This weeks' Roots Blues Charts at Roots Music Report show
Steve Howell's "My Mind Gets to Ramblin'" at number 7, says musicologist Bruce Flett. Howell's competition includes the top names in blues, including Taj Mahal, B B King, Elvin Bishop, Buddy Guy, Freddie King and Stevie Ray Vaughan (re-issues).
Howell's new CD is his second release on Out of the Past Music and focuses on his mastery of the under-appreciated American Music Genre of Acoustic Country Blues, says Flett.
Steve is now booking tour dates for 2009, notes Flett. House Concerts, coffeehouses, pubs, 'listening rooms' and festivals are his specialty. Solo acoustic guitar with vocals or with his 3 piece band, his home of Marshall, Texas, can indeed be proud of Howell.
"Ramblin'" was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Sandbox Studios in Shreveport. Among the musicians that played on the recording: Musicians Hall of Fame member Joe Osborn on bass guitar and nationally known guitarist/singer/songwriter Buddy Flett.

Auction and show at Actor's Cafe will benefit Miss Mary Arnold, Shreveport, on Tues, Dec 9
Local musicians will hold a benefit, says Kern Courtney, at Actor’s Café on Tues, Dec 9, 7pm, to help offset the costs of cancer treatments for Ms. Mary Arnold, a waitress of Murrell’s Grill in Shreveport.

Review: The Clean House at LSUS Black Box Theater offered domestic comedy, ethereal luminosity and an effective young cast
How strong is the new program at LSUS being directed by Robert Alford, Mary Jarzabek and guest director Pruitt Vince? Is the new Black Box Theater an effective room? And what about the ensemble of drama grads and undergrads being gathered by Alford into a sort of ensemble?
The Clean House was a good testing ground for these questions. Written by Sarah Ruhl, who won a MacArthur Fellowship in '06, it is a romantic comedy about a physician who cannot convince her depressed Brazilian maid to clean her house. Owing to its flights of magical rabbitry, it is not an entirely orthodox comedy.
We saw it on the last Sat of its run and in the first act laughed frequently at the domestic insights and ribaldry (actress Kelly Mills is contemplating the possible owner of the black briefs in the laundry photo above). The interaction between the tightly-coiled Emily Kirkland, playing a doctor, and the oscillating Kelly Mills, the yin-yang sister, was rich. Kirkland whisked, Mills squirreled. Rachael Magill played the fractious maid. Called to fill in at the last minute, Magill anchored the sometimes neutronic ensemble.
Jennifer Lynn Warren performed two roles but became the earth mother goddess of the contemplative second act. The house turned inward in act two, as James Palmer, playing Kirkland's fractal husband, found a soul mate - which was not, alas, his wife. Then the new woman, played with growing luminosity by Warren, is diagnosed with cancer.
Ruhl melds the competing gang into a coherent mass of souls. So did the young actors seem to find a meeting of the energies. While the second act meandered (the performance opened at 8:10, took one intermission, and closed at 10:40 pm), its tone was convincingly ethereal.
The seats were comfortable and the sound and lights were straight in the Black Box Theater. Vince worked the young cast effectively. Each of the actors seemed to us to find their turf.
Bodes well for the Feb production of a play written by Californian Julia Edwards called Family Planning. Edwards will give 3 symposia on her play and a workshop on play writing, too. See more at the new LSUS Theater web site.

Shreveport Little Theater box office open for Rabbit Hole, Dec 5 - 14, performances at MLP
Rabbit Hole, the 07 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, by David Lindsay-Abaire, is the Shreveport Little Theater play for December, says Robert Darrow.
The play focuses on a couple, Becca and Howie, trying to cope with the death of their only child, a four-year-old, in an auto accident, while Becca’s well-meaning mom and off-kilter sister attempt to lift their spirits (and deal with their own problems), each in her own inimitable way. The couple's lives are further complicated, says Wikipedia, when the young driver who killed their son contacts them seeking closure.

