Bolig American Discography Project UC Santa Barbara Library © 2017 John R. Bolig. All rights reserved. ii The Victor Discography Series By John R. Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items. The following Victor discographies by John R.

  • Porchside Songs
    2021/22 PRESENTED BY PORCHSIDE SONGS LIVE & IN CONCERT, IN YOUR FRONT YARD! #PORCHSIDESONGSTO PRESENTING SEASON SPONSOR WELCOME TO PORCHSIDE SONGS One of the earliest decisions we made when the pandemic began was to curate mini-concerts and tour them to Toronto porches, backyards and neighbourhoods. After a frightening and devastating first wave, we experienced a healing each time another group experienced one of our PORCHSIDE SONGS. We watched families, friends and communities come back together after months of separation through live music. And we felt the electricity of giving groups of silenced artists a place to raise their voices again. We were able to share 80 concerts last summer throughout the city, bringing the gift of musical storytelling to over 1500 people. One year later, the return date for large-scale theatrical productions remains uncertain. But our early experiment with PORCHSIDE SONGS has become the guiding light for our work – artists can bring joy, inspiration and togetherness into people’s lives at this time if we meet people where they are and fill unexpected spaces with song. As the weather warms again, we are so excited to return music to the city with four new and sensational PORCHSIDE SONGS concerts, led by remarkable local artists. May witnessing these concerts bring you the same hope and joy that we are feeling by sharing them with you today. Mitchell Marcus THE ROGER & KEVIN GARLAND ARTISTIC & MANAGING DIRECTOR, THE MUSICAL STAGE COMPANY LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT As you watch PORCHSIDE SONGS and reflect on your own memories of experiencing music LETTER FROM THE MUSICAL STAGE COMPANY ARTISTIC & MANAGING DIRECTOR MANAGING & ARTISTIC COMPANY STAGE MUSICAL THE FROM LETTER and storytelling in Tkaronto, please consider its original caretakers both recorded and unrecorded who have been making music and telling stories on this land for generations.

He will be honoring a woman he has called “a symbol, an icon for our age.” When talking about the intersection of prayer, mercy, concrete acts Blessed of charity and Teresa of Kolkata peacemaking, Mother Teresa was Pope Francis’ go-to reference. In one of his early morning homilies in November 2015, Pope Francis spoke about war and about how, by the way they live their lives, many people promote hatred rather than peace and selling weapons rather than sowing love. “While weapons traffickers do their work, there are poor peacemakers who Steve Dawson believes two-minute conversations with strangers about his Catholic faith can lead them closer to God.

Mother Teresa was clearly one of the peacemakers, he added. “With cynicism, the powerful might say, Street evangelists’ efforts to lead strangers ‘But what did that woman accomplish? She spent her life helping people die,’ ” Pope Francis said, noting that the cynics do closer to Christ create amazing encounters not realize that Mother Teresa understood the By John Shaughnessy years ago when Dawson first tried to bring ever thought about becoming a Catholic.

  • The P0litics of S0und / the Culture 0F Exchange
    The P0litics of S0und / The Culture 0f Exchange Online Panel Discussion Live from January 31 - March 23 2005 with Kenneth Goldsmith, Douglas Kahn and John Oswald Moderated by Lina Dzuverovic Lina Dzuverovic Subject: The P0litics of S0und / The Culture 0f Exchange Posted: Jan 31, 2005 2:12 PM The practice of cutting-up, appropriating and repurposing existing content in the creation of new artworks was central to 20th century artistic practice. 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.

    1 Making Music With Heart Rock The House! 2 Making Music With Heart First Edition September 2013 3 Stagecraft Notes 1. Our goal at gigs is to create a safe and comfortable environment so that people, strangers sometimes, will feel at ease to participate in group singing and dancing. 2. When you arrive at the gig, make an effort to shake the hand of every audience member. Ask people where are they from, what’s their favorite music, do you like to sing? Create connection. Mingle with everybody. 3. As a singer, you are performing. You are seen, admired, listened to, and believed in. You transmit an essence to the audience. Whatever you express, it will be read by the observer/listener. They will read and echo your energy. Give off positive vibes, smile, move and have fun. You will touch many with your vibe. 4. Memorize vs. reading the book. Your eyes are the window to your heart. Use your eyes to connect with people. 5. Maintain good posture, erect with head up. Slouching, arms folded, hands in pockets – no good. Talking with others during a song transmits a bad signal to the audience. 6. Breath is fundamental. Breathe deep into your abdomen and exhale by sending your stomach muscles into your spine. Tank up every chance you have. 7. Drop the jaw, widen the sides of your mouth and let the sound out. Aim the sound from your throat to the back of your top front teeth. Sing forward in the mouth. All voices sing to this place.
