Marine veteran George Kite shares his account of close combat in Fallujah, the brutal realities of war, and the lifelong impact of PTSD in this week's Urban Valor episode. From growing up poor in South Carolina—sometimes homeless—to enlisting on his 17th birthday, George's journey is one of survival, grit, and raw honesty.He remembers the chaos of the First Battle of Fallujah, including rooftop firefights, mortar attacks, and moments that still haunt him decades later. George opens up about accidentally shooting a combatant, encountering child soldiers, losing friends in battle, and the emotional fallout that followed. His story captures what so many combat veterans face but rarely share publicly.George also describes life after war: working with the Army National Guard, battling depression, and discovering a new purpose by supporting fellow veterans through mental health challenges. From sniper school to urban warfare instructor to DC security assignments, George's Marine Corps career is filled with intense and emotional moments that every American should hear.This is not just a war story. It's a human story. One of courage, trauma, transformation, and the quiet fight that continues long after the battlefield.

A case of two claimants to land, claiming an inheritance to that same land -- to which Rav Nachman says, let the stronger one prevail. Shmuel says the judges have the discretion to award as they see fit. The potential for financial involvement by the parties is also relevant. Also, establishing ownership by witnesses to one's possession (use) of the land. But what about a landlord/sharecropper situation? The owner has to make it clear that the renter's use of the land is not a case of presumptive ownership.

Co-hosts Candace Smith and Jon Stovell speak with Catherine Meeks about her research and writing, including her new book, A Quilted Life: Reflections of a Sharecropper's Daughter (Eerdmans, 2024).

530. Katy Morlas Shannon returns to talk about her children's historical fiction, Sharcropper's Daughter. "Born a sharecropper's daughter on a Louisiana plantation, Frances Darbonne wonders if she will ever escape the rural poverty that has plagued her family for generations. When Frances learns that going to school requires her to abandon the French language she has spoken all her life, she struggles to reconcile her Cajun identity with her desire to read and write. Determined to Americanize its citizens, Louisiana instructs its educators to eradicate this heritage language, stigmatizing the Cajun people and using shame and threats of violence to silence them... Inspired by the author's grandmother, Sharecropper's Daughter vividly portrays a child's experience of World War II and prominently features the Louisiana Maneuvers, the military training of 400,000 troops not far from Frances's home."

Growing up in his hometown of Atlanta, artist/producer Sol Messiah was inundated with the rich and energizing spirit of Hip Hop culture. Getting his start as a breakdancer, Sol Messiah built his reputation as a b-boy before traveling to NYC to join the legendary Rock Steady Crew. Inspired by New York Hip Hop legends, Sol Messiah fell in love with another foundational element of Hip Hop culture: DJing. Spending untold hours mastering the skill, and acquiring the musical knowledge required of the DJ, Sol Messiah was prepared to make the leap into producing records, the next step in his musical journey. A talented and skilled producer, Sol Messiah eventually linked up with Atlanta legend and veteran producer Dallas Austin. For years, Messiah would work alongside Dallas to create a deep catalog filled with timeless tracks for TLC, Madonna, Monica, Boyz II Men and more. At the same time, Messiah would continue to build his reputation as a DJ, securing several club residencies and gaining popularity and acclaim for his classic Sol Messiah Mixtape series. After separating with Austin in 1997 to pursue his own musical path independently, Sol Messiah spent years building an impressive catalog and further established himself as a go-to producer for a wide range of acts. Some of his most notable credits from this era include “Rain” and “Picture Perfect” from Chamillionaire's platinum album The Sound Of Revenge, Nappy Roots' “Roll Again”, David Banner's “Ridin'” featuring Talib Kweli & Dead Prez as well as Dead Prez's “Hell Yeah”, featuring Jay-Z. Soon, Sol Messiah would embark on a fruitful musical partnership with a fierce lyricist named Sa-Roc. Together, Sa-Roc and Messiah have released over a dozen projects thus far, including Sa-Roc's groundbreaking 2020 debut on Rhymesayers, The Sharecropper's Daughter. As a duo, Sa-Roc and Sol Messiah have amassed a global reach, touring internationally and rocking crowds across continents. They have performed at the legendary Jazz Cafe in London, performed live for BBC and have shared the stage with luminaries such as Common, The Roots and Jay Electronica. On his latest album, GOD CMPLX, Sol Messiah connects with some of the finest MCs in the game to create a collection of head-bopping Hip Hop music that's both innovative and inspiring. Featuring guest performances from KXNG Crooked, Sa-Roc, Evidence of Dilated Peoples, Locksmith, Stic.Man of Dead Prez, Che Noir, Lyric Jones, Mickey Factz, Cambatta, Planet Asia, TriState, Narubi Selah, Murs, Da BackWudz, Slug of Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, and Baba Zumbi of Zion I, GOD CMPLX is a powerful and engaging project. The album comes out swinging with the title track, “GOD CMPLX,” which features KXNG Crooked and Sa-Roc trading slick and fiery bars over an epic, grandiose beat. Showcasing the versatility of Sol Messiah's sound, “Limitless” finds Evidence getting busy over a dramatic, piano & string-infused track. From the brassy, drum-heavy sound of “The Hard Way” (feat. Che Noir, Sa-Roc & Lyric Jones) to the haunting vocal harmonies of “Sol Supreme” (feat. Cambatta), GOD CMPLX is not only full of bangers, it's also a diverse gallery of sounds that serves as a testament to Sol Messiah's skills as both a producer and a visionary. The journey that Sol Messiah began so many years ago, as a youth discovering Hip Hop in Atlanta, has no ending in sight. With his gifted ear and fierce dedication to Hip Hop culture, he continues to use his craft to build his own body of work as well as help maintain and elevate the culture of Hip Hop as a whole.

