Welcome to “I Got My Teeth Back” on the What's The Matter With Me? Podcast I went to the dentist, and he attached some teeth to the posts the periodontist implanted in my jaw. It's been almost two years since I had buck teeth in my mouth, and it is a big change. I made a lot of squash soup, adapting the method for one hand, and I've included the recipe in this post. Shout outs Shout outs to Klaudhopper, who asked about Hoppin Hot Sauce stickers Shout outs to Tall John who called me up after I tweeted about not going to Japan https://twitter.com/johnhoppin/status/1632793064740880384 Teeth These are the images I gave to the lab that fabricated my new teeth when they asked for pictures of what my old teeth used to look like.

Using an immersion blender makes it easier to puree using only one hand. We eat leftovers for lunch with a grilled cheese sandwich and Hoppin Hot Sauce. Servings8 Servings Cooking Time75 minutes Ingredients 3lbs winter squash, cut in half, seeds taken out 4T unsalted butter Yellow onion, chopped 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup maple syrup salt and pepper, to taste 4 cups stock Instructions Preheat oven to 350 F {or 325 if using convection). Roast pumpkins until easily pierced with a fork, at least 1 hour. Let cool, then scoop out the flesh. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and once it is foamy, add the onion. Cook 5 minutes until soft. Stir nutmeg & cinnamon into the onions. When the smell permeates the room, add the stock. Add squash flesh, bring to a good simmer, stirring. Remove from heat. Leave to steam for a couple of minutes. Puree thoroughly with the immersion blender, using a stirring motion. Be extra-thorough to find any chunks of squash or onion that may be hiding under the surface.. It should be thick. I don't do any extra sieving, so I want to take my time and be sure it is well-pureed. Add maple syrup, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Still on Summer Break (!), but another in-person recording to celebrate f2f!  This time, I'm in conversation with Lindsey Hall Chief Executive Real Ideas Organisation at the VIP opening of the Devonport Markethall in Plymouth. Lindsey is a NESTA Cultural Leadership fellow, an INSEAD graduate, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Trustee of Kernow Education Arts Partnership and Plymouth Culture, member of Plymouth Growth Board and one of the WISE100 social enterprise leaders. During the COVID pandemic, she has advised the Government on the role of social enterprises both socially and economically during a time of extreme isolation. In this episode we chat about how listeners can get involved with the MarketHall 15metre immersive dome - both in terms of content creation, engaging students, and developing workplace practice. This is a really interesting collaboration project, surfacing University expertise, and connecting schools, workplaces, technologists and artists together. Developed by Real Ideas Organisation, in partnership with Plymouth City Council and the Institute of Digital Art and Technology at University of Plymouth, the Market Hall is a £7.6m project which will create a new space for digital, especially those working in immersive and creative applications of technology. Plus, stick around to the outro, to find out about our new self-paced course for launching a podcast - out at the end of Summer 2021. 

Market Hall is a 180-year-old public building that has been occupied as a private museum for the past 120 years. That tenure has obscured the building's the original purpose and the history of its earlier use. During its first sixty years, this architectural gem hosted a forgotten variety of events created and attended by diverse Charleston audiences.

