SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Frank Blair
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library Society in welcoming Frank Blair as he speaks about his recent book\, The Schooner Maggie B\, telling the story of his true Southern Ocean circumnavigation\, around the great capes\, filling the imagination of every serious\, as well as armchair\, sailor. To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nIn 2005\, Frank Blair built a 63-foot wooden schooner in Nova Scotia and\, with an all-volunteer crew\, set off on her two-year maiden voyage around the world. Many sailing books tell of racing hardships\, disasters at sea\, days adrift in a life raft\, or being dismasted off Cape Horn. This book is about a great success: a sailor’s dream voyage well executed. The Schooner Maggie B tells of breakdowns but also the recoveries\, great ports and how to surmount their bureaucracies\, the sublime pleasures of a clear night watch and other days with fresh gales\, and the apprehension and joys of 4000-mile blue water passages. Come along! \nFrank Blair served in the US Navy for five years as a fighter pilot flying single-seat fighters off of carriers in the Mediterranean and the Western Pacific\, and received five Air Medals for low-level reconnaissance over North Vietnam. Flying skills honed sailing skills: radio\, navigation\, meteorology and appreciation for Bernoulli’s Principle. His love of sailing began in childhood and he worked Hurricane Island Outward Bound School for 20 years teaching seamanship. The US Coast Guard licensed him as a Master for Sail and Power. He became a Shellback en route to Australia from Vietnam and has served as a Stand-In for Neptune twice since. He lives in Maine and on his new schooner\, FARFARER.

He comes from a rich background of artists and musicians\, most notably the musical genius Edmund Jenkins\, a brilliant composer and performer in the genres of Jazz and Classical music from the early 1900s. He was internationally renowned and is remembered for his significant contributions to the development of jazz in the United States\, via Charleston\, South Carolina. Tuffus\, a versatile composer and master musician in his own right\, started piano lessons at the early age of five. His father\, a teacher\, and his mother\, a visual artist\, both armed with knowledge of their rich musical heritage\, made it a point to provide Tuffus with substantial musical exposure. He began by studying classical piano\, which he did for roughly two decades. At the age of 12 he explored gospel music at a local Roxbury church where he started playing piano with the men’s choir. \nIn his early teens\, Tuffus joined Berklee College of Music’s City Music Program\, where\nhe began his formal training in jazz. Here is where his skills and talents as a musician\nmatured. The program offered him a laboratory to develop his compositions and a forum\nto perform with his peers. At 18\, Tuffus received the prestigious Walter Beasley Award\,\nwon the song writing competition at Berklee’s Five Week Summer Program\, and was\nsubsequently awarded the full-tuition “City Music Continuing Scholarship” to study in\nBerklee’s undergraduate program (class of ‘05). Here he dual-majored in Music\nBusiness and Film Scoring while engaging in extensive studies in composition and\nperformance. \nTuffus’ composition skills landed him a spot on Liz Walker’s CBS-TV morning show\nwhere he performed his original “African Breeze” with the Tuffus Zimbabwe Group. One\nof his original compositions was already being used weekly as the theme for this show.\nTuffus continued his education\, earning his Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies from\nNew York University. \nTuffus currently works as a keyboardist in the Saturday Night Live Band on NBC. He\nalso works in a number of bands such as Ron Ried’s “Sun Steel” band and Jovol Bell’s\n“Reality.” \n\nCharleston’s Quentin Baxter is a drummer/composer/educator/producer. A graduate of\nthe College of Charleston (Bachelor of Arts – Music Theory & Composition)\, Baxter\ncultivated his musical talents under the wings of regional legends/mentors Robert\nEphraim\, Oscar Rivers\, Jr\, Lonnie Hamilton III\, George Kenney\, Dr. David Maves\, Teddy\nAdams\, and Delbert Felix. \nCurrently touring worldwide with award-winning vocalist and composer René Marie and\nGrammy-nominated vocalist Freddy Cole\, Baxter regularly performs in many prestigious\nvenues and festivals. He’s performed at The Kennedy Center (Washington\, D.C.)\, Jazz\nat Lincoln Center (New York)\, Joy of Jazz Festival (South Africa)\, Toulouse Jazz\nFestival (France)\, Umbria Jazz Festival and Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi (Italy)\, and\,\nof course\, Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston.
