Ill in I S University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign H ILL IN I S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. Number 22 ( i w November 21, 1,964 SEEGER-BOGGS CONCERT-LECTURE TO BE GIVEN DECEMBER 8 AND 9, 1964 Come all you good time people While I've got money to spend. Tomorrow might mean money And I neither have a dollar nor a friend. Dock Boggs is a man of sensitivity and honesty when it comes to music--he is a man with his own interesting style, known by most as "blues banjo." But no matter what you call it, it is unique and haunting in its esoteric way. For Dock, the songs that he sings are his life capsuled in music, and when he sings them, his body and face cry their meaning, Dock is sixty-six years old, but he is young in his mind and his playing, and his fingers are as spry as ever. His feeling for his music springs from the very hard life that he had led, as is indicated in the above stanza from one of his best known songs, "The Country Blues," which may be heard on the Smith Anthology of Folk Music. In the July, 196h issue of Sing Out magazine, Dock tells about some of his experiences in the coal mines. He describes the trouble that they had unionizing, and of the great number of accidents that occurred in the dangerous mines. In his own words Dock describes his feelings on the music that he sings: "...(it's) something I've been 50 or 53 years learning, and plenty of the younger generation wants to learn...I feel I am doing something worthwhile for my country; as long as the Lord gives me strength and health and people want to hear me and I can make a little money, I intend to give it to them." Dock will be accompanied by Mike Seeger of the New Lost City Ramblers. Mike plays guitar, banjo, fiddle, autoharp, mandolin and harmonica, though he probably won't play all of these on Wednesday night. On December 8th Mike will give a lecture in l1l Commerce Building, and the next night, the 9th, Dock and Mike will give a concert in the Illini Room. Both events will take place at 8:00 p.m. LIFE WITH CFC Twang'. (plunk) Twang'. (plunk plunk)...That's the sound of a guitar class in full swing. Every Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock I join fifteen or twenty other "advanced" guitar students at the Illini Union for my guitar lessons. The benefits of this adventure are certainly multifold: first, I am learning to play the chorus to "John Henry" with my shiny steel finger picks and little plastic thumb pick; second, while twang-plunking away I can gaze into the handsome eyes of our leader and instructor, Jont Allen; and third, I get all these benefits for the paltry sum of three dollars and fifty cents. Isn't that a bargain for anyone '. I could have taken banjo lessons, also, but they are held at 2 o'clock, too. Or maybe I should have joined the "beginners" at 1 o'clock. Frankly, I feel fine right where I am. Where's that? In the Campus Folksong Club, of course. How'd I get there? Well, thatts a long story. You see, I was a freshman like any other freshman--except for one fact. I attended Freshman Conference. Now this was not entirely my idea of a lovely way to spend the last few days before my banishment to the U of I campus (as my little freshie mind conjectured); but with my father's helping push, I arrived at the YMCA-YWCA Encampment. As I sat there one day, minding my own business and happily slugging homers and doubles for our baseball team, (the trip was highly educational), a big bear-like creature rode into view. Not exactly bear-like though; more the creature-from-outer-space type. It had a helmet on its head, a shaggy face (one of those funny beards, you know) and a huge, bulky covering over its upper half. After watching it gracefully dismount from its mobile vehicle (a Honda to us earthlings), I returned to my baseball game. That night at our cozy bonfire (we called it a bonfire out of politeness, as it was rather small), I learned that the creature had singled me out. I, too, have hair under my chin. It seems that he was the Leader of a non-profit organization entitled the Campus Folksong Club (I knew he was from outer space) and he was trying to attract people to the Club. Being a typical, trusting freshman, I was attracted. Introductions and discussions ensued. President Allen presented me with a two-foot- long list of committee chairmanships and calmly said, "Choose one." Stabbing with the fingernail of my right index finger (I honestly had fingernails before I took guitar lessons. Fingers, too.), I hit upon a job marked Folksing. "Oh, Folksing'." I exclaimed, "What's that?" "Oh, Folksing ." he exclaimed, "that's tough luck ." And soon I was attending meetings, talking to outside