Shasta Living Streets presents March Fourth Marching Band in
benefit for organization looking to build better bikeways and trails
“The kind of spectacle that deserves
the word awesome.”
- Atlanta Journal Constitution
With a rallying cry of “Joy Now!”
March Fourth Marching Band (known
as M4 by its growing legion of fans or
simply MarchFourth) throws itself and the
audience into a swirling volcano of highenergy music and spectacle.
Shasta Living Streets presents March
Fourth Marching Band on March 8 at 7:30
p.m. at the Cascade Theatre in Redding.
Opening is the local band 4 Pounds of
Lightning, featuring former M4 member
Taylor Aglipay.
Tickets are priced from $25 to $29 and
are available online at cascadetheatre.
org, by phone at (530) 243-8877 or at the
Cascade Theatre box office, 1733 Market
St., Redding. A portion of the proceeds will
benefit Shasta Living Streets.
Aside from the band’s marching band
themed costumes, percussion corps and
brass, MarchFourth is far from a “marching
band” in any traditional sense, though the
band has been known to parade down
Main Street before taking the stage.
M4 is anchored by funky electric bass,
and has been evolving into a more guitarand vocal-driven musical experience.
In one 90-minute set the band will
take you on a journey from the swamps
of Louisiana to the gypsy camps of
eastern Europe to the African jungle by
way of Brazil, along the way stopping to
sample the deepest grooves of the best
of American funk, rock, jazz and boiling
it all together in cinematic fashion with
high-stepping stilt-acrobatics and sexy
dancers.
At the core of the band is its DIY
ethic. The band has been writing and
arranging all of its own material, designing
and fabricating its own costumes and
merchandise, developing its own
choreography and managing itself from
day one.
March Fourth Marching Band (aka MarchFourth and M4) are slated to
perform at the Cascade Theatre in Redding on March 8.
MarchFourth Marching Band got its
name from the date of their first show:
March 4, 2003. It all began when a handful
of artists and musicians in Portland, Ore.,
decided to put together a marching band
for a Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras party on
March 4, originally performing a 7-song
set of tunes that included covers of Rebirth
Brass Band, Fela Kuti and Fleetwood Mac.
By 2004 MarchFourth Marching Band
had been dubbed M4 by the local press
(a nickname that sticks to this day), and
was voted Best Local Band by Portland
alt-weekly readers. Their first annual
birthday party on March 4, 2004 was a
sold out show.
M4 was ready for a real challenge in
2006, so they planned a two-week trip
to Germany for 35 people in conjunction
with the FIFA World Cup. There they
won the “Best in Show” award at the
Altonale Festival, beating over 50 other
performance troupes from around the
world.
Opening is 4 Pounds of Lightning, the
most recent project of Aglipay who spent
the last decade touring with MarchFourth
Marching Band.
Aglipay, who juggles between guitar,
accordion, banjo and a variety of wind
and percussion instruments, was raised
in Trinity County and is flanked by his
longtime friends and fellow Trinity County
natives Nathaniel Gravette (upright bass)
and Danyel Aglipay (violin, glockenspiel).
Joining them on drums and a homemade
percussion instrument he calls the
“Wizzbang” is Stevo Cantrell (The Bucky
Walters).
The event is also a fundraiser for
Shasta Living Streets, a local civic
organization executive director Anne
Thomas said is dedicated to building
better bikeways, trails and walkable cities.
“It was started by a handful of
enthusiasts in 2010 and the group now
includes 250 members and alliances with
many organizations,” Thomas said.
She said that Shasta Living Streets
works to build better bikeways, trails and
walkable cities by inspiring a vision for
livable communities, sharing information
about safety, providing services like
valet bicycle parking, producing events
like Family Bicycling Day, and engaging
with the community and local agencies
in collaborative efforts to make quality of
life improvements in our cities and towns.
“Living Streets add value to adjacent
land and neighborhoods and are designed
to support local business and vital
neighborhoods and family life,” she said,
adding that they allow people ages 8 to
80 to lead an active lifestyle and bicycle
and walk for everyday transportation,
health and joy.
“Shasta Living Streets members
believe we have an exciting opportunity
to build great cities and towns in our
region by making bicycling and walking
safe, convenient and fun,” Thomas
said. “This creates more vibrant and
connected communities and supports our
local businesses by helping them attract
customers, retain talented staff and attract
tourists.
“Today young professionals and CEOs
are drawn to live and raise a family where
they can lead an active lifestyle and
appreciate the outdoors. They want to be
able to do so in their daily lives, not just
on the weekends.”
