The Folk Music that Powered Change
Since the era of recorded music began with the first Edison wax cylinders, music has continued to shape its times and alter culture. Much of the world was never the same after those first mass-produced phonographs' windup-springs powered leather belts, and sounds emanated from attached curved-funnel horn bells.It was a true revolution that multiplied the dimensions of everyday life. Enjoyment of music was no longer dependent on someone being there with an instrument they could play. Beyond enjoyment came meaning. Being moved by a stunningly adept performance on a violin (or fiddle), or a guitar or mandolin or banjo -- or by an entire brass band or symphony orchestra became an experience one could experience at home, without recruiting a jam session for the porch. The arrival of recorded music at the turn of the 20th century was a great democratizer across cultures, no less than Guttenberg's invention of moveable type had been, when it enabled books and newspapers to reach the masses in the 1500's. Recorded music -- without regard to what it was -- became the first-ever virtual experience. It brought a world that previously could only be imagined.
Early recorded sound was big on hymns and church music, on chamber ensembles, and the traditional songs and tunes that comprised the American songbook at the end of the 19th century. Before anyone imagined applying terms like Bluegrass or Americana or Country to music, Americans spun cylinders of "The Arkansas Traveler," "Suwanee River," "Yankee Doodle," of Civil War songs like "Tenting Tonight (on the old camp ground)," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "The Battle Hymn of the Republic,," "Eating Goober Peas," and "Dixie." Popular minstrel tunes of the time -- some we would find irreconcilably racist -- were among the available recordings. And many people in rural areas had their only experience of classical music -- Bach, Mozart, Beethoven's Fifth, the Ode to Joy -- in those early recordings.
Today we live with the unresolvable contradiction that nothing has the power to inspire us as music can, but we assert that in a throwaway culture whose economics depend on rapid disposition of everything from gadgets to fashion to relationships to digital devices that hold digital music created by virtual instruments with roboticized human voices.
Still, we can't let go of the knowledge that music can be eminently meaningful.
Despite the invasions and intrusions of A.I., of cars with speakers that vibrate everything else on the road; of elevator music / canned soundtracks in stores and malls; of TV commercials with excruciatingly annoying pseudo-music soundtracks interspersed with mangy bird puppets and pharmacological Wierdwordia nobody can afford; and countless other discordant and atonal annoyances, we know, deep down, that music can change the world.
That brings us to a time when it did. There is a storied volume in the Folk-Americana catalog that lent purpose, gave strength and resolve. It rallied and gave resolve to the voices of the oppressed. And yes, it even brought solace and comfort when some of its singers were felled by violence and fire hoses and beatings and church bombings and bus burnings and lynchings and billyclubs and bullets.
Some of its anthems are resurrected from time to time. Whether because the need still exists or because someone imagines we can keep memories in the cultural consciousness. Or impart understanding or renew hope by voicing "We Shall Overcome" or one of its musical companions. Indeed, in this time of book banning -- including award-winning children's books about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, and struggles from the time of slavery -- the need to put the music to work once again is clear.
Meanwhile, an effort appears quite far along to sanitize -- some say to "make palatable," or "to Disneyfy," the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In our time, we are quite likely to hear "We Shall Overcome" used to narrate a view of Dr. King that is devoid of his essential radicalism. It is inaccurate to see him as a gentle spokesman for equal rights. It isn't reasonable to see him as "A warrior for peace."
Nope. He was a warrior for justice who was committed to nonviolence. He took the fight to the most dangerous places because that's where it needed to be. He openly opposed the war in Vietnam, even though that cost him potential allies. He did not compromise, because he lived in an unjust society unable to right its wrongs because of a hundred years of post-Civil War compromise that placated a white apartheid class who had lost that war, but demanded to rule by right of their race.
It is not easy for us, in our time, to comprehend the universality of inequities, humiliations, separations and insults that the Civil Rights Movement sought to rectify.
For some -- but not those steeped in Folk-Americana -- rap anthems, wallowing in grievance and insufferable negativity, have taken the place of the anthems of equal opportunity and social justice. But the two genres are as different as embracing the love of humanity vs the desire to bring retribution.
Certainly, we can believe that Dr. King would have continued to promote the former and decried the latter. Still, it is not difficult to see the nature of angry rap as a response to the assassination of Dr. King and ongoing efforts to undo the gains of the Civil Rights era.