Disparities in academic achievement across racial groups exist at all levels, and they aren't closing. No one really knows how to narrow the gaps, which defy easy diagnosis. But experts say that even if there aren't “silver bullets,” there is hope.

In this episode, UVA Law 3L Marley Peters and I continue our discussion with Brittany Farr, Assistant Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. We're discussing her article, Breach By Violence, which is forthcoming in the UCLA Law Review. It analyzes the use of private law by sharecroppers and tenant farmers in the Jim Crow South to address violent breaches of contract by landlords. To hear the full interview, make sure to also listen to the prior episode, Episode 3.  Farr is a scholar of private law and race. With more than a decade of interdisciplinary training, her research draws on history, legal theory, and cultural studies to theorize how marginalized populations have availed themselves of otherwise inhospitable legal regimes. In particular, her research focuses on enslaved and free African Americans' use of contract law during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and interrogates the ways in which contract law mediated African Americans' relationship to bodily autonomy, economic freedom, and legal agency both during and after slavery.   Brittany Farr NYU Homepage: https://its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=profile.overview&personid=57053 Interview with Samuel James (S.

Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12 —the first three verses there —Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon --------------------------------------------------- #realtalk #face #instagram #amour #take #couple #dance #dancers #vogue #voguedqnce #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing

WRITER/POETWorking as a Social Work Trainer while moonlighting as a freelance art and music critic, Rux became a founding member of Hezekiah Walker's Love Fellowship gospel choir and later found himself influenced by the Lower East Side poetry and experimental theater scene, collaborating with poets Miguel Algarin, Bob Holman, Jayne Cortez, Sekou Sundiata, Ntozake Shange; experimental musicians David Murray, Mal Waldron, Butch Morris, Craig Harris, Jeanne Lee, Leroy Jenkins, Odetta, Steve Earle, Jim Carroll as well as experimental theater artists Laurie Carlos, Robbie McCauley, Ruth Maleczech, Lee Breuer, Reza Abdoh and others.RECORDING ARTIST/PERFORMING ARTISTHis CD Rux Revue was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by the Dust Brothers, Tom Rothrock, and Rob Schnapf and voted one of the top ten alternative music CDs of 1998 (New York Times).

His fourth studio CD, Good Bread Alley, was released by Thirsty Ear Records, and his fifth Homeostasis (CD Baby) was released in May 2013.

[REBROADCAST FROM May 21, 2021] On his third album, Sharecropper's Son, blues singer Robert Finley recalls the sounds and stories of his childhood in Louisiana. After becoming legally blind and retiring from his job in carpentry, Finley released his studio debut at age 62 in 2016. The new album was produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, who also produced his 2017 follow-up. Finley joins us for a "Listening Party."   This segment was picked by our Producer Simon Close.

On this episode we're discussing talking plants and smart insects with entomologist and author Dr. Joe Lewis. Lewis spent his career in entomology with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service at the Tifton Campus of the University of Georgia. It was there that he worked to unlock the secrets of how plants and insects communicate with one another, particularly how plants use SOS signals to recruit beneficial insects to their defense. Based on those groundbreaking insights, Lewis and his colleagues developed holistic and sustainable approaches to pest management within agricultural systems. In 2008, along with his colleagues John A, Pickett and James H. Tumlinson, Lewis received the prestigious Wolf Prize in Agriculture. Although Lewis has published papers in many academic and scientific journals, he's just published his first book for Acres U.S.A. It's call A New Farm Language: How a Sharecropper's Son Discovered a World of Talking Plants, Smart Insects, and Natural Solutions. The book tells the story of Joe Lewis's humble beginnings as the son of an illiterate Mississippi sharecropper and the hardscrabble, yet happy childhood he spent raising chickens and growing cotton. It was on that small, rented farm, which had no electricity or indoor plumbing, that Lewis developed a fondness for nature that would set him on an unlikely path toward becoming an eminent scientist and innovator. More than a memoir, A New Farm Language is a manifesto and mission statement confronting the abuses of industrial agriculture and defending the value of strong communities and natural solutions.    

