All kinds of stories are told at the weekly rehearsals. Some are shared for laughs. Others are merely melodies and improvisations. Some come with pictures. And some — like this one — are the tales that are many times older than all of us.As reported here earlier, traditional versions of “Pretty Polly” were on some of the first discs made by Appalachian musicians at the dawn of the recording industry. These included Eastern Kentuckian John Hammond's "Purty Polly" of 1925 and the "Pretty Polly" versions of B.F. Shelton and Dock Boggs, both in 1927.To read more about the song's fascinating origin story — it goes back nearly 300 years in Great Britain, had immigrated in the U.S. by the early 20th century to be collected by song hunter Cecil Sharp and obtained honored status in the folk song revival of the 1960s — check out the earlier Flood Watch article by clicking here.Floodifying It The Flood's version of this song lyrically follows the well-established narrative of Polly and Willie's fateful night, but melodically it takes a lot of liberties with the traditional tune. The rendition, in fact, is built on a musical idea that dates back a half century to pre-Flood days.When Charlie Bowen and David Peyton were just starting out as a duo in the early 1970s, they discovered that a repeated scale descending from an opening minor chord resonated nicely on the guitar-Autoharp accompaniment to their voices.Over the decades, each configuration of the band has found something new to contribute to this basic arrangement. And it is still happening. Just listen to what Dan Cox and Jack Nuckols brought to the song at a rehearsal earlier this month.More Folkiness?If you'd like more tunes from The Flood's dustier shelves, you can use Flood Watch's resources to find some.

Jam Logs, the Podcast of The 1937 Flood

For this old folk song, we follow the well-established narrative about a love affair that goes tragically wrong, but we take a lot of liberties with the traditional melody. Well, our unique tune goes back the very beginnings of The Flood. When Dave Peyton and Charlie Bowen were just starting out as a duet a half century ago, they found that odd string of chords seem to set just right with their simple guitar and Autoharp accompaniment. Since then over the years, every configuration of The Flood has found something new to add to that basic original arrangement. And it's still happening. Just listen to this take from last week's Flood rehearsal and to what Danny Cox and Sam St. Clair have contributed with their solos. 

The 1937 Flood Watch Podcast

Americans know “Pretty Polly” as the short, tragic story of a young woman who is lured into the forest and murdered by her brutal lover, who then buries her in a shallow grave and runs away.Actually, though, the oldest versions of this song — which has its origins almost 300 years ago in Great Britain — needed up to 36 verses to tell its grim story.In the original English ballad — called “The Gosport Tragedy” or “The Cruel Ship's Carpenter” — the murderer is a sailor who promised to marry the girl he seduced, but then changes his mind when he learns she is pregnant.  After he dumps her savaged remains in a forest grave, the killer returns to sea where he is haunted by his dead lover. In some versions, the sailor is murdered by her angry spirit; in others, he is driven to madness and/or to suicide.And as is often the case with ballads, the story probably is based on fact.Back in 1979, Professor David Fowler of the University of Washington published research in The Southern Folklore Quarterly arguing that the events of the song actually took place in 1726 and involved a ship's carpenter by the name of John Billson, who died at sea. First printed around 1727, the ballad tells the tale of Billson's murder of his pregnant girlfriend and of his fleeing aboard a ship called the MMS Bedford.Coming to AmericaBy the time the ballad migrated to North America (where British folklorist Cecil Sharp collected versions in the early 20th century), the song had been whittled down to half dozen verses, all without losing any of its emotional impact.  In the United States in the mid-1920s, the song had gained new life as a banjo tune by the time of its earliest recordings, including Eastern Kentuckian John Hammond's "Purty Polly" of 1925 and the "Pretty Polly" versions of B.F. Shelton and Dock Boggs, both in 1927.Curiously, Shelton and Boggs' versions both begin in the first person ("I courted Pretty Polly..."), then switch to the third person for the murder ("he stabbed her to the heart….”)Later, when a couple of first ladies of the 1960s folk revival recorded the song — Jean Ritchie in 1963, Judy Collins in 1968 — their versions featured alternating verses, switching back and forth between Polly and Willie's perspectives. Our Take on the TuneOur version of the song follows the well-established narrative of Polly and Willie's fatal night, but we take a lot of liberties with the traditional melody. Our rendition, in fact, is built on a musical idea that dates back a half century to the pre-Flood days. When Charlie Bowen and David Peyton were just starting out as a duo in the early 1970s, they found that a repeated scale descending from an opening minor chord resonated nicely on the guitar-Autoharp accompaniment to their voices. Since those salad days, every configuration of Floodifaction has found something to contribute to that basic original arrangement. And it's still happening. Just listen to what Sam St. Clair and Danny Cox have brought to the song with their solos on this take from last week's Flood rehearsal.More Song StoriesBy the way, some fans of this newsletter tell us they really enjoy these deep dives into the history of the songs we sing.

