The Bluegrass and Folk Festival Was a Huge Success Again This Year May - June 2017 Volume 22 No.3 Like us on facebook The Bluegrass and Folk Festival was a huge success again this year. Always due in part to our great volunteers! SoCoFoSo volunteers An enormous THANK YOU to the many volunteers who helped out at the Sonoma County Bluegrass and Folk Festival and the Cloverdale Fiddle Festival recently.

My flat pick was reliable Folk Festival. and safe for strumming and some bass runs, and simple THANK YOU, MICHAEL! leads, so I fell back on that. Finger and thumb picks seemed like a practical answer for protection, but curved metal finger pics were very uncomfortable, and thumb picks just didn’t seem to want to land on the right bass strings. Bare finger picking seemed to be the best and simplest option, and 41st. Cloverdale Fiddle Contest new strings always seemed to ring and resonate with the songs. 2017 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners Other players seemed to do fine with these devices, but it wasn’t until I took a blues finger style camp class Pee Wee Old Time from Steve Baughman that I found sore fingers aren’t 1.Niko Quale fun for continuous play. We spent nine hours mastering 2. Owen Anderson the alternating thumb groove and Travis style picking 3. Koll Malme with two other fingers. Steve was using a thumb pick Junior-Junior Old Time and Alaska Piks on his fingers. I had some Alaska Piks in 1. Teo Quale my guitar case, and once had tried to use them with no 2. Joanna Mynt luck. Baughman’s quality and accuracy of his playing was 3. Maya Leonard so wonderful, I decided to try again. Steve shared some Junior Old Time tips with me about finger fit and that the Piks could be 1. Miles Quale sanded and smoothed like real nails 2. Emeald Tjin Alaska Piks are a flexible plastic pick which slips 3. Ben Cleland right over the top of the finger, and has ribs which one Adult Old Time gently inserts under a finger nail. This serves to not only 1. Lael Sigal stabilize the pick when plucking upward, but because it’s 2. Eric Anderson slightly extending from the real nail, it also allows the 3. Eric Malme fingers to brush downward, even in a strum. Senior Old Time With workshop mechanical memory now fresh 1. Paul Shelasky under my fingertips, I went home and put on the Alaska 2. Andi Skelton Piks and a Dunlop thumb pick. I invested an entire 3.

By the end of that weekend, it all 2. Miles Quale came together: the right finger fit, the thumb groove and 3. Eric Anderson even some Carter style thumb leads. Another dimension Waltz (open) in playing! It was thrilling to learn something new in my 1. Eric Anderson 60’s, and this old dog found not only another tool and 2.

  • Dicaire Eric 2019 Thesis.Pdf
    Playing for Change: the Crystallization of Time, Space and Ideology in a Music Video from Around the World By Eric Dicaire A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Supervisor: Boulou Ebanda De B’béri In the Department of Communication University of Ottawa © Eric Dicaire, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 PLAYING FOR CHANGE ii Abstract Online music videos have become a space for new cultural articulations. These articulations differ from one video to the next, as each instance mobilizes a particular set of production practices aimed at a specific purpose. From a theoretical standpoint, it is therefore challenging to qualify the broad cultural significance of these media objects. This thesis proposes a potential remedy to this issue, using a theoretical framework based on the theories of articulation, encoding/decoding, and crystallization to assess the cultural significance of an ideologically driven music video produced by Playing for Change—a not-for- profit organization with a mandate of uniting the world through music. These theories reveal how a cosmopolitan ideology is crystallized into the production practices of Playing for Change’s music video “One Love”. Through this theoretical mobilization, I examine the plurality of identities distilled in the music video, since it functions as a political, economic, and ideological object. These identities are crystallized on multiple levels, leading us to question whether complex articulations of this type can ever fully be conceptualized. Ultimately, I argue that the burgeoning field of music video studies must continue exploring theoretical models in order to develop adequate tools for analyzing the various elements, including discursive constructions, which characterize these complex, yet valuable, cultural objects.