Movie review: Dylan touched the best and brightest at the Newport Folk Festival, '63 to '65
Just before long hair, beards and flowing cotton blouses became the mode, well-born young Americans in madras shirts and khaki shorts pondered the civil rights movement and watched black storytellers like the Rev Gary Davis at the Newport Folk Festival.
Prosperous, well-educated young America was a hungry crowd. They sensed that the lifestyle being offered them by their parents was ridiculously provincial.
Amidst them walked young Bob Dylan, in his Pete Seeger-style work shirt and lace-up shoes. He was the essence of inquiring, conscience-driven ("Blowin in the Wind") young America. He had a gift for imagery ("Hey, Mr Tambourine Man") and storytelling. He was an entertainer via Woodie Guthrie and other authentic visionaries.
In the documentary Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival you can almost smell the yearning of handsome young East coast Americans for an alternative to pop culture. They sought a way to protest racial inhumanity and war and to do it poetically.
For them, Dylan was a magician.
In the Newport Folk Fest documentary cameras are tightly trained upon him. His gifts of humor, mesmerizing simplicity and elegant word play are apparent.
Dylan became the pied piper. The Newport audience, looking like 3000 young cousins of JFK, were an army primed for a quest. And they almost uncontrollably devoured Dylan.
A highly recommendable piece of history and a meditation upon the role of the bard, this 83-minute movie is known as "The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963 - 1965."

"In other news," he adds, "check out my new blog, Will Maranto’s World. Topics are only limited to whatever is floating around my evil little mind, but you’ll definitely catch a good bit of Gypsy Mountain-related content."

Baroque Artists present concert at St Mark's Episcopal on Sun, Nov 23, 3 pm
We won't be taking the Baroque Artists for granted anymore, will we? With the effective demise of the Shreveport Symphony the region is starved for classical music. Happily, orchestra players have long been members of Baroque Artists and the concert on Sun, Nov 3, 3 pm, will be a richly-performed chamber concert.
Music by Vivaldi, Teleman and Handel is on the bill. The show is free and open to the public.
The musicians include Sally Horak, Theresa Zale Bridges, Laura Crawford, Angela Russell, Samara Humbert, Ruth Drummond, Donald Smith and Gay Grosz.
Baroque Artists will present 3 concerts in 2009: Jan 18 at First Methodist Couch Chapel, March 1 and May 3 at St Mark's Episcopal.
St Mark's sumptuous stone interior produces remarkable sustain. Sitting in the back maximizes, I believe, the reverberation. To enjoy crisp musical articulation I recommend sitting as close to the players as possible.

The State of Music is a show tht airs each Wed evening from 6 to 6:30 p.m. on KLKL FM 95.7, says writer-producer Karl Hasten.
"J.J. O'Brien is the on-air interviewer. As producer I schedule all the acts, provide JJ with a CD of the music, bios, info and a basic script to follow in the interview. Our first show was the first Wed. of Sept. with Kenny Wayne Shepherd as our guest. Since then we have had---among others---Terrance Simien, Buddy Flett, Joe Stampley, bassist Joe Osborne, Professor Porkchop, Henry Gray (he was our guest the Wed. before the Highland Fest), Dan Garner and Amelia Blake. David Egan will be our guest next Wednesday and we have Flame Shark, Leon Medica (Louisiana's LeRoux founding member and co-writer of "New Orleans Ladies") among future shows. I am contacting Dirtfoot today to schedule them for a show and we have a number of others on our wish list --- Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint, Aaron Neville.
Though we are based here and focusing on northwest Louisiana, our goal is to cover artists of all genres all across the state. The show's format is we talk to the artist interspersed with playing their music. Pretty simple really.
My phone number is 344-3955. Anyone interested in being on the show can reach me at karl.hasten@yahoo.com to start the process."

Shreveport City Council hears from arts organizations: "extremely positive" attitude, notes Atchison
Pam Atchison, head of Shreveport Regional Arts Council, reported that "On Tuesday, the Shreveport City Council met to review the 2009 budget for the non-profit organizations that are funded through the Riverfront Development Fund. The meeting was extremely positive with many non-profit organizations sharing their achievements of the previous year and their plans for the future. The City Council welcomed this opportunity to hear from the non-profit arts organizations. It was an honor for me to share many of the victories of our arts community, as well as to hear very positive reactions from the City Council Members.
What was clear in this meeting is that at this time the City’s financial resources are both reduced and stretched. It is possible that non-profit organizations will receive a funding cut; however, the depth and breadth is not apparent.
The City Council has indicated that it would be helpful to see the impact of the Sales Tax Revenue at the first quarter of the year in order to make effective decisions about funding of the non-profit organizations. As the Shreveport Regional Arts Council receives its funding on a quarterly basis, there is interest in waiting until the first quarter to determine if the allocation can be increased. As we do not receive funding until the first quarter, this situation would have limited impact on your grants and services from SRAC, before April 1.
While funding conversations that involve the words “cut” and “reductions” are very difficult and frightening, I believe - as I have said in every monthly Arts Administrators and Roster Artists meeting - that this is not the time for the arts community to take aggressive action. As always, I would encourage you to invite City Council members to your events and programming and to express your gratitude for the continued, historic, support of the arts in our city.
As we move through this process, I will keep you apprised of the progress that is made and I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for your continued support."

