THE SOUTHAMPTON PRESS / FEBRUARY 10, 199-
Billie Holiday Portrayed
Billie Holiday, one of the greatest
jazz singers of all time, died in 1959,
the victim of a tortured private life
marred by drugs and alcohol.
Actress /playwright Reenie Upchurch
saw Billie Holiday in performances at
her best and worst, and those memor-
ies inspired her to write a play about
the legendary singer: "Yesterdays:
An Evening With Billie Holiday."
On Saturday, February 19, the AV-
ram Family Forum will present Ms.
Upchurch's musical drama in a sin-
gle performance beginning at 8 p.m.
in the Fine Arts Theatre at Long Is-
land University's Southampton Col-
lege. The production is part of the
college's celebration of Black History
Month.
Yesterdays" takes place in a
small New York City nightclub and
stars Ms. Upchurch as Billie Holiday
in her last performance —only two
months before her death. As she sings
some of Ms. Holiday's best -known
numbers, Ms. Upchurch, in a white
gown with gardenias behind her ear,
becomes progressively tipsier and
more disoriented, lapsing into auto-
biographical vignettes and railing at
undercover agents waiting offstage to
arrest her.
An actress of subtle skill but open,
almost raw emotional presentation,
she (Upchurch) is also a first -rate
singer," said one review of the show.
Her play is a disturbing, enlighten-
ing, multifacted view of a troubled,
vulnerable but defiant artist who is
saddening but still thrilling in de-
cline."
Another critic says that Ms. Up-
church "scores a bull's -eye with her
white- sheathed voluptuousness and
catty repartee. Her voice has just the
right tremulous edge we need to be
transported." Ms. Upchurch, backed
of a recently published book about an-
tique kilims of Anatolia, The Tribal Eye.
Mr. Davies will address members and
guests of the Architecture & Design Fo-
rum on Sunday, February 13, at 3:30
p.m. The event will take place at his
home, the historic Byram House in Sag
Harbor, which guests will have an op-
portunity to tour. Members will be ad-
mitted free, others will be asked for a
5 donation.
Mr. Davies has been a collector of ki-
lims (a Bat -woven rug in the tapestry
technique, without knotted pile) since
1962 when he purchased his first kilim
at a Kayseri rug bazaar, shortly after
he started a three -year teaching stint in
Turkey. Subsequently he became a pi-
oneer in introducing the kilim to Amer-
ica and in 1976 he established the
Turkana Gallery showcasing old and an-
tique kilims in his penthouse loft in New
York City's Wall Street area.
Mr. Davies' home —the Byram
house —is named for its original owner,
an astronomer, tower clock builder,
marine biologist, taxidermist and book-
binder. It is filled not only with many
Byram artifacts but with kihms and
other textiles from Mr. Davies' collec-
tion.
Joan Carlson, at 725 -0165, has infor-
mation and directions.
Chamber Concert
The Eastern Suffolk School of Music
will present the second concert in its
Winter Concert Series on the North Fork
with an afternoon of chamber music
played by violinist Dorothea Cook, cel-
list Olga Zilboorg and pianist Alvin No-
vak. The concert will be held in the
performing space of the Church of the
Open Door, 1850 Bayview Road in South-
old at 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 13.

by drummer Herb Lovelle and pian-
ist Rahn Burton, sings "Good Morn-
ing Heartache," "God Bless the
Child," "Strange Fruit," and many
more of Holiday's best -known songs
as she recounts the grim details of her
life —her rape at the age of 10, her ad-
diction to heroin, her experiences
with racial discrimination. And yet
despite the brutal circumstances of
the singer's life, Ms. Upchurch ma-
nages to capture the humor and
laughter which endeared Billie Holi-
day to her audiences and made her
triumphant even in her pain.
Reenie Upchurch has appeared in
many theatres across the country and
is a founding member of the Phoenix
Ensemble Theater. She originated
roles for productions by three differ-
ent companies in Philadelphia: Re-
enie in the "World's First Live Soap
Opera," Mabel in "Lemonade," and
Ruby in "Getting Out." Drummer
Herb Lavelle has worked with
Sammy Davis, Jr., Lena Horne, and
BB King, and he appeared in the film
Running on Empty" with Judd
Hirsch. Rahn Burton has played pi-
ano with Rashan Roland Kirk, record-
ing highly rated albums on the
Atlantic label. He has also played
with Art Blakey, Pharoah Sanders,
Stanley Turentine and Leon Thomas.
The performance begins at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $8, general admission; $5
for senior citizens and children. Stu-
dents, faculty and staff of Southamp-
ton College are admitted free of
charge. The performance is part of
the Avram Family Forum, a series of

lege funded by Dr. and Mrs. Morrell
M. Avram and family. The Fine Arts
Division, at 287 -8427, has more infor-
mation.
encouraged to attend for $2.
On the program will be music by
Bach, Beethoven, Schumann and Stra-
vinsky. The Church of the Open Door is

cepting reservations.

