Ctba Newsletter 1205 1 COPYRIGHT © CENTRAL TEXAS BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION IBMA Member Central Vol. 34 No. 5 Texas Bluegrass May 1, 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Central Texas Bluegrass Association Raffle Winners Claim Prizes at Old Settlers CTBA board members sure en- joyed the opportunity to visit with friends--old and new--at our booth at Old Settlers on Fri- day and Saturday. What a great festival and beautiful weather! If Doyle Lawson and his band’s four-part harmony didn’t capture your heart, I don’t know what could. Lots of folks stopped by to check out the instrument raf- fle being held to raise money to support bluegrass camp schol- arships and promote bluegrass. Folks who had never played an instrument before and seasoned pickers alike were happy to buy tickets not only for a chance to win an instrument, but also to help support the effort. I was lucky enough to witness a shining moment of kindness and selflessness while manning the booth. A young man who desperately wanted to win the banjo had purchased several tickets earlier in the day. He kept checking back throughout Friday evening to see how many tickets had been sold and placed in the jar so he could size up his odds of winning. An older gentleman happened to be at the booth one of the times the young man came by. Immediately, he could see how much the kid wanted to win that banjo. He then bought five tickets and said to put the young man’s name on them saying that nothing would make him happier than to see that kid win it. Then they introduced themselves to each other, and the older man wished him luck. The next day, the good samaritan stopped back by the booth because he wanted to check and see how the odds were looking for the kid! While I’d like to be able to tell you that the kid won the banjo, that’s not what happened. Of course, he had shown up at 10:00 p.m. sharp for the drawing on Saturday night. Nevertheless, there were three equally enthusiastic winners that evening. An Austin youth named Brendan Wyburn was so excited when he heard his name called as the mandolin winner. A gentleman name Brian Holland from Buda won the Austin guitar, and he came to the booth right away after we called to let him know he had won. The banjo winner was Rick Mangus, a bluegrass enthusiast from Kerens, Texas who said he was attending his first-ever OSMF. He said he was raised in western Virginia where he grew up listening to his grandparents playing music out on the porch. He had already left the festi- val to drive back to his home near Corsicana, but was so excited to win, that he drove back to Austin the very next morning to pick up the banjo. He had already told us that even if he didn’t win the banjo, he was going to buy one anyway. All in all, it was a lot of fun. Meanwhile, if you know any up and coming bluegrass talent who’d like to be considered for a summer camp scholarship, please refer them to the CTBA website at www. centraltexasbluegrass.org.

Give this site a listen. This podcast’s choice of material is unlike any other that I have come upon.

The players, Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Dan Tyminski (guitar, man- dolin, lead vocal), Ron Block (banjo, guitar) and Barry Bales (bass, vocals), with Krauss on lead vocal and fiddle are five distinct personalities who come together to form something truly unique as a band. Each bandmate has his own bustling career, but when these singular musicians come together, they’re an airtight unit devoted to the process of making music together. Indeed, their connection is so close and deep that they’ve come to think of each other as family. The Lone Star State Dulcimer Festival will be held on May 11-13, 2012 at the Oakdale Park Campground in Glen Rose, TX. The Festival will feature a series of concerts of nationally known Hammer and Lap Dulicimer perform- ers, including Cathy Barton and Dave Para Bing Futch, Jim Miller and many others.

This photo was taken last year, I think. Is this a cool shot or what? The Clive Bar at 609 Davis Street, downtown Austin now has “Bluegrass and Bourbon Sunday’s”. The manager, Christian, told us, “When we started the Bluegrass Sundays we had Bluegrass Outfit and the last few weeks we have had Mother Mary and the Black Dirt and that is who is playing this week”. For those who like their Sunday’s straight up or on the rocks, it sounds like a venue worth checking out. It was in Texas Monthly too. (From Eddie Collins) The CTBA Board met on April 15th to discuss possible new lo- cations for the weekly Sunday Jam Session to replace Artz as the long-standing location. Over 12 venues were discussed, many of which had reached out to us inter- ested in hosting the event. Most only had a patio area with no inside area. One patio had “misty” devices to keep it cool in the summer, but that doesn’t work when you have musical instruments. We’re still trying to find a central location. In lieu of that, the idea of an every other week way south and every/other week way north was discussed. New jams are popping up at venues that aren’t traditionally known for bluegrass. We are waiting for feedback from people who attend these venues before offically sanctioning any one event. Thanks to all for your input and your patience as we try to finde the right location(s). 6 COPYRIGHT © CENTRAL TEXAS BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION Stuff You May Already Know The Central Texas Bluegrass Association’s 16th Annual Band Scramble & Garage Sale will be held Sunday, July 1st:.

  • Pete Seeger: a Singer of Folk Songs
    LINGUACULTURE 2, 2020 PETE SEEGER: A SINGER OF FOLK SONGS DAVID LIVINGSTONE Palacký University Abstract Pete Seeger would have turned one hundred and one on May 3 of this year. To commemorate these ten decades plus one year, I would like to look at eleven of the most remarkable aspects of Pete Seeger’s life, work and legacy. This paper will examine the cultural impact and oral tradition of the music, songs and books of Pete Seeger. This legendary folk musician's career spanned eight decades and touched on many of the key historical developments of the day. He is responsible for some of the iconic songs which have not only helped define American culture, but even beyond. Seeger was also a pioneer in a number of fields, using his music to propagate political convictions, ecological themes, civil rights, world music, education, etc. The folk singer also had his finger on the pulse of a number of developments in American history and culture. He was friends with a number of prominent musicians and artists and influenced an entire range of younger musicians and activists. Keywords: Pete Seeger; Folk music; American history; Social activism; Civil Rights movement Family Pete Seeger’ family was a powerhouse of talent, musically and beyond. Charles Seeger (1886-1979), his father, was a renowned musicologist who held a number of prominent university positions. His political convictions, obviously on the left, were also instrumental in forming his son’s ideological worldview. His mother Constance de Clyver (1886-1975) was also a musician although not as accomplished by far as his stepmother Ruth Seeger (1901-1953) (mother to Mike and Peggy).
