Most are amazed at the relatively easy changes in your diet and perspective that can dramatically change your life. Can’t show up? Call Daniel Cobb and ask for a consultation or a copy of his lecture notes.
OK, I got this message just in time. AS the rains bless us with their tears, for all that need compassion and renewal…rain is sweet here in the desert, here’s a dance troupe that’ll stir up your hearts, and perhaps more….read on….
Samantha Giron Dance Project
Brings Two Shows to Santa Fe Complex
Monday, August 11
Starts at 8:00 pm at 632 Agua Fria St.
Admission is free · Donations Welcome
August 6, 2008
For more information, contact Don Begley at 505/216.7562 or visit sfcomplex.org
Samantha Giron Dance Project in Town for One Night Only
Samantha Giron Dance Project will be presenting work from two distinct shows: a premiere entitled “Quickly Going Somewhere and Back,” and two excerpts from “Women and War,” called “Fire Diary” and “Interrogations.”
“Women and War” seeks to explore the human experience of war from different perspectives than those typically presented to us. The representation of war in our culture is usually focused on men; men play the centrally-depicted, heroic roles of killing, being killed, being captured and tortured. Physical bravery is shown as a male trait.
“Quickly Going Somewhere and Back” is a new kind of project for Samantha Giron Dance Project. Usually Giron approaches Christianson once she has a clear idea for a dance piece, and he composes new work that best fits her ideas for the project. However, when Christianson and Giron were invited to perform at San Francisco’s COLLABORATION Festival, they set out to truly co-create a dance and music performance. This time, Christianson wrote the score first and provided Giron with some imagery and narrative context. Giron then set to work responding to the score. Since then, the two have continued to adapt their own contributions to the performance. Christianson performs his original violin score on stage in “Quickly Going Somewhere and Back,” and even performs some of the choreography alongside dancer LeTania Kirkland!
For more information, visit the Santa Fe Complex web site. Samantha GIron Dance Project’s web site is here.
Santa Fe Complex is a nonprofit, community studio creating connections in science, technology and art. Our studio stands on three core activities:
Collaboration to address real-world problems, encourage cooperation and create economic opportunities in applied complexity, urban planning and simulation, and computational arts.
Communication with local, national and international communities about our work in Santa Fe and elsewhere. Whether it’s a live feed or published reports, we broadcast our work - and the role Santa Fe plays in this important effort - to all interested parties.
Education through the principle of learning-by-doing in active projects that lets students be part of, and contribute to, their project team. We offer formal classes, scientific and technology lectures, and internships.

and the
Please read the few previous blogs to get the full gist of this story. I was so enamored with last night’s performance, I decided to see if any tickets were left for another artist I wanted to hear. I got one, there are very few left. Listen to this amazing musician/singer and perhaps you could get in to one of her concerts. Kaija Saariaho… of course there will be other premieres as well, look at the following invitation.
Concerts Selling Out in First Week of 2008 Season
If you haven’t already ordered your tickets, act now!
The 36th season of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is off to a strong start – great music, great artists and capacity audiences! Several of Week One’s concerts were completely sold out, attesting to the popularity of this season’s programming and guest artists. Some tickets are still available for next week, so don’t hesitate – order your tickets now!
A sample of the phenomenal music offerings next week include:
The renowned Orion String Quartet performs their long- awaited for second installment of the Beethoven String Quartet Cycle on August 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th. Last year’s concerts were completely sold out, so don’t miss this great quartet playing some of the sublime music ever written.
On Saturday, August 9th pianist Benjamin Hochman performs Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
In addition to Bach and Beethoven, you can also participate in three world premieres. The premiere of Musical America’s 2008 Composer of the Year, Kaija Saariaho’s Festival Co-Commission, Serenatas, will be played by the celebrated ensemble Real Quiet on August 3rd, 4th and 6th. Don’t miss this – the composer allows the musicians to choose the performance order of the movements – each of the three performances could be completely different!
The premiere of Huang Ruo’s Festival Commission, Real Loud, also performed by Real Quiet is on August 6th.
August 5th features the world premiere of Festival artistic director and composer/pianist Marc Neikrug’s Piece for Pro Piano Hamburg Steinway Model D & Marimba One, performed by Mr. Neikrug and Drew Lang playing a huge, five-octave marimba.
Of course, there’s much more – call, go online or stop by the box office for more details. See you next week!
Don’t miss out, this is an incredible season. Both concerts I have attended were packed and really exciting! Plus being downtown on the plaza in the early evening is really romantically marvelous. It’s Santa Fe Charm that has a way of catching you off guard even after years of living here. Last night, after the concert, we listened to another concert on the plaza by Po Girl. We then went to Ortega’s for appetizer and two musicians from the Hoo Doo’s were playing. We went to LA Fonda for a biger bite to eat and presto Bill Hearne a famous fellow from here was playing. AS we left the restaurant to go home, a latin band was playing music on the sidewalk. Bravo!
A cool breeze, the starry night, surrounded by beauty. Ahhh! Get some chamber music tickets and go deep into the profound soul of mystical music. It’s your chance now to catch these amazing shows!
It’s the weekend and in NM there’s plenty to do.Check out the sfcmf.com, for chamber music, the desrt chorale for other classical events, www.alibi.com for more cotemporary venues, ksfr.org for lots of musical events, including a blue grass festival. Here’s one of my regular updates too.

