A pioneer of the Brooklyn music scene, Fishman “brings a feeling to a room that is reunion-like. Everyone there is part of a community…it can’t be helped.” (11211 Magazine). A testament to his wide-ranging appeal, Fishman has appeared on bills with such diverse artists as Odetta, Yo-Yo Ma, Maceo Parker, Robyn Hitchcock, Taj Mahal and Allen Holdsworth. He is a frequent NPR guest, making feature-length appearances on Fresh Air, World Cafe, Leonard Lopate and Word of Mouth, and has recently been featured as a headlining performer in the American Songbook at Lincoln Center, The Steppenwolf Theatre and at Duke Performances in North Carolina. Fishman’s travels and omnivorous curiosity inform his constantly-expanding repertoire of special projects, from his original oratorio we are destroyed, about The Donner Party, to his multi-media travelogue No Further Instructions, to his New Orleans- inspired Biting Fish Brass Band. His tenth CD, Moon Country, was released in October. Howard Fishman is a storyteller, a seeker, a cultural anthropologist, and “an important force in creative music” (allmusic.com).

    DANGEROUS, DESPERATE, AN D HOMOSEXUAL: CINEMATIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE MALE PROSTITUTE AS FALLEN ANGELS. John Phillip Lay, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2008 APPROVED: Harry M. Benshoff, Major Professor Sandra Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Chwee Lye Chng, Committee Member Ben Levin, Director of Graduate Studies C. Melinda Levin, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Lay, John Phillip, Dangerous, Desperate, and Homosexual: Cinematic Representations of the Male Prostitute as Fallen Angels. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film) May 2008, 132 pp., references, 136 titles. The purpose of this study is to frame the cinematic male prostitute as a “fallen angel” to demonstrate that the evolution of the cinematic hustler has paralleled historicized ideological definitions of male homosexuality. Because cultural understandings of male homosexuality frequently reflect Judeo-Christian ideological significations of sin and corruption, the term “fallen angel” is utilized to describe the hustler as a figure who has also succumbed to sin due to his sexual involvement with other men. This study constructs an epochal analysis of eight films that explores the confluence of the social understanding of homosexuality with the cinematic image of the hustler from the mid 1960s through the present. In doing so, this study shows that the image of the cinematic hustler is intricately tied to the image of the male homosexual in material cultures and eras that produce them. A filmography is included. Copyright 2007 by John Phillip Lay ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER 1: PROSTITUTES AND ANGELS: AN INTRODUCTION.

With a core of fiddle, accordion and guitar with the dynamic rhythm of French Canadian foot percussion, Nightingale moves easily from carefully woven song arrangements to driving instrumentals. The trio's third recording, aptly titled, "Three," was released in late 2004 to great acclaim in traditional music circles.
