Doyle Cook's works are intuitive images, often described as "sensory landscapes".

They are created from the act of painting. The images evolve from color, texture and

energy produced by layers of media and brushwork. These rich surfaces invite an

exploration of the levels of awareness found in spaces between a "known image"

and its layers of possibilities. Although these are abstract images, Doyle Cook's

color palette, compositions and sensuous surfaces reflect an obvious reference to

northern New Mexico.

Doyle Cook moved to Santa Fe in 2010 from the Boston area, where she exhibited

at the MPG Gallery in Boston, the Jon Barrett Gray Fine Art Gallery in Manchester

and the Alper's Fine Art Gallery in Andover, MA, as well as at numerous juried

exhibits including the Cambridge Art Association. Her works are in various private

and corporate collections including William A. Berry&Son, Inc and the Verenium

Corporation in Massachusetts.

As part of its Big Screen Classics series, Lensic Presents a kickoff to summer June 1 and 2 with an Indiana Jones weekend featuring the first two movies in the successful franchise: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984).

Two evenings of action and adventure (and snakes!) with the archeologist Indiana Jones is a perfect way to start off the summer for kids, families and those of us who want to beat the heat and the typical summer offerings at the multiplex. Directed by Steven Spielberg and written by George Lucas, Raiders of the Lost Ark was conceived on the heels of the successes of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Spielberg) and Star Wars (Lucas). A critical and popular success, the movie was the top grossing film of the year. It also made Harrison Ford, already a cultural hero due to his role as Hans Solo in Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, a huge star.

Raiders of the Lost Ark introduces us to the archeologist, Dr. Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones Jr. PhD, who is assigned by the U.S. government to locate the lost Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis do. The year is 1936. With the help of an old flame, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), Indy discovers the Ark in Egypt put is pursued by the Nazis, led by his nemesis, Dr. René Belloq. Kidnapping by the bad guys, close encounters with snakes and lots of hand to hand combat ensues.

Set in 1935, the darker Temple of Doom (1984) was created as a prequel to Raiders. After escaping Chinese gangsters with the help of a singer and actress Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw), Indy stumbles upon an Indian village under the power of a cult leader, Mola Ram (Amrish Puri). It’s up to Indy, Willie and their twelve-year-old sidekick, Short Round, to rescue the village children kidnapped by the evil cult leader. In the mix are the holy Sankara Stones, desired by all for their power.

The Big Screen Classics series is part of Lensic Presents, a program of the Lensic Performing Arts Center created to bring diverse and affordable programming to Santa Fe. Big Screen Classics are sponsored by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.

Event Details: Lensic Presents, Big Screen Classics: Raiders of the Lost Ark, June 1 and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, June 2. Both movies are at 7 pm. The movies are shown on DVD. Run times: Raiders of the Lost Ark, 115 minutes; Temple of Doom, 118 minutes.

In Unbinding the Heart, Stassinopoulos invites readers on an inspiring journey of inner exploration to reconnect with their true selves.

Stassinopoulos was born and raised in Athens, Greece. She holds a bachelor's degree from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, and a Master's in Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. She is a frequent blogger for The Huffington Post, having collaborated on various projects with her sister, Arianna Huffington. Unbinding the Heart is her third book.

Collected Works welcomes Craig Johnson for a reading from his latest mystery novel, As the Crow Flies: A Walt Longmire Mystery.

Embarking on his eighth adventure in As the Crow Flies, Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire has a more important matter on his mind than cowboys and criminals: his daughter, Cady, is getting married. Walt and his old friend Henry Standing Bear head up to the Cheyenne Reservation to scout out wedding locations when they witness a young Crow woman plummet from Painted Warrior's majestic cliffs. It's not Walt's turf, but the newly appointed tribal police chief and Iraqi war veteran Lolo Lang shanghais him into helping with the investigation. Walt is stretched thin as he mentors Lolo, attempts to catch the bad guys, and performs the role of father of the bride.

Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire novels have been honored with the Wyoming Historical Association's Book of the Year award and the Western Writers of America Spur Award. Johnson lives in Ucross, Wyoming, population 25.

Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers will stop at Sol at Santa Fe Brewing for a 21+ show on Sunday, June 3, 2012. Jono Manson provide opening support. Advance tickets are $15 plus service fees, and are available at www.solofsantafe.com.

Based out in Tempe, AZ, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers are taking their brand new sustainable tour bus out on the road with them this summer. The bus, which already featured a bio-diesel generator, now also boasts solar panels on the roof that that will fuel batteries running various non-engine electrical needs. On their 44 city US tour this summer, the band will save about 500 gallons of gas, while encouraging their fans who attend the tour to pursue sustainable energy as well. Additionally, the band contributes to 1% For The Planet on an annual basis and recycles shipping boxes at their online merchandise store. Frontman Roger Clyne and his family have also made their home more efficient and drive a hybrid vehicle, and his award-winning Mexican Moonshine Ultra-Premium Tequilas are distilled in a specialized process that prevents toxins from entering the water table in Jalisco, Mexico.

Before joining up with his Peacemakers, Roger Clyne got his start with The Refreshments back in the 1990's, who were best known for "Banditos" and "Down Together" (from their #1 on Heatseekers album Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy) as well as the King Of The Hill theme song. Clyne is a fourth generation Arizona native, and with Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, the group has had six consecutive albums debut in Billboard's Top 10 Internet Sales Chart- the first band to ever do so. Over the years, they've opened for everyone from Willie Nelson and Sammy Hagar to Kid Rock and John Fogerty. They also hold an annual south-of-the-border party bash called Circus Mexicus in Rocky Point, Mexico, which draws thousands of fans from every US state and 15 countries worldwide. As Paste Magazine puts it, "Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers are proof that the crazy, reckless, restless, swaggering soul of American rock is still burning a hole in the night sky."

Nacha Mendez takes the stage every Sunday. Solo acoustic. Latin World Music. CD and prize giveaways during one of Nacha's New Mexico History trivia Quiz.

Collected Works features Eric Sandweiss for a reading and slide show on his book, The Day In Its Color: Charles Cushman's Photographic Journey Across a Vanishing America.

Charles Cushman (1896-1972) photographed a disappearing world in living color. Cushman's midcentury America--a place normally seen only through a scrim of gray--reveals itself as a place as vivid and real as the view through a window. Eric Sandweiss' book The Day in Its Color introduces readers to Cushman's extraordinary work and a recently unearthed archive of his work: 14,500 color photographs, most shot on vivid Kodachrome stock. From 1938-1969, Cushman travelled constantly, shooting everything he encountered as he ventured from New York to New Orleans, Chicago to San Francisco, and everywhere in between. His photos include portraits, ethnographic studies, agricultural and industrial landscapes, movie sets and media events, children playing, laborers working, and thousands of street scenes, all precisely documented in time and place. The result is a chronicle of an era almost never seen, or even envisioned, in color. This well-preserved collection is all the more remarkable for having gone undiscovered for decades. What makes the photos most valuable, however, is the wide range of subjects, landscapes, and moods it captures--snapshots of a lost America as yet untouched by a homogenizing overlay of interstate highways, urban renewal, chain stores, and suburban development--a world of hand-painted signs, state fairs, ramshackle shops, small town living and bustling urban scenes. The book also reveals the fascinating and startling life story of the man who stood, unseen, on the other side of the lens, surely one of America's most impressive amateur photographers and outsider artists. With over 150 gorgeous color prints, The Day in Its Color gives readers one of the most evocative visual histories of mid-20th century America.

Author Eric Sandweiss is the current Carmony Chair of History at Indiana University. A graduate of Harvard University and the University of California at Berkeley, he has been the recipient of a myriad of honors including a Fulbright Award and aSmithsonian Fellowship. His research interests include urban studies, architecture, and visual culture. In addition to The Day in Its Color, he is the author of St. Louis: The Evolution of an American Urban Landscape.