We had the pleasure of interviewing Robert Finley over Zoom video! “The greatest living soul singer,” Robert Finley, has released his career defining new album on Easy Eye Sound. A soulful masterpiece written by Finley and co-written by Dan Auerbach, it features blues veterans and studio legends who have worked with everyone from Elvis to Wilson Pickett. Finley appeared on NPR's Morning Edition today, discussing his new record and remarkable story with Vince Pearson. The piece reflected on the power of perseverance and how Finley has found musical success, after many decades of hard work.He debuted a new music video for the track, “Make Me Feel Alright,” which premiered exclusively with SPIN.com, who also interviewed Finley about his new album and proclaimed it, “one of the finest albums of the year.” Reflecting on the track, Finley stated, “‘Make Me Feel Alright' is about not looking for love, but for companionship. Sometimes you want to find someone to have a good time without judgment or baggage. There's nothing like going to a club and having a good time. You meet someone, have a fun night and then go your separate ways with your own problems at the end of the night but still experience love in the moment.”Sharecropper's Son received high praise from tastemaker media including Rolling Stone who described Finley's vocals as the perfect combination of “weathered and expressive.”  Mojo described the album as “pure Hill Country hypnotic boogie.” AVClub claimed, “Finely has a voice so distinctive and compelling that it can't be ignored.” GRAMMY.com discussed how Finley defies genres stating, “Finley's mesmerizing voice... defies neat categories.” Under The Radar said, “There's an undeniable element of authenticity with Finley's music and ‘Country Boy' is no exception.” Before his rapid ascent, Finley overcame a divorce, house fires, an automobile accident, and losing his sight in his 60s, to finally pursue his musical dream and become an overnight soul sensation. Since the release of his Dan Auerbach produced debut, Goin' Platinum, he's toured the world, received critical acclaim, and even made the semi finals of America's Got Talent. His latest album tells his life's story and is rooted in the classic sounds of southern soul, country, rhythm and blues. With songwriting by Finley, Auerbach, Bobby Wood, and contributions from respected country songwriter Pat McLaughlin, Sharecropper's Son also features an all star band including guitar expertise from Auerbach himself, Kenny Brown, Russ Pahl and Billy Sanford. They are joined by other notables: Bobby Wood, Gene Chrisman, Nick Movshon, Eric Deaton, Dave Roe and Sam Bacco. The fire behind the conflagrant performances on Sharecropper's Son is ignited by Finley, who has cited a range of vocal influences, including Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, Elvis, James Brown and The Beatles, all inspiring his genre diverse and formidable vocal approach, which take centre stage and encapsulate his remarkable life. Finley's tales of pain and joy uplift as he shares his belief that you are never too young to dream and never too old to live.Sharecropper's Son is out now on Easy Eye Sound.

Robert Finley says he's gone from the cotton field to the Beverly Hills. At the age of 67, the veteran musician is finally earning some long-overdue attention on account of Sharecropper's Son, his new record that beautifully chronicles his childhood in the fields of rural Louisiana, the semi-recent loss of his eyesight, his unflappable faith and various other aspects of his incredible life. The autobiographical album, which was produced by Dan Auerbach, of the Black Keys, has received oodles of critical acclaim en route to landing Finley on the cover of Spin and on stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre alongside Blues Traveler earlier this month. Though he's in a great place at the moment, it wasn't always easy for him. Not even close. Recently, Finley spoke to My First Band host Tyler Maas about his newfound success and the long, arduous and unlikely road that brought him to this prominent point. Over the course of about an hour, the singer spoke about growing up as the actual son of a sharecropper, his years as a builder, his path back to music when life threw him some curveballs and the opportunities that were born out of especially challenging circumstances. Finley did most of the talking in this one, but we wouldn't want it any other way. Get ready for some amazing stories about Finley's adolescence in the 1950s and '60s, the memorable walk to buy his first guitar, being discovered and appearing on America's Got Talent, and the process of making an album that both entertains listeners and serves as an insight into his personal history. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Lakefront Brewery. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify and wherever else you get podcasts. You can also listen to rebroadcasts of previous My First Band episodes on WMSE every Wednesday from noon to 12:30 p.m. CST. Music used in this episode comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and Robert Finley ("Sharecropper's Son").

Robert Finley's new album “Sharecropper's Son” is a powerhouse soul album that draws on Delta Blues, R&B and greasy funk. Working again in the studio with the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, the singer, who's debut came out at the age of 62, delves into his story growing up as a young sharecropper in Louisianna. Robert's path included stints in the army, leading gospel groups, becoming a carpenter, losing his sight to glaucoma, and a late start to a successful recording career. Robert and I talked about all of this as well as the process of creating his new album in Nashville. Enjoy, share the episode, and don't forget to leave us a review, and subscribe.

