I can not believe that each person that has reviewed this album gave it 5 stars. This is the only official Live Morbid Angel album which was recorded on their Domination tour. Having seen them live on this tour, and hearing this disc, it just leaves you wanting more.
Problems I have with this album:
1. From the first few notes of Immortal Rites, you can hear that Morbid Angel sounds a little sluggish. Listen to Lord of all Fevers and Plagues too; the guitars and drumming are slower and not as good as the original version.
2. David Vincents vocals. He left the band shortly after this tour, and it was obvious to anyone who was there, that he was no longer into the band or touring. His vocals on Domination were sub-standard, and the same applies here. It's like a watered down version of what David Vincent used to sound like.
3. Only 11 songs and 40 minutes ? Why did they cut the rest of the set list ?
4. They only play half of Chapel of Ghouls.
5. No God Of Emptiness (which they didnt play too much during this tour for some odd reason)
Even with all my bitching, I still enjoy listening to this album once in a while to hear classics like Maze of Torment, Dominate, and Rapture, etc… Its just that this album and tour marked the end of an era for Morbid Angel and to some extent death metal. It was obvious that David was no longer into the band or the music and it shows on this CD. All Morbid Angel fans should own this CD, but it fails to present one of the greatest death metal bands playing in its prime.

Do I really need to introduce this band? In theory no, but in practice, kind of. I feel like their legacy has been co-opted by turds and frauds worse than nearly any other band. It's like the pop punk equivalent of Black Flag, where kids can jock them, but a quick conversation will reveal that they really don't know shit. That's not to say these kids don't listen to the bands (the posts I see on here making that assumption regarding any band with easily identifiable logos (Black Flag, Joy Division etc… drive me nuts), they just don't have any concept of what made these bands great and/or important. One thing I found really interesting is that when I tried to find Jawbreaker show flyers, there were almost none with the bands they get lumped in with (Samiam, Crimpshrine, Fifteen, Green Day etc…). There were a lot with bands who had closer ties to the Hardcore scene like Bad Trip, Undertow (who toured with Jawbreaker), Evergreen, Still Life, Engine Kid, Manumission, Underdog and Verbal Assault. To be clear, this is just from internet detective work, I was not there. I found it really interesting to see that they played with so many bands with Ebullition affiliation, and practically none with the Gilman crowd that they are always considered a part of. I'd like to find out more about the kinds of band they usually played with, because I feel like big chunks of their history have been filtered out and replaced by talking about whether Dear You was good. In case you're wondering, it's good and that shouldn't be up for debate.
As for the bootleg that's up for download, it's great! It's recorded shortly before they broke up while they were touring in support of Dear You. They sound quality is average for a boot from that era. What really steals the show for me (beyond the great jams of course) is just how funny the banter is. At one point, Blake is berating someone for throwing a bottle at them, when he stops mid sentence and berates someone for ratting out the guy who threw it. "Don't ever Narc!"
This bootleg also contains a song written after Dear You called 'Elephant'. I know that it's been circulating around the internet for a long time, so you might have it kicking around your computer, however, how you can have it in it natural environment.

The title game gave Mediapolis an unofficial holiday today.
Kids were out of school, banks were closed, and so were most businesses.
But not everyone closed up shop today.
"It's kind of like a ghost town isn't it," says Deb Vierling.
At ten to noon on a Friday afternoon, downtown Mediapolis felt different today. Vierling says there were very few
"People walking up and down the streets, into the Post Office, into the bank, into the library."
The closed signs give away the reason.
"Everybody supports everything, the music, the theatre, everybody is involved in things," says Vierling.
"No I'm going to be here, I'm working," says hairstylist Ruth Walljasper.
She kept her open sign on because she has no more children in school and will listen to the game on the radio.
"I have customers that need their hair done, and I'm not interested in going to the game," says Walljasper.
She counted the open stores on one hand. Including the café up the street.
"It was such a hard decision to decide whether to stay open today or go to the game," says Cafe Olde World Owner Patty Myers.
She will close for a few hours to watch the game on t-v and will re-open when it's over.
"When you own a restaurant it just seems like you need to be here," says Myers.
A feeling shared by the pharmacist across the street.
"It'll be a ghost town here this afternoon, I'm going to be about the only guy here," says pharmacist Fred Carruthers.
He normally fills 100 prescriptions on Fridays.
"Actually one of my busier days, this will be atypical, but we were busy the first four days of the week, so people were planning ahead," says Carruthers.
He expects few customers during the game. So he's got a plan to stay busy in the back.
"I've got a tv set up, a guy brought me his antenna, so I'll be watching as best I can."
As the rest of the town takes its break, until Monday.

|Zarif highlights expansion of cooperation between Iran and Turkmenistan
TEHRAN - The Iranian foreign minister expressed hope that by opening the railway project connecting Iran, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan the relations among the three countries would be strengthened.
Mohammad Javad Zarif made the remarks in a joint press conference with Turkmen Foreign Minister Rasit Meredow in Tehran on Saturday.
Zarif also said that his trip to Turkmenistan last month was very successful.
Pointing to the importance of relations, Zarif said three weeks after his trip to Turkmenistan Meredow made a trip to Iran at the top of a high-ranking delegation which includes minister of energy, railway officials, and the head of State Development Bank of Turkmenistan.
For his part, the Turkmen foreign minister said that an exhibition of Iranian commodities will be held in his country in the near future.
Meredow added that during the Iranian foreign minister's trip to Turkmenistan, the two countries' joint commission was held in which it was agreed to implement some "strategic projects" to develop ties.
The exhibition of Iranian commodities in Turkmenistan will be held on February 27.

