Facts about HIV/AIDS and Older Adults:

• Between 11 and 15% of U.S. AIDS cases occur in people over age 50

,

• Between 1991 and 1996, AIDS cases in the over-50 population rose
more than twice as fast as those among younger adults

• Despite myths and stereotypes, many seniors are sexually active, and,
therefore, their behaviors can put them at risk for HIV infection

• Older individuals with HIV infection or AIDS are usually
invisible, isolated and ignored

Three Detroit-area fans work to advance and
preserve a uniquely American musical form.

SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to the Jewish News

oogie-woogie — the real
thing — is back.
The music that cheered
people through World War
II will be at the center of a piano con-
cert that begins 8:30 p.m. Saturday,
Nov. 3, at the Royal Oak Theatre and
a workshop that runs 2:30-4:30 p.m.
on the same day.
Five musicians headline the show,
sponsored by the American Music
Research Foundation, a local, non-
profit organization working to advance
and preserve American musical forms
and the work of the artists who popu-
larized them.
Playing the boogie-woogie keyboard
will be Jay McShann, Michael
Kaeshammer, Big Joe Duskin, Charlie
Booty and Mr. B.
Working behind the scenes in plan-
ning the third annual Motor City
Boogie Woogie Festival, and accompa-
nying workshop, are Ron Harwood,
Judy Greenwald and Keith Irtenkauf,
Jewish friends who became boogie-
woogie fans as they were growing up.
Proceeds will go to the New York
Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund
(the concert and workshop were post-
poned from their original Sept. 15
date because of the terrorist attacks on

New York and Washington, D.C.).
"It's hard to be down if you're listen-
ing to boogie-woogie," says Harwood,
owner of Illuminating Concepts in
Farmington Hills and a former work-
ing musician and concert producer.
"Boogie-woogie is the missing link
between blues, swing, rock 'n' roll and
modern jazz. It's the context out of
which many of the musical forms we
hear today on hit radio came from."
Irtenkauf, who played the trombone
in school and now works as a designer
at Illuminating Concepts, and
Greenwald, a boogie-woogie fan and
interior designer for her own Design
Alliance in Royal Oak, have been col-
lecting and building a boogie-woogie
memorabilia collection with Harwood.
While the process helped them
become familiar with the backgrounds
of the festival artists, they hold on to
the goal of cataloguing the materials
and making them available to per-
formers and fans.
"We prefer that the festival perform-
ers don't tells us what they will be
playing to add more interest for us,"
says Harwood, who has hosted a
world-music radio show on WQRS in
Detroit for two years and ran blues
workshops in association with music
festivals around the country.

trio of planners for their unique musi-
