A Message from the President The Bluegrass Music Association of Canada Newsletter-Volume 2 Issue 3-July 2008 EARL SCRUGGS at BEAN BLOSSOM-2008 We received an unexpected treat when Earl Scruggs appeared as a special guest with "Lizzy Long & Friends" on the Saturday night show on June 14th. www.bmacc.ca A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT he summer months are blasting by and most of us are so busy T performing or taking in Bluegrass Festivals we hardly have time to unpack the camper before we are off again. The BMACC board has been working on several projects since our last meeting and most are still a work in progress. Your board has taken the necessary first steps in the direction of achieving a Juno category for Bluegrass in Canada. If any one has cut a Bluegrass CD in the past two years please let us know. If you have done a CD it would be nice to make sure it is recognized in the BMACC Notes maybe in our next issue. We are working on a Bluegrass communications network that will span not only Central Canada but all of Canada. IBMA offers a reduced instrument insurance rate for members and it is our hope to have the same insurance company offer coverage to our members. In our constant drive to promote Bluegrass Music BMACC has booked a showcase room at the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals annual conference to be held in Ottawa on October 23, 24, 25, 2008. The exposure we get at one of the largest Folk Festival Conferences, could very well lead to more Bluegrass Music being played at Folk Festivals all over Ontario and Canada. Bands interested in showcasing are responsible for their own travel and related costs. The fee for showcasing, payable to BMACC, is $100 per band for members and $150 for nonmembers. Bands wishing to apply can contact me at [email protected] or Phone 1-519-469-3392. More details will be posted to our web page mid August. The BMACC board has reserved the showcase room for our members at a cost of approximately $1,500. Special thanks go out to the Country Music News an Ottawa publication offering a Bluegrass section and helping promote BMACC and Bluegrass clubs and events. One more great place to get Bluegrass Music information and advertise your event or band. We look forward to hearing from our many members and friends as we continue to grow. Bluegrass is really blossoming and wouldn't it be nice to WHAT"S INSIDE see some sold out shows. Spread the word; support your clubs, and From the Membership Chair-Page 3 BMACC.

  • Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.

  • Understanding the Weedy Chenopodium Complex in the North Central States
    UNDERSTANDING THE WEEDY CHENOPODIUM COMPLEX IN THE NORTH CENTRAL STATES BY SUKHVINDER SINGH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Crop Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Patrick J. Tranel, Chair Associate Professor Aaron G. Hager Associate Professor Geoffrey A. Levin Assistant Professor Matthew E. Hudson ABSTRACT The genus Chenopodium consists of several important weed species, including Chenopodium album, C. berlandieri, C. strictum, and C. ficifolium. All of these species share similar vegetative morphology and high phenotypic plasticity, which makes it difficult to correctly identify these species. All of these weedy Chenopodium species have developed resistance to one or more classes of herbicides. An experiment was conducted to determine if there is variability in response of Chenopodium species present in the North Central states to glyphosate. Our results indicate variable responses within and among the Chenopodium species. Species such as C. berlandieri and C. ficifolium had higher levels of tolerance to glyphosate than did various accessions of C. album. In another experiment, 33 populations of Chenopodium sampled across six North Central states were screened with glyphosate. The results showed variable responses to glyphosate within and among the Chenopodium populations. In general, the Chenopodium populations from Iowa were more tolerant, but some biotypes from North Dakota, Indiana and Kansas also had significantly high tolerance to glyphosate. Given there are species other than C. album that have high tolerance to glyphosate, and there are Chenopodium populations across the North Central states that showed tolerance to glyphosate, one intriguing question was to whether the Chenopodium populations were either biotypes of C.

    November 09 Newsletter ------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records PO Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone/fax: (02)95311710 Email:[email protected] Web: www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage: 1cd $2/ 2cds 3-4 cds $6.50 ------------------------------------------------ Loudon Wainwright III “High Wide & Handsome – The Charlie Poole Project” 2cds $35. If you have any passion at all for bluegrass or old timey music then this will be (hands down) your album of the year. Loudon Wainwright is an artist I have long admired since I heard a song called “Samson and the Warden” (a wonderfully witty tale of a guy who doesn’t mind being in gaol so long as the warden doesn’t cut his hair) on an ABC radio show called “Room to Move” many years ago. A few years later he had his one and only “hit” with the novelty “Dead Skunk”. Now Loudon pundits will compare the instrumentation on this album with that on that song, and if a real pundit with that of his “The Swimming Song”. The backing is restrained. Banjo (Poole’s own instrument of choice), with guitar, some great mandolin (from Chris Thile) some fiddle (multi instrumentalist David Mansfield), some piano and harmonica and on a couple of tracks some horns. Now, Charlie Poole to the uninitiated was a major star in the very early days of country music. He is said to have pursued a musical career so he wouldn’t have to work and at the same time he could ensure his primary source of income, bootleg liquor, was properly distilled. He was no writer and adapted songs he had heard to his style.
