 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, September 14, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 9K Perfect Plan Develops Flaw It looks as though Agnes Hahn's hair and her sanity will survive after all. Her grandson Jerry Hinkle was planning on taking her to Minneapolis after dyeing her hair orange to see The Ditty Bops open for Nickel Creek at the state theater. Jerry went online to buy tickets and was greeted by the following message: "Tickets are no longer available through this online outlet. Please contact the box office or promoter for other available ticket outlets.". So it looks like Jerry's body will be home on October 29, but his mind will be wandering across the state line. Of course you won't hear Agnes complain. She got back home from her 2 week vacation late Sunday night, and she has enjoyed being there Single Arrow Continues Rebuilding Earlier this year, a tractor that was in the shop at the Single Arrow Ranch caught fire, burning the shop down. Ron LaFortune has been spending a lot of time and money to build another shop. All that was salvageable from the shop was the concrete floor. Ron has not only build around that, but has expanded the concrete floor. The work crew poured the cement today. Even though Ron was worried his dogs would mess things up, the only foot print in the floor was that of Jerry Hinkle. At least Jerry cleaned up after himself, which is unusual for him. Ron's new shop looks so nice that Max Gregg wants Ron to have a dance in there. Hinkles Party Down Doug and Darrel Hinkle celebrated their birthdays separately, but they were both really festive about it. Kristi Hinkle took Darrel out to eat, while Kaitlin Pothast made Doug a wonderful Ramen Noodle birthday dinner with a recipe she learned on the Food Channel. Doug then took Cade Hinkle out to the Fire Hall to wash the fire trucks. Mary Hinkle baked two cakes at the Ponderosa. The first one was burnt, so Harold, Mary and Jerry Hinkle ate it. Afterward Mary and Jerry walked 3 miles. Mary might decorate the second cake sometime in the future. No hurry because it didn't burn after all. The Ditty Bops in town by Kevin Farr Staff Writer of The Daily Aztec In a time lost and forgotten resides the passion of a generation. Captured in the framed canvases of artistic legends lies the roar of the 1920s. In the wake of prohibition our nation sought refuge in expression of the body and mind. The effects of World War I were brushed off shoulders like early winter snowflakes. This was a time to invest, both literally and metaphorically. Women's dresses shortened, speakeasies became integral to daily life and the blues were pouring sweet, soul-saturated raindrops onto the faces of people throughout the country. Unknown fingers plucked blues chords in the delta, while Picasso's hand spawned surrealist visions of the newly emerging world. Life was flourishing with new means of expression. Some say the 1920s was a decade of embellishments and partying. The foundation for much of our current artistic and musical styles was being forged in the belly of the beast.In the ashes of the old world simmered the embers of the new. Inner cities became the stomping grounds for flappers. Air was blown into the lungs of our then-infantile jazz scene. It was a glorious time of swing and soul.Eighty years later, Los Angeles' The Ditty Bops emulate the heroes and heroines of this time. Utilizing much of the same instrumentation and soul, The Ditty Bops encapsulate the elegance of a world distant and gone. This Wednesday, you can witness two women paying homage to their influences from the roaring '20s. The Ditty Bops will share the stage with Tori Amos. The two acts will grace Viejas Casino's Embarcadero stage by the bay at 7 p.m. on Sept. 14. Amos needs no introduction as she is the epitome of unrestrained musical talent and soul. It's a testament to The Ditty Bops that they are given the opportunity to share the stage with Amos. It will be an evening of divine sounds and ethereal vibes as these women perform under the star-lit sky. The Embacadaro is an illustrious venue situated on the west end of Broadway directly on the bay. Both Amos and The Ditty Bops are touring to support recent album releases. Whether you're into good ragtime sounds or sultry blues-drenched pro-feminist songs, this concert is sure to put a swagger in your step and a tear in your eye.
