COVER STORY
SWEET SUCCESS
Cake Wars participant returns home to open patisserie and caf

WRITTEN BY RACHEL ZIRIN | PHOTOS BY BILL SULLIVAN
ocal pastry chef Julian Perrigo-Jimenez opened his

patisserie and caf, and you must try it.
Perrigo-Jimenez recently participated in Food Networks Cake Wars as a sugar artist on a team of three
that aired for six weeks.
Perrigo-Jimenez was born in Sacramento and raised in Folsom
until going to the California Culinary Academy in San
Francisco right after graduating from Folsom High
School, he said.
He has worked for the Norwegian Cruise
Lines America in Hawaii, where he met
his wife, Ashley, as well as Bidwell Street
Bistro.
After Perrigo-Jimenez got married,
he and Ashley moved to Las Vegas and
built quite an impressive resume.
Perrigo-Jimenez started as a sous chef
at the Paris Hotel, and then helped
open the Cosmopolitan as the number two pastry chef. He also worked
for the Bellagio, Green Valley
Ranch, was the executive pastry chef
at Caesars Palace and the Red Rock
Casino.
Perrigo-Jimenez decided it was time
to open his own patisserie and caf, so he
moved back home to Folsom.
Since opening, Perrigo-Jimenez has showcased European-style pastries all made from
scratch, he said.
We have breakfast pastries such as croissants, danishes, crepes, desserts, cakes and
quiches, Perrigo-Jimenez said. It is very
different from anything that is here right now.
Everyone does a different style, so I think we
are very unique in that aspect.

The pastry chef is looking forward to

showing the people he grew up with what
he has been doing since he graduated high
school. He also wants everyone to experience something new to the area.
I am so proud of him, Ashley said. Since
the moment I met him, he has been such a
go-getter and eager to do what he loves. To
see how far he has come in the 10 years we
have known each other, I am just so proud
of him.
The patisserie and caf will be open from 7
a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Customers can look forward to everything
baked fresh daily and everything made by
hand, Perrigo-Jimenez said.
Nothing is from a box, no mixes, everything is made from scratch, he said. I really
like being able to have room for creativity
and being able to make anything I want. I
talk to customers and get feedback and it is
much different than being a part of a very
large organization.

TIPS ON GETTING
THE BEST PRICE AND KEEP
BOUQUETS LONG LASTING
WRITTEN BY RACHEL ZIRIN | PHOTOS BY BILL SULLIVAN

Kathy Bare opened Crystal Rose Florist in 2001 and
since has done exactly what she loves.
Bare has been around flowers her whole life. She said
her father had a garden full of flowers when she was
young and it piqued her interest.
I have always loved working with flowers, Bare said.
When I was in college, I took some flower designing
classes and worked with a couple of florists. After helping
one of them open up their store, I decided I wanted to do
it on my own.
That is exactly what she did.
Bares business has been thriving for the last 16 years,
especially during the month of February because of Valentines Day, her busiest holiday of the year.
Bare encourages customers to order early and dont wait
until the last minute. Because of supply and demand,
prices during the romantic holiday also go up, depending
on how much the grower charges Bares vendor.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

OR TO ORDER FLOWERS,
call916-294-0500or go
tocrystalroseflorist.com.
There are dozens of other pretty flowers out

there besides red roses that are a little less expensive, she said. Some other options can be doing
a mixed arrangement with one or two roses in it,
that way it is less expensive.
After years of work and practice, Bare said she
can make just about any type of flower arrangement. From roses to sympathy, weddings to
everyday flowers, she can do it all, depending on
what the customer wants.
You should find out what the person youre
getting the arrangement for likes, color and
flower wise, she said. If you know their favorite
flower, it can make it more personal. If not, leave
it up to the florist to do a nice mix of things, that
way you get a variety of colors and fragrances.
As far as decorations, there are many options
such as greenery, ribbons and cards.
Greenery is really important because it gives
the arrangement a base to put your flowers into
and it makes it a lot easier, Bare said. If you
dont use the greenery, the flowers have a tendency to flop over and then you get frustrated.
While there are dozens of different flowers
out there, Bare said her favorite is the tuberose,
which is a white flower that has multiple white
flowers on the stem.
It smells just heavenly, she said. It has such
great fragrances. I also love orchids and hydrangeas.
Some tips to make you flowers last as long as
possible is to not place them in direct sunlight, or
near a vent. Remember to change the water and
keep it full daily, and cut the stems, that way, they
will last between a week and a half to two weeks,
Bare said.
Other than flowers and arrangements, Crystal
Rose Florist also sells flower-related gifts and
some plants.
A little advice from Bare: When deciding to
order flowers, be sure to call the florist directly
and not use a wire service. She said going to the
florist directly will get you more for your money.
Valentines Day is nearing, and you dont want
to miss out on giving your special someone a
beautiful arrangement of flowers.

HECKLE
ALEHOUSE
& EATERY
A HIT IN FOLSOM
BY RACHEL ZIRIN | PHOTOS BY BILL SULLIVAN
A new restaurant in the Historic Folsom has brought special craft

brews and food everyone will enjoy.
Heckle Alehouse and Eatery opened back in December and since
has been a hit with Folsoms residents.
Owner and Chef Matt Garrido decided to pull the trigger on a
dream and open his own restaurant only one year ago.
Garrido went to UCLA for civil engineering, but when he graduated the economy crashed and he was laid off. In the meantime, he
found him self bartending and enjoyed it.
In 2014, I quit the restaurant industry to get back into a real job of
computer drafting, but after a year I realized I didnt like, he said. I
didnt like sitting at a desk every day and I wanted to do something
different.
It seems to have been smooth sailing and perfect timing for him
when it came to finding a location and signing the lease.
It has been a bit of an adventure because it is completely different
opening a restaurant than working at one anywhere, Garrido said.
Opening a restaurant has nothing to do with cooking.
Garrido may live 40 minutes up the road, but he said he wanted to
open a restaurant in a city that would really support and appreciate
what he was trying to do.