Top Russian oil producer seeks half of rival
MOSCOW - Russian state giant Rosneft looked to cement its grip on oil production by announcing talks with BP over the British group's lucrative stake in the TNK-BP venture it co-owns with four tycoons, yesterday.
BP immediately said it "welcomed" the interest after a decade of acrimonious relations with Russian officials that threatened to imperil its future in the world's largest energy production market.
The announcement follows weeks of denials by Russia's largest oil company of any claims on a venture that has grown into the country's fourth largest crude producer since being formed in 2003.
BP on June 1 said it was seeking buyers for its 50 per cent stake because of bruising boardroom battles with the powerful billionaires who jointly operate a venture now responsible for nearly a third of the British groups oil output.
"Rosneft announces that, in connection with BP's recent statements regarding its intention to pursue a potential sale of its participation in TNK-BP, Rosneft has informed BP of Rosneft's interest in a potential acquisition of such participation," the company said in a statement.
Rosneft said it had also informed the tycoons who operate their stake in TNK-BP through the Alfa Access Renova (AAR) consortium of their interest in BP's stake.
BP for its part said "that while conducting parallel discussions with Rosneft and any other interested parties, it will negotiate in good faith with Alfa Access Renova in accordance with its legal obligations."
The state firm did not disclose the size of the stake under discussion.

Michelle Monaghan came out with gown blazing at the Warner Bros. and InStyle Golden Globe Awards After Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday evening.
The actress took her red-carpet entrance seriously with a Vera Wang sleeveless, chartreuse design featuring a cutout detail at the bodice and trapunto stitch accents.
Her clutch matched the slinky dress perfectly, while her coral-red lip and manicure popped against the brilliant yellow-green color.
With its halter neck, the DayGlo-like hue and that peephole at the bust, I couldn't help but be reminded of Jena Malone's Cushnie et Ochs after-party dress.

