MESSAGE FROM SADA PRESIDENT ROB ANGUS I hope everyone had an enjoyable, if perhaps not entirely relaxed, Christmas. I also hope your team won its bowl game. I’m looking forward to the new year and lots of dulcimer jamming. Starting with the January 11 jam/meeting, we’ll be working on the tunes that have been selected for us to play at the festival (listed elsewhere in this newsletter). This year’s tunes are from the Civil War era, a time period especially appropriate to remember while we’re at Tannehill. There are lots of beautiful and poignant songs from that era. Let’s all start thinking about how we can help Dawn with the festival so that we can make Tannehill 2 2020 the best ever. Southern Appalachian Dulcimer Association NEWS AND NOTES A New Weekly Dulcimer Jam For those who cannot get enough strumming with the Shelby Strummers or jamming with the Joyful Jammers in between the SADA monthly jams, there is now another alternative to satisfy the need for playing dulcimer music on a more frequent basis in addition to the Fourth Friday afternoon jams on the porch held at Tannehill between March and October. Conveniently located in the Bessemer/McCalla area, this new group known as the “McCalla Melodies” was recently organized by Marvin and Bea Farris and meets every Thursday morning in the choir room at Pleasant Hill Methodist Church. See detailed information for time and location on page 2 of this newsletter. The 2020 weekly jams begin on Thursday, January 9th. 2020 Festival Update Plans are well underway for the 47th SADA Festival that will take place at Tannehill Historical State Park April 30-May 3, 2020. Various possibilities for group meals on Thursday and Saturday are being considered based on input received last year. We have to work within the rules Tannehill has for use of food vendors or caterers if we decide not to do something ourselves. More information will be forthcoming in the next newsletter which will be distributed in advance of the festival. A committee consisting of Ken Waites, Carolyn Rials, and Sherry Knight has selected the music for Open Stage and Gazebo performances. Sheet music will be provided and practices will take place at the monthly SADA Jams beginning in January. Our festival music is listed below. Open Stage Performance Saturday: Wizard on the Hill and Ragtime Annie. Gazebo Performance Friday “Civil War Era Theme”: Year of the Jubilee.

  • The Applachian Mountain Dulcimer: Examining the Creation of an “American Tradition”
    CFA MU 755, Boston University Steve Eulberg The Applachian Mountain Dulcimer: Examining the Creation of an “American Tradition” In a nation composed dominantly of immigrants, or people who are not “from” here, one can expect the cultural heritage in general, and the musical heritage in particular, to be based on the many strands of immigrant tradition. At some point, however, that which was brought from the old country begins to “belong” to the children of the immigrants, who pass this heritage on to their children. These strands are the woof that is woven into the warp of the new land—a process that continues until the tradition rightly belongs to the new setting as well. This is the case for the Applachian Mountain (or fretted, lap, plucked, strummed1) dulcimer. This instrument has been called by some “The Original American Folk Instrument.”2 Because other instruments have also laid claim to this appellation (most notably the banjo), this paper will explore whether or not it deserves such a name by describing the dulcimer, exploring its antecedent instruments, or “cousins”, tracing its construction and use by some people associated with the dulcimer, and examining samples of the music played on the instrument from 3 distinct periods of its use in the 20th century. What is the dulcimer? The Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer3 consists of a diatonic fretboard which is mounted on top of a soundbox. It is generally strung with three or four strings arranged in a pattern of three (with one pair of strings doubled and close together, to be played as one.) Its strings are strummed or plucked either with the fingers or a plectrum while the other hand is fretting the strings at different frets using either fingers or a wooden stick called a “noter.” The shape of the body or soundbox varies from hourglass, boat, diamond and lozenge, to teardrop and rectangular box style.

    Pervasive Dialectal Perceptions in Education Contributing to Language Dedialectalization: Appalachian, a Case Study A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Education Department Carson-Newman University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctorate of Education By Nola Carrie Queen Isobe May 2016 Committee: Dr. Deborah Hayes, Dr. Mark Brock, and Dr. Patrick M. Taylor (Advisor) i ii Copyrighted by Nola Carrie Queen Isobe 2016 iii iv Abstract Pervasive Dialectal Perceptions in Education Contributing to Language Dedialectalization: Appalachian a Case Study Nola Carrie Queen Isobe School of Education, Carson Newman College May 2016 Appalachian English is a dialect of American Standard English. It is spoken in much of North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. There is concern that this dialect could follow the path of dedialectalization through cultural unacceptance, generational changes, and saturation of newcomers to the area. Society views speaking proper English, the standard dialect, the route for much of the rural areas inhabitants to take to achieve better jobs and find social acceptance and a successful life. Society’s social view of an uneducated people speaking the Appalachian dialect prompts teachers to change students’ dialect to help them ensure success in school and society at large. Could teachers in fact hold perceptions of students that are accelerating the dedialectalization of the Appalachian dialect? This study will shed some light on the perceptions that educators have in regards to dialects, specifically the Appalachian dialect. v List of Figures and Tables FIGURE 1: Appalachian Regional Commission Map of Appalachia……………………….. 1 FIGURE 2: Robert Delany Map of American English……………………………………… 140 FIGURE 3: Summary of Dialect Samples Graph………………………………..…………..

