Living at Homewoods on the Willamette

 This is a comic short film about my younger brother that I created from 15 years of home movies.  In the summer of 1966, staying in my parents Medford home while they were back east, I decided to keep busy by organizing Dad's home movies. That's when I discovered that my brother was a born ham. When he saw a camera, he ran toward it or otherwise became the focus of the shot. Stringing clips together for family entertainment was a no-brainer. (10 minutes) https://youtu.be/ahXfhUSLNvI?sHerei=d_f7YckFInwVxiLu Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com

 Another Typecast artificial intelligence project, creating an audio play from the textual script.  The first short scene of a longer work, about a history professor who drops out to spend the remainder of her life emulating the musicians on the Titanic. Looked like it was going to open in Santa Fe until covid hit. Gathering dust ever since. Now it's getting new life.

 The publication of this short story as the cover story in the Oregonian's Sunday supplement happened during "my high 1980s" as a Portland writer. Not only was the story featured, with cool cover art, but the same issue contained a rave review of Cocktail Suite, the first hyperdrama I had produced myself. My previous two hyperdramas had been commissioned, and I was eager to have more control over the outcome. The story itself was the result of spending lots of time in Joseph near Wallowa Lake. Quite miraculously, the public television version of my play Christmas at the Juniper Tavern had brought me many fans in Wallowa county, including an anonymous patron who let me use his lakeside cabin rent free for a month every Spring. Joseph almost became a second home. After listening for many weeks to local storytelling (most often in taverns), I told a local story of my own. https://youtu.be/1uk_OZqMTmg Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com

  Nature Wins Before living in the Homewoods retirement community, Harriet and I lived in another, Vineyard Place, which is not far from here. We didn't like it much but fell in love with the area. We stayed at Vineyard less than a year  and moved into an apartment. While I was there, I formed a dramatic reading group. Only one woman had any drama experience. It didn't matter if we weren't very good. The point was to keep busy. We did two projects while I was there. This is the first one, called Nature Wins.

 What I called my "signature scrapple recipe" was posted on my Writing Life II blog on October 25, 2012, the day before my birthday. This is not a recipe for authentic scrapple but for "a poor man's clone" that I developed from a love of scrapple and frustration at its rare availability on the west coast. Moreover, this recipe is neither difficult nor time consuming. Making authentic scrapple is both, as I learned in graduate school. I had a friend who lived in the country outside of Eugene and raised chickens and a few pigs. He had taken to heart my frequent laments that the west coast had yet to embrace scrapple as a staple, or even as a luxury item for that matter. Before Oregon, I had lived in New Jersey, Virginia and Texas, where stores often carried several brands of scrapple, it was so commonplace. In the west, at best, you might find it frozen or fresh in the deli of an enlightened cook. One day, I told my friend, I must learn to make my own scrapple. So...

    Folks keep living longer, and companies that cater to independent and assisted living seniors grow in kind. When we considered independent living in retirement after Harriet's heart attack, I was overwhelmed by how many facilities there were in the Portland area. We ended up touring 38 places (free lunch!) before making a choice. All of these places have a similar message in a style that ranges from enthusiastic to exaggeration to hype. At the Vineyard Place website you can read, " We are completely dedicated to making sure you or your loved one have fun, exciting days and nights full of life!" Your golden years await you! You find pop culture embracing the same rosy view, especially in music. Here's Kenny Rogers singing about how wonderful it is to grow old together: https://youtu.be/8LXKm1CJ998?si=dnhUBrTjYTw6jTCD But there are dissenters. Harvard math professor Tom Lehrer, whom I consider the best satirist since Jonathan Swift, brings his dark and politically i...

 Here's a very funny movie about a man in early retirement. From Rotten Tomatoes:  Warren Schmidt (Jack Nicholson) has arrived at several of life's crossroads all at the same time. To begin with, he is retiring from a lifetime of service as an actuary for Woodmen of the World Insurance Company, and he feels utterly adrift. Furthermore, his only daughter Jeannie (Hope Davis) is about to marry a boob. And his wife Helen (June Squibb) dies suddenly after 42 years of marriage.

