There's a musical extravaganza taking place on stage at Chicago's Black Ensemble Theater.
The current show "Chicago's Golden Soul (A '60s Revue)," running through March 30, stars a stellar collection of tunes performed by a dynamic cast. Written, directed and produced by Black Ensemble Theater founder Jackie Taylor, "Chicago's Golden Soul" is a true celebration of Windy City song and the homegrown musical groups who brought the hits to fans during the '60s.
In a message printed in the show's program, director Taylor writes "Music is the common denominator when it comes to our sameness as human beings and we are proud to share and experience these wonderful memories, while introducing a new and different kind of music to the younger generation."
Taylor's "Chicago's Golden Soul," was first produced more than 15 years ago but sounds fresh and exciting while in the hands of the spirited ensemble members who have no problem belting out great tunes from the likes of artists such as The Impressions, Major Lance, Etta James, Betty Everett, The Chi-Lites and more.
"Chicago's Golden Soul" progresses at a fast pace and has no lulls as the singers delve into the compositions that put Chicago's musical scene on the map.
Among song highlights are Indianapolis native Alanna Taylor's performance of Etta James' "At Last" and a scorching delivery of "Summertime" by BET favorite Lawrence Williams.
Included in the roster of hit tunes are "Make It Easy on Yourself," "Shoop Shoop Song," "Turn Back The Hands of Time," a medley of Chi-Lites songs and "Let It Be Me."
Cast members include David L. Simmons, Rob Love, Ta-Tynisa Wilson, Katrina Richard, Christina D. Harper, Brian Nelson, Cecil Jones and Byron Willis.
Also being presented at Black Ensemble Theater through March 30 is "The Story of Curtis Mayfield."
FYI: "Chicago's Golden Soul" continues to March 30 at Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, 4450 N. Clark St. Call (773) 769-4451 or visit blackensembletheater.org for tickets and more information.

I like this! Started out kind of weird with black Akua inks spread all over. Then I added red, yellow, scraped it a bit. About 20x30 or so on canvas.
I like this! Started out kind of weird with black Akua inks spread all over. Then I added red, yellow, scraped it a bit. About 20x30 or so on canvas.
Making notecards of Gèrard Squirrel. A local flower shop thought they were perfect since gardeners have a real love-hate relationship with squirrels. Who can resist Gèrard, even though he's probably headed for your tulip bulbs?
26X30" on canvas. Three days ago this was a totally different painting. A brownstone in Brooklyn. I was going for a rather abstract expression of this beautiful building, and it was going well for awhile, then got too messed up to rescue. Gessoed over it and just started making swirls.
Small, 8x10, Vase of Mums. Going to start selling originals and not make prints, I think.
Washington Street, Brooklyn. Akua inks and my secret scraper. Pretty abstract! I think I can see the bridge in there.
Hmmm, trying to be more abstract in my landscapes. It's hard for me to paint 'something' when I'm doing abstract. I only think in terms of shapes and forms and colors but not trees and people and clouds. Well, I'm going to keep trying this approach and see how it goes. This is a scene from my New York visit to Governor's Island. Quite an interesting place, just a short ferry ride away.
It's been a busy summer so far. I spent a month in New York, and I could have used another 3 or 4 months. I was walking for miles every day, basically exploring neighborhoods. My plan is to move there. I don't know how I will make that happen…might have to just do extended stays for a bit. I have no problem moving there without a job or an apartment (I do have someplace to stay short term, and I can get temp work) but I don't know what to do with my stuff here. Rent my apartment, furnished?? I don't know. It's a work in progress. Meanwhile, I have lots of great photos that I'm going to paint, mostly Brooklyn and Governor's Island. I better get busy!
This looks like a great subject for one of my small paintings. Or I can paint it in a more abstract style, too.
Komodos, inspired by my New York Friend. Komodos like their space, they need solitude, but they can mate for life when they find that special one.
I painted this garage before, but I really like the summer shadows. Especially now since it's April 1 and it's snowing here..
More N.E. Minneapolis garage shadows. Kind of monochromatic.
Yellow Garage In The Snow. Kind of cute but the style reminds me of some artist out of the '30s or something.
No name yet.. Had a couple suggestions though. Acrylic and crayon, 23x30" or so
Black Door, painted in 2014. Acrylic on paper.
This new work is called Free Flowing. I like the bold colors in this painting. I felt as if I wanted to do more but I'm going to keep it this way for now. It is about 23"x22"
Ah yes, another re-do. How many months did I look at it and hate it? I think it works now. I like the orderly squares and the breezy crayon strokes to contrast. 30" x 23".

