Best friends: Faith Borkowski and Georgia Burtt play Jay Ungar’s “Ashokan Farewell” in this week’s podcast. Georgia has named her violin — made in Germany in the 1800s — Aphrodite and says it is her most prized possession. Faith’s violin originally belonged to her mother. Her father, too, is a violinist and she has enjoyed playing with him at nursing homes. The duo are Young Leaders in the Empire State Youth Orchestra and are organizing a Volunteer Music Festival that will be held on Sunday, June 13, at Altamont’s Orsini Park from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. They have partnered with the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York and will be collecting monetary and food donations for the food bank during the festival. Both of them aspire to careers as musicians and will soon be submitting performance tapes to Julliard. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Fiddler Jay Ungar wrote a melancholy tune in 1982 and titled it “Ashokan Farewell.” It reflected, he wrote, the wistful sadness he felt at the conclusion of a week-long, summer-time fiddle and dance program in the Catskill Mountains at Ashokan Field Campus of the State University of New York. “I was embarrassed by the emotions that welled up whenever I played it,” recalled Jay Ungar. It’s written in the style of a Scottish lament or Irish Air, and Ungar says he sometimes introduced it as “a Scottish lament written by a Jewish guy from the Bronx.” Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns heard a recording of Ungar’s tune and asked if he could use it as the theme for his PBS documentary series, The Civil War. In that context, the sadness in Jay Ungar’s “Ashokan Farewell” takes on a whole different meaning. The Civil War has inspired a number of other American composers, among them Roy Harris, whose Sixth Symphony—subtitled “Gettysburg”—was premiered on this date in 1944 by the Boston Symphony. It was written on commission from the Blue Network, the radio predecessor of the American Broadcasting Company. Each of the symphony’s movements is prefaced by a quotation from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

Ever since I saw her playing with The Mammals in the early 2000'sies, I have had a healthy obsession with Ruth Merenda. She is very easy to obsess over: her soaring musicianship onstage and tape as well as the amazing community she's cultivated along with her husband (and bandmate) Mike Merenda through touring and through their bi-annual music festival, The Hoot. Raised basically with a fiddle in her hand, Ruth spent her childhood surrounded by professional musicians, which included her father, the much loved Jay Ungar, who, along with his wife and bandmate, Molly Mason, is probably best known for his song "Ashokan Farewell." In 1990, Ungar's song was used as the centerpiece to Ken Burns' nine-part documentary "The Civil War" (you are hearing that lonesome fiddle in your head right now, aren't you?).Although Ruth loved singing and playing fiddle, she saw a different path for herself as an actress. She attended Bard College to study her craft and moved to New York City for a few years after that. There, she was introduced to a group of rabble rouser who loved traditional folk music, which was the music that Ruth had grown up with. What is so funny is that she never realized that other, younger people were interested in that kind of music. She stuck around that group and immersed herself in that style of playing again. Someone who made quite the impression on Ruth was a young indie rock drummer named Michael Merenda. The two started a personal and musical relationship, which eventually morphed into the Mammals. Eventually the pair moved back to Ruth's home in the Woodstock, NY area, took a break from The Mammals, got married, made duo records, had two amazing kids and started recording under The Mammals again (in just the last few years)! There is a lot of say about Ruth and a lot of questions to ask Ruth. We'll have to have her back on, because I was only able to ask about 40% of my questions. Ruth is a treasure and I'm grateful she appeared on the pod! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Whenever a shipwreck on Nantucket was mentioned by islanders in the late 19th and early 20th centuries one was always certain to be recalled - the wreck of the big, three masted schooner, T.B. Witherspoon. The details of this tragic wreck left an indelible memory, never to be forgotten by those who chanced to be on the frozen beach at Mioxes Pond on the island's southwest shores, standing by helplessly as they watched the men in the rigging of the doomed craft lose their grip in the icy shrouds and fall into the sea on that fateful day - Sunday, January 10, 1886. A note to listeners that this episode contains descriptions about loss of life that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

