(le Mayfield will be on hand, and he has promised to bring along his wife Doris idsome of his musical friends from Southern Illinois. He is especially hopeful lat Stelle Elam, the fiddler featured on the Club's record, will be able to appear Sthe sing. It was just one year ago that Mrs. Elam made her debut on our stage, id those who were there will remember the excitment she generated with her old- lmey fiddling style. Less entertaining, but ultimately perhaps more important, is the annual businesE !eting, scheduled for February 12th at 8:00 p.m. in Room 273 Illini Union. This ithe one meeting during the year when all members of the Club can vote--specific- ly, for the five officers, President, Viee-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and wrresponding Secretary. Although preliminary selections for these offices have ýen made by a nominating committee, the decisions of the committee are not final; ey are only guidelines, and any legitimate (dues-paying) member can propose his n choices for any of the above offices and vote for them. As an added attraction for those contemplating attending the business meeting, film will be shown free of charge. It will feature the folksongs of the Ozark igion and will deal with the folklore scholar's job of collecting songs and in- Irmation about them. Finally, plans are afoot for the further advancement of the Club's seminar ,ogram.

The instigation for this foray into the midst of my betters came, as one might suspect, from Archie Green, the eminent advisor to Campus Folksong Club and a long-recognized leader in the study of traditional music. Archie had suggest- ed, as long ago as last year, in fact, that I drop in at one of these solemn gatherings and stretch my brain with a well-researched paper or two. Circumstances, the press of business, and a chronically moribund pocketbook had prevented such ramblings in past years, however, and I had to rest content with secondhand reports from the above-mentioned advisor as well as A. Doyle Moore, Preston Martin, Larry Klingman, and other migratory workers. But in December of the year just past I found myself in better circumstances and, thanking Archie for his good offices, resolved to join the assembly of brains on the second day of its convention. Since the conclave was to be held in Detroit, only half a day's journey from my home, the trip would be neither arduous nor pro- hibitive in expense. On the 28th of December I strode into LaSalle Street Station in Chicago, crossed the ticket agent's palm with thirteen pieces of silver, and then entrusted my destiny to the Michigan Central Railroad for the ensuing five hours, all of which were pleasantly spent, mostly in the bar car, where I performed a study in folklore all my own, to wit: the observation of Homo americanus railroadiensis under the influence of a fast train and eight-year-old Scotch. The conclusions of this research, only tangentially germane to the present narrative, will be published as a separate project as soon as I can secure a grant from the Association of American Railroads. Suffice to say that, after a pleasant afternoon of watching my fellow passengers going into eclipse and the ingestion of an epic meal (terminated by a symphonic plum pudding with brandy) I dismounted from the train in Detroit's venerable Central Station and boarded a bus for the Park- Shelton Hotel, center of the festivities and gypsy camp for the Illinois delegation of Green and Moore. I arrived in the lobby and found it deserted. The clerk con- firmed that my mentors were indeed putting up on the premises, but were nowhere to be found at the present moment. Plumping into an armchair, I resolved to wait until they showed up. An hour passed, and a second threatened, but still no sign of a folklorist. Suddenly, there strode from the elevator toward the street, in great haste, a man I recognized. It seemed to be Roger Abrahams of Texas, who gave a lecture here last year, and I strode up to him politely. "Pardon me, are you Roger Abrahams?" "Yes... "I'm from Illinois; do you know where Archie Green is?" "Well, I just overslept my nap, but I think they're all over at the International Institute next door. There's a program arranged for tonight." We turned to our left and headed for the Institute adjacent to the hotel. Just as we reached the street, however, we were greeted by Judy McCulloh, and then by several other guests, all of whom informed us that the program was now over. On inquiring as to what we had missed, we discovered that the scholars had been enter- tained by no less than a group of Ukrainian folk musicians and dancers. The implications for a Slavic scholar like myself were obvious, and I cursed my timidity at not having ventured outside the hotel during the past hour. Had I decided on a stroll I might have at least chanced upon the Institute and caught a faint chord or two from a bandura or balalaika. But all had been for naught, and to boot, I was faced with the problem of what to do for the rest of the evening and where to spend the night.

Young This dissertation examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike in relationship to the history of labor organizing and coalmining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the Ludlow Massacre, which took place during the 1913- 1914 Colorado coal strike led by the United Mine Workers of America, there has been a curious lack of attention to the Columbine Massacre that occurred not far away within the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike, led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

  • Download a Brief History of the San Diego Bluegrass Society
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SAN DIEGO BLUEGRASS SOCIETY By Dwight Worden May 13, 2014 THE EARLY YEARS The late 1960s and early 70s were a time of change in America. Students were active, an unpopular war was underway, and many young Americans were breaking with the traditions of their parents. It was the season of long hair and love. The new generation was experimenting with, among other things, music. Amidst the excitement and turmoil of the times many, both young and old, were searching for authenticity and solid values in music and lifestyles. The folk boom of the 1950's and early 60's had awakened many to the raw authenticity of acoustic, folk, and bluegrass music. It was during this time period that groups like the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers were making a bluegrass mark in San Diego. Two local members of that band went on to national rock and roll stardom, Chris Hillman (mandolin) who became a founding member of the Byrds (bass), and Bernie Leadon (guitar)who joined the Eagles (guitar). Kenny Wertz of the “Barkers” (banjo) went on to bluegrass fame in Country Gazette (guitar) and with the Flying Burrito Brothers. There were jam sessions at the Blue Guitar music store, then located in Old Town (now on Mission Gorge Road). Venues like the Heritage in Mission Beach and the Candy Company brought acts like Vern and Ray, the Dillards, and others to town. “Cactus Jim” Soldi of Valley Music in El Cajon was the first to bring Bill Monroe to town at the Bostonia Ballroom in El Cajon.

  • 1 James Gregory October 3, 2000 the WEST and WORKERS, 1870
    1 James Gregory October 3, 2000 THE WEST AND WORKERS, 1870-1930, Blackwell Companion to the History of the American West, William Deverell, ed. (forthcoming) "Is there something unique about Seattle's labor history that helps explain what is going on?" the reporter for a San Jose newspaper asks me on the phone during the World Trade Organization protests that filled Seattle streets with 50,000 unionists, environmentalists, students, and other activists in the closing days of the last millennium. "Well, yes and no," I answer before launching into a much too complicated explanation of how history might inform the present without explaining it and how the West does have some particular traditions and institutional configurations that have made it the site of bold departures in the long history of American class and industrial relations but caution that we probably should not push the exceptionalism argument too far. "Thanks," he said rather vaguely as we hung up 20 minutes later. His story the next day included a twelve word quotation.1 The conversation, I realize much later, revealed some interesting tensions. Not long ago the information flow might have been reversed, the historian might have been calling the journalist to learn about western labor history, a body of 2 research that until the 1960s had not much to do with professional historians, particularly those who wrote about the West. And his disappointment at my long-winded equivocations had something to do with those disciplinary vectors. He had been hoping to tap into an argument that journalists know well but that academics have struggled with.

    “For a World Without Oppressors:” U.S. Anarchism from the Palmer Raids to the Sixties by Andrew Cornell A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social and Cultural Analysis Program in American Studies New York University January, 2011 _______________________ Andrew Ross © Andrew Cornell All Rights Reserved, 2011 “I am undertaking something which may turn out to be a resume of the English speaking anarchist movement in America and I am appalled at the little I know about it after my twenty years of association with anarchists both here and abroad.” -W.S. Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.