'Tea Party' Republicans Rebel Against National GOP
Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 1:41 pm
On March 11, when Gov. Charlie Crist (R-Fla.) entered the 2010 U.S. Senate race, Marco Rubio was in Washington. The former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives was ready for this moment, rumored for weeks, the entry of a Republican party dream candidate who threatened to push him out of the race. When Crist put out a press release announcing the run, Rubio's campaign pushed out a Web ad that showed Crist gazing into President Barack Obama's eyes at a rally for the economic stimulus package. As Crist went about his work for the day, Rubio met with possible campaign allies and conservative media.
In the office of the David All Group, a new media firm that's putting together much of Rubio's web campaign, David All clicked through the windows on his MacBook Pro and watched the social networks churn. Traffic at Rubio's web site was surging upward. Conservatives were retweeting Rubio's punchy messages, such as "Elections are best when they are about clear choices. Let the debate begin."
"This is Barack versus Hillary," said All. "This is going to be a battle about what the Republican Party stands for. We have to make a decision: Are we going to get behind candidates who are real reformers who can help the Republicans recover its brand?"
Florida's Republican Senate primary has quickly become a contest between the party's base and its national leadership. Since the start of the Obama administration, the national party has attempted to capture the energy of the base by endorsing anti-spending Tea Parties, opposing the Democratic agenda, and blaming the losses of 2006 and 2008 on a move away from fiscal conservatism. At the same time, it has courted more moderate candidates like Florida's Crist, California's former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, and former Gov. Tom Ridge (R-Pa.). Until he became a Democrat this month, the National Republican Senatorial Committee had supported Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) over conservative foot soldier Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania's Senate race. This disconnect between message and recruitment is starting to irk conservative activities and setting up heated primaries that the party would have preferred to avoid.
The coming Florida primary is shaping up to be the most brutal of the ideological primaries. Rubio, a 39-year-old Cuban-American who served for eight years in the Florida House — the last two years as speaker — entered the Senate race on May 5. Early on, he said that anyone who voted with the Senate Republican moderates "might as well be a Democrat." In March, Rubio quietly signed up Ann Herberger, a prolific fundraiser for Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, to stockpile cash for a campaign. In April, he came to Washington to talk with the Club for Growth, the fiscal conservative PAC that until April was led by Pat Toomey, and one that welcomed Crist into the race with pointed criticism. This, and an aggressive media strategy that has resulted in warm interviews with Fox News and National Review, has allowed Rubio to build buzz with conservative activists who fully expect Crist to lead the first rounds of polls.
"It will be closer than it looks right now," said Susan MacManus, a political scientist at the University of South Florida. "It's Crist's race to lose but there is a pent-up animus against him from mainstream Republican voters who don't like the fact that he's cozied up to President Obama."
Rubio is laying the groundwork for that by patiently laying out a litany of conservative complaints against Crist — his environmentalism, his appointment of a pro-choice judge, and above all his support for the economic stimulus package. "Charlie Crist has proven to have more confidence in the ability of government to grow the economy than I have and than Republicans should have," Rubio told National Review. While Crist supported the president, Rubio attended an anti-spending Tea Party and has produced a video that mashes up his speech from the event with interviews he conducted with other protesters — a video that has been played for attendees of Grover Norquist's Wednesday meetings of Washington conservatives.
"Rubio went to a Tea Party," said Javier Manjarres, chairman of the south Florida-based Conservative Republican Alliance. "Where was Crist? He didn't go to any Tea Parties. To stand with Obama like he did was a slap in the face of Republicans."
In some quarters of Florida's Republican base, there is lingering bitterness over Crist's olive branches to Democrats — he once said he was "open" to reparations for slavery — and the state GOP's decisions during the 2008 election. While Obama carried Florida, the party lost the House seats of scandalized Republican incumbents Rep. Tom Feeney and Rep. Ric Keller while winning the seat of disgraced Democratic Rep. Tim Mahoney. Republicans who worked on other races, without much party support, aren't won over by Crist or his endorsement from state party chairman Jim Greer.
"He too could very well next be the Arlen Specter and they're racing to him," said Vince Mariano, an aide to Ed Lynch, a Republican who ran against Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) and is running again in 2010. "This is yet another outrageous power play by the establishment to force a candidate on Floridians that, at best, they'll half-heartedly support. Democrats can look at it with glee, but there are serious principles at play. That's rarely the case on their side."
What irks conservatives who are being told to get behind moderate candidates is that the Republican Party has spent much of this year courting their support — pandering to them, as some activists suggested. After the April 15 Tea Parties, Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) talked about "embracing" the activists who've argued that the GOP lost its way with the big spending of the Bush years. Convincing them to buckle and support candidates like Crist, or to support a challenger to Pennsylvania's Toomey, cuts against their arguments.
"The Tea Party movement is non-partisan," said Tea Party and Top Conservatives on Twitter activist Michael Patrick Leahy, "but if the GOP is going to nominate candidates who do not promote and support fiscal responsibility, than the GOP is going to lose support from us."
Leahy criticized Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) and Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) for their plan to host a "Tea Party 2.0″ conference call Thursday, May 14, borrowing the message of the rallies to get support for gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. "This movement is about the mainstream class against the political class," said Leahy. "I personally think Sanford is a good governor, but it's a mistake for Sanford to co-opt the Tea Party Movement."
Justin Hart, another Tea Party organizer, is running new media projects for Chuck DeVore, a Republican assemblyman from California who is, at the moment, the only candidate running against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). The DeVore campaign closely watched the NRSC's decision on Crist, because the national committee has talked to former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina about entering the race and elbowing DeVore — considered too conservative to win a statewide election — out of the race. "Our main concern is that the NRSC is picking winners and losers," said Hart. "That mirrors what the Obama administration is doing with the economy, and the NRSC's record is one of complete failure over the last few years. Carly's new to politics and has decent name recognition? We've been down that road before in California. His name was 'Arnold.'"
DeVore, who attended a Tea Party in Modesto, contrasted his record with Fiorina's tacit support of the economic stimulus and the national party's belief that self-funding, "inexperienced, dilletente politican wannabees" could save the party in California. "That's the path of least resistance and it leads to defeat," said DeVore. "Even if they win some seats, they will wind wind up with principle-less individuals who perpetuate themselves in power. We saw what happened with that in 2006 and 2008. If we want the GOP to succeed in the future we need to get back to what makes us different than the Democrats."
As the NRSC continues to push for more moderate candidates, conservatives like Rubio, Toomey and DeVore have allies in high places. "It is always a problem when Republicans are not faithful to conservative views," said James Bopp, Jr., the Indiana RNC committeeman who is pushing for the party to pass a resolution asking the Democrats to rename themselves the Democrat Socialist Party. "When that happens, people become confused about the differences between Republicans and Democrats, and that is a prescription for Dem success."

HR 25, the FairTax bill, wasn't mentioned once. This is the cornerstone of the majority of tea party movements. "Don't tax us" won't get it anymore. HR 25 is the ONLY solution. This should specifically be in every "tea party" discussion.

If the Republican Party is to, once again, become and effective force, it will have to listen to the people, not direct them in paths that are compatible with the good ole boys who have acquired leadership positions. If they choose candidates that over the wishes of the base, they have no call on the base for support in the name of meaningless victories.

Quote from article: "This is Barack versus Hillary," said All. "This is going to be a battle about what the Republican Party stands for.
No, not really (at least not the first part of quote). Barack and Hillary were pretty much on the same page about most things. It was a simple contest of personalities. The Crist/Rubio fight is something more than just personalities, and thus may indeed be about what the Republican Party stands for.

I like this as I heard Rubio speak in Broward county, Florida and I liked most of what he said. He certainly leaned towards constitutional beliefs. I feel I need more info and I must research his record in the State legislature.

