concert associations.
The Limeliters launched their
career in 1959 at San Francisco's
famous hungry i and soon emerged
as a dominant voice in the Sixties
iblk music scene. Their string of
best-selling albums, appearances
on major television shows and their
rendition of the jingle, "Things Go
Better With Coke," made them a
household name.
The most well-known member
of the group, Glenn Yarbrough, left
for a highly successful solo career
and The Limeliters have changed
their lineup over the years, but
the group hasn't deviated from the
sound it pioneered.
RICK CROWDER, known as
Sourdough Slim on stage, is a fast-
paced funnyman who is also an
award-winning yodeler. He sets
his ramblings of western lore to
the loping rhythm of cowboy tunes.
He spent much of his childhood on
a family cattle ranch in the Sierra
foothills but explains, "My true
calling as a cowboy was not on the
range but rather on the stage."
He performed with several trav-
eling western bands in the Seven-
ties and Eighties and then came
up with the idea of melding his
experiences into a solo act based
on a whimsical accordion-playing
yodeling cowhand. It's taken him
to venues as varied as the Kennedy
Center in Washington, D.C., Carn-
egie Hall and the Lincoln Center in
New York and the National Cow-
boy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Ne-
vada.
The California Guitar Trio, con-
sisting of Paul Richards of Salt
Lake City, Bert Lams of Brussels
and Hideyo Moriya of Tokyo, fuses
classical, rock, blues, jazz, world
music, progressive and California
surf music. The group has toured
extensively in the U.S., Japan and
Europe and had its music featured
on major TV networks, including
in television coverage of the 1998,
2000, 2002 and 2004 Olympic
Games.
The trio performed on the 2003
Grammy Award-nominated track
"Apollo" on Tony Levin's com-
pact disc, Pieces of the Sun, and
its recordings have been heard in
outer space as wake-up music for
the crew aboard the space shuttle
Endeavor. The three first met in
England at a Robert Fripp guitar
course in 1987 and formed the
trio in 1991. They've released 11
compact discs since then, featur-
ing their own work as well as such
classical music as Bach's Toccata
and Fugue and Beethoven's Fifth
Symphony.
THE 11-MEMBER French
Chamber Orchestra, equally at
home with baroque, classical, ro-
mantic and contemporary music,
performs regularly with French
soloists and conductors all over
Europe and made its U.S. debut at
the Lincoln Center in 2002. In 2005
the orchestra performed at the Na-
tional Gallery in Washington, D.C.,
and with the Baltimore Choral Arts
Society, then performed in Mexico
City at the start of a 2006-2007
season that saw the group tour the
U.S. and Canada as well.
Founded in 1989, the ensem-
ble is based in Senlis, near Paris,
where it is the resident orchestra of
the 18th Century Theatre Imperial
in Compige. It takes particular
pleasure in bringing forgotten mas-
terpieces to life.
Misty River is a four-woman
acoustic quartet from the Pacific
Northwest who arrange their own
material, which includes original
songs, traditional numbers and
songs from a variety of genres. The
four are best known fbr their vocal
harmonies in which each member
contributes a different lead vocal
timbre.
Their music itcludes familiar
folk melodies, country and blue:
grass favorites, Celtic tunes and
ballads. They support their voic-
es with combinations of guitars,
fiddle, accordion, banjo and bass.
Carol Harley, Laura Quigley, Dana
Abel and Chris Kokesh first got to-
gether for an open-mic session at a
club in Portland in 1997 and were
offered a job on the spot by the
club's manager. Since then they've
recorded three CDs and traveled
around the country in a 37-fbot mo-
torhome, perfi)rming as many as
200 concerts a year.

The Shelton City Commission

ments clarify the boundary-line
adjustment process, reorganize
and clarify sections about the
short-plat approval and modifica-
tion process, address subdivision
of property greater than five acres
and change the hearing examiner
process tbr preliminary plats.
Reviewing and amending the

mission meeting.

creased slightly in 2006, total-
ing $2,452,780, an increase of

Davenport said the department is
continually seeking grants to off-
set local costs, he added.
Mayor John Tarrant cited the
direct connection the department
has made with city neighbor-
hoods tbr the decrease in various
crimes. Crime isn't going away,
he noted, adding the vigilance by
citizens shows their sense of own-
ership in their nieghborhoods.
Commissioner Dick Taylor told
Davenport the police department
has accomplished the reductions
in crime without a significant
budget increase. Commissioner
Dawn Pannell termed it an ex-
cellent report and said copies are
available at the Shelton Civic
Center and William G. Reed Li-
brary.
