  • Golden Gate Grooves
    THE GOLDEN GATE BLUES SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Issue 4, December 2009 GOLDEN GATE GROOVES FROM THE EDITOR Happy New Year, Blues lovers! This year passed incredibly fast (as they all do, it seems to me). The Golden Gate Blues Society (GGBS), which was founded in April 2009, heads into 2010 with some challenges ahead. We're still looking for a new location for our weekly pro blues jam since the closure of The Little Fox, our beloved home base, in early December. Keep the faith; we hope to be up and running again soon, and continuation at the Little Fox is a possibility. We're proud of what we have accomplished, which includes a viable and growing Blues in the Libraries program. And I'm personally proud of the caliber of contributions to this fledgling newsletter. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has invested time and energy into making this publication happen! In this issue of Golden Gate Grooves , Dorothy Hill , to whom I owe a personal debt of gratitude for her contributions (for more than what you see in print), reviews a recent Sista Monica show at Biscuits & Blues in San Francisco. Sista Monica is a local (and national) treasure who has battled back from serious illness to once again energize and amaze her audiences with her voice. Joseph Jordan presents his interview with Cathy Lemons and Johnny Ace --a musical and life partnership that keeps growing in interesting directions. You may recall the article Johnny contributed to the last edition of the newsletter on bluesman Stu Blank.

  • Craig Farkash
    How Blue Can You Get? Urban Mythmaking and the Blues in Edmonton, Alberta by Craig Farkash A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Craig Farkash, 2019 Abstract The blues is a genre of music that is rich in storytelling. Growing out of an oral tradition that has spanned generations, its influence on popular music today is undeniable. Many will have some vague recollection of some of these stories—whether related to blues figures, cities, regions, or to moments in time these are stories shared by the entire blues community, and through them, people have become familiar with the mythical importance of places such as Chicago or the Mississippi Delta to blues music. But how does a system of myth-making work in regions that do not have the luxury of being at a blues crossroads? Using the Edmonton blues scene as a case study, this thesis examines some of the stories told by people who have long called Edmonton their home and who have contributed to the mythologization of the local blues scene and turned it into an unlikely home for the blues. By employing qualitative research methodologies, such as participant observation and in-depth interviews, this study aims to understand the role that mythmaking has played in strengthening the Edmonton blues scene. To demonstrate this, the thesis first introduces the history of the Edmonton blues scene and, more generally, the city itself. It then looks at how myth has been written about by other anthropologists and popular music researchers.
