Hey there, music lovers.  Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.  I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today, I'm joined by three musicians whose work has intrigued me for decades, from the first time I heard them - while studying at the State University of New York at Fredonia in the late 80s - through to the present day.   Mary Ramsey, John Lombardo and Jerry Augustyniak of 10,000 Maniacs are all significant names in the world of indie and alternative music, and were prime movers in the College Radio-fueled alternative explosion of the late 80s and early 90s.  Over the past few years, 10,000 Maniacs have been touring, playing a setlist that covers 40 years of material to an audience composed of many people who have been following the band from the beginning. These days, some of those people are attending these concerts with their children, signifying the band's cross generational appeal.  The band plays its first Buffalo show in many years on Saturday, October 19, when they return to the Center for the Arts on the University at Buffalo's North Campus at 8 pm.  Welcome to Why Music Matters, Mary Ramsey, John Lombardo and Jerry Augustyniak of 10,000 Maniacs…

Break 1: MOG   STORY 1: Two Men Arrested as Gwinnett Police Shut Down Illegal Casino On June 18, Gwinnett County Police Department conducted a raid on Sosa's Billiards located at 6070 S. Norcross Tucker Road in unincorporated Norcross. This operation followed a year-long investigation initiated after a traffic stop where the occupant revealed visiting a local "casino." Undercover officers confirmed illegal gambling activities at the establishment. Steven Bae Kim, the owner, and Seth Ryan Abernathy, an employee, were arrested for charges related to commercial gambling. Eight others were also arrested for gambling offenses. The raid resulted in the seizure of drugs and cash. GCPD encourages anyone with information to contact detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 404-577-8477. STORY 2: Kevin Costner: ‘Horizon' Saga Is a Four-Movie ‘Film Novel' About The American West Kevin Costner's affinity for westerns spans decades, starting with his role in "Silverado" in 1985 and culminating in his Academy Award-winning film "Dances With Wolves." He has revisited the genre in notable projects like "Hatfields and McCoys" and "Yellowstone," which reflect his fascination with the lawless drama of the frontier. Now, Costner returns to his passion with "Horizon: An American Saga," a four-film series he directs and stars in, chronicling the westward expansion during and after the Civil War. Costner emphasizes that each film in the series tells a complete story while advancing a larger narrative, avoiding cliffhangers. He views the cinematic scale as essential for portraying the vast landscapes and epic journeys integral to the western genre, aiming to create a timeless saga that explores themes of survival, community, and the pursuit of dreams amidst historical upheaval. STORY 3: Cyberbullying Common in the World of Online Gaming A recent study reveals pervasive cyberbullying and sexual harassment in professional video gaming and online gaming. Approximately 96% of players reported experiencing online abuse within the last year. Women and professional players are particularly frequent targets of this abuse. The study underscores the widespread nature of these issues within the gaming community, highlighting significant challenges that players face in maintaining a safe and inclusive online environment.

Ready or not, we're days away from the North Carolina polls opening for the 2024 Primary Election. Early voting begins Feb. 15 with the primary on March 5. With that comes a deluge of information — often in the form of TV ads — about candidates, their positions and their endorsements. It can be hard for the average voter to discern who is behind the endorsements and how important they really are. To break it all down, McClatchy D.C. correspondent Danielle Battaglia joins Under the Dome, along with The Charlotte Observer's Kendrick Marshall and Mary Ramsey.

Lead singer and violinist for the American alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs and a member of folk rock duo John & Mary, Mary Ramsey, joined Rockabilly Greg In the Flamingo Lounge on May 3, 2023 to talk about her early years getting in to music, her teaching and her songwriting process.