Taylor Hagood on Stringbean, Persistence, and the Problem of Cutting a New Path Banjo player and comedian David Akeman, known essentially all of his professional life as Stringbean, lived the kind of rags-to-riches story that was supposed to come with a happy ending.  On this episode of News from the Peak, we talk to Professor Taylor Hagood about Stringbean and the work—the very real and often quite fragile work—of writing a book about someone who has tended be seen as only important in death. Hagood is as engaging a speaker as he is a writer. A professor of literature at Florida Atlantic University, Hagood has a distinguished career as a scholar of William Faulkner, among other writers, and is a teacher and lecturer of no small renown.  Alongside all of that, he somehow finds time to perform magic and sing and play piano and banjo. A skilled visual artist and craftsman, he recently built a banjo that uses the same resonator as the one most closely associated with Stringbean (the Vega #9 Tubaphone) and closely follows it in other elements of its design.  That's the banjo you can hear Hagood play in these three tracks that he very generously recorded for us. You will hear Cripple Creek during the interview and at the end we share two tracks in full —“Hot Corn, Cold Corn” and “Pretty Polly”. All of these are closely associated with Stringbean and Hagood plays them in the clawhammer style that Akeman favored, and on the Banjo he built during the writing of this book.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a multi-genre anthology. It aired over the CBS network almost daily from 1974 to 1982 and included 1,399 episodes. Episodes shared a time slot with the top-of-the-hour news summary. After subtracting the news and commercials, CBSRMT was left with a 45-minute format. The series was hosted, for the most part, by the late E.G. Marshall. The series creator and producer Himan Brown oversaw scripts and, though the daily format restricted the depth of sound effects, each show averaged 45 minutes. The writing was intelligent and the stories were thought-provoking. CBSRMT presented a bit of everything—science fiction, historical drama, ghost stories, horror—but the majority of episodes were murder mysteries, often with a supernatural bent. Because of the enormous volume of episodes, this archive could take up a LOT of time, to the detriment of other areas of this site. Therefore, I've decided to limit the archive to shows which best fit into the Plot Spot's chosen venue of sci-fi, horror, etc.

Something different this week. We'll be reflecting on the Spring Issue of a magazine that cuts through the heart of what we love doing here on both Blue Moon Americana as well as Deeper Roots. There are a handful of publications that make the cut but No Depression magazine is truly special and the Spring 2021 issue is something to revel in. The writing, the artists, and the arc of 'The Great American Songbook', from Stephen Foster to Louis Armstrong is given thoughtful and insightful treatment. Our show this week puts a soundtrack with a century of America's music explored: Dock Boggs' Pretty Polly, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, The Blue Sky Boys' cover of Knoxville Girl, and some incredible Latin vocals from one Omara Portuondo. The magazine is worth the read and the music is worth a listen. Tune in on a Saturday among the Sonoma County skies for the best of community radio.

As we were finishing up the picking session at the Chaffin house last night, Doug’s wife, Donna, popped in from the next room to say she felt like she ought to call our families to warn them that we were all coming home in a murderous mood, judging from some of the tunes we’d been playing. Well, truth to tell, there is something about heavy summer night air that can sometimes darken the storytelling. It was several decades ago that The Flood put its own stamp on this harrowing little Appalachian murder mystery. We don’t do the song that much anymore — only on those sultry nights when with the blood is up and the moon is down.

