Singing for the Escarpment Singing for the E s c a r p m e n t Article and photographs by Linda Lee For many, it just isn’t summer without an outdoor music festival or concert. For supporters of the citizens’ group Protecting Escarpment Rural Land (PERL), it isn’t summer without a new tradition, a benefit concert atop Burlington’s Mount Nemo. hat began in Septem- ber 2007 as a small outdoor benefit con- cert featuring PERL Wco-founder and two-time Juno winner Sarah Harmer and Gram- my-nominated Barenaked Ladies, the “I Love The Escarpment” con- cert drew a sold-out crowd to the Johnston farm and raised funds for PERL. Gathering a year later on Sept. 20 at the same Mount Nemo farm, a larger crowd of nearly 800 music lovers tried to squeeze under a white tent for an unforgettable afternoon with Sarah Harmer and some of the nation’s most respected musicians and vocalists. Sharing the intimate stage with Harmer was a talented group of friends and industry peers that in- cluded Juno winner Derek Miller, music icon Bruce Cockburn and Grammy nominated Leslie Feist.

Abstract (summary) Despite nearly 25 years in the music business and superstar status in his native Canada, the 49- year-old singer-songwriter is both an unknown and an anomaly in the United States.

The inability to pigeon-hole Bruce Cockburn and his style of music can make him a hard sell. Despite nearly 25 years in the music business and superstar status in his native Canada, the 49-year-old singer-songwriter is both an unknown and an anomaly in the United States. He gained some recognition in this country with the release in 1984 of Stealing Fire and the protest anthem If I Had A Rocket Launcher. His popularity, however, has increased in recent years http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy.ilibrary.org/indianapolisstar/printviewfile?accountid=46127 Page 1 of 6 7/7/15, 9:04 PM with the development of adult album alternative stations on radio. Bloomington's WTTS-FM (92.3), for example, has regularly played cuts from Cockburn's lastest disc, Dart to the Heart, and his 1991 release, Nothing But A Burning Light.

  • “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.

Stanley Hauerwas and Jean Vanier offer two well-known examples. Absent has been a “serious or systematic effort to ask what Christians of other ages might bring to this inquiry” (p. 4). This reader represents the editors’ deliberate attempt to fill this gap. The readings compiled within this volume span Christian history, from the patristic era (e.g., Cappadocians), through the Middle Ages (e.g., Julian of Nor- wich) and Reformation (e.g., Luther and Calvin), to the present (e.g., Hauerwas). 54 The Covenant Quarterly, Vol. 73, Nos. 3/4 (August/November 2015) Each historical text is prefaced with an introductory essay that seeks to contextualize the author’s thought in order to prevent anachronistic evaluations. To this end, the editors asked contributors to undertake a “searching investigation of the sources to discover the conditions they [the historical authors] considered disabling” (p. 10, emphasis original). Seeking to enter the worldview of historical thinkers, each contributor addresses the following questions: What does each thinker directly say about disabling conditions? What is problematic about their accounts? What can we learn from such accounts? (p.

USA - Rounder/True North - 19th November 2002. UK - True North via Revolver - 16th December 2002. All these CDs have been digitally remastered by Peter J Moore @ The E Room, Toronto, 2002. The original analogue masters have been digitally transferred using a proprietary state of the art Ampex ATR 102 at 24 bits / 96Khz resolution and processed using Sonic Solutions NoNoise technology.

Each CD booklet attempts to reproduce the artwork and information from the relevant original LP release plus additional photography and an essay. In 1997 Nicholas Jenning’s book Before The Goldrush was released in Canada. It documents the musical breeding ground that was Yorkville, Toronto in the 1960s. The equivalent of Greenwich Village, New York or Haight Ashbury, San Francisco it fostered such talents as Ian & Sylvia, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Kensington Market, Murray McLauchlan and Bruce Cockburn. Although currently out of print, it is essential reading. Nicholas has put together a wonderful jigsaw, which illustrates how each of the artists fitted into the scene. The text is also supplemented by a wealth of great photographs, album sleeves, posters, flyers etc. My favourite is the photo of Bernie Finkelstein outside El Patio with Kensington Market, the band he launched with the payout from Albert Grossman for The Paupers.

  • In Conversation with Bruce Cockburn
    IN CONVERSATION WITH BRUCE COCKBURN BY M.D. Dunn Bruce Cockburn laughs a lot. It might surprise people familiar with only his heavier songs or the many causes he has championed. He even makes jokes, clever and funny jokes. His conversation is punctuated by belly laughs and a wit that runs from dry and cutting to outright silliness. Truth is, this legendary songwriter doesn’t recognize his own legend. Throughout his 50-year career, which he calls a “careen,” Cockburn has participated in numerous grassroots actions: working to help ban landmines in Mozambique and elsewhere, supporting the Haida and the Lubicon Cree in land rights disputes, promoting sustainable farming, and witnessing the desperation of refugees in Central America. Many of these concerns end up in his songs and have perpetuated the image of a cold intellectual, a worldly and jaded observer of human folly. WINTER / HIVER 2020 15 His autobiography, Rumours of Glory (Harper Collins, 2014), is one of the most impressive and articulate musical memoirs in recent memory. While the book does discuss Cockburn’s life, it is more accurately a document of some of the major conflicts and cultural developments of the late 20th century. Like its author, the memoir looks outward, always working to recognize truth behind appearance. He has also championed literature in an artform that often draws from humanity’s baser interests. His lyrics are precise, often narrative in form, sometimes brutal. Yet, listening closely, there is also humour, faith, and undaunted hope. The song “Maybe the Poet” from the 1984 album Stealing Fire argues for the importance of poetry, even if it goes unacknowledged by the greater culture.

  • “Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage” an Intimate Look at Bruce Cockburn, His Life and His Music
    “Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage” An intimate look at Bruce Cockburn, his life and his music Synopsis: "I guess I fall into the category of one of those people for whom the road is home in a way. It isn't home in the conventional sense certainly, but it's the place, the context in which I feel most natural and most like myself" -Bruce Cockburn “Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage” is a documentary that highlights the reflective side of Canadian musical icon and social activist, Bruce Cockburn. The film concentrates on a six-month period in 2008, in which cameras followed Bruce as he toured, recorded his first-ever live solo album, and participated in two benefit concerts. It also features never before seen solo acoustic live performances by Bruce. This is the first time that Bruce has allowed cameras on his tour bus and backstage during a tour. In between performances, a relaxed and reflective Cockburn talks about his career, fatherhood, musical influences, politics, ageing, religion, and the environment among other topics. Also highlighted are two benefit concerts that took place within the shooting of the documentary; One in Victoria B.C., as Bruce and Lt. General, Romeo Dallaire teamed up to bring attention to the issue of child soldiers. Closer to his current home just outside of Kingston, the second benefit featured Bruce, Michael Ondaatje, and Sarah Harmer. The benefit was for Aboriginal Professor Bob Lovelace who was jailed for blocking prospector access to a proposed uranium mine site in Northern Ontario. “Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage” gives viewers never before seen insights into Bruce’s life on the road, as a performer, master guitar player, activist and song- writer The final scenes and interviews of the documentary are present day.