organizations, arranging Folksings, cornering folksingers and prying into their lives, and generally having a ball making a nuisance of myself. As I sit here drawing delicate, intricate, and artistic posters for our next Folksings, I look back on it all in nostalgia (ad "nauseum"?). My life has been radically changed since the Club took me in. My knowledge of bluegrass and other folk music had been rather superficial up till now. I didn't even know Doc Watson had a family'. Now, however, the Campus Folksong Club and its members consume half my time here at college. Between executive committee meetings, Folksings, and private meetings with the President, I am completely steeped in folk music. In fact, I'm even starting to look like a guitar. Meanwhile, my natural feminine shyness is hiding in a corner of myself: with my present duties, I can't afford to be bashful. I guess you might say that CFC is helping me develop into a well-rounded person. Pinning down those folksingers, recording names, places, and events, conducting a Folksing for all those shining faces out there--all these duties are turning me into a responsible and dependable person. Providing entertainment for a keen, alert audience is as thrilling to me as it is to them. And if I need help, I can always call on President Jont, VP John Munday, or our advisor, Archie Green. Between these duties, though, I keep up my twang-plunking in hopes that some day I too can play the chorus to "John Henry." Every Saturday I trudge up to 217 Illini Union (the ancient part) and go through that little green door. I pluck away at my A-string with my shiny steel finger picks and at my G-string with my little plastic thumb pick while gazing into the handsome eyes of our instructor and leader, Jont Allen--and all for the paltry sum of three dollars and fifty cents. Isn't that a bargain for anyone , -- Carol Palmer A GENERAL BUSINESS MEETING of THE CAMPUS FOLKSONG CLUB is called for WEDNESDAY -- DECEMBER 2, 1964 at 8:00 pm in ROOM 215 ILLINI UNION Members Please Note: Various constitutional amendments will be considered and voted on.

They Sang ' They Conquered t This sums up the Campus Folksong Club's first concert of this season in which the nearly-forgotten Blue Sky Boys of North Carolina were presented. From the opening strains of their old radio theme song, "Are You From Dixie," to the closing strains of this same song presented as an encore, the Blue Sky Boys, Bill and Earl Bolick, indeed had conquered the hearts of the audience. After a brief introduction they opened the program with the first song they recorded for Victor Records in 1936, "I'm Just Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail." They continued with such numbers as "The Knoxville Girl," "The Fox," "Kentucky," "Sunny Side of Life," "Little Bessie," "In the Hills of Roane County," and many many more.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Glenn Miller 1939 the Year He Found the Sound
    GLENN MILLER 1939 THE YEAR HE FOUND THE SOUND Dedicated to the Glenn Miller Birthpace Society June 2019 Prepared by: Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archives Alton Glenn Miller (1904-1944) From Glenn Miller Declassified © 2017 Dennis M. Spragg Sound Roots Glenn Miller was one of the foremost popular music celebrities of the twentieth century. The creative musician and successful businessman was remarkably intuitive and organized, but far from perfect. His instincts were uncanny, although like any human being, he made mistakes. His record sales, radio popularity, and box-office success at theaters and dance halls across the nation were unsurpassed. He had not come to fame and fortune without struggle and was often judgmental and stubborn. He had remarkable insight into public taste and was not afraid to take risks. To understand Miller is to appreciate his ideals and authenticity, essential characteristics of a prominent man who came from virtually nothing. He sincerely believed he owed something to the nation he loved and the fellow countrymen who bought his records. The third child of Lewis Elmer Miller and Mattie Lou Cavender, Alton Glen Miller was born March 1, 1904, at 601 South 16th Street in Clarinda, a small farming community tucked in the southwest corner of Iowa. Miller’s middle name changed to Glenn several years later in Nebraska. His father was an itinerant carpenter, and his mother taught school. His older brother, Elmer Deane, was a dentist. In 1906 Miller’s father took his family to the harsh sand hills of Tryon, Nebraska, near North Platte. The family moved to Hershey, Nebraska, in the fall of 1912 and returned to North Platte in July 1913, where Glenn’s younger siblings John Herbert and Emma Irene were born.

