Stone Church's new owner wants to lease music club

Here's your chance to rent a party hall....

Stone Church's new owner wants to lease music club

Kristan and Cathy of Bliss play at the first Little River Fest

As if it wasn't outstanding enough that Stan Barker got Dave Gerard and Mike & Sean of Northern Roots to play, these two finished the afternoon just fine.

ChickenJam favorites Mike & Sean perform as an acoustic duo in Lee, NH

Gotta love these guys! Michael Tero and Sean Yadisernia are core musicians of the band Northern Roots.

It was awful close to raining on this event: The First Annual Little River Fest, but didn't. There is a retired gravel pit in Lee, NH which is on its way to becoming recreational fields for the community. The festival is a celebration of this effort. As you see in the video, there is still work to do.

In addition to them they had music from Dave Gerard of Truffle and Kristan Bishop & Cathy O'Brien of Bliss.

Anyhow, enjoy the vid.

This year marks our fourth year of having a corn maze! Each spring we plant a very large corn
field. When the corn grows to about knee high, it is transformed into a corn maze. Our maze is
professionally designed and cut. We give the company our idea of what we would like for a corn
maze design, and they translate that into our corn field to produce a maze!

This year for 2008 our design for the corn maze is "Dragonflies"!

In October, please join us for the most exciting and unique haunted attraction in New England!
Voted one of America's best haunts, Haunted Overload at Coppal House Farm is the Ultimate
Halloween Experience! Please check our website often for dates and ticketing information.

Coppal House Farm & Corn Maze is a great way to spend the day! We can accommodate large or
small groups, and are available for private events. It is the ideal place for school field trips,
groups, and company outings.

The Big Chicken
Big Chicken
Building Information
Name	The Big Chicken
Location	Marietta, Georgia
Country	United States
Architect	Hubert Puckett
Client	Tubby Davis
Completion Date	1963 (The Big Chicken structure)

The Big Chicken is a KFC restaurant in Marietta, Georgia, which features a large steel-sided structure designed in the appearance of a chicken rising up from the top of the building. It is located at the city's biggest intersection of Cobb Parkway (US 41) and Roswell Road (S. R. 120) and is a well-known landmark in the area. The exact address is 12 Cobb Pkwy N, Marietta GA 30062.

[edit] History

In 1963, Johnny Reb's Chick, Chuck and Shake owner S.R. "Tubby" Davis erected the 56-foot (17-meter) tall structure over his restaurant as a method of advertising. It was designed by Hubert Puckett, a Georgia Tech student of architecture, and fabricated by Atlantic Steel in nearby Atlanta (of which Marietta is a suburb). Davis later sold it to his brother, and it became a franchise of KFC.

In January 1993, storm winds damaged the structure, and rather than tear it down KFC was forced by public outcry to re-erect the building. Among those who complained about the Big Chicken being torn down were pilots, who actually used the building as a reference point when approaching Atlanta and Dobbins Air Reserve Base.^[1] The new Big Chicken even includes the original design of beak and eyes which move, although this time the vibrations which plagued the first structure (even to the point of breaking windows) have been eliminated.

It has also led to a small cottage industry of sorts, selling souvenirs emblazoned with the monument, including one sweatshirt showing Big Ben in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, and of course, the Big Chicken in Marietta. The Big Chicken is commonly used as a landmark for directions. Locals will often include "At the Big Chicken, make a ..."

It IS really easy.
Just give yourself some time to play with the software.

What is Audacity?
Do I need any other software with it?

Audacity is a free shareware for recording and mixing audio tracks from different sources.

You can download and install it from http://audacity.sourceforge.net. Choose earlier, more stable version (not beta).

You can export mixed tracks from Audacity into a WAV file. WAV file is large, but it is suitable for putting on CD and playing in the studio. Export WAV function always worked better in Audacity.

If you want to export the mixed tracks into more compact MP3 files, you might need to download and hook up some plug-ins.

Also, there is a number of audio conversion software packages, which will allow you to convert WAV into MP3 files of different resolutions (resolution for on-line archives should be lower for comfortable listening)

Warnings

‡ Audacity is a space monger. 20 min project can take almost 1 GB.

‡ Audacity slows down and sometimes crashes if you mix more then 12 tracks. SAVE FREQUENTLY.

‡ It is the best to keep each project no longer than 30 min of several mixed tracks.

Back to TOC
What hardware do I need to mix my show?

Condenser microphone (like in the studio) with a stand

Amplifier (also called ‘voice warmer’. I use Tube Ultragain MIC200 by Behringer, which I bought for $50 at Junky Daddy’s).

Cords (mike – to - amplifier, amplifier – to - audio-in)

Decent quality earphones (I have Berhinger HPS3000, which costed me $20 at the above mentioned store)

Figure 1

What does Audacity create when I record and mix my show?

