ABC:LHS #087 Even in death, some people don't rest easy. Someone always wants to dig them up and move them. Though Laurel Hill East opened in 1836, several of its 18th-century dead were buried elsewhere first. First, I trace the many reasons people exhume the dead. And there are plenty. Thomas Godfrey invented a lifesaving navigational instrument. Buried first on a Germantown farm, he was later pursued by Laurel Hill as one of its earliest celebrity corpses. Commodore Alexander Murray was as important a sailor as Isaac Hull or Stephen Decatur, but without the headline-grabbing legend. Mayor Hilary Baker served when Philadelphia was the nation's capital and crossed paths daily with the signers of the Declaration and Constitution. He died in office. Rev. William Smith deserves recognition alongside Benjamin Franklin as a cofounder of the University of Pennsylvania, yet Franklin is celebrated while Smith is largely forgotten. I had a blast making this one. I think you'll have fun listening.

In September 1777, just fourteen months after declaring independence, Philadelphia fell to the British Army. For nearly nine months, the new nation's capital was occupied territory. But what did that actually mean for the people who lived there?  Not the generals, not the Congress: ordinary Philadelphians who had to decide whether to flee or stay, share their homes with British officers, watch their fences get chopped up for firewood, and figure out which neighbors to trust when it was all over. In this episode, Aaron Sullivan, a professor of History at Rider University, George Boudreau, a public historian and Executive Director of the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion Museum in Germantown, PA, and historical interpreter Kalela Williams, now the Director of the Virginia Center for the Book, take us inside occupied Philadelphia. Together, they reveal how a city that was never fully committed to independence experienced nine months of British rule, and what the occupation cost everyone who lived through it: Quaker women negotiating with soldiers at their back gates, merchants whose fortunes rose on British hard currency while their neighbors went hungry, and Black Philadelphians who looked at the upheaval and asked whether it might open a door to freedom. Plus: the most extravagant party thrown in eighteenth-century America, staged while the city's almshouses overflowed. Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/332RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on guitarist and composer Sam Wenc.Wenc is a Philadelphia-based artist who has spent nearly a decade building one of the more distinctive bodies of work in American experimental music, mostly under the name Post Moves.Now he's released his first album under his own name. It's called Language at an Angle, and it came out on Lobby Art Editions in January. The record grew out of a year of live performances—from Philadelphia to Japan—and it captures Sam doing something specific with pedal steel guitar: striking it, bowing it, treating it as both a sound source and a physical object. The result sits somewhere between drone, jazz, and a kind of American folk music you can't quite place.Sam's here to walk us through the record, his move to Philadelphia, and what it means to finally put his own name on the work.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Sam Wenc's Language at an Angle)—Dig Deeper• Artist and Album:Visit Sam Wenc at samwenc.com and follow him on InstagramPurchase Sam Wenc's album Language at an Angle from Bandcamp or Qobuz, and listen on your streaming platform of choiceLobby Art Editions — Sam Wenc's label, releasing Language at an Angle and his previous catalog• Susan Alcorn:Susan Alcorn — official website of the pedal steel pioneer to whom Language at an Angle is dedicatedAnd I Await the Resurrection of the Pedal Steel Guitar — Alcorn's landmark 2007 solo albumSusan Alcorn: Revolutionary Voice of the Pedal Steel Guitar — The Tonearm's tribute, including a full conversation with Alcorn on her album CANTOSusan Alcorn obituary — WRTI• Collaborators:Sam Yulsman — pianist on Language at an Angle; studied with George Lewis at ColumbiaBark Culture — the Philadelphia trio of Victor Vieira-Branco (vibraphone), John Moran (bass), and Joey Sullivan (drums); members appear in Wenc's live bandVictor Vieira-Branco — vibraphonist and Bark Culture leaderBark Culture — Warm Wisdom — the trio's 2024 debut album• Venues:Roulette Intermedium — Brooklyn venue where Wenc held his album release showThe Stone — New York experimental music venue referenced in the episode• Musical References and Influences:George Lewis — composer, trombonist, and Columbia University professor; Sam Yulsman trained with himOkkyung Lee — South Korean cellist and improviser; Wenc cites Alcorn's improvisations with her as influentialMarshall Allen / Sun Ra Arkestra — Marshall Allen, still active in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood, is mentioned by Wenc as part of the city's deep musical lineageOlivier Messiaen — composer whose work Susan Alcorn famously transposed for pedal steelVíctor Jara — Chilean singer-songwriter; Alcorn covered his songs• Additional Context:Mississippi Records — the independent archival label Wenc manages alongside his own music workSam Wenc — Post Moves: Heart Music — released on Where to Now?

. Why did Philadelphia matter so deeply to both the British and the Continental Army? How did strategy, logistics, and personalities shape the campaign that culminated in Brandywine, Germantown, and the winter at Valley Forge? And what did the occupation of the revolutionary capital mean for civilians caught between armies?  Michael C. Harris tells this story in his new book, Fighting for Philadelphia:  Forts Mercer and Mifflin, the Battle of Whitemarsh, and the Road to Valley Forge.  This campaign around the new country's largest city, in the marshes, woods, and fields of Pennsylvania and New Jersey was a critical turning point testing the resilience of the American people and military and reshaping the war's momentum.  .Tell us what you think!

As we're seeing ICE activity increased, DEI efforts rolled back, LGBTQ+ protections removed, and historical exhibits about slavery taken down, many are concerned that we are moving backwards in terms of civil rights. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission handles complaints and upholds civil rights laws here in the commonwealth.

Then, Shara Dae Howard visits Face to Face, a neighborhood community center and safe haven for Germantown individuals and families experiencing poverty. They've seen even more need lately with the bitter cold and changes to SNAP benefits.