Oaksong March concerts include reunited Lewis and Kallick
The Oaksong Music Society continues
their season in March with even more
“way cool music” as they present two
concerts at the historic Frank Lloyd
Wright-designed Pilgrim Congregational
Church at 2850 Foothill Blvd. in Redding.
On March 14, they bring to town
Johnsmith, a singer, songwriter and
storyteller who is a second-generation
Irishman with roots in small-town rural
Iowa.
That’s followed on March 27 with
bluegrass in a special show from the
founding members of the Good ‘Ol
Persons, Laurie Lewis and Kathy Kallick.
Tickets for all both are on sale at The
Music Connection, 3086 Bechelli Lane,
Redding. Tickets are $20, or $10 for
students 18-years-old or younger with a
valid student ID. Call (530) 223-2040 for
information and tickets.
All shows begin at 8 p.m. The doors
open at 7:15 p.m.

Johnsmith
Born into
a rural eastern
Iowa, large
Irish Catholic
family of 10
kids, Johnsmith
pursued a life of
music that has
led him far from
his small town
roots.
In addition to being a Kerrville New
Folk winner, Johnsmith has released
seven solo CDs to postive reviews,
teaches songwriting - including at the
annual songwriter’s workshop at Esalen
Institute near Big Sur - and leads several
annual musical tours to Ireland.
Johnsmith’s most recent CD, “The
Longing Road,” has 14 original songs
ranging from folk, bluegrass and
Americana to blues.
Laurie Lewis and Kathy Kallick
Northern California bluegrass legends
Laurie Lewis and Kathy Kallick have each
played for the Oaksong Music Society on
several occasions. But on Friday, March
27, Redding area music lovers get the
opportunity to see these two founding
members of “The Good ‘Ol Persons”
together on the same stage.
Although Lewis remained in that group
for only a short while before moving on
to lead her own bands, she and Kallick
forged a lifelong personal and professional
friendship that endures to this day.
Lewis and Kallick recently reunited to
record a tribute CD to the music of Vern
Williams and Ray Park.
Vern and Ray and the Carroll County
Country Boys was one of the first
bluegrass bands in Northern California.
Their memorable live performances
and recordings in the 1960s and ‘70s
largely formed the basis for the bluegrass
repertoire in California, and they became
big influences on many aspiring bluegrass
musicians.
In 2014, Lewis and Kallick revisited
those beloved songs for their newlyreleased second collaboration, “Laurie
and Kathy Sing The Songs Of Vern & Ray.”
Much of their performance at the Pilgrim
Church will feature songs from this longawaited new album.

Symphony receives
$1 million bequest
The North State Symphony has received the largest
gift in its history – a $1 million bequest from Robert and
Anne Morgan of Redding.
The Morgans’ gift will establish the Robert and Anne
Morgan North State Symphony Endowment, which will
support the general operation of the symphony, the
Symphony’s office said in a news release.
The North State Symphony, created in 2001 from the
merger of the Chico and Redding symphonies, functions
as a program within the College of Humanities and Fine
Arts at California State University, Chico.
The Morgans moved to Redding in 1971 and were
owners of Crown Motors in Redding. Among their many
interests were music and the arts, which included the
North State Symphony. Robert Morgan passed away in
2009, followed by Anne in 2014.
“This extraordinary gift is going to enhance our
symphony in many, many ways,” North State Symphony
Executive Director Keith Herritt said. “Thanks to the
philanthropic vision of Robert and Anne Morgan, we
will continue to bring outstanding guest artists and fine
orchestral music to the north state.”
“At a time when many orchestras are struggling to
survive, our symphony continues to provide wonderful
classical music and terrific live performances to north
state residents,” said Robert Knight, dean of the College
of Humanities and Fine Arts. “Thanks to the Morgans and
many other generous, hardworking supporters, we have
this great symphony to enjoy year after year.”
The North State Symphony performs concerts in the
Cascade Theatre in Redding and Laxson Auditorium on
the CSU, Chico campus.
The University provides extensive administrative and
production support to the symphony, but financial support
also comes from the community, including those who
serve on the advisory board of directors or the board of
regents and other music lovers.

Historical society presents
architectural history lecture
on Maybeck, Morgan, Wright
Architectural historian Mark Wilson of Berkeley will
give a presentation on the work of three influential 20th
century architects: Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan and
Frank Lloyd Wright, all of whose work is represented in
the north state, at 2 p.m., March 21, at the Frank Lloyd
Wright designed Pilgrim Congregational Church, 2850
Foothill Blvd., Redding.
