatively small town like ours the num-ber of people that are involved in theaterrdquo
So if you enjoy a good Chekhov story yoursquoll get afew more of the jokes than most
ldquoSome of the references are right in your facesome are more subtlerdquo Susan Mason said
If you havenrsquot read any of his stories or plays wor-ry not
ldquoItrsquos not blatantly Chekhovrdquo Rossman said ldquoItrsquos
just a comic romprdquoAnd if yoursquore still convinced that the only Chekovthat matters is a star eet navigator well theremay actually be a character or two here yoursquodidentify with

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony

AUBURN CONCERT BAND PLAYS MUSIC FROM THE BRITISH ISLESBy Paul Cambra
Think British invasion and you go straight to1964 But the music of the United Kingdomand Ireland has been crossing the Atlantic
for centuries From Baroque to folk ddles tofes the rich musical history of the British Isles canbe traced back to the polyphonic melodies of thelate middle ages
But this month itrsquos all about the brass hellip and thewoodwinds hellipand the percussion
ldquoBrass bands have been popular in Britain sincethe 1800srdquo said Craig Thomas trumpeter withthe Auburn Concert Band ldquoToday they are oneof the most popular forms of music in Englandrdquo
The Auburn Concert band will present ldquoMusicfrom the British Isles ndash from Celtic to Beatlesrdquo fortwo free performances this month The 40-pieceensemble will take on everyone from Gustav Holstto LennonMcCartney
ldquoWersquore not just playing a Beatles song itrsquos a sym-phonic workingrdquo said conductor Tom CandlishldquoYou know how Hey Jude sort of rocks out at theend The arranger takes that same idea but addsa counter melody underneath Itrsquos a mix of the
original material with material for an orchestra Itrsquosnot the way the Beatles played it They are a rockband we are a concert bandrdquo
They will however step slightly out of the box forthese shows adding a piper Chuck Jamison fora medley of bagpipe tunes which they will ac-company And Jamison who plays drums for thecountry and western band Dust in My Coffee willbring his band mates to do a two-song Celtic setin the middle of the show Country Celtic if youwill
ldquoThe Auburn Concert Band is very enthusiasticabout the variety of music we are playingrdquo Can-dlish said ldquoItrsquos not just serious music all of thetime We are mixing it up with folk tunes and poppieces The audiences we play for have really ap-preciated thatrdquo
Yoursquoll hear Brian Borursquos March one of Irelandrsquosoldest traditional folk songs Yoursquoll hear DannyBoy which Candlish calls ldquothe epitome of concertband musicrdquo And then therersquos Those MagnicentMen in their Flying Machines from the 1965 mov-ie and McNamararsquos Band which was a top-10 hitfor Bing Crosby
And if yoursquore not leaving the show humming theending to Hey Jude chances are yoursquoll be whis-tling the Colonel Bogey March better known asthe theme song to The Bridge on the River Kwai
ldquoThe British Isles have certainly contributed to themusical history of this countryrdquo Thomas said ldquoItrsquosamazing when you go back the fact that therewere craftsman making these instruments so mu-sicians could play these beautiful and elaborate
classical piecesrdquo
Thomas the trumpeter has his own personal con-nection to the UK
ldquoI have a couple of cornets that I bought fromsomeone in Englandrdquo he said ldquoThe characteris-tics of the British horn are a little different moresoft and mellow In describing the differencebetween a cornet and a trumpet the trumpet Iwould describe as having a bright and projectingtone and the cornet a softer more mellow tonerdquo
From bright to mellow and a few stages in be-tween this British invasion mixes history with har-mony
