Thursday, August 9

 .

On this day in 1945, a four-engine B-29 aircraft with an aluminum exterior gleaming like silver in the sunshine, dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, Japan. The city was constructed mostly of wood and rice paper buildings and the blast of the bomb, being hotter than the surface of the sun, caused the entire city to burn with massive losses of life. The second of two uses of The Bomb – the first on August 6, 1945, on Hiroshima – it was this second bomb that would finally compel the Emperor of Japan to stop the warlords who controlled the government. Japan surrendered unconditionally to the United States and the Allies, with an unpublicized provision that the Emperor would remain as head of state, but not head of government.

.

It put an end to the Second World War, which had begun in irrevocable stages with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and the German and Soviet invasions of Poland in 1939.

.

Today, Germany and Japan are both thriving democracies, following reconstruction of their ruined economies and postwar constitutions based on election of leaders by their populations. Poland was finally freed of Soviet military occupation in 1993, after gaining independence again in 1989. And Germany was partitioned by the victorious Allies, and only reunited in modern times. The story of Eastern Europe, through the ethnic wars in the Balkans in the 1990s, tragically demonstrates that the idea World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945 is quite naive.

.

At least 60 million people were killed during the years of conflict of World War II, roughly 2.5% of the world’s population. Modern computer studies have raised that to an estimate of 71 to 72 million. The Soviet Union lost somewhere between 21 million and 26.6 million dead; China lost 11.3 million; Poland 6.8 million; the U.S. 500,000. Germany lost 7 million dead (8.8 million if all those drafted into the German military from all countries are counted); Germany lost 8 to 10% of its prewar population, and 19.5% of all prewar ethnic Germans died. Plus, the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews and at least 5 million additional “undesirables.”

.

Japan lost 2.6 to 3.1 million people killed, or 3.6 to 4.3% of its pre-war population. Of those, the official estimates of 90,000 to 166,000 deaths in Hiroshima and 60,000 to 80,000 in Nagasaki are regarded as conservative estimates. Many who were initially wounded or burned in the atomic blasts died later of radiation poisoning, and the above numbers, though probably low, reflect that (many sources were consulted; those wishing to research atomic deaths and illnesses should check www.atomicarchive.com).

.

The true numbers of human beings whose lives were ended in World War II will never be known. Revisionist historians have second-guessed President Truman’s decision to use the atomic bombs, and that continues to this day. It cannot be argued that the two bombs ended a war that would have claimed substantially more people dead had that war continued, especially if had seen a land invasion of Japan by Allied forces. At the same time, it cannot be argued that survivors of the two bombs suffered radiation-related maladies that were unknown to humanity before the bombs were dropped. And it cannot be argued that survivors of any war in any time – including our own – are traumatized and suffer wounds – visible and invisible – that affect them and their families for life. It’s worth a few moments to reflect on that, isn’t it?

+

Thu, Aug 9, a “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick:

8 pm Superb double-bill with 2-BIT PALOMINO and MARINA V at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N Lake Av, Altadena 91001; reservations 626-798-6236 (10 am-10 pm); venue phone 626-398-7917; info www.coffeegallery.com. (“the venue named in FolkWorks as L.A.’s best intimate acoustic listening room venue”).

+

Houston, Texas-based 2-BIT PALOMINO is an acoustic trio, awarded "Vocal Group of the Year" in 2011 by the Academy of Texas Music. it won't take you long to figure out why. Aside from their amazing harmonies, their music is emotive, melodious, thoughtful and lyrical.

+

The trio is Bill Ward on acoustic guitar, keyboards and vocals; Andi Renfree on percussion and vocals; and Peter "Ren" Renfree on acoustic guitar, mandolin, ukulele and vocals.

+

"There is nothing 2-bit about their sound. These performers already sound like they have been playing together for a long time. You know that is true when the show seems too short!" - Russell Cushman, The Navasota Current (Oct 22, 2010)

+

It started under the shade of the Cypress Pond at Mercer Arboretum in Spring, TX (just north of Houston). The date was March 4th, 2010 and what started as a songwriting venture quickly turned into a fast moving freight train of musical performance. 2-Bit Palomino was born and named after the grocery store ponies that we rode as youths, and allowed our imaginations to run wild.

+

That offers some idea of what you will find at a 2-Bit Palomino performance. Some say it’s a chance to let your imagination go to uncharted places.

+

Ward is an accomplished singer-songwriter from Florida, and his singing and playing have won him many awards at folk festivals throughout the country. Andi Renfree’s musical journey started in Austin at the tender age of 17 and has taken her all over the world. She has penned hundreds of songs, and has had over 40 cuts, including "The Buffalo Grass" (with her lyrics) recorded by the late Chris LeDoux on his "Horsepower" CD in 2003 on Capitol Records.

+

MARINA V is an L.A.-based longtime favorite of the Guide. She is a multiple award-winning recording artist with a "hauntingly beautiful" voice (L.A. Times), whose "melodic and passionate music" (The Washington Post) has been influenced by the Beatles, Tchaikovsky and Tori Amos. Born in Moscow, Marina came to America at age 15 to pursue her version of the American Dream. Since then, she has been relentlessly touring and performing all over the world and has blossomed into a truly renowned international artist.

+

MARINA has played over 600 shows worldwide, from The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood and the American Embassy in Moscow to clubs from Sydney to Paris. Marina raised $30,000 from her loyal fans to record her new album, “MY STAR.” Produced by Guy Erez (Gypsy Kings), it features guest musicians from KISS and Collective Soul.

+

Marina's songs have appeared in films, TV shows, ads and games, and she recently won an award from Sir Bob Geldof in London. Take a look and a listen at www.MarinaV.com.

Tickets are $15, a real bargain for this show.