AL speaks to Charika Manning who is the creative mastermind behind Charika Creations in The Market Hall, Shrewsbury. We find out about Charika's passion for making stunning creations with fabric and where the love for this trade comes from. Charika sees what she does as a hobby and a business which creates the question, how is it, doing something you adore for work? Charika has many years under her belt as a Nurse too and we spend a bit of time talking about the time she dedicated to saving lives for a living.  This episode comes to you from Petit-Glou at the top of the Market Hall, there was hustle and bustle and everything you'd expect from a busy market during the day. I love the ambiance, however it made for much harder work with the editing so this one is coming to you a little late, so apologies Charika, I hope you enjoy. Thanks so much for speak to me - AL

Good morning, RVA! It’s 41 °F, and there’s a decent chance for rain this morning. Temperatures will head up into the 50s, and there’s a possibility of even warmer days ahead—don’t count on a white Christmas this year. But! That just might mean more time to spend outside without a bunch of layers on before 2021 rolls around.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 3,876↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 7↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 360↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 55, Henrico: 176, and Richmond: 129). Since this pandemic began, 521 people have died in the Richmond region. Peak or no peak? That’s the question I ask myself every day at 12:30 PM when I update my coronaspreadsheet. The stacked graph of statewide new reported positive cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, to me at least, says we have not yet reached the peak—especially looking at hospitalizations which continued to increase over the weekend. The UVA COVID-19 Model, which I don’t link to a ton because I’m often vexed by it, agrees, projecting a peak of around 100,000 new cases per week come the middle of February. For context, Virginia reported about 25,000 new cases over the last seven days. Let me just quote directly from the dashboard: “If winter weather and the holiday season increases case growth, Virginia may see new cases peak at 137,952 per week during the week ending February 7, 2021. However, if we take additional steps to control the spread new cases may peak at 62,930 per week during the week ending January 31, 2021.” If we take additional steps things will get twice as bad as they are now? That’s grim. However, those numbers should serve as clear motivation for folks to stay home as much as possible over the next couple of months. It sucks, it’s hard, but it’s the right thing to do.The Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Kenya Hunter covers a new report from the State’s Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission that says the Virginia Department of Education “is not adequately meeting the needs of students with disabilities.” You can find the report, summary, presentation, and recommendations over on JLARC’s site. You should always, always disaggregate this type of data by race, and, unsurprisingly, Hunter says students with disabilities have a 61% graduation rate, yet “Black students with disabilities are 13% behind their non-Black peers.”I’m just going to continue to quote these Gregory J. Gilligan headlines in the RTD about the new Ukrop’s food hall: “Ukrop’s Market Hall is using new procedures to help with the high demand for its fried chicken and potato wedges.”The Richmond and Henrico Health Districts will host their final free COVID-19 testing event before we head into the end-of-year holidays today at the Eastern Henrico Health Department (1400 N. Laburnum Ave) from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM. Additionally, here’s the big list of places across the region you can get COVID test. Be smart! Get tested!Finally, a logistical note, and some ~personal news~. As we’re entering the “look back at 2020” part of the journalism cycle, this will be the final edition of Good Morning, RVA until 2021. I’m going to take the next two weeks to sleep in a bit later and make some tweaks to the tools that help me put this email together each and every day. It’s small odds and ends that I want to fix but stuff I’ve been putting off for months and months.Double finally, I wanted to give y’all an update on my professional life, both out of a willingness to be transparent and because I feel like that’s the kind of relationship we’ve grown into over the last couple of years. So! After leaving my wonderful job at RVA Rapid Transit to make space for different voices in that work and to focus on this email, I picked up a part-time job helping the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts handle requests from businesses and organizations looking to reopen after this past spring’s shutdown. This was back when case counts had started to fall and restrictions were lifting by the week—we were truly sweet summer children. Then, a month or so ago, the Health Districts' Director of Communications left to pursue other opportunities, and I was asked to step in and fill that role as Acting Director of Communications for the Richmond and Henrico Health Districts. That’s my title now, and I’m honored to serve our region in this way during this