That’s it. Our move was around the time of the Bicentennial and I recall Deb Zakrzewski watching the Tall Ships sailing near the Statue of Liberty on our small black and white TV. [email protected] One of the biggest surprises of moving into our 1860s fixer-upper cottage was that there was a big ‘pine’ Art Production tree in the back yard and it shed its needles in the fall. I was sure I had killed it. Ends up it was a larch (a de- Chris Jones ciduous conifer) that had been planted at the same time as the beauties in Highland Park. I was so relieved neighbor.

Nancy Daley | [email protected] Anyplace where I lived that had a yard had hard, dry soil in desperate need of help. That’s where free leaves Printed By and regular kitchen scraps came in handy. It took 10 years of compost to bring back that yard and after 16 PrintRoc | printroc.com years there, I was finally pleased with the results. Contributing Writers Philip Duquette-Saville Maybe a little bird sitting in the larch tree told me to study local history. I did get glimpses of it during 13 Rose O’Keefe years at The Wedge newspaper. What? This was an Erie Canal village? I was prompted by SWPC volunteer Paula Frumusa Dave Halter to write my first local history book and then decided to have a Regional History Fair at the Lori Bryce German House in 2005.

Don Alcott Leslie Zinck Ward Working on this issue of the quarterly started with interviewing Monroe County Parks exec Larry Staub Katie Libby which led to a sidebar on the Children’s Pavilion, an article on Mount Hope Cemetery and finally these Toni Beth Weasner Deb Zakrzewski words. Contributing Photographers While writing about the cemetery, I remembered two things: 1 – that I had borrowed Richard Reisem’s Stephen S. Reardon book, “Buried Treasure in Mount Hope Cemetery” so many times from the library, that last fall I finally Karrie Laughton Chris Jones shamed myself into buying it. 2 – back in the days when the city did not enforce leash laws, we often let Living Styled our dogs run loose there. But I learned my lesson; our second dog would make a beeline for Sylvan Pond Dave Burnet and if I didn’t get her back on the leash in time, we drove home with a happy, wet, and stinky dog. Argh!

  • Cool Music Scene: Louisville, Kentucky
    Print http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Print/?PrintAliasPath=/en-us/Lifestyle... Cool Music Scene: Louisville, Kentucky Jonah Bayer | 02.21.2008 Forget about Seattle or Brooklyn. Over the past few decades Louisville, Kentucky, has quietly constructed one of the strongest music scenes in the country. Check out a few of the city’s most popular acts as well as a couple of newcomers. My Morning Jacket My Morning Jacket are perhaps the biggest band from Louisville, Kentucky, in the past decade—and the only band we know of that can unite jam band fanatics, indie rock purists, and classic rock enthusiasts alike. While all of the band’s albums are stellar, we recommend checking out their breakthrough 2003 album It Still Moves, which features “One Big Holiday,” a song that can be considered the “Free Bird” for the iTunes generation. Oh, and if that doesn’t impress you, Netflix a copy of their live DVD Okonokos, which beautifully showcases the cinematic grandeur of the band’s live performances. 1 of 4 2/25/2008 12:57 PM Print http://www.gibson.com/en%2Dus/Print/?PrintAliasPath=/en-us/Lifestyle... VHS Or Beta Like all great scenes, the Louisville music community is extremely incestuous. In fact, My Morning Jacket’s guitarists Jim James and Carl Broemel both guest star on VHS Or Beta’s latest album Bring On the Comments. That’s not to say that the bands sound the same—VHS Or Beta’s dance-influenced rock jams are more at home in a trance club setting than the Burning Man festival—but both acts have successfully elbowed aside any genre restrictions and helped to unite seemingly disparate scenes with their music.

    Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.

What did you hear, my darling young one?” -Bob Dylan, “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” 1963 In the midst of victorious rhetoric from the government, disturbing insight from the news media, and chaos from the protests, people heard the music of the Vietnam War era. The 1960s was known as a time of change, ranging from revised social norms to changing political stances to new popular music. Everyone seemed to have something to say about the war, musicians being no exception. The folk revival in the 1960s introduced young listeners to a different sound, one of rebellion and critical thought about their country.

As two of the world’s most vibrant and versatile musicians, neither James nor Abrams shies away from a challenge, and with The Order of Nature they’ve crafted a large-scale symphonic suite that has James’ evocative songs as its foundation. Abrams built a grand orchestral house on that foundation, and the result is an explosion of music that boldly synthesizes rock and classical while taking advantage of orchestral music’s inherently cinematic nature. Featuring unreleased new songs from James as well as re-imaginings from his solo catalog, the album will be released October 18 via Decca Gold. The lead track, “Set It To Song,” is available now with all pre-orders.
