    A CHANGE WILL COME Viaggio tra New York e New Jersey 26/10 – 3/11/2008 Inizio dalla fine. Aver lasciato il JFK di New York con una speranza. Arrivare in Italia e dopo poche ore scoprire e capire che un passo storico era stato compiuto. Obama. Un viaggio che parte da lontano, da lontanissimo. Un viaggio che passa attraverso campi di cotone, un autobus nell’Alabama, nel discorso del “sogno”, le lotte per i diritti civili, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, Cassius Clay, Jesse Jackson e tantissimi altri. Ma non è questione solo di colore. E’ una questione di voler cambiare pagina dopo 8 anni di umiliazioni, di colpi bassi, di verità nascoste e chissà quant’altro. Ma è tempo di parlare d’altro. Domenica verso le 14 arriviamo al Jfk, io, Silvia, Daniele e Sabrina. Joe ci viene a prendere in aeroporto per andare direttamente a Wayne, New Jersey, al Tony Mangia Show, WP 88.7 fm radio ( http://blogs.myspace.com/tonymangiawp887 ) , direttamente dal campus dell’Università di Patterson. Con Tony (al secolo Anthony Scillia) siamo in contatto da 3 anni da quando ha acquistato sul web “Dirty Roads”. Da allora è un fan della nostra band. Il suo programma radiofonico è un tributo agli italo-americani, dove si esaltano le doti, i talenti e le bellezze italiane o proveniente dall’Italia. Uno show dove puoi ascoltare Bruce Springsteen e subito dopo Modugno, fino ad arrivare anche alla musica etnica e folk italiana. Alla fine |Tony metterà su pure “Romagna mia” in onore della mia regione. Arriviamo nello studio e ci sediamo, Joe ha portato pure la chitarra.

  • Iron Ranger Paul Metsa Among Those Playing Recent 60Th Anniversary of Legendary Gerdes Folk City Club in New York Where Bob
    Media Advisory ASSETS; Photos, Interviews Contact: IMMEDIATE RELEASE Martin Keller, Media Savant Communications 612-729-8585, [email protected] IRON RANGER PAUL METSA AMONG THOSE PLAYING RECENT 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF LEGENDARY GERDES FOLK CITY CLUB IN NEW YORK WHERE BOB DYLAN DEBUTED, ALONG WITH A HANDFUL OF OTHER ARTISTS WITH FOLK-ROCK MUSIC ROOTS TWIN CITIES – January 30, 2020 – The Minnesota artist from Virginia, Minnesota, that the Huffington Post once called “Minnesota’s other great Iron Range songwriter,” Paul Metsa, realized yet another Bob Dylan benchmark recently. On January 24, 2020, he helped celebrate “Gerde’s Folk City at 60” -- the 60-year anniversary of the opening of Gerdes Folk City club in New York, the famous and intimate Greenwich Village spot where Dylan made his New York City debut in 1961, opening for bluesman John Lee Hooker. The club subsequently supported an array of artists, from folk to blues to rock including Sonic Youth. Metsa played the anniversary gig at The Iridium (Gerdes no longer exists) with fellow folkies Carolyn Hester, the UK’s James Maddock, Terre Roche (from The Roches), rocker Willie Nile, Rob Stoner, the band director of Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue, Richard Barone from The Bongos, and others to commemorate the opening of the West Village nightspot, which Rolling Stone magazine named one of the three top music venues in the world, along with The Cavern and CBGB. Folkies Carolyn Hester and Metsa Metsa’s performance caught the critical ear of Liz Thomson, writing a review of the show for theartsdesk.com in the Big Apple: “Paul Metsa, who like Dylan hails from the Iron Range and is a sort-of American Billy Bragg, offered a set that included ‘Walkin’ in a Woman’s World,’ while the marvelously entertaining Stoner wore various musical hats and sung ‘Forever Young’ as he had done on the Elvis-style Dylan demo that Presley unaccountably turned down.” “It was an incredible honor sharing the stage with those performers celebrating the magic and memories of Folk City.