When you initially open Audacity, its window is blank.

Each time you press Record button (red circle), Audacity creates a new track with the recording of your voice. Also, it creates a new track each time you import an audio file (MP3 or WAV; it is done by selecting Project -> Import Audio).

Audacity’s window will appear to you as a bunch of separate tracks after you record your voice and import other audio tracks. You are free to move those tracks along the time line, cut them down, change volume, do fade in/outs.

However, when you export the Audacity tracks into WAV (File -> Export WAV…), Audacity will merge all the tracks into a single track.

Save Audacity project frequently (File -> Save Project).

The Audacity project will appear in the directory you saved it in as WhateverIsName.AUP and additional directory WhateverIsName_data. The additional directory _data is a database of sound segments, DO NOT DELETE IT while you still need your project.

Back to TOC

Audacity Track

Audacity track has a little gray area with controls on the left side.

Next to X symbol is the name of the track. Click on it and type the name you want. If you import audio, the track will have the name of the imported audio file.

Next to the track name there is a triangle. If you click on it, you will see two important functions – Move track up and Move track down. If you select one of those commands, the track will jump up or down vertically above/below the next track.

There are also Mute and Solo buttons. They are self-explanatory for DJs. However, whatever the state of the track is, when you export your final project into a WAV file, the Audacity ignores Mute and Solo (get rid of the unwanted tracks before exporting into WAV!)

Warning

Do not press X symbol. It is not close, it is DELETE!

Back to TOC

Adjust the quality of your voice on future recordings

Adjustment of recording volume and sound quality of your voice can be done with the voice amplifier. After you hook up all the hardware, record your voice, listen back and adjust the controls on the voice amplifier.

When you reach the quality of sound you like, leave the amplifier settings as is.

The rest of adjustments will be done in Audacity: it will be mostly volume adjustment via Effect -> Amplify… function.

Figure 2

Basic steps for mixing the show

1. Prepare the script/outline

2. Select music (CDs, MP3s)

3. Record your voice, edit it

4. Create fade-in, fade-outs between musical pieces and/or voice

5. Export project into WAV file

6. Burn CD

Tips

I prefer to mix separate 15-20min segments (one Audacity project per segment): Part1, Part2, Part3, etc. In this way, you can easily comply with the station’s requirements to announce hour/station id/calendar every 15-20 min without pausing your prerecorded show.

Back to TOC

Edit verbal bloopers and long pauses

1. Click on Selection Tool.

2. Click on the track which you want to edit.

3. Select the part to delete and click Cut icon (scissors)
How to select a part of the track: left-button click the mouse, keep it pressed and drag it along the track to the point where the selection should end. If you click Play button, if will replay the selection. If you click Cut, it will delete the selection.

Tips

Audacity understands the same keyboard short-cuts as any editing software:
Ctrl-C copy
Ctrl-V Paste
Ctrl-Z undo the last action.

Back to TOC

Add music and other audio files

It is the easiest if your music is in MP3 or WAV.

Use Project -> Import Audio to import the outside file. Once imported, it shows up as just another track in the Audacity project.

If the audio file is in the format unknown to Audacity and can not be imported to Audacity, play it on your computer’s media player and record it in Audacity. See Record from internet & computer’s music player.

Tips

If you want to import a file, just drag-and-drop MP3 and/or WAV file into Audacity window.

Back to TOC

Record from internet, internet phone or computer’s music player

Basically you can record any sound which comes through your computer’s soundboard: music played on iTunes, Windows Media Player, internet phone conversation (alas, ONLY the party you call to), internet streaming audio.

1. Select Stereo Mix in Input Type drop-down menu (Fig. 1)

2. Record the source (Buttons: red circle – start, yellow square – stop)

Tips

· Record for a few seconds from the source and adjust the volume of recording (slider with loudspeaker, Fig 2)

· If for some reason recording is not working, reselect Stereo Mix from the dropdown.

Figure 3

Back to TOC

Idea for recording phone interviews with Audacity any time

Sometimes your interviewees are not available during your show time. Here is how I rigged the phone interview recorded with Audacity and Skype (or any other on-line phone service). Skype, by the way, is very cheap.

Warning

Alas, only your interviewee’s voice will be heard and recorded.

Both you and your interviewee have to have two phones. You dial one phone normally (for asking the questions) and another phone via Skype (for listening and recording answers). You interviewee uses two phones, too – for listening the questions and for answering into the phone dialed by you via Skype.

Or

You can e-mail the questions in advance, dial the interviewee via Skype and record his answers. You will be able to hear your interviewee through computer speakers.

