I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning, And my heart beat fast as I came through the door for: (chorus) In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it, You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade. I'll be all in clover, and when they look you over I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.

“White Christmas”—Bing Crosby (1942) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Cary O’Dell
“White Christmas”—Bing Crosby (1942) Added to the National Registry: 2002 Essay by Cary O’Dell Crosby’s 1945 holiday album Original release label “Holiday Inn” movie poster With the possible exception of “Silent Night,” no other song is more identified with the holiday season than “White Christmas.” And no singer is more identified with it than its originator, Bing Crosby. And, perhaps, rightfully so. Surely no other Christmas tune has ever had the commercial or cultural impact as this song or sold as many copies--50 million by most estimates, making it the best-selling record in history. Irving Berlin wrote “White Christmas” in 1940. Legends differ as to where and how though. Some say he wrote it poolside at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona, a reasonable theory considering the song’s wishing for wintery weather. Some though say that’s just a good story. Furthermore, some histories say Berlin knew from the beginning that the song was going to be a massive hit but another account says when he brought it to producer-director Mark Sandrich, Berlin unassumingly described it as only “an amusing little number.” Likewise, Bing Crosby himself is said to have found the song only merely adequate at first. Regardless, everyone agrees that it was in 1942, when Sandrich was readying a Christmas- themed motion picture “Holiday Inn,” that the song made its debut. The film starred Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby and it needed a holiday song to be sung by Crosby and his leading lady, Marjorie Reynolds (whose vocals were dubbed). Enter “White Christmas.” Though the film would not be seen for many months, millions of Americans got to hear it on Christmas night, 1941, when Crosby sang it alone on his top-rated radio show “The Kraft Music Hall.” On May 29, 1942, he recorded it during the sessions for the “Holiday Inn” album issued that year.

In your Easter bonnet With all the frills upon it You'll be the grandest lady In the Easter Parade In 1933, the great American songwriter Irving Berlin published a song that he titled Easter Parade. In 1948 it was immortalized in a movie (also called Easter Parade) that featured Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. Although the story of the movie is fictional, the event it portrayed – a million or more people, all dressed in their Easter finery, parading down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on Easter Sunday – had started as a spontaneous event in the 1870’s and had grown more popular with each passing year. It might surprise you to know that the concept of the Easter parade – or, more correctly, an Easter procession – has a strong religious background. In a tradition still followed by some churches (including some Lutheran churches), the faithful would gather outside the church on Easter morning and process together into the sanctuary as Easter hymns of joy were sung. This coincided with another ancient tradition, where newly catechized Christian converts were baptized at sunrise on Easter Sunday, dressed in white robes to symbolize purity and holiness. Soon after he legalized Christianity in 313 A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine issued a ruling that Christians should dress in their finest clothes and parade in honor of Christ’s resurrection. One other religious-related aspect of the Easter parade is that less than 200 years ago, churches usually did not make any efforts to beautify their sanctuaries on Easter morning.

Wielkanocne pisanki, święconka, śmigus–dyngus to typowe polskie zwyczaje związane ze świętem Wielkiej Nocy. Egg Rolling w Anglii, Judasze w Czechach i pikniki we Włoszech. Jakie inne zwyczaje panują wśród mieszkańców krajów Europy? Święta Wielkanocne w Polsce obfitują w tradycje i zwyczaje ludowe, z których część jest wciąż żywo kultywowana, a część coraz bardziej zanika. Niektóre zwyczaje i tradycje wielkanocne przetrwały do dzisiaj w nieco zmodyfikowanej formie. Czym jest pogrzeb żuru i śledzia, wieszanie Judasza, Siuda Baba, Emaus i kurek dyngusowy? W zależności od tego, w jakiej części kraju mieszkamy, możemy znać różne tradycje i zwyczaje Świąt Wielkanocnych. Święcenie pokarmów Zwyczaj święcenia pokarmów w Wielką Sobotę na korzenie pogańskie, ale został uświęcony przez Kościół. Dzisiaj święcimy w Kościele tylko symboliczne pokarmy, które mieszczą się w niewielkim, zazwyczaj wiklinowym koszyku. Zawartość takiej święconki może być też różna, w zależności od danego regionu. Nie może jednak zabraknąć: jajek, chleba, kiełbasy lub wędlin, soli, baranka (z masła lub cukru), chrzanu oraz kawałka domowego ciasta. Dawniej święcono wszystkie pokarmy, które miały zostać spożyte w czasie wielkanocnego śniadania! Układano je w większych koszach i zanoszono do kościoła lub święcono przy kapliczce.

Perle Mesta was the first United States Ambassador to MADAM Luxembourg. The original “hostess with the mostest,” Mes- ta was known for hosting lavish parties in Washington D.C for almost 30 years. Born in Oklahoma, her family came into wealth when her father became involved in the oil and real-estate industries. In 1917 she married George Mesta, owner of Mesta Machinery. Mrs. Mesta became interested in politics when her husband introduced her to several high-ranking officials, including President Calvin Coolidge. Following her husband’s death, she became heavily involved in the quest for women’s rights and joined the National Women’s Party as its Congressional chairman and Public Relations specialist. While lobbying for the Equal Rights Amendment, she made a multitude of con- nections with politicians who would later attend her famous social gatherings. A Republican for most of her life, Mesta realigned herself with the Democratic party, opting to give financial support to then Senator Harry Truman.