Ive voted republican for the past 4 elections and I feel betrayed. Bush was the final straw…talk about a sell out! He promised one thing and then changed after he won the election….his second term was a total bait and switch on the voters who put him there.
If the republican party is to have a snowballs chance, they have to return to fiscal responsibility!…and to the rights of the individual…
I'm leaning toward the Independent party for the next election unless i see some sanity in the republican party which has lost its conservative identity.

The people; the Republicans you are referring to are supporters of the constitution who supported RON PAUL.
This is a horrible misprint.
A POLITICIAN happened to proclaim to be a Tea Party organizer; when the reality of the situation is that he USED the momentum of the Tea Party movement to attempt to further his own political campaign and USED Marco Rubio and Marco Rubio accepted his invitation to speak at "his" "Tea Party".
July 4th was a case where a politiician infiltrated the Tea Party Movement, deceived Marco Rubio and the "attendees" some of whom were in coersion with this particular politician, into believing that everyone in Orlando would be there to hear him speak, when the reality was NO POLITICIAN was welcome to speak.
As a result of this presumptuousness of this ONE politician, the Tea Party Movement is not only watered down, now it has, because of the Marco Rubio name, reach the NATIONAL NEWS which is exactly what this particular politician wanted.
Unfortunately for Marco Rubio, this could very well be the underlying reason he will loose in the end because of this one individual who used dirty underhanded filthy crudeness to horn in and show his ignorance to the whole world about the fact that he is no different than any other politician out there.

These include the overall objective as well as the current orders you must complete. Check in on your objectives and orders frequently to stay focused on the purpose and execution of your mission. Also on the menu screen is a larger map of the area in which you are operating.
This is not only larger than the minimap, but it also shows a larger area. This map uses the same symbols as the minimap and also shows all detected enemies as well as all friendlies. Use it to find enemies that are too far away to appear on your minimap...

Thomas County - A bank account has been set up to help the family of a Thomas County deputy paralyzed after a Christmas Eve crash.
Deputy Chad Griffin was taking an inmate from Pavo to the Thomas County Jail Monday when he hit a horse that was standing on Highway 122.
The horse crashed through the windshield and pinned Griffin against the cage behind him.
He suffered severe spinal cord injuries.
Griffin is now being treated at the Shepard Spinal Center in Atlanta.
An account under his name has been set up at the Rose City Credit Union on South Hansel Street in Thomasville to help his family with medical expenses.
The horse was killed. The inmate was not injured.

Magical Night at Maggie's Celebrating Ten Years of Cabaret, Maggie's Milestones
Posted June 20, 2013on:
On Friday, June 14, 2013 Maggie's Cabaret celebrated its 10 year anniversary with
It's a not so secret secret among performers who have performed there that Maggie's is the one of the best cabaret rooms in town. Nowhere do you enjoy a warmer and more engaged audience. Nowhere do you find a venue that is more supportive of honest, authentic, personal interpretation of song.
I got to join a cast of fabulous cabaret performers and musicians:

With both George and Alex together at the keys, the song was led by Steven Cupo with cast joining half way through, and audience joining towards the end:
Come taste the wine, come hear the band
Come blow your horn start celebrating, Right this way your table's waiting
No use permitting some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret old chum, Come to the cabaret
Come taste the wine, come hear the band
Come blow your horn start celebrating, Right this way your table's waiting
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb, it isn't that long a stay
Life is a cabaret old chum, Only a cabaret old chum
And WE love a cabaret!!!
Some Thoughts (published in the program) from the Producers of Maggie's Cabaret
A word from Artistic Director Cindy Hutchins
I remember fondly when Mike Armstrong and I went over to our former rector's home and proposed starting a cabaret series at St. Margaret's. Susan Blue was enthusiastic and said "Let's call it Maggie's" and, obviously the name has stuck.
Maggie's Cabaret presented its first cabaret evening on May 9, 2003. Titled "A Grand Night for Singing," it featured the four section leaders from St. Margaret's choir, at that time, with Dr. Theodore Guerrant at the piano. Since then there have been many grand nights of singing in our parish hall.
Tonight is the 30th. I can hardly believe it and am so very grateful to all the singers and pianists from Washington and NY who have given so generously of their time and talent. I am also extremely grateful to the clergy and staff of St. Margaret's who assist me in making this happen approximately four times a year.
Then there's Mike Armstrong, my friend and co-producer, who turns this space into a warm and welcoming cabaret hall by coordinating volunteers; buying food, drinks, and flowers; setting up sound, lights and our "stage;" and pulling together numerous other details while always being available to me for advice and brainstorming.
And then, of course, there's you – St. Margaret's famously warm audience. Thank you for embracing this series and for making this a place where performers want to perform.
We have 10 singers with us this evening. I purposely did not list the program so that you will have the fun of discovering who is singing tonight. Many, many thanks to all of them and to our pianists Alex Tang and George Fulginiti Shakar. We have the cream of the crop here this evening and I am so excited for you to hear everyone. Most all have sung at Maggie's at least once in the past. Now please sit back and enjoy these wonderful singers and the songs they have chosen to share with you this evening.
A word from Managing Director Michael Armstrong:
What started as a conversation between the alto in the front row and the tenor in the back row of the St. Margaret's choir has, unbelievably at times, resulted in a 10-year run of our wonderful Maggie's Cabaret. When Cindy and I sang together in the choir, we would often grab lunch after and explore our mutual love of the great standards, the songs our parents played for us, and the desire to see a venue in DC that would increase the appreciation and exposure to the art form we call "cabaret."
I really wasn't aware that when I saw Bobby Short at the Carlyle, or listened to interpretations by Frank and Ella (and yes, Barbra!), or heard fresh presentations of Broadway tunes, that a whole "cabaret culture" existed. But over the years Cindy has made it a point to expose me to great performers at different shows in DC, and to very carefully select people to build our "brand" at Maggie's. What a revelation, and what a thrill to hear a live singer, in a great space, close enough to sense their emotion and memorable enough to touch your heart.
Over the years we have seen overflow crowds, watched curious attendees turn into parishioners, and given countless people their first –but not last– exposure to this special thing called cabaret. When we started, the Parish Hall had not been renovated, and we used no microphones or special lighting. We were lucky to pull off one or two shows a year. Now we have four shows a year and a space that just shines. Our original goal of presenting good music and establishing St. Margaret's as a friendly venue has been exceeded. Many thanks to our loyal volunteers, our donors, and our enthusiastic audiences. It has been a fast and remarkable 10 years!

