THE HELPING HAND MISSION BAND

PARADE OF STYLEWORDS: CAITLIN RUSSELL | PHOTOS: CAITLIN PENNA & SEANO

“Merry Christmas, everybody!” Sylvia Wiggins shouts as she shakes hands with some of the tens of thousands of spectators watching “her kids,” as she calls them, in the Raleigh Christmas Parade. Wiggins, a larger-than-life personality, is the personification of exuberance and joy. Dressed in a top hat, and red formal jacket complete with nearly floor-length tails, her smile is as infectious as the spirit emanating from her group of men, women and children, collectively known by almost everyone in Raleigh as the Helping Hand Mission Marching Band. This parade, the largest of the year for the group, is the culmination of weeks of preparation, detailed choreography planning and anticipation. And the results, that 1.4-mile stretch of intricate drum beats, explosive dance moves and ear-to-ear smiles, speaks more than words ever could to Wiggins’ life’s work, the Helping Hand Mission. Today

is also the day they debut their new red uniforms, which were recently donated to the group.

“When I was a little girl, there were only light skinned people in the band,” Wiggins explains, her voice boisterous and instantly inviting. “So I said, when I grow up, I’m going to have a band where people of all colors can join.” Coming to Raleigh with only $11 and a dream, Wiggins made her dream a reality in 1976 and has since become a staple in the community, receiving accolades and recognition without losing an ounce of the humbleness that drives her. You can’t help but smile around her, and you won’t have a choice at getting a hug — Wiggins has never ever encountered a stranger.

And for the masses watching the Raleigh Christmas Parade, her work speaks for itself. Ranging in ages from three years old to well past 50, the bands accepts everyone. A group of younger girls who march in front, anxiously practice poses and moves before the parade. The self-proclaimed leader of this piece of the band, age 8, giggles, “This is probably my 20th parade or so. I’m in charge of the dancing.” Asia Harrington, one of the dancers in the older group who recently moved to Virginia from Raleigh, left her home before 5 a.m. just to make it to the big event. But marching down Hillsborough and Fayetteville streets, it’s the drummers and the drum majors who set the tone and the pace. And they don’t take their

jobs lightly, practicing almost daily to perfect every beat. Maurice Carter and Keonte Gause, drum majors, lead the group down the street, with retired drum major Willie Thorpe in the rear. The three together give an electric performance, complete with splits, hair whips and nearly acrobatic moves, as the drums blast hypnotically and the dancers move in sync with hip-joint-defying swings and precision. Breaking the intensity of the performance, the comedic characters, Cowboy Hand, Super Hand and Crowd Control Hand, don elaborate costumes, fake mustaches and capes and move about to energize the crowd. “Show ‘em how to do it! Show ‘em y’all! Y’all are the best!” The crowd gives the group the reception they want. “We’re here to get hyped. We’re here to get turnt up — that’s the phrase,” says Gause. For Thorpe, who at 42 has been in the group for 28 years, the spirit of this event has special meaning. “These kids could be anywhere, doing anything. But they’re here. And that means they don’t have time to get in trouble,” he says. Thorpe himself knows Wiggins’ passion first hand; he graduated from Wake Tech last May at her encouragement. Wiggins’

“kids” all get that same level of affection — she pushes a “no drink, no drugs” rule and sees the band as an anti-gang, pro-education, pro-community initiative. But that mission is all subtlety — Niyah Devine and Jamya Richardson, two cousins who dance for the group, just enjoy dancing. Devine’s mom explains, “Her dad signed her up. And she just loves it.” Turning off the route and into a parking lot at the end of the parade, you wouldn’t know the event was over if you just watched the Helping Hand Mission. They continue playing for more than 30

minutes to an ever-growing crowd in an empty lot as people leaving the parade get drawn into the excitement.

If they are exhausted, they don’t show it — for the Helping Hand Mission Marching Band, energy and hype and spirit make up the fabric of life. “Red, baby baby! Red! Don’t you love these new uniforms! Look at these kids! The fun doesn’t stop now! Let’s dance y’all!” Wiggins yells to anyone and everyone, exemplifying the very feeling you get from watching the scene — pure joy.

