In our premiere of Season 6, we welcome Van Everette from The Scenario Radio Show review Kanye West's debut classic album The College Dropout as it turns 20. After serving in the background as a producer for many of Roc-A-Fella Records best albums through the early 2000s, the Chicago-based producer took his turn as a feature act. The album was recorded over a four year period from 1999 to 2003 and is constructed during the period of many memorable moments of his life, including his near-catastrophe car accident.For his debut effort, West produced the entire album himself and also enlisted the likes of many talented artists and musicians: Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Luda, Freeway, Consequence, GLC, Syleena Johnson, John Legend, Miri Ben-Ari, J. Ivy and the Boys Choir of Harlem. Mixing his unique production style that was dubbed "chipmunk soul", he impressed with his depth, wittiness and more than capable rhymes and flow as he talked the rap game, life, expectations, insecurities, injustices and more.The album was backed by many notable singles including the debut "Through The Wire", the R&B collabo "All Falls Down" featuring Syleena Johnson, the moving "Jesus Walks" and his first #1 Billboard single "Slow Jamz" featuring Jamie Foxx and Twista. The album was certified 4x platinum and is noted as both the launching West's legendary recording career and also a iconic album of a new movement in the new millenium.Check out Van Everette and The Scenario Radio Showhttps://www.thescenarioradioshow.com/Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Onlinewww.vaultclassicpod.comBuy Exclusive The Vault Podcast Merchandise!www.vaultclassicpod.com/storeSupport The Vault Classic Music Reviews on Buy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpodBuild Your Own Amazing Podcast Website In Less Than 5 Minutes!https://www.podpage.com/?via=ivecre8Show NotesStereogum: The College Dropout Turns 20 https://www.stereogum.com/1661202/the-college-dropout-turns-10/reviews/the-anniversary/Vibe: Kanye West's Engineer Breaks Down Kanye West's Classic -- From An Engineer's Perspectivehttps://www.vibe.com/features/editorial/kanye-west-the-college-dropout-oral-history-486239/Medium: A Love Letter to The College Dropouthttps://medium.com/@derekxu/album-review-the-college-dropout-b17714567f1eAlbumism: Kanye West's 'The College Dropout' Turns 15 | Anniversary Retrospectivehttps://albumism.com/features/kanye-west-debut-album-the-college-dropout-turns-15-anniversary-retrospectiveSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Meet Herbert Washington who is with the Phoenix Boys Choir. Herbert opens up about his childhood and how his life changed in a way he couldn't imagine being the path of his destiny and his childhood dream. Herbert's childhood wasn't ideal from a child's eyes. He never met his father or older brother. His mother had schizophrenia. At 7, he was taken out of South Phoenix by child welfare services and sent to live in foster care for several months before living with his aunt, uncle, and cousin in Tempe. It wasn't ideal yet again and his life rapidly changed yet again when he was kicked out at 14 and taken into the home of a friend's family and found his security and felt safe to be different in chasing a dream and talent with his gift of singing and performing.

