ART IN THE PARK
n Ohio ceramist who makes menorot and
a Farmington Hills teen band that plays
its own music represent the range of talent
to be featured at the 29th annual Common
Ground Sanctuary Art in the Park.
The fair, with more than 185 juried artists as well
as entertainment and a food concourse, runs Sept.
20-21 in Birmingham's Shain Park. The event will
raise funds for programs helping Oakland County
youths, adults and families in crisis.
The fair, with no admission charge, also
includes a silent auction with donated art from
exhibiting artists, a children's area with hands-on
activities and an art showcase of projects by stu-
dents with disabilities.
"I make everyday objects with unusual shapes,"
says Lisa Goldberg, \\,-ho has shown her pottery at
other art fairs around Michigan. "I use baking
soda and salt to coat everything with a layer of
glass and bring out spectacular colors."
Goldberg will have only one contemporary
menorah for this show but will bring other can-
dleholders
vases and
platters.
'Eve
I do is one-
of-a-kind,"
says
Goldberg,
who will be
surrounded
by artists in a
variety of
media from
paintings to
Lisa Goldberg's pottery
fiber.
All Rights
Reserved, a band whose four members are juniors
at Harrison High School, will be performing four
of six songs in their demo CD and an additional
mix of new songs. Lead singer Drew Mayberry,
the only group member who is not Jewish, writes
the words, while the music comes from all the
members, including Matt Clark (lead guitar), Eli
Clark (bass/vocals) and Jeff Ceresnie (drums).
"The lyrics may be sad sounding, but the
music is loud and powerful," Matt Clark says.
"Our songs are very emotional with lots of
punch."
Band members, hoping to become professional
after high school, have performed at U.S. Blades
in West Bloomfield and will be part of a
Halloween show on the University of Michigan
campus.
"Our music is for teens and people in their
20s," Matt Clark says. "Music is our life."

JEWS IN THE NEWS
Legendary folk-rock duo Paul Simon and Art
Garfunkel, reuniting for "Old Friends," a tour starting
at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Oct. 18, say they will
perform mostly songs from their five albums together.
Paul and Artie are so close they're almost like sib-
lings, ones who quarrel and patch things up eventu-
ally. Both are from middle-claK, Jewish backgrounds;
both had grandparents who were immigrants
(Simon from Hungary, Garfunkel from Romania);
they are the same age (62); and they have known
and played with each other since junior high school.
They broke up in 1972 because Simon wanted to
move in musical directions Garfunkel disliked. They
had a deal stating they would have equal say in their
recording efforts. Paul, who wrote the songs, ended

the partnership rather than be subject to Artie's veto
power over their joint projects.
They have reunited before. However, Artie and
Paul always seem to say something about their rela-
tionship that has ticked the other one off, leading to
long sounds of silence.
Paul told the audience at the news conference that
their joint appearance at the 2003 Grammys broke
the ice and they reconciled.
Artie said, "It's family, the two of us. Our moms
know each other. They're still alive. There has been a
deep, buried affection for the last decade or so and it
was the Grammys that forced it out of burial."
Both Artie and Paul, by the way, "played" the
celebrity" seders that bandleader Paul Shaeffer
(now music director of the Letterman show) held for