This week, we journey to northern Louisiana for a unique conversation with sprightly blues and southern rock singer Robert Finely, who began making music in his cotton-growing family in the 1960s, and has been rediscovered and empowered through his remarkable partnership with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. His funky and cheeky comeback album Goin' Platinum (which sounds like a lost Motown gem) came in 2017 and in May of 2021, he celebrated the release of the deeply personal follow-up Sharecropper's Son. As you can hear in the taping, even in his late sixties, Finley is a playful force to be reckoned with and isn't shy about sharing how faith and music have gotten him through decades of tragedy and hardship. In 2019 he even reached the semi-finals of America's Got Talent. Growing up in a religious home where blues and soul music was rarely allowed to be heard, Finley worked as an army helicopter repairman and professional carpenter for many years, often keeping his keen musical ideas to himself. He may now be legally blind, but the always-sharp dressed Finley (he loves a snakeskin jacket) was spotted busking on the streets of Helena, Arkansas and the blues-obsessed Auerbach was smitten with Finley's raw, swampy Jimi Hendrix meets James Brown tone. Both of his critically-applauded releases subsequently came out on Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound, which has become a home for previously unheralded black artists like Yola, Jimmy “Duck” Holmes, and Leo Bud Welch.

Juneteenth commemorates the day (June 19, 1865) when Union General Gordon Grainger announced General Order No.3 proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas. Celebrations of the date happened at the time, but eventually took a back seat to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. With the advent of Black Lives Matter, new emphasis has been placed on the holiday … and we’ll be celebrating this week as well. We'll share music from Reggie Harris, Eric Bibb, Robert Finley, Our Native Daughters, Sweet Honey in the Rock and many more. It’s Juneteenth ... this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.

Артур Ямпольский очередной раз делится списком новой музыки. Начнем с калифорнийского музыканта Nick Waterhouse и его пластинки «Promenade Blue», послушаем две композиции из альбома. Еще один калифорнийский вокалист и гитарист Chris Cain представил студийный альбом «Raisin’ Cain», который вышел 9 апреля на лейбле Alligator Records. Bob Corritore & Friends записали очередной блюзовый джем-сейшен – альбом «Spider In My Stew». Дальше по списку представители гаражного рок-ривайвл группа The Black Keys и их альбом «Delta Kream». John Hiatt & Jerry Douglas Band - скорее неожиданное сотрудничество яркого представителя современного американского течения сингер-сограйтеров в сочетании с музыкальным инструментом добро. Послушаем один из заглавных синглов их альбома «Leftover Feelings». И еще 4 композиции из альбома «Sharecropper’s Son» в исполнении Robert Finley, который претендует на звание одной из лучших работ 2021 года.

Our guest for today's podcast is Rendel Solomon, Strategic Advisor to Goalsetter and Founder of One Stock One Future.  I sought out Rendel after watching his TedXChicago Talk called “Sharecropper to Shareholder.”  One word comes to mind when I think about Rendel, his vision for the future, and his selflessness to make his vision a reality: PROFOUND.   Rendel is the rare example of someone who has actually left high finance and a high paying job in private equity in his pursuit to change the trajectory of future generations: the mission for One Stock One Future is to make 1 million underserved youths into public company shareholders.  Again, I'll say it again: PROFOUND.   Joining me on this podcast as guest co-host is Brenda Chia, Board Co-Chair and Founding Board Member of AAAIM.  What a treat it was for Brenda and me to interview someone of Rendel's caliber and character.  We were awe struck as we do believe Rendel will become known as a “generational leader of our time” one day.   Without further ado, here is our conversation with Rendel Solomon.

Think it's too late in life to follow your creative dreams? Then let Robert Finley show you how it's done. Over six decades as a student, a soldier, a carpenter, and a family man, he made sure the blues remained a part of the fabric of his life. But when he was forced to retire due to failing eyesight, Robert decided that it was time to take his music seriously. An impromptu jam session led Robert to a deal with Fat Possum Records, and the beginning of his new career as a recording star at sixty-one years of age. Join Nick as Robert reminisces about his amazing life and the lessons learned along the way, a life that has taken him from rural Louisiana, to touring the world with legendary session musicians, to the upcoming release of his new album "Sharecropper's Son".   HIGHLIGHTS:   [02:01] Robert looks back on the low budget recording of his first album in 1999 [03:10] Robert was born and raised in northern Louisiana, the heartland of the Southern blues [04:32] Robert credits his religious upbringing for giving him an open mind about faith and how it applies to the everyday world [09:12] When he was a boy, Robert used the money his father gave him for shoes to buy a guitar [11:55] As a 10 year old kid, Robert was routinely exposed to loud blues music from the juke joint across the street from his church [13:46] Robert has always been able to use the Bible to justify being his own person and not following the crowd [16:54] Losing his father at 17 drove Robert to joining the Army, despite losing many friends to the Vietnam war [21:11] Robert has friends who were there with him from the early days, but he's learned that some people become haters when you make it in life [22:42] Robert's musical talent was constantly being rewarded during his military career [31:18] In 2015 Robert realized he was losing his sight, but even after being diagnosed with glaucoma he persevered [32:21] When Robert got out of the military, he started a gospel group with his mother that performed live on the radio [35:18] Robert's dad was a carpenter who built the house he grew up in back in the 1950s, a house where Robert's daughter and grandson are living now [36:53] After his second marriage ended, Robert found he could travel about the country easier because he only had to look out for himself [39:27] Gathering a crowd during a jam session in Arkansas in 2015, Robert wound up playing a 12 hour set for appreciative crowds [48:55] Tim Duffy of Music Maker Relief Foundation saw Robert performing, and after recording some of his songs, introduced him to the people at Fat Possum Records [50:37] While Robert was recording "Age Don't Mean A Thing", his first record with Fat Possum, he was attending a school for the blind, to learn how to work with his diminishing eyesight [51:35] After fellow label mate Dan Auerbach got Robert to sing on his musical book project, Auerbach decided to record and produce Robert's second album "Goin' Platinum!" in three days [56:46] The session players who worked with Robert on "Goin' Platinum" had such a great time in the studio, they came out of retirement to go on tour with him   Follow our social media channels for last-minute announcements and guest reveals @theradicalpod on Instagram and Facebook.

