Topeka Board of Education, which said that separate but equal inherently isn't equal, and one of my favorites, Loving v. Virginia. This aptly titled ruling finally overturned laws against interracial marriage, and low points like the notorious Dredd Scott decision, which said that no Black person could be a citizen or sue someone in court. It's not just the Supreme Court. As above, so below and that trickles all the way down to the USPTO. My name's Moxie… Real quick before we get stuck in: what is a patent? A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a set period of time. Not to be confused with trademark or copyright, which you can hear more about in the episode Copy-wrong, link in the show notes. Do you *need a patent to sell an invention? No, but you need one if you want to be the only one to sell your invention. A patent can't actually stop other people before they steal your idea, as anyone whose had to deal with cheap foreign knockoffs knows. (That happened to a fellow who designed these amazing motion-sensing LED eyelashes I bought back in my burlesque days; the Chinese knockoffs hit Amazon before his Kickstarter had even finished.) What the patent does is gives you ammo to go to court for legal remedy… if going to court is fiscally feasible and for most people it's not. Patents are a form of property, a thing you can own. When you live in a place were certain people, specifically those from Africa and their descendants kept in bondage in the US, are barred from *having property, that means no patents for enslaved people. A 19th century law specified that patent applicants had to sign a Patent Oath that, among other things, attested to their country of citizenship. When the Dredd Scott decision effectively denied Black Americans any citizenship at all, that meant an automatic dismissal of patent applications by slaves. Nonetheless, Black inventors persisted and were often successful at the patent office despite staggering legal impediments. As a well known example, George Washington Carver was born a slave but was still issued three patents in his lifetime, a number that is but a shadow of his inventive genius. The first known patent to a Black inventor was issued to Thomas Jennings in 1821 for a dry cleaning method. And the first known patent to a Black woman inventor was issued to Martha Jones in 1868 for an improved corn husker and sheller. Well, she might be the first, she might not be; more on that later and by later I mean next week, because my research exceeded my grasp again. Despite being removed from their homes, intentionally mixed with people from other regions with whom they had no common language, denied an education or even the right to educate themselves, and of course all the outright abuse and atrocities, the enslaved people of America were no less clever than their white counterparts and no less driven to improve their lives. More so, likely. When a white man invented a new farming tool, it was saving his tired back. When a black slave invented a new and improved tool, he was saving his family. The new idea could save him from lashings, spare his wife working herself to death, save the limbs of his children from the machines of the time. And of course making yourself more valuable to the person who dictates your fate doesn't hurt. You'll notice a certain pattern to the stories today, not that that means the stories need telling any less. And there are always individual details, though most of them will make you face-palm so hard you'll get a cyst. That's a real thing that happened to my sister back in like 1990 when you made fun of someone else's intelligence with a dramatic slap to your own forehead. And my husband thinks I'm the critical one. There are face-palmy stories like a man named Ned, who invented the cotton scraper. The man who kept Ned in bondage, Oscar Stuart, tried to patent Ned's invention, but was denied because he couldn't prove he was the inventor, because he wasn't. Stuart went as far as to write to the Secretary of Interior in 1858, asserting that “the master is the owner of the fruits of the labor of the slave, both manual and intellectual.” Enslaved people weren't actually barred from getting a patent…until later that year, when it was codified that enslaved Blacks were barred from applying for patents, as were the plantation owners. Undeterred by his lack of patent, Stuart began manufacturing the cotton scraper and reportedly used this testimonial from a fellow plantation owner, and this is the bit where you might do yourself a minor battery: “I am glad to know that your implement is the invention of a Negro slave — thus giving the lie to the abolition cry that slavery dwarfs the mind of the Negro. When did a free Negro ever invent anything?” Oy vey. Free Blacks invented *tons of things. For further reading, look up Granville T Woods, often called “the black Edison,” Woods was a self-taught engineer who received over 50 patents, which is over 50 more than most of us have, but he was clearly able to get patents, so he's outside our focus today. We're looking at people like Benjamin Bradley, born a slave around 1830 as a slave in Maryland. Unusually, and illegally, he was able to read and write. While being made to work in a print shop