CARTE BLANCHE As someone who spent a LOT of my school years standing in the choir stalls, I've always been interested in the stories coming out of the Drakensberg Boys Choir School. It's an institution in South Africa, created in 1967 and producing the highest calibre of male choristers ever since. A few of my own friends had the privilege of studying there, and all spoke of not just the joy of the wonderful music they made together, but the deep bonds of friendship that were formed between the boys. There was a lovely example shared on Carte Blanche last night as producer Liz Fish took viewers into the school to meet two young pupils from very different backgrounds, who have found a sense of sanctuary at the school.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Johnathan Lee Iverson began his career circling the globe and crisscrossing the United States, as a member of The Boys Choir of Harlem, gracing the world's most renowned stages, including the Broadway stage under the direction of the legendary Geoffrey Holder in “The Boys Choir of Harlem & Friends” at the Richard Rogers Theater. In addition to performing before world leaders and dignitaries, including United States Presidents, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Carter, as well as, Noble Peace Prize winner, Nelson Mandela, Iverson has shared the stage with such artist as Lou Rawls, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, Betty Buckley, Pete Seeger, Zubin Mehta, Perry Cuomo, Kathleen Battle, Shirley Verett, Tony Bennett, James DePriest and Lena Horne, all before the age of eighteen. A proud graduate of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art & Performing Arts and The Hartt School of the University of Hartford, Iverson took his first steps into the pages of history at only 22 years old, when he became the youngest, the first New Yorker, and the first African American Ringmaster in the near 150 year history of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.[1] Iverson's presence at The Greatest Show On Earth set box office records for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey throughout the United States. Audiences and critics alike were immediately smitten by the native New Yorker. Ebony magazine said of him: “The instant he appears out of the darkness and into the spotlight…the audience is rapt.” The San Francisco Examiner stated: “Now imagine mesmerizing the crowd with a powerful voice and the bearing of a superstar.” The Times-Picayune wrote: “Tall and self assured…he works a crowd like a three ring evangelist.” And syndicated columnist Liz Smith gushed: “I…liked six foot [five] youngest ringmaster ever, Johnathan Lee Iverson, who is commanding enough to be noticed in the melee, and he can sing.” During his legendary tenure with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Iverson was one of the busiest live entertainers in the world, performing an estimated 450 shows annually in arenas around the United States and Mexico. As the voice of The Greatest Show On Earth, Johnathan has been seen and heard via numerous media outlets including, print, broadcast and the world wide web. He is also a featured blogger for the Huffington Post, among other publications. His many accolades include being selected as one of Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People. Iverson's historical tenure with The Greatest Show On Earth is featured in numerous publications, including, “Black First: 4, 000 Ground-Breaking and Pioneering Historical Events” by Jessie Carney Smith,”African-American First” by Joan Potter, “Live Life! Be Young, Black, and Successful” by Quincy Benton, “Beat of a Different Drum: The Untold Stories of African-Americans Forging Their Own Paths in Work and Life” by Dax-Devlon Ross and “Beyond the Statistics” by Zane Massey. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enableddisabled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/enableddisabled/support

Some of the pieces contained will be known to you from the Original Soundtrack of the film, whilst others are appearing here for the first time.

