On May 2, 1982 the Youthsound Choir and Stage Band performed at Portland’s Jefferson High School. With youth ranging from elementary through high school, this 100-voice mass choir under the direction of Ken Berry was poised to sing an array of uptempo spirituals. Their backing big band contained a who’s who of Albina’s adult musicians interspersed with youth. The feeling in the air was electric. An audience of 1,500 had awaited this moment - along with the city’s fire marshall, insisting that maximum capacity had been reached.
The story of Youthsound is the story of resilience, mentorship, and mutual aid. With an approaching local bond measure that would increase Portland Public Schools’ investment in the arts, the Youthsound concert was made possible through efforts of recruitment, rehearsal, fundraising, and lobbying to demonstrate what this community was capable of with increased resources. According to band mentor Ronnye Harrison, “We didn’t wait around for the city or anyone else because we knew no one was coming. We just needed a place to rehearse that was safe for the kids and where their families felt safe.”
This is also the story of The World Arts Foundation. Youthsound is one of many programs that comprise WAF’s legacy. Later evolving into the Cultural Recreation Band and then the American Music Program, Youthsound marks the beginning of a legacy that has produced musicians such as Esperanza Spaulding, Charlie Brown III, and Domo Branch.
True to AMT’s release format, this vinyl package contains a 12-page booklet featuring archival photography and a detailed oral history of the group - executive produced by Ken Berry, and with design and art direction by Brian Mumford and Bobby Smith respectively. Originally broadcast on community radio and cable access, the recording by Thomas Robinson and Evan Shales (The Wipers, The Rats) has been masterfully preserved by Gus Elg from a variety of source tapes. The backing band here is heavy, featuring members of nearly every band released in AMT’s catalog - not to mention members of Pleasure, the pianist Janice Scroggins, and the Ghanaian master drummer Obo Addy.
In the words of World Arts Foundation’s co-founder Michael ‘Chappie’ Grice, “We’re here to speak to you in a language that is universally understood throughout the world. It is called… music.”

Amazing Tanning lotion.
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This is by far the best tanning lotion I've ever used
Goes on wet but absorbs completely. Doesn't leave your skin oily. It's not one for people with fare skin unless your used to the sun because theres no sunscreen.

Works amazingly but the scent is horrible like sweaty self tan
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
I’m giving this 3 stars due to the scent. It’s horrible. Not so much right away but after about 20 min and even after showering. I’m pretty sure it has self tanner in it. It doesn’t say this! So that’s bad. However, I had no orange on me anywhere or my hands.
The good, and if it weren’t for the scent? This stuff works so well! It’s so moisturizing without being too oily. It goes on good and evenly and doesn’t take much at all. My skin feels really good afterwards. It’s advertised as an intensifier and has no sunscreen which is what I wanted. But Omgosh the stink is real! Mixed with sweat it’s even worse.

Another B.tan product I loveeee
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Loveeee! I only have experience using in a UV bed but it works wonderfully. Not super oily and gross on the skin, no strong odor but “summer” scent is light and refreshing. I do think it does have instant bronzer in it or potentially gradual tanning affects (like jergens lotion) because I had run a few errands after and my palms had gotten a tad orangey, it was gone after I exfoliated in shower though! Looking forward to using over summer
Love all b.tan products. The aerosol self tanner “tanned af” is the best for instant results!

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.

Great for pore reduction
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This product works great!! it almost feels like an exfoliator. It reduced the pours on my nose, which were very big and now you can barely see them. I would recommend this product if you have large pores also make skin look firmer and smoother more for a night cream though.