as a teenager, Bradley began working with some scrap materials, modeling a small ship. He quickly built his skills until he'd graduated from model ships to building a working steam engine from a piece of a gun-barrel and some random handy junk. You can't not be impressed by that and the people around Bradley suitably were. He was placed in a new job, this time at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland as a classroom assistant in the science department. He helped to set up and conduct experiments, working with chemical gases. The faculty were also impressed with Bradley in his understanding of the subject matter and also with his preparedness in readying the experiments. Praise is nice, but a paycheck is even nicer. Bradley was given a salary but he still “belonged” to a white man, who took most of his money; Bradley was allowed to keep about $5.00 a month, or about $180 today. Despite having a pretty good set-up at Annapolis, Bradley had not forgotten his steam engine. He'd sold an early prototype to a student and used that and the money he'd been able to squirrel away from his pay to build a larger model. He worked his way up to an engine large enough that his engine became the first to propel a steam-powered warship, he was with Navy types after all, at 16 knots, which is about 18 mi/29km. Because Benjamin Bradley was a slave, he was unable to secure a patent for his engine. His master did, however, allow him to sell the engine and he used that money to purchase his freedom. So if you have an idea you really believe in, stick with it. Another Benjamin with a penchant for tinkering was Benjamin Montgomery, born in 1819 in Loudon County, Virginia. A *lot of these stories start in my home state. He was sold to Joseph E. Davis of Mississippi planter, the older brother of Jefferson Davis, future President of the Confederate States of America. Joseph must have been more liberal than Jefferson, because he recognized Montgomery's intelligence and tasked him to run the general store on the Davis Bend plantation. Montgomery, who'd been taught to read and write by Davis' children, excelled at retail management and Davis promoted Montgomery to overseeing the entirety of his purchasing and shipping operations. Montgomery also learned a number of other difficult tasks, including land surveying, flood control, drafting, and mechanics. The golden spike wouldn't be driven in the transcontinental railroad until four years after the end of the civil war, so that meant that natural waterways were still the best and most important way to get widgets, kajiggers, and doodads from A to B. This wasn't as as simple as those of us of the interstate highway system epoch might imagine. Nature, in her beauty, is inconsistent and varying and variable depths of rivers made them difficult to navigate. Heavy spring rains could cause sand bars to shift and, boom, now the boat is stuck and your cargo is delayed. They lacked the benefit of the comparatively tiny backhoe that tried to dig the Ever Given out of the Suez canal. Montgomery set out to address that problem – he was in shipping & receiving after all – and created a propellor that could cut into the water at different angles. With it, boats could easily and reliably navigate through shallow water. Joseph Davis attempted to patent the device in 1858, but the patent was denied, not because Davis wasn't the inventor, but because Montgomery, as a slave, was not a citizen of the United States, and thus could not apply for a patent. If this were a YT video, I'd use that clip from Naked Gun of a whole stadium of people slapping their foreheads. You can actually listen to the podcast on YT, btw. Later, both Joseph *and Jefferson Davis attempted to patent the device in their names but were denied again. Ironically and surprisingly, when Jefferson Davis later assumed the Presidency of the Confederacy, he signed into law the legislation that would allow a slaves to receive patent protection for their inventions. It's like the opposite of a silver lining and honestly a bad place for an ad-break, but here we are. MIDROLL After the civil war and the emancipation proclamation, when Montgomery, no longer a slave, he filed his own patent application… but was once again rejected. Joseph Davis sold his plantation as well as other properties to Montgomery and his son Isaiah on a long-term loan in the amount of $300,000.00. That's a big chunk of change if that's in today dollars, but back then? Benjamin and Isaiah wanted to use the property to establish a community of freed slaves, but natural disasters decimated their crops, leaving them unable to pay off the loan. The Davis Bend property reverted back to the Davis family and Benjamin died the following year. Undeterred, Isaiah took up his father's dream and later purchased 840 acres of land where he and other former slaves founded the town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi in 1887, with Isaiah as its first mayor. My research didn't indicate why the free Montgomery's application was refused, but oe assumes racism. The new language of patent law was written to be color-blind, but it's humans reading the applications, so some black inventors hid their race by doing things like using initals instead of