F^\P]U^a0[[BTPb^]bDoris Murphy turns 100 with plenty of adventures ahead

By Lois Pearlman

>ne of the best things about living a long time is that you get to do a heck of lot. Doris Murphy, who turns 100 this week, is a prime example. From her childhood as the rebellious daughter of a Portland architect and his socialite wife to her current status as the maven of Occidental, she has lived life with energy and audacity, and never looked back in regret.

I didnt think about it one way or another, she says. I just kept on living.

Doris is best known as the founder of the Occidental Community Council, the creator of the Occidental Center for the Arts, and as part of a circle of writers who meet regularly under the guidance of author Chester Aaron.

But her adventures began many years ago, and they are not over yet. Robin

Beeman, her friend and one of the editors of her autobiography, Love and Labor, attributes this to Doris zest.

Shes an interesting person because she is interested in everyone else, Beeman says. She grew up in a generation, in the 30s and 40s, when they believed in having fun.

She founded a shoestring literary magazine in 1934 with a handful of idealistic friends. But it was the height of the Depression, and it failed. Her next project was an artists colony on the Portland waterfront. She was pleased to find, in a visit 10 years ago, that the area is still devoted to the arts.

It is now a modern building, but still filled with galleries, she says.

Soon afterward, she returned to college, where she trained to become a social worker, a reliable profession in hard times. But Murphy makes abundantly clear that her

greatest adventure was her 45-year romance with late labor leader Joe Murphy, whom she calls the love of my life.

A childhood member of the International Workers of the World, the Wobblies, Joe was an administrator for the American Federation of Labor when Doris met him in a North Beach bar in 1942.

It was mutual love at first sight. The only problem was that Joe was still married. There were a few years of agony and ecstasy for both of them, but true love found a way, and they were married in 1948. They had already purchased an isolated property on the top of a forested ridge in Occidental, where Doris still lives with her heeler mix, Matilda.

For 10 years, they were weekenders. Then Joe retired from the unions and they moved to the land in 1958. With her masters degree in psychotherapy, she got a job at a clinic in Santa Rosa. Later, she worked

By Rose McMackin

0 s the century turned, Americans were completely sugar high for the cupcake. After hyperstylish Carrie Bradshaw enjoyed a retro, pink-frosted cupcake from Magnolia Bakery on an episode of Sex and the City, the fashion world became smitten with the little East Village bakery. Cupcakes, with their perfect ratio of frosting to cake, were no longer relegated to the world of kindergarten birthday parties. Exotically f lavored, delicately frosted cupcakes were featured in Vogue spreads, and Magnolia Bakerys cupcakes appeared in movies like The Devil Wears Prada and in SNLs 2005 instant classic Lazy Sunday digital short.

Just as quickly, the trendy desserts radiated outward from Lower Manhattan. As a luxury, cupcakes, with their humble origins, single serving size and ease of preparation, lent themselves to democratization and offered a taste of indulgence in an economically challenged decade. But America might have finally

overdosed on them. In fact, the new cupcake might just be a cookie, the French macaron.

Not to be confused with the kiss-shaped, double-o macaroon, a coconut cookie often dipped in chocolate, the macaron is a biscuit composed of delicately baked meringue and finely ground almond flour. Ideally, the crunchy exterior of the cookie should give way to an airy interior, a satisfying chewiness and a light but compelling f lavor. Perhaps most distinctly, macarons distinguish themselves from the realm of regular cookies by their extraordinary colors, which can range from creamy off-whites to peacock blues, mint greens and rosy pinks.

The culinary history of the macaron is an elusive one, but generally food historians believe that Catherine de Medicis chef brought the macaron from Italy in 1533 and served them at her wedding to Henry II. But it was two Carmelite nuns, sisters Marguerite and Marie-Elisabeth, who established the macaron as a French classic. When the French Revolution dissolved their religious congregations, the

sisters baked and sold the cookies, which had been an important staple of their monastic diet, to support themselves. The popularity of the Champagne-colored biscuits, not unlike chewy sugar cookies, grew rapidly, and the women came to be known as the the Macaron Sisters. Today in Nancy, a city in northeast France, Maisons des Surs Macarons purports to sell macarons made from the nuns original recipe.

