Arts & Life 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." — Suzanne Chessler Common Ground Sanctuary Art in the Park runs 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20-21, in Birmingham's ShaM Park.

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 Evolution, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Borders Birmingham. (248) 203-0005.

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 Saturday Night Live cast and guests, an annual event CC FYI: For Arts and Entertainment related events that you wish to have considered for Out & About, please send the item, with a detailed description of the event, times, dates, place, ticket prices and publishable phone number, to: Gail Zimmerman, JN Out & About, The Jewish News, 29200 Northwestern Highway, Suite 110, Southfield, MI 48034; fax us at (248) 304-8885; or e-mail to gzimmerman@thejewishnews.com Notice must be received at least three weeks before the scheduled event.