their name if their name “sounded black.” Others “used their white partners as proxies,” writes Brian L. Frye, a professor at the University of Kentucky's College of Law, in his article Invention of a Slave. This makes it difficult to know how many African-Americans were actually involved in early patents. Though free black Americans like Jennings were able to patent their inventions, in practice obtaining a patent was difficult and expensive, and defending your patent? Fuggedaboutit. “If the legal system was biased against black inventors, they wouldn't have been able to defend their patents,” says Petra Moser, a professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business. “Also, you need capital to defend your patent, and black inventors generally had less access to capital.” If an issue were raised, credibility would automatically go to the white man. It's impossible to know how many inventions between the 1790 establishment of the patent office and the 1865 end of the Civil war were stolen from slaves. For one thing, in 1836, all the patents were being kept in Washington's Blodget's Hotel temporarily while a new facility was being built, when a fire broke out, which is bad. There was a fire station next door, which is good, but it was winter and the firefighters' leather hoses had cracked in the cold, which is bad. They tried to do a bucket brigade, but it wasn't enough, and all 10k patents and 7,000 related patent models were lost. These are called X-patents not only because they'd been lost but because, before the fire, patents weren't numbered, just their name and issue date, like a library without the Dewey decimal system. They were able to replace some patents by asking inventors for their copy, after which they were numbered for sure. As of 2004, about 2,800 of the X-patents have been recovered. The first patent issued to a black inventor was not one of them. That patent belonged to one Thomas Jennings, and you owe him a big ol' thank you card if you've ever spilled food on your favorite fancy formalwear and had it *not been irrevocably ruined. Jennings invented a process called ‘dry scouring,' a forerunner of modern dry cleaning. He patented the process in 1821, to wit he is widely believed to be the first black person in America to receive a patent, but it can't really be proved or disproved on account of the fire. Whether he was first or not, Jennings was only able to do this because he was born free in New York City. According to The Inventive Spirit of African-Americans by Patricia Carter Sluby, Jennings started out as an apprentice to a prominent New York tailor before opening his own clothing shop in Lower Manhattan, a large and successful concern. He secured a patent for his “dry scouring” method of removing dirt and grease from clothing in 1821, or as the New York Gazette reported it, a method of “Dry Scouring Clothes, and Woolen Fabrics in general, so that they keep their original shape, and have the polish and appearance of new.” I'll take eight! What was this revolutionary new method? No freaking clue. Because fire. But we do know Jennings kept his patent letter, signed by then Secretary of State and future president John Quincy Adams, in a gold frame over his bed. And that Jennings put much of his earnings from the invention towards the fight for abolition, funding a number of charities and legal aid societies, the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, and Freedom's Journal, the first black-owned newspaper in America. Dry-scouring put all of his children through school and they became successful in their careers and prominent in the abolition movement. His daughter Elizabeth, a schoolteacher, rose to national attention in 1854 when she boarded a whites-only horse-drawn streetcar in New York and refused to get off, like Rosa Parks 101 years before Rosa Parks, except she fought bodily the effort of the conductor to throw her off, hanging on to the window frame. A letter she wrote about the incident was published in several abolitionist papers, and her father hired a lawyer to fight the streetcar company. Amazingly, they won – again this was before the civil war, let alone civil rights. The judge ruled that it was unlawful to eject black people from public transportation so long as they were “sober, well behaved, and free from disease.” Their lawyer was a young Chester A. Arthur, who would later be the 21st president. [segue] review Henry Boyd's story began like the others we've heard, but in Kentucky in 1802. He was apprenticed out to a cabinet maker, where he displayed a tremendous talent for carpentry. So proficient and hard-working was Boyd that he was allowed to take on other work of his own, a side hustle as we say these days, and earn his own money and Boyd eventually made enough to buy his freedom at age 18. At 24-years-old, a nearly-penniless Boyd moved to Cincinnati. Ohio *was a free state, but Cincinnati sat too close to slave state of Kentucky to be a welcoming city for blacks, and I'm sure a few Cincinnatians would say it's too close to KY for their liking nowadays too. Our skilled carpenter Boyd couldn't find anyone willing to hire him. One shop had considered hiring him, but all the white employees threatened to quit, so no joy