I think Folsom is the right town, he said. I think it is due for a big economic burst over the next
few years. We have been seeing countless restaurants opening up in the last few months. I think people
around here appreciate good food and I think they will like our different take on things.
Heckle Alehouse and Eatery was originally going to be called Melt, but Garrido learned there are
more than 30 restaurants in the country with the same name.
The term heckle came from bike racing and when the crowd cheers at the racers, he said. It is all
done in good sport. You also see heckling in sports and we thought that kind of fits with what we are
going to do here. We want to have fun with it. We dont want to be like every other restaurant.
Garrido said the restaurant is a little off kilter and a little irreverent at times, and everyone can see
that with their menu.
The menu features items such as in-house barbecue, in-house smoked meats, loaded specialty burgers, salads and more.
While they have a lot of barbecue and smoked items, Garrido said he doesnt want his restaurant to
be a barbecue house.
Not the whole family wants to eat barbecue, so we want to give a variety while still having the barbecue for those people who really love and have a hard time find it in California, he said.
Heckle has 10 seasonal and special edition craft brews and one cider on draft as well as a good bottle
list, he said. In the future, Garrido said they will be moving up to 14
taps and their goal is to have 18. In addition, the wines are only
from El Dorado County and some from Fair Play.
We want to feature wineries that are within driving distance so
HOURS: 11 A.M. - 10 P.M.
you can go check out the wineries if you like it, Garrido said.
WEEKDAYS, 11 A.M. - 11 P.M.
The atmosphere Garrido wants guests to experience is casual, he

Its hard to go to dinner and find good beer and wine where
people can also bring their kids too, he said.
Garrido said he loves bringing new types of food to people who
dont normally get to try it and especially pairing them with beers, they dont normally get to try.
Were going to try really hard to connect the non-craft beer drinkers with craft beers they might
like, he said. Were going to try to always offer comparisons to things that are more traditional. Well
let people know that if they like Blue Moon or Shock Top, we have something similar in style they
might enjoy.
The restaurant is modified fast causal service, Garrido said.
Were going to be counter-ordering, but also check in with table as theyre eating to get refills, he
said. It will make things a little easier for our customers. But there is also the option to go back up to
the bar if you need anything extra.
Garrido plans to bridge the gap of giving people their food and leaving them alone, and full table
service. Uniquely, the restaurant is going to print everyone tabs, so no one has to pay up front.
Customers can still add additional beers and food items, he said. It is hard to pay up front when
you want to get another beer or two. We want to make it easier for them.
Heckle Alehouse and Eatery is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on
weekends.
We dont plan to be open until 2 a.m. like bars, Garrido said. Were planning on being the place
you come to start your night before heading out.
Garrido said it has been fun to see that people like what they have.
People seem to actually want the product we are putting out, he said. They want a place to come,
but not necessarily hang out in a bar. They want a place where they can meet friends, have some food,
have some drinks and not feel rushed, but also not feel like they are sitting at a bar with a bunch of
drunk people.

WHEN ONE
DOOR CLOSES,
ANOTHER OPENS
GASLIGHT NOW OPEN
ON SUTTER STREET
BY RACHEL ZIRIN | PHOTOS BY BILL SULLIVAN

aslight Company opened in
place of Lockdown Brewing
and it is worth a visit.
Mark Dascallos, owner, chose
to close the Sutter Street location after
the brewery located in Rancho Cordova
decided to go a different path. The pub had
four to five Lockdown beers on tap, but
now under a different name, Dascallos has
new plans.
Gaslight Company celebrated its grand
opening Dec. 3 with the tap houses
regulars, friends and live music from The
Golden Cadillacs.
Dascallos and his two operating partners, Jason Savelli and Mark Achbach,
got the idea to name the new business
Gaslight Company when they were having
lunch one day on the patio and saw that
the building was originally the Gaslight
building.
It has a historical meaning and we love
the name, Dascallos said. Were excited
about it.
Gaslight will continue to have live music
four days a week with open-mic nights on
Wednesdays, which was popular with the
Lockdown crowd, Dascallos said.
We are increasing the number of beers
on tap and the wine list significantly, he
said. And, of course, the back room is a
huge change too.
FEBRUARY 2017 | 19
FLE Feb USE.indd 19
1/27/17 4:50 PM
Beach Hut Deli was occupying the back

room, but closed Sept. 30. That room has been
transformed into a banquet room for private
celebrations, meeting and catered dinners for 35
to 40 guests.
For years, it was a very popular spot for the
Rotary and local clubs to meet, Dascallos said.
We have done a lot of work to improve the
room and bring that back to life. Were looking forward to bringing those groups back for
day-time meetings, having rehearsal dinners and
birthday parties back there. Its private, and a
beautiful room. I think its one of the best spots
on Sutter Street.
As far as remodeling, there is still plenty to be
done. The first phase was fixing up the banquet
room and the kitchen, new wood flooring, lighting and paint. The second phase of the remodel
is scheduled to be finished in February and will
include a hood in the kitchen and a little further
expansion.
Well be adding to our menu significantly,
Dascallos said. We will have a great burger
and a lot of excellent pub-style food. We will
also cater to our banquet room and do specialty
items as well.
Gaslight will not be a sit down, server-style
restaurant, he said. They plan to keep the vibe
casual. Food and drinks will be ordered at the
bar and guests will receive a number for their
food to be brought to them, Dascallos said.
We want people to be able to come in, move
around and not feel like they have to eat if their
friends are, he said.
The beers will rotate as the tap house wants to
always have the best beer list they can.
We want to have the right beers our guests
are requesting and we research and find popular
beers, Dascallos said. We will also always have
local breweries on tap and a few surprises that
we may pull in from out of state.
Customers will enjoy a new feel when they
come in. It is more relaxed, he said.
Gaslight is working to make sure their live
music is second to none, Dascallos said.
We want to have a great line up all the time
where people can plan to come to shows, he
said. We have Jason, who will be booking all
the music, and we have some exciting bands
coming through. I think the crowd who comes
here for live music will continue to enjoy it and
will see the improvements are even better.
Savelli said the bands he books are

some of the best in Sacramento that
have become popular in the area.
Achbach said he is looking forward
to providing a place where people can
come and relax.
We want to make it an experience for
them and make it fun, Achbach said.
We want to focus on great customer
service and interactions with our customers. We treat them like family and
we have always been a community here.
We all started coming here because we
felt like a family and we want to continue that on. That is what my passion
is to make people feel comfortable and
welcome.

Dascallos said his favorite part about his

business is the people.
The customers are the ones who bring in
the magic, he said. The bands come in here
and tell us they love playing here and I love
that. Our guests have enjoyed the vibe we
created in the short time we have been open
and its great spot on Sutter Street.
Lead Bartender Lindsay Chackel said she is
excited about the changes that are happening.
Like Mark said, we are excited for people
to come in and experience a new place, but
not too different from how it was, just kind of
enhanced, she said. I am also excited for the
kitchen, having our own food. It is going to
be an exciting experience for everyone and its
going to be great. Im also excited about the
new ownership. It is a great change.
Gaslight plans to have a happy hour from
3 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but no
specifics have been made yet.
On Sunday afternoons on Sutter Street
there had been a theme of live music and
Gaslight plans to be a part of it. Between 2
and 4 p.m. on Sundays, guests can come in for
a beer or glass of wine and listen to some live
acoustic music.

