Podcasts about alleys

With better weather comes more time outside, which in Chicago means more time in the alley.  Back in March, we listed 1,000 things we love about Chicago, and something that repeatedly appeared on the list was the great Chicago alley. Historian Shermann “Dilla” Thomas is here to discuss the importance of the Chicago alley and why we have the most extensive network in the country.

A few weeks before his death in November 1966, Mississippi John Hurt's rendition of “Payday” was released as the opening track on his Today album for Vanguard Records.At the time, many fans believed the 74-year-old bluesman wrote the song, despite his introduction in which he characterized it as “an old tune… a ‘bandit tune.'” And we now know that a quarter of a century earlier, folklorist John Lomax recorded a version of “Payday” by lesser-known blues artists Willie Ford and Lucious Curtis in Natchez, Mississippi.Still, it is the John Hurt version that has become loved among syncopated fingerpicking guitarists; to this day his take on “Payday” is taught in classes and on YouTube videos.The John Hurt Odyssey: Part IThe Today album, hitting record stores in October 1966, marked the end of a remarkable three years for the venerable blues artist, who was born the son of freed slaves around 1892 in Teoc, Mississippi. John Smith Hurt grew up in the Mississippi Delta, living in Avalon, which sits midway between Greenwood and Holcomb just west of Highway 51.He left school at age 10 to be a farm hand and was taught guitar by a local songster and family friend. Hurt lived most of his life without electricity, did hard labor of all sorts and played music as a hobby at local dances. In the late 1920s, performing with local fiddler Willie Narmour, he won a competition and a chance to record with Okeh Records in two sessions, one in Memphis and another in New York City. John Hurt: Part IIThe resulting records were not a great commercial success — John went back to farming and raising a family that would grow to 14 children — but a quarter of a century later, his music entered the folk music canon. That's when two of those 1928 tracks were included in the holy grail of American music, Harry Smith's 1952 Anthology of American Folk Music, considered one of the main catalysts for the folk and blues revival of the 1960s and ‘70s. A decade later, in 1962, the presence of those old cuts — “Frankie” and “Spike Driver Blues” — on in the Smith anthology prompted musicologist Dick Spottswood and his friend, Tom Hoskins, to track Hurt down. Hoskins persuaded him to perform several songs for his tape recorder to make sure he was the genuine article. Quickly convinced — in fact, folkies found Hurt even more proficient than he had been in his younger Okeh recording days — Hoskins encouraged him to move to Washington, D.C., to perform for a broader audience.For the last three years of his life, Hurt performed extensively at colleges, concert halls and coffeehouses, appearing on television shows ranging from “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson to Pete Seeger's “Rainbow Quest” on public TV. Much of Hurt's repertoire also was recorded for the Library of Congress, and his final tunes, recorded in 1964 and released two years later, are on Today.He also developed a delightful friendship with a young folksinger named Patrick Sky who produced that final album for Vanguard, where “Payday” is the opening track.Deeper Roots of “Payday”By the way, in the brand new book, Jelly Roll Blues: Censored Songs & Hidden Histories, published last spring, author Elijah Wald finds a much longer tail on the tune, not to mention a possible connection to another Flood favorite.Wald notes that back in 1908, Missouri pianist Blind Boone published a pair of “Southern Rag” medleys that African Americans were singing in that region around the turn of the century.“Medley number one was subtitled ‘Strains from the Alleys',” Wald writes, and included the first publication of “Making Me a Pallet on the Floor.'” Wald says the medley also featured “a song that probably reaches back to slavery times and would be recorded in later years as ‘Pay Day,' ‘Reuben,' and various other names.”Our Take on the TunePurists say this doesn't sound much like Mississippi John Hurt's original, but that's pretty much by design. Once The Flood folks learn a song, they usually stop listening to the original so it is free to find its own form in the Floodisphere. That's their take on what Pete Seeger's folklorist father Charles called “the folk process.”And in this instance, “Payday” has been processing in Floodlandia for more than 20 years now, ever since its inclusion on the band's first studio album back in 2001.Here's the current state of its evolution, taken from a recent rehearsal.