And so it is up to us -- as those living in this present time -- to assign some kind of meaning to the past. That is never easy. In Alabama and Mississippi, Monday's federal MLK Day of Service doubles as "Robert E. Lee Day," honoring the military commander of the defeated Confederacy. Nothing is too incredible to be true. Which is a good reminder that we must always be watchful. Just as we must be to keep from being gerrymandered out of equitable representation, and to bring about a society where the rich must pay their fair share of taxes like the rest of us.
When music exists of a momentous time, we have that music as a cultural armature to enable our efforts at understanding. The music can inform courageous acts and keep them in our cultural memory.
Such iconic music can make real the fabric of a shockingly painful past. It has the power not just of the past, but again in our time to help us see resuscitated evils.
Clearly there is racist intent rising in some quarters, today, to revert to those times of second-class citizenship for some of our fellow Americans. To be sure, new anthems are needed to refute bigotry's remanufactured, imagined justifications. And the best of those powerful new songs will take their place alongside the most meaningful songs in all of Folk-Americana -- the songs of justice and brotherhood that still challenge America to live up to its promise. To our shared promise.

The best feature on the Music of Civil Rights -- by Dan Rather
We share with you this powerful piece by Dan Rather. Dan covered the assassination of President Kennedy as a reporter in Dallas on November 22, 1963. He went on, as a CBS newsman, to cover, on the scenes, all the significant events of the Civil Rights era. The words of the songs sung by the marchers have resonated in him ever since, as you can tell by reading his piece.
Music Of A Movement
A Reason to Smile
DAN RATHER AND ELLIOT KIRSCHNER
January 14, 2023
The civil rights movement was driven by marches and sit-ins, lawyering and politicking, speeches and legislation. But it was also fueled by music — songs of oppression and hope, resilience and survival.
This weekend, as we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we felt it would be fitting to honor the power of that music. These are melodies and lyrics that stirred the soul of a nation, referencing the ugliness of its history to suggest a new path of greater empathy and justice. Nearly 60 years later, we are reminded that this journey remains one very much in progress.
In honor of Dr. King, let us start at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (the full name of the event deserves its due). Right before Dr. King delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech, the crowd was treated to another performance for the ages, by his favorite gospel singer, the peerless Mahalia Jackson. She sang a pair of hymns, including the one we are posting here: “I've Been Buked and I've Been Scorned.”
Listen to the music and the power of her voice. And look at the faces of that crowd, all ages and races, standing in rapt attention.
* Music video (historic Civil Rights) link
"I've Been Buked and I've Been Scorned" -- Mahalia Jackson, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
Jackson is also credited for inspiring what came next. As Dr. King was reading from his prepared text that day, she yelled out to him, "Tell them about the dream, Martin! Tell them about the dream!" He apparently looked at her, slid his notes off to the side, and began to speak extemporaneously. The rest, as they say, is history.
To capture this special bond between singer and preacher, we found this clip of Jackson and Dr. King at a church in Chicago. She launches into a rendition of “Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho”; the look on his face is priceless.
* Music video (historic Civil Rights) link:

Finally, no song is more closely identified with the civil rights movement than the iconic “We Shall Overcome.” There are too many great versions to count, so here we share (not for the first time) one of our favorites. It is courtesy of the Morehouse College Glee Club.
Part of the power of this performance lies in the strength of the voices and the arrangement for a capella. But it also moves us to see new generations channel the struggles and victories of the past in order to build a brighter future.
As our nation continues to wrestle with its injustices and inequalities, and with the goal of a more perfect union remaining illusive, these powerful songs resonate once more. They are a testimony that progress is possible. And in that may we find a reason to smile.

Musical musing from the Muck -- performance vids included
The Muckenthaler Cultural Center is an Orange County institution in both the physical and philosophical realms. Their concert series and live-music-themed festivals have received coverage in The Guide through the long-ago heydays of our crowded coverage of events.
Now, given our love of historical and cultural preservation -- from traditional music and its context to vanishing architecture, steamboats, sailing ships, steam locomotives and the great gleaming stainless-steel "streamliner" passenger trains -- we declare what follows as a must-share.
Thus, we present a piece on two very different piano icons of American music, written by Farrell Hirsch, "The Muck's" CEO. Enjoy.
Mr. Hirsch begins,
"Representing all that is good about pianos we... [had] Dr. Monica Lee, the head of the department at Fullerton College, who... [Was here] to accept the James A. Young Arts Education Legacy Award from the Muck.
