DAVID BRUCE: SPOKEN WORD
Sharing Charity
Mother Teresa learned that a Hindu family of eight was without food and had been hungry a long time. Immediately, she brought the family some rice. The mother of the family took the rice, divided it into two equal portions, and gave one of the portions to a hungry Muslim family of eight who lived next door. (200)
A Very Dirty White Collar
Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who was later to be Pope John XXIII, served as the Patriarch of Venice, where he once noticed a priest wearing a very dirty white collar. Instead of openly criticizing the priest, Patriarch Roncalli said to him, “I have at home a whole dozen snow-white collars which have become too tight for me. If you would permit me, I should like to make you a present of them.” (201)
“I Can Do Better Than That”
One day, Pope John XXIII was getting out of his car when a priest asked him to pray for a paralyzed woman who lived nearby. The Pope said, “I can do better than that,” then he ordered the driver to take him to the paralyzed woman, who was delighted to meet and talk with him. (202)
“No One will Notice”
Guiseppe Melchiorre Sarto pawned his possessions and gave the money to the poor. When he was elected Pope, he took the name of Pius X and wore an inexpensive tin cross to announce his election because earlier he had pawned his silver Episcopal cross to give the money to the poor. However, the cheap tin cross did not bother him. He said, “No one will notice. It looks quite like the real thing.” (203)
A Blessing for a Car
Father Bob Perella once blessed a car for restaurant owner Danny Stradella, but later he heard that the car had been demolished in an accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but Father Bob worried what Mr. Stradella would say to him the next day he met—even though the priest didn’t give guarantees with his blessings. As it turned out, the priest need not have worried. Mr. Stradella told him, “Thank God you blessed my car that day. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t be here talking to you!” (204)
Umbrellas for Servants
In feudal Japan, noblemen determined the way their servants lived. One nobleman decreed that his servants would not be allowed to use umbrellas; however, his servants simply kept their umbrellas at the houses of their friends, and used them whenever it rained. An illiterate servant girl brought her umbrella to Zen master Hakuin and asked him to write her name on it; however, Hakuin instead wrote, “Whether it rains or pours, I won’t disobey my employer.” Of course, the first time it rained and she used the umbrella, people laughed at the inscription, knowing that she was disobeying her employer by using the umbrella. Hakuin later visited the nobleman, reminded him that servants are also people who need shelter from the rain, and convinced him to allow his servants to use umbrellas. (207)
“The First Wild Goose!”
Lord Mihara once ordered an artist to create a painting for him. The artist painted a single wild goose, but this did not please the Lord Mihara, who felt that since geese fly side by side, a single wild goose was a sign of rebellion. The frightened attendants of Lord Mihara sought help from Zen master Motsugai, who came to the lord’s palace, glanced at the painting, then wrote at its top: “The first wild goose! / Another and another and another / In endless succession.” This drove all fear of rebellion out of Lord Mihara’s mind, and he handsomely rewarded both the painter and the Zen master. (208)

THE LOCAL GIRLS
OFFICIAL WEBSITE
THE LOCAL GIRLS COME OUT SWINGING!
Formed on a summer’s night in Athens, Ohio in 1988, the three singers—Brenda Catania, Gay Dalzell, and Mimi Hart—had all been touring and recording for years and were ready to pour their energies into some music that was, well, local. Although their musical experiences were varied, all three shared an enthusiasm for close harmony, for the ineffable thrill of creating a smooth or jumping song, chord by chord. Each woman remains stylistically distinctive, but together they create a vibrant, balanced blend—and they have contagious fun doing it.
Although much of their material focuses on the hot and vampy swing tunes of the 30s and 40s (The Boswells, The Jimmy Lunsford Trio, and The Rhythm Boys), they also pursue their eclectic musical interests by performing their own arrangements of jazz, cowpoke, bebop, blues, standards and an occasional psychedelic hit. Their repertoire spins through a century of moving American song.