absolutely bananas time. If you’ve noticed a shift in this email from transit to public health, that—and, duh, the ongoing pandemic—is probably why. Of course, it goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway, this email does not speak on behalf of either health district, just on behalf of me. And, honestly, I had a lot of consternation about what taking on this new role would mean for this email—especially over what the folks financially supporting GMRVA through the patreon would think. Ultimately though, working on public health communications is the highest and best use of my time and talents during this crisis. I would not fault anyone—reader or patron—for unsubscribing for one of many reasons, but for folks that choose to stay on, though, thank you! The next couple of months will certainly not lack in exciting PDFs to read, public meetings to watch, and zoning to complain about—plus budget season is right around the corner!As the strangest year of my entire adult life closes out, I’m hoping that you and yours will find some time to rest and recharge for whatever comes next.Stay well, and do good.This morning’s longreadThe truth in Black and white: An apology from The Kansas City StarAnother journalism apology, this one from the Kansas City Star. As you know, I love these sorts of things, and I found this one through the RTD’s Mel Leonor who says, “Institutional introspection takes courage and leadership, and judging by the Kansas City Star’s product, a lot of resources. So many of America’s newspapers—starting with my own, the Richmond Times-Dispatch—are overdue for it, and their Black constituents deserve it.”Inside The Star, reporters and editors discussed how an honest examination of our own past might help us move forward. What started as a suggestion from reporter Mará Rose Williams quickly turned into a full-blown examination of The Star’s coverage of race and the Black community dating to our founding in 1880. Today The Star presents a six-part package. It is the result of a team of reporters who dug deeply into the archives of The Star and what was once its sister paper, The Kansas City Times. They pored over thousands of pages of digitized and microfilmed stories, comparing the coverage to how those same events were covered in the Black press — most notably by The Kansas City Call and The Kansas City Sun, each of which chronicled critical stories the white dailies ignored or gave short shrift.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 30 °F, and that’s cold. It was in the 20s mere minutes ago! However, today you can expect highs near 50 °F, and, as for now, you can still expect even warmer days ahead of us. This winter needs to make up it’s mind and get focused.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 3,860↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 52↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 352↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 160, Henrico: 144, and Richmond: 48). Since this pandemic began, 481 people have died in the Richmond region. The seven-day average of new cases in the Commonwealth hit another all-time high at 3,238. The statewide number of new hospitalizations has exceeded 100 exactly five times over the last 10 months: on May 13th and this past Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Statewide percent positivity sits at 10.9%. These are bleak numbers, y’all. I keep getting the Governor’s public schedule email and expecting to see a previously-unscheduled coronavirus announcement press conference on there, but not yet! For now, we just sit, wait, and stew in all of this virus—and there’s a lot of virus out there!As promised, and I probably could have pulled this yesterday, but here’s Superintendent Kamras’s presentation to the RPS School Board (PDF) about why he recommended fully-virtual school for the second semester. Also, while you’re in there, check out the information on year-round school on the last page of the presentation. It sounds like there’s some real momentum behind moving to that schedule, which sounds awesome to me (although, probably less awesome to my son). Look for opportunities to learn more and get involved between now and the third week of January when Kamras will present some options to the School Board. Year-round school is not free, so somehow this proposal and the engagement process around it will have to intertwine itself with the 2021 budget season, one of the very first parts of which is the presentation of the schools budget to the mayor. Also: Budget season is right around the corner, y’all!It’s important/hard/confusing to hold the previous two paragraphs in your mind and then read this report from the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Sabrina Moreno about the mental health of Richmond’s Black and Latino kids. Virtual schooling has real, negative impacts on students, and those impacts, just like the impacts of COVID-19, are disproportionately thrust upon our Black and Brown communities.A million coronamonths ago, the Mayor announced a small universal basic income program in Richmond. At launch, the program, dubbed the Richmond Resilience Initiative, gave 18 families $500 dollars a month for 24 months. Now, with an extra $500,000 from, no joke, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, the program will expand to 37 more families.Remember the