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

Blitzen Trapper is a Portland, Oregon-based experimental country/folk band signed to Sub Pop Records. Formed in 2000, the band currently operates as a quintet, with Eric Earley (guitar/harmonica/vocals/keyboard), Erik Menteer (guitar/keyboard), Brian Adrian Koch (drums/vocals/harmonica), Michael Van Pelt (bass), and Marty Marquis (guitar/keyboards/vocals/melodica). Blitzen Trapper self-released its first three albums. "Wild Mountain Nation" was #98 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.

Blitzen Trapper released its third album, Wild Mountain Nation, in 2007 to much critical acclaim from critics such as Pitchfork Media, The Nerve, and Spin Magazine. The group signed to Sub Pop Records in the summer of 2007.

The release of Furr in 2008 was a high-water mark for the group as their eclectic new songs received a two-page feature in Rolling Stone. The album was ranked #13 on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2008 while the title track was ranked #4 on the magazine's Best Singles of 2008.

Before we go any further, before we address anything, I’d like you to forget. Maybe forget what Gillian Welch shows you’ve seen, the floorboards all sparking from the weight of these two souls, Gill and Dave, and their four collective cowboy-booted soles; maybe forget when you first heard “Orphan Girl,” that song that seemed to exist outside of time and caused everyone who heard it to become the itinerant, the loner, the longing; maybe forget the years that have passed when last a new Gillian Welch record graced the hi-fi’s of the music-listening world – forget the pop stars risen and erased in those years, the administrations and regimes born and gone in those years – forget, indeed, that there are eight of them, eight years, since Soul Journey arrived into the world.

The Harrow & The Harvest, Gill and Dave’s new record, is both a product of and is unrelated to those years in-between. Best to forget that. What it is, indisputably, is the product of two people who have become so entwined in one another that the songs and the singing and the playing on this record seems to exude from a single voice. This is the sound of two people in a room, playing to one another, with one another. This is the sound of the room in which the two people are playing. This is the sound of two voices, locked in unison, locked in harmony. The sound of two people playing live, with no overdubs, and very few takes. Two people making music together as if they were one soul combined.

Now back up.

This is what we know: Gill and Dave met at Berklee College of Music; Gillian was studying songwriting, while Dave studied guitar; they met at an audition for a country band. Together, they moved to Nashville, TN where most of their work together has been produced. Since then they have influenced and inspired new generations of country and folk singers, songwriters and players. They have earned the slavish admiration of many of the most lauded and loved voices of the Americana milieu now living – and some who have since deceased (rest their souls). They’ve had their songs recorded by the likes of Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, and Solomon Burke. Gill and Dave’s body of work is deeply rooted in the world it has sought to portray in song: the American South.

“Yes, Tennessee figures rather prominently in the new songs,” says Gillian. The record, however, has little of the sweet sunny south; in fact, there’s a real dark pallor to the thing – and the language in the songs seems to recall the shady groves of Tennessee far more than anything that the duet has done in recent memory. “The truth is, we absented ourselves from Nashville for a while, to escape the weight of home and studio and record label. But I think our thoughts turned back there with a newness and clarity I hadn’t felt since I moved there almost 20 years ago.”
And the record they’ve made, tonally, is a new Southern sound, with the sort of songs you wouldn’t be surprised to hear issuing from some verdant, wooded hollow in Appalachia; the sort of songs you’d expect to be sung to soothe unquiet babies. Songs you’d expect to hear hollered from an Asheville grange hall, all too late in the evening. Songs with the wry humor of the back porch. “Dave says this record is ‘ten different kinds of sad’, but it’s not without humor. I feel like there’s a maturity in it and a sense of place that only comes with time.” Gillian continues, “We feel at home in the folk tradition, and using its language combined with our own.” “That’s the whole point of the folk tradition,” laughs Dave.