The lecture, put on by the Shasta Historical Society, is
free. No reservations are necessary.
Wilson first got interested in Maybeck’s architecture
while studying at UC Berkeley in the 1970s.
“I was a student, living across the street from the
Christian Science Church, one of his most famous
structures, and I was just struck by its beauty,” Wilson said.
After graduating with a B.A. in history from Berkeley,
Wilson went on to earn an M.A. in history and media
studies from California State University, East Bay, where
he wrote his thesis on Maybeck. He is also the author of
the books “Bernard Maybeck: Architect of Elegance”; “Julia
Morgan: Architect of Beauty”; and “Frank Lloyd Wright on
the West Coast.”
“The hallmark of Maybeck’s work is that it all manifests
the craftsmanship and environmental sensitivity that we
now refer to as ‘sustainable architecture,’” Wilson said.
“In fact, Morgan, Maybeck and Wright were all practicing
what we now call green design.”
In the 1890s, Maybeck and Wright had both begun
working in a nature-based tradition. By the turn of the
century, there was a full-fledged movement to integrate
buildings into their environment, to tie them to the
landscape, and to use natural materials such as wood
and stone.
One of Maybeck’s most iconic structures is the Palace
of Fine Arts in San Francisco. But there’s also a Maybeck
home in Redding, built in 1906 after he gave a Berkeley
newlywed couple house plans as a wedding gift.
Dudley Saeltzer, son of Rudolph Saeltzer, a founding
partner of the McCormick-Saeltzer Store, left Redding to
attend UC Berkeley and met Florence Senger there. When
they became engaged, Maybeck, a friend of her family,
offered to draw up plans for their future residence on West
Street, where they built the house on a plot of land gifted
to them by Dudley’s father.
The Saeltzer family owned the home until 1963, when
it was purchased by the Lord family, and it is still occupied
by John and Pam Lord. John Lord grew up there, one of
10 children.
“I have memories of sitting upstairs at night at bedtime
and I’d look out the window and watch the fog roll in from
south of town,” he recalled. “I got a kick out of watching it. It
was the house that everyone wanted to see the inside of.”
Julia Morgan was born in 1872 in San Francisco and
grew up in Oakland. While pursuing an engineering degree
at UC Berkeley, she showed an interest in architecture
and was encouraged by Maybeck, who was one of her
professors, to pursue her studies at the Ecole des BeauxArts in Paris, where he had earned his license.
Morgan was the first woman ever to be admitted to and
receive a certificate in architecture from the prestigious
school. She was also the first woman licensed as an
architect in the U.S.
Morgan may be best known for Hearst Castle in
San Simeon, but she carried out hundreds of other
commissions, from women’s clubs to homes, to the former
YWCA retreat center, Asilomar, near Monterey.
She was also the architect charged with rebuilding
the private and secluded Wyntoon estate on the McCloud
River, first designed as a retreat for Phoebe Hearst, then
after it burned, redesigned by Morgan for William Randolph
Hearst.
Wilson will also talk about Wright, whose work is
represented in Redding by the Pilgrim Congregational
Church, the subject of last spring’s Shasta Historical
Society documentary.
“Most people have no idea that he did 36 structures on
the West Coast,” Wilson said.

students to star in
annual Cascade concert
A former child prodigy from Uzbekistan
and an 8-year-old aspiring pianist from
Red Bluff are among the talents who
will join other performers at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 7, for the 36th annual
Piano Artists in Concert production at the
Cascade Theatre in Redding.
The concert is an annual production of
the Musical Arts League and features past
and present students of Duane Hampton,
a Redding-based pianist, composer and
teacher. The concert is a benefit for the
Cascade Theatre.
Highlights of this year ’s concert
include works by Bach, Chopin, Liszt
and Rachmaninoff, as well as selections
from some of Beethoven’s most famous
piano pieces, including the Waldstein and
Moonlight sonatas. Following the concert
is an opportunity to meet the performers
during an on-stage champagne reception
open to all patrons.
One of the featured performers will
be Regina Lott, a native of Uzbekistan
who was drawn to the piano at age 2 and
went on to study at the Conservatory of
Uzbekistan. In 2008, she won a piano
competition and received a $3,000
scholarship to study with Hampton at
Sacramento State University.
The mother of two is now a graduate
student and has performed with several
orchestras throughout the United States
and Russia.