CVTA? The Central Virginia Transportation Authority? That’s the body that will decide how the region spends millions and millions of new transportation dollars generated by a wholesale fuels tax and a sales tax. They and their various associated commitees have met dutifully over the last several months, and I just wanted to speak the Authority’s name aloud so we remember that this is a public body whose decisions will have a big impact on our region. They met last week with an interesting agenda item (PDF) to approve a scope of work for a study evaluating the governance structure of GRTC and the establishment of a transportation district. I don’t know what that means, but the final report is due March 31st, so keep an eye out. Their finance committee meets today with a mostly routine agenda (PDF). Anyway, nothing real to report, just remember that they exist and you may soon be called upon to public comment at them!How awesome is this? The video projection art on the Lee monument at Marcus-David Peters Circle is the freaking cover of National Geographic Magazine. Amazing.I’m just going to quote this headline from Gregory J. Gilligan at the RTD: “WATCH NOW: Customers wait in long lines to buy fried chicken, potato wedges and breakfast pizza at newly opened Ukrop’s Market Hall.” To quote Marc Cheatham, Richmond! We are who we are!At some point today in Richmond, Governor Terry McAuliffe will announce that he’s running for governor…again. Dislike. Is now, literally right now, the time to have another old white guy rise up out of the past to overshadow the great, Black women who’ve been running this race for months? Sigh. Expect to see Mayor Stoney at this announcement, as the two men have a pretty tight relationship.I’m going to keep reminding you: Please, if you haven’t already, email City Council in support of Richmond 300. Council will vote this coming Monday, December 14th, and the plan could use your public support. You can find all of the councilfolk and the liaison email addresses here.This morning’s longreadThe Swiss Cheese Model of Pandemic DefenseI love this visual! If there’s anything people can understand it’s stacking up layers of Swiss cheese until you have a single, delicious block of Swiss.Take masks as one example of a layer. Any mask will reduce the risk that you will unknowingly infect those around you, or that you will inhale enough virus to become infected. But it will be less effective at protecting you and others if it doesn’t fit well, if you wear it below your nose, if it’s only a single piece of cloth, if the cloth is a loose weave, if it has an unfiltered valve, if you don’t dispose of it properly, if you don’t wash it, or if you don’t sanitize your hands after you touch it. Each of these are examples of a hole. And that’s in just one layer. To be as safe as possible, and to keep those around you safe, it’s important to use more slices to prevent those volatile holes from aligning and letting virus through.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Today we have a new Patreon-powered shout-out. The Local Energy Alliance Program wants you to consider a Home Energy Check-Up as the first step toward lowering your energy bills. For a $45 consultation, Albemarle and Charlottesville residents can have their homes audited to see what can be done to reduce energy consumption. Sign up today!”*Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has given his first press conference since he and his wife were diagnosed with COVID-19.“We know that we have been very fortunate that our experience with this disease was mild,” Northam said. “Many other people have not been so lucky and our hearts continue to be with those who have lost loved ones.” As of this morning, there have been 3,381 COVID-19-related deaths in Virginia and over 200,000 nationwide. Northam said that none of his close contacts have been diagnosed with the disease. He attributed this to mask wearing and spoke to the importance of contact tracing. Dr. Danny Avula is the director of the Richmond City and Henrico County Health Districts. “The role of the local health department in every new case of COVID that we have, we follow up that case and we identify when was their onset of symptoms or when was the date of their positive test,” Avula said. Contact-tracers then interview the person to try to identify who they were around. “And we determine who actually met the definition of a close contact, so having spent 15 minutes or greater within six feet of somebody is the epidemiological definition of a close contact,” Avula said. Anyone who meets that definition is now considered to be exposed and they are asked to go into quarantine for 14 days. That’s the period when the virus can incubate in a person’s body. Avula said tracers tracked down 65 individuals across seven health districts who met the definition. None tested positive. *This morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports another 805 cases today, and reported 1,235 yesterday. The numbers of yesterday were made available later than usual due to a communications problem we’ll discuss more in a moment. The statewide seven-day average of positive tests increased to 4.6 percent. There have been 38 cases reported in the Blue Ridge Health District since Monday, with 19 new cases both today and yesterday. A recent spike in new cases has appeared to slow. The seven-day daily average for new cases is now at 8 in Albemarle and 12 in Charlottesville. The seven-day average of positive tests in the district is at 3.6 percent today. Last night the Greene County Board of Supervisors got an update from emergency services director Melissa Meador. That body had not met since September 22. “Our numbers in Greene County stand at 255 as of today,” Meador said. “When we met last met it was at 212 so we are up 43. 