  • Appalachian Dulcimer
    Musical 6 Instruments Though you may fret me, yet you cannot play upon me. - William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1601 [overleaf] The mountain dulcimer in its most familiar form. Musical Instruments I 203 APPALACHIAN DULCIMER There is something daunting to the novice about making stringed instru- ments. They look hard to do, but you can make a dulcimer, particularly if you can borrow one to copy. You will do well to copy one that you like, but if you prefer, you can follow the dimensions 1 give here and end up with another one like the one I borrowed. The process I describe should adapt to any design. If you have a good guitar shop nearby, you can usually arrange to get hold of a dulcimer for long enough to copy it, and you can buy strings, fretwire, and even pegs. This leaves you with eight or fewer pieces of wood to shape and glue together into a box that sings. Any good instrument begins with good wood that has been given enough time to dry. You may even cut a tree with the instrument in mind. Split pieces for the sides, head, and fretboard from a green walnut log, thin them down, and put them away. Salvage an old poplar board from a hog pen to use for the face and back. Clean it up and bring it inside to dry. It all starts with good wood, you add the drying, and then you shape all the parts and glue them together. Start the head (called the scroll if you use the traditional snailshell carv- ing) by sawing its outline from a 1 Winch-thick piece of walnut (or maple or whatever hardwood you wish).

  • Thomas Subaru Hyundai Stage
    THOMAS AUTOMOTIVE STAGE- SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, FSU UPPER QUAD 10:30 AM Church Folk Church Folk is an acoustic folk trio based out of Cumberland, MD. They sing about life, love, and loss. Some songs are short reflections on life, others are observations on events or explorations of theology and faith. While each member writes in a different style, Church Folk is always working to create music that is a candid look into their lives. The goal is never about making the "best" or most complicated music, it's about making music that is honest and attainable. 11:10 AM The Time Travelers Primarily based out of Hampshire County, W.Va., the Time Travelers are keeping folk traditions alive through their powerful rendering of some of the most traditional tunes, songs and coal-mining ballads of the Appalachian region. The group brings three-part harmony alive. 11:50 AM Pete Hobbie and Dakota Karper Pete Hobbie and Dakota Karper are a father- daughter duo who embrace the heritage and traditions of Oldtime Appalachian Music. Pete began playing music as a child, and in his teen years picked up the guitar. Through a lifetime of musical experiences he has been influenced by rock, blues, Cajun, classical music and so much more. The Hobbie home was always filled with music. When Dakota was 8 years old he gifted her first fiddle. Now as an adult Dakota has continued to pursue music and has opened her own folk music school in Capon Bridge, WV called ‘The Cat and The Fiddle’ where Pete is now learning to play the fiddle as well.

  • Musical Journey Study Guide for Teachers
    Lorinda Jones ! Education Support Materials ! Teacher/Student Study Guide ! “A Musical Journey of Kentucky” ! Program Goal: ! Students will identify how immigration, lifestyle, and significant events in history, developed into the folk music of Kentucky and the Appalachian region of the United States specifically through the evolution of instruments and song. ! ! Program Description: ! An energetic performance on the state instrument of Kentucky, the mountain dulcimer, captures the focus of the students from the beginning and continues through to the end with songs, stories, and instruments that delight the audience. Students are challenged to think about the origin and roots of the mountain music that is important to Kentucky’s heritage. Taking a trip through time, students begin to understand that music has evolved due to immigration and significant historical events and periods of history. The unique instruments that capture the student’s attention may include: gourd banjo, modern banjo, fiddle, harp, Irish whistle, autoharp, psaltery, Scheitholt, guitar, and mountain dulcimers. Song selections are age appropriate and include sing alongs for audience participation. A powerpoint slideshow can accompany the performance (if slide and projector available) and enhances the program with additional historical information and song lyrics. ! ! ! ! ! Art Form: Music ! Students are exposed to a variety of folk instruments, primarily stringed, as well as songs and musical terms. ! Students are challenged to make connections between history, culture, immigration and the effect on folk music. ! Students are given the opportunity to see a number of rare instruments performed in a concert-like “live performance” setting, rather than through pictures or video. ! ! Curriculum Standards ! This program is designed to meet the core content standards in the area of arts and humanities, specifically, American folk music, historical significance and origin.
