FOOD & DRINK // BREWMASTER
BY STEVE LONSWAY
Many know that a nice red wine can be
cellared for years and the flavor profile can
be drastically developed over time, ending
up with a whole new libation. Some wines
you don’t even want to drink for years after
purchase because how “young” it may taste.
There is even an uptick in start-up compa-
nies that specialize in wine cellar construc-
tion and many homeowners are adding one
in that unused basement corner. If you are
in the planning process of building a wine
cellar, don’t forget to add shelves for aging
beers as well. That’s right! Certain beers
can (or should) be aged before consuming.
A big Barley Wine, a thick and rich Scotch
Ale or maybe an Imperial Stout aged in
a bourbon barrel. Certain beers just get
better with age. That is our theory in the
beer the Stone Arch Brewery team chose to
review for you this month. Brewery owner
Steve Lonsway has a very modest, almost
basic, collection of age-able beers and the
one chosen for this article was a 2011
bomber bottle of Alaskan Smoked Porter.
The label depicts what to us is a perfect
image of the Alaskan wild; a caribou trio
descending down a hill with the sun setting
to darkness behind them. “Smoked” is
clearly evident near the top of the label in
a firey orange tone with “Porter” reversed
out in white. A very attractive label that
clearly sets the tone for this beer.
The Stone Arch Brewery team let the
bottles warm a bit before pouring samples
into brandy snifter style glasses. The head
produced at the pour was a bit light. The
foam color definitely shows off the dark-
ness of the brew. Once in the glass, it is a
pleasure to hold it up to the light and enjoy
the ruby red-brown hues and the brown
foam lacing.
The nose this beer brings is quite awe-
some. Burnt wood, campfire, oaky, malty
sweet, whiskey, peat, chocolate, earthy,
burnt caramel, coffee, nutty and of course,
smokey. It is a very aromatic beer.
The flavors this brew offers are identical
to the scents we described above with a very
pleasing creaminess on the palate. A few
flavors popped out that weren’t necessarily
evident in the nose. Dark/bitter chocolate
being the most common descriptor noted
amongst the tasting team. The smoke
flavor was a bit tamed from the aging pro-
cess, maybe even a bit too much. It was
suggested that this beer may have peaked a
year prior and, for the future, it was noted
to not age the Alaskan Smoked Porter past
4 years, at least in the conditions we had
it which was cold and medium-dark. A
bit of oxidation was present but not over-
powering. On a positive note, the aging
process made the complexity of the beer
very multi-dimensional.
A very pleasing dryness awaits and the
smokiness lingers to perfection well after
our samples went dry.
This beer compliments several dishes.
This is known from years of trials and
experiences. Anything grilled is a perfect
match, especially beef. Other great pair-
ings that deserve a try are Schnitzel, beef
stroganoff, bleu cheese and seafood. For
desert-type items expect a glorious contin-
uation of flavor when consuming alongside
vanilla ice cream, a variety of chocolates,
and cheesecakes. Don’t be afraid to nibble
a few fruits as well. And if feeling truly
adventurous, use the Alaskan Smoked
Porter in sauces for your next chicken
breast creation.
The key factor in this fine libation is the
smoked malts. They carefully smoke small
batches of selected malts in a commercial
food smoker using local alder wood. The
flavor that results is very unique and
extremely well done.

Alaskan Brewing Company was
founded in Juneau, Alaska in 1986. At
the time they were the 67th brewery in
the United States and the first in Juneau
since prohibition. The founding mem-
bers brought the skills of accounting,
bush piloting, chemical engineering and
homebrewing to the table and turned
their brewery into one of the most award-
wining brewery in the history of the Great
American Beer Festival. They are currently
available through distribution networks
to 17 states, with Wisconsin (fortunately)
being one of them. The Alaskan Smoked
Porter is an annually release and you can
expect it to be released in early November.
FINAL WORD: One of my top ten
favorite beers.

ENTERTAINMENT // BURNING COW MUSIC FESTIVAL
BY TAYLOR HALE
Wisconsinites looking for summer fun
won’t have to drive all the way to Burning
Man in Nevada to see a gigantic, wooden
effigy burned to ashes. Burning Cow
Music Festival, held in Door County, is
Wisconsin’s very own rendition of the
sculpture torching night of music and art.
The three-day camping and music festival,
which starts July 21, will end with a cli-
mactic burning of a 25-foot tall wooden
cow.
Maxwell Wilkinson, Burning Cow
Music Festival Event Coordinator, is
excited about this year’s entertainment.
“It’s the largest bonfire in Northeast
Wisconsin, so I think that is part of the
attraction.,” Wilkinson said. “You know,
we bring these
b l u e s a n d
southern rock
bands up to
Door County
from across
the nation.
They are high
energy, foot
s t o m p i n g
bands steeped
in tradition,
playing riff
laden music
with growling
lyrics. These
bands play for
the truth of
the music, not
a corporate
record label.”
Wilkinson
is one of the
planners that helped the festival find it’s
footing in early 2015. Now in its second
year, the festival is running stronger than
ever.
“This is only our second year, and last
year we had a few hundred guests there
to witness the Burn. We are realistically
hoping to get about 1,000 people,” said
Wilkinson. “Maybe more.”
And the festival staff plans to
accommodate the expected growth by
giving guests more of what they want -
great music and great food.
“Returning from last year is Anthony
Gomes, and we are delighted that he could
fit us into his schedule. Not only can this
man sing, and play incredible blues, he
actually wrote the book on the cultural
evolution of blues music for his master’s
thesis,” Wilkinson said. “T Bacon’s BBQ
will be on site all weekend, too. Chef Tom
Bacon has won a number of awards for
his barbecue sauces and pulled pork. Also,
Door County Brewing Company will be
setting us up with an assortment of their
fine craft brews.”
The sonic boundaries of blues and
rock are sure to be pushed to the limit
at Burning Cow. Bands from all over the
country are coming to rock the stage at
the festival. Bands hailing from Georgia,
Washington, and Missouri are coming to
experience a cathartic night of music, art,
and community. Fans and bands alike have
been gearing up for the start of the festival.
“I still get text messages from some
of the tour managers and band members,
just checking in to see how the festival is
coming together. I think they just want to
come back,” Wilkinson joked.
But it isn’t all fun and games.
“Seeing a festival through from
conception to completion is really a
whirlwind experience for me,” Wilkinson
said “it encompasses every emotion. It’s
hard to describe the feeling you get when
people come up to you to thank you for
making it all happen.”
The hard work and dedication that the
event coordinators and planners put into
Burning Cow is truly breath-taking. It is a
job that requires passion and enthusiasm.
An event coordinator has to enjoy creating
moments that will capture people’s
imaginations.
“As much fun as everyone has at
Burning Cow, I have more fun than anyone
because I’m helping to create something
that will last in people’s memories forever,”
Wilkinson said.
Wilkinson’s mission is to bring new
and fresh music to the Wisconsin area.
“We are introducing Door County to
a whole new group of talented artists,”
he said “that’s why I love this festival. We
bring in bands that most people have never
heard of, but who are really talented and
entertaining. I’m eager to hear what the
crowd has to say about the talent this year.
I’m excited for literally every band on the
lineup. They are all amazing.”
After the music on July 23, the
ceremonial igniting of the 25-foot by
18-foot wooden cow will burn while
attendees watch the flames hypnotically
leap into the night sky as the structure
turns to ash. It’s sure to be a great way to
end the three-day long festival of music,
food, and camping.
“Everybody loves a good bonfire in the
summer,” Wilkinson laughed.

