THE REGULAR JOE - IT’S FREE! - GRAB ONE!

My title today is borrowed from a campy 60’s Western starring James Garner. The story as I remember it, has the locals under attack by bad guys from out of town. So they bring in a smart-alec hired gun to protect their interests. Comedy ensues. The good guys wins in the end and our hero gets the girl.

In a goofy way, that’s sort of how we think about what we do.

Seems like there’s always some new snake-oil peddler, ridin’ into town on the noon stage. Spreadin’ sweet lies and making promises they’ll never keep.

It’d be cool to think we’re “high noon” guys, facing off in the middle of Main Street. But we’re really more like bush-wackers, popping up to take potshots from our hiding spot before ducking our head back down again.

Looking out for the little guys because nobody else is. And because we’re little guys ourselves!

We’re grateful for the generous support from the handful of local busi-ness leaders that lets us do what we do.

Look at all the fine publications that have come and gone since we started The Regular Joe. Nearly every one, at some time or another, asked how we got some of the larger advertisers in our pages, when they couldn’t.

Some were relationship deals. Friends supporting friends. We admit, some early support came from simply not being “the other

guys.” But over time, we kept folks by trying to put something out that they

want to support. Something that makes them call or email. “Waiting for people to call” is our genius marketing scheme, and it’s

kept us at a minimal level of sustainability for going on ten years now. During pretty much the same time frame, our friends at The St. Joseph

Music Foundation have been running a parallel track in the radio industry. They started out online only, and built a listenership around the world,

along with healthy numbers locally as you would expect. They are also a 501c3 non-profit entity.

Their diversity is their hook. Prog Rock followed by Classic Country followed by Alternative, and pretty much every kind of thing, with a heap-ing helping of local artists mixed in. Truly, something for every listener.

After years of steady progress, they finally passed the last hurdle with the acquisition of their FCC License. Within months the tower was up and St. Joseph’s newest broadcast station, KFOH was on the air at 99.3 on your FM dial!

We’re proud of our friends. We’ve been doing what we can to promote them in these pages all

along. But we’ve decided to do more. So we’re going to get serious about pimping for our friends. The first thing I asked was for them to move the studio to the front

window. Their space is in the historic building on the corner of 26th and Frederick. They have a wall of glass facing one of the highest traffic

streets in town. Anyone who remembers driving past the old KKJO studio on the

South Belt, knows what I’m getting at. We’re talking about a “living room” setting with sofas and end tables.

Get out of that back office and let people see something going on! We’re going to boost membership and go after some new sponsors. I have an idea for new members where we’re putting together a pack-

age of thank-you gifts like a PBS telethon. One of them is something I’m calling “Your Ultimate Playlist.” Make a list of your personal favorites. We’ll play a one-hour block of them on the air for your birthday. Or your anniversary. Or any occasion, really.

Announcer: You’re listening to Ned Johnson’s Divorce Playlist on KFOH Radio. That was “Love Stinks” by Nazareth, and next up: Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You.”

But I bet birthdays will be most popular. What a great gift idea! You’ll get a CD of your broadcast as a keepsake. They can play it at

your funeral! Anyway, call me at 617-5850. Email me at email@theregularjoepaper.

com. Tell me you want to support The Regular Joe and/or The St. Joseph Music Foundation. We’ll figure out something that matches your interest and your pocketbook.

You’ll feel good for doing it and you’ll be supporting some nice folks trying to have some fun and do some good locally.

And thank you in advance, for supporting your local gunfighters!

Dear Joe,

by Shawn Murphy

This morning on the news I saw footage of an elderly woman who had gotten confused, mistaken her gas pedal for the brake and drove her car through the front window of the St. Joseph Fam-ily Care Center, the poor dear.

I seem to remember back when I was a teenager and on tour with the New Generation Singers a similar incident occurred. We had arrived at the church where we would be performing after a long ride on the bus and were milling around out front of the building stretching our legs, our lug-gage lined up on the lawn. We were waiting for our housing assignments when all of a sudden an enormous blue Oldsmobile Delta 88 hardtop sedan came barreling across the grass. We scattered. The car lurched for-ward and I swear the vehicle became airborne. It plopped back down then lurched forward again like it was on a search and destroy mission laying waste to every piece of luggage in it’s path . Luckily, no one was injured, although the diminutive elderly maiden driving came very close to annihi-lating Rocky Kiefer, but his teenage reflexes were at their peak back then and he jumped out of the way just in time. She too, had mistaken the gas pedal for the brake. She kept stomping on the brake (that was really the gas) trying desperately to stop the car, her eyes big as a planet, barely able to peer over the dash. When they finally got her out of the car after prying her hands from the steering wheel, I still remember how shaken she was, the poor little darling was crying uncontrollably and trembling all over. She felt horrible that she had almost plowed under some of America’s fin-est youth and in their prime at that.