One of the subjects that seems to interest people most about Firehouse living is how we feed ourselves. Common questions include: Who cooks? What kind of food do you eat? Does the City pay for your food? How come I see your guys in the grocery store? What happens if you get called out while you're eating?
I have learned to understand that these things may not be obvious to a lot of folks and now appreciate the fact that they are interested in how we do things.
Here is how it works:
Bowling Green Firefighters work 24 hour shifts starting at 7 a.m. and ending at 7 a.m. the next day. They have to eat during that time so each shift includes two meals, lunch and dinner or "supper" depending on where you're from.
Who cooks? Firefighters take turns cooking. Sometimes for a two week period or it may be day to day. It depends on the schedule. Sooner or later everyone has to cook. Some Firefighters are pretty good cooks…others, not so much. During my career I have worked with Firefighters who had been to French cooking schools and with others who could not boil water (at least when they first started). Most Firefighters fall somewhere in between. If you are willing to learn, there is usually a lot of interest in helping the cook, after all, everyone is stuck eating the result.
What kind of food do you eat? The food has changed a lot over the years. 25 years ago you would find a five gallon bucket of lard next to the stove. Just about EVERY DAY included beans and cornbread. Fried food ruled! The food was good but maybe not so good for you. Over time, Firefighters became more interested in healthy cooking. Today the grill gets used a lot and salads are the norm. During the winter, chili, soups, and large casserole type dishes are common table fare. Learning how to make the right amount for 10 to 12 hungry people is one of the most important things to learn. Tradition says the cook goes through the line last. You learn not to come up short.
What about shopping for groceries? That's right; the cook is responsible for procuring the day's food. Most of the time, the crew goes to the store with the assigned cook. The cook is in charge of deciding what to cook and how much money to spend on it. They have a budget to follow.
Does the City buy your food? No. All Firefighters chip in to finance the food. On average it will cost about $100.00 per month for each person. So in a typical year, Bowling Green Firefighters spend about $133,000 buying groceries. That ain't chump change!!
What happens if you get an emergency call while you're eating? This happens a lot. We go. It does not matter what you are doing when a call comes in – you have one minute to be on the truck ready to go. Mealtime is no different. It is the cook's job to turn of the stove and secure the kitchen. Sometimes you get back in time to finish the meal, sometimes not. It's just part of the job.
One thing you learn is to not complain about the cooking unless you are willing to help. I once overheard a guy complain about too much cheese in the lasagna. Guess what? Extra cheese went in immediately. Another complained about too much chicken to suit him. Guess what? Chicken every meal for two months. Firehouse etiquette, you learn quick.
Thanks for your interest, Chief Johnson

Female employees at Facebook and Apple now have the option to freeze their eggs. The companies claim the added benefit is an attempt to attract more women workers.

From the Collection–John Henry Belter Sofa

LifeGem® Prices

LifeGem UK Ltd - A company registered in England No 4719934 - VAT No 990 0868 90

I don't think it was any accident that I found out about LifeGem shortly after my husband died. Then I thought can I really afford it? I thought about it for several months. Eventually I decided to go ahead.
I'm so glad I did. The Diamond is beautiful and absolutely unique. I have had it set into a ring and I know my husband would be very pleased, especially as I didn't have an engagement ring.
