  • The Brothers Nazaroff 1
    THE HAPPY PRINCE NAZAROVYE! A GREETING FROM THE BROTHERS NAZARISHE GREETINGS TO ALL. Thank you for acquiring this most joyous of musical tributes to our beloved lost uncle, the “Prince.” Three score years ago, the venerable Moses Asch released Nathan “Prince” Nazaroff’s 10” record, Jewish Freilach Songs (FW 6809). It has since proved to be a guiding light in the search for a missing link between our post-modern Babylo- nian exile and the lost Atlantis of Yiddish “Middle-Europe.” The “Prince” came to our American shores in 1914, as the old world crumbled. One hundred years later, we, the amalgamated and wind-strewn spiritual nephews of the great Nazaroff, have gathered to honor our lost Tumler Extraordinaire, a true troubadour of the vanished Yiddish street. Leaving our homes in New York, Berlin, Budapest, Moscow, and France, we began recording these songs in an astrological library in Michigan and finished up in an attic in Berlin. We were armed with a smattering of languages, several instruments, a bird whistle from Istanbul, and the indispensable liner notes to the original Folkways album (available for download from Smithsonian Folkways’ website—we encourage any listener to this recording to obtain a copy). We have tried to stay true to Nazaroff’s neshome (soul), khokhme (wit), style, and sense of music. The “Prince” was truly a big-time performer. By keeping his music alive, we hope to bring him into an even bigger time: the future. So let’s now celebrate the discordant, obscure, jubilant, ecstatic legacy of our Happy “Prince.” NAZAROVYE! THE HAPPY PRINCE THE BROTHERS NAZAROFF 1 THE HAPPY PRINCE 1.

The British bands changed the way rock'n'roll was played. At the same time, USA folk-singers were changing the way rock'n'roll was "consumed". The fusion of music and politics that occurred in the early 1960s had lasting effects on the very nature and purpose of rock music. Rock music became a primary vehicle for expressing dissent within the Establishment, and therefore one of the most relevant aspects of the "counterculture". Even when the political element was not predominant, rock music came to adopt a stance that was "countercultural" in nature. Rock'n'roll had been discriminated against. Protest folk-singers had been discriminated against. There was a tradition that made rock music an "underground" phenomenon by nature. The youth of the USA was still searching for an identity, the process that had begun with rock'n'roll. Underground music provided several ways to achieve that goal. Fans of underground music repudiated the passive kind of listening that was typical of pop music (humming the melodies that are played often on the radio, hailing the star that is publicized by the media) and adopted a more independent and critical judgment of music.

  • Blim Dissertation Revisions Draft 2
    Patchwork Nation: Collage, Music, and American Identity by Richard Daniel Blim A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Mark Clague, Co-Chair Associate Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett, Co-Chair Associate Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Steven M. Whiting Acknowledgements This dissertation has benefited from what I can only describe as a collage of voices of support and wisdom throughout the process. I wish to acknowledge the financial support of the Rackham Graduate School; The University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance; and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. I owe a great deal to my committee for their insight and guidance from the beginning. Steven Whiting helped sharpen my theoretical approach and navigate various definitions. Paul Anderson’s comments always cut right to the heart of whatever issue of question was most daunting and pointed me in the right division, helping me to tell, as he often suggested, a bigger story. It has been my fortune to find two co-chairs who work so well together. Mark Clague and Charles Hiroshi Garrett have encouraged my interdisciplinary interests throughout my time at the University of Michigan. For the dissertation, they have pushed me to become a better scholar and writer, patiently reading sprawling drafts and helping to wrangle my ideas into shape, and tactfully impelling me to pursue bigger and bigger questions with more and more clarity and nuance. In particular, I am deeply appreciative of Mark’s energizing and provocative pep talks and willingness to entertain any question no matter how tangential it might have seen, and of Chuck’s impeccable and thoughtful comments on everything I submitted, returned with superhuman speed, and his dissertation whisperer-like ability to get me to make the inevitable cuts.

He said, "It reminds me of the night that you and your cohorts kidnapped Sam Shepard from the Astor Place Theatre on the opening night performance of his plays The Unseen Hand and Forensic and the Navigator (in which I played 'Forensic'). I also remember that actor Beeson Carroll wore as his costume in The Unseen Hand, your Buffalo skin coat." I had caught the news story about the kidnapping on TV a day earlier. I immediately thought it was a prank. A video taken from a surveillance camera showed an abduction with people being thrown into a van on the street.