ing to relaxed restrictions on Soviet artists, and this short piece is noted for
its exultant mood and recurring high spirits. The work has become standard
in international repertoire and was featured in the 1980 Summer Olympics
in Moscow and the 2009 Nobel Prize concert.
Violinist Linnebach joins the orchestra for the second number, Peter Tchaikovskys Violin Concerto in D major, composed
in Switzerland in 1878 where the composer had traveled to combat depression after a failed marriage. The piece is one of
the most technically exacting violin concertos and Tchaikovsky had difficulty finding a musician to perform it. The work was
finally premiered in Vienna in 1881. Since then it has become a staple of concert repertoire and has been featured in several
soundtracks, including the 2009 French comedy film Le Concert, the 2014 film The Equalizer and the 1874 version of
Unfaithfully Yours.
Linnebach is a master at performing this difficult composition. Since making her violin solo debut at age 7, she has toured
extensively to international acclaim and twice won the Canadian Music Competition Grand Prize. In 2000 she was named
Canadas most gifted musician under 30. She is now associate concertmaster for Ottawas National Arts Centre Orchestra
and a founding member of the Zukerman Chamber Players
Following the intermission, the orchestra will play portions of Sergei Prokofievs Romeo and Juliet ballet, written in 1935.
In composing this piece, Prokofiev broke from Shakespeare by giving the title characters a happy denouement. However,
Stalin ordered that the story be reverted to the tragedy the author intended. The significantly revised version Stalin-approved premiered in then-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and played in Leningrad in January 1940, but it was not performed in
Moscow until 1946. A tenor saxophone gives the music a unique sound.

Drop pounds in days?
SHAPEMASTERS CLAIMS FIRST PERMANENT FAT LOSS SYSTEM
BY RACHEL ZIRIN | PHOTOS BY BILL SULLIVAN | SPONSORED BY SHAPEMASTERS
fter many years of physics and developing technology, Vince Rose has
created something many can agree is game-changer for the fat-loss
and health-conscious community.
As the inventor of the first permanent fat loss system, ShapeMasters,
Rose not only uses his friends and family as successful clients, but himself as well.
Rose used to work out with a trainer three to five days a week for three years. He
weighed 285 pounds and after the three years, he weighed in at 240 pounds.
I followed precisely what they told me to do, he said. That was frustrating
because I worked out for three years and I wasnt getting the results I wanted. I put
myself on this program and within five weeks, without even exercising, I went from
240 pounds to 210. My body fat went from 28 percent to nine percent. I have the
metabolism of a 12-year-old.
Years ago, Rose developed a technology that successfully eliminated the communication between cells or organisms on the cellular level.

I was able to deactivate deadly pathogenic microorganisms, he said.

It uses light and sounds to disrupt cellular communication between living organisms. When organisms cant talk, they die because they cannot
multiply or replicate.
This technology has been used in military applications by the U.S.
government in germ warfare control wherever they manufacture
store-produced biological weapons, Rose said. In case of an accidental
release, this technology is available to them to prevent anyone from
getting sick or dying.
Additionally, the technology is used in the healthcare field, specifically
to sterilize sensitive and expensive medical devices that cannot be sterilized using the traditional methods of heat, steam, chemicals or pressure,
he said.
Everything in an operating room has to be sterilized before the next
patient. If you have an expensive piece of electronic equipment that
needs to be cleaned, how do you do so without destroying it? Rose said.
They use my patented technology, the Micro-Clean technology. It uses
very specific wave lengths and very specific frequencies to disrupt cellular communication between organisms, so they die.
After his success with the Micro-Clean technology, Rose started looking for corrective frequencies that could assist his wife with the arthritis
in her knees.
I havent been able to find the frequencies to alleviate her problem
and relieve her pain, but I have been successful in finding the frequency
combinations that allow cellular restoration within the body for unwanted fat cells, he said.

What Rose does is flood the body with

corrective frequencies for 10 minutes. These
frequencies are vibrational sound patterns,
which restores the body to its optimum
condition. This allows unwanted fat cells to,
in essence, be eaten up by the body.
Over time, we get older, and based on
the things we eat, environmental conditions,
toxins build up in our body and they tend
to reside in our fat cells. As they accumulate
over time, the communication between the
cells gets diminished. Because the communication starts to break down, they cannot
produce the hormone transmitters that they
would normally produce that allows the
body to perform all of its functions in an
efficient manner, Rose said.
Since the start of time, humans have been
led to believe that more exercise and more
diet is going to correct the metabolic imbalance, but scientifically, it does not, he said.
We have to correct the communications
between the cells and that is what we do. We
flood the body with corrective frequencies
and the body picks up only the frequencies
that it needs, and discards the ones it doesnt.
It allows your body to be restored to function at an optimum condition so that your
body can shed the unwanted weight on its
own, Rose said. It is really that simple. We
want to take the mystery out of weight loss.
What makes this weight loss program
different from all the others are as follows:
No pills, no injections, no strict diet plan, no
strict exercise plan and no saggy skin. Nothing foreign is introduced to the body, just
natural, corrective frequencies, Rose said.
Rose said men typically will experience
one to two pounds per day of fat loss and
women experience half a pound to one
pound of fat loss per day.
The results are pretty stunning when you
see someone who goes on our program and
then you look at them two to five weeks later, he said. They are a completely different
person.
How it works: Clients come to one of the
various office locations and consult with one
of the ShapeMasters consultants. At this
consultation, clients will be asked to step
on a scale-like board that reads everything
from their weight to the number of pounds
of fat, to body mass index and more. After determining how much fat
the person wants to lose to remain at a healthy state, for once a week for
10 minutes, they will go to one of the offices and relax with two palm
patches on. Throughout the stimulation process, clients will also receive
a patch to wear that is imprinted with the same frequencies as the ones
during the 10-minute sessions. This allows the body to continuously
capture the frequencies while it is losing the unwanted weight.
Once the person has reached their target weight objective, or their
healthy range, they stop wearing the patches and we no longer give
them the corrective frequencies via the stimulus we artificially introduce
to the body, Rose said. Now the training wheels have been removed
and the body is going to do its part.
Over the course of the next 72 hours, the body will adjust and reset
to its hypothalamic set point. This is when the brain tells the body to
accept the new weight.
Since starting the ShapeMasters business on Jan. 1 this year, Rose has
been overwhelmed with requests to sign up.
Katie Tenge, one of Roses clients, has been on the program for a little
over a week and she said she has already lost 11 pounds.
The idea permanent weight loss is fantastic, she said. You hear it
and think, I want to do that! and here I am. At first I was skeptical, but
after hearing his background and doing some research, I was sold.
Tenge said she not only feels great, but she has more energy.
I would like to lose 20 pounds. I have done so many diets and it does
great while Im on them, but it never lasted forever, she said. Vince has
people in here every day signing up. I think this could be a billion-dollar
business. There are people all over wanting to do this.
Rose is in the process of opening up locations all over California and
soon, there will be offices in every state.
If you think this is too good to be true, give Rose a call. He said he
will be happy to answer anyones questions or concerns.