A primeros de abril vio la luz el álbum de título homónimo del californiano Logan Ledger, pero acaba de lanzar un nuevo tema propio como “River Of Fools”, que originalmente formó parte de la serie Amazon Original vinculada al productor T Bone Burnett, con la melancolía y la elegancia de un Western gótico puesto al día. A Logan Ledger le gusta dejarse mecer por las formas clásicas del estilo, con argumentos que les fueron propios a George Jones, Lefty Frizzell e incluso Roger Miller, como en este caso. Este comienzo de programa incide en las melodías clásicas del country de los buenos tiempos y ahora nos lleva al recuerdo de las formas de Merle Haggard y los Strangers de la mano de Zephaniah OHora que, por fin, anticipa su segundo álbum, previsto para finales de agosto, con esta delicia llamada “All American Singer”, con ciertos ecos de "The Fightin' Side of Me". El músico mantiene sus relatos de historias honestas y reales, reivindicando que la country music puede hacerse en cualquier lugar. Zephaniah grabó este trabajo en The Bunker de Brooklyn, NY, a donde se mudó desde su natal New Hampshire para conseguir trabajo en el popular Skinny Dennis de Brooklyn, un bar que debe su nombre al que fuera bajista de Guy Clark. Para este nuevo disco que da continuidad a This Highway, su debut de hace tres años, ha contado con la producción del desaparecido Neal Casal en abril de 2019, además de recuperar el Steel guitar de Jon Graboff, así como John Shannon a la guitarra, el propio Neal Casal e invitados como Courtney Jaye y Dori Freeman haciendo coros y el gran Mickey Raphael en la armónica. Es posible que Leroy Virgil sea uno de los grandes compositores del country contemporáneo aún por descubrir. Con suS raíces en Reno, Nevada, a pesar de haber nacido en Aberdeen, en el estado de Washington, el líder vital de Hellbound Glory, nunca había dedicado el tiempo suficiente a homenajear a la conocida como “la ciudad pequeña más grande del mundo”, famosa por Kurt Cobain. El álbum Pure Scum es, en cuanto a historias, una especie de viaje por los estereotipos más sórdidos que se le han agregado a Reno desde siempre. Y Leroy Virgil parece hasta estar orgulloso de que la virtud no sea precisamente una de las características de sus personajes. El mundo de Hellbound Glory es punzante, con una cierta poesía en como presentan a los desafectos de la sociedad en la vida real. "Damned Angel" tiene una especial brillantez gracias a la producción de Shooter Jennings y a su banda de acompañamiento que han pulido el resultado final. Un caso parecido al de Leroy Virgil, escondido tras Hellbound Glory, podemos observar con Zane Williams y Hill Country. El tejano, con siete discos en solitario y una veneración secular en la escena del Lone Star State, se ha refugiado ahora en una especie de supergrupo donde se han reunido, además de Zane, Paul Eason, guitarrista habitual de Kevin Fowler, el multiinstrumentista Andy Rogers y una base ritmo que conforman el batería de Houston Lyndon Hughes y el bajista de Austin Sean Rodríguez. Hay buena química y una variedad de formas que abarcan rock clásico, bluegrass, country y folk con unas armonías vocales como arma secreta. "Hill Country" como término puede asociarse a Luckenbach y Jerry Jeff Walker, a las colinas de los Apalaches o a las de la dorada California. En todos los casos son influencias de una especial diversidad creativa que han dado origen a sonidos fuertemente enraizados. Su paseo por la montaña en “Evergreen” es uno de los momentos mágicos de este trabajo cálido. “Richest Man” deja claro que el más rico del cementerio está igual de muerto que todos los pobres enterrados que le rodean. Es el nuevo single y uno de los cortes de Aeonic, tiene que ver con la indefinición del tiempo y que da título al último álbum de Balsam Range, el grupo de Haywood County, en Carolina de Norte, formado en 2007 y que durante una década viene conformado una de las carreras más brillantes de la escena del bluegrass. El quinteto tomó el nombre de Great Balsam Range, una cadena montañosa que rodea a su condado de origen. Eso sí, eliminaron “Great” para no ser pretenciosos. Sturgill Simpson es una persona indescifrable. El pasado 5 de este mes de junio, el artista de Kentucky, que se ha recuperado con extraordinaria rapidez del COVID-19, subió al escenario del mítico Ryman Auditorium para anticipar el que será su nuevo álbum, un proyecto dedicado íntegramente al bluegrass y en el que contará con algunos de los mejores músicos de Nashville. La grabación de este nuevo disco fue anunciada en Instagram por el propio artista con un mensaje que borró muy pronto en el que avisaba “Preparen su Zyrtec (que es un antihistamínico contra la alergia) porque estamos cortando la hierba”. Sturgill Simpson es una persona indescifrable. El pasado 5 de este mes de junio, el artista de Kentucky, que se ha recuperado con extraordinaria rapidez del COVID-19, subió al escenario del mítico Ryman Auditorium para anticipar el que será su nuevo álbum, un proyecto dedicado íntegramente al bluegrass y en el que contará con algunos de los mejores músicos de Nashville. Entre las canciones interpretadas por Sturgill Simpson en la hora aproximada de concierto, mostró una serie de temas perteneciente a sus álbumes anteriores pasados por el filtro del bluegrass. Ese fue el caso de “Long White Line”, uno de los cortes de Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, que produjo Dave Cobb en 2014 y que supuso su segundo disco en solitario, grabado con 4.000 dólares en cinco días y medio. El