  • Here It Might, As Long As It’S Somewhere Worth Traveling
    BRUCE ROBISON Bruce Robison has been making music professionally for decades. He still discusses his craft with so much enthusiasm he sounds almost like a kid raving about superheroes. That infectious energy is evident in every note of his new album, Bruce Robison & the Back Porch Band, as well as his new project, The Next Waltz, a blossoming community of artists, fans and friends gathering both virtually and at his recording studio in Lockhart, just outside of Austin. In both cases, the point is to celebrate country music’s rich traditions while giving creativity free rein to go where it might, as long as it’s somewhere worth traveling. It’s also about celebrating Robison’s “love of the craft of song.” “Writing is where it all starts for me,” he explains. “Whether it’s my writing, or songs I want to do with somebody else. I love the mechanics of it; how simple it can be.” Keeping it simple — and organic — was the guiding principle behind the latest album, a collection of Robison originals, co-writes and covers that capture country’s most beloved stylistic elements: good-time, lighthearted romps (“Rock and Roll Honky Tonk Ramblin’ Man”; “Paid My Dues”) and wistful, sometimes bittersweet ballads (“Long Time Coming”; “Still Doin’ Time”). But even the Who’s “Squeezebox” — which Robison calls “a great country song by some English dudes” — shows up, in a lively version dressed with cajun fiddle by Warren Hood and acoustic guitar and harmonies by Robison’s wife, Kelly Willis. Hood is one of a hand-picked crew of regulars tapped for Next Waltz recording sessions with Jerry Jeff Walker, Randy Rogers, Jack Ingram, Rodney Crowell, Willis, Hayes Carll, Turnpike Troubadours, Sunny Sweeney, Reckless Kelly and others.

Ballard Chairperson, Thesis Committee Gary R. Boye Member, Thesis Committee David H. Wood Member, Thesis Committee William R. Schumann Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.

There is often confusion regarding terminology related to the study of the history and culture of the indigenous people of the North American continent. For the purposes of this handbook, the term “Native American” refers to the original human inhabitants (and their descendants) of this continent at the time of first recorded European contact (1492), including the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. The term “American Indian” (or “Indian”) will refer primarily to the original inhabitants of the contiguous United States.
