Many of these barriers are rooted in our ideas about age and aging.” Sasser is an educational gerontologist, transdisci- plinary scholar and commu- nity activist. She has worked in the field of gerontology for more than half her life, beginning as a nursing assistant and aging advocate before focusing on research, writing and teaching. Dreyfuss is a writer and independent interdisciplin- ary scholar. His undergrad- uate studies were in the interdisciplinary liberal arts with concentrations in writ- ing, literature, anthropology and philosophy. His gradu- ate work was in English and creative writing. Cabaret-style concert slated in Long Beach Peninsula Arts Center hosts blues man Albert Reda LONG BEACH, Wash. — Au- diences at the Peninsula Arts Center may be familiar with Albert Reda from his appearances as bass play- er and vocalist with blues guitarist Terry Robb. This time, however, Reda will be doing a solo show on piano, showcasing old favorites, some originals, audience requests, and a chance for some dancing. This caba- ret-style piano and vocal show will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5. Reda has been in the heart of West Coast music for 40 years. Beginning in 1977, and throughout most of 1978, Reda performed regularly in San Francisco music and comedy clubs with Donald Freda as the duo Reda and Freda. During this time, they opened for or shared the bill with many comics, including a young Robin Williams and Dana Carvey. In 1979, Reda joined the seminal West Coast punk band Mutants, and beginning in 1980 began performing regularly in the traveling oldies act Cruisin’, playing the bass, piano and singing. This band would play a “History of Rock & Roll” type show in clubs in the Bay Area. When they weren’t performing in the Bay Area, Cruisin’ could be found traveling throughout northern California on oldies tours with Wolfman Jack and backing up groups like the Drifters and the Coast- ers. In 1988, Reda moved to Portland and for the past 25 years has been playing with Northwest blues artists SUBMITTED PHOTO Albert Reda will perform at the Peninsula Arts Center Nov. 5. such as Robb, Lloyd Jones, Duffy Bishop, Bill Rhodes, Robbie Laws, (all members of the Cascade Blues Asso- ciation’s hall of fame) and many others.