"In the historic district of Bethlehem, visitors can easily immerse themselves in the maze of narrow alleys. Charming tiny houses and shops adorned with Arab-patterned carpets create a picturesque scene, complemented by colorful doors. The delightful soundscape of this area was captured around Manara Square. "Just beyond the bustling central Manger Square, a congregation of stands awaits, where vendors offer a variety of Arab pastries, clothing, and nuts. Amidst the lively atmosphere, you'll find a charming alleyway where a friendly man named Sami sells his special tea, a beloved local favourite." Recorded by Rafael Diogo.

820: The Edible Landscape Project A Garden Chat with Joan Baron.In This Garden Chat:Join Farmer Greg and Joan Baron as they explore how Joan took an often overlooked area around her property and turned it into a lush garden. She transformed the alley behind her house into a lush garden that the city, neighbors and community are raving about. Listen and find out how you can do the same.Our Special Guest:Joan Baron is an environmental artist and community activist whose passion lies in exploring and digging deep into Earth's materials to design and build gardens. She conceived the Edible Landscape Project in 2008 as a response to seeing too many desert yards growing grass with no human engagement. The Food in the Alley initiative grew out of her desire to continue studying and experimenting with growing food in Arizona. Alleys have traditionally been unattractive and undesirable spaces. Joan saw her alley as an opportunity to grow more food for people, bees, and butterflies.

I've been a devoted fan of Robert Whiting since I first read "Chrysanthemum and the Bat" in high school during the 1980s. After many critically acclaimed books, I had the opportunity to sit down with Bob to discuss his latest memoir, "Tokyo Junkie: 60 Years of Bright Lights and Back Alleys... and Baseball." In our conversation, Bob shares his firsthand insights into six decades of captivating, dangerous, bizarre, and heartfelt experiences, spanning from the first Olympics in 1964 to the current 2021 games. This is part one of a two-part podcast interview. In this episode, we delve into the "Bright Lights and Back Alleys" of Tokyo Junkie, while the second episode will cover "Baseball" and more.

