  • Bob Dylan Performs “It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009
    Volume 19, Number 4, December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Society for Music Theory A Foreign Sound to Your Ear: Bob Dylan Performs “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),” 1964–2009 * Steven Rings NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.13.19.4/mto.13.19.4.rings.php KEYWORDS: Bob Dylan, performance, analysis, genre, improvisation, voice, schema, code ABSTRACT: This article presents a “longitudinal” study of Bob Dylan’s performances of the song “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” over a 45-year period, from 1964 until 2009. The song makes for a vivid case study in Dylanesque reinvention: over nearly 800 performances, Dylan has played it solo and with a band (acoustic and electric); in five different keys; in diverse meters and tempos; and in arrangements that index a dizzying array of genres (folk, blues, country, rockabilly, soul, arena rock, etc.). This is to say nothing of the countless performative inflections in each evening’s rendering, especially in Dylan’s singing, which varies widely as regards phrasing, rhythm, pitch, articulation, and timbre. How can music theorists engage analytically with such a moving target, and what insights into Dylan’s music and its meanings might such a study reveal? The present article proposes one set of answers to these questions. First, by deploying a range of analytical techniques—from spectrographic analysis to schema theory—it demonstrates that the analytical challenges raised by Dylan’s performances are not as insurmountable as they might at first appear, especially when approached with a strategic and flexible methodological pluralism.

  • The Public Integrity Section During 2008
    REPORT TO CONGRESS ON THE ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS OF THE PUBLIC INTEGRITY SECTION FOR 2008 Public Integrity Section Criminal Division United States Department of Justice Submitted Pursuant to Section 603 of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 INTRODUCTION This Report to Congress is submitted pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act of i 978, which requires the Attorney General to report annually to Congress on the operations and activities of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section. The Report describes the activities of the Public Integrity Section during 2008. It also provides statistics on the nationwide federal effort against public corrption during 2008 and over the previous two decades. The Public Integrity Section was created in i 976 in order to consolidate into one unit of the Criminal Division the Department's oversight responsibilities for the prosecution of criminal abuses of the public trust by government officials. Section attorneys prosecute selected cases involving federal, state, or local officials, and also provide advice and assistance to prosecutors and agents in the field regarding the handling of public corrption cases. In addition, the Section serves as the Justice Department's center for handling various issues that arise regarding public corrption statutes and cases. An Election Crimes Branch was created within the Section in 1980 to supervise the Department's nationwide response to election crimes, such as voter fraud and campaign- financing offenses. The Branch reviews all major election crime investigations throughout the countr and all proposed criminal charges relating to election crime. During the year, the Section maintained a staff of approximately twenty-nine attorneys, including experts in extortion, bribery, election crimes, and criminal conflicts of interest.

  • 'The Lonesome Bedroom Blues'
    ‘The Lonesome Bedroom Blues’.” Jefferson no. 124 (2000): p14-15. It’s lonesome in my bedroom, just me an’ myself alone It’s lonesome in my bedroom, just me an’ myself alone I have no one to love me, each night when I come home A room without a woman, is like a heart without a beat A room without a woman, is like a heart without a beat Seem like every woman I get, always wants to mistreat me So began the plaintive lyric of a 1937 blues which was to produce from the black record buying public of the day a measure of adulation and fame for the then, unknown, Texas blues singer Curtis Jones. The song, “Lonesome Bedroom Blues”, was to remain in Columbia’s catalogue until the demise of the 78 rpm record in the late fifties eventually to become a “blues standard” in the repertoire of a new generation of bluesmen and their white copyists. The originator, despite various attempts by enthusiasts to promote and re-record him in the sixties, was to die a forgotten, sad and embittered individual. One of seven children Curtis Jones was born on August 18,1906 in the sharecropping community of Naples, Cass County, Texas. His early child hood was much the same as that of other black children of the day; as soon as he was able he was working in the fields, but in Curtis’s case his time came quicker due to the death of his mother in 1912. By the time he reached his teens he had suffered sufficiently from the sharecropping regime - “Sometimes you have a good year and sometimes a very bad year.

  • Curtis Jones in November 1963 Neil Slaven Interviewed Bluesman Curtis Jones
    From The Vaults……. “You can’t find my records anywhere, not even in America” Neil Slaven Interviews Curtis Jones In November 1963 Neil Slaven interviewed bluesman Curtis Jones. The interview appeared in Jazz Monthly in January 1964. Here we reproduce the interview, edited by Neil from the original published article. I like many of the famous pianists and their styles. Charlie Oliver, he was a great pianist. I don’t know about his musical activities ’cause his kids was all my age. Therefore I wouldn’t know about his history, his age, or how his career was, but he was very good. He learned all his kids, and quite naturally I bummed around with his kids as much as there was the possibility available, so I learned quite a bit from them. But his son, he was very terrific, his name was Jack Oliver. We had many terrific good singers down there and musicians, pianists and all. A lot of them wouldn’t record because of their American situation of life. They didn’t know how to protect their royalties rights and things like that. And they couldn’t stand to give up nothing. So they just stayed around one place or another, but they still made money round in there. Sometimes, not in the territory where I was, but in other parts of the country over there, the white people would take them recording machines and go down and record them out in the woods, out in the streets or any way they could get them, you know. But they still wouldn’t give them no royalties.
