It's like practice for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yagi started singing regularly at Nick's Lounge about 10 years ago as she was going through a divorce. \"I went through a bad time during that period,\" she said. As her 30-year marriage was falling apart, she found that singing made her feel good. \"It's like eating dark chocolate,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"lRp5Pb5CZiQZ69RPEQeQIQWe7nNIz63u\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Yagi sometimes chooses songs to fit the mood of the crowd, most of the time she chooses songs that reflect what's going on in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't have a great voice. I don't have a strong powerful voice like \u003ca href=\"http://adele.com/\">Adele\u003c/a> or something like that,\" Yagi said. \"It's more about singing the song and interpreting the lyrics for me. That's why I say I'm singing to myself a lot, because I'm working things out for myself in the song.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yagi encourages others to try out new songs and take risks. A lot of times people don't sing because they're nervous about getting onstage in front of people, Yagi said. But if you just focus on having a good time, you'll realize it's not as scary as it seems, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't have to be a great singer,\" she said. \"Just do it because it makes you feel good.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

That's why you can find her on most slow school nights singing old song standards or current pop jazz artists like \u003ca href=\"http://www.iamduffy.com/\">Duffy\u003c/a> at \u003ca href=\"http://nickslounge.com/\">Nick's Lounge\u003c/a>, a bar on Adeline Street in South Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lounge advertises itself as as a \"relaxed, unpretentious bar\" for local brews, nightly karaoke, live music and open-mic events. \"It's a very welcoming atmosphere,\" said Yagi, an unimposing woman with a sultry voice reminiscent of \u003ca href=\"http://marilynmonroe.com/\">Marilyn Monroe\u003c/a>, one Thursday evening before she took the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238870924&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238870924'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I try to come four nights a week,\" she said. \"Beyond that it's too much, less than that it's not enough. It's like practice for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yagi started singing regularly at Nick's Lounge about 10 years ago as she was going through a divorce. \"I went through a bad time during that period,\" she said. As her 30-year marriage was falling apart, she found that singing made her feel good. \"It's like eating dark chocolate,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I don't have a strong powerful voice like \u003ca href=\"http://adele.com/\">Adele\u003c/a> or something like that,\" Yagi said. \"It's more about singing the song and interpreting the lyrics for me. That's why I say I'm singing to myself a lot, because I'm working things out for myself in the song.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yagi encourages others to try out new songs and take risks. A lot of times people don't sing because they're nervous about getting onstage in front of people, Yagi said. But if you just focus on having a good time, you'll realize it's not as scary as it seems, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don't have to be a great singer,\" she said. \"Just do it because it makes you feel good.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

They could’ve added more this year, but they decided to amp it up in a different way -- by asking their neighbors to join in. They figured a few houses would participate, but they didn’t expect everyone on their street to sign up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t known my neighbors like this since I was a kid,” says Terry. He says people ask him how he got all the families to participate. “I don’t know.

And every year they try to envision an even brighter future -- for their front yard, that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve spent many a Christmas season hanging up strands of decorative lights. They started off with 5,000 outdoor lights, then 10,000. In 2007, they synchronized the lights to music. Their suburban house became a big draw in the town of Clovis, just outside Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we’re at 50,000 lights just in our yard,” says Terry. They could’ve added more this year, but they decided to amp it up in a different way -- by asking their neighbors to join in. They figured a few houses would participate, but they didn’t expect everyone on their street to sign up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t known my neighbors like this since I was a kid,” says Terry. He says people ask him how he got all the families to participate. “I don’t know. We just did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result is \u003ca href=\"http://www.clovisfestivaloflights.org/santa_claus_lane.html\">Santa Claus Lane\u003c/a>: 16 houses, 100,000 lights and an hour of synchronized music. The lights flash to the music, bounce from one house to the next, and even race around the cul-de-sac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10805551\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10805551 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Sixteen houses light up Santa Claus Lane, free to visitors through New Year's Eve. \" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/houses-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sixteen houses light up Santa Claus Lane, free to visitors through New Year's Eve. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Scott Davis)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“At first I wasn’t quite sure what to think of it,” says neighbor Tina Navarro. “It actually came together perfectly, though.