The cookies were traditionally served in pairs, but it wasnt until the 1860s that Pierre Desfontaines Ladure, a cousin of famous bakery founder Louis-Ernest Ladure, hit upon the idea of putting the patties together into a sandwich, joined by ganache, jam or butter cream to create the Parisian macaron. With the concept of double-decker macarons came the notion of f lavoring them, but choices were largely limited to chocolate, vanilla and occasionally raspberry until the 1980s, when Pierre Herm, who originally baked for Ladure, expanded the menu of macaron f lavors to include everything from rose, orange blossom and anise to jasmine tea, vanilla olive & )

oil and basil lime. Today in Paris, ethereally colored macarons are displayed in patisserie shop windows like jewelry, and Ladure and Pierre Herm continue to vie both for the hearts of tourists and locals alike.

Macarons have had a cult following for years, but they are now beginning to see the same sort of pop-culture endorsement that inspired the cupcakes all-out celebrity status. Ladure macarons made a number of cameos in Sofia Coppolas candy-colored Marie Antoinette, Gossip Girl named-dropped Pierre Herm as trendsetter Blairs favorite, and Jason Wu, the designer behind Michelle Obamas inauguration gown, teamed up with the legendary pastry chef Francois Payard to feature the cookies in the December issue of Food & Wine. Even Google Insights, which breaks down the volume patterns of internet searches, shows macaron on a steady progression into the American consciousness.

Popularized in Paris and eaten at Versailles, macarons certainly have more elitist origins than the cupcake, but that might just be part of their appeal. They are difficult to bake and have a shelf life of just a few days, which means they are likely to remain a specialty pastry. With most bakeries offering hand-crafted cookies and innovative f lavors per season, each cookie is a piece of art. Prices reflect this individual attention and luxury ingredients, with most macarons costing between $1 and $3 apiece, and some, like Pierre Herms white truff le macaron, commanding prices as high as 8 euros.

This has, of course, not inhibited chains like Starbucks, Trader Joes or McDonaldswhich sells individually wrapped versions of the cookies in its Parisian McCafes from trying to cash in on the macarons rebounding fame. But their mass-produced take on this artisan treat have met with chilly reviews from the food-blogger community, whose food-porn style photographs and lavish descriptions are largely responsible for the macarons Stateside momentum.

Ultimately, it is the elusive nature of the macaron thats likely to bring it out on top. Macarons are subtly sweet and often difficult to find, and baking them requires patience and dedication; as a dessert, they inherently balance indulgence with restraint. Anticipation can be delicious, and seeking out the recipe is half the fun.

Locally, macarons can be found at the Big 3 Diner (at the Sonoma Mission Inn, 18140 Hwy. 12, Sonoma; 707.939.2410), Dominiques Sweets (Santa Rosa Farmers Market), Della Fattoria (141 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma; 707.763.0161), Bouchon Bakery (6528 Washington St., Yountville; 707.944.2253) and La Boulange (618 Redwood Hwy., Mill Valley; 415.381.1260 and 5800 Nave Drive, Novato; 415.382.8594). Ramekins hosts a French macaron class on Thursday, April 22, at 6:30pm. 460 W. Spain St., Sonoma. $80. 707.933.0450.

BX[eTa;X]X]VB_TRXP[How art and music are surviving

and f lourishingin the Great RecessionBy Gabe Meline

C he f loors are covered in sawdust, the rafters strung with clotheslines and draped with vintage linens. Buster Keaton films screen against the high brick walls, while string bands play folk songs on the low, fencepost-dotted stage. Gutter punks, hippies, performance artists, puppeteers and culture vultures alike nosh on cornbread, barbecue and offerings from the Free Pie table, while in the adjoining room, a young girl in rags leads a sing-along of Oh! Susannah.