Sophia Hackler, an 8-year-old thirdgrader at Sacred Heart Parish School
in Red Bluff, has been studying with
Hampton for the past year. She spends
her summer months in Shanghai, China,
where she continues her studies in music,
language and art.
Regina Lott
Sophia also plays violin, sings in a
choir and dances ballet. She said beautiful
melodies attracted her to classical piano
and she enjoys sharing her talents at
nursing and retirement homes.
Featured returning performers include
Samuel Knight, Nathaniel Bell, Jonathan
Adams and Kevin Woodruff. Woodruff,
a Shasta High School and Stanford
University graduate, began studying with
Hampton at the age of 5 and has been
featured in the annual concert since he
was 13.
Tickets for Piano Artists in Concert are
$24, adults; $10, students and children.
They are available at the Cascade
Theatre box office or by visiting www.
cascadetheatre.org or calling 243-8877.
Cross-Eyed: A collaborative exhibit
of art works and writings on display
The exhibit, Cross-Eyed, Two Siblings/
Distinct Memories by John and Leah
Harper, will be on display March 9 to April
17 at the Shasta College Art Gallery.
A free story telling event by the artists
is scheduled March 19 at 11 a.m. in room
400 at Shasta College with a reception for
the artists from 12 to 2 p.m. in the College
Art Gallery, building 300.
Through writings and artworks, brother
and sister, John and Leah Harper, have
created a magical, humorous exhibit
based on differing memories of their early
childhood experiences.
The exhibit originally opened at the
Redding Museum of Art and History in
1998. Since that time it has been received,
with great response, at such places as The
National John Steinbeck Center in Salinas
and The Hermitage Museum in Nashville,
Tenn. For its encore showing at Shasta
College, the Harpers have created some
brand new artworks.
Growing up in northern California, the
Harpers did not have much in material
terms. Active imaginations and childhood
creativity more than made up for the lack
Page 8 / March 2015 / After Five
of fancy toys, board games, or television.
“We were a very large and religious
family sharing an acre of land with our
chickens, pigs, turkeys, ducks and at least
one cow, not to mention the fruit trees, a
vegetable garden, and Mom’s strawberry
patch,” John Harper said. “It seemed to
me we had everything.”
The result is a multi-dimensional
exhibition with whimsical, childlike objects
which are likely to evoke childhood memories from the gallery visitors themselves.
There’s the family cow that John and
his brother Philip “watered” by putting a
large garden hose in her mouth; chickens
the brothers snuck into bed with them at
night; Grandma Harper’s novel poultryraising practices including putting crippled
turkeys in baby walkers; and the night
Philip almost flew out of the yard while
strapped into a real parachute with the
help of 80 mph gusting winds.
John Harper is an artist and Emeritus
Professor of Art at Shasta College. Leah
Harper is a teacher, artist, puppeteer and
musician. She is also a native healer for
the Nor-Rel-Muk Wintu trib.
Count Basie Orchestra in Red Bluff
William Count Basie started the Count Basie Orchestra in 1935,
in Kansas City, Missouri. Within a year, America was listening
in on popular radio shows throughout the country to hear what
would become “The Swingingest Band In All The Land!” and a
phenomena was born. Since Basie’s passing in 1984, Thad Jones,
Frank Foster, Grover Mitchell, Bill Hughes, Dennis Mackrel and,
now, Scott Barnhart have led the Count Basie Orchestra and
maintained it as one of the top performing organizations in jazz.
The Count Basie Orchestra, which has won 17 Grammy Awards
and 20 Downbeat and Jazz Times polls - more than any other big
band in jazz - is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. March 17 at
the State Theatre in Red Bluff. Tickets are priced from $30 to $40
and are available online at www.statetheatreredbluff.com or at the
Tehama County Visitor Center (cash or check only at this location).

Film explores the life-affirming
possibilities inherent in death
By Jon Lewis
Marilyn Schlitz, a cultural
anthropologist, researched, wrote
and served as executive producer
for “Death Makes Life Possible” and
hopes the film will remove much of
the fear and denial surrounding death
and free people to view death as an
inspiration for living.
Deepak Chopra, the esteemed
physician and author who also
produced the documentary, calls it “a
must-watch film for anybody who is
going to die.”
“Death Makes Life Possible” is
scheduled for 7 p.m. screenings on
Tuesday, March 3, at the Sisson
Museum in Mount Shasta; Saturday,
March 7, at the Center for Spiritual
Living in Redding; and Thursday,
March 12, at Havurah Shir Hadash in
Ashland, Ore.