12 hospitalizaiton, up 2, and 3 COVID related  fatalities, no change there.”In all there have been 74 fatalities in the Blue Ridge Health District to date. The number of active cases at the University of Virginia is now at 95 people with 74 of those individuals being students. Yesterday, UVA officials announced they would loosen restrictions on gatherings from five people to ten people. They also said that all students living in dorms would be tested on a regular basis, or at least every nine days.Governor Northam said it is crucial to avoid complacency as the seasons change.“We are heading into the colder months and all of the outdoor socializing we’ve been able to do is getting harder,” Northam said. “People are going to be less likely to want to meet up outside when it’s 40 degrees or below.”Northam also announced yesterday that he has signed legislation recognizing Juneteenth as a state holiday. Legislation passed the General Assembly in the ongoing special session. *Now, about that fiber cut. A federal judge has extended the voter registration deadline in Virginia one day after the line was cut in Chester that served the online system. Several groups ranging from the New Virginia Majority Education Fund to the League of Women Voters filed a complaint asking for an extension, which required judicial action. Here’s judge John A. Gibney Jr.“I will order, as you requested, all registration may occur until 1159 p.m. on tomorrow, October the 15th,” Gibney said, just before thanking the attorneys for working together to allow more people to register.*Today is the first day of operations for the new Greene County Department of Emergency Medical Services. The Greene Board of Supervisors authorized the move in May after the University of Virginia opted to not renew a contract to provide the service for the county. Here’s Melissa Meador again.“All 14 full-time positions are filled and we have hired an additional 13 part-time employees,” Meador said. Supervisors praised Meador and her staff for putting together the department in such a short amount of time. “I went from a little bit of anger earlier this year when the contract was terminated, quickly to awe for what Ms. Meador and her new team has accomplished,” said Supervisor Bill Martin. *The Virginia Department of Health has issued a warning against eating fish caught in the Upper James River due to elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in tissue samples. This affects a stretch of river from headwaters at Iron Gate to Balcony Falls Dam near Glasgow. (press release) *Over 90 percent of the office space has been leased in the Dairy Central project according to an email from the firm Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer. In all, the Dairy Central will include 50,000 square feet of Class A office space and 180 upcoming apartments, as well as a food hall. Tenants for office space include the Costar Group and Virginia Humanities. “The Dairy Market targets an opening in late 2020 where Starr Hill brewery will anchor a 16-stall market hall featuring a talented roster of Virginia's leading purveyors, culinary talents and artisans,” the email reads. “Market Hall stalls are entirely subscribed with tenants including cult classics Moo Thru and Take it Away Sandwiches, The Milkman's Bar, and an exciting and diverse lineup of additional tenants.” Today in meetings, The Crozet Community Advisory Committee convenes virtually at 7 p.m. for a meeting that a discussion of a special use permit to amend previous approvals for the private Claudius Crozet Park to allow for a “Community Recreation Facility.” There will also be a presentation on the many projects the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is planning for the Crozet Area. The RWSA Board of Directors were given this presentation in late August. There’s a capital cost of about $41.5 million in projects to increase capacity and improve safety at Beaver Dam.

"M" is for Market Hall. Completed in 1841, Market Hall was one of several monumental buildings that arose along Meeting Street in Charleston during the 1830s and 1840s. Located at 188 Meeting Street, Market Hall occupies a narrow lot between North and South Market Streets that has been used as the public market since the late 18 th century. Built of brick covered with brown stucco, the two-story building is set on a rusticated base. A double flight of steps leads to a portico supported by Doric columns. Behind the building, sheds stretch toward the river, which originally provided space for food stalls. In the early 20 th century the United Daughters of the Confederacy used it for their Confederate Museum. Damaged by Hurricane Hugo, Market Hall underwent a multi-million dollar restoration that was completed in 2002.

On a truly breathtaking night in Shrewsbury where there was carol singing serenading the people, there were people enjoying their evening and the Market Hall was lit up beautifully.