And the language is gorgeous.
From the song “Tennessee”:I kissed you cause I’ve never been an angel
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine
And the sisters said I did just as I pleased
Even so I try to be a good girl
It’s only what I want that makes me weak
I had no desire to be a child of sin
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek

The thing is, the two of them, Gill and Dave, have arrived at a place in their music where it seems to be impossible to attribute those words to one or the other. That’s what I mean about their mindmeld. It’s not just them performing and playing and singing together that is so uncanny, so wholly of one voice – the songwriting itself seems to have arrived at a similar apotheosis. “As a songwriting team,” says Dave, “we are more seamless and fluid than ever before. It’s nearly impossible to unravel who wrote what word, what line, what sentiment.” Gillian adds: “It’s truly immaterial at this point. When Dave and I really get down to work, it’s like we’re in a lifeboat, like we’re the only two people in the world, and it is very quiet. I think some of that quietness comes through on these recordings.”

Listen to this record with the lights low. Listen to it on an old radio, cradled next to your ear. This is the sound of two people, singing and playing their songs. Forget the years in between.

“The way you made it
That’s the way it will be.”

Collected Works features David King Dunaway for a presentation on his collection, A Route 66 Companion.

Even before there was a road, there was a route. Buffalo trails, Indian paths, the old Santa Fe Trail--all led across the Great Plains and the western mountains to the golden oasis of California. America's insatiable westering urge culminated in Route 66, the highway that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles. Opened in 1926, Route 66 became the quintessential American road. It offered the chance for freedom and a better life, whether you were down-and-out Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl in the 1930s or cool guys cruising in a Corvette in the 1960s. Even though the interstates long ago turned Route 66 into a bylane, it still draws travelers from around the world who long to experience the freedom of the open road.

A Route 66 Companion, edited by David King Dunaway, gathers fiction, poetry, memoir, and oral history to present a literary portrait of America's most storied highway. From accounts of pioneering trips across the western plains to a sci-fi fantasy of traveling Route 66 in a rocket, here are stories that explore the mystique of the open road, told by master storytellers ranging from Washington Irving to Raymond Chandler, Joan Didion, Sylvia Plath, Leslie Marmon Silko, and John Steinbeck. Interspersed among them are reminiscences that, for the first time, honor the varied cultures--Native American, Mexican American, and African American, as well as Anglo--whose experiences run through the Route 66 story like the stripe down the highway.

David King Dunaway has written about American culture for publications from The New York Times to The Virginia Quarterly. He is currently a professor at the University of New Mexico, a Distinguished Professor of Broadcasting at San Francisco State Univeristy, and a DJ for KUNM-FM radio in Albuquerque.

The $64,000 Question
METROPOLITAN OPERA SCENERY DISPLAY

Two huge painted scenic backdrops from the old Metropolitan Opera house in New York, bought in the 1950's with money won on "The $64,000 Question" TV show by an opera enthusiast from Long Island, New York, will be on display, Wednesday evenings at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe in the railyard, May 9th to June 6th. The story of the scenery, painted by famed Met designer Joseph Urban, will be presented in a talk given by Webster Young, a composer, music journalist, and New York opera director. Young was invited twice by the White House to be a candidate for director of the National Endowment for the Arts. He will talk, play his concert grand piano, and host a Q&A with the audience.

The scenic backdrops by Urban date from 1928 and 1935, and are 50 x 24 feet. They will take up the entire width of one of the museum's large rooms. Many of the Met's great singers sang in front of this scenery.

This event also celebrates a book release by Webster Young: "Berkeley-Paris Express - The Education of a Composer, 1968-80". Copies of the book will be available for signing. Young is composer of 10 ballets and 6 operas and studied with followers of Stravinsky and Milhaud. He has been a music journalist for New York Newsday, the National Catholic Register, and the InterCollegiate Review. Numerous videos of his operas and ballets may be found on Youtube under "Webster Young".