Johnathan Lee Iverson has the humbling title of The Last Ringmaster.  For almost twenty years, Johnathan was the ringmaster for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, also known as The Greatest Show on Earth.  He earned the title of The Last Ringmaster because he held that role when the circus gave its last performance in 2017 before shutting down.  Johnathan says that title may have an asterisk behind it now that there are rumors that the Ringling Bros. Circus may be returning someday.   When he was just eleven years old, Johnathan joined the world-renowned Boys Choir of Harlem and was introduced to the world of music.  Beyond growing as a musician, Johnathan learned many lessons during his years with the Boys Choir of Harlem.  Those lessons included learning how to accept failure, how to utilize your specific skills and tools, how to build meaningful relationships, and how to work hard for something you really want.  All of these skills are incredibly transferrable and have been vital throughout his life, including his time as a ringmaster.  Johnathan would go on to study music at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and then the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford.  Johnathan was on track to move to Europe and become an opera singer when he happened to run into the director of the Ringling Bros. Circus one day.  They were looking for a singing ringmaster, and though he was initially skeptical of the idea of making a career out of being a ringmaster, Johnathan auditioned for the role against thirty other candidates.  Upon earning the job, Johnathan became the Ringling's first ringmaster from New York, its youngest ringmaster, and its first Black American ringmaster.  Johnathan's story and talent quickly made him famous and helped Ringling Bros. Circus break records, but his gift resonated with individual members of his audiences in ways that couldn't be measured by ticket sales or attendance numbers.   Johnathan stated that the role of a performing artist shouldn't be for yourself but should instead inspire others and push the standard of your craft higher.  Johnathan shared some of the many stories about the children whose lives he touched during his time as Ringling's ringmaster.  One child who heard his words chose to become a speaker.  Another girl who had been shy before was inspired by Johnathan through a short interaction to become a performing artist.  A mother shared that her autistic son spoke his first words at the circus and now loved their yearly trips to watch the performance.  Johnathan says that he will likely never know the extent of the people that he and the rest of his circus coworkers had an effect on, but he knows that his voice, his words, and his gift continue to make a lasting impact.   For several years, Johnathan teamed up with fellow circus performer, Paulo dos Santos, to visit schools and talk about bullying.  Paulo is a little person.  Upon meeting each other, Johnathan admits he had to reassess his personal bias about Paulo.  For example, Johnathan says that Paulo can pick him up and do squats as if Johnathan weighs nothing.  In addition to being incredibly strong physically, Paulo is strong mentally and emotionally.  As Johnathan put it, most people outgrow or can change the thing that they are bullied for, but that isn't the case for Paulo.  He uses this and what he has learned over the years to inspire kids to think twice about bullying others and to help those who are currently on the receiving end of bullying to realize that they can be strong and successful like Paulo.     One thing that Johnathan loved about the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was that it showcased the talent of such a diverse group of people.  The performers came from different countries, spoke different languages, and showcased elements of their different cultures.  This broad array of people came together to celebrate their wonderful differences but also find some commonality between them.  Many people that visit the circus get to see talents and sights that they may never experience otherwise.  Some examples of this are the talented animal actors.  Johnathan said that one thing you can really see in the shows is that the different animals are all unique and have their own personalities.     Additionally, Johnathan is the ringmaster for Omnium:  A Bold New Circus, which recently launched a virtual circus experience but hopes to launch an in-person component in the future.  Omnium aims to “broaden the tent” and features “uniquely unified, multi-talented, multi-racial, and multi-abled performers” in a celebration of diversity and inclusion.  One star of this new circus is Jen Bricker-Bauer, an aerialist who was born without legs.  During the virtual show, she shares the fact that she grew up in a household where she wasn't allowed to say she can't do something because her family knew that wasn't true.  Johnathan describes her and their fellow Omnium performers as a celebration of the “depth and breadth of the human family.”  They also aim to make circus tickets available to people that may not be able to afford them or might not be able to attend the circus for other reasons. Omnium also tries to eliminate as many accessibility barriers as possible by offering integrated American sign language interpreters, audio description of the entire show, reduced sensory seating areas, and other personalized accommodations.  Johnathan hopes this celebration of commonality and ability to come together despite differences can seep into more of our society and help make the world a better place. If you'd like to learn more about Omnium:  A Bold New Circus or watch their virtual performance, visit their website.  If you'd like to connect with Johnathan, you can contact him at his website or by the handle @lastringmaster on almost all social media platforms.   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the work of our amazing team: Audio and video editing - Abigail Giganan Complete episode summary - Paige Reiter Scheduling and correspondence - Kristen Karaliunas Social media marketing - Kate Kujawa Branding and design - Fabiana Fonseca To contact AttractionPros: attractionpros@gmail.com

Today we're talking about the sign of peace, its origins, and how it's a movement of real grace from God to and through each other, person to person, light to light as though we're human candles. It's not an empty gesture of greeting, and understanding its importance may be a key for our church to move forward in this challenging time. 1.