there. Boyd finally found work on the riverfront, with the African Americans and Irish immigrants working as stevedores and laborers; Boyd himself was a janitor in a store. One day, when a white carpenter showed up too drunk to work, Boyd built a counter for the storekeeper. This impressed his boss so much that he contracted him for other construction projects. Through word of mouth, Boyd's talent began to bring him some of the respect he deserved and a good amount of work. He diligently saved up to buy his brother and a sister out of bondage too and purchase his own woodshop. Not just a corner garage space; his workshop grew to spread across four buildings. This was where came up with his next big idea - a bedframe. Wait, it's interesting, I promise. Everybody needs a bed and a bed needs a frame. The Boyd Bedstead was a sturdier, better designed bedframe that was an immediate success…that he couldn't a patent for. But a white cabinetmaker named George Porter did. It is not known if Boyd was working with Porter and Porter was his white face for the patent office or if Porter ripped Boyd off. Either way, the Boyd bedstead became extremely popular, with prominent citizens and hotels clamoring to get them. The H. Boyd Company name was stamped on each one to set them apart from the knockoffs that such success inevitably breeds. Not only was his bedstead breaking new ground, but his shop of up to 50 employees was racially integrated. This social advance was, politely put, not popular. The factory was the target of arsonists and was burnt to the ground. Twice. Twice Boyd rebuilt, but after a third fire, no insurance company would cover him and in 1862 the doors closed for good. But don't worry about Boyd. He'd saved enough to live out his retirement comfortably, but he wasn't lounging around. Boyd had been active in the Underground Railroad and housed runaway slaves in a secret room. His home was welcoming to the needy as well. Henry Boyd passed away at the age of 83 and was laid to rest in an unmarked grave in Spring Grove Cemetery. While you may not be able to find Boyd's grave, you can easily find original Boy bedsteads fetching high prices in antique stores and auctions. And that's…You might have noticed today's episode was a bit of a sausage party so it's a good thing we'll pick up again next week with the stories, triumphs and tribulations of female inventors of color. The world has so many fascinating facts in it and I am just a humble weekly half-hour podcaster, so see you next week for part two.

We frequently hear about a growing economic polarization in the United States. Although it's hard to know exactly how wealth is distributed, because it's not always easy to measure accurately, the commonly held belief is that, currently, 1% of the wealthiest people in the country have 40% of the wealth. In an ideal world, we'd all be as rich as Jeff Bezos. But we know that's just a fantasy and unless there's some sort of revolution, we're always going to have wealthy and less wealthy members of our society. Which brings me to this question. Have you ever been to Tipitina's? The Maple Leaf? Jazz Fest? Or Mardi Gras? I'm sure you've noticed that at all of these places it's hard to tell who's wealthy and who's not. Although there are vast differences between socioeconomic groups in New Orleans, we have these unique, regular meeting grounds where our differences are left behind. There's a kind of unwritten Law of Human Respect in New Orleans. We understand that wealth and privilege are not always earned, and are not always distributed fairly. And we understand that some of the poorest among us enrich us all with the greatest art. It's in this uniquely New Orleans spirit that I want to introduce you to my lunch guests today. Chuck Morse is the Executive Director of Thrive New Orleans. Thrive is a nonprofit organization that focuses on four programs. “Thrive Housing & Development” provides affordable housing. “Launch NOLA” provides small business training. “Thrive Works” is a job training program that incorporates the Restoration Thrift Store on St Claude Avenue. And “Thrive 9th Ward,” known as “T9,” is a community center. Johnny Liss is co-founder of JAM-NOLA. JAM NOLA is a 5,400 square feet, twelve-room self-described “cultural funhouse” in the Bywater. It's somewhere between an immersive art experience, an overwhelming, explosive dose of visual New Orleans and Instagram Heaven - with an accompanying soundtrack compiled by George Porter and Tank from Tank and the Bangas. You may have heard the term, “Bread and Circuses.” It was originally coined as a derogatory description of society - meant to suggest that most people are so focused on their own mundane lives all they care about is survival or distraction. In New Orleans, we've elevated the bread and circus mentality to a coveted way of life. We refer to it here as keeping our priorities in perspective. Chuck and Johnny represent the two sides of the New Orleans coin, the bread and circus. We all need balance. We need to eat and keep a roof over our heads. And we need to go out and have fun. Thrive New Orleans and JAM NOLA provide the opportunity for both of these poles of our New Orleans existence. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom.

