HOOD RIVER NEWS | Hood River, Ore.
One more time! Sharing music responsibly
By JIM DRAKE
Entertainment writer
To readers of this column: I
want to simply say Thank You
to the community.* I’d have to
check, but I believe we’ve been
running for more than 15**
years. One thing I’ve always
known: Music and performing
arts events could have filled
the entire paper, each and
every time. But, sadly, you
can’t print everything.*** To
me, the column showed us the
“tip of the iceberg”**** in terms
of how vibrant our community
is.***** P.S. If you start booking
your world tours for 2025, fans
will be elated when gigs get
un-postponed years sooner.
Drummer and video editing
expert Tim Ortlieb says he’s
trying to drum up content for
the Columbia Center for the
Arts’ online presence. “If any of
you have a video about coping
with COVID-19 ... perhaps a
tune, or clip of you in isolation
... please drop me an email at
timortlieb@gmail.com.”
Even though my birthday
fell in a Pandemic Month,
that didn’t stop western-music
specialist Les Vaughn from
sending well-wishes: “I wrote a
song last night about my early
days on the farm. I think it’s
going to be a good one.” Pos-
sibly inspired by recent events,
expect an additional new song
called “Toilet Paper Bandit.”
From the This is What Hap-
pens When Musicians Spend
Too Much Time Online De-
partment : Suckerpunches’
heavy-rock bass player Jim
Semlor said comedy icon Steve
Martin’s recent banjo video
was “a beautiful tune ... made
me smile amidst the chaos.”
Sundiver bass player Ryan
McAlexander gave us a glimpse
of his Jazz side with a shout-out
clip of the late Kenny Rogers,
on stand-up bass, playing Satin
Doll with Dudley Moore, on
piano. But, does he know that
Moore continued the Arthur
movie franchise with “Arthur
II — On the Rocks”?
Hands — Washing Hands.
That’s the new chorus to Neil
Diamond’s old song, “Sweet
Caroline.” Promoting health
and safety never seemed so
good.
The Dalles’ Nolan Hare says
“a group of us has decided to
step up and do something,
anything, to help support our
local scene here in The Dalles!”
Look for the “Play it Safe” Vir-
tual Concert Series, everyday
at 6 p.m. on Facebook. Expect
the singing of the national
anthem, interviews with local
restaurants and bar owners as
well as opportunity for local
officials to relay information to
the community.
Hillbilly Hazards Ben Bon-
ham and the Hapa Hillbillies
tried an experimental Skype-
like jam as a benefit for the
Moth Lounge on YouTube at
youtu.be/do-ns52lou8. Suffer-
ing from “not actually sound-
ing like a song,” the best thing
about this well-meaning video
is it shows everyone complying
with staying at home. And why
lip-syncing became as popular
as it did.
And speaking of staying at
home, brewer and banjoist
Matt Swihart took to the inter-
net to promote his new single
“Drink Double Mountain at
Home.” Thank you friends, and
Please Share Responsibly.
*You know who you are.
**Your actual paper may
vary.
***Where would you put it?
****In the “Good” way, not
the “Bad” way.
*****A really good thing.