Can Tho is the fourth largest city in Vietnam and the largest in the Mekong River Delta region. People that visit are here primarily for the boat cruises that take you to the world-famous floating markets. A confluence of boats that merge in various locations of the river for trade of mostly fresh fruit and produce. For this trip I hired a boat for about $14 dollars that will take me on an approximate 3.5 hour tour on the Hua River, a tributary of the Mekong where I’ll see a wholesale floating market in action and visit a rice paper making village. After 45 minutes of passing by colorful vessels and regular river activity, including tourist boats heading in the opposite direction on their way to other floating markets we arrived at the Cai Rang wholesale market. Cruising at a slower speed by boats almost spilling over with pineapples and other fresh fruit and produce. Local buyers arrive to purchase goods from the farmers that bring their fruit and produce to Cai Rang and take it to the cities to sell to shops and other wholesalers. It’s important to hire a boat and leave the dock at Can Tho before 7am otherwise you’ll mostly just run in to other tour boats by the time you arrive. You can either book your boat in advance at your hotel or make a deal with one of the boat ladies hanging out at the dock on Hai Ba Trung. Typically a boat here will have a sample of whatever they’re selling attached to a long pole, so it’s easy to spot what you’re looking for from a distance on the water. This also saves the farmers or sellers from having to yell out what they’re selling like in a typical market. You’ll also have a chance to interact with boats pulling up and offering drinks and snacks. Can Tho was once part of the Khmer kingdom. There’s still a significant Khmer community noticable by the numerous Cambodian style Buddhist temples in the city. If you’ve just arrived from Ho Chi Minh City you’ll appreciate a slighter slower pace with a mix of wide streets and narrow lanes. The city has enough interesting sites and places to stroll to keep you engaged for at least a few days. I found it effortless to settle in and enjoy the even friendlier environment and the inexpensive delicious food and fruit of the region. The Khmer style temples of the region are Theraveda Buddhist unlike the Vietnamese type that are filled with Taoist Gods and Buddhist deities. A visit to Munirensay Pagoda will either immediately take you back to your days in Cambodia or inspire you to cross the border. There are plenty of lovely restaurants along the waterfront on Hai Ba Trung as well as a nightly market with plenty of cheap food stalls but don’t miss out on the great spots on De Tham, the street of food located on Hue Vien close by the Munirensay pagoda. Here you can find a huge selection of dishes whether you favor meat, fish, or vegetarian. Plus there’s bake shops that sell slabs of cake for less than 50 cents, and fruit stalls with jackfruit that’s as sweet as candy. There are lots of friendly streets to stroll and if you decide you want to take a rest and have a caphe da, or vietnamese iced coffee, just grab a plastic chair and have a seat. I like the fresh fruit juices cafes serve here as well. Head back to Hai Ba Trung walk along the river’s edge, check off another Ho Chi Minh statue you’ve seen on your trip and make your way to the prettiest temple in Can Tho, Ong Temple inside the Guangzhou Assembly Hall. Under all of the huge incense coils that lends to the temples magical atmosphere you’ll find Kuang Kung or Guan Yu, right in the center. The God of war Kuang Kung symbolizes truth, justice, and courage among other qualities. Kuang Kung is the main deity worshipped at the temple. Development and modernization is spreading across Vietnam including Can Tho but there’s still remnants from the past including the Ninh Kieu Pier Tourist Market and it’s Market Hall dating back to 1913. Inside you’ll find trinkets and clothes, souvenirs, and a restaurant/cafe with lovely river views. Meanwhile back on the floating market tour we traveled up one of the quieter pretty canals to visit a rice paper making village. As touristy as some of this activity may seem you’d kick yourself if you didn’t hire a boat and visit a floating market while staying in Can Tho or the Mekong Delta region. The feeling of cruising up and down the river amidst this unique way of trade is an extremely rewarding adventure. There are longer river trips and more temples and sites to see around Can Tho. However it’s the slower pace, obvious relaxed feel of the city and it’s people as well as the transcendental experience of the Mekong River system that is the bigger take away. It’s a reminder that as much as the country is changing it’s the old ways and pace of life that reflects the true beauty of Vietnam. Donate now and help support the Far East Adventure Travel Podcast.

Since graduating from Trent University in 1980 with a degree in Cultural Studies, Bill Kimball has been involved in many aspects of the Peterborough arts community, particularly in the areas of contemporary dance and theatre.  He has contributed to the creation of live performance spaces in Peterborough, beginning with City Stage, a performance space operated by Artspace in the early 1980’s and continuing to the present with various renovations and improvements to the Market Hall. In 1994, Bill created a nationally recognized dance presenting program called Peterborough New Dance, and later expanded the mandate to theatre and other forms of performance while changing the name to Public Energy, a name which reflects his desire for the arts to be integrated into public life as much as possible. Bill is currently the Artistic Producer at Public Energy.Our interview with Bill covers the "Town and Gown" history of the arts, in particular the impact of Artspace, Peterborough New Dance, Public Energy, and the Electric City Culture Council.