NOTE: This is the first in our two-part look at the outlook of the Asheville Symphony Orchestra during and after the Coronavirus pandemic. Darko Butorac is known as a musician and conductor. People didn't know him as a poet or video editor until a few weeks ago, when he produced what the orchestra called a "Musical Love Letter to Asheville." The video features a number of Asheville Symphony Orchestra musicians, from their separate homes, performing "Ashokan Farewell" by Jay Ungar. Board member Bill Gettys gives voice to Butorac's poem. "The idea behind the video was to go beyond just having a musical performance, but really being a love letter to all of Asheville," Butorac said. "Not just the classical music lovers, but to all of our community."

Today on Who's There, our weekly call-in show, we take comments about... I already forgot. Hold on let me check the doc. Oh right: Kirstie Alley's house, the Mason-Dixon line, a mom's clever use of "Ashokan Farewell," and the difference between Ellen Burstyn and Ellen Barkin. Moving on, we field questions about Tommy Dorfman (which leads us to Hanya Yanagihara somehow), Tala Alamuddin, Morgan Stewart's new relationship with Jordan Mcgraw, and... Priyanka Chopra's instantly iconic clap. (Not to be confused with "applause.") As always, call 619.WHO.THEM to leave questions, comments, and concerns. We may address them on a future episode!

This week Craig drinks the alchemist’s longevity potion and spends an eternity analyzing the classic Twilight Zone episodes “Long Live Walter Jameson” and “Queen of the Nile.” It’s a heady blend of Ken Burns-esque Civil War side trips, Nazi Germany flyovers, and ruminations on mortality.

The turning of the year is a good time to reflect on what we will say hello and goodbye to in the year ahead. It’s a time of possibility, of fresh starts. But it can also be tinged with regret, a sense of loss, and uncertainty. We’ll make space for all the thoughts and feelings as we begin our new year in community. 1 Welcome by Karen Mills 0:00 2 Prelude “In the Morning, Joy” sung by Chorealis 1:53 3 Opening Words “A New Year for Beloved Community” by Debra Haffner, read by Gordon Ritchie 5:42 4 Kindling the Chalices “The End Is the Beginning” by Katie Gelfand 7:02 5 Children/Youth Recessional “Guide You on Your Way” 8:10 6 Reading “Reluctant Goodbyes” by Kaaren Solveig Anderson, read by Elaine Reynard 8:48 7 Hymn 359 “When We Are Gathered” 13:06 8 Sharing Our Abundance, “Change for Children” 14:39 9 “All Too Soon” sung by Chorealis 16:02 10 Offering Response “From You I Receive” 20:46 11 Reading “First Comes the Waiting” by Erika A.

As part of a month-long campaign called the Purple Project for Democracy, (a strictly non-partisan, apolitical effort that a number of other large news organizations have also contributed to) we are featuring a series of conversations about an alarming loss of trust, faith and devotion by Americans for American democracy — and what to do about it. Bob is one of the Purple Project organizers. In episode four, Bob examines the media’s responsibility for instilling devotion, or at least perspective, for our democracy. A 2014 National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, showed only 23 percent of eighth graders in the United States attained “proficient” status in civics. A 2011 Newsweek survey found that 70 percent of Americans didn’t even know that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. And only 26% of those surveyed in 2017 by the University of Pennsylvania could name all three branches of government. And no wonder: with STEM curriculum and standardized testing squeezing the school day, civics has become the snow leopard of the social studies curriculum.  So if the knowledge vacuum is otherwise filled by misinformation and disinformation, and the result is a loss of faith and trust in democracy itself, who is left to intervene? Jan Schaffer — ombudsman for the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, Pulitzer Prize–winning former journalist and founder of The Institute for Interactive Journalism — talks to Bob about what responsibility the media have to become educators, and maybe even re-assurers, of last resort.

Good people seen from the bandstand, the larger picture and the song "Ashokan Farewell" grace this week's episode.

