Richmond Free Press a Paradigm Communications, Inc Richmond Free Press A Paradigm Communications, Inc. Publication 2020 NNPA Messenger Awards -AUDIENCE CATEGORY COMMUNITY SERVICE Carl Murphy Award When COVID-19 swept into Virginia and our capital city, Richmond, no one knew what to expect or how long schools, businesses, churches and even government would be shut down, much less the human toll the fatal virus would have on the people of our community. We, at the Richmond Free Press, a free weekly publication targeted to Richmond’s African-American community, also were impacted. Several of our staff members were hit early on with COVID-19-type symptoms. We shifted to work remotely, hoping our advertisers would stick with us through this novel event even as they faced uncertain futures. Our small staff went into high gear, putting together stories, photo packages, useful information and tips that included not only the critical pronouncements of local and state officials, but stories about the pandemic’s swift and sometimes tragic impact on people in our community. Since March, we have crafted stories, photo packages and editorials to be of service to our readers during a pandemic that has disproportionately impacted African-Americans and Latinos. Each week, our front page features a “Free COVID-19 testing” box, where people can quickly find information about free testing events in Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield health districts. The box has evolved during the pandemic and includes statistics on the numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths, as well as, currently, phone numbers and websites to sign up for a COVID-19 vaccine. We also have run the evolving lists of locations and times where parents of Richmond’s 24,000 public school children could pick up free breakfasts and lunches for their kids. Our staff has produced stories offering directions on how to make your own protective face mask; health tips to boost the immune system, including a recipe; and telehealth efforts to see a doctor or therapist for physical and emotional needs during the pandemic. Our photographers created on-going photo packages showing the shutdown’s impact on businesses; of people on their front porches as they stayed home; a tribute to Richmond’s high school valedictorians talking about lessons learned during the pandemic; and musicians playing porch concerts as people physically distanced in the street. We gave our readers a look at the pain and the triumph of life under COVID-19, of people sadly losing loved ones to the coronavirus; of finding out that a 1,200-person, citywide revival of Black churches was possibly a superspreader event in which at least six people died; of altered wedding plans and hosting a to-go Thanksgiving dinner for families from a back porch. Even as the city was rocked by racial justice demonstrations following the death of George Floyd, our staff continued COVID-19 coverage to inform, educate and uplift during the pandemic. Our entry, here, culminates with the rollout of the first vaccines in late December. We are heartened by the impact of our work. People continue to turn to the Free Press to find out where they can go for a free COVID-19 test; where they can pick up food for their children; what is happening with friends and neighbors; and to find answers to questions about stimulus checks, eviction assistance and other aid. And when some of our normal distribution points were shut down during the pandemic, people called to find out where they could continue to pick up the Free Press. Our staff is small, but we have a lot of heart. I hope you will join me in endorsing the Richmond Free Press for the NNPA Carl Murphy Community Service Award. Jean P. Boone, Publisher Bonnie V.

Introduction Of all the American states, Virginia can lay claim to the most thorough control by an oligarchy. Political power has been closely held by a small group of leaders who, themselves and their predecessors, have subverted democratic institutions and deprived most Virginians of a voice in their government. The Commonwealth possesses the characteristics more akin to those of England at about the time of the Reform Bill of 1832 than to those of any other state of the present-day South. It is a political museum piece. Yet the little oligarchy that rules Virginia demonstrates a sense of honor, an aversion to open venality, a degree of sensitivity to public opinion, a concern for efficiency in administration, and, so long as it does not cost much, a feeling of social responsibility. - Southern Politics in State and Nation, V. O. Key, Jr., 19491 Thus did V. O. Key, Jr. so famously describe Virginia’s political landscape in 1949 in his revolutionary book Southern Politics in State and Nation.

First, though, comes the lead-in show, “Monday Night Countdown.” The inherent challenge here, it seems to an outsider, is to make more than two hours of older men sitting down, talking, and not playing football remotely compelling to watch. To keep the energy level high, the network uses brash-talking commentators, action-packed game highlights, fancy graphics,proof and, very selectively, music. As the show goes to its last commercial, the camera pulls back from the broadcasters and an up-tempo song blares briefly.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

  • ARSC Journal
    CURRENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by Tim Brooks Much important and interesting research on recording history and artists appears in small and generally unindexed collectors publications. It is the purpose of this column to help readers find these articles, and to keep abreast of the latest research in all fields of interest to the ARSC membership. If you write to one of these journals or authors, please mention ARSC and "Current Bibliography." A lot of them have no idea who we are! To be included here an article must be in English, reasonably original, and deal with recording history--as opposed to musicological, sociological or current collecting subjects (such as LP reviews, record prices, current artists, etc.). Current Bibliography supplements the less frequent Bibliography of Discographies in that a great many non­ discographic articles of interest are included here (artist biographies, label and genre histories, repair and preservation techniques, etc.). "W/D" indicates that the article did include a discography, although this is often no more than a simple list of releases by catalog number. The listing this time is rather lengthy, due to the long gap between issues of the Journal. Issues covered are those received between February 1986 and July 1987. Most issues listed here should still be available from the publishers, at the addresses indicated below. Among the new publications listed this time are Rockin' 50s, a slick little bi-monthly from Bill Griggs (longtime head of the Buddy Holly Memorial Society) which focusses on '50s rock music of all artists; and Show Music, from ARSC member Max Preeo. Although the latter-rs-concerned mainly with current Broadway recordings, interesting historical articles by Richard C.