Jennifer Mathews, a Mount
Shasta-based counselor, will lead
a discussion on the film and other
aspects of death and dying following
all three screenings.
Tickets for the Mount Shasta
screening are $10 in advance or $15
at the door; tickets are available at
Village Books or by visiting www.
deathmakeslifepossible.com. Tickets
for the Redding screening are $15 in
advance and $20 at the door; tickets
are available at the Center for Spiritual
Living, 1905 Hartnell Ave. or online.
Tickets for the Ashland screening also
are $15 in advance or $20 at the door.
In an interview with After Five,
Schlitz said she is using the film,
and a book with the same title to be
published this spring, to initiate “a
campaign to redefine death and turn
fear into an inspiration for living.”
Death is “one of those big things
that represent a taboo topic in our
culture,” Schlitz said. Through the film
and the resulting conversations it will
prompt, Schlitz hopes people will have
less fear and denial about the natural
cycle of life.
“Having people come to terms with
their views on their own mortality and
what will happen next will help them to
live better,” Schlitz said.
In the film, Schlitz explores the
mysteries of life and death from a
variety of perspectives and world
traditions and how popular culture
deals with the ever-present fear
many have about our own mortality.
Interviews with mental health experts,
cultural leaders, and scientists explore
the meaning of death and how we can
learn to live without fear. Mixed in with
the interviews and evidence presented
are personal stories of people facing

their own death as well as those who
report encounters beyond death.
Schlitz contends that a greater
understanding and acceptance of
death and an appreciation of how
different cultures deal with death—
regardless of one’s personal beliefs—
will reduce anxiety and aggression in
society. Numerous studies indicate
that a fear of mortality can serve as
a trigger for violence when people
encounter opposing belief systems.
“People who don’t deal with
their own mortality end up having
a lot of anxiety, and when that fear
gets triggered, they end up being
aggressive and less happy,” Schlitz
said. “If they come to terms with
(mortality), they become healthier,
happier and better citizens.”
“There is too much fear, too much
anxiety and too much suffering around
death,” Chopra says in a foreword to
the film.
On an individual level, open
discussions about death can lead to a
better understanding of one’s wishes
and beliefs. Would they prefer to die
at home? Do they want heroic lifeextending measures taken?
“Even with advance directives,
doctors don’t know,” Schlitz said. “If
people gain greater comfort about
their mortality, they are able to make
choices and have those choices
accepted later in life. Those desires
and requests will be honored if we can
talk about it.”
The act of dying itself can be
therapeutic for loved ones, Schlitz
said.
“Grief can be a catalyst for
personal growth and transformation,”
she said. “A gift we are given is to be
with someone at end of life. Instead
of frightening, it can be liberating. It’s
an opportunity to touch something
that is so pure and so authentic—we
don’t get the opportunity to do that in a
lifetime very often.”
Schlitz teaches a course on the
subjects that are raised in the film
and has presented it to retirement
communities.
“I find that people are less fearful
and feel more positive about the
opportunity that lies ahead,” she said.
“We collect data and monitor word
use before and after the course and
find that people express less fear and
anxiety.
“People were so deeply
appreciative at the opportunity to have
this conversation. They never had the
opportunity before.”

Chico State students
plan human trafficking
awareness conference
Students at California State University,
Chico are planning a number of activities
and events for Human Trafficking
Awareness Week March 2-6, including
a training led by trafficking survivor and
author Carissa Phelps on March 4.
The fourth annual Stop Trafficking of
Persons (STOP!) Conference, organized
by the student club of the same name,
features daily film screenings, discussions
and presentations around the subject of
human trafficking, including activity in the
Chico community. Students have been
working for months to bring awareness
to this important issue, club president
Courtney Hudson said.
“We are lucky enough to have
connections with local law enforcement,
survivors, authors and specialists who
are willing to speak at our conference,”
Hudson said. “Last year we had a little
over 1,000 attendees, which we are
hoping to surpass this year.”
The March 4 training by trafficking
survivor Phelps is aimed at supporting
local efforts to protect and care for at-risk
youth. Trafficked as an adolescent in
Fresno, Calif., Phelps is now a human
rights activist and author of “Runaway
Girl: Escaping Life on the Streets” and
will share her experiences and insights
with attendees.
According to the Polaris Project, an
organization working to end trafficking,
in 2010 an estimated 27 million people
were enslaved across the world, and
the trafficking industry profited nearly
$32 billion annually. Eighty percent of
transnational victims were women and
girls; 2 million children each year were
exploited by the global commercial sex
trade.