It takes at least three hours to synchronize one minute of a song to the flashing colored lights. Deb spent about 200 hours synchronizing the entire spectacle, which she says is a \"creative outlet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Terry set up command central on their front lawn. It looks like a tall gingerbread house on the outside, but inside hundreds of controllers power the mass of holiday lights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I laid awake nights before I went to sleep designing all of this and I’m not an electrician,” says Terry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238870631&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238870631'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Toews even set up a nonprofit called \u003ca href=\"http://www.clovisfestivaloflights.org/become_a_sponsor.html\">Clovis Festival of Lights\u003c/a> to accept donations for the free nightly event. Neighbors also raise money for the production by selling pizza, popcorn and hot chocolate at a concession stand. And there’s a donation box to help out a local food pantry, Terry says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the houses are wirelessly linked to a computer in the command center. Music is broadcast through a low frequency FM transmitter. Terry admits it’s all a little crazy. (\"Crazy fun,\" he says.) And it makes people happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says a woman brought her mother to see the Christmas lights just at his house a couple of years ago. Her mom had Alzheimer’s disease and was feeling down -- but the lights put a smile on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That year she sent us a letter,\" Terry says. \"Her mom had passed away, but she thanked us for that one night because she saw a whole different person in her mom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next Christmas, the daughter returned alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not usually an emotional person, but that really hit me,\"Terry says. That, \"and just the smile on kids’ faces.“\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s just wonderful. I guess I’m just a little kid at heart, too.

A young man named Alex Michalski rang the Toews' doorbell a few weeks ago and asked if they could help him out. All he wanted for Christmas was to propose to his girlfriend Danielle Ybarra. Deb told him of course they could help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The showpiece on the Toews' lawn is a tall, metal Christmas tree with hundreds of lights that can be programmed to form images or words. It’s kind of like a billboard in Times Square. Deb and Alex decided to program the proposal on the tree along with a favorite song, Mariah Carey’s \"All I Want for Christmas is You.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After he left, me and my daughter were crying because it was just the sweetest thing,” Deb says. “And he was so excited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan went off without a hitch. Alex brought Danielle to Santa Claus Lane one recent Friday. After the Mariah Carey song ended, he got down on his knees. The lights on the tree flashed “Danielle, will you marry me?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends and family started to cheer, and Danielle nodded yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love this woman and I want to be with her the rest of my life,” says Michalski.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christmas is magical, says Terry, and you never know what the lights might inspire.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>In the 1930s, an extraordinary woman set up shop in a modest office on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley. Her goal? To record an ethnographic survey of California folk music, using 237 blank acetate disks supplied by the Library of Congress\u003ca href=\"https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/afccchtml/cowsonek.html\">. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/afccchtml/cowsonek.html\">Sidney Robertson Cowell\u003c/a> traveled the state with a clunky recording device, seeking out folk musicians, from Armenian Oud players to Hungarian singers. She created a remarkable archive of recordings of 185 musicians from numerous ethnic groups, in 12 languages. The music, along with photographs and technical drawings of musical instruments, is part of a collection at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.loc.gov/folklife/\">American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://stream.media.loc.gov/webcasts/2015/150909plc1700/data/150909plc1700_768x432_800.mp4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what Russell Rodriguez of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.actaonline.org/\">Alliance for California Traditional Arts\u003c/a> (ACTA) and Sojin Kim of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.folklife.si.edu/talkstory/2015/sounds-of-california-hearing-migration-through-music/\">Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage\u003c/a> had to say about Cowell’s work:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Cowell collected from people whose experiences were unrepresented, if not unrecorded at the time. She was interested in what people were singing, recognizing this would be represented in different languages, sounds, and aesthetics. She understood that California was made up of people who brought cultural repertoire from many different places. It's a remarkable inclination given that the 1930s were an era marked by such Nativist reactions as the exclusion of Asian immigrants and the mass deportations of Mexicans and Mexican Americans.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Now, ACTA and the Smithsonian are teaming up with the national Latino public radio network \u003ca href=\"http://radiobilingue.org/en/\">Radio Bilingue\u003c/a> to continue where Cowell left off.

To record an ethnographic survey of California folk music, using 237 blank acetate disks supplied by the Library of Congress\u003ca href=\"https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/afccchtml/cowsonek.html\">. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/afccchtml/cowsonek.html\">Sidney Robertson Cowell\u003c/a> traveled the state with a clunky recording device, seeking out folk musicians, from Armenian Oud players to Hungarian singers. She created a remarkable archive of recordings of 185 musicians from numerous ethnic groups, in 12 languages. The music, along with photographs and technical drawings of musical instruments, is part of a collection at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.loc.gov/folklife/\">American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://stream.media.loc.gov/webcasts/2015/150909plc1700/data/150909plc1700_768x432_800.mp4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s what Russell Rodriguez of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.actaonline.org/\">Alliance for California Traditional Arts\u003c/a> (ACTA) and Sojin Kim of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.folklife.si.edu/talkstory/2015/sounds-of-california-hearing-migration-through-music/\">Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage\u003c/a> had to say about Cowell’s work:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Cowell collected from people whose experiences were unrepresented, if not unrecorded at the time. She was interested in what people were singing, recognizing this would be represented in different languages, sounds, and aesthetics. She understood that California was made up of people who brought cultural repertoire from many different places. It's a remarkable inclination given that the 1930s were an era marked by such Nativist reactions as the exclusion of Asian immigrants and the mass deportations of Mexicans and Mexican Americans.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Now, ACTA and the Smithsonian are teaming up with the national Latino public radio network \u003ca href=\"http://radiobilingue.org/en/\">Radio Bilingue\u003c/a> to continue where Cowell left off. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.folklife.si.edu/talkstory/2015/sounds-of-california-hearing-migration-through-music/\">Sounds of California\u003c/a> project will document contemporary music through the lens of migration and immigration.