That Millwall Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 11, 2020 61:05

11th November 2020 - Armistice Day - marks 102 years since the end of the First World War.In remembrance of those Millwall players and Fans who gave their all in both the First and Second World Wars, Micky And Neil recall some of those heroes who gave their today for our tomorrow.John 'Ginger' WilliamsJohn, or Jack as he was commonly known, was born in Buckley, North Wales - the same place as future Lion Johnny Lyons - in 1885, and was Millwall's most prominent loss in the Great War.He began his senior career with Atherton Church Street, Lancashire, in around 1906, before signing for Accrington in October the following year. Jack's stay there lasted less than a year when a move to Birmingham beckoned before a transfer back to Stanley, as they became known, occured in February 1909.However, his return to Lancashire lasted a mere four months before Crystal Palace secured his signature in June. Jack's form at Palace over the next couple of seasons brought him to the attention of the Welsh selectors. He was rewarded with two appearances in 1912, against Scotland where he replaced Ted Vizard of Bolton, and was Billy Meredith's deputy for the match with Ireland. Observers described 'Ginger' as plucky, fearless and clever, while another concluded that he was full of fire and his shooting was generally on target.It was Ginger's excellent performances against The Lions that probably persuaded the club to sign him for their biggest-ever fee at the time. He enlisted in the Footballer's Battalion in November 1915, only to be killed in action the following June.Joe DinesProbably the most illustrious of Lions casulties at the front, Joe was an amateur for the whole of his career and assisted the club throughout the First World War when available.Joe found fame as a member of Great Britain's Olympic winning side of 1912 and, on top of this accolade, he also won 24 amateur caps for England from 1910-1914 inclusive. His one Football League appearance came for Liverpool against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in September 1912.A teacher by profession, Joe originally came from Kings Lynn and, when his job brought him to London, he became a member of Ilford FC.Joe was commissioned as 2nd Lt in the King's (Liverpool) Regiment and was killed on 27th September 1918, less than two weeks after playing his last game for The Lions.----------------------Some other men with Millwall connections lost at the front were David Glen, whose sole Southern League game came in a 1-0 home defeat to Croydon Common in September 1909. Davie, a sergeant in the Royal Scots, was killed in action at Arras, nine days after his 36th birthday in 1917.George Porter, from Bow, served as a Lance Corporal with Somerset Light Infantry. Like Dines, Porter remained an amateur player. He made two Southern League appearances for Millwall, but it was in a reserve team game at Highbury that George suffered a broken leg. He had only come into the team because Jack Williams was indisposed and how ironic was it that both the selected player and then his replacement were to lose their lives in the ensuing war. George did, however, have the consolation of a return to England before drawing his last breath.Fred Griffiths, a giant goalkeeper standing at 6'2" tall and weighing 15 stone, was another Welsh international who also gained two caps. His sheer physical presence must have worried the life out of any onrushing forward who was brave enough to challenge him, and in one season with Millwall made 34 appearances. Fred later became a coalminer in Derbyshire and, following the declaration of war, would enlist in the Sherwood Foresters. At the relatively senior age of 44, he was to lose his life 1917.Another Lion added to the number killed in action was Charles Green, of whom nothing is known, other than that he was a Londoner and performed at right-back. He, along with Williams, Dines and Porter, are remembered on a memorial plaque, which is in the possession of Millwall to this day.While we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, Millwall did have many combatants who returned the country safe and sound. One surviving casualty, however, was Johnny Borthwick; so traumatic were his wounds he was forced the hang up his boots as a result.John, like Green, was a member of the 17th Battalion Middlesex Regiment (1st Footballers), as were locally born outside-right Teddy Bassett, Joe Orme, who kept goal, winger Fred Whittaker, full-back Joe Kirkwood and half-back John Nuttall, most of whom got to play for the Battalion when they were not fighting.A future player and manager of The Lions belonging to the same outfit was Jack Cock, who, at one stage, was reported as killed in action. Eventually he came through unscathed with a Military Medal to his name.Another recipient of the same gong was Arthur 'Nippy' Wileman, who served as Sergeant with the Royal Sussex Regiment, but was to lose his life in the spring of 1918.A post WWI team-mate of Jack was another free-scoring performer named Bob Parker, who served with the Northumberland Fusiliers.Welsh international Wally Davis was another prolific goal-scorer who, while playing for Bedfordshire Regiment, sustained such a serious injury it forced his retirement from the game.Two of Millwall's finest full-back pairings, Jack Fort and Dick Hill, served with gallantry in the 5th Dragoon Guards and the Grenadier Guards respectively. The two others to see service with Royal Artillery were goalkeeper Joe Lansdale and the highly-decorated Billy 'Banger' Voisey.In World War