On his third album, Sharecropper’s Son, blues singer Robert Finley recalls the sounds and stories of his childhood in Louisiana. After becoming legally blind and retiring from his job in carpentry, Finley released his studio debut at age 62 in 2016. The new album was produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, who also produced his 2017 follow-up. Finley joins us for a Listening Party.

Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!!  Join us for this wonderful look at the life of Robert Finley, noted Blues artist who's latest album, Sharecropper's Son, was produced by Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) on Dan's Easy Eye Sound label.  But Robert, despite his 67 years, only recently came to a level of prominence, which makes his story even more compelling.  Basically growing up on the Church stage in the gospel choir, Robert's rather challenging childhood and upbringing (his family were Louisiana sharecroppers in the Jim Crow era South) only gave him more perspective on life -- and he draws on those experiences to this day in his stunning performances.  Come and jump on the Roadcase bus and learn about this amazing and charismatic artist, Robert Finley.  It's a great ride!!    For more information: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepodTo support Roadcase on Patreon, please visit: http://www.patreon.com/roadcasepod Contact: info@roadcasepod.comTheme music:  "Eugene" (Instrumental) by Waltzer

Brad brings back Jarf, Tierney & Dr. Anna Peppard to discuss WandaVision.Because he is very lucky, Brad got to listen to a preview of Robert Finley's new album Sharecropper's Son, to be released May 21, 2021 on Easy Eye Sound. It really darn good.

The Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 is sourced from select vineyards throughout Oregon. Grower's Guild is the affordable line of wines from Owen Roe Winery, which David O'Reilly owned. And that is why the Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 is chosen as CheapWineFinders St Patrick's Day wine.Owen Roe was an Irish Rebel commander from the 1500s and 1600s, and David O'Reilly has an Irish name. I am sure there are other affordable Irish-related wines available, but I couldn't find one at local shops. Ireland has more of a beer and whiskey history.Vintage Wine Estates purchased Owen Roe Winery in 1999, which has a whole portfolio of wines, and David O'Reilly now serves as the head of winemaking for the Northwest coast. Owen Roe's value-priced wines had been the Sharecropper line of wine, and that brand seems to be replaced by the Grower's Guild wines.Owen Roe wines featured vineyards in Yakima Valley in Washington and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The Grower's Guild wines do not seem to be exclusively sourced from Willamette Valley but from "dedicated growers up and down the state's best regions." Willamette Valley gets all the wine writers' attention, but there are grape-growing regions all along Oregon's coast.I always like Owen Roe Winery because even though they are a producer of excellent, splurge-worthy, they always also produced top-quality affordable (under $20, the Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 was found for $16). Not every high-end winery has paid attention to value-priced wine drinkers.An interesting feature of Oregon Pinot Noir is that wines selling for about $40 and under have screw-cap enclosures, and the $40 plus wine have corks. I think more wine regions should follow this example; a typical $40 and under wine is not going to be cellared, and a screw-top is far easier to deal with. Most value-priced wines have inexpensive corks or cork substitutes. They are nothing to get excited about; give me a decent screw cap.The technical notes for the Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 do not give much information. They mention that the spring and fall had cool weather and the summer was warm, and that is exactly what you look for when growing Pinot Noir grapes. The wine was aged in oak, but other details are given. The alcohol content is 13%.Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 Tasting NotesThe color is a very see-thru garnet red. The nose is bright, ripe cherry, sharp spice, vanilla, herbs, crushed dried fall leaves, strong black coffee, and tea. It is full of interesting aromas; if I kept my nose in the glass, it would offer up additional scents, but on to the taste portion.Often with value-priced Pinot Noir, you would describe them as soft, silky, and smooth, but the Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 has that and another dark side and brooding. It tastes black cherry, exotic spice, bitter dark chocolate, licorice, and ripe plum.The mid-palate adds non-sweet Dr. Pepper, a sharp slap of rougher-edged spice, raspberry, and a salty, cashew sensation. The tannins are sweet, and the acidity gives this Pinot Noir a bright, lively appeal.The SummaryThe Grower's Guild Oregon Pinot Noir 2019 is a solid example of an Oregon Pinot Noir.I know the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir gets all the press, but in this price range except growers and a talented winemaker matter more.