On this night at the North Bay Film and Art Collective in Santa Rosas Railroad Square, hundreds of people are here for the Hootenanny, standing shoulder-to-shoulder to watch live music, share food, learn songs, watch films and participate in the creative arts. Just about everyonefrom officially slated

performers to impromptu singers, to those in dustbowl garb and people lugging in free pieare in on the act. And when everyones in on the act, it stops being an act and starts being community.

The undercurrent to the Hootenanny, both aesthetically and realistically, blew through the dusty rafters as plain as a tumbleweed. The Great Recession is here to stay, and to no small amount of surprise, its actually helping to foster a groundswell movement in the arts. Its a motivation to create the experience, as Hootenanny co-producer Gio Benedetti puts it, rather than create the income.

This could be no more apparent than in this 9,000-square-foot space that once housed the North Bay campus of the New College of California before that schools closure in 2008. And though former New College president Martin Hamilton tells of offers from interested parties to buy the property from owner

Peter Gabelwhose mother Arlene Francis routinely starred on the 1960s quiz show Whats My Line? and whose father Martin Gabel acted in such films as Harvey and Marnienone of the intended uses have aligned with the goals of whats known as the Arlene Francis Foundation.

We talk about the collapse of capitalism, the collapse of the arts, the collapse of New College, Hamilton says. It slipped away just as things were really falling apart in the whole country. So its very tender for us. A bunch of us had committed our lives to social change and everything that New College stood for. In rethinking our lives, as weve gotten old, how to take this building and use it in a way that speaks to our hearts?

Last year, Hamiltons neighbor Eric McIntyre proposed managing a multicultural arts center in the space, and along with Dave Fields, Jessica Barry and Celeste ' %

performed at last months

Hootenanny.

6014ver in Napa, a young collective is working toward the same opportunity. Wandering Roses Olivia Everett, 23, says teenagers in Napa used to graduate and leave town to find careers. But the economic downturn has brought people back to Napa, she says. Graduating into a recession, a lack of jobspeople returned home. It really left this group of people here who decided they wanted to make something of it.

Everett and fellow Arts Council Napa Valley staffer Christy Bors have committed to founding an all-ages venue in order to bring together the sudden explosion of young bands and artists in Napa. The two even combed through city and county laws to find ordinances that impeded their goal, such as a zero-decibel noise policy after 10pm and antiquated rules for dancing. We put together this ginormous ordinance reviewit was 26 pages long, says Everett, who presented it to the city council with encouraging results; shes meeting with city planners to hopefully overturn a few of the ordinances.

Working with the Nests Ann Trinca, the all-ages venue project called Artist Tree is throwing the Independent Culture Fair, la the Maker Faire, in May and hosting community meetings at Bloom Hair Salon on Main Street. Just four walls and a roof would be all were asking for, Everett says, hoping to find vacant real estate for visual art, sculpture, performance, a zine library, music and meetings, similar to what Santa Rosa has done with its innovative f loating Phantom Gallery project. We think that it could bring vibrancy to the areas that dont have a lot going on in terms of tenants, and can be beneficial to the landlords, beneficial to the artists and in general beneficial to the community. So were really stoked on this.

Chat exact setup is in place at a small building on Third Street in Santa Rosa, where Swensens ice cream parlor stood for years before morphing into a series of Mexican, Chinese and

seafood restaurants. For the last eight months, its been vacant, except on the first Friday of every month when hip-hop choreographer Gabriel Francisco, DJ Jimmy Esquivel and promoter Roman DArgenzio turn it into Kaleidoscope, a swirl of dance, live street art, DJing and music. The events been packed for two months straight, thanks to Romans father, local real estate agent and property owner Dino DArgenzio, who says that opening shuttered doors to the arts is a two-way benefit.

Imagine a vacant storefront, DArgenzio explains. Its kind of depressing-looking. Whereas when you see a space, even if its under temporary use, and people come to it for an event, its a positive, optimistic feel. It just adds a different energy to the space. So whatever we can do to help out organizations in the area on a short-term basis, even though it costs us money in utilities, cleanup and a little bit of maintenance, its a way of us giving back to the community.