As my friend Vicki will attest, old people and cars are a lethal com-bination. Case in point: her father Larry, who has finally quit driving, thank God! The last time I rode with him he became so engrossed with his opining on about “young people these days” that he became completely unaware of his surroundings and absentmindedly drove right through several stop signs and red lights oblivious to the honking, swearing, and

middle finger displays aimed in his direction. He had a close encounter with a squirrel who escaped, just barely, with it’s life, and he came very close to taking out a bus stop full of school children. Not to mention the numerous curbs that were run over and medians that just “jumped right in front of the car.”

By virtue of having lived forever, he knows it all, and has solidly immutable, and often completely bat-shit crazy opinions on absolutely everything. I just love him, but at the request of his entire family and the Department of Motor Vehicles, he has relented and is now letting someone else take the wheel.

It always scares the crap out of me to see some doddering old couple shuffle their way through a parking lot and spend much of what’s left of their precious time on earth trying to remember where they left their giant boat of a car. Then they do the endless, fumbling search for their keys. Once the proper key is located on their giant key ring loaded down with every key they’ve ever owned, it takes them ever so long to get the key into the lock. Once the doors are open, they remember that there is something they need to put in the trunk and so, again, it’s a search for the right key and the procedure begins again. By the time they finally get themselves actually into the car, several small Slavic countries have changed names at least twice.

I do realize that very soon I myself will be one of these doddering old persons unable to find my car in the parking lot and making the security people at the mall drive me around in a golf cart looking for my black Toyota RAV4. It will only be after I make a phone call to my son Ben to come and get me that I will be reminded that I traded in the Toyota two years ago and bought a silver Nissan, oh yeah.

So in the future if you get stuck behind me driving 20 mph down the Belt and swear you will never be a slow driving, blue haired, support hose wearing Yoda, just remember: at your age, that’s what I said too.

Although predominantly a performer and composer, Anthony Glise is no stranger to publishing. Along with eighty-plus commercial releases, his 1997 textbook, Classical Guitar Pedagogy is used by hundreds of univer-sities and music conserva-tories worldwide. However, when he began writing his last book 24 years ago (which just launched internationally on Amazon.com), he didn’t realize that the ad-venture would involve a two-decade scavenger hunt through state and private archives in seven countries, leading him to secrets that had been lost for centuries.

The Guitar in History and Performance Practice from 1400 to Today is Anthony’s most recent release but of all his publications, this one has been a dream project for over two decades.

“This was a massive undertaking but the first problem was that there had never been a univer-sity textbook ever written in English on guitar history.” said Glise, “There were no ‘models’ or cumulative information, so I needed to go to the archival sources that were scattered all over the world.” “Many of those sources were in state and private libraries and their holdings aren’t available on the web.” “Those older, fragile documents can’t be digitized since the heat from a scanner could damage the paper and in some archives they’re even concerned about the pos-sible damage from a camera flash.” said Glise.

As he further explained, “Given the historical rarity and monetary value of these documents, the archives often require some pretty extreme security measures.”

Glise’s book included aspects that went far beyond expectations. “I think one of the most important things in the book is the timeline that,

year-by-year, parallels important social and po-litical events with events in the guitar world.” As he further explained, that timeline gives students a point of historical reference to the guitar’s development.

In the end, Anthony is convinced that this massive project was worth the years of research, travel, and challenges. “There had never been a textbook in English on the history of the instrument and our guitar community needed this writing.”

The guitar community seems to agree. Over 100 universities worldwide have pre-ordered the book for classes beginning next fall and even the president of the Guitar Foundation of America, Martha

Masters, wrote a solid endorsement: “Although college classical guitar programs have existed in the US since the 1970s, the availability of upper level course materials has been minimal in rela-tion to most instruments. As such, pedagogy of our instrument has lagged both in the studio and the classroom. That classroom aspect of classi-cal guitar education takes a giant step forward with this publication by Anthony Glise.”

With this massive project finished, and growing international acclaim for the book, it might be time for a little vacation, but Anthony disagrees. “Now I’m working on the Teachers’ Manual, a free, online video review of each chapter, and another supplementary book titled ‘Research and Writing.’ It never stops, but it’s a labor of love… it’s sort of a ‘gift to everyone who enjoys the guitar, don’t you think?”

With 20-plus years of research, over 150 full color photos, examples—and countless challenges—this book may not be tied up with wrapping paper and a bow, but Glise’s The Guitar in History and Performance Practice is in-deed a “gift” to anyone who wants to learn about the birth and development of the guitar over the last 700 years.