its Hamptoons Film Festival on Tues-
day, February 15, at 3 p.m., with a show-
ing of "Tom and Jerry: The Movie."
The 80- minute film, which is rated G,
provided the Academy Award - winning
cat and mouse duo their f irst opportun-
ity to stretch out comedically beyond the
limits of short cartoons. The filmmak-
ers employed state-of-the-art animation
techniques to create some breathtaking
visuals ranging from hair- raising cha-
ses through circus carnivals and back
alleys to midnight escapes from evil
mansions and menacing animal com-
pounds. Tickets are $3 at the door.
On Thursday, February 17, at 3 p.m.,
The Hamptoons Film Festival closes
with a showing of the acclaimed movie
Into the West," starring Gabriel Byrne

Focus on Nature
Counting
By Paul Stoutenburgh
Every year in the middle of January
there is a New York State Waterfowl
Count and each year volunteers go out
and survey the waters for ducks of all
kinds. It is through these surveys that
we get an idea of the ups and downs in
their populations. As we know, this has
been an unusual year for weather with
its low temperatures and more than nor-
mal snowfall. Nevertheless we were
committed and hoped for a break in the
weather so the day -long process of scan-
ning and counting could be done. We
chose January 21 which was clear and
relatively warm -18 -20 degrees.
In years past I've worked on a section
of the Montauk area usually around Pro-
mised Land as well as working the area
from Mattituck Inlet to Orient Point on
the North Shore. My companion for the
North Shore area this year was Ralph
Tuthill, an old friend and birder from
way back. We knew the bay would re-
veal very little for it was frozen over ex-
cept for a few small oases of
fast - moving water. The same was true
of the inlet area where we were able to
pick up those handsome male red -
breasted mergansers and buffleheads
and a score of black ducks and mallards
that wished the fast - running channel
weren't quite so deep. They are shallow
water feeders and there was little for
them there except the warmth of the
water.
The Sound edge, as we looked out
from the inlet, was white with pushed -
up ice from across the Sound. Every
rock had its mantle of white and every-
thing blended into a dazzle that made
one squint. Slushy ice undulated slowly
beyond the hard - packed ice of the shore
and just beyond that oldsquaws and gol-
deneye ducks dove for their rations of
survival food.
Water Warmer Than Air
Actually the water temperature was
much warmer than the bitter cold above
that swept out of the northwest. At one
place by the Old Mill where the water
was open, black ducks and mallards and
a few wigeon were found. They had been
frozen out of their hiding places in the
few freshwater areas on the North
Shore. Later we'd visit deep Marra -
tooka Lake and find only a small spot
Waterfowl
in the center where the movement of,
ducks had kept the water open. Here,
canvasback, wigeon, black ducks and a
few American coots milled about in
what must have seemed to them a life -'
less lake without that shallow edge to:
feed along.
We worked every creek and channel,
opening, adding ducks and a few bew-
ildered swans to our list as we headed
east. Black ducks seemed to head the.
list. Out of their usual hiding haunts,
they were forced to sit, well silhouetted
out on the bay ice, which made them.
easy to count.
If there was any pleasure for the eye,
it was provided by the diving and pop-
ping up of the little bufflehead ducks:
butterballs). In the open spots they,,
along with the red - breasted mergans-
ers (shelldrakes), seemed almost to en-
joy their winter habitat. Some were
already reacting to the longer days by.
putting on a courtship display..
Heading Out East
At one place off Greenport where the
shelter of the land had kept the cold
wind from welding an icy barrier across.
the bay, greater scaup dove and fro -,
licked. Those ducks once ruled our win
ter waters here on the East End, prior,
to the great loss of eelgrass in the early
30s. Now we see small flocks where-
thousands once rafted and fed. We saw •
a few loons and grebes but they, too, had
mostly flown to the open water of the
ocean or far off Sound.
By afternoon we had worked our way
to Orient State Park where we picked up'
scoters (coots). Most were the surf scot -''
ers (skunk heads) with only a few white -'•
wings amongst them. This was unusual +
for normally that is reversed. On our
way back from the park we found turn
stones and sanderlings feeding along the
icy water's edge,
Our last trip was to the very end of the
North Fork, Orient Point, in hopes of
finding sea ducks and perhaps the prize"
of all, the Harlequin duck, which visits'
our area only rarely. It boasts a mixture
of colors that seems quite out of place -
in such frigid waters. We didn't find the
Harlequin nor did we see any seals,
though they are often found there. But'
we were rewarded by the sight of three'
purple sandpipers.
These handsome male red - breasted mergansers found in local waters are already in -'
volved in their courtship rituals even though ice and snow surround them. t
