Hootenanny - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 8/6/11 6:59 AM Hootenanny from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Hootenanny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 8/6/11 6:59 AM Hootenanny From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hootenanny is an Appalachian colloquialism that was used in early twentieth century America to refer to things whose names were forgotten or unknown. In this usage it was synonymous with thingamajig or whatchamacallit, as in "hand me that hootenanny." Hootenanny was also an old country word for "party". Now, most commonly, it refers to a folk-music party. "Hootenanny" was also used by the leadership of early firefighting battalions to describe a "meeting of the minds" or higher ups of various department heads. The term has trickled down to working companies and is now used, with some frequency, at working incidents and other circumstances that require a focused discussion between key individuals. Most recently it was adopted for use during the annual Fire Department Instructors Conference. Logistics professionals for the conference employ the word to call together the required personnel needed to accomplish the prodigious assignments placed on them. Contents 1 Origin 2 Events 3 Recordings 4 Television 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Origin See also: Almanac Singers. According to Pete Seeger, in various interviews, he first heard the word hootenanny in Seattle, Washington in the late 1930s. It was used by Hugh DeLacey’s New Deal political club [1] to describe their monthly music fund raisers. [2] After some debate the club voted in the word hootenanny, which narrowly beat out the word wingding. Seeger, Woody Guthrie and other members of the Almanac Singers later used the word in New York City to describe their weekly rent parties, which featured many notable folksingers of the time. [2] In a 1962 interview in Time Joan Baez made the analogy that a hootenanny is to folk singing what a jam session is to jazz. [3] Events During the early 1960s at the height of the Folk Music era, the club The Bitter End at 147 Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village had hootenannies every Tuesday night, that featured an open mike and welcomed performers known and unknown, young and old.[4] The Hootenanny is an annual one-day rockabilly music festival held at the Oak Canyon Ranch in Irvine, S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hootenanny Page 1 of 3 Hootenanny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 8/6/11 6:59 AM California, which also incorporates a vintage car show. For years there have been online Hootenannys. The most long-standing example is Small Talk At The Wall,[5] which has been going since 1999. Recordings Surfin' Hootenanny is a surf pop/rock song written by Lee Hazlewood (tune) and Al Casey, and performed by Al Casey with The K-C-Ettes (aka The Blossoms). It opens the Al Casey's 1963. album Surfin' Hootenanny (issued as LP record by Sundazed Music Inc.). The song re-appeared in 1996. (in remastered version) as track 15 of Cowabunga! Set 2: Big Waves (1963.) compilation. Cowabunga! Set 2: Big Waves (1963.) is a second disc from Rhino Records' Cowabunga! The Surf Box 4 CD set compilation that contains most famous songs from the four- decade long history of surf music. Eels released an album titled Shootenanny! The rock and roll band The Replacements released their second album in 1983, entitled Hootenanny on Twin/Tone Records (see Hootenanny (album)). The band Weezer had a Hootenanny tour in 2008 which allowed fans to play songs with the band.[citation needed] The New Zealand rock band HLAH released a single entitled Hootenanny (which also appears on their 1996 album Double Your Strength, Improve Your Health, & Lengthen Your Life on the Wildside Records label) in 1997.[6] A song called We Are Having a Hootenanny appears on The Magnetic Fields's 2010 album Realism.[7] The album The Repercussions of Angelic Behavior by Rieflin, Gunn and Fripp contains a track entitled Hootenanny At The Pink Pussycat Cafe. Reggae legends The Wailers recorded a song called "Hoot Nanny Hoot", sung by Peter Tosh available on Peter Tosh's cd "The Toughest". Television Several different television shows are named and styled after it, including: Hootenanny, an early 1960s musical variety show broadcast on ABC in the United States. In 2007 a set of 3 DVDs called "The Best of Hootenanny" was issued, culled from the 1963-64 ABC-TV series. It contained clips of performances by The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Limeliters and The New Christy Minstrels, and even Woody Allen as a stand-up comedian. In 1963 and 1964 there was a BBC 1 show called "The Hoot'nanny Show", recorded in Edinburgh. (Ref: [8]). Two albums with the same title were released, with contributions from Archie Fisher, Barney McKenna (before he joined The Dubliners), and The Corries. In the United Kingdom, Jools' Annual Hootenanny, a special New Year's Eve edition of Later... with Jools Holland featuring a wide selection of musicians, has been broadcast every year since http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hootenanny Page 2 of 3 Hootenanny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 8/6/11 6:59 AM 1993. In The Simpsons, season 20 episode 6 “Homer and Lisa exchange cross words”, it’s a word that has disappeared from the dictionary according to the organizers of the crossword tournament. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 3, the scoobies decide to throw Buffy a Hootenanny. In one of the cartoons starring Tex Avery as the narrator (farm of the future) near the end he describes that they crossed an owl and a goat, therefore a hoot-nanny (nanny being one term for a goat).

  • A New Annual Festival Celebrating the History and Heritage of Greenwich Village
    A New Annual Festival Celebrating the History and Heritage of Greenwich Village OPENING RECEPTION IN THE VILLAGE TRIP LOUNGE An exhibition of work by celebrated music photographer David Gahr and rare Greenwich Village memorabilia from the collection of archivist Mitch Blank Music by David Amram, The Village Trip Artist-in-Residence Washington Square Hotel, Thursday September 27, at 6.30pm David Gahr (1922-2008) was destined for a career as an economics journalist but he got lost in music, opting to remain in New York City, at Sam Goody’s celebrated record store, because a staff job on New Republic would have meant moving to Washington DC, a prospect he found “a bit boring.” From his perch behind the counter, Gahr made sure to photograph the customers he recognised as musicians, quickly building up a portfolio. He turned professional in 1958 when Moses Asch, founder of Folkways Records – “that splendid, cantankerous guru of our time” - commissioned him to photograph such figures as Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston and Pete Seeger. He went on to capture now-iconic images of the great American bluesmen - Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and Howlin’ Wolf, musicians who were key influences on so many 1960s rock musicians. Gahr was soon the foremost photographer of the Greenwich Village jazz and folk scenes, chronicling the early years of musicians whose work would come to define the 1960s, among them Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Odetta, Joan Baez, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith. He photographed Bob Dylan’s celebrated 1963 Newport Folk Festival debut and captured the legendary moment in 1965 when he went electric.
