    Collection Highlights

    COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS “LATINOS AND BASEBALL” COLLECTING INITIATIVE Latino baseball players have been interwoven in the fabric of Major League Baseball for years. They've been some of the greatest, well-known names in baseball history. To reflect and celebrate that rich history, the National Museum of American History (“NMAH”) in collaboration with the Smithsonian Latino Center, launched Latinos and Baseball: In the Barrios and the Big Leagues. The multi-year community collecting initiative focuses on the historic role that baseball has played as a social and cultural force within Latino communities across the nation. The project launched a series of collecting events in late February in San Bernardino, California. A second event will be held in Los Angeles on July 17, 2016, and a third will be held in Syracuse, New York, on September 15, 2016. The events are designed to generate interest in the initiative, build on community relationships, record oral histories, and identify objects for possible acquisition by local historical associations as well as for the Smithsonian collections. The collaborative initiative seeks to document stories from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico and plans to collect a number of objects that could include baseball equipment; stadium signs; game memorabilia, such as handmade or mass-produced jerseys and tickets; food vendor signs; home movies; and period photographs. Curators will select objects based on the stories they represent and the insight they provide into the personal, community, and national narratives of the national pastime. “Baseball has played a major role in everyday American life since the 1800s, providing a means of celebrating both national and ethnic identities and building communities,” said John Gray, director of NMAH.

    King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and Others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (Guest Post)*

    “King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (guest post)* Sonny Boy Williamson II This King Biscuit show is about flour and the blues, not about flowers and rock music. “King Biscuit Time” was born when the blues harmonica master Sonny Boy Williamson (1899- 1965, born Aleck Miller) visited the newly opened KFFA radio studios in Helena, Arkansas. Seeing radio as a means of promoting his upcoming performances, Williamson pitched the idea of a regular show during the noon hour when his working audiences were taking their lunch breaks. KFFA agreed, securing Max Moore, owner of the Interstate Grocer Company and King Biscuit Flour, as the sponsor. “King Biscuit Time” debuted on November 21, 1941 at 12:15 pm, with Williamson and guitarist Robert Lockwood playing for 15 minutes. The success was immediate, allowing the musicians to maintain their time-slot every weekday. They were so successful that, in 1947, while the company’s flour bag continued to have its crown, the corn meal bag began to feature a likeness of Williamson sitting on an ear of corn. As the show continued through the 1940s, additional musicians were brought in to create a band behind Williamson. Chief among them were guitarists Joe “Willie” Wilkins, Earl Hooker and Houston Stackhouse, pianists Robert “Dudlow” Taylor, Willie Love and Pinetop Perkins, and drummer Peck Curtis. During the early broadcasts, Sam Anderson and Hugh Smith served as announcers. John William “Sonny” Payne filled in once in 1941, but he returned in 1951, staying on as the “King Biscuit Time” host until his death in 2018.

The subject has attracted little interest until recently, yet none of that interest has focused on the southeastern tribes, such as the Chickasaw or Choctaw. This is not altogether unusual as there remains much research to be done on how the various Native American cultures have influenced modern society.

From Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Erratum Musical’ (1913) which spliced together dictionary definitions of the word ‘imprimer’ with a score composed from notes pulled out of a hat, via William Burroughs’s and Brion Gysin’s ‘cut-up’ technique used to allow new meanings to ‘leak in’ by re-cutting existing texts, to John Oswald’s releases which mixed and altered several musical sources, the history of the 20th century avant-garde can be read as the history of appropriation. The availability, immediacy and ease of use of digital networked technologies in the last decade has made the link between the notion of 'the original' and artistic value more tenuous than ever, ushering in a new chapter in the debate around appropriation and the role of the author. The early years of the Internet enabled independent musical and artistic networks to flourish and operate somewhat ‘under the radar’ of commercial production, often establishing their own gift economies and adhering to rules decided by the network participants themselves. But this brief period of ‘making it up as we go along’ when it comes to file sharing, distribution and exchange is coming to an end in the face of endless attempts by the music industry to understand, co-opt, capitalize on and engage with cultures of exchange introduced by online networks and grassroots initiatives.