ENTERTAINMENT // ATTIC THEATRE
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Back in 1950, aspiring actors would
come to the actual attic in the Cloak
Family home on North Union Street in
Appleton, Wisconsin to take acting lessons
from Zoe Cloak. Since then the Attic
Theater has presented hundreds of perfor-
mances in venues from church basements
to Lawrence University, and UW Fox
Valley Communication Arts Center.
Stacy Parish auditioned for her first
show at the Attic in 2014, and last fall she
was elected to the board, and is now part
of the marketing arm of the theater and its
performances.
“We are a homegrown non-profit com-
munity theater,” Parish said “who last year
made the decision to, instead of doing a
large production musical, would do three
straight plays. There is a lot of competi-
tion for theatergoer’s attention and dollars,
and this is a way to save some money.”
The majority of the people who
audition for Attic productions
are not professional actors.
“Very hard to make
a living, acting,” Parish
said. “But this is such
a great way to see and
enjoy quality enter-
tainment, without
paying an exorbitant
amount of money. If
you bought our season
package, it’s less costly
than one show at the PAC.”
Mid July the Attic will present
Gore Vidal’s Tony Award winning, “The
Best Man,” directed by Nancy Ernst.
THE STORY: William Russell, the ex-
Secretary of State, is a wit and scholar with
high liberal principles, beloved of the eggheads
and suspected by practical politicians. Joseph
Cantwell is a ruthless and hard-driving
young man, a dirty fighter who will let no
scruples stand in the way of his ambitions.
And Arthur Hockstader is an ex-President,
who loves politics for their own sake, admires
a rough-and-tumble battler more than a
chivalrous one, and is determined to have the
final say in the selection of his party’s candi-
date...All of this provides the framework for
some vivid and interesting scenes in which
Mr. Vidal contrasts the minds, emotions and
fighting spirits of the two candidates.
“It is somewhat reminiscent of ‘Ides of
March,’ or ‘House of Cards,’ in that the
main characters are political candidates
vying for the same nomination, and a peek
behind the scenes,” Parish said “sort of
an uncanny resemblance to what’s going
on politically in real life today. There is a
wonderful ensemble cast, and our direc-
tor, Nancy Ernst, who has been around
for decades is really talented. She used to
teach theater at Neenah High School, she’s
been acting since I can’t remember when,
having done both stage and film.”
When: July 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22 @
7:00pm, July 17 @ 2pm.
Where: Perry Hall Theatre, UW Fox
Valley Campus, Menasha
At the end of the month you’ll enjoy
“Music in the Attic: A Swellegant
Evening of Cole Porter,” under
the direction of Carol Jegen.
“Carol has been teaching voice forever,”
Parish said “she was also on the Attic board
for many years, and a performer.”
American composer Cole Porter’s cred-
its include the musical “Kiss Me, Kate,”
which won him a Tony for Best Musical,
plus “Anything Goes,” “Can-Can,” and
many more. His numerous songs include
“Begin the Beguine,” “I Get a Kick Out of
You,” “You’re the Top,” “Don’t Fence Me
In,” and on and on.
“What’s exciting about the night of
Cole Porter music is that it’s something
we’ve never done before,” Parish said “we’re
doing it as a fundraiser. Hoping to bring
the musical back without the high cost.
We’ll be in the black box Baehman The-
ater, set up with cabaret style seating and
atmosphere. The pianist will be recalling
the history of Cole Porter while the per-
formers sing the incredible music. There
a lot of talented people in this area, and
not many places do a cabaret setting like
we’re doing, so we’re very excited about
the shows. Our mission statement sums it
up; to create excellent community theatre
through performances, education and
community outreach.”
The Attic Theatre will be presenting
four concerts, July 27-30 at 8pm in the
Lucia Baehman Theater located in the
Communication Arts building on the UW
Fox Valley Campus.
Audience members will indulge in an
evening of fine wine, food and song as
talented performers from around the area
will come together to showcase the unfor-
gettable songbook of Cole Porter.
Seating for this event
is limited. Ticket cost
for this limited seating
event is $25/person.

ENTERTAINMENT // 8TH ANNUAL SYMCO HOTROD
BY TAYLOR HALE
Nostalgia and memories of good times,
good vibes, and fast cars will be abundant
August 12-13 at the 8th Annual Symco
Hotrod & Kustoms Weekender event held
in Symco, WI. The event grounds have a
camping area, music stages, and multiple
lots of classic vehicles.
For John Spence, event coordinator,
and car enthusiast, hearing the echo of vin-
tage hotrod engines purring out into the
warm Wisconsin air is a sound of delight.
“People have fond memories of vehicles
from their past,” Spence said “whether it
was theirs, their parents’, grandparents’, or
friends’, they love to reminisce when seeing
the cars. Some come to look at cars they’ve
never seen before, and we like watching the
next generation learn about them.”
Spence is a man with a dedication to
the preservation of vintage cars, bikes, and
other mobile vehicles. He helped set the
strict show car registration criteria to make
sure that guests would get the real deal
when it comes to cars, bikes, and custom
vehicles. The stiff regulations ensure that
the entries are authentic.
The show also has a new V.I.P. parking
section for newer custom cars that may not
meet the strict criteria of the traditional car
section.
“We’re expanding our V.I.P. parking
for cars that don’t qualify, so we’re hoping
our turnout will be even bigger this year,”
Spence said.
But great cars and bikes are not all that
the show offers.
“We’re bringing back our pin-up girl
contest by popular demand,” Spence said
“and we’ll also be introducing a burnout pit
this year. We have also been improving on
some of the regular events, such as the mini
bike drag races and music stages. It’s been
a group effort. We also have several new
bands making their first appearances at the
show this year, including Hillbilly Hellcats
along with a few from our past, including
Hillbilly Casino. The bands we’ve chosen
are crowd favorites that we’ll be gathering
for one great weekend.”
There will even be a pinstriping team
and artists on the grounds so guests can
customize their vehicles. But, cars won’t
be the only thing getting pampered and
dolled up at the show.
“Makeup and hair experts along with a
barber will be there to keep guests looking
their best,” Spence said.
The show also has a swap meet area for
builders and mechanics to find parts, plus
vendors selling everything from clothing to
antiques. No matter what you are looking
for, chances are you will find it.
Symco is also about community and
bringing people together.
“When you meet new people at this
show, you’ve shared a bond, and you carry
that home with you,” Spence said. “Many
friendships have been made by just asking
someone about their car, and those people
all come back for a reunion every year, and
of course, social media keeps those connec-
tions alive.”
Whether you’re a newcomer or a long-
time attendee, the show is sure to make you
feel welcome and engaged. Even the loca-
tion of the car show has a vintage aesthetic.
One of the buildings on the grounds, The
Unionville Saloon, was built in 1896. The
site also boasts a collection of some of the
largest Fairbanks-Morse engines still in
operation. It is a truly perfect environment
for the Symco Hotrod & Kustoms Week-
ender.
“The old buildings and setting are a
perfect backdrop for this show,” Spense
said. “We have a vintage camping section
that falls right into place with the grounds
as well. The friendly faces, pin-up girls, and
traditional cars add to the whole picture.
You really feel like you are in another time
frame when you walk through.”