Two, Millwall, like many other clubs, saw their players enlist or call up to serve their conuntry. But the loss of just two players, outside-right Freddie Fisher and Harry Salmon, who left Millwall in 1936, hardly lessened the blow. Fred was a pocket dynamo standing at 5'5" and was signed for £1,600 from Chesterfield. Before his tragic death as a tail-end, Charlie, with RAFVR, won an unofficial cap against Wales in 1941.Harry, who came to The Den as an inside-forward from Stoke City in 1934, and whose excellent passing was matched by his prodigous heading, was switched to centre-half when regular Frank Hancock was injured. Both Fred and Harry were to die within four days of each other in July 1944, Harry at Caen whilst serving as sergeant with Royal Warwickshire Regiment.We will remember them.17th Service (Football) Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. Cricket and rugby competitions stopped almost immediately after the outbreak of the First World War. However, the Football League continued with the 1914-15 season. Most football players were professionals and were tied to clubs through one-year renewable contracts. Players could only join the armed forces if the clubs agreed to cancel their contracts.On 12th December 1914 William Joynson Hicks established the 17th Service (Football) Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. This became known as the Football Battalion. According to Frederick Wall, the secretary of the Football Association, the England international centre-half, Frank Buckley, was the first person to join the Football Battalion. At first, because of the problems with contracts, only amateur players like Vivian Woodward, and Evelyn Lintott were able to sign-up.As Frank Buckley had previous experience in the British Army he was given the rank of Lieutenant. He eventually was promoted to the rank of Major. Within a few weeks the 17th Battalion had its full complement of 600 men. However, few of these men were footballers. Most of the recruits were local men who wanted to be in the same battalion as their football heroes. For example, a large number who joined were supporters of Chelsea and Queen's Park Rangers who wanted to serve with Vivian Woodward and Evelyn Lintott.According to Ian Nannestad of Soccer History: "The organisers hoped to enlist a full battalion of 1,350 men apparently from the ranks of both amateur and professional players and staunch supporters of senior clubs... Recruitment at the time was principally aimed at unmarried men, of whom there were estimated to be around 600 amongst the ranks of professional footballers. A significant proportion of these were based in the north of England, although the battalion announced it would only recruit men from clubs south of the River Trent. Initial interest was high, with 4-500 present at the meeting, but of these only 35 enlisted on the day, and by the end of the year The Sportsman recorded just 34 additional names."(Source 4) Recruitment Poster (December, 1914)By March 1915, it was reported that 122 professional footballers had joined the battalion. This included the whole of the Clapton Orient (later renamed Leyton Orient) first team. Three of them were later killed on the Western Front. At the end of the year Walter Tull who had played for Tottenham Hotspur, Northampton Town and Glasgow Rangers joined the battalion. Major Frank Buckley soon recognised Tull's leadership qualities and he was quickly promoted to the rank of sergeant.Three members of the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee visited Upton Park and made an appeal for volunteers during half-time. Joe Webster, the West Ham United goalkeeper, was one of those who joined the Football Battalion as a result of this appeal.On 15th January 1916, the Football Battalion reached the front-line. During a two-week period in the trenches four members of the Football Battalion were killed and 33 were wounded. This included Vivian Woodward who was hit in the leg with a hand grenade. The injury to his right thigh was so serious that he was sent back to England to recover. Woodward did not return to the Western Front until August 1916.The Football Battalion had taken heavy casualties during the Somme offensive in July. This included the death of England international footballer, Evelyn Lintott. The battle was still going on when Woodward arrived but the fighting was less intense. However, on 18th September a German attack involving poison gas killed 14 members of the battalion.Major Frank Buckley was also seriously injured during this offensive when metal shrapnel had hit him in the chest and had punctured his lungs. George Pyke, who played for Newcastle United, later wrote: "A stretcher party was passing the trench at the time. They asked if we had a passenger to go back. They took Major Buckley but he seemed so badly hit, you would not think he would last out as far as the Casulalty Clearing Station." Buckley was sent to a military hospital in Kent and after operating on him, surgeons were able to remove the shrapnel from his body. However, his lungs were badly damaged and was never able to play football again.Members of the Hearts team in France in 1916.Walter Tull also took part in the major Somme offensive. Tull survived this experience but in December 1916 he developed trench fever and was sent home to England to recover. Tull had impressed his senior officers and recommended that he should be considered for further promotion. When he recovered from his illness, instead of being sent back to France, he went to the officer training school at Gailes in Scotland. Despite military regulations forbidding "any negro or person of colour" being an officer, Tull received his commission in May, 1917. Lieutenant Tull was sent to the Italian front. This was an historic occasion because Tull was the first ever black officer in the British Army. He led his men at the Battle of Piave and was mentioned in dispatches for his "gallantry and coolness" under fire.In January 1917 Major Frank Buckley was back on the Western Front. The Football Battalion attacked German positions at Argenvillers. Buckley was "mentioned in dispatches" as a result of the bravery he showed during the hand-to-hand fighting that took place during the offensive. The Germans used poison gas during this battle and Buckley's already damaged lungs were unable to cope and he was sent back home to recuperate.Walter Tull stayed in Italy until 1918 when he was transferred to France to take part in the attempt to break through the German lines on the Western Front. On 25th March, 1918, 2nd Lieutenant Tull was ordered to lead his men on an attack on the German trenches at Favreuil. Soon after entering No Mans Land Tull was hit by a German bullet. Tull was such a popular officer that several of his men made valiant efforts under heavy fire from German machine-guns to bring him back to the British trenches. These efforts were in vain as Tull had died soon after being hit. Tull's body was never found.Major Frank Buckley kept a record of what happened to the men under his command. He later wrote that by the mid-1930s over 500 of the battalion's original 600 men were dead, having either been killed in action or dying from wounds suffered during the fighting.Above Text taken fromhttps://spartacus-educational.com/FWWfootballBN.htmPRIVATE Thomas P Mahoney Service Number: 2436 Regiment: London Regiment 22nd Bn.

On this episode, Brian and Dave take on the Bathtub Gin from the 11/7/96. A jam that was ahead of its time, and is still one of the most memorable of all time. It was a week after their Remain in Light cover, and you can just start to hear the 1997 sound creeping in. As always, you'll hear about new music and music inspired by the sound of this jam. Osirecs: FeelFree! I want to give a shout out to a band that I've been listening to for 10 years, FeelFree.

“I’m not necessarily just trying to play music, I’m using music to imitate life,” says the ever-soulful and spiritual saxophonist Clarence Johnson III. “Guys like Wayne Shorter, they’ll go in the backyard and listen to the hummingbirds because everything around you is music. That holistic philosophy and thought is not just how I play music, it’s how I live my life.”A native of New Orleans, Johnson, 43, hit this city’s modern jazz scene as a teenager impressing listeners with his already individualistic sound. Actually, by that time, Johnson had been blowing sax for quite a while, beginning on alto in grade school, adding tenor while performing in the marching, concert and stage bands at Brother Martin High School and later taking up the soprano while attending Loyola University.It’s somewhat surprising to learn that Johnson was a drum major during his senior year in high school and also that he found holding that position to be significant in his development.“The main thing was that it gave me an opportunity to be a leader and be responsible for a large percentage of my peers’ musical product,” Johnson explains. “That kind of paved the way for me to lead my own bands and be a leader in other areas such as in big bands and musical productions.”In recent years, much of Johnson’s time has been spent in classrooms resulting in him having to put performing and recording on the back burner. His last album as leader was 2013’s Watch Him Work, which he released on his own label, Like Father, Like Son Records. Johnson, who can blow in any number of genres, steered into the smooth jazz realm for this outing, though in his capable hands, he put an edge on smooth and pushed its boundaries with his signature saxophone pops. Johnson says he didn’t necessarily plan to go in that direction. “The way the material came inspired me so that’s the way it came out,” he explains. “That’s the creative process.”Beyond leading his own groups, Johnson has worked/recorded with a range of artists including bassist George Porter, pianist/vocalist Davell Crawford, pianists David Torkanowsky and Henry Butler, pianist/singer Bruce Hornsby, drummer Ricky Sebastian and more. He never stylistically restricted himself and eagerly blew imaginative lines on material including hard bop, avant-garde, straight-ahead jazz, spirituals, swing and rhythm and blues. Though the genres changed, the intuitive saxophonist could always be counted on to bring his inherent spirituality to the music.“I remember hanging out and having a discussion with [saxophonist] Alvin ‘Red’ Tyler and then two days later I’m sitting at the [Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong] Summer Jazz Camp with Kidd Jordan. I just soaked all of it up and took it and ran with it.”“I think the most important thing is to be yourself,” Johnson continues.“I can’t go and be another John Coltrane because there was already a John Coltrane. I can’t be another Branford Marsalis, there’s already a Branford Marsalis and Branford is doing Branford much better than anybody else can.”Since Johnson’s appearance as a member of pianist/vocalist Ray Charles’ band in the outstanding biopic Ray, he still gets recognized. “It has a lot of mileage,” he adds, calling his involvement “a beautiful experience.”“I’m a firm believer that this gift comes from Him,” Johnson, a man of deep faith, humbly acknowledges of his talents and success.

