Based out of sunny San Diego, Gypsy Sally is a three piece blues band that brings the old school feel to the new age from blues, to rock with the occasional Bossa and Latin twist. Front man Kyler Jakubowski has utilized his North Carolina roots and over the years has created a very unique blues sound not heard since the 50’s, Austin Wagner links the rhythm and melody with his smooth motown influenced James Jameson style, and Martin Quezada holds the beat on drums with his Caribbean swing, all of which when brought together creates what is now known as the one and only Gypsy Sally. To date, Gypsy Sally has recorded one album, "How Long," recorded live in the studio with Alan Sanderson. Gypsy Sally is named after a bar in the song "Tecumseh Valley" by Townes Van Zandt. Apart from Van Zandt, the band is influenced by classic blues artists like B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, and Peter Green. However, in addition to the blues, the band also draws influence from the vocals of Sam Cooke, and the rock guitar of Rory Gallagher.

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “The Hole Shmear— How America Brought Cream Cheese to the Jews, “ with Jeff Marx, at 10:30 a.m. November 18, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Blvd, San Diego. Slathered on a bagel, inserted into blintzes, the secret to “real” cheese cake, what could be more Jewish than cream cheese? And yet, the Jews who came to America from Eastern Europe in the late 19th century had never heard of it. Where did cream cheese come from and how did it get to be a Jewish food? Jeff Marx, a historian of cream cheese, will share with us the, er, udder truth as to its beginnings and development in America. The audience will discover where Philadelphia cream cheese really comes from, why today’s cream cheese bears little resemblance to the original, and learn how some Jews went from rags to riches as they marketed this delectable cheese. Rabbi Jeff Marx has been called “the world’s premier expert on the history of cream cheese.” He has researched, published and lectured on how cream cheese was created, developed and marketed in America. In addition, Marx’s research has extended to the origins of bagels and lox. His forthcoming book from Rutgers University Press is on Abie Kabibble, the first Jewish cartoon strip character in America. After serving the Santa Monica Synagogue in Los Angeles as their senior rabbi for 36 years, Marx recently became Rabbi Emeritus, which gives him time to work on his new book, a history of Jews and arson in America. The event is free and open to the public. For more information visit: chsandiego.org Stay Connected on Facebook