Multiuse paths, repainted streets, homemade trails, recommended routes: Loren Demerath and A Better Shreveport at work on such possibilities
If a network of multiuse paths, repainted streets, homemade trails, recommended routes, etc. are your cup of meat then you need to find and join the group called A Better Shreveport. The chef is Loren Demerath, sociology chair at Centenary College and a fellow with a track record in the struggle to change life in Shrevetown.
For one thing, he ordinarily walks his 2 children to school - crossing Youree in the process - and often does it with a guitar round his neck and a tune in the air. He's becoming grant savvy, too. Recently he announced that "we didn't get the EPA grant, but I got the news that we won the National Park Service grant!"
This a group - meeting Sat at 1 pm this week, as you'll see on the blog - whose goals are both short term and long term. Shreveport's streets, access, modes of transportation and point of view are definitely going to change. If you want a voice in the change, here's an opening.

Review: Barbara Acker, Logan Sledge, Charity Schubert, Angelique Feaster implode in drama Doubt at Capri Theater, Shreveport
Four capable actors arrived onstage Sat night at the Capri Theater to live out a 90-minute dramatic implosion in River City Rep's presentation of the drama Doubt.
Director Patric McWilliams presented a tantalizing struggle between a somewhat naive, liberal bachelor, played with fluency by Logan Sledge, and a wizened conservative widow, played with graceful implacability by Barbara Acker.
Charity Schubert and Angelique Feaster portrayed the people who are shouldered and hobbled by the conflict, despite their considerable defenses. The quartet of actors matched each other step for step in their march into emotional warfare.
The John Patrick Shanley script is a distillation of the inflammatory forces that drive humans. While the script pitted a young priest against a nun of a certain age, figures akin to a springy Barack Obama and the battle-proven John McCain came to mind.
There is a final performance today at 3 pm.
The Capri Theater proved an effective venue for Sledge and Acker and the tightly-coiled drama. Seated in theater-in-the-round style, the view and auditory connection between audience and the actors was vivid.
Tickets: 868-5888.

Do you remember the Sports Page and who played there? The Fritz? Bands that played at Steamboat Annie's, across the square from Hump's? The names of other clubs that were in operation during Humpfree's tenure?

Kent calls Doubt a razor-sharp, powerful production with absolute clarity of purpose; see it at the Capri Theater through Sun, Nov 16
"'Doubt' arrived at The Capri Theatre on Wednesday with the power to upend the conscience," wrote Alex Kent in his rave review in the Times.
"River City Repertory Theatre presents John Patrick Shanley's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama with a conviction of character that is at once spellbinding and revolting. Being that the play is about the danger of moral certainty, these words are chosen as pure praise. This "Doubt" is a gripping and devastating achievement."

Animation and Visual Effects Introductory Workshop for teens on Sat, Nov 22, for ten bucks
In the entertainment arena, computer graphics is constantly growing and evolving. This workshop, says John Miralles, will introduce you to the field of entertainment computer graphics.
The Animation and Visual Effects Institute (AVEI) at LSUS has been founded to educate talented candidates for careers in those fields. Many of these areas of computer graphics use high-end software and techniques that can be exciting and a challenge to learn.
This workshop is intended to introduce a student with little or no prior exposure to the field of entertainment computer graphics. Topics to be covered will include basic digital imaging, using Adobe Photoshop, basic video compositing using HD footage and Adobe AfterEffects. An introduction to 3D Computer generated images will also be demonstrated.
By the end of the workshop, students will have created their first visual effects shot and have a greater understanding of the exciting fields.
For Ages 15 & up
Note: There will be a 1 hour lunch break from 12-1.
Due to popular demand, a second class has been scheduled.
High School Students ~ Pay only $10!! You have to register in person (have a valid Student ID) in the Continuing Education office in the Technology Center.
Miralles says he will offer a similar workshop for the under-15's in January.