"You should really... [know about this] for two reasons.
"First — because the program exists to honor those special individuals who have spent a career enriching YOUR community. They've given a life to you, give them back one night.
"Second — because Monica Lee is a lovely, talented, dedicated, cherished, brilliant professor, player, and pedagogist. Here she is is giving her Ted Talk."
Mr. Hirsch continues,
"Representing the other side, the not so nice side of the piano, is Jerry Lee Lewis.
"He shared an instrument and an overlapping name, but nothing else with Dr Lee.
"There were very few indications during his life that he was a "nice" man. Take, for instance, this small passage, presented without edit, from his New York Times obituary:
" 'Reporters discovered that the young girl traveling with him, Myra Gale Brown, was his 13-year-old bride—and his cousin—and that Mr. Lewis had still been married to his second wife when he recited the vows for his third marriage.
" 'Asked by reporters if 13 wasn’t a little young to be married, Ms. Lewis said: 'Oh, no, not at all. Age doesn’t matter back home. You can marry at 10 if you can find a husband.'
" 'His fourth wife, Jaren Pate, drowned in a friend’s swimming pool in 1982. His fifth wife, Shawn Michelle Stephens, died after taking an overdose of methadone in 1983.
" 'In 1985, after doctors removed half his stomach to correct a bleeding ulcer, Mr. Lewis slowly began to settle down.
" 'His marriage to Kerrie McCarver ended in divorce in 2004.
" 'He is survived by his wife, Judith Coghlan Lewis.'
"Safe to say that he wasn't put on this earth to lead a moral crusade. His purpose and his gift was this."
-- Farrell Hirsch, CEO, Muckenthaler Cultural Center

A unique road trip: the ghost of Yosemite's "Fire Fall"
For decades, visitors oohed and ahhed at a decidedly un-natural phenomenon produced nightly in Yosemite National Park. The spectacle even had its own song. It was the coordinated shoving of tons of burning pinecones off the granite rim of Glacier Point, mimicking one of Yosemite's famous waterfalls, but in glowing embers.
The spectacle ended in the late 1960's, never to return, as the National Park Service reiterated ethics of its original mission.
But it turns out nature produces its own fire fall in Yosemite -- for a few days every winter, IF the setting sun is not obstructed by clouds, AND the water is falling.
The phenomena at Horsetail Fall has become its own cause celeb, prompting the Park to enact "February 2023 Reservation Requirements."
It seems a lot of people have figured out that "Horsetail Fall can glow orange when it's backlit by sunset, which can make it appear to be on fire," as the Park's website says. It continues, "This unique lighting effect happens only on evenings with a clear sky when the waterfall is flowing and when the sun is at the right angle in mid– to late February. This event attracts many visitors to a small area, causing traffic congestion, parking issues, safety concerns, and impacts to natural and cultural resources."
In order to manage this event, reservations are required for entry to Yosemite on:
February 10–12, 2023
February 17–19, 2023
February 24–26, 2023
But if you can go midweek between any of those weekend dates, you can just pay the entry fee and position yourself for nature's show. Or any of nature's many other wonders there.

COVID -- is it over?
Sadly, no. But it's complicated. It is entering its fourth year. We'll sort tjings out for you, and offer a better picture of where things are, relative to concerts, festivals, and events.
The latest numbers show US cases are down, a bit, but...
Worldwide, there is a 41% increase in deaths, though cases have decreased.
The US average is now 18 cases per 10000 per day. US covid deaths are up 78%. There are 60,863 cases per day, and smaller rural communities report higher numbers. But wastewater tests tell the story best, because home tests, being unreported, are not included in case numbers. Those numbers are slowly dropping, overall.
But it is a rapidly changing picture with new variants
US cases of the BA.5 variant were 95%of total COVID cases in October, but is now down to just single-digits of the total, 1.5% overall. Of course it varies by state. The Carolinas, New Jersey, and Mississippi have the largest numbers of daily average cases:
State: daily avg cases: Per 100,000:
RI 336 32
NC 3232 31
SC 1562 30
NJ 2653 30
MS 825 28
US 60863 18
Source: N.Y. TIMES
New variants continue to arise, finding fertile ground for mutation in the unvaccinated. The general trend is that each new variant is more infectious, and more resistant to vaccines and boosters as the mutations take the virus farther and farther from what the vaccines and boosters were designed to stop.
