Start the new decade off in
a great way as you warm
away the winter chills with
your friends and neighbors at
Words & Music in Quincy at
Morning Thunder Thursday,
Jan. 13. Doors open at 7 p.m.
and no-host coffees, teas and
libations will be available.
The featured artist portion
begins at 7:15. Admission is
still $3.
The featured artist for the
evening is Tommy Miles.
Miles has been performing
since he was very young,
which, at least mentally, was
not all that long ago.
In recent years, he was hall
of local Celtic duo Miles &
Miles and a member of local
folk-rock band Jeez Louise,
which later became Tarna-
tion, and played guitar in an
electric Celtic project called
the Thorndogs.
Currently, he's involved
with several area groups in-
cluding playing guitar and
drums in the alternative
country band The Back 40,
keyboards and saxophones
with The DeVilles, and
drums for Mudbone, a blues
and rock band.
He organized and per-
formed in several successful
benefit shows for Plumas
Arts including tributes to
Nell Young, and Crosby,
Stills & Nash, as well as the
Soul Jukebox show
He also hosts the Burnpile
Barbecue show on KQNY 91.9
FM Tuesdays, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.

"The Fighter," Sunday and
Monday, Jan. 23 - 24
Dicky Ecklund (Christian
Bale) is a former boxing
legend who squandered his
talents and threw away his
shot at greatness.
Micky Ward (Mark
Wahlberg), his hall-brother,
is the struggling journeyman
boxer who spent his life
living in his big brother's
shadow.
"The Fighter" is the inspi-
rational, true story of these
two brothers who, against all
the odds, come together to
Robert DeNiro and Ben Stiller
match wits again as father-in-
law and son-in-law in "Little
Fockers."
His solo act is a mix of
sometimes serious, usually
funny, almost always irrever-
ent alternative country and
Americana music with other
varieties thrown in just to
confuse the crowd. It's sure
to be an evening of fun if
unusual music!
Words & Music is also
a place for musiczans and
writers to share their talents
with a very respectful and
receptive crowd. Open stage
(it is often called open mic,
but there are no microphones
used at the venue) will follow

tellers, actors or performers
are encouraged to sign up at
the door for a 5- to 7-minute
time slot. All music perfor-
mances must be acoustic

struments or sound equip-
merit iIi6 ed". ofiginaiwd k

tated by Plumas Arts since

"Little Fockers," Thursday
- Saturday, Jan. 27 - 29
The test of wills between
Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro)
and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller)
escalates to new heights of
comedy in the third install-
ment of the blockbuster
series.
Laura Dern, Jessica Alba
and Harvey Keitel join the
returning all-star cast for a
new chapter of the worldwide
hit franchise.
It has taken 10 years, two
little Fockers with wife Pam
(Polo) and countless hurdles
for Greg to finally get "in"
with his tightly wound
father-in-law, Jack.
After the cash-strapped dad
takes a job moonlighting for a
drug company, however,
Jack's suspicions about his
favorite male nurse come
roaring back.
When Greg and Pam's
entire clan -- including
Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin
(Owen Wilson) -- descends
for the twins' birthday party,
Greg must prove to the
skeptical Jack that he's fully
capable as the man of the
house. But with all the mis-
understandings, spying and
covert missions, will Greg
pass Jack's final test and
become the family's next
patriarch or will the
circle of trust be broken for
good?
The 98-minute comedy is
rated PG-13 for mature sexual
humor throughout, language
and some drug content.
