THERE'S A VERY COOL NON-MUSIC EVENT TODAY, so it's in here, right up-top. Otherwise, this is an updated excerpt from our last and quite massive events edition. So grab the triox and take a deep dive, or for the vinylly inclined, take a spin, or you'll wish you had, after it's too late.

SATURDAY'S SPECIAL NON-MUSIC EVENT
The treasures of the S.S. Central America were so vast and rich that the entire U.S. economy went into a depression because the ship sank. The wreck lay undiscovered and undisturbed where it was sent to the bottom in a hurricane, a hundred miles off North Carolina. The ship had taken over 200 people with her to a watery grave -- but unlike "Titanic," there was never regard for the wreck being a place that could not be violated for treasure hunting.
And treasure hunting reached proportions that exceeded any Clive Cussler novel or Hollywood script. The guy who tapped the rich for money to grab the riches disappeared with what he could steal, and he remains a fugitive. But so much was still down there.
All those missing riches were in the darkness on the bottom of the ocean for nearly 160 years.
All you raiders of the lost shipwreck will remember our coverage of the excellent "Titanic" exhibition while it was at the Reagan Library. This isn't as extensive, but... just what's here, in this unique display of glittering gold, will make your eyes bulge. AND, this is a see-it-now-or-never-see-it proposition. Because all those rich investors want their payback with an outrageous profit margin.
The treasures were recovered in 2014 from the sea floor, more than a mile underwater, and had to undergo cleaning by conservators. Today in Long Beach, they are being displayed for sale to all the other ultra-rich. But we mere mortals can see them, too. But, this is the only time anyone can see all this together in one place before it's scattered into the vaults of the world, after the rich hoarders get it all:
Seriously, the sinking of the S.S. Central America didn't JUST cause an economic depression on the eve of the Civil War. It spread so much financial and governmental panic, and so much of the fear-based thinking that enables any war, that it loss of the greatest treasure ship in American history helped to CAUSE the Civil War.
And, with all that wealth from the California Gold Rush lying at the bottom of the sea, it elevated the importance of SILVER from the deep, steaming-hot mines of Virginia City, Nevada's Comstock Lode. (Which wasn't at all like "Bonanza.") Amidst the new (replacement) excitement, Nevada would become "The Silver State" and fly a state flag proclaiming "Battle Born," because it supplied the SILVER that would bring Union victory in the Civil War.
Had the S.S. Central America not sank, history would have been altogether different.
The recovered treasures from the shipwreck are at the Long Beach Expo (Long Beach Convention Center), as the centerpiece of a massive numismatics and coin show. You can ride the Metro Blue Line light rail to the end loop, and it's a short walk down Pine Avenue in downtown Long Beach.
The event closes SATURDAY at 5 pm, BUT THE S.S. CENTRAL AMERICA exhibit CLOSES AT 3 PM as items go to auction. We learned the last fact after we published. It's eight bucks to get in. More info (but not the full info) is at:

-
Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad
Went down to Chestertown and they just said goodbye
Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad
Once proud and shiny, now she’s dusty and dry
-
Chorus:
Nobody rides
Can’t you hear that soulful whistlin’ in the wind
Nobody rides
Jumped the rails and roared away round the bend
Nobody rides
Say a prayer for every soul along the line
Nobody rides
On the train that made this great land of mine
-
Nobody gonna dance to the music
Don’t call the union hall it’s boarded up tight
Nobody gonna’ dance to the music
Nobody gonna’ dance to the music tonight
-
(Chorus)
-
Hold on dear old dad of mine
Worked his fingers down to the bone
Hold on mama don’t you cry
I’d take you with me, if I knew where to go
(Repeat)
-
Nobody gonna’ walk on the water
Just sold my Bible for a good piece of bread
Nobody gonna’ walk on the water
Big train stole away and left us for dead
-
(Chorus)
-
Nobody rides
Nobody rides
Nobody rides on the train that made this great land of mine
-
Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad
Went down to Chestertown and they just said goodbye
Nobody gonna’ ride on the railroad
Once proud and shiny, now she’s dusty and dry…..