into the Japanese way of life.
Focusing on Japans place in major exhibitions held on the American
continent from 1876 onward, and finishing with a look at the first Japanese
Worlds Fair in Osaka in 1970, JapanAmerica examines the influence of
Japanese aesthetics on painting and printmaking, ceramics and metalwork,
graphic design, advertising, bookbinding and illustration.
The show also features Japanese objects of industry that were influenced

Western forms and manufacturing techniques while retaining the high

level of craftsmanship and detail for which they were famous.
For many Americans, the objects served as an introduction to Japanese culture, shaping their perceptions of the land and its people. At the
international fairs, a culture of exchange was born. Japanese objects became
the focus of admiration by Europeans and Americans alike, provoking a
cult of emulation in the West and, in Japan, an important industry creating
objects to appeal to Western tastes. Per the Crocker Art Museums chief
curator, Scott A. Shields, Ph.D., the influence of Japanese art on American
Artists cannot be overstated.
This source of inspiration resulted in some of the most beautiful
creations of all of American art history, Shields said. This exhibition is
really the first of its kind, in that it showcases not only the influence that
Japanese artists had on Western artists, but also the cross-pollination that
occurred as American aesthetics changed Japanese production.
In addition to art and beautiful craftwork, the works on view in JapanAmerica highlight objects of innovative industrial design, fashion and
tourism promotion, reflecting Japans evolving priorities relating to cultural
exchange and diplomacy through the decades.
We are fortunate to have so many of these pieces on view in this exhibition, which is only being shown at Cornell University and at the Crocker,
Shields said.

February is all about decadence and floating on cloud

nine. Dessert is an excellent way to enjoy this month of
mushy feelings and twitterpated hearts. This dish even
looks like a fluffy pink cloud. I know it may sound sappy,
but sometimes that is all right. Whether you have a
romantic dinner for two planned, a night out with loved
ones, or a night in at home, everyone can use a delicious
dessert this Valentines Day.
1 tablespoon salted butter

2 tablespoon sugar for dusting ramekins
1 cup frozen raspberries
4 tablespoon honey, divided
2 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
2 teaspoon arrowroot starch
3 teaspoons water
4 egg whites
Fresh raspberries and dark chocolate for toppings
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter the inside of each ramekin and dust with sugar. Place on
baking sheet and set aside.
Place the frozen raspberries, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoon of the
honey in a sauce pan on medium heat. Stir until a jam-like consistency
is formed, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the arrowroot starch and water. Add
arrowroot paste to the raspberry mixture. Once it is slightly thickened,
transfer the mixture to a blender and puree for 1 minute.
Press the mixture through a fine sieve, removing any seeds. Place in
the fridge to cool.
While the puree is cooling, separate egg white into a mixer and beat
until soft peaks form. Add the last 2 remaining tablespoons of honey to
the beaten egg whites.
Set aside of the raspberry puree for garnish.
Add half of the egg whites to a large mixing bowl and stir in the
remaining raspberry puree. it is oK if the mixture is deflated. gently
fold in the remaining egg whites and be careful not to over-mix.
Spoon mixture into the ramekins and bake for 10-12 minutes until
the top is golden and raised.
Top with leftover raspberry puree, dark chocolate, and fresh raspberries and serve immediately before it falls.
ALMOND MELTAWAYS
Not to brag, but I think these are the absolute best and easiest to make healthy
cookies ever especially if you like almond and chocolate! Each bite was mouthwatering and satisfying without any refined sugar or grains. These moist treats can be
easily made vegan as well. I chose to use butter and honey in the cookies, but they can
be substituted for vegan butter and coconut sugar and be just as good. These are my little Almond Meltaways because they literally melt in your mouth with a buttery almond
flavor. Dip in dark chocolate and you have a teacake that will impress any loved one this
Valentines Day. (Or simply make a batch just for yourself. I know I will.)
For the cookies:

1 cups fine almond flour
cup soft butter
3 tablespoon raw honey
Pinch of salt
teaspoon almond extract
teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Dipping:
cup dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons almond milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

add almond flour, butter, honey, salt, and both extracts into a
mixer and mix until well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place tablespoon-sized balls of the dough on the sheet.
Bake for 1012 minutes or until lightly browned.
Allow the cookies to cool on a rack.
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler and add the
almond milk until smooth.
Dip half of the cookie in the melted chocolate and allow to
cool. Enjoy!

THE YOSEMITE GOLDEN

WATER FALL
STORY AND PHOTOS BY BILL ZACHRY
How lucky we are to be so close to one of the most beautiful oasis of nature in the
world, Yosemite Valley. Annually, about 4 million visitors from around the world,
go to Yosemite National Park to gaze at the spectacular vista from tunnel view, to
see Half Dome, the sheer granite cliff of El Captain and the many world-class water
falls such as Yosemite, Vernal, and Nevada Falls and of course the giant sequoias.
With an occasional dusting of snow in the valley, winter can be a spectacular time
to visit these sights, with an added bonus of far fewer crowds blocking the amazing
views. Locals frequent the park in winter, more than any other time of year.
Even before it became a National Park in 1890, it was the idea of James McCauley
that began Yosemites famous Firefall. It was 1872, high above Yosemite Valley, a
roaring bonfire was built at the edge of Glacier Point, which towers 3,200 feet above
the valley. At 9 p.m. sharp, a master of ceremonies in Curry Village shouted out, Let
the Fire Fall! and the bonfires glowing embers were slowly pushed over the edge of
Glacier Point, creating a glittering Waterfall of Fire.
In 1968, on a cold January evening with maybe 50 people watching, the U.S. Forest
Service discontinued the Glacier point spectacle. To this day, from Camp Curry you
can still see a faint scar where the fire burned away the cliff s lichen. Although it was
an amazing sight and truly popular with tourists, it was determined that it ran contrary with the very purpose of the park which was to show off its natural wonders.
Henry Berrey the public relations director for the park, put it like this:
The Firefall, a fancy of James McCauleys that caught on, was popular for almost
100 years, died Thursday January 25, 1968 in a blazing farewell.
It was a dandy Firefall, fat and long and it ended with an exceptionally brilliant
spurt, the embers lighting the cliff as they floated slowly downward.
Only five years after the Firefall demise, outdoor photographer Galen Rowell took
the first known pictures of what would be an even more impressive rare and natural
Yosemite phenomenon. It has since become known world-wide as a bucket-list
shot to professional and amateur photographers alike.
But its not easy the stars have to align.
There is a window of only a few days in mid-February that provide the specific
angle of the sun, during sunset that targets the light perfectly on Horsetail Falls. It
has to be warm enough above El Capitan for the snow melt, which provides water to
the falls (drought years however, are a no-go) and you have to be sure you are in the
right spot in the valley (follow the other photographers or ask a ranger).
As the water and mist falls 2,000 feet, it meets the fading sunlight, and turns golden, looking exactly like a golden lava flow.
On Feb. 13, 2016 the perfect confluence of events came together and for the first
time in six years the water lit up spectacularly. I was lucky enough to be there with
hundreds of other photographers and it truly brought a tear to my eye to see one of
natures perfect wonders.
In any time, Yosemite is worth the visit, but with the opportunity to see the rare
Golden Waterfall, a February visit is one you will never forget.