BREAKING BOUNDARIES WITH

ERIC DIXONWORDS: SABRINA GALLI

“Don’t give up on your dreams. If you go for what your dreams are, you get to have a good time.” Eric Dixon was just about to give up when he got his break in 2013. Before he got into Beehive Studios in downtown Raleigh, he was ready to throw in the towel on a dream that had started when he was six years old. And he wasn’t going to show up to the event that day, but a friend had talked him into it. Before he even got there, Eric had sold two or three pieces, which he’d never done before — not even a single piece had sold. Shortly after, he joined Raw Artists Raleigh and has been doing back-to-back shows ever since. Now, he’s dreaming big.

Currently, Eric is focusing on his merchandise design with Oak City Hustle. Intertwining his own passion for BMX and skating, skate decks are his big project. Five years ago, he went to a skate shop with his cousin and was, of course, drawn towards the artwork. He noticed that most of the decks were generic logos with little creative license. He knew he could do better, so he began

to create his own. By the end of the year, Eric had 180 skate deck designs. He’s looking to release his designs for OCH by March or April of next year.

As our featured artist, Eric also designed this issue’s cover. In true artistic fashion, each piece of his design was intentional. He aims to recognize the people and places that have supported him throughout his career. The “S” on her left arm is a symbol for Dixon’s aunt who recently passed away. Although we could easily guess that the acorn is for Oak City, Dixon pays tribute to the other places he’s called home (check out the “W” and “PC” on her right shoulder). Eric also snuck in a bunny rabbit and an elephant for his grandpa and grandma, respectively. By letting us in on his secrets, we gain an insight into both his imagination and inspiration as an artist. When I asked to learn more, Eric brought me back to a place we all wish we could go — high school.

John Steinbeck wrote that: “The only good writer was a dead writer. Then he couldn’t surprise anyone any more.” In high school, Eric Dixon was told the same thing about becoming an artist. People will only appreciate your work if you die — or if you become an art teacher. Steinbeck disagreed with this idea, suggesting that its origin comes from a discomfort with conflict. For Dixon, his conflict began with limitations. In school, he was taught to draw from life instead of from his

imagination: “I don’t believe in that. If you’re an artist, there are no boundaries about what you can and can’t do.” Eventually, Eric hopes to bring his own mentality into the classroom. He wants to teach middle and high school students how to use art to channel and express feelings in a positive light. In pursuing his own artistic career first, he aims to provide his future students with firsthand experience about how to successfully persevere as an artist.

THE HURRICANE MAESTRO

LARRY O WORDS: ANFERNEE AFTERWIT | PHOTOS: GUILLERMO DELGADO

Piano lessons for an eight-year-old boy growing up in Chicago can feel like a bit of a drag. This was the feeling for a young Larry O, the present-day official organist for the Carolina Hurricanes. However, this feeling quickly changed

the minute he was attending a Chicago Blackhawks game and noticed the organ player rocking the crowd while watching his beloved Chicago Blackhawks.

“The Barton organ in the old Chicago Stadium took up half of the place. Back when they didn’t have the DJs. The only music you had was the organ.”

Realizing that all of the hard work that is put into learning the piano could translate into such an awesome job was a notable turn of perception for young Larry. However, his path to working as the official organist of the Carolina Hurricanes was not a direct

line. “I learned the organ while at a seminary in Wisconsin, but I’ve played cocktail lounges, I played in a bunch of classic rock bands, and I played the piano at church for a while.” With all these twists and turns Larry has finally settled in comfortably in his dream job. “I was working at a nuclear plant down in South Carolina when I saw the ad for ‘Organist Wanted’. I said, ‘Oh crap. This is one of those brass ring jobs’.”

Larry O and his theater organ have become something of a fan favorite at the PNC Arena. He plays during TV time outs and intermission, and he often has to move as swift as the players on the ice. “I do a lot of rallies and standard song snippets but the game goes so fast you’re lucky if you can get four measures in,” he says. They previously had the organ placed up in the press room, then they moved him to the bar before finally settling in with the fans on the concourse at section 107.

BRASS RING JOBS”

Larry’s relationship with the organ has been an intimate affair throughout his life. Like most worthwhile relationships many valuable connections have harmoniously developed. Larry reminisces, “When I first started doing this I started wondering what other organists were playing, so I started emailing the organists from other teams. We started up an email circuit initially where we’d share what songs we would play in different scenarios. Now the group has expanded to include organists from some minor league teams. It’s neat.”