The Who at the RFC Nov 17; rock documentaries being screened all the month of November
Coming to the RFC: "Smashing Pumpkins: If All Goes Wrong," November 8
Originally uploaded by Robinson Film Center
Throughout the month of November, The Robinson Film Center will be hosting a selection of exclusive HD rock and folk concert documentaries in our largest theater, says Chris Jay. These one night-only presentations feature concert performances, behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews with the artists and fans. In many instances, such as SMASHING PUMPKINS: IF ALL GOES WRONG and THE WHO: LIVE AT KILBURN 1977, the RFC is one of ten or less cinemas in the nation in which the performances are being broadcast.
All presentations have brand-new soundtracks, remastered for theatrical-quality presentation. Images from all of these performances can be found on our Flickr page.
As an avid music fan, I'm excited about all of these performances, but I have to elaborate on one or two of them in particular. The Who performance from 1977 is an absolute dream setlist. When you get "Baba O'Reilly," "Pinball Wizard," "My Generation," and "Won't Get Fooled Again" all in a row...as a Who fan, that's just cloud nine. It's also one of drummer Keith Moon's final performances.
The Bob Dylan performance includes what is arguably one of the most important moments in rock history, when Dylan plugged in and went electric at the Newport Folk Festival in '65.
Here are the concerts scheduled for November:
Smashing Pumpkins: If All Goes Wrong
Saturday, November 8, 9:30 PM
Pete Seeger: The Power of Song
Tuesday, November 11, 7:30 PM
Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise

Barnwell workshop by celebrated landscape artist Peter Andrew on Thur, Nov 13, 6 pm
The Friends of Barnwell and the Hoover Watercolor Society invite you to a free artist demonstration on Thurs, Nov 13, 2008, at 6:00 pm. The demonstration will be conducted by Peter Andrew, Professor of Art at Stephen F. Austin University in Texas.
Andrew also serves as the Education Consultant for Winsor & Newton and Liquitex artist materials; they will be sponsoring his demonstration at the Barnwell Center. In fact, free samples will be given away to attendees.
Andrew's artwork has shown at the Museum of American Illustration in New York City and at Presidential Inaugural Galas in Washington, DC. A Fulbright Scholar, Ossabaw Fellow, Millay Fellow, and MacDowell Fellow, he has exhibited in over fifty solo exhibitions and over one-hundred fifty group shows.

Subjects of Sundance winner Trouble the Water discuss the film at Robinson Film Center Sat, Nov 7, 6 pm
Chris Jay writes from Robinson Film Center, "I am doing anything I can to spread the word about a very special guest appearance we have just scheduled. Kim and Scott Roberts, subjects of the Hurricane Katrina documentary “Trouble the Water” (which won the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival) will be visiting The Robinson Film Center this Saturday, November 8, to discuss the film with patrons and participate in question-and-answer sessions following our 4:30 PM and 7:00 PM screenings of the film. Kim and Scott are residents of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward, and were trapped in their home during the storm. Kim captured the experience of the storm on her hand-held video camera, and also documented their efforts to rescue friends and neighbors, and later their journey out of New Orleans. It’s an amazing film, and Kim and Scott are really interesting to speak with about their lives before, during, and after the storm."
Jay adds, "Admission to the Q&A/discussions with Kim and Scott is free, though you do have to purchase a ticket to see the film. I expect the discussions to take place around 6:00 Pm and 7:30 PM."

Shreveport's Highland Jazz & Blues Fest on Sat, Nov 15, noon to 6 pm at Columbia Park
Columbia Park: the halcyon choristers sang in Columbia in days of yore.
And it continues as a center of mellow yellow during the annual blues fest.
I'd recommend a portable chair. And a few extra bucks for the vendors, who've got food and artisan work.
So far, this fest has not been mobbed. The vibe is that of a fest in the country.
Noon to 6 pm.
As residents of Highland like to say, Hare krishna: slow down and live.
Thanks to Kathryn Usher for the snap.

Read an excerpt from artist-author Michael Harold's new book, Art and Technology
an excerpt from Art and Technology
by Michael Harold, November 2008
"Sometimes we call it entertainment. Sometimes we call it education. Sometimes we call it politics, or business or religion. But regardless of what we call it, we never allow people to become complacent in their response to the stimuli around them. We are always introducing new categories of stimulation and stimulus response. That is why the world loves our culture and wants to emulate us. Even when they hate our government, they still love our culture, our capacity to make people watch TV, for example."
Harold explains, "I just had an excerpt from my book Art and Technology published online by Unlikely 2.0 at http://www.unlikelystories.org/ that I think you might like.
The Rapture should be available in a couple of weeks. It's taken longer than I thought, but at least it will (hopefully) be out while there are still un-Raptured people around to read it."