When musicians speak one-on-one to George Porter, Jr., they often share that he's a role model of theirs, he's their inspiration for playing the bass or the drums, or even for choosing to play funky music in the first place. George is polite. He smiles and says "thank you very much." But inside he's wondering what they're talking about and wishing they'd sit back down at their instrument and get to work. There's music left to be discovered and to play. His success, he says, comes from giving 100% each time he's performing. And having performed with Flea, John "Papa" Gros, Allen Toussaint, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, David Byrne, and Tori Amos to name a few, he's, perhaps surprisingly, a nice and humble guy. I catch up with him after a long night in his home studio preparing some recordings for a New Orleans Jazz Fest release.

He has, in fact, not only is he a founding member of The world famous “Original” Meter’s but played just about every type of music there is on the side of some of the biggest names in the music industry as well as having as exception solo career as a vocalist, guitarist, and bassist in his own right. To say he is still in demand is to put it mildly. At 63 years young, George’s schedule performing with his four, mind you that’s four, primary bands, his “Solo” shows and all of the gigs he still performs with various other bands and artists would leave a younger bassist with his head spinning. He has recorded on to many albums to count with other great artists. Busy? Yes – In Demand? Yes – Exceptionally Talented? A Resounding Yes – Someone You Need To See and Hear? Without A Doubt – On The Tour Bus? He is In The House!.

George has gone on to work with a stellar list of artists including David Byrne, Tori Amos, and John Scofield, as well as all-star groups the 7 Walkers, Voice of the Wetlands, and his own Runnin' Pardners. He survived the 75-76 Rolling Stones. The Troubled Men should be a piece of cake. Topics include early voting, hate stuttering, a birthday speedball, an MRI nightmare, a clean checkup, a new record, early influences, guitar lessons, a new route, Poppi Francis, a frat house training ground, New Orleans music, Meters orthodoxy, touring the US, Route 66, the Ivanhoe, the Nightcap, a record deal, the New Barbarians, a hospital wakeup, a cocaine green light, a French audience, sampling, publishing irregularities, a breakup, production credits, Allen's passing, a Superdome nightmare, Johnny Vidacovich, shake dancers, the Trio, Eric Traub, live tapes, A Taste of New Orleans, David and Walter Lastie, and much more.

The colorful drummer, composer, and arranger switches styles as easily as he changes crop-tops. His two new albums under the Context Killer and Diamond Kinkade monikers add live-looping avant funk and ambient piano and synth soundscapes to the straight-ahead jazz and funk he's been known for. Simon has always liked to stretch the boundaries of musical forms and identity. If things get kinky, that's fine with him. After his visit with the Troubled Men, he should feel more emboldened than ever. Topics include weight gain, letting go, the inauguration, a Lil Wayne pardon, DNA evidence, Jen Psaki, an inoculation monologue, new music, a chronofile, a close call, high school, Bobby Campo, Frank Williams, a first record, the drums, Johnny Vidacovich, a symphonic family, David Torkanowsky, George Porter, John Bonham, musical nutrients, critical thinking, ego, Lyrics Born, DJ Logic, Nels Cline, favorite countries, a Joan Rivers haunting, Sandra Bernhard, perception, a noise set, Eno, Phil Spector, and much more.
