    “Talking Union”--The Almanac Singers (1941) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Cesare Civetta (guest post)* 78rpm album package Pete Seeger, known as the “Father of American Folk music,” had a difficult time of it as a young, budding singer. While serving in the US Army during World War II, he wrote to his wife, Toshi, “Every song I started to write and gave up was a failure. I started to paint because I failed to get a job as a journalist. I started singing and playing more because I was a failure as a painter. I went into the army because I was having more and more failure musically.” But he practiced his banjo for hours and hours each day, usually starting as soon as he woke in the morning, and became a virtuoso on the instrument, and even went on to invent the “long-neck banjo.” The origin of the Almanacs Singers’ name, according to Lee Hays, is that every farmer's home contains at least two books: the Bible, and the Almanac! The Almanacs Singers’ first job was a lunch performance at the Jade Mountain Restaurant in New York in December of 1940 where they were paid $2.50! The original members of the group were Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Millard Campbell, John Peter Hawes, and later Woody Guthrie. Initially, Seeger used the name Pete Bowers because his dad was then working for the US government and he could have lost his job due to his son’s left-leaning politically charged music. The Singers sang anti-war songs, songs about the draft, and songs about President Roosevelt, frequently attacking him.

    JOSH WHITE JR CARRIES ON GREAT TRADITION by Eric Myers ______________________________________________________________ [This feature appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald on August 8, 1980] osh White Jr may well have had more exciting times during his first 20 years than most people have in a lifetime. During those years he spent time J in the company of famous black entertainers such as Paul Robeson, Bill Robinson (the celebrated Mr Bojangles), Billie Holiday, Leadbelly and others. He became an intimate of the Roosevelt family, appeared in five Broadway productions as a child actor and some 50 television dramas - and survived the notorious McCarthy blacklist in the early 1950s. Son of the legendary American gospel/blues singer and guitarist Josh White, he was born into show business in 1940. He began singing with his father at the age of four, and attended the Professional Children's School in New York with such luminaries as Leslie Uggams, Marvin Hamlisch, Elliot Gould, Sandra Dee and Brandon de Wilde. Josh White Jr (left) aged 11, with his father Josh White in 1951… 1 As an entertainer who works alone, accompanying himself on guitar, Josh White Jr sees himself as carrying on the great tradition of his father who, during the 1930s, made records under the name of Joshua White the Singing Christian, and also recorded songs in the blues idiom under the name Pinewood Tom. By the second world war, Josh White had emerged from the gospel/blues world and became a major attraction in the clubs of New York. At this time he met President Franklin D Roosevelt, beginning a long association between the Roosevelt and White families.

    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.

  • “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie Mctell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader
    “Statesboro Blues”—Blind Willie McTell (1928) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Brian Bader Blind Willie McTell Blind Willie McTell was born May 5, 1901 in Thomson, Georgia. Though there is some uncertainty about his birth year, his comparatively long life (he died on Aug. 19, 1959, in Milledgeville, Georgia), his prolific recording career, the memories of numerous acquaintances, and McTell’s own recorded reminiscences, allow for a full picture of his life. His skillful fingerpicking guitar style ranks high with the playing of other acoustic blues artists, both blind (Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Reverend Gary Davis) and sighted (Josh White, Brownie McGhee). Hard to categorize, McTell embodied Piedmont blues, as well as ragtime, and gospel/spiritual/religious music, and may best be described as a mid-twentieth century American songster. One of his tunes--“covered,” or more accurately freely adapted, in a powerful electric blues rendition by the Allman Brothers Band-- is his legacy. This number most familiar to modern blues and rock fans: “Statesboro Blues.” Recorded by McTell and self-accompanied on twelve- string guitar in 1928 for Victor records, it showcases his distinctive voice and his talented guitar playing. The Allman Brothers later credited their cover of the song to “Will McTell” on their live two-record album “At Filmore East” released in 1971 on Capricorn Records. Guitarists Duane Allman (using a slide) and Dickey Betts cut loose with their trademark twin lead guitar line up in a memorable reading as a jumping blues shuffle. In an analysis of the history of “Statesboro Blues,” however, it is important to note that between the McTell recording and the Allman Brothers, there is a version from 1968 by Taj Mahal on his debut album.

Jones This thesis considers how the Black dancing body constitutes both Black history and dance history by reading the body in Pearl Primus’ Hard Time Blues, The Negro Speaks of Rivers and Strange Fruit as physical auto/biography, or what I shall herein refer to as auto/body/graphy. The Black dancing body, because it is a repository of the Black experience, actively engages in the act of self-naming, self-shaping, and self-recognition. As such, it may be considered an auto/body/graphy that is situated in Black history, an instrument through which histories of origin and migration, struggle against oppression and colonialization, and the forging of identities and self-definition are inscribed and communicated.

Ticket Offices are open Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturdays 10am-2pm or on any performance day from 10am until curtain. John Mayall was born on the 29th of November 1933 and grew up in a village not too far from Manchester, England. It was here as a teenager that he first became attracted to the jazz and blues 78s in his father's record collection. Initially it was all about guitarists such as Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Leadbelly. However once he heard the sounds of boogie woogie giants Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, his desire to play was all he could think of. At the age of 14 when he went to Manchester's Junior School of Art, he had access to a piano for the first time and he began to learn the basics of this exciting music. He also found time to continue learning the guitar and a couple of years later, the harmonica, inspired by Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter.

  • The Fire Dwindles Concerning the Culture Of
    65 Chapter IV: Caesura – The Fire Dwindles Concerning the culture of black political activism, the 1940s began quite well. Josh White had begun to circuit-ride the North with songs from the chain gang tradition. Concerts and plays were performed in New York on the topic of Southern black poverty. Café Society headlined many black artists and housed a number of active CP members in support of black equality. These existing establishments of the protest tradition influenced white song writers like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie to perform from the canon of songs folk collectors had accrued over the prior fifteen years.1 Sterling Brown, who had helped Alan Lomax organize the Freedom concert commemorating the 75th anniversary of the 13th Amendment, began writing and speaking about the importance of the black folk song in the identity and progress of black Americans.2 Barbara Savage writes of how the effort of African Americans in the Second World War was provided conditionally by black leaders if the federal government would combat racism, which resulted in federally sponsored radio programs of black song like Freedom’s People.3 However, this progress would not last long; it would eventually be halted by reactionary politicians and the splintering of Afro-American solidarity. Alan Lomax began a novel radio show in 1940, called Back Where I Come From, touting traditional music framed by thematic commentary in between.4 Josh White was an interpreter for Leadbelly on the show, following up all of his comments with a more understandable brand of English. Thus, White became the more accessible folk singer that may have been seen more on the level of the listeners.