Marjorie's ObituaryRecorded by David Donovan on May 7th 2020.DONOVAN, Marjorie Elaine, 100, of Lebanon, peacefully passed away on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at Otterbein Springboro Senior Life Center. Born Marjorie Miller on April 1, 1920 in Cincinnati, OH to Edward E. and Louise Valentine (nee: McKee), she lived through many major events in the arc of her long life.She attended grade school in Hartwell and was a proud graduate of Walnut Hills High School, class of 1938. At Miami University she met William Donovan of Akron, Ohio and the two of them were engaged in the spring of 1942. The war intervened: William served in the army in Europe while Marjorie taught music and later served in the United States Marine Corps in 1944 and 1945. In July of 1946 she married William Otis Donovan and together they began their careers in Music Education. They each received their Masters of Music Education at Columbia University in New York, diplomas signed by then Columbia University President Dwight David Eisenhower. Marjorie was a music educator for the Lebanon City School District for 26 years until her retirement in 1988. She and her husband were founding members of Saint Patrick’s Episcopal Church in Lebanon where Marjorie served for nearly 50 years as the organist, choir director, founder and director of the Saint Patrick’s Boys Choir. Marjorie also was Chairman of the Lebanon Area Artist Series and on the Board of Directors for the Lebanon Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Marjorie and William were beloved music educators and, in the late 90’s, they were honored by the Lebanon City Schools in the re-naming of Lebanon Intermediate School to Donovan Intermediate, now known as Donovan Elementary.Marjorie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and one daughter, Katherine Ann Donovan. She is survived by her two sons David William (Carol) Donovan of Lebanon, and Daniel Dennis (Regina Flanagan) Donovan of St Paul, MN; a sister, Carlyle Otto of Bowie, MD, two nephews, George Otto and Richard (Karen) Otto; two grandchildren, Graham Douglas Donovan and Broderick Duval (Gabrielle) Donovan; two step grandchildren, Jennifer Michelle (Colt) Perry and Austin Robert (Angela) Poe; and four great grandchildren, Adrien Poe, Siena Poe, Wrangler Donovan, and Emerson Perry.Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, private services will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at 12:30 PM in Lebanon Cemetery.

Music. It carries such emotion for me and so many others. I remember thinking even at a young age that Andy 'felt' music. When all three kids would be practicing the piano, I could always tell when it was Andy's turn. He certainly wasn't the best at playing all of the correct notes, but when he played, it truly sounded like 'music' and not just notes on the piano. Once, while at a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert when Andy was 5 years old, I turned to Andy and found him weeping. When I asked what was wrong, he said, "Nothing. The Music. It's just so sad." That's why being a head chorister for the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys meant so much to him. Andy never thought that he was particularly special and tended to have quite low self esteem. In a men and boys choir though, every voice is equally important, whether it is an 80yo man or an 8yo boy. Andy gained confidence as he rose to be a leader in the choir. Scott Bosscher, the director of the choir, was and still is, a true gift to Andy and our entire family. In today's podcast, Scott and I talk about Andy, Scott's experience with death in his past and the amazing power of music in healing.  As much as Scott was a gift to Andy during his life, he may even be more of a gift to all of us after Andy's death. Little did I know, when I spoke to him in the early morning, not yet 12 hours after Andy's death, that this was not Scott's first experience with tragic, unexpected death. on July 19, 1989, Scott's older brother, Charlie, was killed when United Airlines Flight 232 crash landed in Sioux City, Iowa. He had lived great loss before and still lives with the loss of his brother every day. He had watched what Charlie's death did to his parents, and he and his wife, Jane, were there for us, standing beside us, ready to do whatever was needed. I knew that Andy's funeral would need to feature music and Scott handled everything in that regard. The men and boys choir sang, his church choir director sang, and his elementary school music teacher sang as well. If anyone would like to listen to the music, a link to the funeral is here. The aid for Scott and Jane did not stop there, however. All of Andy's memorial money went to the Grand Rapids Choir of Men and Boys. Although we planned for the money to go to the general fund, Scott and Jane set it aside to only be used for 'Andy Projects.' The first of these projects is the Andrew Larson Memorial Concert which will take place every other year. This first concert is March 25th and will feature the St. John's Men and Boys Choir from Cambridge in the UK. Although tickets are sold out, I hope to be able to post it on my website after the concert. This concert obviously means so much to my family and to Andy's choir family as we remember him, but it goes beyond that now. I recently spoke with a friend telling her that I wanted to make sure that the boys of the St. John's choir knew that this concert was for Andy, and different from the others on their US tour. This friend corrected me. "They are not just singing for Andy, either," she said. "They are singing for all our children who have died." I think, now that it even goes further. This concert is for all of our children, both living here on earth and in heaven above. Just as each voice in the choir is equally important, each of them and each of us are equally important as well.