🔴 Comenzamos #Fitz43, tomándonos un licor 43 con Cacaolat , el mítico licor dulce elaborado con 43 variedades de hierbas. El 43 un número es un número muy británico, en el año 43 se fundó Londres, 43 catedrales tiene la iglesia de Inglaterra, 43 versos el poema” Beowulf “ y 43 son el número de obras que escribió William Shakespeare —38 obras de teatro y 5 poemas narrativos—, Nosotros también comentamos la entrevistas de los duques Sussex y nuestros políticos embelesados en tácticas y estrategias, y la cultura del espectáculo. Por otra parte Flynn defendió sus atributos con sus garras, compresible actitud, al final los peor parados casi fuimos nosotros. Empezamos nuestra selección musical con una banda de psicodelia noruega Orions Belte el Cinturón de Orión y “Lotus” un tema instrumental, un viaje sideral y lisérgico, que sirve de adelanto del segundo disco de la banda, “Villa Amorini”, que toma el nombre de un club que comenzó como un lugar elegante para cenar en los ochenta y evolucionó a un club extravagante con cientos de artistas y DJs en camisas coloridas y lentes demasiado grandes. A Julien Baker , Lucy Dacus y Phoebe Bridgers como boygenius , los Crosby, Stills & Nash del siglo XXI como se ha bautizado ya desde algunos medios. De las tres faltaba por sonar en el programa Lucy Dacus que ha vuelto a demostrar una vez más su enorme talento compositivo con el estreno de ‘Thumbs‘, su imponente y descarnado nuevo single, que, narra el reencuentro (real) entre un amigo de Lucy y su padre genético, tras llevar más de un lustro sin verse las caras. Nos vamos a Italia 🇮🇹con Andrea Laszlo De Simone, un músico peculiar con un aspecto cercano a Frank Zappa muy poco prolífico con sólo un par de discos en su haber. Compartimos uno de sus temas más memorables “Immensità” , pura selección gourmet, estamos ante un músico inclasificable ,que de alguna manera evoca a esa música italiana de los 70 que tanto nos gusta. Había tocado en las calles, tras volar helicópteros en el Ejército de los EEUU y de pasar media vida como carpintero. Cuando Robert Finley comenzó a quedarse ciego surgió la idea de recuperar su sueño de toda la vida, ser músico. Se presentó al "America's Got Talent" donde sorprendió a los jurados y audiencia. El veterano músico, lanza ahora su tercer álbum de estudio. “Sharecropper's Son” la continuación de 'Goin' Platinum!' de 2017. El nuevo LP vuelve a emparejar a Finley con el aclamado productor Dan Auerbach. Según informó Rolling Stone Magazin, el anuncio del lanzamiento llegó con la canción: "Souled Out on You", una balada acompañada al piano, lenta, que evoca la característica canción "I put a spell on you" de Screamin Jay Hawkins de 1956. Nos vamos a Glasgow, con una debutante Lizzie Reid que acaba sacar su primer EP con siete canciones bajo el titulo “Cubicle”, folk de toda la vida, una gran voz y una guitarra , compartimos la canción “Company car” La vida de Elza Soares parece el delirio de algún guionista de culebrones: abusos, violencia marital, accidentes, tragedias, exilios. Cuenta la leyenda que, en 1953, flaca y llevando un vestido de su madre ajustado con imperdibles, se presentó a un concurso de aficionados que presentaba Ary Barroso en Radio Tupi. El compositor de “Aquarela do Brasil” solía tomar el pelo a los participantes y preguntó mordaz a Elza de qué planeta venía. Su respuesta: “del mismo lugar que usted, maestro. Del Planeta Hambre”. Y ganó. Elza, a instancias de su padre, se casó a los doce años con un hombre que meses antes había intentado abusar sexualmente de ella. Pronto da a luz a su primer hijo. A los quince, volvería a estar embarazada, pero este chico moriría de hambre a una edad temprana. Ahora con 90 años lanza “Nos” en el día de la mujer porque como dice en una de sus ultimas canciones “Quiero cantar hasta el final”. ▶▶46:37, Comentamos “Nuevo orden” la polémica película de Michel Franco, El mexicano habitual de los festivales de cine, nos cuenta qué podría pasar si los más desgraciados y furiosos entre los desfavorecidos de su país se organizaran en revuelta armada contra las "cada más insensibles clases privilegiadas". La película genera perplejidad por las intenciones del director, que nunca quedan claras, y por la imprecisa lectura ideológica de lo que muestra. “No quería dar mensajes ni educar, porque el cine no sirve para eso. Mis convicciones políticas no son importantes. La ambigüedad de la película es deliberada según Franco, quiso que todo fuera tan indefinido como la pintura abstracta con la que empieza su filme, obra del artista mexicano Omar Rodriguez-Graham. Su título es más ilustrativo: Solo los muertos han visto el final de la guerra.