ENTERTAINMENT // CONCERT WATCH
BY JANE SPIETZ
San Francisco’s Third Eye Blind is an
alternative rock band that rose to fame in
the ‘90s. They continue to tour widely and
have an enthusiastic fan base.
Their best known tunes include “Never
Let You Go,” “Jumper,” “Semi-Charmed
Life,” “How’s It Going to Be,” and “Deep
Inside of You.” The band’s first album,
Third Eye Blind (1997) went platinum 6
times and their 1999 release Blue hit single
platinum. Third Eye Blind’s most current
release, Dopamine (2015), reached number
1 on the U.S. Independent Albums chart.
There is word of an EP being released
in 2016.
Band members of Third Eye Blind
are Stephan Jenkins (lead vocals/rhythm
guitar), Brad Hargreaves (drums/percus-
sion), Kryz Reid (lead guitar/backing
vocals), Alex Kopp (keyboards/piano), and
Alex LeCavalier (bass).
They’ll be headlining on opening night
at EAA AirVenture 2016 in Oshkosh, Wis-
consin on Monday, July 25.
Recently I connected with Dublin-
born lead guitarist Kryz Reid.
Jane Spietz: Hi Kryz. What inspired
you to become a musician? I’ve read that
Prince was a major influence.
Kryz Reid: THE biggest influence.
Actually, the first time I saw Prince on TV I
was 10 and became entirely obsessed. I was
born in Dublin and grew up in Ireland.
Seeing Prince on TV was a rare occurrence.
So I saw these glimpses really. My family
wasn’t well off, so I would save my pocket
money and buy a Prince record whenever
I had enough. I was given Purple Rain on
cassette for Christmas. When I saw the
bit that said “Also available by:” I made a
decision to buy every album he’d put out
previously. So I was playing catch up. But
it was mind blowing material to me, it
really was. Still is.
JS: What was your reaction when you
heard of Prince’s death?
KR: When I heard that Bowie died,
it hit me in the gut, it really did. When I
heard that Prince died,
I honestly went numb.
For like four days. I
didn’t have a reaction; I
just couldn’t fathom it
at all. Then I just played
every album back to
back. Took a whole day,
and I was sobbing. All
those songs, those mem-
ories, and what it meant
to me growing up. I
shook his hand once, at
an ‘aftershow’ he did in
Dublin. Majesty.
JS: You have named
all of your guitars
after Star Wars char-
acters from the Dark
Side. That is so cool!
KR: My guitars are like my children to
me. My best mate in Dublin used to tell
me that the only thing he found odd about
me is my connection to inanimate objects.
So it’s not odd to me that I’ve given all
my guitars names. The fact that they are
named after Star Wars characters isn’t
surprising really. I grew up obsessed with
Prince, Woody Allen, and Star Wars. And
Nomiya Maki, but that’s another story. My
number one Les Paul is a ‘58 RI R8 that I
named BB-8. It’s funny, but everyone on
the entire crew knows BB-8 and calls him
by name. If we’re going to be in the studio,
my tech Joseph will say “You want to bring
BB-8?”
JS: The band made quite the headlines
recently after Stephan and Brad rescued
four teenagers from a rip current off the
North Carolina coast. I thought it was
great how all of the members of Third Eye
Blind were made honorary members of the
Carolina Beach Ocean Rescue Members as
the band was recognized as a team.
KR: Well...we were doing a photo shoot
in the ocean. So we had our photographer
Danny on the beach, the whole band in
the ocean, and our handler Luke kinda
midway. We heard these kids calling out
for help, but they seemed fine. I thought
it was a bit odd that they were asking for
help. They were clearly swimming. But
Stephan and Brad are experienced surfers
and they knew some shit about a rip tide
under current or something. So they asked
the kids if they needed help. The kids said
they couldn’t swim to shore. So Stephan
and Brad swam over to them, asked them
to get onto the surf boards, and pushed
them to shore. The joke is that meanwhile
I was drowning, ha-ha-hah. I’m by no
means used to being on a surf board.
JS: Third Eye Blind’s fifth and latest
album, Dopamine, was very well-received.
What is your favorite song from it and
why?
KR: I don’t have a favorite. People
always ask that. The songs are so different.
Like apples and extremely different apples.
I love them all, like little munchkins run-
ning amok gleefully.
JS: I’d love to hear about the new EP
that is in the works.
KR: It’s happening! I’d love to spill the
beans on it, but Stephan has me sworn to
secrecy.
JS: The band made a surprise appear-
ance at Coachella in June. What was that
like?
KR: That was just Stephan and our
handler Luke. We had just come off tour.
Stephan texted something about Coachella
and I was like, “Right on!” I saw the foot-
age of it afterwards, looked fab. And I’m
100% sure that our handler Luke was out
of his mind the whole time.
JS: I saw a great video of Stephan
crowd surfing at Bonnaroo this year! It
seems like you guys really like to have fun
with your fans.
KR: Bonnaroo was so much fun! Our
fans are kick ass. If you saw the stage dive,
then I’m assuming you saw the insane
amount of people that rocked that tent for
us. Epic.
JS: Third Eye Blind will be headlining
at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh on open-
ing night. It’s a great event. Are any of you
airplane buffs?
KR: We’re all kinda nuts about airline
travel, haha, cause we do it so much. I
think I’m the only member of the group
who’s ever flown a plane. Other than that,
Brad and I own drones. He’s a pedestrian
about it, but I’m a full on drone nut.
JS: What does Third Eye Blind have in
store for us at your Oshkosh concert?
KR: Something old, something new,
something borrowed and something from
Blue.
JS: Kryz, thank you so much for your
time.
KR: Yes! Thank you so much.