The damage was so severe that the small fishing town of Rikuzentakata was nearly flattened with 80 percent of it destroyed and more than 1,600 people dead. Almost five years have passed and the city is still recovering, but thanks to a few high school students on California's North Coast, a little bit of hope has emerged from some recovered tsunami debris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started at a beach in Crescent City. Cmdr. Bill Steven, of the Del Norte County Sheriff's Department, remembers answering a phone call one night in April 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d received a call from some people that said, 'Hey, there’s something suspicious happening on South Beach.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238197745\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first he thought people were stealing things from the harbor. But after he and other o\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">fficers from the Sheriff’s Department arrived, he saw that people were actually trying to lift an object out of the water. It was a small 20-foot fishing boat that washed up on the beach.

That wasn't quite the answer Steven was looking for, but that did give him some time to figure out more about the boat. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After removing a few of the barnacles, he saw some Japanese symbols. That’s when he realized the boat was debris from the Japanese tsunami of 2011.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The symbols translated to: \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Takata High School.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven didn’t know where that was exactly, but it made him think of his son, John, who was at the time a junior at Del Norte High School. That's when he approached John with a proposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I called him into the living room and said, ‘Hey I got an idea. Tell me what you think.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was that his son and a few friends could clean up the boat and send it back to the high school in Japan, sort of like a small weekend project for Del Norte High.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John and six other students spent a day cleaning the boat, which included scrubbing barnacles for several hours. He never thought anything more could come out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just thought it was something fun to do. You know, like send the boat back and it would be cool. We never had any idea how big this would get.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10798116\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/19/tsunami-boat-creates-ties-between-crescent-city-and-japanese-fishing-town/rs17840_22168601975_a00db89ecf_o-qut\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10798116\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10798116\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17840_22168601975_a00db89ecf_o-qut.jpg\" alt=\"John Steven admires Kamome once all the barnacles were removed. \" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17840_22168601975_a00db89ecf_o-qut.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17840_22168601975_a00db89ecf_o-qut-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Steven admires Kamome once all the barnacles were removed. \u003ccite>(Humboldt State Kamome Gallery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After a bit of hard work, they could see the boat's name: Kamome, which means \"seagull\" in Japanese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The community felt a deeper connection to the little boat. Crescent City has a long history with tsunamis. One nearly destroyed the town in 1964, and in 2011 part of its harbor was damaged from the same Japanese tsunami when it moved across the Pacific.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few more people found out about the boat, including Humboldt State University geologist Lori Dengler. She recognized the boat's origins because she studied recovery efforts after the 2011 tsunami and earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew where it had come from. I had seen the city before, and I recognized that this was just an extraordinary connection,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler submitted paperwork to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Japanese Consulate. She also used social media to find out if anyone wanted Kamome back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I did was just post a little note on the Facebook page. It said, 'We found this boat, It says Takata High School. Is it by any chance your boat?' ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when she informally met Amya Miller, the global public relations director for Rikuzentakata, who happened to be on the Facebook page.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I write back to Lori and say, ‘Yes this is our boat.' And that's how this incredible journey began.' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dengler was ecstatic to receive a reply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Getting that message just sent chills up and down my spine. I jumped up in the air, pumped my fist up and said, “YES! We've connected!' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also realized that Kamome was more than just tsunami debris. For Rikuzentakata, this boat was a glimmer of hope for the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamome eventually returned to Japanese shores, thanks to the NOAA and the Japanese Consulate. It was transported on a freighter via the Port of San Francisco. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">City officials from Rikuzentakata greeted the boat at the docks in October 2013, and as part of the celebration Takata High invited John Steven and his friends -- who had cleaned the boat -- to visit them in Japan. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10798112\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/19/tsunami-boat-creates-ties-between-crescent-city-and-japanese-fishing-town/rs17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10798112\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10798112\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Del Norte High School and Takata High School students connect. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/12/RS17838_21545972694_75f4e2f3a6_o-qut.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Del Norte High School and Takata High School students connect. \u003ccite>(Humboldt State Kamome Gallery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John remembers meeting with Takata High School students in February 2014.