  • Music 04: Global Sound—Jeffers Engelhardt 1
    Music 04: Global Sound—Jeffers Engelhardt 1 ❦ MUSIC 04: GLOBAL SOUND ❦ COURSE INFORMATION Arms Music Center 212 Monday, Wednesday 2:00-3:20 Assistant Professor Jeffers Engelhardt Arms Music Center 5 413.542.8469 (office) 413.687.0855 (home) [email protected] http://www.amherst.edu/~jengelhardt Office hours: anytime by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS This course explores the global scale of much music-making and musical consumption today. Migration, diaspora, war, tourism, postsocialist and postcolonial change, commerce, and digital technology have all profoundly reshaped the way musics are created, circulated, and consumed. These forces have also illuminated important ethical, legal, and aesthetic issues concerning intellectual property rights and the nature of musical authorship, the appropriation of “traditional” musics by elites in the global North, and local musical responses to transnational music industries, for instance. Through a series of case studies that will include performances and workshops by visiting musicians, Global Sound will examine how musics animate processes of globalization and how globalization affects musics by establishing new social, cultural, and economic formations. Your work in this course will be challenging, rewarding, and varied. You will be asked to present your work in class and make weekly postings to the course blog. There are also a few events outside of class time that you will need to participate in. I will hand out guidelines and rubrics for all the work you will do in order to make my expectations and standards for evaluation completely clear. Needless to say, preparation for, attendance at, and active participation in every class meeting is essential.

  • Dissertation Final Submission Andy Hillhouse
    TOURING AS SOCIAL PRACTICE: TRANSNATIONAL FESTIVALS, PERSONALIZED NETWORKS, AND NEW FOLK MUSIC SENSIBILITIES by Andrew Neil Hillhouse A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Andrew Neil Hillhouse (2013) ABSTRACT Touring as Social Practice: Transnational Festivals, Personalized Networks, and New Folk Music Sensibilities Andrew Neil Hillhouse Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 The aim of this dissertation is to contribute to an understanding of the changing relationship between collectivist ideals and individualism within dispersed, transnational, and heterogeneous cultural spaces. I focus on musicians working in professional folk music, a field that has strong, historic associations with collectivism. This field consists of folk festivals, music camps, and other venues at which musicians from a range of countries, affiliated with broad labels such as ‘Celtic,’ ‘Nordic,’ ‘bluegrass,’ or ‘fiddle music,’ interact. Various collaborative connections emerge from such encounters, creating socio-musical networks that cross boundaries of genre, region, and nation. These interactions create a social space that has received little attention in ethnomusicology. While there is an emerging body of literature devoted to specific folk festivals in the context of globalization, few studies have examined the relationship between the transnational character of this circuit and the changing sensibilities, music, and social networks of particular musicians who make a living on it. To this end, I examine the career trajectories of three interrelated musicians who have worked in folk music: the late Canadian fiddler Oliver Schroer (1956-2008), the ii Irish flute player Nuala Kennedy, and the Italian organetto player Filippo Gambetta.