All events take place in the Bell
Memorial Union Auditorium and are free
to attend. Events include:
Monday, March 2, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The film “Call-Response,” a 2008 antislavery documentary featuring numerous
musician-activists, including Ashley Judd,
Cornel West, Nicholas Kristof and others.
Tuesday, March 3, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Roundtable discussion with law
enforcement officials, including FBI
special agents and Sacramento Assistant
Chief District Attorney Paul Durenberger,
who will discuss labor and sex trafficking
issues in Northern California.
Wednesday, March 4, 6 to 9:30 p.m.
H u m a n t r a ff i c k i n g t r a i n i n g f o r
communities and schools.
Thursday, March 5, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Survivors Speak! Trafficking survivors
Shamere McKenzie and Kiesha Head
will share their experiences of being
trafficked while attending college in the
United States. Shamere is now CEO of
the nonprofit Sun Gate Foundation, which
provides services for trafficking victims.
Friday, March 6, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Author and Activist Kelsey Timmerman
will speak. Timmerman is the author of
“Where Am I Eating? A Journey Through
the Global Food Economy” and “Where
Am I Wearing? A Global Tour to the
Countries, Factories, and People That
Make Our Clothes.”

Tim Flannery (center) and his band, The Lunatic Fringe
Former Giant coach Tim Flannery to bring
his Lunatic Fringe band to Redding Civic
Tim Flannery, the former third-base
coach who helped lead the San Francisco Giants to three world championships, is bringing his guitar and his band,
The Lunatic Fringe, to the Redding Civic
Auditorium at 7 p.m. Saturday, March
21, for a concert to benefit his Love
Harder Project.
Flannery, a former infielder with the
San Diego Padres, has continued to
nurture his passion for music throughout
a 30-year career in baseball. Now that
he has hung up his cleats for good, he
has even more time for music.
A product of Irish ancestors and
strongly influenced by the Appalachian
Mountains where he spent his youth,
Flannery, 57, has matured into a fine
singer and songwriter who deftly blends
bluegrass, folk, country, Celtic and
Americana styles of music.
A new dimension was added to
Flannery’s music on the opening day
of the 2011 baseball season (Flannery’s
fifth season with San Francisco), when
the Giants were playing their rivals,
the Dodgers, in Los Angeles. After the
game, Bryan Stow, a 42-year-old Giants
fan and father of two who had traveled
south from Santa Cruz to take in the
game, was assaulted in the parking lot.
The beating left Stow with a debilitating brain injury and Flannery with an
opportunity to help. A fan asked if he’d
be willing to perform at a San Francisco
club to benefit Stow and his family.
“Flan” readily agreed and the show was
booked shortly after the 2011 season
ended. “I felt it was a great opportunity
to raise awareness and some desperately needed money for the Stow family,”
Flannery said.
That sold-out show was followed
by another in Napa and Bob Weir, the
longtime Grateful Dead guitarist and an
ardent Giants fan, got wind of the show
and joined in. After the last note rang
out, Flannery was able to give Bonnie
Stow, Bryan’s sister, an envelope stuffed
with more than $70,000.
From those early benefit shows,
Flannery’s Love Harder Project took
shape. The nonprofit organization continues to support the Stow family while
expanding into anti-bullying awareness
efforts.
A portion of the proceeds from the
Redding show also will be donated
to the Alyssa Araiza Wings of Angels
Organization in support of its efforts
to aid sick children in the north state,
according to Angie and Rick Gurrolla,
whose Mesa Productions is presenting
the Flannery concert.
Tickets are priced from $20 to $60
and are available at the Civic Auditorium box office or by visiting www.reddingcivic.com. Call 229-0022 for more
information.

The production takes a look at America’s Swing Era, recreating defining
moments from the 1930s and 1940s. Creator and producer Bud Forrest
is a Juilliard trained pianist and conductor who served as accompanist
for the official U.S. Air Force chorus The Singing Sergeants. He compiled
the greatest music from the swing era into a revue about the big band era
and the influence of this music before, during and after the WWII years.
The second act is experienced as a moving tribute to those who fought
in the war and to all veterans, even today’s, he said.
In The Mood captures the feel of the big band era in part because of
the involvement of the late Vic Schoen as the show’s primary arranger.
Schoen created the musical arrangements for the entire career of the
legendary Andrews Sisters and was music director for both Universal and
Paramount Pictures.