ENTERTAINMENT // E.A.A.
BY GEORGE HALAS
The E.A.A. Air Venture Oshkosh
2016 July 25th through the 31st, “brings
airplanes and people together like no other
place in the world.”
The 64th annual Experimental Aircraft
Association fly-in convention, the “World’s
Greatest Aviation Celebration,” will take
place at Wittman Regional Airport in
Oshkosh.
“This is a mix of history and innova-
tion,” said E.A.A. Communications Direc-
tor Dick Knapinski. “This is more than just
an air show, it’s a phenomenon. No place
has the same feel. This is the biggest one.
This is THE place.”
Some of the history this year includes
Boeing’s 100th anniversary, the 75th anni-
versary of Pearl Harbor and the 25th for
Desert Storm.
The 100th anniversary of The Boeing
Company, the world’s largest commercial
and military aircraft company, will bring
a unique collection of airplanes and
presentations. Many of the airplanes will
be displayed on EAA AirVenture’s main
showcase ramp, which has been dubbed
“Boeing Centennial Plaza” for this year’s
event. Those aircraft include current com-
mercial and military aircraft as well as his-
toric Boeing airplanes from the company’s
first 100 years.
“Boeing aircraft have touched nearly
every part of civilian and military aviation
history over the past 100 years, so we’ll
rightly celebrate that century of innovation
at Oshkosh this year,” said Rick Larsen,
EAA’s vice president of communities and
member programs who coordinates fea-
tures and attractions at AirVenture. “From
vintage biplanes to huge jumbo jets, at
AirVenture you’ll see how Boeing shaped
the world of flight.”
Among some of the highlights during
AirVenture week will be the arrival and
display of a Cathay Pacific 747-8 freighter
on Saturday, July 30th, which has been
named “Boeing Day” at E.A.A.. There will
be other historic Boeing aircraft, such as
the B-17 “Flying Fortress” and the B-29
“Superfortress.” Prior to the night air show
on July 30, Boeing historians and officials
will also present highlights from a century
of Boeing aircraft production during a
Theater in the Woods program.
“For 100 years Boeing has been the
leader in the aviation industry,” said Sherry
Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight
Services. “As we start our second century,
we look forward to celebrating our centen-
nial at EAA AirVenture with our
customers and aviation enthusiasts.”
Along with the July 30 festivi-
ties, an Alaska Airlines 737-800 will
be in Oshkosh on Wednesday, July
27, to participate in WomenVenture
Day at Oshkosh, of which Boeing is
the presenting sponsor. The airliner
will be flown by an all-female crew
and bring more than 100 female
Alaska Airlines employees to be a
part of WomenVenture activities,
which highlight the possibilities
to increase the number of women
in the aviation industry. Also that
day, FedEx will showcase a Boeing 767
freighter.
A major gathering of Stearman biplanes
built in the 1930s and 1940s is also sched-
uled during EAA AirVenture 2016. These
airplanes are a major part of the Boeing
legacy and will be displayed in both the
vintage and warbirds aircraft areas. The
Stearmans were among the most popular
primary training aircraft for military pilots
during the World War II era.
This year’s AirVenture expands to
include Lake Winnebago as the Martin
Mars, the world’s largest flying boat, will
land and be displayed there.
The aircraft of Operation Desert
Storm/Desert Shield, which formed one of
the largest air power operations in history,
will return to AirVenture for a look back
25 years after this massive undertaking.
The commemoration this year will feature
many of the aircraft that were highlighted
at the 1991 EAA Fly-In Convention,
which attracted many of
the aircraft used during
Operation Desert Storm.
In addition, military
commanders of that
operation will recall their
experiences during that
multi-national operation,
which began after Iraq’s
1990 invasion of Kuwait.
The aircraft already confirmed for
this year’s AirVenture gathering include
fighter jets such as the F-15 Eagle, F-16
Falcon, A-10 Warthog, and F-18 Hornet.
It also includes such support aircraft as
the KC-135, EA-6B, and C-5M. Many of
the aircraft used during those operations
remains valuable assets for the U.S. military
today. In addition, the Air Combat Com-
mand F-16 Viper Demonstration Team
will fly as part of the afternoon air shows
on Friday through Sunday, July 29-31.
On Friday, July 29, Gen. Chuck
Horner – who commanded U.S. and
Allied air operations in Desert Storm and
Desert Shield – will be the guest of honor
at an evening “Salute to Veterans” Day
program at Theater in the Woods. Gen.
Horner will be joined by Gen. Gilmary
Hostage, who flew combat missions during
Desert Storm.
“The planning, coordination and
execution of what amounted to more than
100,000 sorties in a 43-day period during
Desert Storm was a historical achievement
in military aviation history,” Larsen said.
“We are proud to welcome the soldiers,
aviators, and aircraft of that operation to
Oshkosh for a remembrance a quarter-
century later.”
Award-winning swing band Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy joins the marquee musical
lineup that also includes Third Eye Blind,
Survivor and Ladies Who Swing as the
grand finale of a daylong salute to veterans
on Friday, July 29.
One of the nation’s most prolific and
energetic bands, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
will take to the stage on AirVenture’s
main showcase square for an evening
performance hosted by EAA Warbirds of
America and Disabled American Veterans.
“Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s music is
the perfect finale to a full day of events
that will honor American veterans and
active duty personnel at AirVenture 2016,”
Larsen said. “The band’s music not only
evokes memories of the original swing
era, but their enthusiastic following also
bridges generations, just like the activities
at Oshkosh.”
“The DAV is thrilled to bring our
message of service to America’s veterans
and their families to this year’s air show
at Oshkosh,” said DAV National Com-
mander Moses A. McIntosh Jr. “Sponsor-
ing such a talented band is our way of
thanking the patriotic citizens who attend
events like these in their unwavering sup-
port of honoring the men and women who
served.”

ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ
What becomes a semi-legend almost?
Eight albums, plus a handful of singles
and compilation appearances in three
decades, Chicago’s Green may be the best
band you never heard of.
Well you had your chance.
You might even get another chance.
On June 18th, Green performed at
Wire in Berwyn, Illinois and aside from
receding hairlines and greying manes they
pretty much nailed it. Like always. Soar-
ing harmonies, big pop hooks, charging
rhythms, minor key bridges, hell even a
between-sets DJ playing crappy music.
Frontman/songwriter/guitarist Jeff
Lescher has led this band through line-up
changes, major label flirtations, European
festivals, recording sessions in French
castles and most recently, opening for The
Zombies.
Following an opening set by Material
Reissue (the retitled Material Issue in a nod
to the late Jim Ellison), Green took the stage
at Wire and blasted through fifteen songs
that ranged from ragged, pure pop (“She’s
Heaven”), to hyper-charged (“Gotta Get a
Record Out”) to soft balladry (“Monique,
Monique”) to psychedelic (“Tonight”).
With vocal support from longtime
bassist Clay Tomasek and guitarist Jason
Mosher, Green ably hinted at their influ-
ences from the Beatles (Hamburg to
Rubber Soul), the Beach Boys and the
Kinks, with subtle nudges toward soul
and metal. Drummer Mike Zelenko, who
played a double header behind the kit with
Material Reissue as well, seemingly ended
the night with as much energy as when he
started.
Unabashed keepers of the flame of
obscurantist rockism, the band released
a 45 called REM in 1988, to counter the
famous Athens, GA band’s LP Green, in
the same spirit Nick Lowe released an EP
called Bowi to counter the Thin White
Duke’s LP Low. (Or the Rumour’s LP Max,
if you really wanna head down that rabbit
hole). Lescher even recorded his own trib-
ute album to Gram Parsons (with Eleventh
Dream Day’s Janet Beveridge Bean taking
the Emmylou Harris role.)
Yet, it has been Lescher’s romanticism...
be it art, classical music or the opposite sex
that offers up an endless well of inspira-
tion. From the carnal to the divine, he has
never denied that three chords cranked up
good and loud coupled with the right lyrics
can be something bigger.
He may be onto something.

ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
One of the musical highlights in a Wis-
consin summer full of them is the sched-
uled appearance of Steely Dan and Steve
Winwood at the BMO Harris Pavilion in
Milwaukee on July 16th.
The Inquisition suspects that there
are many upsides to being Donald Fagen
and Walter Becker; one is that after four
decades of critical acclaim and multi-
platinum albums including Grammy Best
Album-winning “Two Against Nature,”
the duo is positioned to record and tour
with their choice of the best players in the
world.
Exhibit A is tenor saxophonist Walt
Weiskopf, whose new album, “The Way
You Say It,” is receiving outstanding
reviews.
Fox Cities jazz aficionados may recall
Weiskopf from his outstanding contribu-
tions to former Big Band Reunion leader
and Lawrence University professor Bob
Levy’s breakthrough album, “Crossover,”
on Stellar Sound Productions that also
included John Harmon, Janet Planet, Tom
Washatka, Dane Richeson, Ken Schaphorst
and Matt Turner. Weiskopf played on four
cuts and contributed his own original com-
position, “Southwest Blues.”
“Walt is a great player who has been
influenced by all the great ones,” Levy said.
“It was a real kick playing with him. He’s
very easy-going and very giving. There is
no ego with Walt. He’s got a lot of confi-
dence but without ego.”
Weiskopf and his tenor sax will take the
stage with Steely Dan in Milwaukee. His
technical prowess and his team-play mind-
set have made him an excellent addition to
the band for the last 15 years.
“In 2002 I got a call for horn section
dates for (Steely Dan’s album) “Everything
Must Go” and subsequently was called to
play on the title tune,” Weiskopf recalls.
“The following January, Walter (Becker)
called me and asked me to tour with
the band that year and of course I said I
would be thrilled to do it. Since the ’03
tour, we’ve toured in ’06, ’07, ’08, ’09, ’11,
’13, ’14, and ’15 as well as this year. In
2010 and ’12, I toured with The Dukes of
September; a band led by Donald with Boz
Scaggs and Michael McDonald.”
He was also a key contributor to
Fagen’s solo albums, “Morph The Cat,”
and “Sunken Condos.”
“I love being a part of a great band
and Steely Dan is certainly all of that,”
Weiskopf said. “Playing with this band
since 2003 has been a great pleasure and
continues to be a hugely artistic, gratifying
and creative challenge.”
Weiskopf has sixteen albums of his own
to his credit; “The Way You Say It” is his
third release for Posi-Tone Records, follow-
ing the critically-acclaimed “Overdrive”
(2014) and “Open Road” (2015). Its
twelve cuts include nine Weiskopf originals
including the title tune. It features organ-
ist Brian Charette, Behn Gillece playing
vibraphone and drummer Steve Fidyk, all
of whom are beneficiaries of Weiskopf’s
generosity and respond with inspired play-
ing and solos that are superb complements
to his virtuosity and command of his
instrument.
The title composition is the closing
track on the album. Gillece sets the stage
for some of Weiskopf’s most heart-felt and
melodic playing augmented by Charette’s
understated support. Weiskopf did not
have to go very far for inspiration.
“The Way You Say It,” is dedicated to
my wife, Marcie,” he said. “She has the
most pleasing, inviting, tuneful speaking
voice I’ve ever heard and it always reminds
that it’s not what you play, it’s how you
play it and it’s not what you say, it’s the way
that you say it.”
The album opens with Weiskopf ’s
“Coffee and Scones,” an up-tempo valen-
tine to “two of my favorite things,” that
showcases each musician’s talents in solos
that are energetic and melodic, but never
forced and fit easily into the groove. The
subject matter is not just inspirational but
practical.
“I like a dark roast red eye and a blue-
berry scone – the blueberry gives me the
illusion that I am eating healthy – followed
by 90 minutes of practicing my horn on a
caffeine high.”
Another Weiskopf original “Separa-
tion,” follows, and the composer bookends
Charette’s precise yet beauti-
fully understated solo with
some of his best and most
inventive playing.
“For me personally, being
on the road apart from the
one you love for long periods
of time is the most challeng-
ing thing about being a musi-
cian,” Weiskopf said. “I am
so lucky the beautiful woman
I married understands my
career as a musician.”
On the flip side, Weis-
kopf ’s musical wanderings
have taken him to some fabu-
lous places.
“Inntoene, is a tip-of-the-
hat to one of the best international jazz
festivals anywhere,” he said. “I can’t wait
to get back to the beautiful town of Dier-
sbach, Austria, and play with these great
musicians.”
The band blends seamlessly at the
outset of “Dreamlining,” an examination
of “the best kind of dreaming – floating
effortlessly and swinging from the clouds
– the kind of dream that you wish would
last longer than it usually does” before
Weiskopf steps out and explores the lower
registers of his tenor and Charette eases
into yet another ear-pleasing solo.
Weiskopf’s technical mastery is off and
running with both speed and precision on
“Blues Combination,” inspired by John
Coltrane’s “Locomotion.” Intrigued by
Ray Charles’s take on the tune, Weiskopf
grooves effortlessly on “Candy.”
“I’ve wanted to try this one for years
and finally worked up my nerve,” Weis-
kopf said. “It was nice to have the beauty
of Brian’s organ to lean on throughout
this one. A quick, down and dirty vision
in D minor. ‘Envisioned’ follows. I love
hearing Behn bang those bars on the shout
chorus. When Charette solos, you can
almost see his fingers flying up and down
the keyboard.”
Homesickness for the cloudy skies of
Syracuse, NY, inspired “Invisible Sun,”
which is followed by “Manny Boy.”
“Never would I have believed a year
ago that I could feel so much love for a
dog,” Weiskopf said. “A year ago, Marcie
and I rescued Manny. He has shown me a
whole new side of myself.”
Weiskopf et al serve up creative takes
on Weather Report’s “Scarlett Woman,”
and Charlie Parker’s “Segment,” before
concluding with “The Way You Say It.”
“Segment, is the currently the Charlie
Parker tune that I am most obsessed with
and I hope Bird would’ve have understood
my compulsion to modulate up a half-
step,” he said. “I love Weather Report and
‘Scarlett Woman’ in particular. It turned
out to be a great vehicle for Steve to show-
case his grooviness.”

Inquisitors will be happy to know that:
1) Steely Dan wisely gets Weiskopf out in
front for a number of solos; and 2) Steve
Winwood’s voice, guitar and keyboard
playing are as good/better than ever, and
his band is nothing short of phenomenal.
Enjoy. Summer and the music.

