Thursday, March 16: Aztec Two Step @ Flying Goose.
Aztec Two-Step 2.0 featuring Rex Fowler, Dodie Pettit & Friends
The story of Rex Fowler and Aztec Two-Step is intertwined with the history of folk/rock music in America. Originating from a chance meeting at an “open mic night” in Boston in 1971, Rex and Neal Shulman went on to record four albums on Elektra & RCA Records. Performing worldwide, they were critically acclaimed in newspapers, reviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine, and appeared on radio and TV including The King Biscuit Flower Hour, World Cafe Live and David Letterman. They appeared in concert with The Band, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Carly Simon, The Beach Boys and so many more, and have recently been inducted into the New England Music Hall of Fame, receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Following Neal's retirement, Rex has continued, expanding his legacy - and his band - alongside his wife Dodie Pettit - a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and an original member of Broadway’s The Phantom of the Opera. Rex and Dodie first met during an ATS recording session in 1979 (she was on lead electric guitar and vocals) and re-connected decades later. With ATS 2.0 they have recaptured the multi-layered dimension of Rex & Neal’s original studio recordings, performing ATS classics and old forgotten gems.
“The old songs done in this new lineup has brought new life to the music. This truly is a band that people need to experience!!” - Ron Olesko, WFDU-FM/ Folk Music Notebook/ Hurdy Gurdy Folk Music Club

Who invented peanut butter?
Answer: An unknown St. Louis physician
Although Dr. George Washington Carver is credited with inventing many uses for the peanut (65% of our readers chose him), his research did not begin until 1903. Peanut butter was invented in 1890 by the unknown physician, who encouraged the owner of a food products company to develop peanut butter as a protein substitute for people with poor teeth that couldn't chew meat. (Taken from the Skippy, Peanut Butter Lovers Fan Club and Jif websites).

Finally, after three votes, a new county was established named Sullivan, in honor of General John Sullivan (1740-1795), a NH military hero and delegate to the Continental Congress. | |
