Cofer D.C. Chiropractic Orthopedist PARKRECORD.COM The People's Health Clinic, a nonprofit organization that provides medical care to the uninsured in Summit and Wasatch counties, celebrated another successful Silver Queen Derby on Saturday, June 15. The third-annual luncheon was held at Stein Eriksen Lodge and served as a fundraiser for the clinic's women's programs that include prenatal care, physicals and chronic care, including diabetes and cholesterol testing, said event director Jenny Dorsey. "There were 120 women who Continued From C-1 Escovedo will play Big Stars to my interest in films and writing to help me with that," he said. "I mean, I enjoyed movie soundtracks and liked the way images and music worked together to create tension and drama. So, my first intention with my songs was to write three-minute movies in songs. It took a while for me to get there, but that was my intention." When the band broke up, Escovedo was reluctant to embark on a solo career. "I really didn't want to do it because I was scared," he said. "I didn't want to lead a band. I just wanted to be in one, because being in a band was all about the fantasy of living the same live Every day, in print, online and by mobile, the Park Record delivers a highly loyal and engaged audience.

"We all enjoyed lunch, libations and a style show with Farasha Boutique by one of our board members, Vanessa Di Palma Wright. "It was wonderful that so many women from our community turned out to support the People's Health Clinic's women's program," she said. This year's event featured a lot of entertainment. "We had a group called the Park City Treblemakers per- form," she said. "They are a new a cappella group led by Shelle Jennings and they were great." The performance was significant because the group's very first concert was for the People's that Keith Richards and Johnny Thunders did. I wanted to look cool, you know? I had to get a special haircut and buy a good guitar and create a good sound. "So, when True Believers imploded, I realized that if I was going to continue doing music, I had to do something that I had never done before," he said. Escovedo did some soul searching and realized how much his brother's music had influenced him. "He played in big Latin orchestras and I had developed a love and respect for Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance, and liked the composer Erik Satie," Escovedo said. "I also liked the way the Velvet Underground used strings, and enjoyed how Lou Reed used strings on the record ‘Street Hassle.'" Those artists help create a blueprint for Escovedo to follow. "You could say I was trying to create something like having a string quartet play with Crazy Horse or The Stooges," he said. "That's the part that made things a little different." Escovedo also knew that he had to write songs that not only had good structure, but also had some personal roots; two elements which he still strives for today. "A lot of times I'll feel things deep inside and will experience a crisis in my life, or joy, you know," he said. "We all have some significant event or events that sort of change our lives. "So, I'll look around me, hear things or talk to people or see a movie or read a book that connect with me in some weird way and will go from there and write songs," he said. "I try to look outwards. Even when I write with other people like my friend, I make sure we are looking outwards." When Escovedo plays at Deer Valley, he knows how important it is to make the set list interesting. "After playing all these years together, we know when an audience is falling asleep and when they want something that will wake them up," he said. "I know if I played only what I wanted to play, we would just do three or four long songs like, a John Coltrane record." But that isn't going to happen. "The band and I just did this retrospective where we re-learned 60 songs," he said. "I brought in a bunch of musicians whom I worked with in the past and it was great. "So, since the band knows all these songs, I've kind of let the band help me decide what we're going to play," Escovedo said. "I like to involve the band in these types of decisions, because they give me a different perspective. They'll throw in some old songs that they would like to play or some that I'd even forgotten about or shied away from in the past, and I will remember when I wrote it, and, it makes me happy to see what I've done up until now."