2000 Mountain Road NW, Old Town Albuquerque
Pleasure Pilots, Memphis P’Tails, and Chris Dracup –
Saturday, July 19, 7:00-10:00 pm:
The Pleasure Pilots is a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues. The Pilots won the Junior League of Albuquerque’s “Barttle of the Blues Bands” on October 13, 2007. Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE!
Led by Albuquerque blues guitar virtuoso Darin Goldstone, The Memphis P’Tails are a powerful Blues experience, drawing energy and raw power from the fathers of the genre, while staying true to their own Southwest heritage. The band’s inspiration came from Muddy Waters, B. B. King, Magic Sam, Otis Rush, Albert King, Freddie King, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many other guitar-wielding bluesmen who helped shape the distinctive sound. The desert and the mountains did the rest. The result is explosive and in your face, like blues distilled to its purest, finest essence, and served up in a shot glass. Real Blues, straight, no chase, Blues white lightning.
New Mexico blues man Chris Dracup, will deliver a heaping amount of soulful blues guitar and solo vocals.
Admission: $12 Adults; $10 Seniors (60+) and Students w/ID; $9 New Mexico Jazz Workshop (NMJW) and Albuquerque Museum Members.

By Ross Burns
When Perry Farrell hopped a Greyhound from Miami to
Los Angeles, he didn’t take much with him, just some
art supplies, a bag of weed and a surfboard. As he bounced from
apartment to apartment, that same surfboard was the one thing that
always went with him, but he eventually stopped using it. When
he got into music, he stopped surfi ng and sometimes didn’t see the
outdoors for days at a time.
“I was a bit of a Howard Hughes. I was the guy who hadn’t cut his
fi ngernails and was losing his mind in quiet and solitude,” Farrell tells
me. Farrell spent the better part of the 1980s and early 1990s in a
haze of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, but even in his darkest days, Farrell
was productive. As the leader of the band Jane’s Addiction, he made
his mark as one of the most infl uential rock musicians of all time.
He’s been called a visionary and an icon and he earned the nickname
“Th e Godfather” for his contributions to alternative rock. His other
groups, Porno for Pyros and Satellite Party have also received high
critical acclaim.
Farrell is also the founder of Lollapalooza, one of the leading music
festivals in the world.
Lollapalooza began in 1991, in part as a farewell tour for Jane’s
Addiction. One thing that sets the festival apart from others is
its eclectic mix of alternative rock, hip-hop, industrial, metal and
nonmusical performers. Th e lineups over the years are a who’s-who
– Metallica, Beastie Boys, Lupe Fiasco, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Pearl Jam and the Pixies. Some of the big names scheduled for 2008
are Radiohead and Rage Against the Machine. Farrell, who’s always
been known as a fl amboyant performer, is looking forward to
performances by Nine Inch Nails and Chicago’s own Kanye
West, who he’s heard….