I stole this picture from friend Justin's online post. He took a picture of the Maggie's stage at the sound check before the show. I still love the idea of the "empty space." The space here is empty, but oh the magic that was about to take place right there…

LOVE STORIES: IT TAKES ALL KINDS, A Valentine Cabaret at Maggie's Cabaret, Friday, February 1, 2013
A NEW SEASON: SONGS FOR SUSAN, June 4, 2010 at Maggie's Cabaret
Performer's Note
Before I began writing this blog in November of 2009, I performed my one-woman cabaret show IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE (music directed by the over-the-top fabulous Howard Breitbart) in June of 2009 at Maggie's Cabaret and I am proud to have performed in at least 3 other group cabarets at Maggie's in addition to the others listed here. Maggie's is a wonderful place and I wish it MUCH success and many, many more years and I hope that in those years, I'll get to perform there lots and lots. My heartfelt and jubilant congratulations to Michael and Cindy for their incredible work making it all happen and to the community at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church which has lovingly opened its arms to the artists of cabaret and has nurtured its neighborhood and congregation.
A Wonderful Night at Maggie's Cabaret with "Love Stories" (and the Songs We Sang)
Posted February 9, 2013on:
What a delightful evening we had at Maggie's Cabaret on February 1st with the concert titled LOVE STORIES: IT TAKES ALL KINDS, a cabaret-concert collaboration between Maggie's Cabaret and the DC Cabaret Network. It was a full house with folks standing in the back and a standing ovation at the end. Everyone enjoyed an evening celebrating love with songs from many perspectives, styles and genres. It was truly wonderful.
Proceeds from the event went to support St. Margaret's Episcopal Church. Cindy Hutchins (Artistic Director of Maggie's Cabaret) and Michael Armstrong (Managing Director of Maggie's Cabaret) produced the evening and George Fulginiti-Shakar was Music Director and Accompanist. Many thanks to the many volunteers who staffed the evening at St. Margaret's.

Wrap-up about the event posted on the St. Margaret's Episcopal Church website:
Personal story:
My dear friend George Fulginiti-Shakar not only Music Directed and Accompanied the event, but he also played the role of MC. Before the show, he asked each person to fill out an index card with a few interesting facts about themselves.
I wrote:
My middle name is Leatha. You pronounce it like "Lisa" with a lisp. My great-grandmother's name was Leatha. Leatha spell checks (or at least it did for a long time in MS Word) to "Leather." Everson spell checks (or at least it did for a long time in MS Word) to "Evasion." So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Emily Leather Evasion.
Please forgive me for this infraction, but this sort of thing makes me chuckle. Especially since it is true. I did not add that one of my dad's pet names for me was "Lethal," but there you are. I do love my name, but like Catalina Magdalena Hoopensteiner Wallendiner Hogan Logan Bogan, there's not much I can do about the fact that it's the name my mother gave me.

LOVE STORIES: IT TAKES ALL KINDS: A Valentine Cabaret at Maggie's Cabaret
I've been combing over the lyrics of the song Rhode Island is Famous for You after an interesting conversation following a performance at Maggie's Cabaret the other night. Someone confronted me about the veracity of the lyric "Grand Canyons come from Colorado…"
I did some study on the lyric to justify it as it is (or to "agree to disagree" with it, knowing if it is incorrect and thereby relying on "the suspension of disbelief" to make it singable) and found that, though the Grand Canyon itself is not in Colorado, the Grand Canyon (residing as it does in the states of Arizona, Nevada and Utah) was created by the grinding waters of the Colorado River and that there are canyons in the state of Colorado which are indeed grand, therefore the lyric is good.
Then I thought about the plural: Canyons. The sheet music clearly prints "Canyons." It is not "The Grand Canyon" it is "Grand Canyons." That should have been my tip-off right there. I'd immediately gone to study The Grand Canyon and then wondered about the canyons of Colorado without going directly to the lyric as printed in the music. Though I ended up in the right place, the first order of business should have been the printed music.
That gets me to a subject regarding the performance of the song: DICTION! I do THINK of the lyric as plural and, at least in my head, sing "Canyons." I must have failed to make that "s" heard (or understood with my clarity of thought on the subject) since that "s" alone would have, or at least could have, cleared the question.
What I'm grateful for now, was the conversation alone. The conversation was a good one (even if my understanding and my diction at the performance were not as good as they could have been) and now I fully understand the whole business. I have a clear understanding (and visual images to illustrate the movie in my head) of that lyric and facts to back it up. I also have gone back and looked at a finer point of the printed music…the plural "Canyons." That little "s" points the way to understand what's going on here…not just one Grand Canyon, but any one of the many canyons that are grand in Colorado.

