    Harris Newman Non-Sequiturs SAAH018 CD Only Release Date: October 21, 2003 Harris Newman – guitars, lapsteel Bruce Cawdron – drum kit, pandeiro, bodhran, lapsteel, bowed cymbals These days it seems as though anyone performing instrumental music with an acoustic guitar as the centerpiece is automatically referenced to the late John Fahey. So it comes as an invigorating breath of fresh air to hear the music of Harris Newman, a guitarist from Montreal, Canada whose musical approach actually does come from a perspective true to the American acoustic compositional tradition that Fahey and his Takoma Records imprint helped advance. Active in the musical/cultural hotbed that is Montreal - his resume boasts electric/upright bass duties in Constellation Records frayed-folksters Sackville, and conducts audio mastering work through his Grey Market Mastering company (clients include such Montreal luminaries as Fly Pan Am, Hanged Up, A Silver Mount Zion and countless others) - Harris Newman's solo music is a beautiful beast of a decidedly different color than the typical Montreal scene. Newman is a fingerstyle steel-string acoustic guitarist possessing a remarkably detailed and lush sound, and he is creating some of the most lyrical compositions for the instrument to be heard anywhere. Non-Sequiturs is his debut release, a fabulous album of alternately effervescent and deeply mysterious acoustic guitar grandeur. Newman's acoustic fingerpicking dances and swaggers, creating a sunny expanse of tunes that are augmented by stark, introspective passages. Much like Fahey's classic 1967 album The Yellow Princess, Non-Sequiturs juxtaposes giddy, pastoral songs against heady, experimental sound excursions. Opening with the galloping pace of “Around About Thirty-Six”, resonating steel-strings halos refract gilded light against the moody drone corridors of “I Fought the Lottery”.

  • The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy

    The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy

    The Bush Revolution: The Remaking of America’s Foreign Policy Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay The Brookings Institution April 2003 George W. Bush campaigned for the presidency on the promise of a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid his predecessor’s mistake in “overcommitting our military around the world.”1 During his first seven months as president he focused his attention primarily on domestic affairs. That all changed over the succeeding twenty months. The United States waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. troops went to Georgia, the Philippines, and Yemen to help those governments defeat terrorist groups operating on their soil. Rather than cheering American humility, people and governments around the world denounced American arrogance. Critics complained that the motto of the United States had become oderint dum metuant—Let them hate as long as they fear. September 11 explains why foreign policy became the consuming passion of Bush’s presidency. Once commercial jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it is unimaginable that foreign policy wouldn’t have become the overriding priority of any American president. Still, the terrorist attacks by themselves don’t explain why Bush chose to respond as he did. Few Americans and even fewer foreigners thought in the fall of 2001 that attacks organized by Islamic extremists seeking to restore the caliphate would culminate in a war to overthrow the secular tyrant Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Yet the path from the smoking ruins in New York City and Northern Virginia to the battle of Baghdad was not the case of a White House cynically manipulating a historic catastrophe to carry out a pre-planned agenda.

    Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources

    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • Sylvester's Window 1856, Meet the Neighbors

    Sylvester's Window 1856, Meet the Neighbors

    IT'S 1856 ... MEET THE NEIGHBORS ' 6. CLARA POTTLE SYLVESTER (Sept 24. 1832 Searsmont, ME - after May 1 917 San Diego. CA?) Clara Pottle was born and raised in Maine, near the sea. She met Edmund Sylvester in 1854, while he was on a return trip to his childhood home of Deer Isle, Maine. Clara married Edmund, and embarked on the long journey west to start a new life with him in the small frontier town he founded, called Olympia. The couple traveled by steamship from New York to the Isthmus of Panama, where they crossed by land to the Pacific Coast, boarded another ship to San Francisco, and finally arrived in Olympia on October 1 3, 1 854. It is likely they landed at Giddings new wharf which extended 300 feet from the end of Main Street. Clara and Edmund lived in temporary quarters until 1856, when the grand Italianate-style Sylvester Home was built. This home, which boasted a third story tower, overlooked a rugged, stump-filled "town square." It would be Olympia's showplace for many years. Clara made sure it was also a place that hosted events and welcomed people. The Sylvesters shared the home with their only child, May. When asked to fill out a questionaire later in her life, Clara listed her religion as "liberal." Liberal thinking with regards to women's rights, was something Clara felt strongly about. Even though her husband did not approve, Clara offered her home for the first meeting of the Woman's Club, a group considered quite radical in 1883.