Segment 2, May 27, 2023 Remember the spider lilies.  Landsford Canal State Park is the place to see the bloom. It's only an hour south of Charlotte & full of flowers, good trails, & wildlife. Speaking of wildlife: Mary Ramsey of the Charlotte Observer reports on the recent NC WIldlife Resource Commission statement. "'Coyotes are common throughout North Carolina, including in cities and suburbs,'" and while they're not very prone to attacking people or pets, incidents can happen. But there are steps you can take to stay safe. Here's what to know about coyote behavior and how to keep yourself and your pets safe: ARE COYOTES A DANGER TO HUMANS? Instances of coyotes attacking humans “are very rare,” the wildlife commission advises. However, “pup season brings an added factor to interacting with coyotes” because a coyote with vulnerable pups nearby is more likely to stand its ground. “This time of year, if you pass through a brushy or wooded area and notice a coyote watching you or following you at a distance, it could have a den nearby,” biologist Falyn Owens said in the group's statement. “Calmly leave the area and notify others if you are near a public trail.” HOW TO PROTECT PETS FROM COYOTES Coyotes naturally prey on rodents and can sometimes mistake small pets, including cats and small-breed dogs, as food, the wildlife commission cautions. The group recommends keeping a close eye on pets when outside to reduce the risk of an incident. Other steps you can take to protect your pet include: Keeping pets behind a dog-proof fence that is at least 6 feet tall and prevents digging underneath Keeping pets on leashes or harnesses when outside fenced-in areas Picking up your pet if you see a coyote or suspect one is nearby when outside with your pet Feeding your pets inside and keeping food waste in secure containers Keeping bird seed off the ground, because it “can attract rodents and wildlife that prey on them” HOW TO HAZE A COYOTE When coyotes “have adapted to urban and suburban environments,” the Humane Society of the United States explains, they are more likely to hang out around populated areas, posing risks to them and people and pets. The group recommends “hazing” — “a method that makes use of deterrents to move an animal out of an area or discourage an undesirable behavior or activity” — as a technique for humanely getting rid of coyotes who've become accustomed to people. Hazing methods include: “Yelling and waving your arms while approaching the coyote” Using noisemakers, such as whistles, air horns, bells, “shaker” cans full of marbles or pennies, pots, lid or pie pans banged together Spraying the coyote with water from a garden hose or a vinegar water mixture Throwing sticks or other items such as tennis balls towards the coyote, but not directly at it. Also in the news:  A person died hiking a popular trail in the Grand Canyon National Park. Helena Wegner reports on a 36-year old hiking the Bright Angel Trail on May 14th, 2023, was found unresponsive.  They had hiked 8-miles down to the Colorado River & were attempting to hike out in the same day. Rangers also warned visitors of hiking in hot weather in the coming weeks. Parts of the trail can reach temperatures as high as 120 degrees, including in the shade, officials said. The inner canyon shouldn't be hiked in the summer between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. because that's when hikers report the most heat-related illnesses, park officials said. When temperatures are extremely high, some people's bodies can have trouble regulating temperature. In some cases, people can experience heat exhaustion and have muscle cramps, nausea, weakness and cold or clammy skin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If heat exhaustion persists for too long, however, it can lead to heatstroke, the most serious form of heat injury. If people choose to hike or be outdoors in dangerously hot temperatures,

10,000 Maniacs were mainstays in the alternative rock genre in the late 1980's through the mid-1990's.  Celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, the multi-platinum selling band maintains their free-flowing sound today with their lead singer and violinist Mary Ramsey, front and center.  The bands co-founder, Steve Gustafson joins Mary in huddling up on their tour bus, before performing in September of 2021, to talk with award-winning CAT host Ray White about their latest music.  Steve and Mary also share insights about the history of the band, technology in the music industry and their latest release -Live at the Belly Up.  Catch more about the band on Episode 082 of our show, when co-founder Dennis Drew hangs with us.  In our showcase segment, we travel back taking a look at the career of Graeme Edge, who was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018 as a member of The Moody Blues.  He was the last of the original members that was with the band until they disbanded several years ago.  Graeme, who also was leader of The Graeme Edge Band throughout the 70's, left this physical world on November 11, 2021.  Alternative and Progressive Rock...you'll find the latest on Classic Artists Today.

HPR's Dave Lawrence speaks with 10,000 Maniacs lead vocalist and violin/viola player Mary Ramsey, who also offers several exclusive musical performances in her interview!

Kari connects Mary to her dog and cat, while her grandmother also visits, as they talk about knowing when to follow one's gifts, the gift of singing, songwriting, playing the piano, violin and viola, the catalyst that put her on the life path of music she's on now, how nature has been in this moment the world is in, a gift in this slow down, being in nature, how she finds grounding, challenging oneself, the catalyst and meaning of "Even With My Eyes Closed," Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto gets a mention, the healing power of music and being that channel of pure joy on stage and in her songwriting.

Formed in 1981, 10,000 Maniacs has had 10 songs hit the charts throughout their career.  For 12 years Natalie Merchant was lead vocalist for the band.  Mary Ramsey took over that role, after Natalie's departure.  Mary is also a classically-trained violinist and adds this talent to the group.  In May of 2011, multi-award winning program director Ray White caught up with founding members Steve Gustafson and Dennis Drew before their show.  They touched on the transition of their lead singers, the early years of the band and songs they were compiling for their Music From The Motion Picture project.  10,000 Maniacs latest release is titled Halloween Live at Disney Institute.  In our "showcase segment" we feature the very latest from The Pretenders, whose latest album is Hate For Sale and Norah Jones brand new release - Pick Me Up Off The Floor.  The ladies...loud and proud on Classic Artists Today!  