Kanye knows how to get media attention for his last albums by acting weird and insane in a very antifragile manner. Even Nassim Taleb mentioned him! Kanye grew up in Chicago and probably experienced some stories about being poor. Connections between the album and books and concepts from books discussed. 5:04 – He was a producer and produced some famous hip hop albums. Change in how producers are considered today, compared to when Kanye produced Jay Z's Blueprint. Producer as a brand. Kanye is a "full-stack" artist, he produces and signs his own songs. 10:24 – While this album was in progress he had a car accident that injured his jaw. Appreciating rap from an outsider perspective. Interwoven comedy element in the album. Why he included a song about Christianity. Kanye's soul signature. 13:41 – 1. "Intro (Skit)". Impersonating a professor asking Kanye for a graduation speech/song for kids graduating. Sets the tone for the rest of the album. 14:33 – 2. "We Don't Care" – Kanye responding to the request. Growing up poor in the slums of Chicago. Drug dealers as ideal of prestige and claiming other people's kids on income tax. Success is living beyond 25. Sense of being a self-made singer. Fuck you for the game being rigged, but also fuck you for not playing it. 20:53 – 3. "Graduation Day". His professor is really mad and tells him he is not graduating. Kanye invited unknown artists (at the moment) to sign together some songs. 22:36 – 4. "All Falls Down" (featuring Syleena Johnson). People in college who is not upper-middle class and is unsure what they are doing. The illusion of college as a ticket to upper-middle class. Parental pressure to go to college. "It's nice to have white parents" argument. 27:41 – Consumerism. Buying stuff to come up with insecurity. Kanye and Antifragile. There's nothing bad he can do to sell less albums. Starting beefs as strategies to up rappers popularity. Black people feeling continually under surveillance by internalizing the view of society. Reference to slaves' promised land. 38:00 – Kanye's uniqueness to escape the braggadocious rap era. Saying the things everybody is thinking, but sounds impolite if said by other than comedians or rappers. 40:16 – 5. "I'll Fly Away". Gospel cover. 40:50 – 6. "Spaceship" (featuring GLC and Consequence). Experiences working, from a black person perspective. Being the token blackie of a Gap store.  Working for the mob. Chicago state of mind. Dead end feelings. 43:11 – 7. "Jesus Walks". This song was, at the time, was out of place because it talked about God. Layers of meanings. Doing the bad thing, being conscious about that, but willing to be OK with God. The need for an ideal of better life, more positive and constructive than a drug dealer. Challenging the radio stations to broadcast music outside the mainstream topics, 48:38 – #8 "Never Let Me Down" (featuring Jay-Z and J. Ivy). Poor Jay-Z verse. Civil right activists in Kanye's family. Comparing the great injustices our grandparents had to deal with, with our current inability to vote. Racism still being alive, despite all the progress made. 52:17 – #9 "Get Em High" (featuring Talib Kweli and Common). Upbeat and funny song. Building self confidence and middle fingers up. Becoming famous and hitting up girls. First solo appearances, opening Talib Kweli's shows. Name-dropping. Featuring guests as guest posting. Dancing for cash, or publishing under independent labels as a way to being antifragile from industry cycles. 59:07 – 10. "Workout Plan (Skit)". Intro skit. Girls talking about losing weight workouts. 59:18 – 11. "The New Workout Plan". 1:02:32 – 12. "Slow Jamz" (with Twista and Jamie Foxx). Bluesy soul song "for the ladies". Tribute to big soul R&B musicians. 1:05:15 – 13. "Breathe in Breathe Out" (featuring Ludacris; co-produced by Brian "All Day" Miller). Probably a filler song, or a song that ties the artistic sides of the album. The need to do gangsta rap to widen the audience and give the album a push. Parallel with breweries, that need to have at least one IPA in their portfolio. Dichotomy of doing mainstream stuff to support the artistic stuff. 1:09:04 – 14. "School Spirit (Skit 1)". How school screws you and wastes your time. Getting class after class, but not knowing anything and don't make any money. 1:11:07 – 15. "School Spirit". School hierarchy is not synced to the real world. 1:11:32 – 16. "School Spirit (Skit 1)". Funny skit. Dying broke but covered by degrees. School getting more and more expensive, and more and more useless.Sentiment that everyone should be given an opportunity to move up vs effective paths to get people out of poverty. Option to move back home and not taking loans. 1:15:05 – Why people still believe in higher education and why it is a bubble like the housing one. Schools getting paid regardless of the graduates being employment situation. The problem of online certifications. Alternative signalling mechanisms. How to demonstrate competence in any field. Entrepreneurship and Marketing can't be learnt on books. 1:23:21 – 18. "Two Words" (featuring Mos Def, Freeway and The Boys Choir of Harlem). The game is rigged. Reference to the '70-'80 crack addiction in poor communities. Different treatment for drugs used by different ethnics. Why marijuana is being legalized (as more and more is used by white or rich people). Why Hemp was ostracized by the Paper industry. 1:31:58 – 19. "Through the Wire". A song recorded while still recovering from a car accident where he could have died. Despite all the horrible things happening, he will not stop doing music. Turning a negative into a positive. 50 Cents playing up the story of being shot 9 times. Tragedy helps the triumph make possible, or at least, making a strong selling point. Eminem's case. 1:35:00 – 20. "Family Business". Coming up with a new rap style. Family gatherings. 1:36:22 – 21. "Last Call" (co-produced by Evidence; additional production by Porse). A summary of Kanye's story. Record labels would not give Kanye a chance because he was not dressing as a typical gangsta rapper. Kanye being so sure to sign with Capitol Records and being dropped at the last minute. The need of one big shitty thing before everything else goes well. 1:40:07 – Announcement.

Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “The choirs are singing from the inside out. ” - Dr. Eugene Rogers Show Notes: The “singing Conductor” is a process by which one approaches making the choral art come alive. Singing Conductors lead choirs that sing from the inside out. They are completely aware of the technical aspects of choral music, but also deeply rooted in the understanding of the work. There are 4 characteristics of the Singing Conductor: they have a heightened sensitivity to building sound they emphasize sound for sound’s sake, and also sound that is directly connected to the context of the piece they often see technical issues as opportunities for vocal warm ups they place a high emphasis on communication and expression Think about your process.

Dr. Eugene Rogers gives you permission to listen to your gut. Whether it’s a move, a job, or even a bold programming choice, you can take risks. Some of them will pay off. Some of them will leave you stranded in New York City with no job and no car. But you will grow from all of them. Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “Choral music was deeply inside of me. I had a real passion for it, no matter what.” - Dr. Eugene Rogers Show Notes: Dr. Rogers decided to dedicate his life to music during a piano lesson while he was a high school student. The idea that he could make a living as a musician took root and never wavered. He originally thought he would be a singer. But conducting had a natural ease to it that compelled him to study further. Conducting allows him to most fully express his musical vision. Working for the Boys Choir of Harlem proved to be both a wonderful and a trying experience. Intending to stay in New York until he retired, Eugene was blindsided when the organization announced that because of financial difficulties they would no longer be able to pay him. But the experience reinforced for him that his life would always be centered on music. Always listen to your gut! Even when an experience doesn’t turn out the way you expect, you can still learn from it.

Show Notes: Stay the course (Don’t go crazy) Be open to advice and criticism Perform a lot Raising the standard Record everything Hold students accountable Demonstrate vulnerability Trust each other 3 Key Takeaways: Do more of what you do best. Don’t change what you do in your program just because you were accepted to a conference. Your language matters. “That was good” after everything doesn’t raise the bar. Vulnerability is key.

Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson is the Voice of the Greatest Show on Earth. He began performing at age 11 with the world-famous Boys Choir of Harlem. For seven years, he was intensely trained in all forms of music including classical, jazz, hip hop and gospel. Johnathan experienced a string of unforgettable, inspiring moments as a member of the Boys Choir, which included being awarded the lead tenor role for the choir, singing at the intermission for Luciano Pavarotti's Concert in Central Park, performing in a live show on Broadway for two weeks and winning second place in the Lena Horne Vocal Jazz Scholarship. Johnathan graduated from the University of Hartford's Hartt School in May 1998 with a degree in voice performance, and shortly after his graduation, Johnathan was invited to begin his professional entertainment career with the 129th Edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®. Johnathan couldn’t refuse the offer and felt his prominent role in the show was an unbelievable dream come true. Johnathan toured with Ringling Bros.® all around the United States, and his charismatic charm and incredible voice caught the eye of Barbara Walters, who within a year of his first tour named him one of the ten most fascinating people in 1999. Johnathan’s historical tenure with The Greatest Show On Earth is featured in numerous publications, including: the New York Daily News, the Huffington Post,  Black First: 4,000 Ground-Breaking and Pioneering Historical Events by Jessie Carney Smith, African-American First by Joan Potter, Live Life! Be Young, Black, and Successful by Quincy Benton, and Beat of a Different Drum: The Untold Stories of African-Americans Forging Their Own Paths in Work and Life by Dax-Devlon Ross. Notes from the Show: He was a nominal fan of the Greatest Show on Earth (Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus) as a boy. His favorite act was Globe of Death/Globe of Steel He studied to be an opera singer. He planned to move to Europe to launch his opera career. He auditioned for the Fireside Dinner Theatre in Wisconsin, which was directed by the director of Ringling Bros. He loved being around the late great Gunther Gebel-Williams. He credits the Boys Choir of Harlem for his commitment to excellence. He saw Placido Domingo in Tokyo when he was with the Choir, and at 13 years old, knew he had to become an opera singer. He credits Dr. Walter J. Turnbull for so much of his success. "You have to walk boys to manhood." He went to Fiorello LaGuardia High School. Tyranny always targets artists and intellectuals. "Believe me, when you're 40 feet up in the air, about to turn a triple somersault, you could care less if your catcher is black, white, gay, straight, speaks English, whatever." "The Mongolian father has the same concerns for his kids as I do mine. The Chinese guy over there is just as romantic or he's vying for that woman's attention like I would have when I was single. We all have these same types of things. It's really fascinating. I think the arts open the gateway to our common humanity." A check for the ego: the animals are the reason people come to the circus. The circus is a singer's nightmare. His first year was vocally traumatic. Working in the circus is a "learn-on-the-job thing." Frank Sinatra was so much better after Ava Gardner. Mortality is what distinguishes his colleagues from him. The band is the hardest working band in show business. "You can't phone it in in the circus. You have to be focused." He puts Vaseline on his teeth and a lozenge under his tongue to have moisture in his mouth. "I continue to be a student of my voice." "I've never trained with an academic. Ever. I don't trust someone who's just learned it from a book. They don't know anything. People who've gone out and done it can teach it." "It's a hard life to be a performer of any kind." His wife is his boss. "I consider myself the wealthiest man in show business." Early in his career, it was all about self-promotion. But having wife and kids has changed his perspective. "How do I give?" "The noblest art is that of making others happy." - P.T. Barnum If you're a performer, be grateful.

Jason Crane interviews vibraphonist and composer Cecilia Smith. Smith's new project, Dark Triumph(CEA Music, 2005) chronicles the life of her aunt, Victoria Lancaster Smith, through spoken word, improvisation, orchestral arrangements, members of the Boys Choir of Harlem, and a jazz rhythm section. This ambitious album originated when Victoria Smith showed Cecilia Smith an 8-bar melody she'd been carrying around in her head for six decades.

In the 1600s, African-born slaves in the United States were prohibited from playing-or even possessing-musical instruments. Regardless, the plantation fields still swayed with music as Blacks sung a capella (without instruments) to the rhythms of work. Slaveowners strove to Christianize their slaves, and many Blacks sympathized with the struggle of Jesus and found comfort in the hope of heaven. Slaves were forbidden from gathering, but conducted religious services in secret. At these meetings, informal worksongs evolved into intricate songs of redemption, struggle, and Christian faith that came to be known as "spirituals." The multi-part harmonies of these spirituals set in motion a long tradition of Black choral music. In the late 19th century, Harry Burleigh-a protege of Antonin Dvorak-took the musical style to new heights with choral arrangements informed by his classical training. Modern choral music takes on many different forms, and is often accompanied by the piano, percussion, and bass.