“It was grace that brought….it was grace that leaves us whole…”
Dedicated to the planet earth, where some suggests that humans are stewards for the planet’s well being. Here is a call for Americans to unite, and once again change the world for good, health, freedom, and harmony.
Yes listen to several versions:
“I once was lost, but now I am found….”
“I was once blind, but now I see….”
Now that I see, I can alter my ways, and help others realize our mutual response ability.
Let us sing together and work together to cherish our planet, our country, and one another. Let us work together for the healing of our mother earth.
I just watched a fantastic film on DVD called Amazing Grace. It told the story of Mr. William Wilberforce and a long fight against slavery as commerce for England.
Do go see this movie on a DVD. On the near of July 4, when the country will rise up and celebrate the birth of our nation, with dance, pancake breakfasts, music festivals, and fireworks, how many will reflect on the history of economics, commerce, wars, and our most recently denied challenge: global warming.
In the movie, Mr Wiberforce took on an overwhelming challenge and experienced many defeats. Yet, with the help of a woman, he regained his health and returned to his mission where he in a fine strategic move used a political ploy to put an end to slavery for the British empire. He also awakened a people’s sense of morality.
In these days the concept of morality seldom rises to challenge commerce running destructively wild on a rampage destined for destruction. Errant wars divert the people’s conscience so that powers to be can ignore our plant’s health, our elder’s medical care, among multiple other human issues.
What is America’s sense of morality where oil is concerned. In the USA, government and industry lunge forward gasping for more drilling, more nuclear power plants, more coal plants, hoping that their desperation will garnish more power, pollution, and control. Perhaps as stated in the movie, “the King is Mad…and the corporations crazy.
Industry, as in the movie, has lost all moral consciousness. Humans matter not, nor does the planet that sustains us. All too many good people are trapped in the guise of profit and need. I dare note if we combined 20% of the oil companies massive profit, and 40% of our militaries bomb budget, we could convert to alternate fuel and energy sources. Plus there would be plenty of new homegrown USA jobs for American workers. Alas morality and responsibility are values not in vogue by many these days.
Perhaps this fourth of July, we need to look deeply at our roots. Remember what America used to be. Commit ourselves to rid ourselves of an oppressive regime, and scandoulous and racketeerring commerce. Perhaps we need to stand united and find real solutions to our energy needs, and our planet’s health. Perhaps, even take responsibilty for taking care of the earth.
What would happen if cars did not need oil? If houses were heated by the sun? If jobs were created at home to help with our conversion. Make a few links and spread the word.
Ok here’s a wild overview. Come and dance. COme and discover beer all over again. Come and eat. It’s a holiday worth celebrating. Wave your flag high. Celebrate America.

REVEREND PEYTON’S BIG DAMN BAND
“Like Robert Johnson on crack……”
The three-piece from Indianapolis kills with a high-energy sound steeped in classic Blues tradition. With acoustic guitar, dobro, a minimal drum kit and washboard, the trio concocts a rousing, hyper and authentic brand of Blues that sounds like the backwaters of the Mississippi delta. The Rev. Peyton has a voice dripping with the hallowed, life-worn distinctiveness of the masters, while brother Jayme Peyton (drums) and The Rev’s wife, “Washboard” Breezy, stir up a tornadic rhythmic whirl.