We’ve all just come through a divisive presidential political campaign and regardless of what side we were on, I think we can all agree that we are breathing a collective sigh of relief now that it’s over. However, December for many of us, brings even more stress as we find our-selves right in the middle of the holiday season. Whether we celebrate Christmas, Hanukah or Kwaanza, the holiday season just naturally im-poses added pressure on us: There are presents to buy, parties and programs to attend, dinners to host, and all kinds of special foods and drinks that tempt us to overindulge. And if we’re not careful to take care of ourselves, we’ll compro-mise our immune systems and wind up with a doozy of a cold or worse due to lowered resis-tance.

Teas and spices associated with the holiday season, on the other hand, can protect us and help us navigate this special time of year with more ease. I call them the teas of peace and the spices of nice.

Throughout history, there are certain teas that people have drunk for their soothing, calming and restorative

properties. These teas, sipped slowly and meditatively, help us to practice mindfulness, the state of being centered in the present mo-ment instead of regretting the past or worrying about the future.Chamomile, the tea brewed from the little yellow flowers that smell like honey, is well known for its ability to soothe an upset stomach, ease anxiety and promote sleep. Lavender is another relaxing herb, and yes, you can mix the purple flowers into your chocolate chip cookie dough or brew them as a tea either alone or mixed with other relaxing herbs.

One of my favorites is Green Tea which con-tains much less caffeine than coffee and is beau-

tifully balanced by an amino acid called The-anine which helps the body relax while keeping the mind clear and focused. When you need energy as well as tranquility, green tea makes a perfect beverage to drink. Then there’s Kava, a root revered for centuries among the islanders of the Pacific. Try kava in a blend with other herbs since it has a rather bitter taste on its own. It can promote almost instant relaxation but it’s probably better to drink it at night in your home instead of out and about because it can make you feel drowsy. Finally, there’s Holy Basil, the number one herb in India, that has a wonderfully sweet aroma and which has the ability to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body.

When it comes to spices, there’s a reason why every coffee shop in America features pumpkin pie drinks when the weather turns colder. We are just naturally drawn to the spices that make up this aromatic mixture: Cinnamon tastes sweet while helping to balance blood sugar; Warming Ginger calms an upset stomach and reduces inflammation; The pungency of Clove also reduces inflammation while stimulat-ing digestion; Nutmeg strengthens the immune system and boosts cognitive function at the same time; Allspice, the only spice in the mix that grows in the Western Hemisphere, aids digestion while reducing bloating, something we all need when sampling too many goodies.

While traders hundreds of years ago traveled thousands of miles to obtain herbs and spices, all we have to do is open up our cupboards to experience their wonderfully healing powers. As noted Buddhist monk and author Thich Nat Hahn, says, Drink your tea (and spices) slowly and reverently as if it is the axis on which the world revolves--slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. (quoted in Dr. Tieraona Low

Dog’s autumn newsletter).During the frantic holiday rush, slow down,

breathe the aromatic steam of brewed tea, sip it slowly and let it steep your consciousness into a state of peace. You don’t have to be holidazed by the holidays!

Healthy Holidays to All!

How do you stay committed to the fitness lifestyle during this time of year? Planning and integration may be the best approach. Staying fit isn’t easy during the best of times but if you want to continue to rock those yoga pants, you’ll have to head that pie off before it reaches your thighs. There is no doubt that school, work, kids, and other obligations keep our minds and bodies engaged at a pace that is sometimes unmanageable. But, just like your kid’s favorite toy is at the top of Santa’s list, staying fit needs to be high on yours. Santa will understand, he wants you to look good in those yoga pants, too. And, if you’re not on the naughty list, maybe he’ll bring you some new workout gear to keep you motivated. He knows that if you aren’t the best you for yourself, you certainly can’t be for your loved ones. There is no doubt that the holidays can knock your fitness goals down a line or two but getting crafty will save you some work when Janu-ary rolls around.

The first step is to forgive yourself. When we talk about fitness, we sometimes leave out the mental and emotional aspect of it. This is a mis-take since your physical body and mind are part of the same system and rely on the same homeostasis to keep you balanced. This balance is simple in concept but complicated in execution. It basically comes down to physi-cal activity, mental conditioning, and nutrition. The holidays are a triple whammy to our best fitness intentions because they hit us by demanding more of our time, stress our mental state with consumerism and event planning, and attack our waist with a torrent of calories.

You’ll be surrounded by family and friends who may not understand your anxiety because you missed the afternoon run. Grandma may insist that you eat that second piece of pie. And, the scale may deliver bad news as your kids are tearing through the house screaming at the top of their lungs. Instead of carrying this anxiety with you and unintentionally pass-ing it on to your friends or loved ones, try letting go of it through for-giveness. Make a list of the people and things you’re thankful for to help you gain perspective. Or, take a quick walk to shake it off. If you’re into meditation, try planning some shorter sessions throughout the day. They can be at your desk or in an enclave. Set a five-minute timer and focus on your breath. There will probably be some missed runs, rides, or swims and this may cause some internal conflict. If you are just starting, you may feel like it’s impossible to get going.