7 TIPS ON HOW TO
PHOTOGRAPH
YOSEMITES FIREFALL
1. TIME IT RIGHT
The Firefall only occurs at sunset in mid- to late-February. During that time, the setting sun hits Yosemite
Valley at just the right angle to illuminate the upper
reaches of Horsetail Fall. Feb. 17-19 is generally
considered the peak, but the Firefall can light up
nicely six to seven days before or three to four days
after the peak.
2. CHECK SNOW OR RAIN CONDITIONS
Horsetail Fall only drains a 30-acre area lying
between 6,200 and 7,600 feet. If there is not enough
melting snow or recent rainfall, there will not be
enough runoff to feed the waterfall. And if Horsetail
fall is not flowing, the firefall will not happen. Badger
Pass Ski Area, which is located at roughly the same
elevation as the Horsetail Fall drainage, often lists
snow conditions.
3. WATCH THE WEATHER
If its raining, snowing or even just cloudy at sunset,
the suns rays will not illuminate Horsetail Fall.
4. ARRIVE EARLY TO FIND THE PERFECT SPOT
Horsetail Fall tumbles down the eastern face of El
Capitan, and its visible from several viewpoints along
Northside Drive, Southside Drive, and the Merced
River. Spend the morning or early afternoon scouting
out different locations, and decide which spot suits
you best. Then in the mid- to late-afternoon, claim your
spot. many viewpoints fill up with dozens of photographers by sunset, and its first-come, first-served. my
strategy has always been to arrive early with a chair, a
book and a bottle of wine.
5. BRING A LONG LENS
The top of Horsetail Fall is located over 2,000 feet
above the floor of yosemite Valley. No matter what
viewpoint you choose, youll need a long lens (200mm
or higher) to frame a tight crop of the Firefall.
6. USE A TRIPOD
This is always good advice, but its particularly
important for the Firefall, which occurs in low light and
generally requires a long lens. A sturdy tripod will stabilize your camera, reducing image blur and resulting
in crisp, sharp images.
7. MEMORY
Shooting in Yosemite provides tons of opportunities
on a normal day, but youll be remiss if you start shooting the Firefall and run out of memory. Its not unusual
for professional photographers to take over a thousand
shots of the Firefall in 10 15 minutes.
Follow these Yosemite Firefall photography tips, and
hopefully youll get the perfect shot!

5 WINERIES ON SHENANDOAH TRAIL
BY MICHELE SMITH | PHOTOS ARE COURTESY TO THE ENTERTAINER
The Shenandoah trail in Amador Wine region is a beautiful place to visit year round and is just a hop, skip and a jump
from the Folsom/El Dorado Hills area. For wine lovers across the spectrum, there is truly something for everyone, however
it is completely impossible to visit every single winery along Shenandoah Road, which makes one important question on
the top of any wine aficionados mind: What are some of the highlights?
SABON ESTATE
HELWIG WINERY
While every winery is unique in its own realm, there

are a couple of stops one should keep in mind. Sobon
Estate while a little further out, is definitely one to
check out. With its historical charm founded in 1856,
this historical landmark is one of the oldest wineries in
Northern California. Dedicated to making outstanding
Zinfandels, the location offers one of the most beautiful picnic areas in the region and a museum of early
agriculture and winemaking. Who can resist a location
where quality Zinfandels meet history?
For those looking for the perfect photo, Helwig

Winery should be a definite stop on the Shenandoah
trail. Helwig offers sweeping views of vineyard vistas,
while producing several award-winning wines. If you
are looking for something unique, definitely go on one
of the popular cave tours. Summer visitors summer will
enjoy outdoor concerts. Helwigs food and wine pairing
parties are beyond compare and visitors can taste away
while enjoying the breathtaking views.

KARMERE VINEYARDS

HOURS:11:00 A.M.-5 P.M. DAILY
Karmere Vineyards is owned by two of the most

famous personalities in this region. The winery was
founded by Marilyn Hoops, who named it after her
mother, grew up on a potato farm in Idaho. At age
26 she moved to Amador and fell in love with the
Shenandoah Valley region. The beautiful location has
a plenitude of award-winning wines, as awarded by
the California, Orange County, Amador County and
El Dorado County fairs, with silver, gold and double
gold awards. Before a visit, peek online to see the
upcoming events and be sure to visit the exclusive
selection of handcrafted wines.
VILLA TOSCANO WINERY

(209) 245-3800, VILLATOSCANO.COM
HOURS: 10 A.M.-5:30 P.M. DAILY
Another trail favorite without question would be Villa Toscano essentially bringing the essence of Tuscany to the
Amador region. In addition to quality wines, enjoy a lovely lunch at the Villa Toscano Bistro offering fresh salads, mouthwatering sandwiches, delectable desserts and even daily specials. Finally, yet importantly, Villa Toscano boasts some of the
best wine clubs in the region, but do not take our word for it, see for yourself.

10776 SHENANDOAH ROAD, PLYMOUTH,

(209) 245-6282, JEFFRUNQUISTWINES.COM
HOURS: 11 A.M. - 5 P.M. THURSDAY -MONDAY.
Jeff Runquist Wines is another locale for those

who love wines that become more balanced with
age, but also can be enjoyed immediately when
opened at dinner. Surrounded by vineyards,
visitors to this location will enjoy a quaint tasting
room and award-winning wines. Jeff Runquist
even created his open label featuring the Z
Zinfandel. This winery is a must-stop for those
looking for a smaller winery tasting experience.

AMADOR WINE
WINE IN A CAN?
AMADOR VINTNER CANS WINE FOR CONSUMERS EASE

BY ALEXIS EISENHAUER | PHOTO IS COURTESY TO FOOTHILL ENTERTAINER
implicity, portability, and novelty are the driving forces

behind one of the cutting edge trends in the wine industry; wine in a can. Emerging popularity is apparent,
with an increase in dollar sales of over 120 percent
between June 2015 and June 2016, according to Nielsen (2016).
This dramatic growth draws attention from savvy wineries that
recognize the trends potential, yet the number of participants
remains remarkably minimal.
Nestled in the heart of Amador Countys Shenandoah Valley,
the family-owned and operated Vino Noceto is one of these
few daring wineries (and the only one in the Sierra Foothills)
breaking with tradition by exploring this new concept of wine
container. Director of Sales Nocetos Lindy Gullett and Winemaker Rusty Folena explain the reasoning, process, and creativity
that prompted the inception of their canned Frivolo. Having
already delved into the world of wine container innovation with
their Sangiovese bag-in-a-box and keg production, Vino Noceto
already had a history of exploring new wine
containers. Investigating the
viability of cans was
a natural next
step.
WHY WOULD A WINERY MOVE AWAY FROM TRIED-AND-TRUE GLASS?

