Joan was a Londoner by birth, but a Yankee at heart, coming to America in 1956 with her husband Tom. She was an active member of the Burbank clubs (Moose, VFW, American Legion) and a talented singer who entertained many of us over the years with her lovely voice. She is survived by her loving daughters Chris O'Shaunnessy of Sunland CA, Mary Schumacher of Denver, CO and Shelagh Manning of Towanda, PA and by her many beautiful grandchildren and great grandchildren. Patrick J. Kane was born on 21st October 1933 in Bray, Co Wicklow and passed on 16th December 2009 in Loughlinstown Hospital, Co Wicklow. Patrick and his wife Brenda came here in 1963. They joined St Therese Parish in Alhambra. Their six children all graduated from the parish school. The Kane's maintained a home in Co Wicklow. While Pat was in Ireland in December 2009 he became ill. After much persuasion from the family "Poppers" agreed to be checked out at the Loughlinstown Hospital. He was diagnosed --" a severe case of pneumonia". Pat had left it too late. He wanted to see his own doctor here in California. Alas, Pat did not make that scheduled flight on 10th January 2010.

One comes away appreciating all the dedication and hard work put into his talent as well as his tremendous love and respect he had for his family and Ireland. And a rogue. Feb 05, Patricia rated it it was amazing. The anthology Hamilton recorded in as The Lark in the Morning is the earliest album-length collection of Irish folk songs sung by Irish singers to be recorded in Ireland. He was loved and admired on both sides of the Atlantic and as soon as his death was announced on RTE on December 4,my phone started ringing with calls from cousins and friends in Dublin. Paddy and Tom Clancy sang with them on occasion, usually in informal folk 'sing-songs' in the Village.

  • Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan
    Twentieth-Century Music 18/2, 249–279 © The Author(s), 2021. Published by Cambridge University Press. This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi: 10.1017/S1478572221000013 Matrices of ‘Love and Theft’: Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan MIMI HADDON Abstract This article uses Joan Baez’s impersonations of Bob Dylan from the mid-1960s to the beginning of the twenty-first century as performances where multiple fields of complementary discourse con- verge. The article is organized in three parts. The first part addresses the musical details of Baez’s acts of mimicry and their uncanny ability to summon Dylan’s predecessors. The second con- siders mimicry in the context of identity, specifically race and asymmetrical power relations in the history of American popular music. The third and final section analyses her imitations in the context of gender and reproductive labour, focusing on the way various media have shaped her persona and her relationship to Dylan. The article engages critical theoretical work informed by psychoanalysis, post-colonial theory, and Marxist feminism. Introduction: ‘Two grand, Johnny’ Women are forced to work for capital through the individuals they ‘love’. Women’s love is in the end the confirmation of both men’s and their own negation as individ- uals. Nowadays, the only possible way of reproducing oneself or others, as individuals and not as commodities, is to dam this stream of capitalist ‘love’–a ‘love’ which masks the macabre face of exploitation – and transform relationships between men and women, destroying men’s mediatory role as the representatives of state and capital in relation to women.1 I want to start this article with two different scenes from two separate Bob Dylan films.

  • Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This File Contains the Pre-Proof
    Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This file contains the pre-proof versions of Chapter One and Chapter Five from Bob Dylan, presented here in this format with the permission of Equinox Publishing. I have called this text Bob Dylan Musician because this was the original agreed title of the book right up to the moment just before publication when pressure from the US publisher resulted in the term ‘musician’ being reluctantly (from my perspective) expunged from the title. That word – musician – was there to concisely signal how my approach differs from most other books on Bob Dylan. I am interested in his work and practice as a musician, rather than his lyrics as poetry or the relationship between his biography and musical art. The book contains five chapters, so these two chapters introduce and conclude the study. If anyone would like electronic copies of additional chapters I am happy to provide these, as long as they are used only for research and teaching. Keith Negus June 2013 CHAPTER ONE Surroundings On 31 October 1964 Bob Dylan performed at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City, just two years after signing a recording contract and with four albums already released. Having quickly gained recognition as a folk ‘protest singer’ he was rapidly moving away from songs of social commentary and ‘finger pointing’. Dylan was beginning to use the popular song in a new and radical manner to explore more internal or subjective experiences, whilst experimenting with the sound, meaning and rhythm of words. Within three months, when recording his fifth album, no longer performing alone with acoustic guitar and harmonica, he was beginning to create an abrasive yet ethereal sonority, mixing the acoustic and electric textures of folk, electric blues, rock’n’roll, gospel, country and pop.

Ben Wubs Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam 1 Pierce Kehoe 514551 The Knit of a Nation? Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis was very much a collaborative effort, and I owe a debt of gratitude to a number of people who helped me along the way. First and foremost, I am very grateful for the attention, critique and encouragement I have received over the year from my supervisor Prof. dr. Ben Wubs, it has helped me greatly. I would also like to thank Dr. Jeroen Euwe who co-supervised our Research Workshop and provided me with much guidance throughout the year. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to interview Vawn Corrigan (Author of Irish Aran, History, Tradition, Fashion) while researching for this thesis, which, aside from being an absolute pleasure, added an extra layer of valuable analysis to the discussion. I am also very lucky to have been a part of a wonderful class of friends in the GLOCAL programme, and wish them all the best going forward. Last but not least I would like to thank my family back home in Ireland, in particular my parents who have supported me in more ways than one throughout this Master’s experience. Fortunately, writing a thesis on Irishness meant home was never too far from my mind! 2 Contents Chapter 1: Introduction…………………………………………………………………...1 Chapter 2: Myths of the Wild West…………………………………………………15 Chapter 3: New Exports from Old Ireland……………………………………….26 Chapter 4: Aran Sweaters for the Masses…………………………………......39 Chapter 5: The Aran Identity Crisis………………………………………….….…..55 Chapter 6: Conclusion……………………………………………………………………..69 References………………………………………………………………….....................74 Appendices……………………………………………………………………………………..81 1 Pierce Kehoe 514551 The Knit of a Nation?

And being brought up in a pub, she associated these songs with drink and madmen and fighting. This collection of 64 Irish songs is designed both for singing as a group or performing for an audience. It was like walking into an explosion. I had about four chords on the guitar then, and Tommy Makem still couldn't play the tin whistle because his hand wasn't fully healed, but Pat could play the harmonica. Pat, eldest of the family and businessman of the group, is the founder of the very successful Tradition Records. A brave little band of poets and socialists stormed the General Post Office in Dublin on Easter Monday, , and though they failed, before the year was out the first large hole had been blown through the ramparts of the British Empire. Sometimes, bass players don't play the root note of the chord Or as Liam puts it: "The Ballad Revival means, in its baldest form, that it became respectable again for so-called respectable people to sing working-class songs.

    Tradition label Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Tradition Label Discography The Tradition Label was established in New York City in 1956 by Pat Clancy (of the Clancy Brothers) and Diane Hamilton. The label recorded folk and blues music. The label was independent and active from 1956 until about 1961. Kenny Goldstein was the producer for the label during the early years. During 1960 and 1961, Charlie Rothschild took over the business side of the company. Clancy sold the company to Bernard Solomon at Everest Records in 1966. Everest started issuing albums on the label in 1967 and continued until 1974 using recordings from the original Tradition label and Vee Jay/Horizon.