* Winner of the prestigious "Will Rogers Award" for "Best Western Group" from the Academy of Western Artists, these guys one of the absolute best in the Western musioc genre.
* Each member of this trio is renowned and accomplished, so let's talk about that:
* MICHAEL FLEMING was raised at the foot of the Colorado Rockies. There, he developed a profound love for the West and its people, and that has compelled him to create music celebrating its culture. He has been described by reviewers as “a creative and perceptive songwriter” whose work is “among the most innovative in Western Music.” Mike writes most of the original material for NEW WEST and won the "Academy of Western Artists" (AWA) 1997 "Will Rogers Award" for "Best Western Swing Song" for his composition, "Sometimes this Old Cowboy Gets the Blues." That same year, he won the "Western Music Association" "Song of the Year" honors. Plus, he won the 1998 AWA "Best Song" with co-writer LES BUFFHAM, for "Below the Kinney Rim."
* RAUL REYNOSO's incredible instrumental and vocal talent has made him one of California's most sought-after musicians and performers. Raul has played at the GRAND OLD OPRY and recorded an LP with LARRY McNEELY titled "Power Play." He is a two-time "Western Regional Flatpicking Champion" who has been nominated three times for best instrumentalist honors by the Western Music Association. For ten years he was the lead member of the THUNDER MOUNTAIN BOYS and THE RHYTHM BROTHERS at Disneyland. He is most noted for his expertise on acoustic guitar and mandolin with a mastery of styles ranging from bluegrass and western swing to '30s jazz in the tradition of the legendary Django Reinhardt. Raul has his own CD, entitled “Royal Street.”
* DAVID JACKSON, bass player extraordinaire, is much in demand as a studio musician and voice-over artist. He is known for his infectious enthusiasm and humor and has wowed audiences across the country with his prowess and versatility on bass, piano and accordion. In 1996 Dave was honored by the "California Country Music Association" as "Best Instrumentalist." He has played and sung with luminaries such as KENNY ROGERS, HOYT AXTON, CHER, JACKSON BROWNE, DWIGHT YOAKUM, and many more. His true love is music and poetry about the West. He brings abundant experience and heart to this sweet singin' trio. And he's funny, so listen for his little asides and quips.
* Tix, $20.

* He says he "will be performing selections from all 32" of his CDs, and that he "has created new monologues, as well as bringing the requested favorites" with him. That'll be a trick, in a two-hour show.
* James Lee's solo guitar orchestrations, coupled with his supple voice and remarkably quick wit, do guarantee an evening full of entertainment. And he says, "joy, pathos, melancholy, birth control and insight." Uhh, okay.
* That makes more sense when you learn that he refers to himself as the “perpetual peregrinator and the purveyor of persiflage.”
* That said, he does present a fine show.

♪ The ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE endeavors to bring you NEWS — and views of interest to artists everywhere — more specifically to musicians and the creative community and music makers and fans of acoustic and Folk-Americana music. That includes both traditional and innovative forms. From the deepest roots to today’s acoustic renaissance, that’s our beat. We provide a wealth of resources, including a HUGE catalog of acoustic-friendly venues (now undergoing a major update), and inside info on FESTIVALS and select performances in Southern California in venues from the monumentally large to the intimately small and cozy. We cover workshops, conferences, and other events for artists and folks in the music industry, and all kinds o’ things in the world of acoustic and Americana and accessible classical music. From washtub bass to musical spoons to oboe to viola to banjo to squeezebox, from Djangostyle to new-fangled-old-time string band music, from sweet Cajun fiddle to bluegrass and pre-bluegrass Appalachian mountain music to all the swamp water roots of the blues and the bright lights of where the music is headed now.