One of the unique experiences for visitors to the Ozark Folk Center is the intimate matinee performances by our guest musicians. The shows are a unique way for musicians and guests share a time and space much different than a traditional indoor performance venue. There are often Q &A sessions, jokes, stories and of course, the occasional request from an audience member that make these sets so popular. These performances take place in the backdrop of the Ozark Folk Center State Park Craft Village, a large outdoor area, home to over 20 artisans who demonstrate traditional and contemporary craftsmanship on site. Nestled in the center of the Craft Village is an old wooden covered stage. The area seats about 50 people but is always overflowing with people for the matinee sets by our guest artists. Jay Ungar and Molly Mason are veterans of the acoustic music scene on the East coast and have been performing together for well over 20 years. Jay and Molly’s performance at the Ozark Folk Center State Park highlights all aspects of their musical style and ability. Ungar was born in the Bronx, the son of immigrant Jewish parents from Eastern Europe. He frequented Greenwich Village music venues during his formative period in the 1960s. He is probably best known for "Ashokan Farewell" (1982,) originally composed as a lament, which was used as the theme tune to the Ken Burns documentary The Civil War (1990.) Molly Mason has been a regular performer on Prairie Home Companion. In 1991, Ungar married Molly Mason, whom he had first met during the 1970s. They continue to perform as a duo, with their band, Swingology, and as the Jay Ungar and Molly Mason Family Band with Jay's daughter Ruthy Ungar (her mother is Lyn Hardy) and Ruthy's husband Michael Merenda. In 1992, Ungar and Mason provided the soundtrack to the acclaimed documentary film Brother's Keeper. In 2006 they headlined the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle. Dennis Stroughmatt is a renaissance man. His passion for the Creole fiddle and French music of the Southern Illinois/Missouri region has lead him on a journey to the backwoods of Louisiana and the University of Quebec. He has nearly single handedly revitalized the original Creole music and French culture of the Illinois-Missouri region by rekindling a love and passion for the culture and song. Masters of Texas style swing, fiddle and three voice harmony, The Quebe Sisters bring it like few can. Like other family and sibling performers we’ve featured on Ozark Highlands Radio, the Quebe Sisters (Grace, Sophia, and Hulda) have formed a sound and style that is both traditional and familiar, yet all their own. Each sister an accomplished fiddle player and singer, the trio specializes in western swing tunes with their signature three part harmony. In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Shirley Greenfield singing the traditional song “Don’t Sing Love Songs, You’ll Wake My Mother,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Author, folklorist, and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events, and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and its enduring legacy of music and craft. This episode focuses on Dr. Bill McNeil, the long time archivist at the Ozark Folk Center. For thirty years, from 1975 until his untimely passing in 2005, Dr. Bill McNeil served as the Ozark Folk Center’s folklorist and all-purpose advisor on all things dealing with traditional Ozark culture. During his tenure at the Folk Center, Bill McNeil guided the establishment of the Ozark Cultural Resource Center, an archival and teaching facility on the Folk Center’s grounds. This installment examines Dr. McNeil’s interest in the evolution of folk music traditions.

Fiddler player Cary recorded in Granville Island, Vancouver BC performing Ashokan Farewell. Cary had a number of people stop and tell him how much they appreciated that he carries on traditional fiddle music. You can often find him playing and selling his CDs in the streets of Granville Island.

This haunting melody was written by Jay Ungar in 1982 and used in the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War. It is done on a Bacon Flat-top plectrum. It was written as a goodnight waltz at the annual Ashokan fiddle and dance camps held by Ungar

The band asked me to work this one up and to be honest it's a million miles away from my usual style. I tried to work it up in 'open G' tuning; then changed my mind and used 'open D' tuning, then decided I wanted a low drone so started again in 'open C' capoed up to D. It's a beautiful tune and I think i've done it justice, i'm quite proud of this one, hope y'all like it. I would like to thank my beautiful mother Colleen Cooper, for a fantastic job working the recording software and all the support whilst I was working up the tune. Thanks Mum!

One of my first attempts at multi-track recording. Playing in unison is difficult when you're listening to the other part through an earphone and don't have the body language of another partner to go by!