ENTERTAINMENT // MICHAEL LEONHART
BY GEORGE HALAS
The Dan Who Knew Too Much Tour,
Steely Dan and Steve Winwood, makes a stop
at the BMO Harris Pavilion in Milwaukee on
July 16th.
After spending much of the time early in
their careers as the prototypical studio band,
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker resumed
touring as Steely Dan in the 1990’s. By that
time, the duo had accumulated enough
critical acclaim and platinum albums as well
as Grammy awards and nominations that,
as they had in the studio, they could put
together a band of some of the best musicians
in the world.
One of the early recruits was trumpet
player Michael Leonhart who had won a
Grammy of his own in 1992 as Best High
School Musician. He has been touring and
recording with Steely Dan for 20 years….as
has his sister, vocalist Carolyn Leonhart.
A friend of the Leonharts, Scott Barkham
helped facilitate the communication that
started while Michael was playing with saxo-
phonist Chris Potter who has played with
Steely Dan.
“I got a call to play and they said that
they were looking for new backup singers,”
Leonhart said. “They called us individually
and we auditioned. Four months later, they
called and hired me to play the tour and said
‘and we want your sister.’ It’s wonderful to
have Carolyn in the band. She and I get a
chance to hang out. We don’t have that much
time when we’re in New York and she has
always been one of my best friends.”
“The best thing about playing in Steely
Dan, “he added, “is that every night at some
point I get goosebumps. Great music and
great players. Donald and Walter are bril-
liant.”
In addition to his trumpet playing,
Leonhart has made significant contributions
to Steely Dan in the studio. He wrote horn
arrangements and played on the Grammy
Best Album-winning “Two Against Nature,”
including playing Wurlitzer on the title
track. He played trumpet and was credited
as a horn consultant on the follow-up album,
“Everything Must Go.” He co-produced,
co-wrote horn and vocal arrangements and
played a variety of instruments on Fagen’s
2012 solo release, “Sunken Condos.”
What may be even more interesting is
that his work with Fagen and Steely Dan
is just a portion of his most unusual and
accomplished musical resume.
The Grammy-winning trumpeter/
composer/producer/arranger has performed/
recorded with Yoko Ono, James Brown,
Meryl Streep, Caetano Veloso, David Byrne,
Laurie Anderson, and the Charles Mingus
Big Band. His trumpet playing was recently
featured on Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’
smash hit “Uptown Funk,” which won two
2016 Grammys for Record of the Year and
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Leonhart directed Meryl Streep in
the studio and composed the music over
which she read poems by India’s four-time
Nobel Prize for Literature nominee, Faiz
Ahmad Faiz. He served as musical direc-
tor and arranger on the just released “Song
of Lahore” album featuring the incredible
Sachal Ensemble from Pakistan; other guests
include Wynton Marsalis, Sean Lennon, Nels
Cline, Cibo Matto, Bilal, Seu Jorge, Mad-
eleine Peyroux, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks
and Jim James.
“Meryl Streep was lovely to work with,”
he said. “My original thought was for her
to sing, but she said ‘I’m not a singer. I can
play a singer but I can’t sing.’ It was the nicest
rejection I ever got.”
The “rejection” led to Streep’s reading the
poems.
Leonhart and Karrin Allyson co-
produced “Many a New Day: Karrin Allyson
Sings Rodgers & Hammerstein,” which was
a 2016 Grammy nominee for Best Jazz Vocal
Album of the Year. The album is out on
Motema Music and features Kenny Barron
(piano) and John Patitucci (acoustic bass).
Leonhart contributed horns and orches-
trations to the Mark Ronson/Geoff Zanelli
film score for the film “Mortdecai,” starring
Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow & Ewan
McGregor, which also features the Dapkings.
He has also recently produced albums
such as “Slow Motion Miracles,” by Sachal,
“Disturbing Wildlife,” by Invisible Familiars,
“Mexican Dust,” by Mosquitos and “TBA,”
by The Knitts.
This summer will also see the double-vinyl
release of Nels Cline’s mood album “Lovers;”
the music was arranged and conducted by
Leonhart featuring a 21-piece orchestra.
His success has positioned him to be “just
creating with no limits.”
He also has a new album (his eighth)
of his own coming out, but he may draw
the most attention for ”Ronald Rump.” In
the spirit of renowned artists, including
“Mingus, Byrne and Zappa,” who have con-
tinually kept an eye on politics and human
rights issue, he has crafted “Ronald Rump,”
with his Michael Leonhart Orchestra, a form
of political satire using the uniquely brazen
dialogue of Donald Trump from the public
domain.
Available on YouTube, “Ronald Rump,”
combines Leonhart’s music with overlays of
actual recorded quotes from and the “crazy
tone,” of Trump.
“When I started, I did not have an agenda
and there was not much of a political bent,”
he said. “He (Trump) speaks with such crazy
confidence and arrogance in that crazy style
of his. It’s not about policy, it’s more about
him as a person.”
Trump has been a most generous if
unwitting creative partner. He provides
Leonhart with additional material, “every
time he opens his mouth.”
“I’ve been thinking about suites like
(Duke) Ellington did,” Leonhart said.
“Because of all the new material available, I
may have to turn this into the “Ronald Rump
Suite.”

“conventional” music videos that Leonhart
has produced, as well as an interview with

August event to compliment the Scandina-
via Free Fair held earlier in the summer. As
time went on, the fair was disbanded but
the corn roast has grown into a three day
event. Friday night, the Scandinavia Vol-
unteer Fire Department holds their annual
firefighter’s dance in conjunction with the
weekend. The Scandinavia Viking Baseball
Club puts on a softball tournament Friday
and Saturday and hosts two B.A.B.A. base-

The 48th Scandinavia Corn Roast is
slated for August 5, 6, & 7. All weekend
long enjoy Fun Pros – inflatables and
bounce houses, a petting zoo, pony rides,
great food and refreshments, great enter-
tainment, and there’ll be a Friday night fish
fry. Saturday includes the parade on Main
Street and a Truck Pull. Sunday attend an
outdoor church service, ball games, farm &
antique tractor pulls, the corn roast and pie
& ice cream social.

ENTERTAINMENT // LITTLE FARMER CELEBRATES 150 YEARS
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Linda Beyer Struye is the fourth gen-
eration of apple growers on her farm and
orchard located along the southeast shore
of Lake Winnebago where on 139 acres,
twenty acres of apples and twenty acres of
pumpkins are grown every season.
“My grandfather bought the land in
1866,” Linda began “he planted the first
of the apple trees of what would become
the orchard, and it’s my understanding
the pear tree that’s near the house is one
he planted as well. My mother and father,
Emil and Evelyn Beyer eventually took
over the orchard, planted more trees, and
raised some beef cattle, and cash crop
alfalfa. I was an only child, so thank
goodness I had my cousin Suzanne Beyer
(Lemke) next door to help with the chores
(laugh). It was a wonderful childhood,
wandering and exploring the farmstead
and orchard barefoot all summer, I’d leave
in the morning, and not come back until
night! I followed my father around more
than my mother, hammering nails, work-
ing outside...growing up on a farm is a
wonderful experience.”
It was 1939 that the Beyer family began
retailing apples, the same year Linda was
born.
“Some of the windows that are still in
the red brick building across the parking
lot are from one of the buildings at the
1933 World’s Fair in Chicago,” she said.
After college, Linda worked for two
years before meeting her future husband.
“I married a Belgian fella’ and we lived
in many different places around the world
including Europe,” Linda said “before
moving back here to run the business.”
The Beyer’s were still selling only apples
when Linda and her husband returned
from Africa in 1972.
“We started growing and selling straw-
berries too,” Linda said “to augment the
apple income.”
When Linda and her husband parted
ways in 1985, Linda maintained the busi-
ness on her own.
“We eventually stopped raising straw-
berries, and started growing pumpkins,”
she said “that was in 2000, and that’s when
I began developing the farm into an ‘agri-
tainment’ business.”
The decision was made to transform
The Little Farmer from a quaint and
simple pick-your-own apple orchard, and
take things to the next level.
“It came down to either going all
wholesale, and investing in all kinds of
expensive equipment to start waxing all the
apples,” Linda said “and putting those tiny
labels on each one...because that’s what
supermarkets require, or selling retail. I
chose retail. Back in those days it was dif-
ficult dealing with the supermarket folks,
I have to say it out loud...but especially as
a woman, they were tough cookies. It was
a very cut-throat business, so I decided to
market things myself. It’s gradually grown
to what it is today which is beyond my
wildest dreams.”
Linda had belonged to a farm market
organization with tendrils from Great
Britain to Mexico, Canada and here in the
U.S.
“I toured in the off-season and saw
what other people were doing,” Linda said
“noticing a trend toward this style of busi-
ness with an orchard, and a bakery making
pies. I started making them here in the
house, until I made a temporary kitchen
in the apple house. We had a little hand-
crank peeler, and made the pies. Which
eventually led to taking the leap, and built
the pie kitchen. We went from one small
oven to the walk-in oven that bakes 60
pies at a time. Apple, peach, pumpkin,
cherry and blueberry pies. Depending on
the demand, and at the peak of the season,
we’ll make 400 to 500 pies a day. They’re
always baked fresh that day with the goal
being that it’s still warm when you buy it.”
They employ 124 seasonal workers, and
eight full-timers.
“I’ve sort of bowed out,” Linda said
“still keeping my hand in some of the
accounting, but I live nearby and am able
to keep an eye on things.”
That’s when Theresa Mayer, daughter
of Suzanne, and manager of the farmhouse
chimed in.
“She keeps an eagle-eye on things,”
Theresa laughed. “Linda approached me
six years ago, wondering if I would be
interested in transforming the farmhouse
into a retail cafe-type coffee shop. At that
time the house had stood empty for four
years. We put a game plan together. The
first couple years we didn’t have much in
the way of food, but the barista, the coffee
shop began to take off. This will be the
third season that we’ll have the kitchen,
and the Apple Blossom Cafe, up and run-
ning. Our garden supplies many of the
vegetables we use, and everything we make
is pretty much from scratch.”
In addition to running and maintain-
ing the house and cafe, Theresa does
landscaping, planting of flowers around