concierto de Sturgill Simpson en un Ryman Auditorium sin público tuvo mucho de recorrido por su carrera, que no olvidó sus aventuras como miembro de Sunday Valley, formado en 2004 junto al batería Edgar Purdom III y el bajista Gerald Evans, aunque tuvieron un impasse debido al trabajo de Sturgill en el ferrocarril. El grupo se reformó y en 2011 publicaron el álbum To The Wind And On To Heaven, donde se incluyó la versión original de “All The Pretty Colors”, recordada en el Ryman de esta forma. El escenario acogió a Sturgill Simpson con su Martin D-28 acompañado por la mandolinista Sierra Hull, Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Mike Bub (bajo), Scott Vestal (banjo), Tim O'Brien y Mark Howard (guitarras) y su viejo amigo Miles Miller (batería). Como el propio artista recordó, "probablemente la mejor banda de bluegrass del planeta". Es indudable que el nuevo álbum de Sturgill Simpson va a ser todo un acontecimiento, con esa revisión tan particular de algunas de las canciones de sus discos precedentes. Así ha ocurrido con “All Around You”, una de las piezas de A Sailor's Guide To Earth de hace cuatro años. Aquel tercer disco del kentuckyano superó por entonces todas las previsiones, dando un notable giro a su andadura y logrando situarse en la cima de las listas y el reconocimiento de la Academia. “All Around You” ya fue uno de los cortes más reconocibles y cercanos de aquel trabajo que ahora en esta versión parece perfecto para paisajes agrestes y saludables. El concierto de Sturgill Simpson en el Ryman de hace una semana también incluyó un par de versiones de los Stanley Brothers, una banda seminal para los seguidores del bluegrass. Al margen de “Sharecropper's Son”, Sturgill eligió “Pretty Polly”, un tradicional que la pareja de hermanos grabó en 1951. Ahora tan solo nos queda esperar la edición de este nuevo registro de un músico siempre impaciente por sorprendernos en su actividad creativa. Entre las últimas ocupaciones de Sturgill Simpson antes de la llegada de la pandemia debemos recordar la producción de su último álbum¸ That's How Rumors Get Started, de su buena amiga Margo Price, para lo que se marcharon a los legendarios estudios EastWest de Hollywood. El resultado refleja un momento determinado que ahora adquiere un significado diferente, como si todo se hubiera ralentizado. El trabajo, que habla de su propia maternidad, el estrellato, la industria Nashville o la crisis nacional de salud, da la impresión de ser un álbum más cercano, en el que ha prescindido de las motivaciones políticas que incidieron mucho en sus anteriores discos, aunque Margo mantiene en suS declaraciones públicas su vigor habitual. Compuesta por la artista de Aledo, en Illinois, y su marido, Jeremy Ivey, “Letting Me Down” está protagonizada por un par de adolescentes que intentan escapar de lo cotidiano y que tiene cierta similitud con unos amigos de secundaria. En este álbum podemos encontrar canciones mucho más personales, que hablan de la maternidad, el estrellato, la transformación de Nashville o la crisis de salud. Sarah Jarosz nos ha regalado un disco tan brillante como World On The Ground, el primero en solitario desde hace 4 años. Ha sido grabado en su estudio casero de Manhattan y ha contado con la producción de John Leventhal, marido de Rosanne Cash, para centrarse en la vida en una ciudad pequeña, como pudiera ser su natal Wimberley, en Texas, con poco más de 2.500 habitantes. Es una especie de retrato fuera del tiempo. El título de World On The Ground está tomado de uno de sus temas más sobresalientes, “Pay It No Mind”, la canción de un pájaro que contempla el mundo y que sirve como ilustración de la portada del álbum, un cuadro de Erin E. Murray que sus padres le regalaron. Brit Taylor es la pareja de Adam Chaffins, pero es mucho más que eso. Crecida al este de Kentucky, ha mantenido sus raíces en su traslado a Nashville y ha superado un descalabro emocional que gracia a su determinación y música. Así nació “Waking Up Ain't Easy”, que reescribe su nuevo plan de vida, sobreponiéndose a los peores presagios. Esta nueva canción se ha convertido en un tema refrescante debido a su vulnerabilidad e incluso su complejidad, con una agudeza emocional que lo hace muy sugestivo. Es evidente que Steve Earle es un personaje especialmente inquieto y esta etapa de aislamiento producido por la pandemia le mueve a compartir con sus seguidores sus inquietudes. Ahora hemos conocido una versión acústica de "Times Like These", una canción compuesta al comienzo de la presidencia de Donald Trump que resume la ansiedad de una era como esta y recordando que aún puede haber esperanza a pesar de lo sombrío del presente. La versión junto a los Dukes se grabó en el Electric Ladyland Studios mientras estaban trabajando en su último disco, Ghost Of West Virginia, y se publicará el 29 de agosto cuando se celebre el Record Store Day. Nosotros ya la escuchamos en su momento en el programa. La emotividad de la música de John Prine ha regresado cuando su familia ha compartido la última canción grabada por el mítico artista que nos arrebató el Covid-19 el pasado mes de abril. Se trata de "I Remember Everything", compuesta por Prine y su buen amigo Pat McLaughlin y contando con la producción de Dave Cobb para contar recuerdos del pasado que dejan una marca indeleble. Se dio a conocer muy poco antes del homenaje transmitido por redes sociales el pasado jueves por la noche con artistas como Margo Price, Jason Isbell y Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile o Kacey Musgraves.