Before returning to Athens to raise her family, Brenda had worked primarily in Boston and San Francisco, doing cabaret, musical theater, rock and roll and with the performance art groups, Nuclear Beauty Parlor and the Monster Girls. Gay toured extensively, singing a range from bluegrass to blues. A featured member of The Appalachian Green Parks Project, she continues her popular folk/jazz duo work with her husband, the singer/songwriter Bruce Dalzell. Mimi began performing with her sisters at six; later, she worked out of Athens, New York City, and Cleveland, heading up and down the East coast and across the country with Hotcakes, the Bopcats, David Bromberg, the Allman Brothers and others.
The Local Girls’ gifted accompanists have deep resumes as well. Mike McGannon, a creative Ohio mainstay on guitars and banjo, was the musical director of The Angels, and has toured with The Drifters and The Coasters, as well as playing on countless recordings. Terry Douds, a sought-after clinician and engineer/producer, is an outstanding bass player, having toured the U.S., Europe and Asia with The Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Woody Herman Orchestra, the Ink Spots, The Columbus Symphony and more.
The Local Girls have opened for the Platters, Lonestar, and Chubby Checker, and entertained the troops surrounding Air Force One. They’ve sung for two award-winning PBS documentary series. With The Lark Quartet, The Local Girls premiered a new birthday song, “Your Trip Around the Sun”, at Hillary Clinton’s fiftieth birthday gala in Washington D.C. They toured Europe with Ohio University singers, performed in The East Room at The White House for candlelight festivities and were guests on The Prairie Home Companion at Town Hall in NYC.

Review of The Local Girls’ LET YOURSELF GO
This is a very listenable album with covers of notable songs by such music luminaries as Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, JD Hutchison, and Bruce Dalzell. I especially like “Where the Girls Are” and “I Feel Free.”
Three singers — Brenda Catania, Gay Dalzell, and Mimi Hart — formed The Local Girls in the summer of 1988 in Athens County, Ohio. They have performed at Town Hall in New York City as guests of A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor, toured Europe, and sang for Hillary Clinton’s 50th birthday party. In addition, they have recorded two albums: Let Yourself Go (2000) and Three Little Words (2011). How to best describe them? Swing singers, yes. Vocal jazz, yes. Certainly, they perform precision, three-part harmony as they cover older and newer songs. The chronology of their repertoire ranges from 1854 (Stephen Foster’s “Hard Times Come Again No More” — no, not on this album) to the 1990s (T. Bone Burnett’s “It’s Not Too Late” — yes, on this album).
These are the songs on Let Yourself Go:
“Shout Sister Shout.” Recorded in the 1930s by the Boswell Sisters, a close harmony group. Very jazzy and tuneful. Some lyrics: “Just tell old Satan how you feel / Get that old Devil right off your heel / Shout sister, shout sister, shout!”
“Centerpiece.” Recorded by Lambert, Hendricks and Ross in 1960 on the album titled Lambert, Hendricks and Ross! The Hottest New Group in Jazz. This title is an example of proper (earned) pride. Notably covered by Van Morrison. Some lyrics: “The more I’m with you, pretty baby / The more I feel my love increase / I’m building all my dreams around you / My happiness will never cease / But nothing’s any good without you / ’Cause, baby, you’re my centerpiece.”
“Stay A Little Longer.” Some lyrics: “Stay a little longer / A little bit longer / You know you ain’t got nothing better to do / We’ll blindfold the cat / Put out the dog / Pull the shades and lock the door.” Written by Paula Lockhart with additional lyrics by David Lister. One of my favorites on this album.
“I’ll Never Say ‘Never Again’ Again.” Notably recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio, the Three Ambassadors, Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra, and many more. Some lyrics: “I’ll never say ‘never again’ again / ’Cause here I am in love again / Head over heels in love again with you / I’ll never say, ‘never kiss you’ again / ’Cause here I am kissing you again / That’s just the thing I said I’d never do.”