the property, and pruning the apple trees.
She and Alicia Petrie, who manages the arts
and crafts barn, make their pilgrimage to
Minneapolis every winter to attend con-
ventions and shows, looking for new ideas
and deciding on what to bring to the shop
for the next season.
“Stained glass windows were installed
in the craft barn that we’d gotten from a
church in Fond du Lac,” Alicia said “and
when the sunlight shines through and
illuminates the space, it brings a warm and
beautiful feel to the barn. Within we sell
both retail and consignment items. The
barn also has another purpose in that when
grade school tours come though, they have
their lunch up there, plus it’s a host spot for
birthday parties, and luncheon groups, and
there are a couple companies that come
here and conduct retreats. It’s a relaxing
atmosphere.”
“We kind of have three ‘divisions’
within the business,” Theresa said “with Jill
Daleiden taking care of the apple house,
making the jams and jellies, apple sauces,
the from-scratch caramel, and the bakery.
Jill Chou and Jill Daleiden have been
around for 20-plus years. Jill Chou used to
do all the school tours, and
now Alicia Petrie has since
taken over. Jill Chou is
still active as our incredible
sign painter, she continues
doing the caramel apples
for school tours and events,
plus helps out with land-
scaping. Jeremy Klemp is
our crop and maintenance
manager; spraying, harvest-
ing, and general farm and
machine maintenance.”
“This is an ‘everybody-
pitches-in’ kind of man-
agement,” Linda said “not
heavy handed. It’s really
neat, because I think most
if not all of the people who
work here really do care.”
The Little Farmer has anywhere from
ten to fifteen different bakers who’ve been
working on recipes over the years for all the
different muffins and pies.
And let’s not forget about the caramel
apples!
“I started that in my small kitchen as
well,” Linda said “and they started to go
over pretty well. Eventually we moved
making them to the apple house, dipping
them right in front of the customer.”
At that time they used Nestle caramel.
“We’d normally place our order for a
couple ton of caramel in January,” Linda
said “until one year, expecting our delivery
in July...it didn’t come, and it didn’t come.
I finally called my vendor and they matter-
of-factly said, ‘Oh, we’re not making that
anymore.’ Now we were up a creek! It
was panic time. Luckily I had some good
friends in the industry from Illinois who
had been making their own caramel for
years, and they offered to show us how
they do it. We bought a caramel making
machine, and haven’t looked back.”
There are 17 different varieties of apples
growing at The Little Farmer.
“And we just planted the 18th which
will be ready to bear fruit in 3 years,”
Theresa said. “Next year we’ll be planting
another three new varieties.”
“There are many different varieties,”
Linda said “ but a problem we have is
that many of them are classified as ‘club’
varieties, and people like me aren’t allowed
to grow them, because the apples actually
have a patent on them, and you have to
belong to this large group of growers, and
pay a substantial amount of money in order
to have the rights to grow that apple. It
keeps those varieties out of the hands of
growers like me, and available only in
grocery stores. In my opinion, I think it’s
something of a price control mechanism.”
The season will begin, and The Little
Farmer will open in early August when
the apples are ripening, and the peaches
they receive from Michigan have arrived.
During their peak of the season you’ll
count 3000 vehicles in the parking lot
throughout an average weekend day.
“I do worry when so many people are
here on the busy weekends,” Linda said
“don’t get me wrong, I love all the folks,
but sometimes the service suffers a little
because of the numbers.”
“When we’re open the playground is
there for the kids,” Alicia said “we bring
in goats and other animals, the corn maze
opens after Labor Day. And brat fry’s every
weekend through Halloween organized
by different non-profit groups. We’re pet
friendly, have hay wagon rides, pick-your-
own apples, or buy them already picked.”
And near the end of the season, dona-
tions of apples to the Salvation Army and
food pantries are part of what the Beyer
family has always done.
“My folks used to do it, so I just kept it
up,” Linda said.
We’re in the heart of our summer, but
Linda Beyer Struye and her staff are ready-
ing The Little Farmer for their sesquicen-
tennial season, and are waiting for you to

liams.
Jane Spietz: Hi Rich. How is the cur-
rent tour going?
Rich Williams: It’s going great, very
busy. Work, work, work. We’re going to
probably hit 100 shows this year. Plus, we
have the new album coming out.
JS: Yes, The Prelude Implicit. Tell us
about it.
RW: It’s the first one we’ve done since
2000. We’re very excited about it coming
out. It is absolutely a Kansas record! Kansas
fans are going to really like it. The empha-
sis was to aim for a quintessential Kansas
record. Be ourselves as much as possible.
We’re not aiming for hit singles, were not
aiming to follow any current trend. Were
just being ourselves. The worst thing about
it is that we can’t play it until the album
comes out in September. Now that it’s
finished, it’s been frustrating to not be
able to actually perform it. But September
will be here soon enough. Every record
that comes out now needs a bonus track
so we’re assembling some bonus tracks
right out here on the road. You have this
idea, just set up a mic in a hotel room
and you record it. You build upon it. It’s
a lot of fun to do things that way. It’s a
very impromptu, organic type of thing.
The whole project has been very much
like that, with everybody contributing lots
of ideas and very democratically open to
trying all things and concepts.
JS: Kansas will be celebrating the 40th
anniversary of Leftoverture in October.
RW: Yes, we will be starting a Leftover-
ture tour. We will be doing Leftoverture in
its entirety, in order. We’ve never played
every song on Leftoverture, for that matter.
And a lot of the new album as well, so it
will be a lengthy concert. Two, two and a
half hours. I’ve always thought it would be
a fun thing to do. And now were finally
going to do it.
JS: I saw that a Commemorative
Leftoverture SE Custom 24 guitar was
commissioned and donated for the 40th
anniversary with a beautiful overlay of the
album cover on the guitar. Why was this
created?
RW: A friend of ours, Paul Schmutzler,
became involved with autism research.
He does an auction every year for autism
research through us. This year we talked
with Paul Reed Smith Guitars and got
them to donate a guitar with the Leftover-
ture album cover imprinted on it. It was
auctioned off for autism research. I still
have it with me. The person who won the
auction is going to be picking it up at our
July 2 show in Topeka. We’re playing a cel-
ebration for Fourth of July weekend there
back home. They rejuvenated the whole
downtown area. The streets are now back
open. It will be a great block party for the
reopening of downtown Topeka.
JS: Talk about the time Jim Morrison
of the Doors sat in for a session.
RW: That was with White Clover,
which was one of the bands that everyone
from Kansas evolved from. I was in White
Clover, and Phil was. That particular ver-
sion I wasn’t in. Actually the only guy from
Kansas for that one was Phil. They played
at the New Orleans Pop Festival and White
Clover was also playing down at this club
called The Roach in New Orleans. Jim
Morrison came in to this little seedy club
and got up and sang with them. And
that was as it turned out, I think, his last
performance. In the same time period we
met Jerry Garcia. We were living down
in New Orleans in ’69 and ’70, again as
White Clover. The Grateful Dead played
at a place called The Warehouse that had
just opened. We went to see them and then
went back to the band house. One of the
girls that lived with us brought Jerry Garcia
over. We sat and talked with him all night.
He was this grand old man of rock’n’roll,
you know, spewing his wisdom. He was
probably 26 at the time but he seemed like
an old man to us. He was a great guy. It
was very fun to talk with him. I never met
him again. I had always wanted to ask him
if he knew that the guys in New Orleans
that he sat and talked with all night had
turned into Kansas. The end of the story is
that it was early morning so we drove him
back to his hotel in the French Quarter.
We dropped him off; he went inside and
got busted. And that’s the song “Truckin’”
- “busted, down on Bourbon Street.” I
always thought it was kind of interesting
that we were the guys that dropped him off
at the hotel! (Laughs)
JS: I read that you recently took an
unfortunate tumble off the stage. What
happened?
RW: We were at a casino in Louisiana.
After the set, before the encore, to walk
back to the area where I’d come up on
the stage. I was blinded by the lights and
turned into the darkness. Where I thought
the stairs were, they weren’t. I walked right
off the stage. There was a ramp and then
steps. I kind of hit the hole in between.
I had slices all across my elbows, cut my
hands up, and my right thigh smashed
into the ramp. I had a lump on it the size
of a grapefruit. When I hit the ground
by the steps, I broke my left ankle. Of
course, now it was time to play the encore.
Everybody was clapping and screaming.
Nobody could see that I was down in
this hole which was just wide enough to
fall in between. Now the stagehands were
grabbing me and trying to jerk me out
of there. I’m yelling, “Don’t touch me!”
I didn’t know if my back was broken and
was just doubled up in pain. Phil’s looking
down into the hole where I am. I just gave
him a circular motion like, “Keep going!”
I couldn’t get up. So Phil goes up and they
start playing. The other guys go, “Where’s
Rich?” Phil says, “He fell off the stage!”
(Laughs) So I played sitting in a chair for
a couple of months, but now I’m good to
go. Now I have a flashlight with me every-
where I go, along with a bunch of people
following me around!
JS: It is so great that Kansas will be
appearing at Waterfest in Oshkosh Wis-
consin on July 14 at the beautiful Leach
Amphitheater.
RW: We are excited to be coming there.
We’re a bunch of guys that are dedicated to
doing what we do. We’re all here because
this is what we’ve chosen to do. This is our
profession, it is our hobby, it is our love.
I appreciate the Kansas legacy. More than
that, I love what’s coming next. The joy
is in the actual doing, of making music.
We are looking forward to performing in
Oshkosh.