Pianist Yuja Wang performs at the 2nd Annual Chefs’ Gala
Ensemble Profile: Imani Winds
Audio version of Sweeney Todd wins 3 Audies
——————————————————————————–
Pianist Yuja Wang kicks off 2008 season with performance at the 2nd Annual Chefs’ Gala
One of the classical music world’s rising stars, pianist Yuja Wang helps to kick of the Festival’s season for the second time in as many years. On July 17, at the Festival’s opening gala at the Scottish Rite Center, Ms. Wang will give a recital featuring Chopin’s Barcarolle for piano in F-Sharp Minor, Op. 60, Liszt’s La Campanella, Mendelssohn- Bartholdy’s Scherzo from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Ginastera’s Ruvido ed ostinato from Sonata No. 1, Op. 22, Balakirev’s The Lark (Zhavoronok) (transcribed); Liszt’s Danse macabre, (transcribed), and Kapustin’s Variations for piano, Op. 41.
At 21, Ms. Wang has firmly established herself as one of the most significant pianists of her generation. She first came to international recognition in February 2005 when, on one days notice, she replaced Radu Lupu with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Pinchas Zukerman conducting, and performed Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. The success was immediate with the Canada press reporting “a star is born.” Ms. Wang was immediately reengaged to perform Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 that June and has been invited back every season since. In March 2007, her career received a major advancement when she replaced Martha Argrich playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit conducting.
Ms. Wang has performed with such renowned US orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, the Boston, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and Kansas City symphonies, and abroad with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Tonhalle Orchestra (Switzerland), Nagoya Philharmonic (Japan), the China Philharmonic (Beijing) and the Guangzhou Symphony, to name a few.
Highlights of Ms. Wang’s 2007-08 season included her debut in Lisbon, Portugal where she replaced Evgeny Kissin, performing both Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3; closing the 2007 St. Petersburg Winter Arts Festival at the invitation of Mo. Temirkanov, and replacing Yefim Bronfman on one days notice to perform Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Swedish Radio Orchestra.
Born in Beijing, China in 1987, Yuja Wang was drawn to the piano at the age of six when she began studying with Professors Ling Yuan and Zhou Guangren at Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music. She moved to the United States at age 15 to attend Philadelphia’s prestigious Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied under Gary Graffman. She has also studied with John Perry at the Aspen Music Festival (2002 and 2003 summers), at the Mount Royal College Conservatory Academy Program for Gifted Youth with teachers Hung Kuan Chen and Tema Blackstone (2001-2002) and at three Morningside Music summer programs (1999-2001) at Calgary’s Mount Royal College. Before moving to the United States, Ms. Wang was a prizewinner in many regional competitions within China, as well as competitions in Spain and Germany. In 2001 she won first prize in the Junior Group of the Seiler International Piano Competition, and was the third prize-winner and recipient of the Special Jury Award at the First Japan Sendai International Music Competition. In 2002, Ms. Wang won the Aspen Music Festival’s concerto competition, and in 2006 she received the Gilmore Young Artist Award
Yuja Wang can be heard in five performances throughout week one of the 2008 Festival season, including a solo piano recital on July 22 featuring works by Chopin, Scriabin, Albeniz and Beethoven.

