Riddle, Journal Editor (+1 505.988.1092, [email protected]) RIP: Peter 'Pete' Seeger1 (1919-2014) Champion of Folk Music and Social Change Peter 'Pete' Seeger was only locally known as a folk-singer/folk-songwriter/banjo- player prior to becoming, in the 1940s, nationally – and soon thereafter, internationally – known and recogized as a member of the Weavers – founded by Pete along with Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays and Fred Hellerman. The Weavers were pretty much single-handedly responsible for initiating the acoustic folk-music period of the 1950s and 1960s, introducing the world to the music of Woodrow Wilson 'Woody' Guthrie (This Land is Your Land, Talking Dust Bowl Blues, Deportee, Do Re Mi, etc.), Huddie 'Lead Belly' Ledbetter (Goodnight Irene, On a Monday, Midnight Special, Long Island Line, etc.) and several other gospel/folk- song writers (We Shall Overcome, Amazing Grace, Ain't Gonna Study War No More, Midnight Special, John Hardy, (Give Me That) Old-Time Religion, Skip to My Lou, Pick a Bale of Cotton, Darling Cory, On Top of Old Smokey, Follow the Drinking Gourd, The Wreck of the John B., etc.) The Weavers started to break-up in the late-1950s when Pete left the group because he did not want to participate in recording music for cigarette ads. Pete, and, eventually the other Weavers, went on to individual folk-singer careers. Initially dampened during the McCarthy Era, Pete's career blossened as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, counterculture and environmental causes. It's arguably true that 80%-plus of the world's current two- to hundred-year olds – and not just here in the U.S. – have heard Pete perform his songs, or the songs of others, and had their perception of the world, and how to responsibly live in it, positively affected. Pete is best known as a strident alto/tenor singer, master banjo-player and the writer of songs with catchy, singable tunes with parsimonious, simple, yet insightful and thought-provoking lyrics. His most well-known creations include: Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season), Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, If I Had a Hammer, Abiyoyo, etc. My personal favorite song in Pete's discography is the little-known Get Up And Go (see next page), a rendition of a poem written by an anonymous reporter/editor for a St. Louis newspaper which was collected, adapted, and set to music by Pete.2 For some reason, this song caught my attention when I was a 'youngster' in my late-twenties. It was one of the first songs I learned to play on my inherited-originally-tenor-and-later-converted-to-five-string banjo. 1 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Seeger 2 Most sources for this song's lyrics attribute them to Pete Seeger. According to Pete's autobiography, however, he learned that the writer was a mid-western newspaper man. Pete contacted the author to offer him credit and royalties for the song. The newspaper man declined Pete's offer, wishing to remain anonymous. Despite the author's anonymity, it is known that the poem was published in a St Louis newspaper, most likely the Globe-Democrat, which is now defunct< in the 1950s. ii Ewing Family Journal Vol. 20, No. 1 (February 2014) I've continuously returned to it as – believe it or not – a pick-me-up as I have faced and coped with, over the years, 'growing old' with a smile, light heart and positive attitude. In addition to being a widely-known singer/songwriter/banjo-player, Pete was a punster/jokester/satirist, teacher, writer/poet/story-teller, humanitarian, and anti-war/environmental activist. His general philosophy of and approach to life are revealed – in addition to through his songs' lyrics – in several pithy quotes: Every child should be issued a banjo at birth. Don't let schoolin' get in the way of your education. Technology will save us if it doesn't wipe us out first. Singing with children in the schools has been the most rewarding experience of my life. The world has lost one of its finest persons. May Pete rest in peace knowing that he had a very broad international impact, was much enjoyed, and will long be remembered. Wm E. Riddle Get Up And Go Lyrics by Anonymous. Collected, Adapted and Set to Music by Pete Seeger. Chorus: Third Verse How do I know my youth is all spent? When I was young my slippers were red. Well, my get up and go has got up and went. I could kick up my heels right over my head. But in spite of it all I'm able to grin When I was older my slippers were blue, When I think of the places my get up has been. But still I could dance the whole night thru. First Verse: Fourth Verse Old age is golden, or so I've heard said. Now I'm yet older; my slippers are black. But sometimes I wonder as I crawl into bed. I huff to the store and I puff my way back. With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup, But never you laugh. I don't mind at all. My eyes on the table until I wake up. I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all. Second Verse: Fifth Verse: As sleep dims my vision I say to myself: I get up each morning and dust off my wits. Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf? Open the paper and read the obits. But though nations are warring and Obama is vexed. If I'm not there I know I'm not dead. I'll stick around to see what happens next. So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.

    The Clan Ewing of Loch Lomond – an Alternate View1 John D

    20 Journal of Clan Ewing Vol. 12, No. 4 (November 2006) The Clan Ewing of Loch Lomond – An Alternate View1 John D. McLaughlin (Lochlan at aol.com) The following statement by Elbert William Robinson (E.W.R.) Ewing in his Clan Ewing in Scotland2 summarizes the most common origin postulated for the Ewings of Glasgow and Loch Lomond. “The name is distinctly of Gaelic and clan origin, and except where particular family histories and other evidence point to a different conclusion, persons bearing the name and traceable to the localities known to have been occupied by the early clan, its septs and descendants, are of the same race and probably sprung from the MacEwens of Otter. In the Lowland districts the blood has mixed largely with that of the Lowland inhabitants.” DNA lends some credence to this theory as most of the Ewings do match the NW Irish modal; and by pedigree the Clan MacEwen of Otter are said to be Ui Neill, descended from the Irish O'Neills (NW Irish). But there are several problems with this theory, the first of which is that the pedigree linking the MacEwens and other clans to the Ui Neill of Ireland is most likely a medieval fabrication; and secondly the fact that the Ewings do match the NW Irish modal does not necessarily mean they were descendants of Nial or descended from the Irish O'Neills. Several Scottish families in both Irish and Scottish genealogical manuscripts are said to descend from Anradan, said to be a son of Aedh Athlaman, the Irish king of Aileach who died in 1033, the ancestor of the Irish O'Neills.

In order to create the book, an overview of the PHMC Civil War holdings was necessary. A SIR collaborative project was funded early in 2002, and Dr. James P.

    The Macphersons and Magees MY KITH AND KIN Forebears, Descendants, and Related Families of John and Ann (Magee) Macpherson Compiled by LAURA MACPHERSON CRAWFORD CL A R E I\1 0 N T , C LL\ LI F O RN I A 1 949 COPYRIGHT I 949 LAUR..\ MACPHERSON CRAWFORD CLAREMONT, CALIFORNIA Retail and Trade Distribution by Dawson's Book Shop 627 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 14, California PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY GRANT DAHLSTROM AT THE CASTLE PRESS, PASADENA, CALIFORNIA Introduction OR years I have been urged by members of my family to try my Fhand at fashioning a "family tree." The answer always has been, "someday." It has taken repeated requests to bring about that "someday," which is now in the late afternoon of my life. In collecting these chronicles of the Macpherson and Magee families for the descendants of today and tomorrow, I wish those voices, stilled long ago, to take the modest place due them in his­ tory. Even a cursory view shows they were true to the pattern of pioneers who crossed the Atlantic more than a century ago, to do their bit as empire builders in the new, untried, sprawling land called Canada. These early settlers were brave spirits who must have had guardian angels to guide them over the· rough places. Surely a less sturdy stock would have succumbed. As descendants, we pay tribute to their initiative, their spade work, their intelli­ gence, and their contribution to good citizenship. They carved out a place for themselves where no man needed to call another master.
