Counselor’s songs
By Jeff Randall
Staff Reporter
When most musicians sing about
anger or happiness, they have a pretty
good idea or what they are feeling.
But Darryl Parker Tonemah has
more than that; he has an expert opin
ion.
Tonemah, who has spent the last
10 years working toward a doctorate
in counseling psychology, is a soon
to-be doctor of psychology ... and a
soon-to-be nationally touring rock
musician. His first recorded effort,
“Can You Hear Me,” will likely have
national distribution by this summer.
“Songwriting is a way of explor
ing my soul and discovering how I
think,” Tonemah said. “And it makes
me think about why I think ...
metacognition, it’s called.”
Tonemah and his band, the Folks,
play what he described as “... folk,
rock, country, barbershop quartet,
opera...” with Tonemah as vocalist
and guitarist.
“I have to look into myself a lot
when I deal with people as a counse
lor,” he said. “And that introspection
has helped me to write songs.
“I’m a little less fearful of trying
to understand myself, and I can con
front my emotions a little easier than
most people, I think.”
But, Tonemah said, songs and
words come from outer sources just
as often as they come from inner
ones.
As a descendant of Quanah Parker,
a famous chief of the Comanche Indi
ans, and a member of the Comanche,
Kiowa and Tuscarora tribes, Tonemah
said he often looked to his own cul
ture for musical inspiration.
Historical episodes such as bro
ken treaties and more personal expe
riences such as racism greatly influ
ence his music, Tonemah said. He
said his songs often turned into meta
phorical interpretations, a tactic that
he borrowed from the Native Ameri
can tradition of storytelling.
“My inspiration tends to be differ
ent from what the actual song is
about,” Tonemah said, “and that gives
people a wider range to interpret
them”
Watching people react to his mu
sic during live performances, though,
was an experience that Tonemah said
equalled no other.
“When I get to perform and the
crowd is there and they’re really into
it, there’s nothing that compares to
it,” he said. “You’re really touching
somebody, and you can see it touch
ing them.”
But the allure of the rock ‘n’ roll
life, Tonemah said, is at odds with his
other plans regarding a career in psy
chological counseling.
“The music thing ha& really been
taking off lately, and MoVe nearly
everything about it,” he said. “But
psychology is, for me, a more practi
cal way to give back and help out the
native people.”
No matter where his career deci
sions take him, though, music will
always remain a part of Tonemah’s
life.
“Music is a passion of mine,” he
said. “If I didn’t have a band and I
didn’t have a CD, I’d still play in my
bedroom every night.”
Tonemah will give students at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln a
chance to see him perform live with
his band tonight at 7:30 at the Culture
Center.
Admission is free, but donations
will be taken to help defray the costs
of piano rental and to benefit chari
ties that support Oklahoma City
bombing victims.
Sneak a peek at local theater
By Gerry Beltz
Senior Reporter
The Douglas Theater Company
•will present Sneak-A-Peek II, pre
views of summer movies, this Sat
urday at 11 a.m. at the Stuart The
ater, 13th and P streets.
LaDawn Capek, Sneak-a-Peek
coordinator, said the idea for
Sneak-a-Peek actually started from
a project she worked on at Doane
College last year.
‘‘I studied what motivates
people to attend movies,” Capek
said, “and I found out that trailers
w^re 'one of the most important
factors.”
During her time as manager of
the Stuart Theater, Capek ap
proached Douglas Theater Com
pany management about Sneak-a
Peek, and they were very receptive
to the concept.
“If we (managers) have an idea
that will help market movies, they
are always willing to work with
us.”
At this year’s Sneak-a-Peek, in
addition to a taste of summer movie
releases, there will be free pop and
popcorn, as well as a taste-test of
concessions items new to Douglas
Theater Company concession
stands.
Doug Kinney, Lincoln city
manager, said there would be a
couple of new items to sample at
Sneak-a-Peek II, including a new
kind of popcorn oil.
“We’re trying out PopWise,”
Kinney said, “a new popping oil
that smells and tastes like coconut
oil, but has even less fat.
“We already use Pop-n-Light,
which has 50 percent less fat than
regular oil, but this stuff has even
Other trial items include candy
samples and chips and salsa. Plus,
Lazzari’s will be on hand with
samples of its pizza, Capek said.
It doesn’t stop with just free
food and previews, Capek said;
there will be prizes, too.
“We’ve got almost 100 prizes
to give away,” Capek said, “like
‘Crimson Tide’ hats, Paramount
Pictures T-shirts, and ‘Judge
Dredd’ T-shirts, stuff like that.”
About 20 movie trailers will be
shown at this year’s Sneak-a-Peek,
and Capek said the line-up still
wasn’t completely set.
“The trailers are still coming
in,” Capek said.
Choosing which trailers to play
was sometimes a difficult deci
sion, she said. Sometimes Capek
didn’t have a choice.
“A lot of the late summer re
leases, like ‘Under Siege 2: Dark
Territory’, just aren’t available.
“We tried to pick movies that
we thought would have good trail
ers.”
Both Capek and Kinney agreed
that Sneak-a-Peek was something
Douglas Theater Company Would
try to put on at least once a year.
“’Hie amount of movies that
come out in summer really makes
it worthwhile,” Kinney said.
Capek also would like to have a
Sneak-a-Peek at Christmas time,
she said.
“Last year, we didn’t have time
to get one together, but we would
like to have one.”
The doors will open at 10:30
a.m., and the trailers will start at 11
ajn. Admission is free.