Ensemble Profile: Imani Winds
Since 1997, the Grammy nominated Imani Winds have been enriching the traditional wind quintet repertoire with European, American, African and Latin American traditions. As their Swahili name Imani (”faith”) denotes, the five adventurous musicians (Valerie Coleman, flutist and composer; Toyin Spellman-Diaz, oboe; Mariam Adam, clarinet; Jeff Scott, horn; Monica Ellis, bassoon) have followed their mission closely, carving out a distinct presence in the classical music world with their dynamic playing, culturally poignant programming, and inspirational outreach programs.
The ensemble celebrates their 10-year anniversary with an ambitious commissioning initiative aptly entitled the Legacy Commissioning Project, to extend over five years and to include 10 composers from different musical disciplines. The project kicks off in 2008 with world premieres by Alvin Singleton and Roberto Sierra commissioned by Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Chamber Music Northwest, and Stanford Lively Arts.
Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival audiences have the opportunity to hear the Imani Winds in performance in four concerts at the beginning of the season: on July 26 in a concert featuring Mongo Santamaria’s Afro Blue (arranged by Valerie Coleman); Paquita D’Riviera’s Kites Over Havana; Astor Piazzolla’s Fuga Y Misterio (arranged by Jeff Scott); Julio Medaglia’s Suite Popular Brasiliera; Valerie Coleman’s Portaits of Josephine Baker and Astor Piazzolla’s Libertango (arranged by Jeff Scott) on July 27 and 28 as one half of the group performing the world premiere of Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s 2008co-commission with Chamber Music Northwest of Roberto Sierra’s Concierto de Camara (the nonet is performed by the Imani Winds and Miami String Quartet), and in a youth concert on the morning of July 28.
Through commissions and performance the quintet regularly collaborates with other artists. Josephine Baker: A Life of Le Jazz Hot, a collaboration with chanteuse René Marie and choreographer Christopher Huggins, has been performed in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, among other cities, to great acclaim. Imani Winds performed the world premiere of Terra Incognita, the first-ever commission for classical artists by jazz composer, performer and legend Wayne Shorter, and have shared the stage with Yo-Yo Ma for a rousing performance of Jeff Scott’s arrangement of Libertango. In 2007 the ensemble collaborated with bassist/trombonist Chris Brubeck of the famed Brubeck family for a performance and recording of music written especially for wind quintet and jazz quartet (to be released by Koch in 2008). The group’s Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center residency culminated in a recital in New York’s Alice Tully Hall with renowned clarinetist/saxophonist/composer Paquito D’Rivera. The ensemble has also worked with luminaries such as bandoneonist Daniel Binelli, saxophonist Steve Coleman, clarinetist David Shifrin, and pianists Gilbert Kalish and Shai Wosner. Future collaborations include Stefon Harris and David Krakauer.
The Imani Winds have been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2007 ASCAP Award, 2002 CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, and the CMA/WQXR Award for their debut and self-released CD Umoja. At the 2001 Concert Artists Guild International Competition, Imani Winds was selected as the first-ever Educational Residency Ensemble, in recognition of their tremendous musical abilities and innovative programming.
The Imani Winds have three releases on Koch International Classics, including their 2006 Grammy Award nominated recording, The Classical Underground.

Available in book stores and online, “SWEENEY TODD AND THE STRING OF PEARLS” is based on the 1846 penny dreadful, “The String of Pearls, A Romance,” attributed to Thomas Prest.The popular gaudy, serialized Victorian novel about the cut-throat barber of Fleet Street has had numerous stage, literary and screen versions of the tale, including the Sondheim musical and recently released movie starring Johnny Depp.

Artist’s Corner
Do you have a favorite past performance at the Festival?
“I really enjoyed the performance of Frankenstein by Gruber from last summer, and I got to stretch my horn skills to the limit with Esa Pekka Solonen’s Concert Etude for Horn that I performed two years ago. That by far was the most challenging piece for horn that I have ever played.”
What do you feel it is about the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival that makes it unique?
“The Festival has that Santa Fe relaxation vibe going for it; everyone is friendly, laid back and happy when they get here, and playing in the St. Francis Chapel or the Lensic is always fun. The well educated and appreciative audiences are always good to play for as well.”
William Barnewitz, horn player
Mr. Barnewitz can be heard at the Lensic on August 18 performing Beethoven’s Quintet for Winds and on August 20 performing Dvorak’s Serenade in D Minor, Op. 44. Check the season schedule at http://santafechambermusic.com for complete details on the concert programs.

