Podcast appearances and mentions of Roland White

Great interview this month with seven time National Fiddle Champion and creator of the FiddleStar site, Megan Lynch Chowning! Megan doesn't compete in fiddle contests anymore, or judge them, or go to them, so I was very curious to hear about why. We talk about fiddling in California, fiddle contests, fiddle camps, and different kinds of learning and relating to fiddle music. Megan filled me in on the just-released John Hartford Fiddle Project Volume 2 that she co-produced.Megan Lynch Chowning is a seven time national fiddle champion, touring musician, Grammy-nominated recording artist, teacher, singer, and flatfooter. She's toured with Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan, Dale Ann Bradley, Roland White, Larry Cordle, Jim Hurst, Chris Jones, 3 Fox Drive, Due West, Chris Stuart, and BEML (the duo of Bill Evans and Megan). Megan has released a series of entirely solo fiddle albums, focusing on crowdsourcing fabulous but slightly more obscure fiddle tunes. She has taught fiddle and vocals at prestigious camps such as Augusta Heritage Week, the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop, Sore Fingers Bluegrass Week in the UK, Walker Creek Music Camp, and the California Bluegrass Association Camp, among many others. She's the co-director (with her husband, Adam) of the IBMA-award-winning Nashville Acoustic Camps. But sometimes she just likes to sit quietly and smell the flowers.  Reach me at meganbeller@fiddlestudio.comBandcamp YouTube Fiddle Studio books My website for learning to fiddle is Fiddle Studio which has courses and a mailing list and my Top 10 Fiddle Tunes!

This week, we've got some Carter Family music from Dale Jett, some old-time country from Lulu Belle & Scotty, and some banjo picking from Junie Scruggs – Earl's brother. There's some fine bluegrass in here from Aaron Foster, Jeanette Williams, Roland White, and the Earls Of Leicester, a great band called ‘Sideline', and some straight-ahead picking from Nothing Fancy. The ‘best of bluegrass'.

I've dug deep into my LP shelves to come up with music from Seldom Scene (1979), the Bluegrass Alliance (1970), and Tony Trischka (1980). Of course, there's some more contemporary bluegrass as well, from the Spinney Brothers, the late Roland White, Sierra Hull, Mike Scott and the Kathy Kallick Band. A song from the HCBB, a tune from Kenny Baker – some great music here.

2022.10.16 – 0654 – Dead Good Advice On Studio Corpsing Corpsing (that is, laughing uncontrollably) ‘There's one hazard that no amount of preparation can avoid: the collapse into inappropriate laughter. The Today programme website still treasures the moment when Charlotte Green kept a cool head while reading a news item about a Mr Twatt. And she would have sailed through it too, if it wasn't for the next story — about a plucky sperm whale'[1] The smallest reference to something odd may start you laughing, or it may just be because you're in ‘one of those moods'. Obviously, there's room for humour on air, and many listeners can forgive the occasional mistake. That's as long as it is not too often and they can understand what's happened. Otherwise, they'll be more bemused than amused and feel excluded.If you get a fit of the giggles, look away from their cause, think sad thoughts (“I could lose my job because of this”) and dig your fingernails into your arm to give your mind something else to concentrate on. It's often best not to try to contain the laughter, but instead go to another pre-recorded item (preferably a song) and literally laugh-off the moment. Have a good guffaw, walk into another room, have a drink of water and try to re-establish yourself in time for the next link.There are few threats greater to a newsreader's credibility than that of corpsing on air. It means to dry up, grind to a halt or, worse, burst out laughing. [1] Roland White, The Sunday Times, 30 October 2005.

If it's one thing that we love here at americana podcast, it is the concept of the artistic process. We're not alone in this, it seems that when anyone speaks about artists, musical, visual, conceptual- you name it- one of the first things people will go into or ask about, is how a piece of art came to exist.We've been doing it for three years on this show. And even when you ask an artist “how did you do this?” There's no guarantee you're going to get a straight answer. If anything, in the interest of mystique- you're more likely to be left with more questions about creation than you are to be given clarity. Our curiosity about the subject is inherently curious. If it present, if it already exists for us to view, or listen to or think about, why do we care how it got there? That feels like a much deeper question that a philosopher would probably be able to answer. But as a semi-professional music lover with a microphone, I think it's because the artistic process reminds us that art, no matter it's shape, is still inherently human. That it is subject to the time, and strengths, and limitations, and abilities of the one who makes it. The artist lives a life, inherently creates based on that experience, and then puts those creations out into the world to say “I've made this”.It's a very human process. And even when it's difficult to like humanity, it is easy to love that which reminds us that we're still human. On today's episode, we welcome an artist who embraces that humanity and pursues creation and the artistic process. Enough to have made 34 records so far in his career. Jim Lauderdale, a native of Troutman, South Carolina released his first record in 1991. A natural collaborator, he's worked with the likes of Rodney Crowell, Buddy Miller, Nick Lowe, and Roland White. And he's had songs cut by everyone from Elvis Costello to George Straight. And like anyone in the music industry, he's had ups and downs. And he'd be the first to tell you. In just a few moments of being in a room with Lauderdale, it is difficult not be struck by his kindness and forthcoming nature (he's also a bit of a prankster, I found out the hard way). So Join us on this episode as our host Robert Earl Keen, speaks with Jim Lauderdale about the artistic process, the documented phenomenon of “the Jim Lauderdale effect”, and more.