While you’re practicing self-forgiveness (and grandma forgiveness), plan your week carefully. It may require a little extra effort to get your workouts in but you can do it. If you know what you like to do, it makes it a little easier. If you’re new to fitness, this may be a good time to experi-ment. For instance, if you’re into triathlon, plan that swim/bike/run day and stick to it, even if it means getting up early for a morning session because your evening is taken up with activities. The important thing to remember is that even if the workout isn’t everything you had planned or hoped for, at least you are moving and working off some of those calories. If you are used to setting a time or distance goal for the day or week, it may help to set a calorie goal instead. This will help you keep track of what you’re burning and taking in.

The CDC recommends that we get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate to strenuous activity. These sessions can be as little as 10 min-utes as long as you hit that 150 a week minute goal. Most good fitness trackers aim for the 150 minute mark and monitor this through heart rate. And, they recommend at least two days of strength training per week. This strength training needs to incorporate all the major muscle groups.

Try to integrate your workouts into your everyday life if you can’t manage the early morning sessions or you need more activity. If you work from home, try getting the laptop on the treadmill or stationary bike. If you work in an office, take a ten minute walk every couple of hours or plan an activity on your lunch if you can. The goal is to get your heartrate up

You may want to hide out in a corner and get pushups in several times a day. If you’re at home for family time, move the bike into the living room and peddle during family movie night. Or jump on Amazon and get a cheap rowing machine (there are a few economical ones that do a good job) to get some strokes during family time. The rowing machines fold down for easy storage and they work all your major muscle groups. If it’s warm enough, ride your bike to the family shopping destination. You can peddle home or plan for them to load the bike up and take you back after the shopping is finished. It’s hard but not impossible, and if you manage to maintain your base level of fitness, when it’s time to start training for that next race in January, you won’t be too miserable. Even if there are a few extra pounds to work off, those yoga pants will still fit.

Shannon BondWorking It This Holiday Season

Twas the week befoe Christmas, and all through the Joe,all the Joe’s were surprised by a mountain of snow!In was so unexpected, and oh, so alarming.What about Doppler Radar? What about Global Warming?Not a peep from the swallows out in Capistrano.Lame excuses from weatherman, Mike Bracciano!I had just settled down for long winter’s napwhen the first of the power-lines started to snap.I in my Led Zepplin t-shirt, bare-legged.The Queen has hot-flashes. (She often sleeps nekkid!).So we piled on the covers to wait out the storm,and did what we had to, to try to keep warm.The snow kept on falling as we drifted to sleep.We woke in the morning to learn just how deep!“No big deal” we all said, “We’ve had snowstorms before”.But this snow didn’t stop till it was over the door!The phone lines were dead and omong other hitches, there was no TV from our satellite dishes!The email was down and it made us quite bitter,to find there was no way to IM or twitter.And then an idea that made our hearts stop!THE SNOW WILL NOT LET US GET OUT TO GO SHOP!How can we spend ourselves further in debt,buying overpriced stuff that they’re soon to forget.We can’t buy the Snuggies or games from John Madden.Thery’ll be no more Ab-lounger stomachs to flatten.No new-fangled ball-caps with flashlights inserted.No Victoria’s Secrets to thrill the perverted.No specialty cheeses, all shaped like Kris Kringle.No vibrating slippers to give grandma a tingle.

Why, without buying junk no one wants, without reason,it won’t hardly seem like the holiday season!Yes, the Joes were all trapped just like rats in their houses,forced to spend time with their kids and their spouses!Without all the purchasing Christmas frustration,they had to resort to good ol’ conversation.They pulled out the board games. Some families played cards.They got reacquainted and let down their guards.They talked about things that had long gone unspoken.And repaired some relationships long ago broken.The rest of the week, it went by in a flash.Who knew fun could happen without spending cash?And then Christmas morning, just a little past dawn,the utility folks got the power back on!Electronics came back with the sound of a riot.We’d gotten so used to the peace and the quiet.And outside the window we heard such a treat,the snow plows were making their way down our street!Hooray! We can once again, shop till we drop!And we jumped in the car to head out to shop.But before we had even gotten out of our ‘hood,we realized, we’d never had it so good!So we turned it around and went back to our home.We were all by ourselves, but were never alone. We’d learned that our holiday was not about presents.When it comes to your family, it’s more about… presence.So hold on to these notions, as long as you might,And to all Joes in Joetown, have a most, silent night!