I've lost count of how many Sing Books performances I've been privileged to share over the last few years, but I've not stood up in front of a microphone to sing for grown-ups since about a year ago, which I get to do in a couple of days, something I'm very much looking forward to doing. That said, brushing up on a few performance reminders is always a good thing to do.
And, since I consider each Sing Books performance to be its own kind of cabaret performance, these reminders are extra helpful.
A few nuggets of advice from Master Teachers that I've collected over the years to remind me what Cabaret Singing IS…what it is all about:
- Don't forget that, regardless of your interpretation, the words and music must fit comfortably together. "Listen to your heart and just sing." (Bob Harrington)
- "Cabaret is about specificity." (Wendy Lane Bailey)
- "There is no fourth wall in cabaret. The fourth wall is the one you walk through to get into the room." (Erv Raible)
- "The performer is a guide through the story of the song." Wendy Lane Bailey
- Remember what George Fulginiti-Shakar said about rehearsing with taped music (or any accompaniment). Your job is NOT to follow the piano or accompaniment. Your job is to experience the song and express that experience to the audience.
- "The central point remains: In cabaret, you're doing much more than singing. You're communicating through song." (Bob Harrington)
- Do all the homework. Work out for yourself what each word of the song means to you. Then TRUST and let it go. The influence of your work will be there. Sing from your heart.
- Once you've done all the homework and rehearsed, approach each performance as an improv, an opportunity to tell the story new to a new group of people…as Tovah Feldshuh said "Write the performance not in stone, but in water."
- A cabaret song is "…expressing a burning thought that the singer needs personally to covey…" (Michael Miyazaki 090608 on cabaretdc.wordpress.com)
- There should be no difference between the person who is standing backstage from the person who steps up the the mic (Lina Koutrakos)
- TELL THE TRUTH (Lina Koutrakos)
- Remember, though, "songs weren't written to be spoken, and some things that work fine to music sound rather questionable as prose," and "a lot of what makes a song work is coming from the singer, not the song." [BH]
- "There's just as much that's cerebral going on, and a lot of it occurs because constant repetition leads to the internalization of a song." (BH)

I've had the occasion lately to write up a few profiles and bios explaining what Sing Books is and why I'm doing. I'm posting a couple of them here so that I can see them in print and maybe provide a few perspectives on what I'm actually doing here! To me, the best way to explain it, is to DO it!
With Sing Books what matters most is the DOING. But sometimes one must use words of explanation to get folks to come along for the experience.
Here are a couple of my latest attempts:
A bio for "LOVE STORIES: IT TAKES ALL KINDS: A Valentine Cabaret at Maggie's Cabaret" on Friday, February 1, 2013:
Emily Leatha Everson Gleichenhaus is thrilled to be at Maggie's again singing with dear friends. Emily's live-performance program and blog SING BOOKS WITH EMILY synthesizes Emily's experience in musical theater, cabaret, recital, motherhood and teaching and her love for research, song, and picture books. Emily performs her SING BOOKS WITH EMILY program many times a week at local schools and libraries and daily explores and chronicles the wonderful world of Singable Picture Books in her blog: www.SingBooksWithEmily.wordrpess.com.
A bio for "SING BOOKS WITH EMILY at Reading a Family Affair (RAFA), Literacy Council of Northern Virginia" on Saturday, March 2, 2013. This bio was written by one of the event organizers, but I liked it not written by me, using words to describe my program and experience that what I generally use:
The mission of Sing Books with Emily is to share the wonderful world of Singable Picture Books which combine the magical wonders of music, text, and illustration. Emily Leatha Everson Gleichenhaus has been nominated for a 2010 Washington Area Music Association (WAMA) "Wammie" in the "Cabaret Artist" category. She premiered her show "Oh, What a Beautiful Day: Sing Books with Emily, the Cabaret" in June of 2011. In August of 2011, Emily returned to the Kennedy Center to perform in a Staged Reading of the new musical "Kris Kringle, the Musical" as part of the Page to Stage Festival.
My new write up for the DC Cabaret Network Newsletter:
Emily Leatha Everson shares her unique program SING BOOKS WITH EMILY, synthesizing live performance, educational discussion, music and song through the vehicle of the Singable Picture Books.