For the recording instructions see Record from internet, internet phone or computer’s music player

Back to TOC

Mixing voice and music tracks

To adjust the time position of a track in relation to other tracks

1. Click Move Track tool (Figure 4)

2. Select the track

3. Press the left button on your mouse and drag the track to the appropriate time position

To fade-in and to fade-out music (or any audio track)

1. Click Control Fade-in/Fade-out tool (Figure 4)

2. Select the track

3. Click on two spots on the blue border surrounding the track (beginning & end of fade-in/fade-out). You can move each spot vertically and horizontally to adjust the duration and steepness of sound change.

4. Select the segment you are working with and press Play to listen to results. If you are not happy, repeat the steps. To move the tracks see the section above.

Tips

If you select just one spot on the blue border and move it down to ‘shrink’ the track, you are adjusting the volume of the whole track. This way of adjusting the volume of the track is more flexible than Effect -> Amplify function.

Figure 4

Back to TOC

Exporting the ready audio mix

1. Save the project

2. Select File -> Export as WAV…

3. Choose name and directory of the exported single file

Tips

You can export separate tracks by selecting File -> Export Multiple.

Splitting recordings into separate tracks - Audacity Wiki

Splitting recordings into separate tracks - Audacity Wiki

Since our friend Karl The Taper was kind enough to furnish to us .wav file of ChickenJam 8, I figured that I'd look into how to break up the tracks. I think that it could be done in iTunes but I am giving the freeware Audacity a try. My first goal is to separate the tracks-hopefully the Wiki above is all I need.

The Executive Summary of ChickenJam 8

Chuck's Other Band decided it was too early to play at 2 pm so the music didn't really start until 3. ChuckJam will just have to be its own event. He has a great place for it too!

Band 1: POB (Pat's Other Band) aka Absence of Alice



Band 2: Northern Roots (without Rob Kneeland on drums)



Band 3: Zeb Cruikshank turns 30, flies in from Minnesota and gives us sweet little show. Note that Doug, the drummer from Rhythm Ship, has never even met Zeb until an hour before the performance. Jess, who sings with him in Minnesota, delivered some stunning vocals



Band 4: Acoustic Hoof - Unplucked!!

This became largely a fine showing of Dave Marshall's roots. Tastes like Chicken. A slightly quieter version of our house band Hoof.



Band 5: Back 40

Take some Northern Roots and some Big Chicken. Mix 'em up good and you get Back 40 (pronounced Back Foddy). Lights by State Prison Light Show.



Band 6: Hoof

This is the original evolution of Big Chicken that started it all.

Here they are a few weeks before the party



and kickin' butt at the party



Here they are playing David Marshall's Young Man:



Bonus performance: Sean Yadisernia from 10 pm till 1:45 am

Unstoppable.



Well, some of this performance was in the bar

Despite the rain, ChickenJam faithfuls head to see Truffle at the Deerfield Fair

We were not strong in numbers but not short on vibe. I have never seen the fair so empty on a Friday night. But then, I have never gone while it rained enough to flood the walkways (over 3" in places).


Electric Truffle was playing in the bandstand (close to some great apple crisp) and sounded great! The PA is powerful and the band was on. Nearly everybody in the crowd had been to CJ8 and it made for a warm cozy feeling. Gotta love the old-school bumper sticker too:


Acoustic Truffle will be back at the fair on Sunday.

I think there is a banjo contest at the fair that day too.

ps Thanks to the band for playing my request!

Pat's Other Band

Patrick McNeil is the drummer in Hoof, Back Forty and the original Big Chicken. Pat's Other Band is possibly now known as Absence of Alice but I'm sticking with POB.

They have played at several ChickenJams going back till 2004. Refreshingly old school but not stale. Some of their jams are quite intricate.

Enjoy some Northern Roots (unRobbed....)

Mike Tero, Sean Yadisernia and Keith Foley took charge early at ChickenJam 8. Yes, we did miss Rob Kneeland and wish he could have drummed & sang, but these three did quite well.

Doors to remain open at Stone Church: New owners ensure the music plays on at storied venue

By Ryan Alan Contributing writer

Article Date: Thursday, September 25, 2008

The beat goes on at the Stone Church in Newmarket.

Of all the storied performances through the years at the Seacoast's beloved venue, it could be argued that the most important one took place earlier this month.

It was delivered a cappella style by the auctioneer who cried out at the Sept 12 foreclosure auction, "You bought it!" to bidders Scott Orlosk and Adam Schroadter. The crowd, knowing the men's intention to keep the building a concert venue, cheered and clapped as if one of the world famous entertainers who have graced the stage in the past had just walked out for an encore.

More than an encore, the transaction — $195,000, plus $16,762 in back taxes — represents a new chapter in the long history of the Church, bringing some of the best and brightest of the music world to the Seacoast's backyard and potential positive economic news along with it.

"It's more than just a building, it's an important part of the New Hampshire Seacoast," said Orlosk, whose primary residence is in Londonderry, N.H., but who also has a house on Salisbury Beach from which he works in summers.

