In this episode, Tony Brueski investigates Oshkosh's Grand Opera House, a historic venue said to be home to more than just the performing arts. Tales of ghostly figures in the balcony, unexplained sounds, and objects moving without cause have been part of the opera house's lore for decades. Some say the spirits are former actors or patrons who never quite left the stage behind. What makes the Grand Opera House such a hotspot for paranormal activity? Tony explores both the historical and psychological factors that may contribute to these sightings, asking whether the theater is truly haunted—or if the stories are part of the drama that has unfolded within its walls for over a century.

This past week, the Superior Telegram released it's 14th episode of Archive Dive, which is a monthly history podcast hosted by Telegram reporter Maria Lockwood. Each month, Maria and a local historian dive into the archives of historic events, people and places in Superior and Douglas County.  This month's episode of Archive Dive focuses on the Grand Foot Path, a trail that traverses from St. Croix Falls to Madeline Island. Known by many names over the years, it was used for travel by foot, horseback and via stagecoach as the area developed. Echos of the foot path remain as various trails in Douglas County. Maria is joined by Brian Finstad, historian with the Gordon-Wascott Historical Society, as they discuss the trail's Native American origins, and how it grew to become an important travel circuit Finstad, a native of Gordon, grew up with the foot path "in his backyard" as segments went right through property his family owned. "It is always interesting to me that there were communities that were very historically connected together because of how people traveled that today, we don't think of as very connected," said Finstad. "The Grand Foot Path (St. Croix Trail, Bayfield Trail, Stagecoach Line) fell out of use when the railroads came to the area. As soon as the railroads came in, it very quickly disappeared. Even in the 1880s, you'll find that they were already writing about it as it was something from long ago history." Also in this episode, Maria and Brian look at how the foot path influenced business, careers and traveling; its multiple names; why it had the attention of a U.S. Senator from Minnesota; why it was national news in newspapers in the 1850s and 1860s; why it's hard to find mentions of it in Wisconsin and Minnesota stagecoach history; where you can see segments of the trail; the significance of Gordon's Moccasin Road; plans for an auto tour of the trail, and much more. You can find that full episode at superiortelegram.com or whatever streaming service you listen to this podcast.   In case you missed Archive Dive's 13th episode, I am re-sharing it here. In February, Maria and frequent guest Teddie Meronek, who is a local historian and retired librarian, spoke about Superior's Grand Opera House and how it was indeed grand! Enjoy!

Les Huguenots was some five years in creation. Meyerbeer prepared carefully for this opera after the sensational success of Robert le diable, recognizing the need to continue to present lavish staging, a highly dramatic storyline, impressive orchestration, and virtuoso parts for the soloists – the essential elements of the new genre of Grand Opera. Meyerbeer and his librettist for Robert le Diable, Eugène Scribe, had agreed to collaborate on an epic work concerning the French Wars of Religion, with a drama partly based on Prosper Mérimée's 1829 novel Chronique du règne de Charles IX.  Coming from a wealthy family, Meyerbeer could afford to take his time, dictate his own terms, and be a perfectionist. The very detailed contract which Meyerbeer arranged with Louis-Désiré Véron, director of the Opéra, for Les Huguenots (and which was drawn up for him by the lawyer Adolphe Crémieux) is a testament to this.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Myerbeer: Les Huguenots (classicalsavings.com)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @khedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!http://www.classicalsavings.com/donate.html staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com

December 19, 1959. 21st Christmas program with George Morgan (photo) who was a fixture on the Grand Ole Opry most of the period from 1948 until his death in 1975 . The Grand Ole Opry started as the WSM Barn Dance in the new fifth-floor radio studio of the National Life & Accident Insurance Company in downtown Nashville on November 28, 1925. The phrase "Grand Ole Opry" was first uttered on radio on December 10, 1927. At the time, the NBC Red Network's Music Appreciation Hour, a program with classical music and selections from grand opera, was followed by Hays' Barn Dance. That evening, as he was introducing the show and DeFord Bailey, his first guest, George Hay said the following words: For the past hour, we have been listening to music largely from Grand Opera, but from now on, we will present 'The Grand Ole Opry'.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Ole_Opry