No doubt about it, Grandma's Feather Bed, is an all-time Sing Books blockbuster favorite. All kids of every age ask for it. But, why not? It's funny, fun, has a great beat, a loving subject, and a challenging-tongue-twisting chorus that is fun to hear, figure out and master.
I'm quite delighted for the chance to share GRANDMA'S FEATHER BED at a cabaret/concert in a couple of days and in the course of a doing a little extra research on the song, just to find out if anything new has popped up about the song in cyberspace, I ran across this adorable animated video, illustrating GRANDMA'S FEATHER BED (with soundtrack sung by the great John Denver),

I found a little stash of performance photos the other day (posted on 3/12/2012) and that find sent me on a trip down memory lane and I just kept going. But the reminiscence leads me to muse on how each person's unique experience can combine to make something new and useful for the world. This is how many facts of my life have combined to create my Sing Books with Emily program and blog.
I got to thinking about how I'd ended up Singing Books and realized that most of my life experience has led me here and prepared me for this project. My theatre experience as a student and professional performer, experiences in training and as a professional vocal and cabaret performer certainly prepared me for Sing Books.
But there's a lot more to it than just that. My Paternal Grandmother (Grace Evangelyn Morgan Everson, who I called "Penny") was a second grade teacher at John Strange Elementary School in Indianapolis, IN for THIRTY YEARS! Penny taught me to love stories and books and she read many wonderful books to my sister and I. Also, my Maternal Great Aunt (Florence Geisler, who I called "Aunt Flossie") was a career elementary school educator and Professor at Butler University. Penny and Aunt Flossie were fantastic teachers! Education is in my DNA.
In my first two college summers, I worked at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. It was an incredible experience that has informed quite a few things for Sing Books. One vital experience was that I got my first introduction to the art of story telling. One of the exhibits in the museum was about how many cultures around the world practice the art of oral story telling and the museum needed someone to tell stories for visitors. I jumped at the chance. The exhibit curators gave me a packet of stories to learn and then I got to call groups together within the exhibit and tell the stories, many of which required audience participation. It was so easy to learn in that situation how a story ENGAGES people (regardless of creed, race or anything else). We should not underestimate the power and importance of story-telling, especially when done in a live personal experience (and especially, in my opinion, when set to music).
Post University, I got to spend a great couple of years performing in Indianapolis theatres (Indiana Repertory Theatre and Starlight Musicals Indianapolis). Then, I moved to NYC late in 1992. I did end up performing a little and took classes at the amazing HB Studios on Bank Street in the Village. But, I've come to realize that my time at Microsoft Corporation NYC (in my first office job ever starting in early 1993) as an Administrative Assistant and as an Events Planner (at Microsoft and later at AIG) helped me learn to organize and document this vast subject of Singable Picture Books in this blog and to create my own SPBs using my PC. I had no idea what to do with a computer before I started working at Microsoft. Also at Microsoft, I became very involved with the local community, facilitating heaps of dollars worth of software donations (to organizations like The New York Public Library, Children's Friends for Life, Crossroads Theatre Company, and many more), and working with young people in the community by organizing Microsoft's participation in events like "Take Our Daughters to Work Day," "Cooks for Kids (Children's Friends for Life)" and as President of the World Wide Plaza Student Outreach organization. Kudos, of course, to Microsoft for its company giving policy to allow for these donations! These community efforts have always been very important to me, "acting locally" and using my skills and talents to improve the community for young people.
Another important effort for me was for two years serving as a lunchtime reader with the "Everybody Wins" program. What a fabulous organization that is, with a charming and vitally meaningful mission. I read with a little girl named Lumi at PS 111 for two years at lunchtime, once a week. It was fun and a great experience for the both of us. The experience also solidified my belief and understanding of the benefits of reading (or singing) books with children.
Things changed and I moved onto a new job as Events Planner at AIG, which is where I met my husband Charlie. We soon got married and set up house in Washington, DC and not long after that Mo and Eloise were born. Beginning to collect picture books for them, I accidentally noticed that a few were created from songs when I started singing books to my children. Going to look for more, snowballing the efforts over the years to collect and sing the songs, along with my need to know everthing possible about the songs and books in order to feel qualified to sing them, led to the creation of the blog. I started the blog to house and share the info and personal experience I was able to gather about the songs contained in the books.
Around the same time that Charlie and I moved to DC, I began to take voice lessons again and study the art of cabaret through the DC Cabaret Network (and serving as a member of the Board of Directors from 2005-2012) and learned about telling stories with song, singing directly to the audience in a kind of conversation, singing from a personal point of view (instead of from a character) and singing honestly and authentically (as opposed to "selling" the song as I'd often been advised to do). I found the medium of performance that was so in tune with how I wanted to perform and one that fit my needs as a stay-at-home mom.
And then it all came together, Sing Books has turned out to be a joyous synthesis of everything: children, education, community, theatrical-cabaret-vocal performance, and books. What fun it all is and I'm so grateful for the chance to share it all.