STUFF FROM THE LOFT - Dave Dye

'Recorded any new podcasts lately?' I get asked this a few times every week. The askees range from college attendees to retired adman. As I pick the people I interview, they seem as famous as The Beatles to me, but they're often unknown to the askees. After offering up a name and watching a blank expression appear, I reach for a quick handle, something from culture that I think they'll know. Occasionally it's an ad fact; 'Set Up Fallon before his name was lopped off' (Tom McElligott), but it's better if it's something that's escaped from the pages of Campaign and the various awards annuals and seeped into the culture. A good test is whether it would pique the interest of your parents. For example, mine wouldn't be fussed about who founded Fallon, but they might be interested in the bloke who 'Created those Smash Martians and Cresta Bear ads, yet wasn't John Webster' (Chris Wilkins), or the 'Typographer who used to be in a band with David Bowie' (Dave Wakefield) or maybe the guy who 'Shot all those Gary Lineker Walker's ads' (Paul Weiland). Should I bump into another askee before I post this, and they haven't heard the name Trevor Beattie, the problem wouldn't be trying to think of a cultural link they may know, it will be trying to figure out which one is most relevant to the person in front of me. I could create a very bespoke answer. Because Trevor seems to have had a disproportionate amount of brushes with popular culture. Here's a few that spring to mind: He went to school with UB40.