At one time every team on all major league sports had an official organist. That number has dropped precipitously over the years. Larry

states, “There’s only a couple organists in the NHL. Most are up in the control room using keyboards. There’s only about six or seven teams that have a big organ like this.”

Raleigh is lucky to be one of only 30 cities that has a professional hockey team. We are even luckier to have one with the understanding that culture matters. Keeping the threads of heritage sewn into the experience of the game is critical to an authentic connection. Without the organ we would be left with Top 40 pop hits and digitally recorded loops. A proper rally requires a human touch and Larry O is the best in the game. Larry recognizes the situation, “This is a dream job. I love it. It’s as good as it gets.”

You can find Larry O on the concourse in section 107 of the PNC Arena at every home game of the Carolina Hurricanes.

Stop by and say hi next time you are at a game.

TALKING BLUES WITHJOHN DEE HOLEMAN

& TIM DUFFYWORDS: CICELY MITCHELL | WET PLATE COLLODION PHOTOS: TIM DUFFY

Sitting down to talk about the blues with Music Maker Relief Foundation Founder, Tim Duffy, and legendary blues man, John Dee Holeman is much like having a conversation with

family back home in West Tennessee. The setting was charming and the staff was welcoming. Mr. Duffy shook my hand and started right in on the history of Music Maker with a southern drawl

that’s music to my ears. On the short drive to Hillsborough and Music Maker’s office, the scenery reminded me of home.

Duffy founded Music Maker in 1994 as a way of saving the world “one blues man at a time.” This means preserving

the music as well as providing assistance to those blues musicians needing medical attention, housing or touring/recording opportunities. Duffy’s background in studying folklore and American roots music gave him the conviction to advocate and gather resources for blues musicians, most of whom were poor and working class. The practitioners of American Southern Music as described by Duffy have been exploited for their music then put to pasture after the hits were forgotten and the money spent.

Guitar Gabriel introduced him to the Black carnival and circus players as well as identified talent at drinking houses in Winston-Salem. What started as humble beginnings of helping a few blues musicians has now

blossomed into a cultural institution helping more than 400 blues musicians over the years. One such recipient of Music Makers services is John Dee Holeman.

Holeman chooses his words wisely and thoughtfully. This self-taught hard working blues man is still actively touring playing his acoustic tunes. The romantic notion that Holeman was born with a guitar in his hand and blues lyrics on his lips is definitely not reality. Holeman came up the hard way as a heavy machinery operator paving the streets of what is currently downtown Durham. He wasn’t a full-time blues man like you might imagine; Holeman worked hard by day and played drinking houses and house parties at night. It was in these houses where Duffy came

to know him on the scene back in 1995.Sitting there listening to stories of world traveling and playing large festivals, you can see the authentic respect for one another and genuine love for the music. One message that Holeman mentions is how he feels about today’s music. He really wishes that lyrics and songwriting were valued more especially in popular hip-hop music. He also wishes that playing live instruments was championed as well.

Learning more about Holeman, you realized that he is the ultimate Bull City musician. Authentically Durham. Gritty. Hardworking. Soulful. He paved not only the streets of downtown Durham literally — he paved the way for the music scene which is thriving today.

LIFE IN TEXTURE CAROLINE COCKRELL

WORDS: HEATHER LEAHWOOD

When Caroline Cockrell chases the perfect photograph, she doesn’t look for stunning landscapes or magnificent architectural wonders. She crawls into back alleys and junkyards, hunting for rust and decay.

“I look for color and art in places people don’t think to. I find myself around a lot of old buildings, junkyards, old cars — I get up really close to compose and make a picture out of it,” Cockrell explains. Red-brown rusty hues on a corroding green car door, scraped and worn by age, can look like an abstract painting, sprayed and texturized by a loving artist. Cockrell captures this unconventional beauty, so often overlooked.

In fact, at first glance her photographs resemble paintings. Only upon closer examination does the viewer realize they’re seeing a broken curbside, a decaying building, or a rotting wooden door with peeling paint.

After years of casting aside her passion for photography, Cockrell finally decided to embrace her dreams. She says, “I was reaching a point in my life where I wanted some purpose. I wanted to make myself happy again, because I’d been struggling.” She started out small, participating in Color of the Week challenges on Instagram. Hoping to build a portfolio and a following, she searched for color, texture, and composition in unconventional places to create a memorable style.

