  • THE BANJO IS BACK It’S a Clanky Little Five-String Instrument with a Bluegrass History That Thompson Square Joins Was All but Extinct in Mainstream Country Music

  • “When in Doubt, Write a Hymn.” the Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter
    “When in doubt, write a hymn.” The award-winning singer-songwriter Marcus Hummon and his wife, Episcopal priest and founder of Thistle Farms, Becca Stevens, have written a wonderful book of reflections on Marcus’ cantata The Passion. Marcus and Becca look at the creative process of composing – especially a sacred text – and the scripture passages chosen to make up the cantata. Their reflections form a strong foundation for our own Holy Week prayer – and move us toward the joy of Easter with the final cut, “A New Song.” Commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral in Nashville, the score and a CD or mp3 recorded in Nashville are all available from Church Publishing. Here’s a bit of what Marcus has to say about the commission and his writing process. When I was commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral here in Nashville to write a cantata reflecting the last days of Jesus’s life, I wasn’t sure how to begin. First of all, my background is not in sacred music, but rather in popular country music. It just happens that while writing songs for the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, and others, I had started to dabble in writing music for the theater. As I wasn’t classically trained, I would need help from a friend of mine, David John Madore at the Hartt Conservatory of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, in transcribing the choral work I was arranging, and my friend Dr. Deen Entzminger and the Belmont Chamber Singers to bring the work to fruition, to full performance. I also asked Jonathan Yudkin to add his beautiful cello accompaniment.

  • John Cooper Sworn in As 9Th Mayor of Metro Nashville
    JOHN COOPER SWORN IN AS 9TH MAYOR OF METRO NASHVILLE MAYOR JOHN COOPER’S REMARKS: Thank you to everyone for coming to Stratford High School this morning. This is special place. Fifty-six years ago — less than a week after Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his “I have a Dream” speech — my campaign co-chair — and my friend — Brenda Haywood — walked through these doors and integrated Stratford High. Today, Brenda joins me in my administration as deputy mayor for community engagement. Brenda, can you please stand? I am so honored by your trust and your support. Thank you. Today we gather together to celebrate a very special moment — the commissioning of a new government for our city. A co-missioning — a coming together. This is a celebration of collective action to make our community stronger. Today, we begin the work of making Nashville a city that works for everyone. Of ensuring that Nashville is a livable, nourishing city. Of making our city better. And we will do it together. That’s another reason we are here at Stratford STEM Magnet School. This is a school where TSU, Vanderbilt, and Nissan have come together to support the work being done here. This past year, 11 students from Stratford got full scholarships to Belmont University as part of Belmont’s Bridges to Belmont program. That’s a wonderful accom- plishment. But Stratford — like many of our schools — also faces challenges. It started the year without a chemistry or Spanish teacher. We are struggling to recruit and retain teachers. Teachers struggle to lead middle-class lives.
