  • Collection Highlights
    COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS “LATINOS AND BASEBALL” COLLECTING INITIATIVE Latino baseball players have been interwoven in the fabric of Major League Baseball for years. They've been some of the greatest, well-known names in baseball history. To reflect and celebrate that rich history, the National Museum of American History (“NMAH”) in collaboration with the Smithsonian Latino Center, launched Latinos and Baseball: In the Barrios and the Big Leagues. The multi-year community collecting initiative focuses on the historic role that baseball has played as a social and cultural force within Latino communities across the nation. The project launched a series of collecting events in late February in San Bernardino, California. A second event will be held in Los Angeles on July 17, 2016, and a third will be held in Syracuse, New York, on September 15, 2016. The events are designed to generate interest in the initiative, build on community relationships, record oral histories, and identify objects for possible acquisition by local historical associations as well as for the Smithsonian collections. The collaborative initiative seeks to document stories from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico and plans to collect a number of objects that could include baseball equipment; stadium signs; game memorabilia, such as handmade or mass-produced jerseys and tickets; food vendor signs; home movies; and period photographs. Curators will select objects based on the stories they represent and the insight they provide into the personal, community, and national narratives of the national pastime. “Baseball has played a major role in everyday American life since the 1800s, providing a means of celebrating both national and ethnic identities and building communities,” said John Gray, director of NMAH.

  • King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and Others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (Guest Post)*
    “King Biscuit Time”--Sonny Boy Williamson II and others (1965) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Edward Komara (guest post)* Sonny Boy Williamson II This King Biscuit show is about flour and the blues, not about flowers and rock music. “King Biscuit Time” was born when the blues harmonica master Sonny Boy Williamson (1899- 1965, born Aleck Miller) visited the newly opened KFFA radio studios in Helena, Arkansas. Seeing radio as a means of promoting his upcoming performances, Williamson pitched the idea of a regular show during the noon hour when his working audiences were taking their lunch breaks. KFFA agreed, securing Max Moore, owner of the Interstate Grocer Company and King Biscuit Flour, as the sponsor. “King Biscuit Time” debuted on November 21, 1941 at 12:15 pm, with Williamson and guitarist Robert Lockwood playing for 15 minutes. The success was immediate, allowing the musicians to maintain their time-slot every weekday. They were so successful that, in 1947, while the company’s flour bag continued to have its crown, the corn meal bag began to feature a likeness of Williamson sitting on an ear of corn. As the show continued through the 1940s, additional musicians were brought in to create a band behind Williamson. Chief among them were guitarists Joe “Willie” Wilkins, Earl Hooker and Houston Stackhouse, pianists Robert “Dudlow” Taylor, Willie Love and Pinetop Perkins, and drummer Peck Curtis. During the early broadcasts, Sam Anderson and Hugh Smith served as announcers. John William “Sonny” Payne filled in once in 1941, but he returned in 1951, staying on as the “King Biscuit Time” host until his death in 2018.

Thank you. iii ABSTRACT Little is known about the Native American influence on popular genres of music today. The subject has attracted little interest until recently, yet none of that interest has focused on the southeastern tribes, such as the Chickasaw or Choctaw. This is not altogether unusual as there remains much research to be done on how the various Native American cultures have influenced modern society.

    2014 ARSC Conference Session Abstracts Thursday May 15 PLENARY SESSION Thursday, 8:45 am – 10:00 am MUSICAL RECYCLING: PRODUCING REISSUES THROUGH THE YEARS David Giovannoni, moderator; Chris Strachwitz (Arhoolie), David Freeman (County), Richard Nevins (Yazoo), Richard Weize (Bear Family), Richard Martin (Archeophone), Lance Ledbetter (Dust-to-Digital) The six gentlemen on the dais for our opening plenary session are some of the most important and prolific musical archeologists of the past half century. Through their combined passion, resourcefulness, and diligence, they are responsible for many of our first introductions to a variety of musical styles, including blues, old-timey, folk, Mexican, Cajun, western swing, jazz, ragtime, popular music of all eras, and arcane sounds from the acoustic era, all of which might have been lost forever if not for their efforts. Since they began researching and reissuing 78s and making available unissued titles, the technology of creating a reissue has changed dramatically. This is the first time Chris Strachwitz, David Freeman, Richard Nevins, Richard Weize, Richard Martin, and Lance Ledbetter have been in the same room together. They will share their experiences and discuss the changes in how reissues have been done over the years with regard to acquiring source material as well as changes in media from LP to CD, artwork, packaging, and distribution.

    Wood: Southeast Texas: Hothouse of Zydeco Southeast Texas: Hot House of Zydeco Texas: Southeast Hot House of Zydeco From The Roots of Texas Music, forthcoming from Texas A&M University Press By Roger Wood 23 The neighboring states of Texas and Louisiana share much history and culture, yet in popular consciousness they often seem to be drastically different places. Media-perpetuated stereotypes—such as the Lone Star cowboy riding the open prairie or the savvy Creole paddling through the swamp—are obviously not entirely representative, past or present. Yet they persist, and such public images surely do affect perceptions, the ways others see us and the ways we see ourselves. In truth, however, there are prairies and cowboys in Louisiana as well as swamps and Creoles in southeast Texas. Indeed, the landscape Photo of Little Joe Washington at Miss Ann’s Player, Houston, 1998.