Suponemos que en estas semanas de aislamiento, a todos nos ha dado tiempo de comprar papel higiénico como si no hubiera un mañana, llamar a la familia y a los amigos, encontrar esas fotos que parecían perdidas, limpiar los altillos, vaciar la nevera, y, por supuesto, ordenar los libros y los discos. Cuando te pones a esto último, lo de los discos, de pronto, aparecen algunas obras de arte que, con más o menos tiempo, te reencuentras hasta contigo mismo... Pues hoy hemos decidido recopilar algunas de ellas. Si alguna vez quieres retroceder en el tiempo y revisar la historia cultural de lo que se llama Americana, no está de más remitirse a Dom Flemons, un historiador de la música. Es un folclorista de Phoenix, Arizona. Cantante y compositor, se ha convertido, además, en todo un experto en instrumentos tradicionales. Fue socio fundador de Carolina Chocolate Drops y dejó el grupo en 2014 para seguir en solitario. El cuarto de sus discos, Black Cowboys, formó parte de una de las múltiples series de las que edita Smithsonian. Está inspirado en sus raíces familiares y narra una buena parte de la rica y profunda historia de la música del oeste de Estados Unidos, a menudo ignorada. Las canciones incluyen estándares tan queridos como "Home On the Range" pero también hay espacio para temas originales del estilo de "He’s A Lone Ranger", un homenaje a la figura de Bass Reeves, crecido en la región de Texarcana y convertido en diputado. Mirando a esos discos que de pronto aparecen, nos hemos encontrado con Stoney Edwards, un cantante de country con una presencia significativa entre los artistas más enraizados dentro de la música country. Nativo de Seminole, en Oklahoma, ha pasado a la historia por una canción como "She's My Rock", convertida en todo un éxito del año 1972 y más aún cuando Brenda Lee y George Jones la versionaron un par de años más tarde. Y buscando y buscando… le ha tocado el turno a Charley Pride, que creció escuchando a algunos de los maestros como Ernest Tubb, Eddy Arnold, Hank Williams y George Jones. Desarrolló un estilo propio partiendo de ellos, pero incluyó a otros de sus favoritos, como Sam Cooke, B.B. King o Brook Benton. Y es que volvemos a remitirnos a esa frase de Nick Lowe en la que nos recordaba que si eres capaz de unir el country y el soul conseguirás la mejor de las canciones. Charley Pride siempre entendió que la música americana se construye desde el country, el gospel y el blues. Es muy posible que su canción más recordada sea "Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone?", que alcanzó la cima de las listas de country en Abril de 1970. A costa de un malentendido entre la editorial y los compositores -Glenn Martin y Dave Kirby-, el tema había sido grabado y publicado por Bake Turner, jugador del equipo de fútbol americano de los Jets de New York. Pride intento encontrar otros singles para sustituirlo, pero la grabación había quedado tan perfecta como acabamos de escuchar y decidieron editarla. La versión de Turner no tuvo la más mínima repercusión. Ray Charles es un nombre antes el que hay que quitarse cualquier sombrero y cuando te reencuentras con alguno de sus Lps antológicos solo puedes estar agradecido. En 1952 se había mudado al sello ABC/Paramount para poder tener un mayor control sobre su música. Fue por entonces cuando decidió ensanchar el horizonte estilístico y adentrarse en caminos que hasta entonces no había experimentado. Eddy Arnold y Cindy Walker compusieron “You Don’t Know Me” y el primero de ellos grabó la versión original en la primavera de 1956. Pero seis años después, el músico invidente la llevó al segundo puesto de las listas generales de singles tras sorprender a la industria con un álbum convertido en fundamental para la historia de la música popular Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music. En ocasiones, uno agradece tener cierto tiempo para permitir la reaparición de músicos y canciones que tenías durante demasiado tiempo en el olvido. Y estas fechas nos han traído al presente al tejano de Simonton Dobie Gray, cuya carrera abarcó el soul… y también el country. A mitad de los 60 dejó para el recuerdo "The 'In' Crowd", pero en 1973, el mismo año en que nació TOMA UNO publicó "Drift Away". Aquella canción que había compuesto Mentor Williams tres años antes y que había grabado en origen John Henry Kurtz fue la que marcó la carrera del artista de Texas. Ted Hawkins siempre fue un personaje enigmático. Tocaba en la calle o en pequeños locales y era poco comunicativo. Muchos se arrogaron haberle descubierto a lo largo de los años, pero este artista de Biloxi, en Mississippi, era difícil de llevar a otros terrenos que no fueran el de su libertad personal. Sus grabaciones se repartieron de forma indiscriminada y algunas de ellas fueron ordenadas por Rounder en 1982, con una excelente aceptación por parte de la crítica, aunque con mínimas ventas. Ted Hawkins mezclaba gospel, folk y country con acento sureño y un acompañamiento casi minimalista, propio de los pioneros. Cuando te encuentras con un disco como The Next Hundred Years de 1994, editado poco menos de un año antes de su muerte, es su grabación emblemática. El cierre de aquel último disco en vida fue esta versión a “Long As I Can See The Light”, que también fue el último corte de Cosmos Factory para la Creedence Clearwater Revival, que en un mes cumplirá medio siglo de edición. Darius Rucker tenía muy claro que en su álbum True Believers, iba a incluir una versión de “Wagon Wheel”, que sacaron a la luz Old Crow Medicine Show y que se convirtió en uno de los temas favoritos de su hija. La melodía y los coros de esta canción pertenecen a Bob Dylan, que la maquetó en 1973 durante las sesiones de grabación de Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid y aunque nunca se editó oficialmente, se pudo encontrar en algunos discos piratas de Dylan con el nombre de "Rock Me Mama". A pesar de que estaba inacabada, Ketch Secor escribió una letra adicional y convirtió "Rock Me Mama" en "Wagon Wheel", siendo incluida en el álbum O.C.M.S. de 2004. Cuando en estos tiempos escuchas una canción que describe un viaje en autostop desde Nueva Inglaterra hasta Carolina del Norte, pasando por Virginia para llegar a Cumberland Gap y Johnson City, en Tennessee, para encontrarte con tu amor, supone todo una brisa alegre. Darius Rucker, el que fuera miembro de Hootie & the Blowfish, contó por entonces en las armonías vocales con los miembros de Lady Antebellum, que el pasado jueves anunció el cambio de su nombre por el de Lady A, mostrándose arrepentidos y avergonzados por no haber considerado la asociación del término "Antebellum" con la esclavitud, previo a la Guerra Civil de Estados Unidos. A veces, mirando en los armarios, te encuentras con algunos discos que hacía tiempo que no escuchábamos. Esta vez nos hemos ido a 1974 y a un álbum como That's A Plenty. Fue una época en que las distribuidoras españolas de discográficas internacionales se preocupaban, y mucho, por editar una buena parte de las novedades de Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos. Aquel disco de las Pointer Sisters fue toda una sorpresa, sobre todo cuando esta canción, se llevó el premio Grammy a la mejor canción de country. Trataba, como suele ocurrir en buena parte de los temas del género, sobre una ruptura, en este caso basada en la experiencia personal de Bonnie Pointer y tras escuchar a James Taylor. Mavis Staples es una de las grandes veteranas a las que hay que rendir pleitesía de vez en cuando, porque suponen mantener viva la llama de la reivindicación de las raíces más profundas de la música norteamericana y la fusión de los géneros y de las formas. Mavis grabó hace 10 años un álbum como You’re Not Alone con la producción de Jeff Tweddy, consiguiendo un Grammy como mejor álbum de Americana. Aquel disco nos permitió recordar un Lp como Green River, el tercero de la CCR, cuyo nombre fue tomado del escrito de la etiqueta de una botella de jarabe, además de ser un lugar que John Fogerty solía visitar en Putah Creek, un río del norte de California. Cerrando la cara A de aquel vinilo encontramos “Wrote a Song For Everyone”, una canción que Fogerty elegiría en 2013 como título de su álbum de su noveno álbum en solitario en el que contó con un buen número de invitados pero que antes había versionado de esta forma la veterana vocalista. Yola es una vocalista y compositora británica de Bristol descubierta por Dan Auerbach, miembro de los Black Keys, que la descubrió a través de un vídeo actuando en Nashville que le envió un amigo. Él mismo fue el productor de su álbum de debut, Walk Through Fire, publicado a finales de febrero de 2019 y convertido en uno de los favoritos de TOMA UNO. Desde entonces, se ha convertido en una de las voces más recurrentes del panorama de la Americana, participando en la última edición de Festival de Newport junto a las Highwomen, Sheryl Crow y Dolly Parton, por ejemplo. Su anticipo de su único álbum hasta el momento fue “Ride Out In The Country”, un tapiz sonoro lleno de sonidos tradicionales que unificaban fiddle, Steel guitar, cuerdas y una capacidad interpretativa poco común. Carolina Chocolate Drops enamoró a los aficionados con su propuesta de poner al día la música del siglo XIX y la tradición de muchas décadas de la música de Estados Unidos. Esa formación acústica procedente de Carolina del Norte encontró en su álbum Leaving Eden a otro de los productores perfectos para mantener esa fórmula de contactar el pasado y el presente. Era Buddy Miller, que logró que aquel disco se percibiera como una fiesta de sábado por la noche. Dentro de aquel ramillete de canciones con ecos de siglos pasados, era inevitable destacar un tema propio como “Country Girl”. En aquel trío destacó la personalidad de Rhiannon Giddens, a quien hemos venido siguiendo desde hace tiempo y que nos ha dejado multitud de aventuras sonoras e incluso sus aportaciones como actriz a series televisivas como Nashville. Mickey Guyton es una joven artista de Arlington, en Texas, que se ha convertido en una de las voces más populares de la escena del country en los últimos tiempos. Su más reciente novedad es un tema como “Black Like Me”, que vio la luz coincidiendo con el reciente Blackout Tuesday y que narra su experiencia personal en la vida cotidiana de Estados Unidos y en la industria del country, poniendo el énfasis en determinadas desigualdades muy evidentes. Sus diferencias con su sello discográfico son bien conocidas. Esa nueva canción tiene entre sus versos uno que dice, explícitamente, “Si piensas que vivimos en la tierra de los libres, deberías intentar ser negra como yo”. Hoy queremos concluir con un artista que marcó un momento crucial en la historia de este género. Es DeFord Bailey. Él fue toda una estrella del country desde los años 20 hasta la llegada de la década de los 40. Tocaba varios instrumentos, pero era especialmente conocido como armonicista. El 10 de diciembre de 1927, tras un espacio de música clásica de la NBC llamado Music Appreciation Hour, la emisora de Nashville WSM comenzó su Barn Dance con un comentario de su gerente y locutor, George D. Hay, que ha pasado a la historia: "Durante la última hora, hemos estado escuchando música en gran parte de Grand Opera, pero a partir de ahora, presentaremos" The Grand Ole Opry ". La primera canción que sonó fue "Pan American Blues", que es la que hoy cierra el tiempo de TOMA UNO y nos cita para mañana en la sintonía habitual de cada fin de semana en Radio 3. Hoy hemos reunido algunas de las canciones que hemos venido escuchando también en estas fechas de cuarentena. Hemos recorrido con ellas distintas etapas de la country music. Y, al final, resulta que entre todos los artistas que nos han acompañado había una coincidencia. Todos son negros… Black Lives Matter. Escuchar audio

