Revival & Survi =#146 THE NATIONAL TOPICAL SONG MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 1983 REVIVAL & SURVI\;J\L 1-'1-'1-'1-'1-'1-'1-' OO-lOJC)lV:>I-'Oc.oOO The Return -_J'iil'''''''-''C, . >tJ~/f:h: of t,551!( '\ r, I' '--, Ii Lenny,: Broadside Anderson,.. n Joanna ;, Cazden, NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (UPI)- Broadside, the Bob National Topical Song Magazine, published for 20 Dylan years by veteran folksinger Sis Cunningham and her husband, Gordon Friesen (with the help of Kristina innumerable volunteers and hangers-on), is back, Lems with 20 pages of songs, poems, articles, reviews, Holly irreverency and bacchanalia every month. Near Launched by Sis and Gordon in 1962, Broad­ Tom side played an inOuential and important role in Paxton 'ffie "folk revival" of the 1960s. Among its frequent contributors were such writers as Julius Lester, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Malvina Reyn­ olds, Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Although many of the contributors were unknown at the time outside of a small circle of friends, their songs were published because of the inherent good qualities of the music. Broadside was a vital element in the development of these artists, providing them with an outlet for their music and with a forum for the exchange of ideas. In recent years the publication had declined to an annual. However, with the cooperation and approval of Sis and Gordon, the magazine is being resuscitated. The announcement that Broadside was returning-as a 20-page month­ ly-was greeted with great enthusiasm by those who were familiar with its past, and subscriptions and words of support have been received from such diverse corners and Brooklyn, Tokyo, Co­ penhagen, San Mateo, Far Rockaway, Monsey and Greenwich Village. (Additional subscriptions, however, are still available.) This issue contains information about Broadside's past and future, including a state­ ment of purpose by Sis and Gordon, to which the new staff adheres. It also contains important news about the BROADSIDE BENEFIT CON­ CERT coming on December 7th at 8 PM at the Speak Easy, 107 McDougal St., and about the special Phil Ochs issue coming in December.

  • Music for the People: the Folk Music Revival
    MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE: THE FOLK MUSIC REVIVAL AND AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1930-1970 By Rachel Clare Donaldson Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History May, 2011 Nashville, Tennessee Approved Professor Gary Gerstle Professor Sarah Igo Professor David Carlton Professor Larry Isaac Professor Ronald D. Cohen Copyright© 2011 by Rachel Clare Donaldson All Rights Reserved For Mary, Laura, Gertrude, Elizabeth And Domenica ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation had not been for the support of many people. Historians David Carlton, Thomas Schwartz, William Caferro, and Yoshikuni Igarashi have helped me to grow academically since my first year of graduate school. From the beginning of my research through the final edits, Katherine Crawford and Sarah Igo have provided constant intellectual and professional support. Gary Gerstle has guided every stage of this project; the time and effort he devoted to reading and editing numerous drafts and his encouragement has made the project what it is today. Through his work and friendship, Ronald Cohen has been an inspiration. The intellectual and emotional help that he provided over dinners, phone calls, and email exchanges have been invaluable. I greatly appreciate Larry Isaac and Holly McCammon for their help with the sociological work in this project. I also thank Jane Anderson, Brenda Hummel, and Heidi Welch for all their help and patience over the years. I thank the staffs at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kentucky Library and Museum, the Archives at the University of Indiana, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (particularly Todd Harvey) for their research assistance.

  • Bob Dylan Performs “It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009
    Volume 19, Number 4, December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory A Foreign Sound to Your Ear: Bob Dylan Performs “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009 * Steven Rings NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.13.19.4/mto.13.19.4.rings.php KEYWORDS: Bob Dylan, performance, analysis, genre, improvisation, voice, schema, code ABSTRACT: This article presents a “longitudinal” study of Bob Dylan’s performances of the song “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” over a 45-year period, from 1964 until 2009. The song makes for a vivid case study in Dylanesque reinvention: over nearly 800 performances, Dylan has played it solo and with a band (acoustic and electric); in five different keys; in diverse meters and tempos; and in arrangements that index a dizzying array of genres (folk, blues, country, rockabilly, soul, arena rock, etc.). This is to say nothing of the countless performative inflections in each evening’s rendering, especially in Dylan’s singing, which varies widely as regards phrasing, rhythm, pitch, articulation, and timbre. How can music theorists engage analytically with such a moving target, and what insights into Dylan’s music and its meanings might such a study reveal? The present article proposes one set of answers to these questions. First, by deploying a range of analytical techniques—from spectrographic analysis to schema theory—it demonstrates that the analytical challenges raised by Dylan’s performances are not as insurmountable as they might at first appear, especially when approached with a strategic and flexible methodological pluralism.

  • Pete Seeger: a Singer of Folk Songs
    LINGUACULTURE 2, 2020 PETE SEEGER: A SINGER OF FOLK SONGS DAVID LIVINGSTONE Palacký University Abstract Pete Seeger would have turned one hundred and one on May 3 of this year. To commemorate these ten decades plus one year, I would like to look at eleven of the most remarkable aspects of Pete Seeger’s life, work and legacy. This paper will examine the cultural impact and oral tradition of the music, songs and books of Pete Seeger. This legendary folk musician's career spanned eight decades and touched on many of the key historical developments of the day. He is responsible for some of the iconic songs which have not only helped define American culture, but even beyond. Seeger was also a pioneer in a number of fields, using his music to propagate political convictions, ecological themes, civil rights, world music, education, etc. The folk singer also had his finger on the pulse of a number of developments in American history and culture. He was friends with a number of prominent musicians and artists and influenced an entire range of younger musicians and activists. Keywords: Pete Seeger; Folk music; American history; Social activism; Civil Rights movement Family Pete Seeger’ family was a powerhouse of talent, musically and beyond. Charles Seeger (1886-1979), his father, was a renowned musicologist who held a number of prominent university positions. His political convictions, obviously on the left, were also instrumental in forming his son’s ideological worldview. His mother Constance de Clyver (1886-1975) was also a musician although not as accomplished by far as his stepmother Ruth Seeger (1901-1953) (mother to Mike and Peggy).
