Ray Rees Dave Hambley writes: “ Norman Wootton telephoned me with the sad news, that his friend Ray Rees, passed away in Dec 2019 aged 92. A long-standing NHL member, Ray was also a judo black belt and instructor. The NHL had a 'Seniors' competition in the 90's and Ray won it several times. He played Chromatic.” Dave Taylor reports, it was nice to get a telephone call From Janet Tyler…. Janet kindly forwarded us a membership request from Malaysia, which came because of a link to her late husband John Tyler. John passed away 25 years ago, but had been instrumental in keeping the NHL going. Thank you John. Congratulations to Reading Harmonica Group A keen group got together for the rst meeting, and they plan to meet every month, at ‘Great Expectations’.

Please renew as soon as possible- it means less work for our hard-working Membership Secretary, and above all it helps keep our costs down, so that we can spend more money on lovely activities for you ;-) page 5 Sam Wilkinson is the rst Committee member to have the specic role of Co-ordinating all Publicity for HarmonicaUK... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FROM PUBLICITY ...Sam Wilkinson writes What have Judas Priest, Ke$ha and classical concertos got in common? Well… I’ll reveal all later… Firstly, I’d like to introduce myself as HarmonicaUK’s new Committee Member for Publicity. I have overall responsibility for how HarmonicaUK communicates with members and the outside world. We need consistency across all our communications including the website and social media. Many of you have noticed the new website, which I developed over the last six months (mainly thanks to time o* work due to a planned operation). Starting from scratch I concentrated on stripping the content right back to give a simple and uncluttered vibe. This will always be a work in progress and further developments will be happening in the future. Membership, ticketing and the giglist will still be hosted on the old website for the foreseeable future. HarmonicaUK has been active on Facebook and Twitter for a good while but hasn’t done much with Instagram. An account was set up by Sam Spranger, who did a great job getting out of the starting blocks but was unable to continue. I picked up the reins, and I’m pleased with how things have gone. From mid-January, I posted at least daily. The main subject, is wishing famous harmonica players Happy Birthday. Usually I provide little snippets of information that aren’t so well known. I post about songs that feature harmonica, and something about the artist or harmonica player. Our IG Followers have trebled, to over 500, with many positive comments. Our username is @HarmonicaUK_ And therein lies the answer to my opening question… you guessed it… all of these have been included in my Instagram posts! The Instagram account is linked to the Twitter account, so the same posts will be posted there too. In addition, the six latest Instagram posts are shown on the new website homepage. Nifty, eh? Feedback and ideas always welcome – please email me at [email protected] page 6 The Award Winning Music Shop The UK’s Largest Harmonica Specialist Eagle Music Shop are proud to carry the largest stock WORLD in the UK for SEYDEL , HOHNER & SUZUKI CLASS HARMONICAS Harmonicas Banjos Ukuleles ...plus much much more in our Guitars Melodeons shop and our huge website Books Mandolins Worldwide #1 Deering Banjo Dealer Tanglewo od #1 Independ ent Dealership Accessories for all Martin Guitars Heritage Cent re Free Premier Instrument Set up Thousands of 5 Star Reviews Starter Packs for many Instruments BANJOS USA View our full range of instruments & accessories at www .eaglemusicshop.com Visit our shop at Armitage Bridge, Huddersfield Open 9:30am to 5pm Mon to F ri, 10am to 4pm Sat Call 01484 661460 FROM THE EDITOR ...Dave Taylor writes PLEASE- I NEED ANOTHER EDITOR ... yes, I need another / extra / Associate / Assistant Editor … -We could be an equal Editorial Collective -a team of two, or more. -Or I can take the responsibility as main Editor, with you helping. -Or I can be YOUR assistant, and YOU take the lead as Editor yourself. There is too much work for one person to do. And I do not have enough time, to get all that work done- let alone, to be able to develop all the great new extra ideas that could improve your magazine even more. So, what does the Editorial Team do? Generate 40+ pages of fresh new material each issue, with articles that try to cover every type of harmonica music, balanced to make varied and interesting reading. Each article needs to be discussed with authors, and very often rewritten until it is ready.

    LARGE-SCALE MUSIC CLASSIFICATION USING AN APPROXIMATE k-NN CLASSIFIER Haukur Pálmason Master of Science Computer Science January 2011 School of Computer Science Reykjavík University M.Sc. RESEARCH THESIS ISSN 1670-8539 Large-Scale Music Classification using an Approximate k-NN Classifier by Haukur Pálmason Research thesis submitted to the School of Computer Science at Reykjavík University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science January 2011 Research Thesis Committee: Dr. Björn Þór Jónsson, Supervisor Associate Professor, Reykjavík University, Iceland Dr. Laurent Amsaleg Research Scientist, IRISA-CNRS, France Dr. Yngvi Björnsson Associate Professor, Reykjavík University, Iceland Copyright Haukur Pálmason January 2011 Large-Scale Music Classification using an Approximate k-NN Classifier Haukur Pálmason January 2011 Abstract Content based music classification typically uses low-level feature vectors of high-dimensionality to represent each song. Since most classification meth- ods used in the literature do not scale well, the number of such feature vec- tors is usually reduced in order to save computational time. Approximate k-NN classification, on the other hand, is very efficient and copes better with scale than other methods. It can therefore be applied to more feature vec- tors within a given time limit, potentially resulting in better quality. In this thesis, we first demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of approximate k-NN classification through a traditional genre classification task, achieving very respectable accuracy in a matter of minutes. We then apply the approx- imate k-NN classifier to a large-scale collection of more than thirty thousand songs. We show that, through an iterative process, the classification con- verges relatively quickly to a stable state.

  • Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop for Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media
    Dan Hicks’ Caucasian Hip-Hop For Hicksters Published February 19, 2015 | Copyright @2015 Straight Ahead Media Author: Steve Roby Showdate : Feb. 18, 2015 Performance Venue : Yoshi’s Oakland Bay Area legend Dan Hicks performed to a sold-out crowd at Yoshi’s on Wednesday. The audience was made up of his loyal fans (Hicksters) who probably first heard his music on KSAN, Jive 95, back in 1969. At age 11, Hicks started out as a drummer, and was heavily influenced by jazz and Dixieland music, often playing dances at the VFW. During the folk revival of the ‘60s, he picked up a guitar, and would go to hootenannies while attending San Francisco State. Hicks began writing songs, an eclectic mix of Western swing, folk, jazz, and blues, and eventually formed Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. His offbeat humor filtered its way into his stage act. Today, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Hicks sums up his special genre as “Caucasian hip-hop.” Over four decades later, Hicks still delivers a unique performance, and Wednesday’s show was jammed with many great moments. One of the evenings highlights was the classic “I Scare Myself,” which Hicks is still unclear if it’s a love song when he wrote it back in 1969. “I was either in love, or I’d just eaten a big hashish brownie,” recalled Hicks. Adding to the song’s paranoia theme, back-up singers Daria and Roberta Donnay dawned dark shades while Benito Cortez played a chilling violin solo complete with creepy horror movie sound effects.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • Selective Tradition and Structure of Feeling in the 2008 Presidential Election: a Genealogy of “Yes We Can Can”
    Selective Tradition and Structure of Feeling in the 2008 Presidential Election: A Genealogy of “Yes We Can Can” BRUCE CURTIS Abstract I examine Raymond Williams’s concepts “structure of feeling” and “selective tradition” in an engagement with the novel technical-musical-cultural politics of the 2008 Barack Obama presidential election campaign. Williams hoped structure of feeling could be used to reveal the existence of pre-emergent, counter-hegemonic cultural forces, forces marginalized through selective tradition. In a genealogy of the Allen Toussaint composition, “Yes We Can Can,” which echoed a key campaign slogan and chant, I detail Toussaint’s ambiguous role in the gentrification of music and dance that descended from New Orleans’s commerce in pleasure. I show that pleasure commerce and struggles against racial segregation were intimately connected. I argue that Toussaint defanged rough subaltern music, but he also promoted a shift in the denotative and connotative uses of language and in the assignments of bodily energy, which Williams held to be evidence of a change in structure of feeling. It is the question of the counter-hegemonic potential of subaltern musical practice that joins Raymond Williams’s theoretical concerns and the implication of Allen Toussaint’s musical work in cultural politics. My address to the question is suggestive and interrogative rather than declarative and definitive. Barack Obama’s 2008 American presidential election and the post-election celebrations were the first to be conducted under the conditions of “web 2.0,” whose rapid spread from the mid-2000s is a historic “cultural break” similar in magnitude and consequence to the earlier generalization of print culture.1 In Stuart Hall’s terms, such breaks are moments in which the cultural conditions of political hegemony change.2 They are underpinned by changes in technological forces, in relations of production and communication.

  • Dr. Richard Brown Faith, Selfhood and the Blues in the Lyrics of Nick Cave
    Student ID: XXXXXX ENGL3372: Dissertation Supervisor: Dr. Richard Brown Faith, Selfhood and the Blues in the Lyrics of Nick Cave Table of Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One – ‘I went on down the road’: Cave and the holy blues 4 Chapter Two – ‘I got the abattoir blues’: Cave and the contemporary 15 Chapter Three – ‘Can you feel my heart beat?’: Cave and redemptive feeling 25 Conclusion 38 Bibliography 39 Appendix 44 Student ID: ENGL3372: Dissertation 12 May 2014 Faith, Selfhood and the Blues in the lyrics of Nick Cave Supervisor: Dr. Richard Brown INTRODUCTION And I only am escaped to tell thee. So runs the epigraph, taken from the Biblical book of Job, to the Australian songwriter Nick Cave’s collected lyrics.1 Using such a quotation invites anyone who listens to Cave’s songs to see them as instructive addresses, a feeling compounded by an on-record intensity matched by few in the history of popular music. From his earliest work in the late 1970s with his bands The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party up to his most recent releases with long- time collaborators The Bad Seeds, it appears that he is intent on spreading some sort of message. This essay charts how Cave’s songs, which as Robert Eaglestone notes take religion as ‘a primary discourse that structures and shapes others’,2 consistently use the blues as a platform from which to deliver his dispatches. The first chapter draws particularly on recent writing by Andrew Warnes and Adam Gussow to elucidate why Cave’s earlier songs have the blues and his Christian faith dovetailing so frequently.