Hospitalization numbers are rising.
The rate of transmission and high rates of spread of these newest variants are alarming epidemiologists and hospitals.
Today, there are 43,307 covid patients in America's hospitals, equating to 13 hospitalized cases per 100,000 population. Here again, raw numbers in specific places are very different from numbers per 100,000 of population -- but the raw numbers show just how far hospitals are again being pressed beyond limits.
North Carolina has 2,570 hospitalized COVID patients with a rate of 2,570/100k.
New York has 3,953 hospitalized COVID patients with a rate of 20/100k.
Covid mutation patterns display rapid genetic shift. Early on, fears centered on WA1, the original Wuhan strain, then to D614G and GD-Pangolin. In recent weeks, the chief variants of concern have ranged from BA.1/BA.1.1, to BA.2, BQ.1, BQ.1.1, BA.4, BA.4, BA.5, to the current juggernauts, XBB/XBB.1.
The XBB/XBB.1 variants are especially alarming because they appear to be resistant to innate immunity from prior covid infection.
It's important to view these numbers in the context of US "Excess Deaths," from pneumonia, flu and covid. Numbers from the National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System (as of Jan 12, 2023) show a rapidly climbing red line of deaths per week (over 10,000) that is far above the line defined as an "Epidemic Threshold" (about 5,700 deaths) AND much higher than that above the "Seasonal Baseline" (about 5,600 deaths) for pneumonic illnesses and flu outbreaks.
Incredibly, other numbers have not changed in months. 68% of Americans are Fully Vaccinated, but only 34% of Americans have received any kind of covid booster in addition to their basic vaccination. 80% have received only one dose of the two-dose vaccine, but that is thought to provide little or no benefit after several months. The gold standard is still the Bivalent Booster which anyone can get now. But, its efficacy against XBB/XBB.1 is suspect.
Those in long-term care facilities are essentially the only Americans still getting vaccinated.
Now, let's look at death rates of the vaccinated vs those refusing vaccination. A recent report compares 537,000 vaccinated people who did NOT receive the Bivalent Booster with 85,000 individuals who DID receive the Bivalent Booster. The rates of protection vs show a FIVE-fold reduction in hospitalization and a SEVEN-fold reduction in deaths for those receiving the Bivalent shot.
Antivaxxers are abuzz over a study that shows an increase in strokes within 21 days of receiving a vaccine injection. That study gas not been peer-reviewed, and numerous other studies contradict it.
A very large study looked at death from all causes, by age group, comparing all causes against COVID deaths AND deaths of vaccinated individuals. The numbers of deaths among those who were vaccinated is (a) insignificant in absolute terms, and (b) insignificant when compared to life-altering and disabling effects of Long COVID.
There IS a political dimension, too. Far more Republicans have died, and continue to die, from COVID than Democrats. What will likely balance that to a more equal ratio is the overall amount of screenings and routine tests and health care during the pandemic.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, Chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical School reports, "We are seeing far more late-term cancers because the cases were not caught in screenings earlier."
Dr. Gold co-hosts the best show on TV for the latest COVID information. It airs live on RFD-TV every Monday, 3-4 pm Pacific time, and welcomes live viewer call-in. All the statistical data cited in this article was presented by Dr. Gold on the January 16th, 2023 edition.
So, is the pandemic over, or, uhh, "over enough" to resume concert-going, and buying passes and campground spots for spring music festivals?
For OUR part, we still mask-up to go in stores. We have chosen to avoid airports (the planes have HEPA filters once their APU jet engine is powered-up, but NOT when at the gate!)
We say, pay attention to the SCIENCE and responsible medical advice.
SO, as things Now stand, we plan to:
• GO
• masked-up
• taking a pocket bottle of hand sanitizer
• washing hands frequently
• being mindful of things randomly touched by who-knows-how-many people, like door handles, restaurant table condiments, gas pump handles and windshield squeegees, drink dispenser levers, ATM buttons...
• and keep your boosters current!

"When Earth Breathed Deeply" -- Earth's climate has not been constant throughout history. Oxygen levels in the atmosphere, for example, have increased by many orders of magnitude over time, profoundly affecting biologic and chemical cycles at the surface of the earth.These changes in Earth's climate can be traced through the imprints left behind inside the planet. This lecture will explore how such shifts in atmospheric oxygen concentrations altered Earth's inner workings. Presented by Claire E.