Practicality is the answer. Bottled wine is usually limited by the
confining properties of breakage, weight, and often a minimum
quantity of several glasses. Without the need for glasses and
bottle-openers, wine in a can is easy to take anywhere anytime;
just throw it in an ice chest or backpack and go.
Canned wine will also fit into some unique markets and will
serve a purpose where glass bottles will not work, such as pools,
beaches, and parks, Folena added. Not to mention, the ability to
enjoy just one or two glasses of wine without having to open an
entire bottle is not only convenient, but also less wasteful.
Because of these benefits, wine cans are currently one of the
largest growth markets in the industry, meeting an ever-growing demand, especially with millennials looking for practical,
lightweight, and eco-friendly options. Nielsen (2016) reports that
total sales of canned wine more than doubled in one year ($6.4
million in June 2015 to $14.5 million in June 2016), and it is only
expected to continue to rise as the trend expands.
WHAT ABOUT THE TASTE?
Gullet assures wine lovers not to worry.
There is very little to no flavor impact because we use a special
can lining that guarantees zero contact between the wine and
metal, she said.
This step in the canning process also insulates the product;
preserving flavor that otherwise can be
lost over time in a bottle. For Nocetos
first foray into wine in a can they
have chosen Frivolo, a refreshing
fruity blend that includes Moscato
bianco and orange muscat.
Our Frivolo is light and bright
with a slightly sweet spritz, a

CANNED WINE
A RIPENING TREND
style of wine that thrives in a can,

claims Gullett.
Over the past decade, cans of bubbly
similar to the Frivolo, have been at the
forefront. But it is only in the past few
years that other types of wine have
found their way into cans. Advances in
the material construction technology,
resulting in a higher quality internal
barrier (that aluminum cans of the
past lacked), allow for more robust
and rich wines to maintain quality
and flavor (ODonnell, 2016). Yet, not
every wine is suitable for a can.
Canned wine is great for certain
varietals, Folena explains. Due to the
cans airtight seal, wines that require
a specific degree of aging to achieve
their signature flavor simply do not
process like they do in a bottle. For
centuries, winemakers have figured
out the nuances of oxygen exchange
through corks, and todays wine industry just doesnt have the experience yet
to know how to perform an equivalent
function in a can.
WOULD ADDING A CANNING
PRODUCTION LINE COMPLICATE CELLAR
OPERATIONS?
There is not too much difference
in the cellar for how we prepare the
Frivolo for canning versus conventional bottling, Folena said.
For wineries implementing canned
wine production, the intention is not
to offer a different wine, but rather
more options for its application, so
winemakers will offer can and bottle
from the same batch (Szymanski,
2015).
With a powerful blend of consumer
benefits, marketability, and ease of
transition to production, wine in a
can has the potential for success in
an industry that continues to strive
for balance between tradition and
modernization. Just as with any trend,
wine in a can is expected to increase
the discussion around its applicability
while driving continued exploration
of its uses and future prospect in the
wine industry.

Rain, rain, go away

LETS GO BUY A HOUSE TODAY
BY PAT QUAN
Somehow I survived the rains in January. Wow! That

was some rain. So they say the drought is officially
over. Whats the opposite of drought? Merriam-Webster says its overabundance or excess. Is there a
definition of a flood time?
February is not my favorite winter month. Im not
big on cold, dark and wet. Im not the guy thats going
to move to Seattle one day (great place to visit absolutely gorgeous when the sun shines). Im the guy that
loves sunshine. I even use a sunshine day lamp at my
desk office to increase my mood.
February is the month of my wedding anniversary.
Not a coincidence. We chose February on purpose.
It gave me something to look forward to and love
about February. My wife and I always go to a Japanese
restaurant to celebrate (no, Im not Japanese). We
went to a Japanese restaurant on our first date and our
anniversary coincides on that date, so its become our
tradition for many years.
So romance is in the air. Its in the snow, in the rain
and in the brisk winter air. Folsom can be fun in February. For our special day, there are so many Japanese
restaurants to choose from. We go to a lot of them.
Mikuni, Hisui Sushi, Aloha Sushi and more. There
are so many nice places for anyone to enjoy a Valentines dinner. Have a great meal at Bacchus House and
check out their Valentine collectibles for a wonderful
gift.
I dont have to leave Folsom to explore a million
options to find just the right Valentines gift for the
special women in my life (my wife and daughters).
I cant pass up Sees Candies. I love Sees. Theres 10
stores that sell jewelry in Palladio alone, not including
the wonderful options throughout Folsom.
Theres some various imaginative ways to spend time

with your sweetie. Activities together are so special.
A nice stroll through Old Town, a hike in the hills, a
romantic outing at Folsom Lake, or a day-trip to the
slopes. For those that want to stay inside, going to the
movies is fun, but what about letting your artistic side
out for the night? Painted Studios at the Palladio lets
you paint, drink wine and have a memorable time.
Still cant find the right gift? How bout a wonderful
four bed-three bath 1,600-square-foot home in Empire Ranch? Now, were talking. Yes, buy your sweetie
a home. A lasting gift. A memorable gift. Keep the
receipt in case it doesnt fit. But you may have to pay a
price for that home.
Real estate sales are thriving in Folsom. I guess
everyone has the same idea. In the middle of January,
there were only 68 homes for sale 68! To put that
in perspective, the 66 in December 2016 was the lowest level in three years.
In December 2016, 80 homes were sold. That means
that it would take less than one month to sell all of
the homes (inventory). Thats insane. The average price
was $498,494, well above the 2016 year-to-date average of $481,536. Folsom homes are selling, selling for
more and selling quickly. The average Folsom home
that sold in 2016 sold in just 33 days.
Real estate is exciting and Im excited to continue to
help more families in 2017 with their real estate needs.
With proper planning and a good Realtor (luckily, I
know a really good one , you can smoothly get to your
next stage in life.

CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE ON ICE SKATES

Disney on Ice presents Worlds of Enchantment at Golden 1 Center
BY RACHEL ZIRIN
Experience the Worlds of Enchantment with Disney on Ice at the Golden
1 Center in Sacramento Feb. 16-20, with Disney Pixars Cars, Toy Story 3,
Disneys The Little Mermaid, and Frozen.
With more than 40 cast members, this action-packed ice spectacular show
will thrill the crowds with high-speed stunts and high-octane fun.
Rebecca Neugorfer plays one of the ensemble skaters and can be seen all over
the show.
The 25-year-old started skating 20 years ago after she saw ice skating on television. It interested her to the point that she wanted to do it for her birthday
and since then, she hasnt stopped, she said.
My favorite thing about being with Disney on Ice is I get to travel, Neugorfer said. I absolutely love performing for little kids and seeing their faces light
up is also one of my favorite parts.
The Los Angeles native has been with the company for five years and she
said that she keeps saying she will do it for only one more year, but she cant
seem to bring herself away from it.
There are always great opportunities to do bigger
roles, Neugorfer said. We rotate out so I always get to
try different roles big or small during the tours.
She is currently taking classes to get a little bit of college under her belt, but she is still figuring it out.
Neugorfer said she lives in hotels while on
tour and hospitality interests her and
she may be interested in going
into hotel management.
Neugorfer said the Disney
on Ice show is really fun and
fascinating.
One of my favorite moments
during the show is when a girl
sees her favorite princess and
the princess makes eye
contact with her, you can
see how excited she
is. Its so exciting to
watch.