In this series of podcasts, Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean gives listeners a taste of nine different types of traditional opera. Grand opera developed in the mid-19th century and centered on performances at the Opéra in Paris. The roots of the genre stretch back to the opulent court of France’s Sun King, Louis XIV, and continue to influence how opera is presented to this day. Verdi’s Aida (1871) is probably the world’s favorite grand opera (although it’s not necessarily a textbook example of the genre, since it wasn’t written for the Opéra, is sung in Italian, and is briefer and more straightforward than most grand operas). Another beloved masterpiece is Wagner’s Tannhäuser (1845), a work retro-fitted in 1861 for performance at the Opéra. Musical examples on the podcast drawn from recordings of Verdi’s Don Carlos (first entrance of Philip II), Vienna Staatsoper performance conducted by Bertrand De Billy, (Premiere Opera Ltd. 2004); “Le divertissement royal – Danse de Neptune” from Lully: l’Orchestre du Roi Soleil, Le Concert des Nations led by Jordi Savall (Alia Vox Spain 1999); Don Carlos (conclusion), soloists, chorus, and orchestra of La Scala conducted by Claudio Abbado (Deutsche Gramophon, 1984); Seattle Opera’s 2018 Aida, starring Alexandra LoBianco, David Pomeroy, Elena Gabouri, chorus and orchestra of Seattle Opera conducted by John Fiore; and Tannhäuser (Venusberg Ballet), Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by Daniel Barenboim (Teldec 2002).

