With a hey diddle diddle, the creators of Why Cats Paint return with another version of feline (and human) reality. And suffice it to say that in Burton Silver and Heather Busch’s hands, Kipling’s cat that walked by himself has turned into a deeply codependent dervish. Their first book was a brilliant parody of artspeak–Busch’s photos of creative felines matched by Silver’s text. Their second, Dancing with Cats–an epic three years in the making!–juxtaposes psychological and spiritual mumbo-jumbo with the language of dance criticism. As Silver explores everything from visualization to mirroring to empathy, Busch is busy with her human-feline pairs. In one sequence, Fred, clad in tabby tights, kitty-cat body paint, and a tanga with a long black tail, leaps about the place with a slightly puzzled pussy: “I share its grace, power, and oneness with the universe. I relate to Fluff and the whole spectrum of feline physicality on a profound level–I even regard birds differently.”
On the very next page, chubby Helen, sporting a tie-dyed purple gown and a deeply sworn belief in feng shui, identifies perhaps a bit too deeply with chunky, amber-eyed Boots (who looks suspiciously like “Trans-Expressionist” Bootsie from Why Cats Paint). And then there’s Sue and Zoot. In one photo, the recumbent gray and peach cat raises his left paw to the sky as his ecstatic human does the same. Then Sue dons a feathery jerkin “in order to dance out some of her past traumas.” It’s difficult to say which is funnier, the photos or the text, as Silver catches pseudo-therapy’s mixture of self-affirmation and non sequitur: “Dancing with Zoot helps Sue reenact and come to terms with the joy and sorrow of a brief but painful relationship: when she fell in love with her daughter’s father while he was photographing bridges in the neighborhood.” Though the two-legged models must have been prepared for this inspired silliness, one does wonder what on earth the cats made of their eurythmic adventures. Alas, until interspecies communication reaches a greater height, we can only dance amid our uncertainty! –Kerry Fried

From Publishers Weekly
Food Network darling Ray wants home cooks to become more “instinctual,” and this assortment of quick meals is expansive enough to encourage even novices to wing it. The author hopes readers cook their way through the entire book; to that end, she organizes the recipes not by course or main ingredient (though there are indexes), but by number. The organization takes some getting used to. Helpful but occasionally jarring “tidbits” pop up everywhere, and many “recipes” make more than one dish, so cooking just one requires a fair amount of reading. For example, number 16 encompasses “Oregon-Style Pork Chops with Pinot Noir and Cranberries; Oregon Hash with Wild Mushrooms, Greens, Beets, Hazelnuts, and Blue Cheese; [and] Charred Whole-Grain Bread with Butter and Chives.” Readers making just the hash must read around the instructions for the other two dishes. Still, the recipes are great. They vary in technique and ethnicity, and many give instructions on expanding the dish (after making Spicy Shrimp and Penne with Puttanesca Sauce, for example, “now try” omitting the olives and capers, swapping linguine for the penne, reducing the number of shrimp, and adding lump crab meat and mussels to make Frutti di Mare and Linguine). As Ray would say, “Yummo.” (Nov.)

Book Description
Christmas Eve & Other Stories” Illustrated Book
Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s best selling rock opera, enjoyed as a musical performance and album by millions, is now a beautifully illustrated book.
With 78 pages, the book reveals the now classic story, through 31 powerfully moving paintings and exquisitely designed pages of the poetry and lyrics. Beautifully bound, on parchment style acid free paper, “Christmas Eve and Other Stories,” is lovingly crafted as a book to engage the imagination of readers of all ages.
About the Author
Hot on the heels of their most successful year ever, the collective musical brain trust called Trans-Siberian Orchestra, have gone into high gear for 2002.
Paul O’Neill, along with Robert Kinkel and Jon Oliva, head up TSO. And, with the recording of their two new albums, two simultaneous Christmas tours, a PBS Holiday special, the DVD release and plans for a premiere of the long awaited “Beethoven’s Last Night” tour, it’s a wonder O’Neill has time do his Christmas shopping!
Dubbed a “21st Century Renaissance Man,” O’Neill comments, “Trans-Siberian Orchestra is an all star team of talent, gathered from the worlds of rock, classical, blues and Broadway music. This cross-pollination of talent is responsible for bringing our fans TSO’s brand of creative and imaginatively staged rock opera.”
Last year’s critically acclaimed, record-breaking East and West coast-based touring companies, sold out 42 out of 65 nights across the nation – with an unprecedented eight advance sell out performances in Cleveland and Akron markets alone!
Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s chart-topping box office figures continue to place it in the Top 5 Live Holiday Entertainment attractions in the United States.
For the first time ever, this year’s TSO phenomenon will have more than a quarter of its tour dates moving up to arena size venues to accommodate the increasing demand during the limited, six-week holiday period from November 22nd through December 30.
Another first will be the national broadcast of TSO’s holiday TV special “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” co-starring Ossie Davis, Jewel and Michael Crawford as a major holiday fund raising event for PBS stations across the land as well as it’s release on DVD / Home Video.
Says manager / producer David Krebs. “Last year’s airing on PBS in Cleveland had an amazing audience reaction and it became a top fund raising event for the year. This special is destined to become a holiday classic.”
The live show centers on Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s critically acclaimed “Christmas Eve & Other Stories” (Lava/Atlantic), with story and lyrics written by Paul O’Neill and music by O’Neill and longtime creative partners Robert Kinkel and Jon Oliva. This tale within a tale begins on Christmas Eve, when a lonely young man is visited by a stranger who tells a mysterious story…of an angel sent to Earth at Christmas and a lost child, helped by the kindness of strangers. A tale of faith, of the enduring human spirit and the power of Christmas magic, it is revealed through poetry and song lyrics and dramatic illustrations.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra, whose exhilarating and compelling performances now attract fans from the age of 7 to 70, took the country by storm beginning in 1999, touring in support of their two holiday releases “Christmas Eve & Other Stories” and “The Christmas Attic” (Lava/Atlantic).
“Christmas has always evoked the most powerful emotions and passions in people,” says O’Neill, adding, “It’s those emotions that draws people together, and it’s this sort of music that serves as a conduit for the magic and spirit of the holidays.”
Previous tours have been heralded by fans and critics alike and defined Trans-Siberian Orchestra as the next generation of rock opera. It has been called “timeless…following in the vein of the now-classic Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar.” TSO has managed to capitalize on its fluid line up – built around the creative studio forces of O’Neill, Jon Oliva and Robert Kinkel – adding additional charismatic musicians and singers as needed.
Plans are underway for TSO to debut their newest rock opera, “Beethoven’s Last Night” (Lava/Atlantic). Thei first non-holiday tour will again be a full scale, musical production, bringing together the stirring elegance of a classical orchestra along with the power and fury of a hard rock band surrounded by stunning lighting.
“Beethoven’s music is a wonderful inspiration,” says O’Neill. “I believe that anything that