As a booker, Esquivel is happy to help DArgenzio bring people together from different parts of the arts community, and emphasizes that none of the artists or DJs at Kaleidoscope expect to get paid; theyre content with the exposure, experience and vibe. The community that we have here is beautiful, he says of the underground arts, without grandstanding. We need to feed into it. It all starts with us, every individual.

> f course, its not beautiful when you cant buy groceries. On the first of the month, Theresa Hughes has $20 in her pocket. A clothing pattern-maker by trade, shes seen revenue dry up even while her creative well remains brimming. Shes just back from meeting with a designer in San Francisco, the first job offer in months, while around her home hang huge hand-painted signs and set pieces, beautiful pieces of art she created as the visual and props coordinator for Santa Rosas Great West End and Railroad Square Handcar Regatta when she was out of work.

As a free event, the Regatta is fueled by an army of volunteer sweat, and at the end of the day what ends up happening is all of us work for free, says Hughes. I think I got $800 total for the props last

:0;483>B2>?40Painter Sergio Lopez created this large oil and acrylic for the local monthly Kaleidoscope art party.

year, and that reimbursed me for supplies. Opportunities arose, though. Hughes Regatta art caught the eye of Les Claypool, who commissioned her for custom signs for Claypool Cellars and a huge folding locomotive stage set for his New Years Eve show at the Fillmore Auditorium.

If she had been employed the way she was 10 years ago, at a womens clothing company in Berkeley, Hughes wouldnt have had the time to sculpt the visual aesthetic for the Regatta. And though shes painting her house for rent credit and teaching weekly sewing classes in her living room to get by, she wouldnt change the experiences shes had in the downtime. I feel like its all facilitating something new, she says. In a way, the recession is pushing us out of our comfort zone into trying something different. Because we have to.

Chat something different may well be critical acclaim. The rudimentary aesthetic of the Great Recession so fascinated Sonoma State University art history professor and gallery director Michael Schwager that hes co-curated Sideshow, on display at the SSU Art Gallery with installations, signs, clothing and kinetic sculpture from Handcar Regatta artists. Schwager has a mainstream art background, but acknowledges

the Zeitgeist current to the economic downturn in emerging artists using glue, nails, felt and thread.

Theres a certain modesty about the materials, and in some ways theres an informality about the presentation, he says. Its not fussy or pretentious, the way some parts of the art world are. And certainly, in this particular exhibition, theres a kind of nostalgia about the turn-of-the-century into the early 20th-century aesthetic.

When underground art informed by hunger makes it into mainstream galleries nationwide, is it then a movement? The days of the movements, and someone leading a movement, and the critic writing about a movement may be gone, Schwager muses, which is, I think, to the betterment of the art world. He adds that hes seen it increasingly cropping up in galleries and museums in the last few years.

Whether they all see it as nostalgia for the 1930s, or if its just because jobs are scarce, moneys scarce, materials are more easily scavenged than purchased, its happening, Schwager says. Is this aesthetic going to push out painting and printmaking, photography and sculpture? Thats unlikely. But I think its going to find a place somewhere at the table. It probably already has.

Luciani. The boy who shuddered at the prospect of killing becomes a man for whom its a lifestyle. He works his way up the jailhouse food chain, climbing over the corpses of his competitors along the way.

Malik is no Michael Corleone. He is graceless and, more often than not, resistant to introspection. But he is every bit the opportunist, a scrappy apprentice taught too well by Luciani, who takes him under his wing. Maliks ascent isnt exactly triumphanthe survives several brushes with deathyet his increasingly complex criminal enterprises, even at their most brutal, seem vested with a perverse logic. In planning for a post-prison future, what choice does he have?

We are grateful for Maliks survival, but the violence that becomes second nature to him is nothing to celebrate, something Audiard (The Beat That My Heart Skipped) understands. A Prophet is no fairy tale; there are neither heroes nor villains, merely men married to a desperate career path, some by choice and others by necessity, all fighting to eke out an existence. Malik proves better at it than most, but his tragedy is a depressingly common one: to save his life, he must sacrifice his soul.