In Part I of today's Midday on Music program, we talked about some of the financial challenges the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is experiencing. In Part II of our program today, we're going to consider the unique challenges facing Baltimore's opera community. As expensive as it is to assemble and rehearse a world class symphony orchestra, it’s even more expensive to stage a grand opera. Not only do you need an orchestra, you need a cast of principal singers, a chorus, costumes, a set, a lighting designer, a director, multiple stage-hands and more to create that magical world where people sing on stage as naturally as the rest of us speak in real life. Those are just some of the reasons that it’s been hard in recent years for Grand Opera to succeed in Baltimore. After nearly seven decades, the Baltimore Opera Company went out of business in 2009. Its successor, the Lyric Opera of Baltimore shuttered its doors in 2017. And now, one of the area’s most accomplished operatic artists is hoping that three times is the charm. James Harp is the founder and artistic director of Maryland Opera. He joins Tom in Studio A, along with local opera soprano, Colleen Daly, to talk about Maryland Opera's inaugural season. You can catch the Company’s presentation of Puccini at the Pendry at the Sagamore Pendry Hotel in Fells Point, Sunday, April 7th at 3:00pm. Click here for more information.

How to be Gay - Laurie Taylor talks to David Halperin, the US Professor of History and Theory of Sexuality, whose controversial new book explores the way in which a gay male sensibility subverts mainstream culture, from Grand Opera to Broadway Musicals. Whilst some gay men repudiate what they perceive as a narrow and stereotypical version of their sexual identity; Halperin argues that a love of kitsch, camp and melodrama is, in fact, linked to a uniquely gay culture: Furthermore, its genius lies in some of its most despised features, namely its snobbery, caricatures of women and adoration of glamour. They're joined by the writer and cultural critic, Owen Jones. Also, Tim Strangleman discusses his study into work identity and 'loss': how older railway workers have reacted to change in their industry. Producer: Jayne Egerton.
