  • Aint Gonna Study War No More / Down by the Riverside
    The Danish Peace Academy 1 Holger Terp: Aint gonna study war no more Ain't gonna study war no more By Holger Terp American gospel, workers- and peace song. Author: Text: Unknown, after 1917. Music: John J. Nolan 1902. Alternative titles: “Ain' go'n' to study war no mo'”, “Ain't gonna grieve my Lord no more”, “Ain't Gwine to Study War No More”, “Down by de Ribberside”, “Down by the River”, “Down by the Riverside”, “Going to Pull My War-Clothes” and “Study war no more” A very old spiritual that was originally known as Study War No More. It started out as a song associated with the slaves’ struggle for freedom, but after the American Civil War (1861-65) it became a very high-spirited peace song for people who were fed up with fighting.1 And the folk singer Pete Seeger notes on the record “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy and Other Love Songs”, that: "'Down by the Riverside' is, of course, one of the oldest of the Negro spirituals, coming out of the South in the years following the Civil War."2 But is the song as we know it today really as old as it is claimed without any sources? The earliest printed version of “Ain't gonna study war no more” is from 1918; while the notes to the song were published in 1902 as music to a love song by John J. Nolan.3 1 http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/grovemusic/spirituals,_hymns,_gospel_songs.htm 2 Thanks to Ulf Sandberg, Sweden, for the Pete Seeger quote.

  • Walnut Ridge Rock 'N Roll Highway
    Walnut Ridge Rock ‘N Roll Highway As the train rolls through northeastern Arkansas and you listen to the rhythm of the rails, let your imagination roam back in time to 1955 when rock ‘n roll was fresh and wild in local nightclubs. Cotton fields surrounded towns like Walnut Ridge and nearby Swifton and Newport. Many people, black and white, spent long, hot days in the cotton fields, and were more than ready to rock on a Friday or Saturday night. And rock they did, to the music and magnetism of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Charlie Rich, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Rob Orbison, Sonny Burgess and Billy Lee Riley. Every weekend, folks here could dance to the fast new beats and be energized by the entertainers of early rock ‘n roll history. What drew these great performers and audiences to rural Jackson County? Those who drove in from surrounding counties to listen and dance were drawn by the music, of course, but also for refreshments. All of the surrounding counties were “dry,” meaning they prohibited alcohol, so folks would come from miles around to drink and rock in Jackson County. We remember Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash as famous, wealthy performers, but during the 50s they were struggling musicians trying to make enough money to get by. In order to entice early rockers to Arkansas, the venues on Route 67 paid more than clubs in Memphis and other cities, so they were able to attract novel talent to perform in nightspots which ranged from dangerous dives to upscale clubs.
