WHY WE’RE ON BLOGSPOT.COM: after a long presence on MySpace, that site suddenly changed parameters to accept only short posts, now requiring a ponderous and VERY time-consuming process to list events in small increments. It’s far too time-consuming. So we began posting the calendar and news on Blogspot. We’ll see how it works, and if everyone adjusts and gives positive feedback, we’ll move, and soon.
.
JUNE CALENDAR updates frequently. View all of June as a continuous read at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com, and see EACH DAY’s listings, as separate posts, there AND at www.myspace.com/laacoustic – for the time being.
.
FUTURE EVENTS are posted into 2009. We update often to add a BUNCH of concerts, club gigs, workshops, and recurring events as announcements and dates arrive. It’s easy to find at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com. On our myspace site, reading into the future curiously requires that you use the “Older Entries” button that appears when you click “View All” – thus going “back” to the future… another myspace aberration.
.
LATEST NEWS FEATURES posted today, JUNE 28, and news always posts separately. Previous news features posted June 19; those, and recent editions, are available at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com; earlier editions, old radio playlists from “Tied to the Tracks,” and more, remain available at www.myspace.com/laacoustic, by using the “View All” button, and if you don’t see what you want, then you’ll need to journey farther back by using the “older entries” button as many times as necessary to find what you want – a quirk of myspace to see into the future as well as into the past; and you can go all the back to when “acoustic” meant natives pounding on hollow logs with rocks.

Today’s anniversaries:
~
LABOR DAY GETS CONGRESSIONAL BLESSING on this day in 1894, as the first Monday of September was recognized as a Federal “day of observance” in the District of Columbia and the Territories. Numerous states, cities and other local governments, had already recognized the idea of Labor Day, on different dates scattered through the year.
~
ASSASSINATION SPARKS WW I on this date in 1914, as Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were murdered by a Serbian nationalist on a bridge in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. Europe was a diplomatic maze of treaties and agreements, and as nations fell into place with predetermined positions, events became a runaway roller-coaster to war.
~
The TREATY OF VERSAILLES was signed on this day in 1919, formally ending WW I. At the signing, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted economic chaos because the punitive conditions imposed on Germany would not allow that nation to maintain a sustainable economy. Keynes was right, that chaos came, and with it came the Nazis, Hitler, and WW II.
~
An EARLY FILM MERGER happened this day in 1916, as Adolph Zukor’s Famous Players Film Company merged with the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company; the new company would later become Paramount Pictures.
~
LOUIS ARMSTRONG recorded “West End Blues” on this day in 1928. It would be a landmark record of the time, showcasing Satchmo’s trumpet improvisations and influencing many musicians well into the future, including Artie Shaw.
~
FIRST CORVETTE rolled off the assembly line at the Chevrolet plant in Flint, Michigan, on this day in 1953.
~
“TWILIGHT ZONE” CREATOR ROD SERLING died on this day in 1975, at the age of 50, after having open-heart surgery.
~
MAJOR EARTHQUAKES hit California on this day in 1992, first a 7.3 at Landers, in the desert, then a 6.3 at Big Bear, a few hours later.

3 pm RUTHANN FRIEDMAN live at Amoeba Music, 6400 Sunset Bl, Hollywood; 323-245-6400. “... she wrote “Windy,” but even if she was crashin’ at Crosby’s when she wrote it, her lone LP ‘Constant Companion’ epitomized the west coast darkening hippie trip, with its heavy emotional atmospheres. Friedman lived her music... while she vagabonded & sipped fully from the cup - as does her astonishing LP.” - Galactic Zoo Dossier.

8 pm ABIGAIL WASHBURN & THE SPARROW QUARTET (BELA FLECK, BEN SOLLEE & CASEY DRIESSEN) at the Troubadour, 9081 Santa Monica Bl, West Hollywood; 310-276-6168. A true Americana super band. Cellist BEN SOLEE has performed live on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks,” and recordings from the band and each of its members have been heard on the show. Recently, they performed on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” and PRI’s “The World,” they’re playing festivals all summer, including Bonnaro, Grey Fox, Calgary, Rockygrass, Vancouver, and the Austin City Limits Festival. They play only two Southern Cal shows, the Troubadour on Jun 28 and SOhO in Santa Barbara on Jun 29.
+
The Nashville Scene writes, "Besides Fleck, the Sparrow Quartet features banjo-playing singer-songwriter Abigail Washburn, fiddler Casey Driessen and cellist Ben Sollee. (For anyone counting, that’s a total of two banjos, zero guitars, a fiddle and a cello—not a bass—to anchor everything.) The group’s vibrant new album— “Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet” (Washburn’s second, not counting two with all-female string band UNCLE EARL)—is full of intricate compositions that flit from Appalachian ruggedness to R&B punch, alongside their takes on traditional Chinese and American folk songs and Washburn’s singing in English and Mandarin Chinese."
+
The New York Times says, "Although the revered banjo player Béla Fleck provides expert plucks-and-strums, Abigail Washburn, the Nashville vocalist for the Sparrow Quartet (and a member of Uncle Earl) is the outfit’s main attraction: Ms. Washburn, herself a gifted banjoist, sings with a loose, mesmerizing drawl, and her voice is textured and bright."

Artists’ info, www.sparrowquartet.com and www.abigailwashburn.com. This’ll sell-out, so get tix right away.

KENNY BLACKWELL studied with Jethro Burns before moving to California where he joined fiddler Richard Green's band in '93. DORIAN MICHAEL has played in about every style and in every type of work situation that a blue collar musician could hope. After years of honky-tonk electric guitar, followed by concentrating on solo fingerstyle guitar, this project is a whole new challenge. "The picking is crisp and clean and never hurried, with the emphasis on the melody and not the playing. Thoroughly enjoyable." - Dirty Linen. Doors at 7:30 pm. $15.

View all of June at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com, and chronological date listings, as separate posts, continue there AND at www.myspace.com/laacoustic. On myspace, use the “view all” and then, curiously enough, the “older” button to see into the future, all the way into 2009. The calendar will be moving soon, where we won’t need to post events in small increments, and we’ll let you know when and to where. Meantime, the most recent info, both events and news, lives on both the myspace and the blogspot pages.
