HEADING INTO FALL...
“THE VOICE” – SARAH JERROM
She is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has been creating wonderful music for
two decades and continues to attract critical praise from around the globe. Her
latest CD, Dream Logic, is a collection of original songs (Things That Came Out of
the Sea is our favourite) recorded by her contemporary jazz quartet also known as
Dream Logic – a tribute to director David Lynch, whose work she admires.
Jerrom is at her best when she creatively has no genre boundaries to hold her
in, something her latest CD illustrates. And the voice, it can lead you on a musical
journey enhanced by the musicians backing her. Sarah Jerrom is an artist who
deserves to be heard by more music lovers.

“THE READ” – MY PLACE IN THE SUN BY GEORGE STEVENS JR.
His career has been legendary, made more unique by the fact that his father was a
legend too. George Stevens Jr. grew up in the “Golden Era” of Hollywood watching
his father, Oscar-winner George Stevens
Sr. direct classic movies like Swing Time
(1936), Gunga Din (1939) The More
the Merrier (1943), A Place in the Sun
(1951), Shane (1953), Giant (1956)
and The Diary of Anne Frank (1959).
When “Jr” was old enough (after working
with his dad on some of those movies),
he started directing and producing
as well, including over 300 short documentaries
for the United States Information
Agency. He also founded the American Film Institute,
created of the AFI Life Achievement Award, and The
Kennedy Center Honors. Now George Stevens Jr., at 90,
has written his story (including that of his theatrical/filmrich
family dating back to the mid-1800’s) called My Place
in the Sun. It’s a fascinating account of life in another era
of Hollywood and JFK’s Washington. The main takeaway
for us is how much father and son loved and respected
each, a rarity in Hollywood memoirs.
