Healy, a 7th grade student at Jefferson The six advanced students pictured here, ranging from 6th grade to first year college, represent a total of at least 70 years of dance experience, a feat of dedication and artistic passion unlike almost any other artistic, athletic or academic pursuit. “We even have to know more technical terms than a football player,” Healy said proudly.

WHINE OF THE WEEK Submitted By A disappointed school supporter, Jamestown Our school teachers, athletic and band coaches are missing a great opportunity. School kids selling items, canvassing for pledges or raising funds at store fronts are being abused as cheap labor. Door-to-door sellers don’t have receipts or know what they are, and can’t even explain what they are raising money for. Recently, we got only half of our order, may have lost half of our money, and the child’s records were incomplete. Teachers, you owe these children and their parents a lot more coaching, teaching and information. They deserve to be enthusiastic instead of embarrassed as street beggars. It’s not their fault they are unprepared.

  • Facing the Future with a Foot in the Past Americana, Nostalgia, and the Humanization of Musical Experience
    Facing the Future with a Foot in the Past Americana, Nostalgia, and the Humanization of Musical Experience by Christine Sarah Steinbock A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Christine Sarah Steinbock ii Abstract Facing the Future with a Foot in the Past Americana, Nostalgia, and the Humanization of Musical Experience Americana, a musical genre defined by its place in a lineage of roots music styles and a nostalgic outlook is enjoying increasing mainstream popularity in response to general societal unease about the fast pace of social change and the increasing presence of technology in everyday life. Americana artists’ invocations of the past cultivate a psychic landscape of collective memory that quells fears of change by asserting the sustained value of the past. Instead of actively resisting social and technological change Americana artists, listeners and promoters embrace technology in service of a nostalgically- motivated humanization and disintermediation of musical performance and consumption. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings (who perform as “Gillian Welch”) and their 2011 album The Harrow & the Harvest are analyzed vis-à-vis the ways in which their musical and visual invocations of the rural past dialogue with a psychic landscape of collective memory. iii Acknowledgements I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to study in the Music and Culture program at Carleton and the privilege of working alongside such dedicated scholars, professors and fellow students alike. I want to especially thank my supervisor, Dr.