  • World Music and Activism Since the End of History [Sic]
    World Music and Activism Since the End of History [sic] PETER MANUEL “A thousand militant voices will sing a freedom song The people united will never be defeated…” So proclaimed these verses of “El pueblo unido jamás será vencido,” which, together with a host of nueva canción anthems, sustained the spirits of millions of Latin American progressives through the dark days of Cold War US-supported military dictatorships. But what happens when freedom is finally obtained? When the socialist ideal is discredited? When the economic hegemon is no longer an easily identified antagonist—the imperialist USA—but the intangible workings of an amorphous global financial network? Does the socially conscious music then stop? Is there anything for the thousand voices to sing of, besides love, dancing, and sex? Or, for that matter, nihilistic rage? However one might answer these questions, the third quarter of the twentieth century stands out as a historical moment in which progressive, activist songs occupied lively niches in popular music cultures throughout much of the world, serving as soundscapes for set of socio-political movements that, although diverse, shared a commitment to universalist values ultimately deriving from the Enlightenment. But whether in Jamaica, Pakistan, Spain, or Latin America, these musical movements have largely evaporated. What happened? In recent decades, historians have written extensively about what appears to be a dramatic and tangible change in global socio-political culture since the 1980s. This transformation has been interpreted from diverse perspectives, and with varying degrees of optimism or pessimism. In Francis Fukuyama’s paradigmatic, seminal, and much-debated formulation1, it is the triumph of capitalism and liberal democracy, the exhaustion of structural political and economic alternatives, and, hence, the effective “end of history.” For some cultural theorists, it is a postmodern condition marked by new aesthetic and epistemological sensibilities.

  • “Our Silence Buys the Battles”: the Role of Protest Music in the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement
    “Our Silence Buys the Battles”: The Role of Protest Music in the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement CARA E. PALMER “No más! No more!” “No más! No more!” Shout the hills of Salvador Shout the hills of Salvador Echo the mountains of Virginia In Guatemala, Nicaragua We cry out “No más! No more!” We cry out “No más! No more!”1 In the 1980s, folk singer John McCutcheon implored his fellow U.S. citizens to stand in solidarity with Central Americans in countries facing United States (U.S.) intervention. Combining both English and Spanish words, his song “No Más!” exemplifies the emphasis on solidarity that characterized the dozens of protest songs created in connection with the U.S.-Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement (CAPSM).2 McCutcheon’s song declared to listeners that without their active opposition, the U.S. government would continue to sponsor violence for profit. McCutcheon sang, “Our silence buys the battles, let us cry, ‘No más! No more!,’” urging listeners to voice their disapproval of the Reagan administration’s foreign policies, because remaining silent would result in dire consequences. One hundred thousand U.S. citizens mobilized in the 1980s to protest U.S. foreign policy toward Central America. They pressured Congress to end U.S. military and financial aid for the military junta in El Salvador, the military dictatorship in Guatemala, and the Contras in Nicaragua. The Reagan administration supported armed government forces in El Salvador and Guatemala in their repression of the armed leftist groups FMLN and MR-13, and the Contras in Nicaragua in their war against the successful leftist revolution led by the FSLN.

  • Bob Dylan: the Prophet of Social Change in the 1960S
    © Media Watch 8 (3) 366-377, 2017 ISSN 0976-0911 e-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2017/v8i3/49154 Bob Dylan: The Prophet of Social Change in the 1960s STEPHEN BRANDON1, ISAAC MAUPIN2 & MARK GOODMAN3 1, 3Mississippi State University, USA & 2University of Kentucky, USA The 1960s was a period of social change in countries around the world and in hundreds of cities in the United States. We argue that music played a rhetorical role in bringing a vast array of people together behind a wide range of issues. The music of Bob Dylan unified people together, making Dylan a kind of prophet that put into music the voice of the people involved in the social movements of the 1960s. By considering his music rhetorically, we provide insight into how music played a key role in the social movements of the 1960s. Keywords: social movement theory, Bob Dylan, music as rhetoric August 28 of 1963 is an iconic day. From the Lincoln Memorial, Peter, Paul, and Mary sang “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Blowin’ In the Wind” to those gathered by the thousands for the March on Washington. The day was marked by Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. The New York Times coverage of the Civil Rights national march on Washington, D.C. focused on King’s words; the article misspelled the name of an unknown songwriter “Bob Dillion,” who had written songs that had moved the audience that day. In fact, it would be the folksinger Bob Dylan who catalyzed the social upheaval of the 1960s and created a prophetic prolepsis of what could, and would happen to a post World War II “jeremiad” paradigm of social consensus.1 Music was an integral part of the social change and turmoil that defined the 1960s.