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

Santa Fe – Where Trails and Cultures Meet

“To help celebrate New Mexico centennial, our national board chose Santa Fe” states Douglas Daniels, President of GSHA. “New Mexican genealogy is one of the most engaging studies in the country for genealogists. Students and scholars of humanities including anthropology and language study it because of its unique cultural and historical perspective” states Daniels.

In addition to the latest in methodologies in genealogical research and publications available at the conference, selected presenters will discuss historical events with a cultural perspective, a way in which the narrative of our State continues to be defined. Topics will also include the Camino Real, Jewish and French presence since the 1500s and a presentation titled, Women, Wills and their Goods, all within the framework of genealogy and family history.

The Keynote speaker will be Ana Pacheco, a native of Santa Fe who was the publisher of La Herencia magazine. Like many, Pacheco traces her New Mexico ancestral roots to the 17^th century.

The vast majority of our members are proud descendants of the first Spanish Europeans to settle in what is now New Mexico, United States of America, in 1598 or earlier.

ANCESTRAL RESEARCH COMES TO SANTA FE

Santa Fe – Where Trails and Cultures Meet

The Genealogical Society of Hispanic America (GSHA) has selected Santa Fe for its 2012 conference to be held June 15^th-17^th at The Lodge at Santa Fe.

“To help celebrate New Mexico centennial, our national board chose Santa Fe” states Douglas Daniels, President of GSHA. “New Mexican genealogy is one of the most engaging studies in the country for genealogists. Students and scholars of humanities including anthropology and language study it because of its unique cultural and historical perspective” states Daniels.

In addition to the latest in methodologies in genealogical research and publications available at the conference, selected presenters will discuss historical events with a cultural perspective, a way in which the narrative of our State continues to be defined. Topics will also include the Camino Real, Jewish and French presence since the 1500s and a presentation titled, Women, Wills and their Goods, all within the framework of genealogy and family history.

The Keynote speaker will be Ana Pacheco, a native of Santa Fe who was the publisher of La Herencia magazine. Like many, Pacheco traces her New Mexico ancestral roots to the 17^th century.

Conference package or per session attendance is available. Anyone can attend and pay for individual sessions on site the day of the conference. For details and costs and to view the list of speakers, visit www.gsha.net.

The Genealogical Society of Hispanic America is a nonprofit 501c3 organization with two chapters located in Pueblo Colorado and Burbank California. GSHA members, share the commonality of interest in researching our Hispano genealogy, with roots predominantly in New Mexico, Colorado, California and the countries of Mexico and Spain. The vast majority of our members are proud descendants of the first Spanish Europeans to settle in what is now New Mexico, United States of America, in 1598 or earlier.

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

During this time, curators from The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and The Laboratory of Anthropology are in the lobby of MIAC to look at your treasures. These curators will attempt to identify and explain any artifact or historic object presented to them. They prefer to work with objects from the Southwest but are willing to take a look at anything that is brought in. If they can not identify an object an attempt will be made to find someone who can. Sometimes, the discussion among the curators may become as much or more informative than the identification of the artifact. The event is always FREE and open to the public.

On Sunday afternoons, Santa Fe-based singer-songwriter Laurianne Fiorentino hosts a series of local musicians and writers at Collected Works Bookstore. She'll begin and end the two-hour event with sets of her own indie originals, and present a local writer and musician during each session. On May 20, she will feature poet Barbara Rockman and folk musician Joe West.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Laurianne Fiorentino's work emphasizes simple intimacy, femininity, space, and complexity - with lyrics of a surprising literary quality.

Barbara Rockman teaches poetry at Santa Fe Community College. She co-edited the anthology Women Becoming Poems. Her collection Sting and Nest was published by Sunstone Press in 2011.

Joe West was named the Santa Fe Reporter's Best Songwriter in 2008, 2009, and 2010. His folk/country takes on UFOs, broken hearts, and trailer park liberals enthrall audiences wherever he hangs his hat.

Experience all things musical as you explore the violin and other instruments.