A Prophet (Un Prophete) opens at the Smith Rafael Film Center on Friday, March 12. 1118 Fourth St., San Rafael. 415.454.1222.

0=43D20C8>=Tahar Rahim (standing) and Niels Arestrup make an unlikely, but murderous, team.

By Rossiter Drake

9acques Audiards harrowing story of a 19-year-old whose life is redefined by a six-year stint in a French prison has been compared in some corners to The Godfather, and the comparison makes sense on some superficial level.

Malik (newcomer Tahar Rahim) begins his exhausting two-and-a-half-hour journey as a fresh-faced petty criminal, penniless and alone in the world, a sheep condemned to live among wolves. He loses what remains of his innocence in short order. Commanded by Corsican mobster Luciani (Niels Arestrup, terrific) to murder a fellow Arab or suffer an equally gruesome fate himself, Malik reluctantly learns to kill, concealing a razor in his cheek and clumsily slashing his victims throat.

The episode stays with himhes haunted by visions of the man whose life he stolebut it never seems to inform the other choices he makes behind bars. Malik embraces his supposed rehabilitation, learning to read and write, carrying out menial errands for his newly anointed Corsican protectors. But his education doesnt stop there.

Over time, Malik shrewdly injects himself into the prison drug trade, eventually establishing himself as a gangster equal in stature to the aging

Del & the BoysThe endlessly entertaining Del McCoury Band is among the finest bluegrass ensembles working today. Theyre also one of the most authentic. Gathered around just one microphone in the old-fashioned tradition of the Grand Ole Opry, the groups members shuff le around in dance patterns that would make Arthur Murrays head spin, jockeying for position according to bellowed backup vocal, fiddle solo or vivacious group strum. With sons Robbie and Ronnie as longtime members, and with a recent spiritual album, The Promised Land, the McCoury unit would seem bound to traditionuntil you hear their versions of the Lovin Spoonfuls Nashville Cats, Frank Sinatras Learnin the Blues or their incomparable show-stopper, Richard Thompsons 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. After 50 years of performing, McCoury is a veteran at the top of his game. See him Friday, March 12, at the Mystic Theatre. 23 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 9pm. $25$28. 707.765.2121.

RighteouslyI am not leaving the 60s! Im not leaving! Righteous Brother Bill Medley joked at a concert last year in Branson, Miss. But the fact is that time has a way of forcing even the smoothest of blue-eyed soul singers out of their comfort era. Medleys voice in 2010 inevitably bears the grizzle of 45 years of performing, but the reason to see Medley live, of course, are the songs: Youve Lost That Lovin Feelin, Unchained Melody and the Dirty Dancing comeback hit that transplanted Medley out of the 60s and onto the Top 40, Ive Had the Time of My Life. Hollywood was kind to the brothers righteous in the 1980s with key songs in Top Gun and Ghost, but ever since longtime partner Bobby Hatfield was found dead just before a concert in 2003, Medley has soldiered on solo. He duets with family members and reminds fans of their youth on Sunday, March 14, at the Lincoln Theater. 100 California Drive, Yountville. 5pm. $39$59. 707.944.1300.

Really?Oh geez, Junior Reid. Weve seen your name on festival lineups and knew you were cagey in interviews about your stance on fellow dancehall artists homophobia, but now this? Your song called Funny Man, with the chorus In Sunday school they teach us bout Adam and Eve / They never teach us bout Adam and Steve? Are you for real, Junior Reid? Because its dumb enough to be a homophobe, but its just downright embarrassing when you fall back on the lamest redneck clich in the world. Incidentally, who cares about whats taught in Sunday school out of a grossly mistranslated book anyway? Oh, wait, thats right, you do, because Rastafarianism is Christianity with dreads. We got this guy here in America, Pat Robertson, I think you twod get along. And dont be surprised if you see people outside your show this weekend holding signs that say Junior Reid Is No ArtistRecycles Tired Slogans to Make Not-Very-Interesting Points when you play on Friday, March 12, at 19 Broadway Niteclub. 19 Broadway, Fairfax. 9pm. $25. 415.459.1091.