“I Feel Free.” The Cream song, written by Pete Brown and Jack Bruce. The Local Girls’ version is much less rock and much more harmonic. Some lyrics: “I can walk down the street, there’s no one there / Though the pavements are one huge crowd. / I can drive down the road, my eyes don’t see, / Though my mind wants to cry out loud.”
“Since My Bird Has Flied Away.” The composer, J.D. Hutchison, sings lead, backed up by The Local Girls. A different version of “Since My Bird Has Flied Away” appears on J.D. Hutchison’s album You and the World Outside. Some lyrics: “Pour some more coffee in my coffee cup / I don’t know why, I don’t even like the stuff / But nothing seems to matter / Since my bird has flied away.” The bird, of course, is a woman. Another of my favorites.
“Let Yourself Go.” The Irving Berlin song. Ginger Rogers sang this song, and — of course — danced to it with Fred Astaire. Some lyrics: “Come / Get together / Let the dance floor feel your leather / Step as lightly as a feather / Let yourself go / Come / Hit the timber / Loosen up and start to limber / Can’t you hear that hot marimba? / Let yourself go.”
“Where The Boys Are.” Written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield for the 1960 movie of the same title, starring Connie Francis, Yvette Mimieux, Paula Prentiss, and Dolores Hart. My personal favorite on this Local Girls album. Some lyrics: “Where the boys are / Someone waits for me, / A smiling face, a warm embrace, / Two arms to hold me tenderly. / Where the boys are / My true love will be, / He’s walking down some street in town / And I know he’s looking there for me.”
“Ready On The Firing Line.” Another great song by JD Hutchison. Some lyrics: “In this world / You’ve got to be ready / Got to have everything just so / You’ve got to be ready just to hang around / Or you’ve got to be ready to go / You’ve got to be ready just to hear the word / You must be ready to read the sign / You must be ready on the left / Ready on the right / Ready on the firing line.”
“The Bozo Blues.” A song by Bruce Dalzell, Gay Dalzell’s husband. Bruce and Gay have made a lot of excellent music in Athens County, Ohio, for decades. This is a bluesy, humorous song about going to Chicago to be on The Bozo Show. Some lyrics: “I’m going to Chicago / Be on that Bozo Show / Yeah, I’m going to Chicago / Be on that B-B-Bozo Show / Yeah, I don’t know where Chicago is / But, mama, I got to go.”
“It’s Not Too Late.” The T-Bone Burnett song. Some lyrics: “The wind turns like a dagger, / the rain falls like a hammer / The sky has grown dark but it’s not too late / The weather crashes down, what’s lost cannot be found / The night is closing but it’s not too late.”
“I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart.” A hit for Patsy Montana & The Prairie Ramblers. Some lyrics: “I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart / I want to learn to rope and to ride / I want to ride o’er the plains and the desert / Out west of the great divide / I want to hear the coyotes howlin’ / While the sun sets in the West / I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart / That’s the life that I love best.” Lots of yodeling on this one.
“The Blue Shadows On The Trail.” A Roy Rogers song. Some lyrics: “Blue shadows on the trail / Blue moon shinin’ through the trees / And a plain tiff wail from the distance / Comes a driftin’ on the evening breeze.”
“Caravan.” The Duke Ellington song. Some lyrics: “Night and stars above that shine so bright / The mystery of their fading light / That shines upon our Caravan / Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep / Across the sands so I may keep / The memory of our Caravan.”
“Mothra vs. Godzilla.” The main title of the 1964 Japanese monster movie of the same name. On Rotten Tomatoes, 90 percent of the critics like the movie. If nothing else, this song proves that The Local Girls are eclectic. Do you speak Monster? I don’t. Look for lyrics elsewhere.
Readers of this review should make heavy use of Amazon’s preview snippets of The Local Girls’ songs on this page.
The Local Girls ought to be famous, but one problem with Athens County is that it’s such a good place to live that excellent music-makers often stay here rather than moving to Nashville, NYC, or LA to seek fame and fortune. Lots of musicians choose to raise their kids in Athens County.
Support local music, and be aware that in the age of the Internet and the WWW, Athens County is local worldwide.