WHEN IRISH MEN ARE SINGING
HARRIS CENTER HOSTS WORLD RENOWNED FIVE IRISH TENORS IN FIRST AMERICAN TOUR
BY MATTHEW WHITLEY | PHOTO IS COURTESY
oming to the tour the country for the first time, Irelands
beloved Five Irish Tenors will performing two different shows at Folsoms Harris Center. The Five Tenors,
comprised of David Martin, Morgan Crowly, Ciarn Kelly,
George Hutton and Alan Leech have dazzled audiences
around the world with beautiful singing at the Royal Albert
Hall, White House and the Olympics. The Tenors are
accompanied by two exquisite musicians: Pianist, Composer
and Arranger Feargal Murray and Pianist and Music Director Daddy Forde.
The Tenors will present two different programs:
SALUTE TO IRELAND
The Tenors present a sensational program of the most
famous beloved Irish Songs, fusing Irish wit and boisterous
charm with lyricism, dramatic flair and operatic style in
the program Salute to Ireland. Program includes Toora Loora Looral, My Wild Irish Rose, When Irish Eyes
Are Smiling, As She Moved Through the Fair, and the
glorious Danny Boy.
VOICES OF IRELAND
The Tenors blend Irelands traditional musical vocal heritage with a modern, vibrant contemporary Ireland in the
program Voices of Ireland. They will perform classics such
as Danny Boy and My Wild Irish Rose to modern day
hits such as Bonos In a Lifetime and Brendan Grahams
You Raise Me Up. A thrilling, dynamic program of joy
and passion, spirit and love.
Ciarn Kelly
I got a chance to speak with, Ciarn Kelly, recently from

his hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, where they recently landed
to begin their tour. Kelly, a graduate of the Royal Academy
of Music, Dublin, has been performing since 2007. He has
performed numerous operas, as well as, founding the Irish a
capella group, Ardu.
FLE Feb USE.indd 50
1/27/17 4:51 PM
SO THE FIVE OF YOU ARE TOURING THE

STATES FOR THE FIRST TIME, HOW IS
IT WITH SO MANY MEMBERS TRAVELING TOGETHER THATS A LOT OF EGO,
MOOD, AND PERSONALITY?
Yeah, well, with the guys here playing the
piano on the stage, theres actually seven and
theyre very much part of the team. Yes and no.
We all have known each other for individually
and with the three different projects for quite a
while. Ireland is a small place in the music world
so weve all been aware of each other and we get
along. Its part of the reason for getting together,
that we do get on so well.
If egos got in the way, we wouldnt be working
with those people. I think thats one thing to
come through the show is the kind of camaraderie that weve got; were very relaxed with each
other, we trust each other and most importantly I
hope, we sound well together.
YOURE ONLY 30, WHAT DREW YOU

TO CLASSICAL MUSIC AND OPERA AS
OPPOSED TO POP OR ROCK MUSIC?
I guess for me, I cant necessarily speak for the
rest of them, but for me personally, its in my
blood. Its in the background of my whole entire
family going back to my grandfather. Everybody
sang classical music as it were and I joined the local cathedral choir at the age of 5 and you know,
well, singing for the last 25 years. So, I went to
study music in college in Dublin.
Thats what they kind of trained us in and but
I think one of the key things to mention about
what we do with the Five Irish Tenors is that while
were all in a sense classically trained, were not
here to show off opera. Everybody knows if they
like that or they dont like it or not, and thats
fair enough, but our shows are very much more
diverse in range of styles and genres across the
show. George, for example, hed be probably
the first to tell you that hes not an opera singer.
Hes very much an Irish tenor but hes not an
opera singer. Hes got such a rich background in
traditional Irish music.
Morgan has vast experience but theres a lot of
experience in a musical theatre.
I HAVE SEEN YOUR COVERS OF BILLY JOELS PIANO MAN, AND I READ YOU ARE
DOING A COVER OF BONO IN THE SHOW.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE OR INTRODUCE
DIFFERENT PIECES?
I suppose it depends on the audience we are
performing for. For audiences for this particular
tour, we sat down together and it was a collective
decision. Daniel Forte, our pianist and musical
director, he makes the final call. He arranged all
the songs, theyre all brand new unique arrangements specifically for this tour, but i guess a
combination of our favorite songs. Songs that are
very personal to us so that we can we can deliver
them in a personal way, as well as, being
aware of what an American audience might
want to hear and might want to join in with and
connect with. So theres lots and lots of reasons
and we all have our own input, but its those
essentially. Its what we feel as a group and will
do two things: connect as fast as possible with an
audience while also introducing a little bit of our
own take on things. In the case of Bono, we are
singing In a Lifetime which is an amazing U2
piece which you would literally never have heard
in this way before. We hope were bringing the
audience new things and new ideas and hopefully the audiences appreciate that.

A GREAT SONG IS LIKE A GREAT PLAY. IT

CAN BE OPEN TO REINTERPRETATION
BECAUSE THE STRUCTURE IS SOUND.
Yeah, I think thats part of the reason why we
can take Irish music, why its so successful, and
why we can take our music all over the world, not
just to America but all of the world and it goes
down well because we have such a rich history of
beautiful, just really simple melodies, thats all
they are. Someone 200 years ago walked into a
pub or walked into a field and sang a song, and
there were stories and melodies to have cried
over the years. And weve done not just us, but
you know people have done things with them on
an instrument on the harmonies and just stayed
in essence the song that was a beautiful melody
that they were originally.
ARE THERE SONGS LIKE DANNY BOY
THAT YOU JUST TIRE OF SINGING?
Youre asking me after three concerts. Ask me
again after 40!
ARE THERE OTHER ART FORMS THAT
INFORM YOUR MUSIC?
I suppose in many ways lots of different art
helps to evolve ones individual art form like
certainly a lot of the Irish music simply comes
from poetry. A lot of well-known writers like Yeats