There are several concerts under the stars or at the Biopark weekly. Check out the clubs and smaller venues too. Just relax and aprty and tell your friends!
NOt here yet? Why are you waiting??? However if you are closer to:
Blogsville: about-chicagoil.com
I will begin with 15 words of gratitude. WHy? Friends who do a lot of pyschological and metaphysical research remind me that writing down gratitudes improves health, attitude, and brain function. Secondly it makes me feel good and reminds myself of a generous universe and our higher power.
Thank you for the rain. Thanks for the lady customer who met me at the Post Office and helped me re-align my perspective of my day. Thanks for supplements that can bring a aching and inflammed knee to practically no pain. Thanks for the time to walk barefoot in my yard and water those new plants I got yesterday. (It was a very short and windy rain). Thanks for the eggplant seedling that was left for dead at the store and who now is growing again. I just discoverd it actually is two plants. Thanks for sales on stuff I want. Thanks for the cooler weather between very hot days. Mornings have been refreshing, and the evening cool down some too. Thanks for the natural gentle breeze that visit my bedroom every night all summer long. No need for a fan!
Thanks for friends. Thanks for the lunch out yesterday. Thanks for the swim tomorrow. Thanks for new streams of income. Thanks for being able to pay bills. Thanks for being able to give stuff to Pat. Thanks for the free children’s books that I gave to the neighbor for her younger nephew. Thanks for time to write. Thanks for this blog. Thank you readers.
You may have noticed that I mentioned lots of littler things. I am thankful for my old car that keeps running. Small things fill our day. The more we can enjoy the events, like the light framed my a wooden frame old window gazing upon adobe building with tree shadow dancing.
That moment alone in the Anazi Inn, waiting for a friend to arrive, where the cool air and elegant decor erased the heat wave blasting. That moment where my eyes drew a masterpiece, timeless with adobe whisphering old stories about wanderers from the past. Santa Fe always filled with travellers who accidentally sip the magic of this transcendental place. Awakened some even rest rom the hustle and bustle of trade. Light through the window, and an old adobe wall: the same and always changing. My fingers ached to draw. I gave a prayer of thanksgiving. I felt humbled to be witness to moment now and eternal.
Lunch was good too. A few blogs ago, I wrote about the lady who loved horses. In Santa Fe people are occassionally inducted as our living treasures for the noteworthy days contributed over many years to our community. I think horses are living treasures too. Along with rusty orange irises that bloom after all the others have passed. Enjoy these picturesfrom Cynthia Decosta’s ranch. Also go read the earlier blog about her thoughts and her ranch.
Look up Santa Fe Living treasures and meet the wonderful people who have and many still do weave the town’s culture and lore.
As I have a lot more to catch up on, I’ll leave you sitting upon the plaza listening to the summer music in the fresh evening air. A liitle rain will make the aroma fill your lungs with joy. Clear out your calendar too, as the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is about to Begin. Come one and come all. The Santa Fe Opera will have the city on fire and fairly crowded too. People from all over the world travel here for opera each year. Give yourself time for an early dinner or fine wine afterwards with some…and if you come to this neck of the woods and want some personal guide ideas….write me here so that we may connect.
It’s a very hot night here in the office. However the outside night air is cool and windy. After a long day working, I had to go over and pull weeds at one of my PT gigs. Just before sunset, a cool wind arrived, making one believe in the chance of rain. The wind grew in force and clouds soon zoomed of around the mountain. I did enjoy the moon rise to my left, and the sunset to my right. I also love working with the land albiet a commerical zone location. The cool evening air helped a lot too.
Aching a bit, I returned home, stood and stred at another mess of weeds, all my own. So I did some more work, a relatively small section and watched the moon through drifting clouds, and a tall tree. Both my cats came out to visit, and once my black cat, Jasper, sitting on the stairs railing, was caught gazing at the nearly full moon. I never witnessed her do that before.

Before I share news and there wil be more tomorrow, I apologize for now getting the Saturday night events to you earlier. Many of these shows will be continuing, and a few definitely seem worth seeing.
Also in Santa Fe there is a new play called “little Ghost” at the CCA on Old PEcos trail. It is a locally produced and written work with some strong perspectives on…read the Paseotempo for a longer story, but better yet, be bold and just go see it.
Also had a long talk with my mother tonight. Heard stories about my Dad’s last years. SOme change now years long past. What touched me most was how my 89 yr old Mom’s voice changed and softened as she shared her memories. Her long and longing for him freely lingered across the lines. These were sounds seldom heard during his time here, yet encapsuled deep feelings she not to express to me then. This Father’s day, let your emotions flow as much as Dad can take. One never knows when he won’t be near to see your loving eyes or hear them. Happy Father’s Day to all Dads!