The legendary bluegrass mandolin and guitar player Roland White passed away late last week (April 1st, 2022).  After Roland's passing, a radio host from Kansas, Orin Friesen, generously sent us a recording of an interview that he conducted with Roland White in September of 1982 when Roland was a member of Country Gazette.  We thank Orin for sharing this wonderful archival interview.

Curly Seckler, Sawmill Road, Emmylou Harris, Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa are all featured in this programme, together with a song from Roland White, who passed away last week. Plenty of fine music, from 1947 to 2021.

We salute the life of Roland White this week as we mourn his passing in our artist feature sets. We have lots of birthdays to celebrate and a bit of new music. Enjoy and Stay Safe!

Saddly, last week the bluegrass world lost one its true legends—Roland White.  Recently bluegrass banjo player, and former Blue Grass Boy, Bob Black wrote a book about Roland White's life, which will soon be released by the University of Illinois Press.  In this podcast we will talk with Bob about his career in bluegrass and then we will discuss his writing of the Roland White biographical book.

30th International Bluegrass Music Awards

I am a latecomer to the world and talent of Jim Lauderdale...I "discovered" him in 2010 in Nashville at my first Americanafest (the annual conference of the Americana Music Association); he hosted the Annual Awards Ceremony at The Ryman Auditorium and I caught his official showcase with a full band at The Mercy Lounge. Shortly thereafter he was on a bill with Carrie Rodriguez at Knuckleheads Saloon in Kansas City and I try to make every performance in my home town. I've become a true fan of his music and his amazing work ethic. He has released dozens of albums, been nominated for Grammies, is one of the most prolific collaborators in American music and yet still flies under most of the American public's musical radar. In this "phoner" into the Production Studio at 90.1 FM in 2015 during the release of Jim's "I am a Song," you'll hear a wide ranging conversation of his early musical beginnings as a banjo player in New York City's country scene, his love affair with the Eastern mind/body discipline tai chi, and a recounting of just a few of his collaborations...oh the collaborations! Dr. Ralph Stanley, Buddy Miller, Robert Hunter, Nick Lowe, Roland White, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell and many more. Enjoy my conversation with the King of Americana Jim Lauderdale!

Sid waxes lyrical about Psychedelic Country Soul, the brand new album from The Long Ryders. He plays some songs from it and some songs related to it. The theme of this Sid Griffin podcast is 'The Sound'.

One lucky afternoon, Jim Lauderdale did not have to go to a gig, and I got to sit down with him for an impromptu conversation. Doing an interview with Jim was always a goal, but it just so happened that it came unexpectedly. What could we talk about? What in music was there not to talk about with Jim Lauderdale? Jim Lauderdale in Black Mountain, NC for Jam In The Trees 8-25-18 A great problem to have for anyone doing this is to land one of the most highly acclaimed songwriters and performers of their generation, no matter the time or place. But once you bring them to the microphone and pull off a lively conversation (you can be the judge of that in a bit here), what do you do then? It is as if you have just been given a Lamborghini for the afternoon at the track, and have been told to put it through its paces. Like being dropped off at base camp at Mt. Everest. It's all yours -- go for it!So much has been written about Jim Lauderdale, that I paused and wondered what I could add with this podcast. He has been all over the world, has been interviewed countless times, has been on TV, and he has his own satellite radio show. They made a film documentary about him, for crying out loud. Jim Lauderdale was looking like a mountain that I could not climb, a race that I dare not attempt. Jim Lauderdale & Roland White, the 1979 album that finally saw release almost 40 years after being made. It would take more than a decade after this recording for Jim's first album to come out. Thankfully, this line of thinking did not last long. I had in hand almost 45 minutes of Jim Lauderdale talking about songwriting, acting, losing his Southern accent, giving a cringe worthy tour story, and in general being his jovial self. It would be criminal to waste the opportunity. Pretty soon, I got in touch with Glenn Dicker of Yep Roc Records and Red Eye Worldwide distributing, and Craig Havighurst, author, journalist and producer of Music City Roots. Both have known and worked with Jim for years. They are a key part of this episode, which includes a healthy portion of music from Jim, especially his latest releases, Time Flies, and Jim Lauderdale & Roland White, the 1979 collaboration that was lost until finally coming to light this year.