have donated their wonderful words to the music
in order to shape the kind of Irish song tradition.
And then from a performance point of view, you
have to think about theater, and in essence,
while we like to make sure that our music comes
from our heart and is a personal thing. In essence
it is a performance and you have to entertain and
be able to be true and to act on stage and to act
out the stories that we tell. So, certainly theater
and poetry and all the kind of literary art forms
definitely have an influence, i guess.
IS THERE A FAVORITE SONGWRITER OR
COMPOSER THAT YOU LOVE TO GO BACK
TO AGAIN AND AGAIN?
I mean personally for myself, I would say
the obvious ones like Mozart and Handel are
simply the two, in my opinion, the two greatest
opera writers that ever existed. But as time
has moved on, Ive moved closer to a capella
music and to sing in ensembles, which is what
we do so strongly with the Five Irish Tenors. So
rather than composers, I look at all the artists to
emulate and to take inspiration by, so the King
Singers, maybe or the Swingle Singers, would be
inspirational for me because its not for me its
not just about writing the music. Mozart and
Handel those composers did so well but what
were kind of evolving to in this day and age is
using music that already exists but making it
unique, arranging it for five or six voices or for an
entire orchestra or whatever they do, and I think
people who do that are the modern inspiration
for performers.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR THE
HARRIS CENTER SHOW?
Id say to come and expect to open their
minds to expect a mixture of what you would
expect to be at a traditional Irish music concert.
Weve got the real classics, When Irish Eyes are
Smiling and Danny Boy but to be prepared to
open their mind and to be introduced to some
new songs. There will be people there who will
have come and seen the likes of Celtic Women
and the Three Irish Tenors but who may not have
heard from these artists from Ireland or songs
performed in that way before. I guess be ready
for something different. I know this sounds clich
but I genuinely, honestly think thats something
that we mix and care. So we have the usual kind
of Irish banter and there are really new songs
there and that if they want something different,
something new, then they know where to come
to and hear.

COUNTRY LEGEND
JOHN
ANDERSON
IN A SPECIAL ACOUSTIC SETTING
BY MATTHEW WHITLEY | PHOTO IS COURTESY
here are few names in country music cannon that demand as

much respect as John Anderson. The prolific songwriter and
singer has been releasing albums since 1977 when he released
his first major label single, Ive Got a Feelin (Somebodys Been
Stealin). Over the course of four decades, Anderson has released
more than 22 albums, 40 singles, nominated for a Grammy, awarded
theAcademy of Country MusicCareer Achievement award, a key
figure in the New Traditionalist Movement in country music, and
most recently he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriting Hall
of Fame. Pretty impressive for a guy that at one time was repairing
the roof of the Grand Ol Opry! Country Til I Die, I Wish I could
Have Been There, Goin Down Hill, and his smash classic Swingin
are just a few of Andersons many hit songs. His most recent release
is 2015s Goldmine which was released on his own recording label,
Bayou Boys featuring newest singles, Freedom isnt Free and Magic
Mama (penned by his longtime friend, Merle Haggard).
I caught up with John Anderson by phone from his home in Smithville, Tenn.
FLE Feb USE.indd 52
WHEN DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER MUSIC?

You know I started playing guitar when I was
seven and you know its been just about been my
whole life ever since I was a teenager.
WHY WERE YOU DRAWN TO TRADITIONAL
COUNTRY MUSIC, THAN, SAY HENDRIX, WHO
WAS HUGE DURING YOUR TEEN YEARS?
Actually, I went down the Hendrix road, as well
as The Doors and Steppenwolf. I was certainly into
rock n roll time back in the day, my younger day.
However, I guess maybe just the simple honesty
of the music is what drew me. People like Merle
Haggard and Johnny Cash, you know, and then
actually later on becoming friends with those guys
really you know, there again, I seem to be in the
right place at the right time.
1/27/17 4:51 PM
WHAT DO YOU THINK COUNTRY

MUSIC DOES BEST OR ACHIEVES
THAT OTHER MUSIC DOESNT?
Well thats a big question with a lot
of different answers, really. You know
some people might say that their
grandpa on a porch with a fiddle
was the best country music and then
somebody might say, Johnny Cash
with a 25-piece band and orchestra
might be the best ever heard. I dont
know. Real country music ... you know
these days a lot of them are calling
it Americana which I dont know
how they find the names for this in
the end. Good music is good music,
and good rock n roll is good rock n
roll and good country music is good
country music and great is great
and these days there aint a lot of
greatness around.

GOLDMINE WAS RELEASED LAST

YEAR, WHY THE LONG BREAK IN
STUDIO RELEASES?
There really wasnt a gap in the
years when we stopped, actually,
there was a gap in the years when the
records didnt come. We made records
during that time but no one probably
will ever hear em. There were some
good songs on those records, but by
this time I had become frustrated with
not being able to get the music out.
So we just kind of form our own label
so that we could be sure and say that
it was out and people could get to
them even if it they had to order them
from some website.
But, indeed we got a record out
and it did a lot of things for us let a
lot of people know that we were still a
viable act for making records and doing shows and its been a good thing.
And at this point were working on
songs for the next record.
WHAT IS YOUR SONGWRITING

PROCESS?
They come all different ways for me
and Im just open sometimes its just
a line or a word. Sometimes its a whole.
You know I have songs right now that
the whole melody is written but there
arent hardly any words for it. For me,
fortunately I can do it both ways.
HOW HAS YOUR SONGWRITING
CHANGED SINCE YOU BEGAN? IS IT
EASIER OR HARDER NOW?
Im not in near the hurry that I used
to be. For me, its never been easy. I
have to work at it, you know, but thank
goodness its not really my work its
something that I love to do.
WHAT SONGWRITER HAS MET THE
MOST TO YOU AND WHY?
Yes, probably, Merle I even
had the privilege of telling Merle
personally that when all is said and
done, his work as a songwriter and a
singer, I put it right at the topnot
just country any music, Im talking
about Beethoven, Paul McCartney,
whoever Merle Haggard is big
stuff.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO REPLENISH

YOUR ARTISTIC WELL?
The outdoors is where I look for my
change. Hunting or fishing or just
being in the outdoors. ... I live a very
country life, very down-to-earth kind
of living. Therefore, I try to play and
write-down-to-earth kind of music.
WHAT IS PLANNED FOR THE
HARRIS CENTER AUDIENCE?
Well, actually it looks like this
particular tour, were on an acoustic
run out West and this will be just
myself and one other musician.
So its kind of the songs in a real
broken down simplistic kind of way.
However, weve been doing this show
now a couple years off and on and we
really get some great responses to it
about sold out every night the reviews are great, the crowds are great,
the response has been great. So were
just going to kind of hope for more of
that out there on the West coast.

many other countries around the world.

WINE COLUMNIST
PROFILE
Sparkling wines range from being very dry to sweet and are labeled accordingly:
Brut Nature, being the most dry, followed by extra brut, brut, sec, demi sec and
sweet.
But if you are looking for something entirely different, try a bottle of sparkling
Shiraz from Australia. It is a full-bodied red using the same production methods
used in the production of Champagne. Very little is actually exported to the
United States.
Taste that special bottle for Valentines Day before purchasing at UnWineds sparkling tasting, 5:308 p.m. Feb. 10.