Transcript -- A description of the building and atmosphere at Valencia's Market Hall, El Mercado Central.

A CBC “Off the Beaten Track” episode in which I talk about Showboat and the history of the song Old Man River. Originally aired on August 20, 2000 on CBC Radio’s Mainstreet program in Prince Edward Island. Ol’ Man River Introduction: A brief history of the song “Ol’ Man River,” along with two very different interpretations by Canadian artists Curtis Driedger and Jane Siberry. Show Boat In 1926, a book called “Show Boat” by Edna Ferber was published – she was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan who had won the Pulitzer Prize in 1924 for her book So Big. Show Boat follows the life of Magnolia, daughter of the captain of the riverboat The Cotton Blossom. Magnolia marries a gambler, Gaylord Ravenal. As a result of his gambling, they separate Magnolia moves to Chicago where she takes up life in musical comedy. Their daughter follows her mother into show business, and eventually Magnolia and Gaylord are reunited years later at a performance of their now internationally famous daughter. Woven throughout this plot is the sub-plot concerning the lives of the black workers on the riverboats, and marriage of Magnolia’s best friend Julie La Verne and her husband, which runs afoul of the law because it is discovered that Julie is of mixed black and white heritage, and this is against the law. In 1927, collaborators Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II adapted the book into a Broadway show. Show Boat the musical was groundbreaking when it premiered in 1927, as musicals up to that point hadn’t had a coherent plot or songs tied to the action. Show Boat is said in many circles to mark the beginning of American musical theatre. Show Boat originally played Broadway in 1927, was adapted into a movie in 1936 and again in 1951, and was revived on Broadway in 1946, and several times thereafter, most famously in recent years in 1994 by Garth Drabinsky. Ol’ Man River The song Ol’ Man River is sung by Joe, one of the riverboat workers, several times throughout the musical. Edna Ferber said in her autobiography: “…Jerome Kern appeared at my apartment late one afternoon with a strange look of quiet exultation in his eyes. He sat down at the piano. He didn’t play the piano particularly well and his singing voice, though true, was negligible. He played and sang ‘Ol’ Man River.’ The music mounted, mounted, and I give you my word my hair stood on end, the tears came to my eyes, I breathed like a heroine in a melodrama. This was great music. This was music that would outlast Jerome Kern’s day and mine. I have never heard it since without that emotional surge. When SHOW BOAT was revived at the Casino Theater in New York just four years after its original production at the Ziegfeld I saw a New York first-night audience, after Paul Robeson’s singing of ‘Ol’ Man River,’ shout and cheer and behave generally as I’ve never seen an audience behave in any theater in all my years of playgoing…” The song is most closely associated with Paul Robeson, who played Joe in the Broadway production of Show Boat and in the 1936 movie. In the original 1927 lyrics, it’s written: I gits weary and sick of tryin’; I’m tired of livin’ and scared of dyin’ And Ol’ man river, he just keeps rollin’ along. Robeson later revised the lyrics to: I keeps laffin’ instead of cryin’ I must keep fightin’ until I’m dyin’ And Ol’ man river, he just keeps rollin’ along. Roberson, who had been a football star and then an actor, went on to a life as a political activist. Canadian Singers on Ol’ Man River Back on June 1, 1990, I was program director at Trent Radio, a community radio station in Peterborough, Ontario. We organized an evening of performances by local musicians at the Market Hall in downtown Peterborough. One of the performers was Curtis Driedger, formerly of the infamous Toronto band the CeeDees. Here’s some of his performance from that night, recorded live and originally broadcast on Trent Radio… [clip from “Curtis Dreidger live at Artspace”, recorded June 1, 1990; on cassette tape, queued] Toronto singer/songwriter Jane Siberry, who has, in recent years, been running her musical career largely through her own Sheeba Records website – www.sheeba.ca — is about to release an album of Celtic and American spirituals called “Hush.” From that album, here is her own rendition of “Ol’ Man River,” which you will immediately see is quite different from Curtis’ [clip from “Hush” by Jane Siberry, track 9]