  • Ferguson on Huber, 'Linthead Stomp: the Creation of Country Music in the Piedmont South'
    H-Southern-Music Ferguson on Huber, 'Linthead Stomp: The Creation of Country Music in the Piedmont South' Review published on Friday, November 13, 2009 Patrick Huber. Linthead Stomp: The Creation of Country Music in the Piedmont South. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2008. 440 pp. $30.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8078-3225-7. Reviewed by Robert H. FergusonPublished on H-Southern-Music (November, 2009) Commissioned by Christopher J. Scott Contextualizing Early Country Music and Modernity Since 1968, when country music historian Bill C. Malone publishedCountry Music U.S.A. to an initially incredulous academic audience, historians have come to view the study of country music, and its predecessors and offshoots, as intrinsically valuable. College catalogues routinely offer courses that incorporate country music, while social, cultural, and labor historians often deploy country song lyrics as primary documents. Historians, though, are frequently the last of the academic ilk to sense a new trend of study. But Malone, with the guidance and “tolerance” of his dissertation advisor, saw the merit in viewing country music as cultural markers for the lives and experiences of poor white Americans, a population often ignored by the historic record.[1] Malone and the late folklorist Archie Green, who published his influential article on hillbilly music only three years prior to Malone’s Country Music U.S.A., remain the earliest and most influential scholars of country and hillbilly music.[2] In Linthead Stomp, it is fitting that Patrick Huber draws heavily from the disciplines of both history and folklore to weave a compelling study of commercial hillbilly music and the Piedmont millhands who made up the majority of the musicians on record.

It’s been really interesting to view the wide range of responses from our readers: what one loves, another despises. We know that extreme reactions indicate passion, and we want to encourage that...without provoking bloodshed, of course! Our columnists represent a diversity of topics and viewpoints, something for everyone. This issue, Seth Godin writes about the joys of teetering on the edge of control. Richard Murison samples the subject of sample rates. Dan Schwartz looks back at his development as a professional bassist, and his part in a legendary recording. Lawrence Schenbeck revisits the concept of The Shock of the New, as it applies to music.

  • 2012 Conference Abstracts
    2012 CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS IN A GENESEE GROOVE: CULTURE, INDUSTRY AND RECORDED SOUND IN ROCHESTER Thursday 8:45a-10:45a Plenary Session Flour/Flower Power: Rochester's Music from Jenny Lind to George Eastman Gerry Szymanski, Sibley Music Library, Eastman School of Music As one of America’s first boomtowns, Rochester expanded at a rapid pace after the completion of the Erie Canal. But how did it go from a hardscrabble frontier settlement to a world-renowned bastion of concert music? Gerry Szymanski will explore the early music history of a city that moved from flour mills to flower beds and on to become the photographic capital of the world. From the visit of Swedish Nightingale Jenny Lind in 1851, until the grand opening of the Eastman Theatre with the silent (yet accompanied) Prisoner of Zenda, Gerry will review a panorama of Rochester’s contributions to the world of music. The Flowering of the Phonograph in the Flower City Tim Fabrizio The Phonograph came to Rochester, NY on May 20th 1878, a short time after the formation of the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company. Thereby began a relationship between this city and recorded sound, manifest in the enterprise and commerce spawned by Edison's great achievement. Rochester's journey through the early history of recorded sound was both prosaic and unique, an American odyssey in an age of invention. Howard Hanson on Record Uncle Dave Lewis, Uncle Dave Archive For 40 years, Howard Hanson was the guiding light of the Eastman School of Music; today he is best remembered as one of America's great 20th Century composers and perhaps her leading symphonist of that era.
