Arthur Sherry's life-long love affair with the guitar began when he was twelve, and his brother joined the Navy, leaving behind his Fender Jaguar and an amp. He bought a Guild D40 with paper route money, and played at the Hudson River Sloop festivals in Nyack, before the Clearwater was born and a clean river was only a dream in Pete Seeger's heart. Arthur played folk music, rock, old and new ballads, joined his High School Folk club and played in bars and coffee houses all around, including the Feenjon and Bitter End in the Village. Later his music took a back seat to college, marriage and children. Now it's time to share what he has cherished for so many years with a wider audience. Expect an eclectic mix of music from John Dowland, through John Barleycorn and Gordon Bok, to Chet Atkins and beyond. Admission: $10.00 members, $13.00 general public Upper West Side location.

  • 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.

  • Ethnic and Racial Formation on the Concert Stage: a Comparative Analysis of Tap Dance and Appalachian Step Dance
    Ethnic and Racial Formation on the Concert Stage: A Comparative Analysis of Tap Dance and Appalachian Step Dance Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Janet Kathleen Schroeder, MFA Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Harmony Bench, Advisor Melanye White Dixon Kwaku Larbi Korang Hannah Kosstrin Copyright by Janet Kathleen Schroeder 2018 Abstract “Ethnic and Racial Formation on the Concert Stage: A Comparative Analysis of Tap Dance and Appalachian Step Dance” is a revisionist project that explores the shared aesthetics and historical trajectories of these two percussive dance practices, which have ultimately developed into two distinct forms of dance. This dissertation investigates the choreographic and representational strategies choreographers use to transfer the histories and legacies of tap dance and Appalachian step dance to the stage, namely through a process I call concertization. In each analysis, I pay particular attention to representations of the complex ethnic and racial identities affiliated with each form and ways concertization highlights or obscures such affiliations. Additionally, I aim to understand the relationship between the practices of tap dance and Appalachian step dance and what I see as a contested idea of “America” as it is represented through choreography. My analyses suggest the migration of rhythm tap dance and Appalachian step dance from vernacular and social contexts to the concert stage is in tension with the ways these dance forms, as vernacular practices, also engage in the consolidation of ethnic and racial identities.

  • Another Country.Pages
    Another Country On the relationship between country music and white supremacy —and what we can do about it Karen Pittelman December 17, 2018 From Reba McEntire's 1991 video "Is There Life Out There?" with script written by Alice Randall I started writing this piece last summer, when the majority of country music stars remained silent about Charlottesville.1 As a musician and as a fan, I wanted to be part of a more organized anti-racist response, and I wished there were a group called Country Music Against White Supremacy so I could join it.2 Then I started wondering about what I could do to help make that a reality. A group like this wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary. There’s a long tradition of both liberal and conservative musicians and their fans organizing to speak out on critical issues, raise money and awareness, and support political candidates in almost every genre of American popular music. And conservative country musicians often do have an organized, political platform, brought together by groups like the NRA.3 When it comes to progressive politics in country music, though, we’re usually on our own.4 Ever since 2003, when Natalie Maines said, “We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas” and the Dixie Another Country, Pittelman, Dec 17, 2018 Chicks were subsequently blacklisted from country radio, people have cited the “Dixie Chick effect” as the reason that more country musicians don’t publicly claim progressive values.