Logan Sledge in the drama Doubt: Nov 12, 13, 14, 15, 7:30 pm; Capri Theatre, 620 Milam St, Shreveport
RIVER CITY REP opens its third season with John Patrick Shanley’s acclaimed drama, DOUBT. The play is one of the most awarded shows in recent Broadway history.
The provocative story, set against the background of a Catholic school in 1964, is the story of a conservative, traditional nun faced with a difficult and troubling decision. Should she voice concerns about a young, modern-thinking priest who has recently arrived at the school….even if she’s not entirely certain of the truth?
BARBARA ACKER and LOGAN SLEDGE star as Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn.
CHARITY SCHUBERT and ANGELIQUE FEASTER round out the cast as Sister James, a young nun caught in the middle of the struggle between Aloysius and Flynn; and the mother of a student who sets off the rumors of the priest’s character.
DOUBT has been recently made into a film starring Meryl Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The movie is due for wide release in December.
Patric McWilliams directs with Light Design by TRISTAN DECKER and Costume and Set Design by McWilliams.
The show opens NOVEMBER 12 with additional performances NOVEMBER 13, 14, 15 all at 7:30 p.m. and has a 3 p.m. matinee on NOVEMBER 16. Performances will be at THE CAPRI THEATRE, 620 Milam Street in downtown Shreveport.
Box Office opens Monday, October 27th and is open Mon – Sat 11 am to 5 pm. 318-868-5888

Requiescat in pace, Alfred C. Glassell, Jr, 1913 - 2008; was oilman, art patron, wildlife advocate
The founder of Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp was a Byrd HS and LSU grad who was raised outside of Belcher at Cuba Plantation. According to the Alfred C. Glassell, Jr, obituary in the Times, the energy industry pioneer, based in Houston after participating in WWII, was a patron in numerous fields: marine biology, Texas wildlife and the cultural landscape of Houston.
To make an extensive quote from the Times obit:
He dedicated his time and resources to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston Symphony Society, Society for Performing Arts, Houston Ballet Foundation, Houston Chamber of Commerce, Texas Children's Hospital, American Museum of Natural History in New York City, Smithsonian Institution, and Archaeological Institute of America.
He fulfilled a great role as a leader at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. This world famous collector of art was first elected to the museum's Board of Trustees in 1970. Realizing people's fundamental need for hands on experience in the arts and recognizing the lack of studio opportunities, he established the Glassell School of Art. Since its dedication in 1979, the Glassell School has provided diverse training in the fine arts to children, adults, emerging artists, hospital patients, and older Americans.
He was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in 1990, a time when the need for physical expansion was evident. With characteristic optimism and belief in the generosity of Houston, he led a ten-year effort that resulted in the Audrey Jones Beck Building as home for the museum's collection of Western Antiquities, European, and American art.
As a life-long collector of Asian, Pre-Columbian, and African art, he donated his excellent and extensive collections to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. These works, primarily of precious gold, are without parallel. Frances Marzio, his curator, described him as "a great connoisseur who recognized the creative genius of diverse cultures before they were appreciated by many others."

Andy Warhol's Polaroids arrive at Meadows Museum, Centenary College; lecture Sun, Nov 2, at 2 pm
Photographs taken by artist Andy Warhol will be on display at the Meadows Museum of Art at Centenary College from Nov. 2, through the end of January, 2009, says Diane DuFilho.
Meadows was among 180 university galleries chosen to participate in the Warhol Photographic Legacy Project.
A pioneer of the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, Warhol turned from advertising and journalism to photographic imagery as the starting-point for his celebrated silkscreen works. An obsessive photographer, it is estimated that Andy Warhol made between 60,000 and 100,000 snapshots during his lifetime. The camera was his constant companion, serving as a combination sketchbook and diary.
Warhol himself referred specifically to his Polaroid camera as his “pencil and paper” producing the "sketches" from which images for the finished paintings and silkscreen prints were chosen.
Meadows Museum’s exhibition will allow visitors to examine examples of Warhol’s Polaroid portraits that provide an intimate glimpse into how the artist worked.
A number of public programs have been designed in tandem with (extra) Ordinary: The Photographs of Andy Warhol. Included are a gallery talk on Warhol’s photographs by Dr. Lisa Nicoletti, Chair of the Art Department of Centenary College, and lectures by contemporary photographers J. Shimon and J. Lindemann, Assistant Professors of Art at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis., whose photographic exhibition at Centenary College’s Turner Art Center coincides with the presentation of Warhol’s works at the Meadows.
Shimon and Lindemann’s talk entitled Unmasked & Anonymous kicks off the opening of both photographic exhibitions on Sunday, November 2, at 2 p.m. in the Meadows Museum galleries.
Meadows is open Tues through Sun:
* Tues, Wed, Fri from noon until 4 p.m.
* Thurs noon until 5 p.m.
* Sat and Sun 1 until 4 p.m.
318.869.5169.
