Since then, we have been able to focus our efforts on the scourge of bullying, ridicule and violence among youth. The Don’t Laugh at Me program brought children together in schools, camps, and clubs to sing and engage in exercises that built a sense of community and mutual respect. We have seen bullying, ridicule and violence recede and kindness advance where the program has been implemented. We still do, and the Don’t Laugh at Me program is just as vital and effective as ever. It remains the heart and soul of Operation Respect. However, the troubling new world of growing racial and cultural tension requires that we do more. We can’t ignore the rhetoric of division and hostility that has permeated discourse We are taking on the here in the U.S., in much of Europe and other parts of the world.

  • St. Botolph Club Remains a Solid and Comforting Home
    Volume 19 Number 1 : Fall 2017 Saint BotolphBulletin Comments from the Editorial Department Buell Hollister & Bill Taylor The world outside 199 Commonwealth Avenue may be chaotic, politics in disarray, common knowledge upended daily, dark matter itself become visible – yet the St. Botolph Club remains a solid and comforting home. We are not, nor ever should be, in lockstep with each other, yet we broadly appreciate the same things in art and science. We have that wonderful thing called comity. We are accepting and tolerant – the big oak door at the top of the steps is closed only against intolerance and small-mindedness. Our club life since the last edition of the Bulletin has been, as usual, vigorous and mind-expanding. Each week brought something new in music, history, art and literature. The Club Night and Round Table venues were crowded with far too many items of musical, literary, historical and otherwise interesting topics to cover in any detail here – nicely iced with great parties having no high-falutin’ values at all. In addition to 12th Night, in which spouses were allowed to see for themselves the deepest Botolphian mysteries for the first time Lisa Bonneville after winning the Caledonian golf match in the Club’s history, we celebrated Bobby Burn’s birthday at Burns Night with a Caledonian golf game that had the walls ringing, or thudding anyway; a New Members Gala, which also celebrated those members, and a visit from our old friend, member Noel Stooky, are just a few of the season’s highlights. After many years as editor (with a few off as president of the club), I am happy to announce that the job of publishing the The world outside 199 Commonwealth Avenue may be St.

  • Folk Music 1 Folk Music
    Folk music 1 Folk music Folk music Béla Bartók recording Slovak peasant singers in 1908 Traditions List of folk music traditions Musicians List of folk musicians Instruments Folk instruments Folk music is an English term encompassing both traditional folk music and contemporary folk music. The term originated in the 19th century. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. This music is also referred to as traditional music and, in US, as "roots music". Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction.[1] This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two. Traditional folk music Definitions A consistent definition of traditional folk music is elusive. The terms folk music, folk song, and folk dance are comparatively recent expressions. They are extensions of the term folk lore, which was coined
