John Mceuen Brings with Him 45+ Years of Worldwide Performing with His Banjo, fiddle, Guitar, and Mandolin
John McEuen brings with him 45+ years of worldwide performing with his banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. Often referred to as 'the String Wizard', he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he has raised 7 kids), taking us through where his musical path has taken him. A founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1966, John instigated the 1972 classic Will the Circle Be Unbroken album, (inducted in to the Library of Congress as 'one of America's most important recordings). He has earned Emmy nominations, Grammy Awards, CMA acclaim, The Western Heritage Award, and many other accolades can be found on his website: www.johnmceuen.com. Proud to be an integral part of the first American band to go to Russia (in 1977!), John's love of performing is evident when during his shows he takes us 'behind the curtain' of the music world that so many of us know of only as listeners, and shows us how we have all been a part of it, more than we may know. McEuen's XM radio show, Acoustic Traveller, is in its 6th year, and you can find his new Americana Music Show on Syndicatednews.net (of which he is CEO) As winner of the 2010 Best of the West Performer award from the Folk Alliance organization, John's show is sure to be one enjoyed by all.

r: IAL. LIB! !ARY Evaluation books planned for spring Will review professors By DEBBIE YARD Teacher course evaluation booklets will be published here next semester by the Student Government Association, according to SGA President Darrell Pile. The action comes after three years of trying to get the project "off the ground." The purpose of such a document, according to Pile, is "to provide the student with information that he can read and get some knowledge of the professor. "Otherwise, the student is going into registration blindly and may get a professor who uses unfair or inconsistent teaching practices," he said. One instance that prompted the SGA to undertake teacher evaluations again this year was the report of one professor who gave a student a zero on a paper because the student had paper- clipped the pages instead of stapling them together, Pile said. The same professor, who was one of three professors teaching the same course, refused to teach one of his classes because it was too large. Pile said. Related stories, pat The SGA hopes to prevent future occurrences ot this kind by publishing evaluations, he said. Study of evaluations were begun this summer.

Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony. Jeff Hanna says, “It’s like when you throw a couple of puppies into a pen with a bunch of old dogs. All of a sudden, the old dogs start playing, you know? That’s kind of what’s happened with us. The basic vibe is so up and positive, and the music– we’re hearing surprises from Jaime and Ross all night. And they’re encouraging us in the same way to take more chances. It’s opened a lot of doors for us, musically, and the morale is really great. That’s important for a band that’s been out there for over 53 years.” The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band and by 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community.

Interview with JOHN MCEUEN Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on June 7, 2017
This interview with JOHN MCEUEN was conducted by the Library of Congress on June 7, 2017 John McEuen Library of Congress: Thank you for the advance pages from your autobiography that you sent, specifically those pages related to the making of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” I was struck by many things. One of them, there seemed to be a divide at the time, between how you as a group were perceived—as long-haired hippies—and the Nashville establishment. Did you feel that? John McEuen: Well,…you know, Earl Scruggs, in 1969, appeared at a DC peace rally. Skeeter Davis had spoken out against the Vietnam War; it upset some people in country music. Various other country musicians were not all pro-Vietnam. Musicians were Republican and Democrat. But there was a chasm in the country that affected everyone. It was a time of mass confusion. Sort of like now! [Laughs.] But, it was noted by all that when we came together to record, politics did not enter the studio. Everyone was there for the music and the event of three generations making it. It was magic. I’m reminded of something that Mark Twain once said: “Politicians and diapers--you have the change them often and always for the same reason.” It still applies…. But “politics” are something different than “people.” And when you play an instrument, you don’t think, “This is only for a certain group of people.” The music on “Circle” was a reflection of hearkening back to different times and paying homage to what had come before.