Indeed, the first indige- nous U.S. popular music to capture the imagination of a broad public, at home and abroad, was blackface minstrelsy, a cultural form involving mostly Northern whites in blackened faces, parodying their perceptions of African American culture. Minstrelsy appeared at a time when songwriting and music publishing were dispersed throughout the country and sound record- The institution of slavery has been ing had not yet been invented.

In contrast, domestic popular music, including minstrel music, was first tested in smaller towns, then went to larger urban areas, and entered New York only after success elsewhere. Songwriting and music publishing were similarly dispersed. New York did not become the nerve center for indigenous popular music until later in the nineteenth century, when the pre- viously scattered conglomeration of songwriters and publishers began to converge on the Broadway and 28th Street section of the city, in an area that came to be called Tin Pan Alley after the tinny output of its upright pianos.

The Ritualisation of Food, Home and National Identity Among Polish Migrants

Special issue, ed. By M.Rabikowska. The Ritualisation of Food, Home and National Identity among Polish Migrants in London. Marta Rabikowska1 School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of East London, UK Abstract In this paper a process of negotiating identity among Polish migrants will be discussed in relation to their food habits: consumption, preparation and celebration. Through the ethnographic examination of food rituals the construction of meaning of home as both space and nationality will be observed and the attitude to the host culture will be revealed in the quotidian activities. The qualitative research based on interviews and visual ethnography has shown that there are three dominant ways of exchange with the local culture ranging from the least present to the ostentatiously conspicuous, named here as: orthodox, porous, and alternate. Each of them, however, is characterised by a perplexing degree of fluidity and sometimes contradiction which opposes the objectification of the models of culture, as had been already noticed by Bhaba (1994/2007) in relation to diasporic cultures and their tactics of adaptation. Home among Polish immigrants to the UK is a changing concept, open to negotiation, depending on their current 1 Corresponding author: Marta Rabikowska. Email.

Yet (re)creating home requires a certain dose of familiarity conceived from the meaning of Polishness which needs to be materialised from the past memories on a daily basis.

Rent Glossary of Terms
Rent Glossary of Terms 11th Street and Avenue B CBGB’s – More properly CBGB & OMFUG, a club on Bowery Ave between 1st and 2nd streets. The following is taken from the website http://www.cbgb.com. It is a history written by Hilly Kristal, the founder of CBGB and OMFUG. The question most often asked of me is, "What does CBGB stand for?" I reply, "It stands for the kind of music I intended to have, but not the kind that we became famous for: COUNTRY BLUEGRASS BLUES." The next question is always, "but what does OMFUG stand for?" and I say "That's more of what we do, It means OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS." And what is a gormandizer? It’s a voracious eater of, in this case, MUSIC. […] The obvious follow up question is often "is this your favorite kind of music?" No!!! I've always liked all kinds but half the radio stations all over the U.S. were playing country music, cool juke boxes were playing blues and bluegrass as well as folk and country. Also, a lot of my artist/writer friends were always going off to some fiddlers convention (bluegrass concert) or blues and folk festivals. So I thought it would be a whole lot of fun to have my own club with all this kind of music playing there. Unfortunately—or perhaps FORTUNATELY—things didn't work out quite the way I 'd expected. That first year was an exercise in persistence and a trial in patience. My determination to book only musicians who played their own music instead of copying others, was indomitable.

“To Be an American”: How Irving Berlin Assimilated Jewishness and Blackness in His Early Songs
“To Be an American”: How Irving Berlin Assimilated Jewishness and Blackness in his Early Songs A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2011 by Kimberly Gelbwasser B.M., Northwestern University, 2004 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2006 Committee Chair: Steven Cahn, Ph.D. Abstract During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, millions of immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Mediterranean countries arrived in the United States. New York City, in particular, became a hub where various nationalities coexisted and intermingled. Adding to the immigrant population were massive waves of former slaves migrating from the South. In this radically multicultural environment, Irving Berlin, a Jewish- Russian immigrant, became a songwriter. The cultural interaction that had the most profound effect upon Berlin’s early songwriting from 1907 to 1914 was that between his own Jewish population and the African-American population in New York City. In his early songs, Berlin highlights both Jewish and African- American stereotypical identities. Examining stereotypical ethnic markers in Berlin’s early songs reveals how he first revised and then traded his old Jewish identity for a new American identity as the “King of Ragtime.” This document presents two case studies that explore how Berlin not only incorporated stereotypical musical and textual markers of “blackness” within two of his individual Jewish novelty songs, but also converted them later to genres termed “coon” and “ragtime,” which were associated with African Americans.