Sing Books with Emily and the DC Cabaret Network (and What the DC Cabaret Network Means to Me)
Sing Books with Emily and the DC Cabaret Network (and What the DC Cabaret Network Means to Me)
Posted July 6, 2012on:
I feel so deeply, so passionately about my program Sing Books with Emily. In many ways my entire life experience has come together in it. Everything from babysitting, substitute teaching, working at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis to being a parent and performing in plays, musicals and cabaret have helped facilitate the effort. And, importantly, being an active member of the DC Cabaret Network (DCCN) and serving on its Board of Directors was (and continues to be) essential to the creation of the Sing Books project. I am incredibly grateful to DCCN for the opportunities it has given me to learn and perform. DCCN has also given me the chance to meet, work with and learn from a fabulous group of talented people. And, thanks to the DC Cabaret Network's offerings, my ideas for Sing Books with Emily were able to germinate and grow.
I was on the board of the DC Cabaret Network for nearly 7 years and will, of course, continue as an active member. Thinking back over the years that I have studied the Art of Cabaret (and will continue to study and will always consider myself a student), reminds me of what an incredibly important role the DC Cabaret Network has played in my life as a performer and the indispensable role DC Cabaret Network played in helping me create Sing Books with Emily, which has miraculously turned into something special for my community. I believe in my heart that the program is not just entertaining and enriching for the children, but that it is also important for conveying and enlivening musical heritage.
Without the DC Cabaret Network, Sing Books simply would not be. The Sing Books "experience" involves me sitting, Singable Picture Book in hand, before a group of children and performing songs LIVE, singing directly to the children (or any person of any age who happens to be there), from a personal point-of-view, sharing the words and music and everything I know and understand about the songs. Factual information and my own life experience combine to give me something to say in introducing the songs and, of course, inform the performances themselves. In other words, in my mind at least, Sing Books is in many ways a "cabaret" experience but which also just happens to employ Singable Picture Books and is most often performed in classrooms.
Most of what I learned about cabaret and the personal style of reaching out to others with song (conveying personal experience while simultaneously participating in the history of our musical heritage) came to me in one way or another though the funnel of the DC Cabaret Network. DC Cabaret Network provides many benefits to its members, including performance opportunities at Open Mics, a newsletter with information about cabaret performances and classes, salons, workshops, and the chance to establish relationships with other performers, directors, musicians, and teachers.
The DC Cabaret Network is facilitated by a group of 5-7 volunteers who are steeped in the world of professional musical performance and who bring to the table their passion, time, energy, experience and considerable skills and talents, talents which are not exclusively musical. Other skills frequently employed include the ability to cooperate as an ensemble and establish consensus, the ability to be forward thinking, resourceful and creative in solving problems, as well as skills like perseverance, organization, communication, writing, and technology.
It is important to note that the DC Cabaret Network is FACILITATED by the Board of Directors, but the organization itself is not just the Board of Directors. The DC Cabaret Network is a NETWORK of people who all have similar interests, and in the sharing of those interests they find ways to grow, experience, explore and learn about their craft TOGETHER. People in the network don't just wait for things to be provided, they work and play together inside and outside the structure of the network and its membership to make new things happen.
Like so many things in life (including the artistic adventure of the art of cabaret itself), the DC Cabaret Network is exactly what each person makes of it for him or herself. It is exciting to see what so many of its members have done using experience and relationships gained through DCCN as a launch pad to create new projects. Many shows, workshops and performances would not have happened unless DC Cabaret Network had been there. The Sing Books with Emily project (the blog, performance program and the cabaret) is just one example.
I stepped down from the board a few months ago in order to devote more time to my Sing Books with Emily projects, but my heart will always be IN the Network. I give the DC Cabaret Network (the organization and all its members) my deepest gratitude and I look forward to participating more and more in the many opportunities to stand up and perform and learn and associate with so many like-minded, cabaret-loving friends.

The Next Fox News Anchor
I know teachers aren't supposed to have favorites, but N. happens to be one of mine. He has an unbelievably quick and sharp wit. I know I can always count on him for a perfectly-timed smart remark.
The other day he was working on homework in my room after school and was whining about not wanting to do the problems and arguing (in a nice way) about why they weren't worth doing. He turned to the ludicrous circular logic he so adores, and this conversation ensued.
Me: You should work for Fox News.
N: I bet at Fox News they don't have to do math.
Me: Very true.
N: They just have to tell it like it is. They just have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Me: This is an incredible conversation. I'm writing this down.
N: Can you send it to Fox NewsCorp? And see if they'll give me a job. My news show is going to be called "The Voice of Reason". I'll be like "Good morning, America. The other day I was walking down the street and saw some liberals protesting, asking for rights. You want rights? You can get right out that door!"
Seriously, he could get a job there.

Breakfast in Mountain View????
Original post made by Brian on Jun 24, 2010
All I'm asking for is a couple of eggs and bacon. Here's an idea, put one of Castro! I have lived in numerous foodie cities where a good breakfast spot can thrive in a downtown area serving nothing but breakfast all damn day!

It may not be greasy enough for you, but Hobee's offers terrific breakfasts, and the Rengstorff/Central Expressway location is pretty close to downtown MV. Eric.

Have you tried "American Breakfast" at Los Charros?

If you're willing to drive a little bit South on San Antonio Road the Original Pancake House in Los Altos is pretty good.