10,000 Maniacs special with Steve Gustafson talking about life in music, recording, the creative process & much much more The band was formed as Still Life in 1981 in Jamestown, New York, by Dennis Drew (keyboards), Steven Gustafson (bass), Chet Cardinale (drums), Robert Buck (guitar and Newhouse's ex-husband) and Teri Newhouse (vocalist and Buck's ex-wife). Gustafson invited Natalie Merchant, who was 17 at the time, to do some vocals. John Lombardo, who was in a band called The Mills (along with brother guitarist/vocalists Mark Liuzzo and Paul Liuzzo and drummer Mike Young) and used to play occasionally with Still Life, was invited to join permanently on guitar and vocals. Newhouse and Cardinale left the band in July, and Merchant became the main singer. Various drummers came and left. The band changed its name to Burn Victims and then to 10,000 Maniacs after the low-budget horror movie Two Thousand Maniacs!. They performed as 10,000 Maniacs for the first time on Labor Day, September 7, 1981, with a line-up of Merchant, Lombardo, Buck, Drew, Gustafson, and Tim Edborg on drums. Edborg left and Bob "Bob O Matic" Wachter was on drums for most of the 1981 gigs. Tired of playing cover songs—though their first notable American hit was a cover of the Cat Stevens hit "Peace Train"—the band started to write their own music, usually with Merchant handling the lyrics and Lombardo the music. In March 1982, with Jim Foti on drums, the band recorded an EP album called Human Conflict Number Five. More gigs followed in 1982. During this time they lived in Atlanta, Georgia for a short while at the encouragement of friends who said that many gigs were available there. Discouraged by the lack of actual gigs, and by having to sell plasma and rake leaves to buy food, the band moved back to Jamestown in November 1982 to regroup. At the beginning of 1983, Jerry Augustyniak joined the band as their permanent drummer. The Maniacs met Augustyniak when they played in Buffalo, New York, where he was in a punk band called The Stains. Between March and July, the band recorded songs for a second record, Secrets of the I Ching, their debut full-length album, which was pressed by Mark Records for the band's own label Christian Burial Music. The record was well received by critics and caught the attention of respected BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel in London. One song, "My Mother the War", turned out to be a minor hit in the United Kingdom, and entered the independent singles chart. The band toured extensively during 1983 and 1984, and played gigs in the UK. Peter Leak, an Englishman living in New York City, became interested in the band, made contact and was made their manager. With the help of Leak and Elektra Records A & R man Howard Thompson, 10,000 Maniacs signed to Elektra in November 1984. In the spring of 1985, they recorded their second full-length album, The Wishing Chair, in London at Livingston Studios, with Joe Boyd as producer. Though the album was not a blockbuster hit, its status as the band's major label debut did win it some notice, and it received significant critical acclaim. Co-founder Lombardo left 10,000 Maniacs during a rehearsal on July 14, 1986. The remaining five members started recording a new album in Los Angeles with Peter Asher as the producer. In My Tribe, a more pop-rock oriented record, was released on July 7, 1987. The album stayed on the charts for 77 weeks, peaking at No. 37, and established a large U.S. audience for the group. It was also well received in the UK. The album originally contained "Peace Train". It was removed from subsequent pressings after Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam) made comments implying he agreed with a death Fatwa against author Salman Rushdie. 10,000 Maniacs' next album, 1989's Blind Man's Zoo, hit No. 13 and went gold, further increasing the group's following. In May 1989, the British music magazine NME reported that 10,000 Maniacs had won the songwriter category prize at the New York Music Awards. In 1990, with the help of Lombardo, they remastered their first two records, Human Conflict Number Five and Secrets of the I Ching, and released them as a compilation called Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983. Lombardo and Mary Ramsey, who had formed a folk act called John & Mary, opened gigs for the Maniacs on the Hope Chest Tour in 1990. In 1991, during the recordings of a new album, Merchant revealed to the other members that she would be leaving 10,000 Maniacs for a solo career in two years' time. The new album, Our Time in Eden, was released on September 29, 1992. In 1993, the band performed at the MTV Inaugural Ball for President Clinton in January and on MTV Unplugged on April 21. Merchant announced her departure from the band on MTV on August 5, 1993, saying she "didn't want art by committee anymore." The MTV Unplugged album was released on October 26, 1993. "The last 10,000 Maniacs gig was the first time I'd got drunk in nearly two years," Merchant later recalled. "I laughed a lot and threw lots of flowers out of the hotel window."

Buffalo, NY-based alternative band Mom Said No has sprinted out of the garage and set its sights on the national stage. While some of the group’s members are still in their teens, Mom Said No has already perfected its own brand of high-energy, dramatic, and tuneful pop. With the vocal harmonic influences from The Beach Boys to the high energetic performances of James Brown and the pop sensibilities of The Cars, Mom Said No is truly an experience of its own.   Mom Said No’s debut EP, Motivation, presents four radio-ready original songs and is available for download through iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon. Recorded at Goo Goo Dolls bassist Robby Takac’s GCR Audio studios, the EP includes contributions from 10,000 Maniacs violinist/vocalist Mary Ramsey, Psychedelic Furs saxophonist Mars Williams, and Arkells keyboardist/vocalist Anthony Carone. The recording showcases infectious pop (“Song to You” and “The Intro”), tender ballads (“Never Ending Something,” which boasts Ramsey’s passionate string playing), and uptempo indie rock (“Cruising”).   Composed of members Elliott Hunt (vocals and guitar); Tim Jackson (vocals); Ben Mac (bass and vocals); Chris Lillis (keyboard and vocals), and Mark Niewiemski (Drummer) Mom Said No has shared the stage with such touring acts as Young Empires, Lawrence, Walker Lukens and others. 

Alison Pipitone and singer/violist Mary Ramsey discuss Mary's career with 10,000 Maniacs, John & Mary, and Girls Gone Mild. The featured musician is Kim Kashkashian, accomplished and award-winning violist.
