Here's the whole real deal about Gary Ewing's Benefit...
PRESS RELEASE
SPONSORED BY MUSIC MILLENNIUM & OREGON MUSIC HALL OF FAME
BENEFIT BALL FOR GARY EWING
MAY 21st 2006 at the CRYSTAL BALLROOM
Gary Ewing is the legendary light show artist whose magic brought form and color to the music of so many Portland bands in the early sixties. From Beaver Hall to the Crystal Ballroom, Gary was there. He lit the Mayor's Balls and sat on the board of the Portland Music Association. He is a big man with a big heart. He has helped make the Portland music scene what it is today but that big heart has some big problems lately.~ Gary had
several heart attacks and Quadra by-pass surgery recently and like most musicians and artists, doesn't have health insurance. He and his family need the help of the music community and the community at large. You can help and say thank you to one of the people that got us to where we are today by sending a donation to:
U.S. BANK C/O [GARY EWING RECOVERY] ACCOUNT
Set up by Music Millennium & Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Do it, even if you can't remember the sixties.
Thanks. Billy Hults

So far, here are the results of the "reading list lust" e-mail I sent out last week, I'm sure there will be more. If you didn't get the e-mail, but would like to let us know about a good read, please do so, by all means. Thanks to those of you who contributed.

I was reading "Shopgirl" by Steve Martin...comments: wow, I loved this
book. Short, easy read, great entertainment, lighthearted way to approach an
important life topic. Five stars.
Now I am reading "Running with Scissors."

Just finished reading "Pontius Pilate" a historic novel.
Made you feel sorry for the poor roman governor.

Am reading currently "East of the Mountains" by David Guterson. Recently read "Sailor Song" by Ken Kesey and "The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kidd. all fiction, all good, so was "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazer. I also enjoyed a biography of Quanah Parker recently, "The Last Comanche Chief" by Bill Neeley... am hoping to make it to the Ewing benefit, see you then if not before.
Love and Peace

"Al Capone does my shirts" a newberry honor book is good. About a boy with an autistic sister....
for adults "Cold Mountain" by Charles frezier was great! "The Reader", by Bernhard Schlink was also real good...

Subject: ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!!!!
Wandering God by Morris Berman
350 pages of the most amazing anthropological study of our theological
development I could have searched for and found, if I imagined it
existed, but alas! It was handed to me.
Mr. Berman (whom you may want to Google up and read the reviews of his
latest release), in Wandering God, follows our development from Hunter
Gather periods, when we were of Immediate Response thinking, through
our earliest agricultural transitions of saving seeds, then planting,
when we became of Delayed Response thinking. It was during this (DR) era
we began to develop what he refers to as Sacred Authority Complex
(SAC), i.e., religous belief systems, guilt, superstitions, future concepts,
etc.
Does that seem like something you might be interested in? He even
refers to the current US governmental administration occasionally.
It's a text book. It can be slow reading. I've been at it for 4+
months, but I love it. I don't care if it takes a year and I read it over
and over again.

I'm currently reading "Divine Encounters" by Zacharia Sitchen and "One Woman's Army" by Janis Karpinsky . They're great books , different by all standards , which is how I read.

(Barbara's note:
..good books must be shared.
If you don't mind, you could also remind everyone that libraries get most of their funding from the number of books/music/movies that get checked out. The more you use your local library, the more funding they get to buy new material! Thanks. ~~B~~)

In other kin and kithe type news, this in from mis padre excellente:
"I will be a delegate to the Dems [ Washington ] State Convention in Yakima the first of June.
The party liberals will try to put forward a resolution to impeach or at least censure the president and vice-president."
Si Se Puede!!!! Go Doug!!!!
( special thanks go to my dear miss t, who'd rather be napping, but is helping me with spanish words anyway. )

Barbara was right! It was PIL who wrote and sang "Rise" in the 80's. Thanks Barbara, you win a prize ( which is yet to be determined, but I know you'll like it! )
