  • Urban Legends
    Jestice/English 1 Urban Legends An urban legend, urban myth, urban tale, or contemporary legend is a form of modern folklore consisting of stories that may or may not have been believed by their tellers to be true. As with all folklore and mythology, the designation suggests nothing about the story's veracity, but merely that it is in circulation, exhibits variation over time, and carries some significance that motivates the community in preserving and propagating it. Despite its name, an urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban area. Rather, the term is used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore in pre-industrial times. For this reason, sociologists and folklorists prefer the term contemporary legend. Urban legends are sometimes repeated in news stories and, in recent years, distributed by e-mail. People frequently allege that such tales happened to a "friend of a friend"; so often, in fact, that "friend of a friend has become a commonly used term when recounting this type of story. Some urban legends have passed through the years with only minor changes to suit regional variations. One example is the story of a woman killed by spiders nesting in her elaborate hairdo. More recent legends tend to reflect modern circumstances, like the story of people ambushed, anesthetized, and waking up minus one kidney, which was surgically removed for transplantation--"The Kidney Heist." The term “urban legend,” as used by folklorists, has appeared in print since at least 1968. Jan Harold Brunvand, professor of English at the University of Utah, introduced the term to the general public in a series of popular books published beginning in 1981.

  • Long Bio, Website 6.13
    Grey Larsen - Long Bio Grey Larsen is a versatile and accomplished musician and an author of books on Irish music. Though he has explored many musical paths since the 1970s, he now focuses mainly on three: • Irish Flute and Tin Whistle: Larsen is a highly accomplished player and an acclaimed author. Four of his new books came out in 2013. • Concert Performances with Cindy Kallet: Intimate traditional and contemporary folk music and song. • Mastering: With a specialty in acoustic-based music. Larsen was born in 1955 in New York City. His family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio the following year. Beginning piano lessons at the age of four, he enjoyed a childhood and youth full of musical exploration, his inner world filled with the keyboard music of Bach and Mozart, as well as the early rock, R&B, and Motown sounds on the radio, the songs of contemporary folk music interpreters and traditional Appalachian and Irish music. From 1970 to 1972 he studied at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music before moving on, in 1973, to continue at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Ohio. While pursuing early music and composition on the one hand, he came ever more deeply under the spell of traditional music on the other, and for several years he followed these parallel streams with equal energy and dedication. In these and later years, he spent a great deal of time (in Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio) learning traditional Irish music from elder Irish immigrant musicians, most notably Co. Galway melodeon player Michael J. Kennedy (1900–1978), Co.

  • Myths, Legends, and Folklore
    Myths, Legends, and Folklore In common parlance, a myth is a fiction -- something which is untrue. Scholars of mythology define myth differently: a myth is a special kind of story which tries to interpret some aspect of the world around us. Robert W. Brockway, in his book Myth from the Ice Age to Mickey Mouse concisely summarizes a number of different scholarly ideas about the meaning of myth as follows: A collective definition of myth composed of many theories might be framed by the following paraphrase: Myths are stories, usually, about gods and other supernatural beings (Frye). They are often stories of origins, how the world and everything in it came to be in illo tempore (Eliade). They are usually strongly structured and their meaning is only discerned by linguistic analysis (Lévi- Strauss). Sometimes they are public dreams which, like private dreams, emerge from the unconscious mind (Freud). Indeed, they often reveal the archetypes of the collective unconscious (Jung). They are symbolic and metaphorical (Cassirer). They orient people to the metaphysical dimension, explain the origins and nature of the cosmos, validate social issues, and, on the psychological plane, address themselves to the innermost depths of the psyche (Campbell). Some of them are explanatory, being prescientific attempts to interpret the natural world (Frazer). As such, they are usually functional and are the science of primitive peoples (Malinowski). Often, they are enacted in rituals (Hooke). Religious myths are sacred histories (Eliade), and distinguished from the profane (Durkheim). But, being semiotic expressions (Saussure), they are a "disease of language" (Müller). They are both individual and social in scope, but they are first and foremost stories (Kirk).

  • Hopsadaddy Anmeldelser
    HABADEKUK – HOPSADADDY REVIEWS Habadekuk spreder godt humør med sin hopsahyldest. Det er svært ikke at blive i godt humør, når man lytter til Habadekuks »Hopsadaddy«. Titlen siger sådan set det hele. Der er for det meste fart over feltet, når det ni-mands store orkester slår sig løs med polkaer, hopsaer, raske sønderhoninger og de andre - for det meste - hastige melodier fra den danske spillemandstradition. Ikke bare er Kristian Bugge som violinist en fornøjelse at lytte til – Habadekuks varemærke er den store blæsersektion, der puster en snert af salsa og jazz ind i mange af melodierne. Det tager de ikke skade af for nu at tage den på jysk. Der er næsten karnevalsstemning over orkesterets version af »Polka Hamborger, Himmerland«, som er hentet i Smed Kristians nodebog fra 1866 i Siem i Himmerland. Sådan bærer man også en spillemandstradition videre. Bandet vil i den kommende tid blandt andet være at høre på Skagen Festivalen lørdag den 2. juli. Det vil ikke gå stille af. Flensborg Avis, Ole Sørensen 25/6 2011 Partyfolk ’La Bouttine Souriante’ kom først, så kom ’Baltinget’, og nu kommer ’Habadekuk’ med deres udgave af traditionel folkemusik på traditionelle instrumenter – tilsat blæsergruppe og rytmesektion – og farvet med jazz- og rockklichéer. ’Habadekuk’ gør det godt, spændende, livligt, vedkommende, og det hele er rigtigt set af kapelmesteren og violinspillemanden Kristian Bugge. Repertoiret er helt overvejende fløden af tidens traditionelle danske melodier – udvalgt med stor omhu. Nå, men så er det altså hamrende ærgerligt, at saxofonisten har så svært ved de frie jazzede formuleringer...når nu det også er det, de vil.