“And then you have to sell work to clients, and guess what? They are men, and then you have to get it made by directors. And they are men. And then, if you want your career to progress, you need to win awards. And largely in the past, all the juries are men and then you look back and you go, historically, the work that’s winning awards is sport, beer, football, technology, cars. So you see, it's not that it's innately against women, it's just nature’s way. So until we've addressed that balance, and thank goodness it’s finally happening, it's very hard as a woman to get on [in this world]… and I did struggle, if I'm honest, I look back and go, my portfolio of work should be better.”In this episode, I talk to Rosie Arnold. Rosie is an icon in the world of Advertising. She joined the world-famous ad agency BBH straight from art school in 1983. And she stayed there 33 years, learning her craft and working closely with its founder John Hegarty. After the passing of her husband, she decided she needed a change and went on to work for another acclaimed ad agency AMVBBDO. But before too long, she felt it was time to leave agency life to pursue personal projects. So as you can imagine we covered a lot, from landing at BBH where she got to see this hot creative shop grow from 11 people to over 400 staff, and with agencies across the world.We discussed what it was like to work with her mentor John Hegarty as well as some of her iconic ads including her favourite work for Pretty Polly tights and Levi’s Jeans. What stood out for me was her ability to paint me a picture of this ‘Mad Men world’ as she puts it. Because of course, Rosie saw it all – the highs and the lows this industry has to offer. One incident that stood out for me was incidents along the way and one that particularly stood out for me was when she was promoted to a bigger role, they tried to pay her less than her male predecessor. Fortunately, he had very helpfully shared how much he was paid so when they offered her less, she was able to demand what was rightfully hers. It was such a lovely conversation, full of important stories that we can hopefully all learn from.

Episode #22 of the Ground Shots Podcast This episode of the podcast features a conversation with Alyssa Sacora of the Patchwork Underground, who lives near Asheville, North Carolina. Alyssa came out to northern Idaho to take Jim Croft's 'Old Ways of Making Books' class held every year or every other year on the homestead of Jim Croft and Melody Eckroft, where I have been teaching the leather, parchment and brain-tan buckskin portion of the class. Alyssa makes books and paper, weaves baskets, and homesteads on her small property. We met back in 2013 when we both attended the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine's in-person summer immersion program which at the time was held out of Leicester, NC. It was sweet to catch up with Alyssa, an old friend. We decided to do something different for this episode, where we chat informally and candidly about life, my project, our motivations for things and generally processing our shared experiences being at the class together in northern Idaho. This episode gets extra vulnerable for me, and you hear a lot more about my process and experience doing my work on the road. We have some guest mosquitoes buzz by the mic!         In this conversation with Alyssa, we talk about:     some of my own personal stories around trauma, travel  what is love?

The guest for this episode is Spencer Mallett. Spencer is co-founder and co-owner, along with Prof. Kory Lloyd, of Freshocal. Freshocal is a service that conveniently and effectively connects local, small-scale organic food producers with the average person living in the Magic Valley of Southern Idaho. Through the Freshocal website, you can order healthy, nourishing, fresh food that is delivered directly to your home, or picked up at a local pickup site. Freshocal is establishing a distribution network between the local community and local food producers. In this conversation, Spencer elaborates on how he and Kory came up with the idea of connecting local food production to the local community in a more direct way. What Spencer and Kory aim to do is re-establish connection between community and local food production, which have been obscured in large part due to the rise and prominence of large-scale agricultural food production in place of local food production. Why care about local farmers and dairies? Why care about reestablishing relationships with food and community? We go over these questions and much more in this conversation. If you live in the Magic Valley of Idaho, start an account at freshocal.com and have access to some of the best food you can get in the region.

For over 35 years, the Ozark Folk Center State Park has hosted the annual Dulcimer Jamboree.

