The only problem with that is as yet I’ve very little for the December mag., so if anyone has any interest- ing article, information anything ‘PLEASE’ it would be a big help. Anyway many thanks to all those who sent articles for this issue. Some members have mentioned to me they really enjoyed reading the ‘Readers Letters’ pages, so maybe we could have a few more letters sent in ! Brecon, Shustoke and Chanos France Conventions, (one of the reasons we’re so late with this issue) have all come and gone. Articles about Brecon and Chanos are in this issue, Shustoke will be in the December issue. John Davies is holding another meeting on the 1st November at Duloe Cambridge ?? Great steel guitar meetings, if anyone is interested e-mail John at:- [email protected] or contact Basil for further details. Nora and Rene Ranti are having Christmas Hawaiian day on the 20th December in Holland if any- one would like to attend details are available at: ??? Unfortunately we will not be able to attend due to other commitments. Pat Jones has booked the Northcote Conservative Club, Brecon for the 11th, 12th and 13th June 2010. They are now charging £50 per day or part thereof, so Pat will have to charge a bit more than this year. The ‘Birthday Do’ is on the Friday 11th December (see details on back cover.) Its a week late due to Basil having a booking the week before. We have decided not to do food as it takes up to much time, and its unfair that some of the ladies have to spend time in the kitchen. The last gathering at the sailing club we all did our own thing, some brought sandwichs etc., some cooked in the kitchen for themselves and others went to the nearby pub for a meal. As it worked out very well I think we will follow that idea again. Hope to see lots of you there, we could make it a bit of a ‘Christmas Do’ as well. Now the bad news, due to the rise in costs of materials and postage we may have to increase the cost of subscriptions next year, we will try not to make it to much, we hope this will not loose us members, please let us know your thoughts on this. Thank you again to all those that sent ‘stuff’ in for this issue, keep it coming. As I said at the beginning lets have more input. This is your Mag.

    The Guitar, the Steamship and the Picnic: England on the Move Transcript Date: Thursday, 11 December 2014 - 1:00PM Location: St. Sepulchre Without Newgate 11 December 2014 The Guitar, the Steamship and the Picnic: England on the Move Professor Christopher Page I would like to begin with a poem by William Blake, first published in his collection Songs of Innocence in 1789. Many of you will know it; it is entitled The Chimney Sweeper, and you have it, in Blake’s illustrated copy, on the first page of your handout: When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry weep! weep! weep! weep! So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep. There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved, so I said, “Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head’s bare, You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.” And so he was quiet, and that very night, As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight! That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, & Jack, Were all of them locked up in coffins of black; And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins & set them all free; Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run, And wash in a river and shine in the Sun. Then naked and white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind. And the Angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy, He'd have God for his father & never want joy.

  • Leo Carrillo California History & Art Program
    LEO CARRILLO CALIFORNIA HISTORY & ART PROGRAM PROJECT TITLE: Fine-Tuning Guitar Art THEME: Spanish Guitar AGE: Fourth Grade PROJECT INTRODUCTION: Students will learn about the history of the classical Spanish guitar that was a part of the lifestyle at the Leo Carrillo Ranch. Students will be introduced to the famous Mexican folksong “La Golondrina”, a melody played on the guitar and cherished by Leo Carrillo. Students will create and design their own Spanish guitar inspired work of art through mixed media using collage and illustration, personalizing their artwork with intentional images and meaning. ART PROJECT INSPIRATION: SPANISH GUITAR The guitar is one of the most popular and widespread musical instruments played today. It is actually the second most played instrument, with the first being the piano. A person who makes guitars is called a “luthier”. A person who plays the guitar is called a “guitarist”. Guitarists play the guitar by plucking or strumming the strings with their fingers, fingernails, or a pick. There are several types of guitars: Classical, Electric, Steel, Flamenco, 12 String and many more. It was the classical guitar, also known as the Spanish guitar that had a special presence at the Leo Carrillo Ranch. Music played on the Spanish guitar reminded Leo Carrillo of his family history and was very much a part of the life he experienced as a child growing up. The word guitar was adopted into English from the Spanish word “guitarra” in the 1600’s. The country of Spain has had an extraordinary impact on the development of the classical guitar. Spaniards in Andalusia during the 1790’s took the guitar to new heights when they added a sixth string to it.

Do you often feel that you don’t know what to play or that you repeat yourself far too much, when confronted with such a request? When you watch the blues masters play, they are having fun on stage. They seem to be performing from a place within themselves that is free and careless. A place where they don’t have to think ‘what to play’ anymore. Perhaps you think that you should be born with some kind of natural talent and that you probably don’t possess this talent. The truth is that the masters of blues guitar aren’t born with this talent.

And deserving or not, guitarists have a reputation for having less-than-perfect time. But it’s not as if perfect meter makes you a perfect rhythm player. There’s something else. Something elusive. A swing, a feel, or a groove—you know it when you hear it, or feel it. Each player on this list has “it,” regardless of genre, and if there’s one lesson all of these players espouse it’s never take rhythm for granted. Ever. Deciding who made the list was not easy, however. In fact, at times it seemed downright impossible. What was eventually agreed upon was Hey Jazz Guy, October that the players included had to have a visceral impact on the music via 2011 their rhythm chops. Good riffs alone weren’t enough.