He had been president and chief operating officer of AutoFair Automotive Group in he Manchester, N.H. Since selling his interests in 2006, he has been consulting and, he said, "trying to be patient." He recently started acquiring properties. "I've not worked in music or entertainment before, but it looks like I will soon," he added. "We'll definitely have professional management in there." At press time, no decision had been made as to who that team would be and future shows were on hold until that announcement comes.

"We appreciate the hard work the former owners put in, and if they can play a role in the new effort, that would be great," Orlosk said.

"We are pleased that Scott and Adam purchased the Church in the interest of preserving the Stone Church Music Club. I think it will be a significant benefit to local entertainment life in the greater Seacoast area to have them invested in the music industry through the icon of the Stone Church," said Newmarket resident and former owner John Pasquale, president of Ragnarok Enterprises Inc., the corporation that had done business as The Stone Church. "I'm looking forward to some great music experiences up on the hill in the future!"

Schroadter, who moved to Newmarket in the spring of this year from Park City, Utah, by way of Los Angeles, was introduced to the area by his in-laws who are history professors at the University of New Hampshire. "My wife and I fell in love with the lifestyle and the location. We really feel most comfortable in Newmarket and the Seacoast," he said.

He operates Mission Investments LLC that manages a national portfolio of property investments. He previously was director of marketing for the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. Prior to that he worked in marketing and promotions for A.E.G. at the Staples Center and for the Los Angeles Kings.

He said he and Orlosk were brought together by a group of influential and philanthropic community members in Newmarket who formed a committee called the Friends of the Stone Church. "Together we wanted to make sure that Newmarket held on to The Stone Church," he said.

Orlosk said he only had been to a few shows but "one was enough to realize that this was something special."

The local community really wanted the music to continue, he said.

"The list of greats who have played and continue to play the Stone Church is impressive," he said. There was a chance the building could have been purchased by someone with intentions other than music, he acknowledged. "The building is incredibly solid and in amazing condition. A series of quality renovations have modernized its function. The building itself is pretty sweet," he said.

Orlosk said that at no time did he and Schroadter consider using the building for anything but music. They did consider what someone else might want to do with it. "Since the building is so solid and the spaces are big, we thought (someone might think) it would make a wild residence: high ceilings, stone, the history and big spaces in a nice community might be attractive."

The new owners do plan eventually to take advantage of the building's upstairs with activities that complement the live music.

"Recording and other media production seem to make sense. Some artists have said they would love to do it. (Epping) Musician Art Murphy (of Thumbprint Productions) has also been working on the concept for a while. Music education also fits. We'll make sure we get the live music experience right before we start anything new," Orlosk said.

The future of restaurant service in the concert venue is uncertain. The owners said they would find a way to deliver what their customers want. "If they tell us they want us to do a restaurant, we'll get it done," Orlosk assured. "I'm not a restaurant guy. I know a couple of the best, and it's a hard business to do well. I've seen it done well and I wouldn't be satisfied with less. That would mean bringing in a pro. I'm okay with that."

Not only are he and Schroadter okay with continuing to showcase local musicians, along with regional and national acts, it is an important part of their game plan. "We want artists to be thrilled to play the Church," Orlosk said. "I think the local and regional musicians and national tours will love how they are treated, love the venue and speak well of us in their travels. All the greats started as locals didn't they?"

The owners said they are aware people are anxious to hear what is coming next. "We'll get it all together as quickly as we can, but we think it's smart to get it right. We'll make sure it's done well. We did what we had to do to buy The Stone Church, a much treasured music venue and cultural icon," Orlosk said. "Next, we'll put together a quality team and go from there. I hope that we'll be able to give everyone some big news in the next couple of weeks. We're excited to have found a way to save The Stone Church. It's going to be great!"

Nice tribute video to The Stone Church

Not much to say, just watch it.

Sean Yadisernia owned the last third of ChickenJam 8

Was it enough to play in two of the ChickenJam bands? Not for Sean. He took the stage at 10pm or so after we had kinda called it quits with amplified music. He nearly recrafted a band until prominent women from our tribe assured us it was a bad idea to continue loud.

Unplugging Sean has little effect on his conduct. Give him his guitar, stick him in the bar area, and the party goes on. I gave up at about 1:30 and he was still rocking.

Hoof Plays Disco Funk Boogie at ChickenJam 8

It wouldn't be ChickenJam without this fine piece. If you find it haunting you-especially "look at me I'm dancing" - don't panic. This is normal.

If filmed this from the stand that The State Prison Light Show was using for the outstanding light projection show.

The Other ChickenJam

There is a snowboard event for women called Roxy ChickenJam. I think they own chickenjam.com and probably chickenjam.eu. I just tried the dot com one and nothing loaded.
