The STRAY CATS, the band that put Rockabilly music back on the record charts in the early '80s, scored several big hits on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a striking visual 1950’s style brought “up to date” with exaggerated pompadours and colorful tattoos and as well as genuine musical chops that evoked the best players of rockabilly's original heyday. Formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, NY, in 1979, the trio shared a love for Rockabilly music. After banging around New York for a few months in the summer of 1980, and seeing a pompadoured kid on the cover of UK magazine NME, they hopped a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge. Their massive hits and videos include “Runaway Boys," "Rock This Town," "Stray Cat Strut” "(She's) Sexy + 17" and "I Won't Stand in Your Way." This is a rental event at The Rady Shell, presented by AEG/Goldenvoice. The San Diego Symphony does not appear on this program.

Exploring versatile running stitches The technique of decorating a fabric surface with running stitches can be found in many cultures. In this class students will learn 2 types of stitching: Sashiko, which means “little stabs” in Japanese, and Kantha, which translates to “rags” in Sanskrit. The primary function of the stitching was to mend and reuse old but treasured fabric; to gather layers of fabric which then provided warmth and insulation; and/or strengthen the fabric for heavy usage. However, the decorative aspect of this timeless practice became just as important and valued, and its rich “vocabulary” translates into endless pattern variations. Learn traditional Sashiko patterns using simple grid-based stitches such as “zigzag,” “field of flowers,” and traditional patterns using curves such as “ocean waves,” and “rising steam.” We will also cover the organic and flowing art of Kantha stitching. Students will create a beautiful personalized linen table runner or 2 placemats. $15 material fee payable to the instructor at the start of class This class is appropriate for ages 12 years and older. • Scholarships available • Military and sibling discounts For more information visit: sandiegocraft.org Stay Connected on Facebook
