Thursday quickie... Acoustic Americana Music Guide, September 13, 2012

.
In addition to the THIRTEEN live music events tonight, described in the latest full edition, there's more (hey, there's ALWAYS more!)
.
First, this morning, on web radio:
+
"Pete Seeger In His Own Words" is a new book edited by Rob and Sam Rosenthal.
+
Catch an interview with them on Matt Watroba's show on Folk Alley. It's live on the web this morning at 10 am Pacific time, at www.folkalley.com
+
In the new book, we hear directly from Seeger through the widest array of sources - personal letters, notes to himself, published articles, rough drafts, stories, and poetry - creating an intimate picture of Seeger as a musician, an activist, and a family man, in his own words and from his own perspective.

FILM SCREENING AND DISCUSSION...
A late addition for tonight: our friends at the Caltech Folk Music Society tell us, "Another free film in the fine 'Conscientious Projector' series in Old Pasadena: At 7 pm, 'Locked Out,' a documentary about the labor strife in nearby Boron, out in the Mojave desert. This is a great series- see http://conscientiousprojector.wordpress.com for details."
+
It's free at the Armory Center for the Arts. After the FREE screening, stick around for the panel discussion with the filmmakers and hear about the return of intimidation of workers in America. Will you leave singing "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night" -? Well, maybe.

Not in the Guide's full edition are two music-on-TV offerings:
+
* 4:30-7 pm PAUL SIMON, JOHN FOGERTY, and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN are on "Hard Rock Calling" taped at the 2012 annual festival in London's Hyde Park. On Paladia.
* 8-9:30 pm "UNDER THE STREETLAMP" recorded in 2012 with "Jersey Boys" cast members doing "Songs of yesteryear," including "At Last" and "Pretty Woman." You get the idea. On KOCE, aka PBS SoCal, and chopped-up by pledge drive begging.