Played them on these old- fashioned machines. I guess that he had probably 2 or 3 hundred of them. He had that there "Down South Blues." If I'm not mistaken, he had "Mistreated Mama Blues" on a record. I think it was sang and recorded by Mary Martin, or Sara Martin, or some woman; and it was accompanied by a piano. Anyway, I never did hear it played on a banjo or guitar or nothing else -- any kind of string music -- 'till just I commenced learning it myself, commenced playing it. In fact, I played for years that I never heard a man playa banjo that could play any kind
of blues on a banjo -- any kind. I got to playing with some boys, Scott Boatwright and anoLher one, I believe
it was Melvin Robenatt. And Scott says, 'I'm going to playa piece of blues, ' and said to me, 'Dock, you can wait till we play this here piece of blues.' I said, 'You think them blues ain't on this banjo neck the same as they're on that guitar? They're just as much on this banjo neck as they are on that guitar or piano or any- where else if you know where to go and get it, and if you learn it and know how to play it. 'Play the blues and see if I don't play them, see if I don't follow you.' And he played a piece of blues and sang them, and I went right along with him very good for the first time, hearing
them while he was playing them. I don't remember what that blues was, because I had some blues myself, 3 or 4 different blues that I played then all the time - - I mean all along. " HAD YOU PLAYED 'THE DOWN SOUTH BLUES' THEN? I don't remember whether I was playing "The Down South Blues" then or not. " WHEN DID YOU START WITH THE 'DOWN SOUTH?' "I commenced playing "The Down South Blues - - must have started, oh, must have been 40 years ago, maybe. About 40 years ago, I guess. " ABOUT 1923? "Yes, I have an idea that's about -- no, I must have started before that, because I know I took
my banjo and I went to Hemphill -- that's for the Elkhorn Coal Corporation -- and stayed over there a little while, had my banjo over there. I played "The Down South Blues" then, and "John Henry, " and " Poor Ellen Smith, " and "John Hardy, " and different pieces like that, and "Pretty Polly." Then people would gather up out there. We'd get out from a boarding house and sit under a big tree, and I'd have great big bunches of men gather up to hear me play. I was working in the mines loading coal, but I had my banjo over there with me and I played a lot of different pieces at that time. " 2- AND 'THE COAL CREEK MARCH' WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TUNES THAT YOU... ? "That was one of the first chording pieces that I learned. " DO YOU REMEMBER WHO PLAYED THAT? "No, I don't. I didn't learn it off of a phonograph record. I learned it -- I don't know who. I seen them chording, and I knowed the tuning that they had it in, and I just kept on fOOling with it. I seen two men with banjos that really could play "The Coal Creek March." And they had words for the song of "The Coal Creek March." I never learned them. If I had wanted, and insisted, I could have got the words -- they would have given them to me, if they would have cared to at all. Back along about - - just after I made those phonograph records, I guess it may have been in '27, last of '27, i 27 or i 28, that I seen these fellows. They was good on that there "Coal Creek March," the best that ever I heard -- anybody -- 'cause they had the words to it; that's what made it so good. " DO YOU REMEMBER HOW THE WORDS GO? "No, can't remember nary a thing about that... " 4- DOCK, I REMEMBER AFTER YOU PLAYED 'THE COAL CREEK MARCH' FOR ME DOWN IN ASHEVILLE, DID YOU - - IT WAS THEN THAT YOU LEARNED SOME MORE ABOUT IT? "Yes, I found -- my brother-in-law, he's from Tennessee. He was telling me where that song "Coal Creek March" originated from and how it come about. It was made -- they had some labor trouble down in Tennessee. The men had been out on a strike and the state or government or something brought in ... convicts to try to run the mines with convict labor, and the people there tore it all up and turned them all loose. They had the state militia or guards or home guards whatever you call it in there, and they played up and down the road then a song they called" The Coal Creek March, " and it originated from that there strike and labor trouble they had there, what I understand, and there was a song made up about it. I have·never got the words of it. " WHEN YOU SAY THE PEOPLE 'TORE IT UP, 9 YOU MEAN--? "When they brought in this here convict labor, why, they went and turned them loose where they was in stockades, and broke it up. They was going to use the convict labor for to mine the coal and so on. They had on a strike, and the people just wouldn't stand for it. " 5- "They was a doctor in town here, one doctor; M. L. Stallard, Moran Lee Stallard was his name, and that's my name: Moran Lee. We had one doctor in town and he had so many calls he couldn't fill near all of them, but they wasn't many people in Norton at that time and he was out of town. So, my father thought a lot of Doc Stallard, and mother did, too; and so whenever I was born -- whenever I came into the world -- a boy, why, they named me after Moran Lee Stallard. When I was just a little toddler toddling around, why, my dad com- menced calling me Dock, and all my brothers and sisters and everybody called me Dock. And even people, my acqua.intances -- and when I was going to school I didn't even want anybody to even mention the name Moran Lee-- M-o-r-a-n L-double-e. I thought that was awful ugly; I'd rather be called Dock two-to-one. So, after I got older, why, doing my official business and so on I Signed my right name Moran Lee, and when I made phonograph records, why, I decided I'd better have my name put on there the way that everybody knowed me. And nearly everybody knowed me Dock and they didn't know anything about my name being Moran Lee or M. L. Boggs." 6- "When I was -- I started to Atlanta, Georgia, one
time I come out from Ashland, Kentucky, and I was
alone -- just had my banjo -- and pass off the time I started playing the banjo up through there, and I must have been going through close to where some of this trouble had happened. There's a man reached over and said, 'Buddy, if I's you I wouldn't play that through here. ' He said, 'I love to hear you play, I like to hear you Sing, I love to hear the song, I love to hear you play the banjo, but I wouldn't play that through here, because you know Ws been years and years since that trouble hap- pened, but up here at Prestonburg in the courthouse yard about a month or two ago or something like it a colored fellow playing that "Rowan County Crew, " playing it on the guitar and Singing it sitting under a tree there in the courthouse yard. One of those hotheads, boys -- must have been a distant relative or something to some of these people -- walked up to him, must have been about drunk or.something or other, just pulled out a •45 and shot the whole top of his head off.' And he said, 'It's a fact and I wouldn't play it through here.' I said, 'Mister, I'll not play it through here!' So I just stopped playing
it through there. So, I'm down here too far now, I don't guess that there's anybody wants to shoot me for playing it; so I'll play it for you the best I know how. "