I'll never forget the day I first read this short story in the  New Yorker magazine. I was stunned. I was shaking. I had to reread it again several times to convince myself I wasn't hallucinating. Robert Coover, an American writer on the edge, had done it again. The story is brilliant.  I alerted several writer friends to the story, and they agreed. Coover had reshaped traditional narrative to show, better than any other literary work we knew of, how the mind works when under the influence of alcohol.This story doesn't describe what it's like to be drunk: it PERFORMS what it's like. And I am blown away again to find the story on the Internet in an excellent reading. Going For A Beer https://youtu.be/75KPZY9ftV0?si=LLb7YSdYvnqWNfA5 Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com

 The story of Dorothy Day https://youtu.be/BDBKRJyuuy0?si=Gs5V0CHLvYtRorNb Another Catholic activist was Ammon Hennacy, who ran the Joe Hill House in Salt Lake City. He spoke at the University of Oregon when I was a graduate student. After his presentation, he said his next gig was in Seattle, and he needed $30 travel expenses. He literally passed the hat. It came back filled with money, probably hundreds of dollars. Hennacy dumped the money on a table, took out $30, said thank you -- and left! We were stunned. What do we do now?

 In the mid-60s, when I was seeing a lot of Ramblin' Jack Elliott shows in Southern Californis, I noticed he always opened the show with San Francisco Bay Blues. The song was written by a SF legend, the one-man band Jesse "Lone Cat" Fuller. Fuller once remarked that far from "stealing" the song, Elliott was making him rich. Here are both versions.

  Today my favorite musical genres are jazz, classical, folk, in that order. The only time I listened to pop was as a teenager, loving doowop. But in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, my favorite music was folk.  I performed folk music myself and always had my guitar at hand. At parties, at dinners, I arrived with guitar and sang for my supper. I first heard Elliott in the Army. I subscribed to the folk magazine Sing Out and responded to an ad for his first American album, Elliott sings Woody Guthrie. Playing the album, I became an immediate fan, an increasingly obsessive one. Elliott was ahead of the curve, peaking before folk music became popular in America. He went to England and made a reputation there. With the sixties new interest in folk, he returned to America. By the time I got out of the Army, Elliott was making regular appearances at the Ash Grove, a So Cal folk club. I was always in the audience. Why do I like Elliott so much? His performances blow me away. Here he covers a ...

  When I was in high school, and a sports fan, there was periodic speculation about whether or not the mile could be run in under four minutes. Track stars were trying but always failed. Then in 1954 a miler named Roger Bannister took to a  track in Oxford, England, and the rest is history. This Day In History tells the story: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-four-minute-mile This sort of thing -- folks believing "it can't happen" -- occurs all the time. When I was managing editor of Oregon Business Magazine in the 1980s, we published a special issue addressing the question, "Will the Dow Jones Average ever break 1000?" (Today the Dow was almost 39,000! By June, 2022, 1755 milers had broken 4 minutes.) Remarkably enough, online I found a film of the event -- narrated by Bannister himself! https://youtu.be/wTXoTnp_5sI?si=PBdrv3ezkEfCP-SA Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com

  Here are three folk singers I admire. They were at the top of their form in the 50s and 60s. Doc Watson is a legendary guitar picker and fine singer. He uses both a flat pick and the two-finger picking style called Travis style. He named his son after Merle Travis. I saw a lot of Travis on an afternoon country variety show on TV in the 50s. https://youtu.be/6mh_PuYjBjc?si=LeYnBdY-RTzjXX41 Peggy Seeger was singing about equality for women two decades before the woman's movement. Talk about being ahead of the curve! Maybe she was inspired by her half-brother Pete Seeger. Or was it the other way around? https://youtu.be/m1gf7JENZHI?si=E_3k10wAWcyqzZM8 Barbara Dane had a fascinating career. Like Ramblin' Jack Elliott, she peaked before folk music became popular here.