A-side/B-side is a biweekly album review podcast hosted by Sam Ives and Laura Koch, covering one album for each "side" of the cast. The A-side segment explores in-depth a well-known, mainstream album, while the B-side brings discussion on an album you may not have ever heard before. Each cast also features a changing cast of co-hosts to bring new perspectives into the discussions. General vibes, thematic influences, lyrical analysis - these things and more are all covered on the A-side/B-side podcast. On this week's episode, the last of the semester, Laura talks with Paul Andrews and Vedant Akhauri about "Rhythm Nation: 1814" by Janet Jackson and Sam brings Carolyn Langer on to share insight on Sa-Roc's "The Sharecropper's Daughter." Both albums contain rich, socially conscious lyricism and heavy themes; one is a bona fide classic and the other may very well be in some years' time.

Sa-Roc’s latest release, ‘The Sharecropper’s Daughter,’ is KEXP DJ Gabriel Teodros’ favorite hip-hop album of 2020. Teodros spoke with Sa-Roc about her song, “Forever." She says her goal for the song was to champion “the individual, particularly individuals that didn’t see themselves reflected within media imagery, or if they saw themselves reflected, it was in a negative light.”  “Forever" is a song about self-love, but it also explicitly points out that the scars on her wrists are from self-harm. Sa-Roc says it’s an issue that’s not discussed in all communities and her fans responded. “As a Black woman who experienced self-harm, that’s rare or not talked about. So a lot of Black women were coming up to me and saying, ‘Thank you for sharing this, I thought I was the only one.’ Or, ‘My daughter had been experiencing this and I didn’t know how to deal with it because I thought it was something that happened outside of our community.'” Read about another song from the album, "The Black Renaissance (feat. Black Thought)," on KEXP's Song of the Day feature. Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sa-Roc - "The Black Renaissance (feat. Black Thought)" from the 2020 album The Sharecropper's Daughter on Rhymesayers. The first time Sa-Roc met Black Thought of The Roots, he was pulling her up on stage at the 2014 A3C Hip Hop Festival in front of tens of thousands of people.  “We had a mutual friend who’s close to him and had been sharing music or whatever," the Atlanta-based MC remembered toHipHopDX. "He was anticipating meeting us there and Thought, being the Hip Hop icon who went through the fire and came up doing cyphers and freestyles, he completely believed in making sure an MC is up to par with going through that cold trial-by-fire thing. The impromptu performance set the stage for the collaboration on today's Song of the Day. She told ABC Australia: "I knew as soon as I started writing this album, I wanted Black Thought to feature and when [producer] Sol Messiah showed me this track, I was like, 'This is the one.' I have such high regard for Black Thought as an MC and how he elevates lyricism to an extent that's really not seen within the mainstream industry. So, we got on the track, we recorded in the studio, and just went crazy: back and forth bar for bar. So, this is lyricism at its finest."

In this new podcast, Rendel Solomon '05BUS shares his story and his mission. His great-grandparents were sharecroppers, picking cotton for meager wages. Nearly 70 years later, Rendel bought his 8-year-old niece shares in public companies, creating a new family legacy. Now, through his non-profit One Stock One Future, Rendel is on a mission to instill hope and turn 1 million underserved youth into empowered shareholders.

“...rather inspire truth than entertain you.” If you’re looking for the stereotypical female rap artist that’s more about image than content, this week’s episode isn’t it as Sa-Roc raps “I’m more widely known for my hippocampus than my hips and thighs” from her latest drop, “The Sharecropper’s Daughter”. There’s quite a bit to unpack with this album, as she invites us in to her own struggles and experiences, and ties it in with generational trauma inherited through family. Each vulnerable track is accompanied with a strong comeback, leaving the listener questioning how she didn’t succumb to the challenges. What is “generational trauma”? How does she stand out from other rappers that she refers to as “plastic and freshly augmented”? Brandon and Matt cover as much as we could in this week’s episode of the Rap Thought Pod!Check out more here!Apple PodcastSpotifyInstagramTwitter______________________________________________________Music by: BlueysportInstagram: blueysport

Major James Capers, Jr. is the son of a Sharecropper who was falsely convicted for a crime and fled to another state. Capers grew up in a time that racism ran rampant and the Jim Crow era was in full swing, but that did not stop him from achieving one extraordinary accomplishment after another throughout a storied career in the United States Marine Corps. His memoir, Faith Through the Storm, offers an in-depth journey of Major Capers’ life as a young Black American before, during, and after his service. From trauma, to triumph, to tragedy and heroism on the streets of America and the jungles of Vietnam, Major Capers’ story is the kind that legends are made of. Major Capers became the first African-American Marine to receive a battlefield commission while in 3rd Force Recon. He was the first African- American Marine Officer featured on a Marine Recruitment Poster. His incredible courage and leadership led to being inducted into the Commando Hall of Honor for special forces, receiving the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart (with 4 gold stars). His nomination for the Medal of Honor has been renewed. But above all his achievements, Major Capers is most of all a loving husband and father who now lives with the memory of a son who died in his arms and the love of his life who died shortly after. His nonprofit, The Gary Capers Foundation, was launched in their honor.In this episode of American Snippets, Major Capers shares raw and real stories of love, loss, and sacrifice both in and out of service. He talks freely about what the flag means to him, the men he lost in Vietnam, and the woman who stood by his side through all of it.

