The Louis Bay 2nd Library is much more than aplace to read—with its art exhibits and musical

presentations, the Hawthorne Public Library, which is

located at the 345 Lafayette Ave., also serves as a

cultural center for the community. Adding to its

diversity, two musical presentations have been planned

for November.

On Nov. 5, in a free show at 7:30 pm, the music of

Buddy Holly, will be celebrated in a performance

entitled Rave On! Holly was a pioneer of rock and roll

and although his success lasted only a year and a half

before his death in a 1959 airplane crash, Holly has

been hailed by critic Bruce Elder as “the single most

influential creative force in early rock and roll.”

Fronted by Chris Roselle, who performs as Holly,

with Don Guinta on drums and backup vocals, and Pete

Farley on bass and supporting vocals, the group will

play Holly’s hits, including That’ll Be The Day, PeggySue, Not Fade Away, Oh Boy, It's So Easy, and selected

songs from other rock artists. For more details, visit

www.raveonband.com. Roselle, a long time fan of

Holly’s music, formed the band about a year and a half

ago when he and his friends realized there

were no similar acts in the area. The

performance will also include history and facts

about Buddy Holly’s life.

The library will be collecting canned goods,

paper products, cash and other items for the

Hawthorne Food Bank, and those who attend

are asked to bring appropriate items.

Then in another performance on Nov. 23,

the Meadow Lark Singers will perform at 7 pm.

The seven piece vocal group, led by Music

Director Marrianne Sellers, will sing a variety

of up-beat, hope-filled songs. Admission is

free. For more on either event, call Clara

Caldarone at 973-427-5745, ext. 11. W

Someone Must Wash the Dishes: An Anti-SuffrageMonologue: This play was written by Suffragist Marie

Jenny Howe in 1912 but it will be performed on Nov. 6 at 2

pm at the Wayne Public Library by actress Michele LaRue.

Howe’s satiric monologue was published in 1913, by the

National Woman Suffrage Association (precursor of the

League of Women Voters) at a time when many women

fought against getting the vote, “but none with more charm,

prettier clothes – and less logic” than the fictional speaker in

this satire monologue. Contradicting as many points as she

makes – yet never noticing – this well-intentioned speaker

sincerely believes that her efforts as a “womanly woman”

will keep the home intact, and “save the nation from

anarchy.” Following this humorous spoof of a serious issue,

LaRue provides a short lecture and question and answer

period that puts arguments in social-historical context and

summarizes Marie Jenny Howe’s career as a minister and

important catalyst in humanitarian and women’s

movements. The Library is at 461 Valley Rd., Wayne. For

info on this free event, call 973-694-4272 ext. 5408. W