Finding some success on Instagram, Cockrell’s work helped her connect with other local artists.

“Right now I’m working for Arts Now, the sister website of the N&O,” she explains. Her work there allows her to pay it forward to other photographers. “We have an Instagram, and we’ve given our followers a hashtag to use. We’ll feature people on the Arts Now

website.” She hopes to give attention and encouragement to other artists. It’s all, she says, about putting yourself and your art out there.

According to Cockrell, photography helped her rise above challenging times in her life. She says, “I love looking at my pictures, and looking at pictures of places I’ve been. I don’t like feeling stagnant.”

Cockrell is far from stagnant now. Like an urban exploration photographer superhero, she always carries a camera, prepared to dash off into the nearest abandoned warehouse or sketchy alley. It’s her way of discovering and interpreting the world — and a way to have adventures with her photographer friends.

“I love graffiti. Anytime I can scope out some graffiti, I’m there. There are so many different areas in downtown Raleigh I love — old murals, or abandoned buildings and back alleys. There’s a bunch of old warehouses; I love going behind there.”

Cockrell’s unique perspective gives her audience a new way to explore and appreciate Raleigh. She hopes to expand her collection by traveling overseas to photograph unconventional beauty in unexpected places.

As she says, “There are pictures everywhere.”

SHED A TIR NA NOG

WORDS: RICHARD LIVINGSTON | PHOTOS: JOE BRUNO

“The new servers used to ask about the thatch roof on the cottage, and I told them that my grandfather fell to his death from it while thatching and that his hat and sickle are still on the roof. I was so distraught that Pete had the cottage roof shipped in, as is, for me. They believed this story and shared it with customers.”~ Annie

“One time when I didn’t work there, I pretended to walk out on a $60 tab at close just because I wanted Nick to chase me. Because beard.” ~Laragh

“I got a terrible prize for getting last place in trivia.”~ Ernie

LIFE

I’ve never had to deliver a eulogy. Until now.

Saying goodbye to a good bar isn’t unlike saying goodbye to a lover; it’s the little things you’ll miss. Since 1997, Tir Na Nog Irish Pub has been a downtown Raleigh touchstone, hosting eclectic and varied events — from clog dancers to punk bands to breakdancers, runners, Sunday brunchers, trivia geeks and folk singers. How does one say goodbye to the idea of place? It’s probably simpler to let the friends, patrons and staff of Tir Na Nog put it in their own words…

“Twice, the rock group, Like A Storm, played there. Once for a charity benefit and once for the 4th of July. I met people there a few years ago. Because of those shows, we remain friends to this day. The band is now signed and has the third song off of their album to be in the rock charts. Thank you for all of the good times!”~ Kim

“I consider Tir Na Nog an icon of downtown Raleigh. My husband and I went to see bands together before our boys arrived. We had a Christening party for our son in the back room because I wanted my family from out of town to experience one of Raleigh’s landmark restaurants.”~ Linda

“I’m sad to witness the end of an era. Their vacancy will feel more like a vacuum.”.~ Susan

“Tir Na Nog was a place I begged my parents to go to for my birthday as a kid. When I got older and I managed to interview and land my first kitchen job, I was giddy and nervous. The fact that my childhood restaurant was my first step into the culinary world was unbelievable. The staff was like family who encouraged me to learn and grow as much as I could, not just as a cook but as an individual.”~ Sasha

“Some of the area’s biggest bands played on that stage.”~ Blair

49

“I’ve worked there ten years! It’s my home! So many people met here, then married, then had children! It’s cray! My life happened here.”~ Roxanne

“We’re a big dysfunctional close-knit family. I’m honored and humbled to have had something that meant so much to so many.”~ Pete

“I remember that time when Woody won the Boston civic election, so Sam needed another bartender and hired Carla... oh, wait, that was a different thing.”~ Bar Rando

“The Nog means family, friends, laughs, tears, deaths, births, music, dancing, weddings and divorces. The building may no longer be the house, but the people and the memories will continue on. Our family will always be family, regardless of which house we are ‘living’ in.”~ Misty

____________________________________

Thank you to everyone who made Tir Na Nog such a special place to so many in Raleigh. Change in inevitable but it doesn’t mean it won’t sting when it happens.

See you on the flip-side Tir Na Nog.