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.

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s beautiful 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, two Grammy Award winning old time musicians and an up and coming folk/blues sensation perform live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park Craft Village. Featured on this special episode are Dom Flemons, Don Edwards, and Jerron Paxton. One of the unique experiences for visitors to the Ozark Folk Center is the intimate matinee performances by our guest musicians. The shows are a unique way for musicians and guests share a time and space much different than a traditional indoor performance venue. There are often Q &A sessions, jokes, stories and of course, the occasional request from an audience member that make these sets so popular. These performances take place in the backdrop of the Ozark Folk Center State Park Craft Village, a large outdoor area, home to over 20 artisans who demonstrate traditional and contemporary craftsmanship on site. Nestled in the center of the Craft Village is an old wooden covered stage. The area seats about 50 people but is always overflowing with people for the matinee sets by our guest artists. Dom Flemons is a Grammy Award winning musician & singer-songwriter. Carrying on the songster tradition, Flemons strives to mix traditional music forms with a contemporary approach, to create new sounds that will appeal to wider audiences. Flemons co-found the Carolina Chocolate Drops, an African-American string band that won a Grammy for its 2010 album Genuine Negro Jig. Today, he tours throughout the United States and internationally as “The American Songster.  One of America’s best loved and most enduring cowboy singers, Don Edwards is indeed an American treasure. His love and passion for traditional cowboy songs is second to none and has earned him a fan base worldwide. He knows the songs, the stories, and even some of the old trails that made the old West famous. Accompanied by his trusty guitar, Don takes us on a trip back in time when cowboy singers and songs echoed through the trails, taverns, and cattle drive camps of yesterday. Jerron "Blind Boy" Paxton is an American musician from Los Angeles. A vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Paxton's style draws from blues and jazz music before World War II and was influenced by Fats Waller and "Blind" Lemon Jefferson. According to Will Friedwald in the Wall Street Journal, Paxton is "virtually the only music-maker of his generation—playing guitar, banjo, piano and violin, among other implements—to fully assimilate the blues idiom of the 1920s and '30s, the blues of Bessie Smith and Lonnie Johnson." In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Adrian Parks performing the classic song “Under the Double Eagle,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. From his series entitled “Fine Fiddlers of the Ozarks,” old time and Ozark fiddle aesthete Roy Pilgrim profiles the legendary Ozark fiddler Uncle Dick Hutchinson. This installment features archival recordings of the classic fiddle tunes “Christmas Eve, Judge Parker Take Your Shackles Off, Hell on the Nine Mile, and Sharecropper’s Blues.”

As the son of a Noxubee County sharecropper, Aubrey Freshour learned to be self-sufficient at a young age. During harvest time, he and his six siblings would pick cotton after they got home from school. Then it was time to do the chores and finish their homework by the light of a coal-oil lamp. In this episode, Freshour recalls how his family grew their own food and cured their own meats. In the 1940s, living in the country meant finding creative ways to have fun. He remembers how they would swim during the summers, hold impromptu dances and spend New Year’s Eve serenading the neighbors. As a teenager, Freshour looked for opportunities to make extra money. He remembers helping to build a new highway near his house and the primitive roadbuilding equipment they used.  Photo: Mississippi Dept. of Archives and History

Genealogist, Ms. Bertha,  Seed For Deed, Land Grabbing During Post- Reconstruction. In 1875, developers began selling The Serenola land to the slavery survivors who were once in bondage on the plantation. Miraculously,  250 acres that were sold from 1875 through 1885 were purchased by five black families. The freedmen and their families included: Harrison Lynch (1835-1916), with his wife Hannah and their four children; Mack Williams (1825-1898), with his wife Sally and their four children; minister Washington West (1853-1942), with his wife Nelly and their two children; Jerry Gregg (1845-1920), with his wife Jane and their five children; and Bina Gregg, a widow (1805-1896). During the early 1900s, West family members established Minnie Hill Baptist Church, located on the old road. After Washington West retired as pastor of Serenola Baptist Church, which he helped found in 1885, he attended the Minnie Hill Church until his death. That church was renamed Trinity Missionary Baptist Church in 1992.   The last of the Slavery Survivors and landowners from the Serenola plantation  died in 1942. The main house and the slavery quarters no longer exist, but the surroundings remain much as they appeared in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A dirt road once known as Rocky Point Road, with its canopy of oak trees, still runs through what was the plantation. It became a public highway in 1889, and is now S.W. 17th Terrace.