BY JANE SPIETZ
The minute that veteran rocker George
Thorogood hits the first chord on his
guitar, the crowd goes crazy and the party
begins. Thorogood’s signature high energy,
foot stompin’ rock ‘n’ roll is the reason.
Getting up on stage to entertain his fans
remains his biggest thrill after over 40 years
of making music.
Thorogood’s original compositions,
“Bad to the Bone,” and “I Drink Alone,”
are classics, as are his interpretations of
timeless songs by earlier iconic artists
such as “Move It on Over,” “Who Do
You Love?” and “House Rent Boogie/One
Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.” Two of
his albums reached Platinum status and six
were certified as Gold.
In 1981 Thorogood and the Destroyers
opened for the Rolling Stones, and George
acknowledges the Stones as important
musical influences early on and today. In
1981, the band also completed a highly
publicized marathon “50/50” tour of 50
states in 50 days. They began the tour
after flying to Hawaii, Alaska, on to the
Pacific Northwest, and then drove to gigs
throughout the remainder of the Lower 48
in a Checker Cab.
Interestingly, Thorogood played semi-
professional baseball in his home state of
Delaware for a time.
George Thorogood and the Destroy-
ers consist of George Thorogood (lead
vocals/lead guitar), Jeff Simon (drums/
percussion), Billy Blough (bass guitar), Jim
Suhler (rhythm guitar), and Buddy Leach
(saxophone/piano).
Thorogood brings his “Badder Than
Ever” tour to Waterfest in Oshkosh WI
on Thursday, July 21. He called me from
parts undisclosed.
Jane Spietz: Hi George. How are you?
George Thorogood: Bad to the bone!
JS: Where are you today?
GT: We swore under oath to the
government not to give the whereabouts
of our location. You know how it is when
you’re a fugitive from injustice.
JS: You have said that you could be
Wisconsin’s house band because you’ve
played here so many times.
GT: We’ve done the Churchkey in
Madison, Rock Fest, Oktoberfest, Sum-
merfest, Waterfest, the Mad City Hallow-
een event. Do you know that, after we did
those two Halloween shows in Madison,
the City Council outlawed us ever play-
ing there again on Halloween? They said
it was just too much. Did you know that
Mad City in Madison was actually on 60
Minutes one year? It was a bigger event
than Halloween in New York City or New
Orleans or San Francisco. It was the place
to go, but it was just getting to be too
much. They said, first of all, we don’t need
a band, and we certainly don’t need George
Thorogood coming here playing “Madison
Blues” in Madison, Wisconsin! (Laughs) It
was wild. Holy smokes!
JS: What was it like growing up in
Delaware?
GT: Very conservative, very dull. It’s
not like growing up in Greenwich Village
or New Orleans or Chicago, San Francisco
or Paris or Montréal. It’s Delaware. Who
goes to Delaware? (Laughs)
JS: Who were the influences that
helped to shape your special brand of
music?
GT: I was a big admirer of the Rolling
Stones. I looked at what their influences
were, checked out their people, so I could
learn to play properly. Like Robert John-
son, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Elmore
James, Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley, Chuck
Berry, John Lee Hooker. I checked out all
those cats so I could get a grip on how to
play rock guitar properly.
JS: Talk about your years of playing
semiprofessional baseball earlier on.
GT: It was just a recreational thing to
do on the weekend like some people play
softball, we played semi pro baseball. We
just did it in the summertime. We decided
to take a little time off. And I played
softball, too, later. I was
in a softball league for a
while, with a lot of other
people. I was on a softball
team with Alice Cooper
called the Vampires.
JS: Who’s your
favorite team these
days?
GT: I’ve always been a New York Mets
fan.
JS: I enjoy rooting for the Brewers here,
when they’re winning! I actually follow
football more closely, being just an hour
away from the Packers.
GT: You have a very good situation up
there, the Packers. You have the only sports
team whose fans are a part of the team,
a fan-owned team. Of course, I admire
people that can stand out there when it’s
10 below zero with no shirt on and a piece
of cheese on their head.
JS: Tell us the story about your amaz-
ing “50/50” of 1981. The band toured 50
states in 50 days! That must have taken a
great deal of plan-
ning.
GT: It was sug-
gested that on our
next tour that we play all 50 states. I
thought that sounded like a good idea, but
I didn’t realize that meant all 50 in a row,
which was not a very good idea. (Laughs)
By the time we did it, it was too late to
back out. We went ahead and did it.
JS: How do you keep from getting
rusty between tours?
GT: I do get rusty. I just try to make
sure that we don’t take too much time
off. Usually it takes a couple of days, but
there’s no getting around that. You can’t sit
home and practice your guitar when you’re
a performer. You’re going to be rusty the
first couple of days, especially if it’s a long
layoff. If it’s only a month or three weeks,
you’re okay. But when it’s been three or
four months, then it’s a little hard to get
the engine going.
JS: We are so looking forward to having
you and the Destroyers perform here at
Waterfest in Oshkosh on July 21st. What
can your fans expect that night?
GT: They can expect to see the greatest
rock show they ever saw in their life on
earth. What, are you kidding me? When
people go to the show, they need to make
sure they’re wearing their safety belt, and
especially afterwards when they go home!