Borne of the back woods of Appalachia, bluegrass became a distinct musical style when Bill Monroe combined elements of traditional Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English music with a uniquely American influence and took his show on the road for a career that spanned 60 years. Monroe played this style of music he'd largely invented until the time of his death in 1996. But there are other towering figures in the genre who are still performing in 2013 - currently an octogenarian, Ralph Stanley won a Grammy for his version of "O Death" from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack in 2002 and is still going strong. Younger generations of musicians have followed in Monroe and Stanley's footsteps - sometimes expanding bluegrass and sometimes sticking close to the traditionalist style. Los Angeles' Rocky Neck Bluegrass Band is a new ensemble that falls more into the latter camp of tried and true bluegrass instrumentation, but also pushes its boundaries just a little by reworking some classic rock songs to fit into a more conventional bluegrass framework. The results bring a fresh kind of familiarity to new fans that might not know standards like "Pretty Polly" but do know Neil Young songs. Rocky Neck Bluegrass Band has one EP available, a full performance schedule and they took first place in the California Bluegrass Association's "Great 48 Showcase Showdown" in 2012.

Ugh! I had to replace my "Black Legacy" playlist, originally meant for today's webcast (Sept. 3rd, 2011 2pm - 4pm @ www.killradio.org). Why? After the implosion of last week's CSC ("Beats, Breakbeats, Scratches and Bass"), I found the "Black Legacy" show to be as implosion-possible as the "BBSB" show was. Frakkin' heavy handed DJing if ya' ask me...and now I'm scared that I've lost my playlist-making powers. So fine, let's jump to my "Children's Show" with music that was a part of my youth as well as music made for children from the 40's - 70's. No way to misstep with kiddie music, right?!! Right?!! Answer ME!!! Many tracks played throughout today's show I was happy to find thanks to the magic of the Internet. Perfect examples are all the tracks by the Record Guild of America, Inc., that during the 1940's produced a number of children's music records on 45rpm. I was lucky enough to find them available in .mp3 format along with the original artwork. (Check out the link which proves I'm tellin' the truth). One of the tracks that I was practically raised on was "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group, as it was played (by my brother and I mostly) on my parents' jukebox growing up. Actually it was my Mom's jukebox, an anniversary present my Dad gave to her back in the early 70's. It looks just like the one linked and I just saw a similar one for sale at a vintage clothing store in Echo Park, although someone painted red paint all over what was originally silver metal and stained wood. Also Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherezade was another track that I have my Mom to thank for. I can remember "The Young Prince and the Young Princess" being played while my family and I did housework and yardwork on the weekends. For that reason, this show is very much dedicated, with much love and affection, to my Mom and all the great music that she exposed me to growing up. 1.