Alessandro, un ragazzo avventuroso e curioso, con grandi occhiali da sole e un cappello funky, stava passeggiando tra le strade affollate di turisti e abitanti locali.En: The sun was about to set on that summer evening in the magnificent city of Rome. Alessandro, an adventurous and curious young man with big sunglasses and a funky hat, was strolling through the crowded streets filled with tourists and local residents.It: Alessandro aveva una missione, una di quelle missioni che ti riempiono il cuore di eccitazione: era alla ricerca della famosa gelateria "La Romana", raccomandata da un amico. Aveva sentito che facevano il migliore gelato della città - cremoso, dolce, delizioso. Dopotutto, chi potrebbe resistere a un po' di dolcezza in una calda giornata estiva?En: Alessandro had a mission, one of those missions that fill your heart with excitement: he was on the hunt for the famous gelato shop "La Romana", recommended by a friend. He had heard they made the best gelato in the city - creamy, sweet, delicious. After all, who could resist a bit of sweetness on a hot summer day?It: Ma Roma, come la maggior parte delle città antiche, è un labirinto di strade strette e piazze, tutte simili ma uniche, tutte affascinanti ma misteriose. E così, nella folla e tra le vie tortuose, Alessandro si perse. Vicoli, archi, fontane, tutto sembrava girare in un vortice di confusione.En: But Rome, like most ancient cities, is a maze of narrow streets and piazzas, all similar yet unique, all captivating but mysterious. And so, amidst the crowd and winding alleys, Alessandro got lost. Alleys, arches, fountains, everything seemed to spin in a whirlwind of confusion.It: Alessandro si fermò per un momento, si guardò intorno e si grattò la testa. "Dove posso essere?" si chiese. Un senso di ansia lo invase, ma decise di rimanere calmo. Dopotutto, persino perdersi in questa affascinante città sembrava un'avventura.En: Alessandro stopped for a moment, looked around, and scratched his head. "Where could I be?" he wondered. A sense of anxiety crept in, but he decided to stay calm. After all, even getting lost in this fascinating city seemed like an adventure.It: Iniziò a chiedere indicazioni alla gente del posto. Alcuni erano troppo occupati per prestare attenzione, altri non sapevano. Ma infine, una signora anziana con un sorriso gentile indicò una strada accanto a una chiesa antica e gli disse di andare dritto. Alessandro le ringraziò e riprese il suo viaggio.En: He began asking locals for directions. Some were too busy to pay attention, others didn't know. But eventually, an elderly lady with a kind smile pointed to a street next to an ancient church and told him to go straight. Alessandro thanked her and continued his journey.It: Seguì le indicazioni della signora e finalmente, dopo aver voltato un angolo, vide una piccola insegna che diceva "La Romana". Il suo cuore balzò di gioia: era finalmente arrivato!En: He followed the lady's directions and finally, after turning a corner, saw a small sign that read "La Romana". His heart leaped with joy: he had finally arrived!It: Entró nella gelateria, ammirando tutte le delizie colorate in mostra. Ordinò un grande cono di gelato alla stracciatella e affondò la lingua nel morbido e cremoso dessert. Un sorriso di soddisfazione illuminò il suo viso. La fatica del viaggio era stata ben ripagata.En: He entered the gelateria, admiring all the colorful delights on display. He ordered a large cone of stracciatella gelato and sunk his tongue into the soft and creamy dessert. A smile of satisfaction lit up his face. The journey's hardship had been well rewarded.It: Quel giorno, Alessandro imparò che a volte la strada può essere tortuosa, ma con calma e perseveranza, la destinazione può essere raggiunta. E quella che all'inizio sembrava una terribile sfortuna si trasformò in un'avventura meravigliosa in una città affascinante. E per quanto riguarda il gelato... beh, era assolutamente il migliore che avesse mai assaggiato.En: That day, Alessandro learned that sometimes the road may be winding, but with calm and perseverance, the destination can be reached. What initially seemed like a terrible misfortune turned into a wonderful adventure in a fascinating city. And as for the gelato... well, it was absolutely the best he had ever tasted.It: Quindi, la prossima volta che vi trovate a Roma, ricordate la storia di Alessandro, ispiratevi al suo spirito avventuroso e assaggiate l'incredibile gelato di "La Romana". Non ve ne pentirete!En: So, the next time you find yourself in Rome, remember Alessandro's story, be inspired by his adventurous spirit, and taste the incredible gelato from "La Romana". You won't regret it!

Today, I have friend and colleague Thomas Dougherty on the podcast. Last year Tom joined the Building Culture team as our lead Urban Designer. He studied architecture and urban design at Notre Dame and focused on inner block development and has become known as the "alley-guy" for his expertise in creating spaces in these areas. It's a great conversation focused on the centralization of capital in real estate and how that affects decision making, how we prioritize profits over people and most importantly what we can do differently to try and solve these issues. We chat about smaller scale development and the creation of smaller grained places that are essential for vibrant communities, as well as how our current infrastructure is unsustainable financially and how we will see the effects in the next few decades. We discuss infill development, local investment and rethinking the way we raise capital, and finally we dive into the potential for infill development like creating streets as spaces that can really create beautiful, wonderful places. People really can be enriching forces on our built environment and are capable of immense good and immense beauty- hope you enjoy the conversation! TAKEAWAYS - The centralization of capital in real estate development leads to decisions that prioritize maximum returns over human flourishing. - Smaller-scale development and the creation of smaller grained places are essential for building vibrant communities. - Current infrastructure is unsustainable and requires financial innovation to address its high costs. - Financing new urbanist projects is challenging due to the changing landscape of real estate finance. - Infill development offers opportunities for incremental growth and the revitalization of existing communities. - Local investment empowers individuals and strengthens communities. - Capital plays a significant role in shaping development and should be aligned with the values of creating human-scaled places. - Recognizing the potential of infill development and building streets as public spaces can create inviting and reflective environments.