I think it created an interesting vocal style, Carlile says by phone from her tour bus in Lexington, Ky. Any uniqueness to my voice at allits just that you cant tell which one of those artists Im mimicking at any given time. As a kid obsessed with music, she says she would wait until everyone left the house so she could practice hitting the high notes on songs by Cline, K. D. Lang and Roy Orbison.

I just loved it so much, she recalls. I wanted to get better and be the best. I spent a lot of time practicing by myself, because you dont want anyone to hear you practicing singing out loud or yodeling.

At 14, Carlile became a back-up singer for an Elvis impersonator, an experience she describes as a milestone in her evolution as a performer. Repeated viewings of Elvis videos and movies taught her not only about vocal harmonies but also the importance of showmanship. I realized that he had a respect for the people who came to see him, like no one else did, she says, and thats why he moved that way, thats why he dressed that way and thats why he talked to the crowd.

Carlile and her band are currently touring in support of their third album, the Rick Rubinproduced Give Up the Ghost, which features a guest performance on the buoyant anthem Caroline by Sir Elton John himself. Recorded with Carliles longtime band matesthe twin brothers Tim and Phil Hanseroth, who work closely with Carlile on songwriting duties and have backed her since her 2005 self-titled debutGive Up the Ghost comprises of a solid mix of rollicking pop songs, from the soaring album opener Looking Out to more down-tempo ballads like That Year, a melancholy meditation on a friends suicide.

Carlile calls these songs time travelers, explaining that her songwriting process is driven by a desire to write songs that stretch beyond her present experiences as a touring musician on a rigorous schedule. She laughs, aware that songs about Starbucks, tour buses and sound checks might not make for great art.

While its a really exciting moment to me, and Im completely fulfilled in my life, I dont think its a relatable topic, Carlile says. The songs are time travelers, because theyre taken from other places than the moment. Theyre taken from my subconscious mind. They are taken from dreams, they are taken from things from the past, they are taken from things that I puzzle over and ponder about the future. They are not right-now songs, and I always wanted to learn how to write not right-now songs.

While the band has worked steadily to reach this moment of success, Carlile says none of it has felt like work so far. To me, all I ask for is music, she says. Whatever happens as a result is bonus. I look back on it, and, yeah, it does feel like a lot of work. If I had to go busk right now, I might not have as good a time, but when I was busking, it was a great time, it was a blast. It was the best six hours of every day. So it doesnt look like work, from where Im standing.

Brandi Carlile plays Saturday, March 13, at the Mystic Theatre. 23 Petaluma Blvd. N., Petaluma. 9pm. Sold-out. 707.765.2121.

CX\TCaPeT[X]VBrandi Carlile on the

subconscious, Elvis and the joy of busking

By Leilani Clark

=ow 28, Brandi Carlile has come a long way from her teenage years busking on street corners and playing restaurants in exchange for food in her native state of Washington. Since the 2007 release of her second album, The Story, which has sold more than 313,000 copies and been prominently featured on Greys Anatomy, Carlile and her band have played to adoring audiences across the country, drawing raves for her rich country-tinged voice and energetic live performances. She plays a sold-out show at the Mystic on March 13.

Carlile began her singing career at age eight, with community theater performances of Johnny Cashs Tennessee Flat Top Box and San Antonio Stroll. Her early influences were strictly country: Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and Kitty Wells. But after discovering Elton John, the Beatles and Freddie Mercury when she was 11, Carlile started delving into much more diverse musical inspirations.

Sonoma County resident Steven Campbell has spent the past 20+ years studying how the brain works. This past spring, he released his third book, Making Your Mind Magnificent: Flourishing at Any Age. He now leads a series of workshops and presentations throughout California based on the concepts in his book.

Stevens work can be boiled down to this simple, yet oh-so-hard-to-change idea: The Brainaccepts what we tell it without question! Once we learn how to change the way we think (the emphasis of Stevens workshop), we will literally change our lives in that very instant!
