Woody Guthrie once wrote that a song is just “a conversation fixed up to where you can talk it over and over without getting tired of it.”“When you sit down with a couple of friends,” he continued, “and you've all got your guitars parked under a shade tree or in an old kitchen, you aren't trying to show off. … You're just talking. “One guy tells a story with his strings, and the next guy nods his head and matches it with a little lick of his own. It makes the world twice as level and half as steep.”That is a concept that The Flood certainly embraces. And nothing demonstrates it better than this week's podcast, featuring the guys' latest take on the rockin' “Opus One.” This particular musical conversation — taken from the opening moments of last week's rehearsal at the Bowen house — is really saying, “Damn, man, it's good to see y'all again!”Pete's Two-Cents' WorthWoody's old friend and young protégé Pete Seeger also knew a thing or two about that kind of wordless musical chat. “It's an effortless shorthand,” he wrote in his book, Where Have All the Flowers Gone.“You look across the circle and catch an old friend's eye just as the harmony locks into place,” he wrote, “and there's this quiet, shared smile that says, Yes, this is exactly where we're supposed to be. It's the sound of community in its purest form.”Pete said it even better in one of his “Johnny Appleseed Jr.” columns in the good old Sing Out! magazine: “You realize that the song is just a vehicle for the affection in the room. It's a way of saying ‘I'm glad you're here' without having to make a formal speech about it. It fills you up and stays with you long after the instruments are put back in their cases.”Jive TalkSuch wordless wordiness is even better defined in the jazz world, where improvisation is the mother tongue. Musicians might have played a tune a thousand times before, “a melody so old it felt like part of the weather,” Geoff Dyer wrote in 1991 in his seminal But Beautiful: A Book About Jazz in a passage about listening to old friends play.“But they didn't just play it,” he recalled. “They pulled it apart like an old clock to see how it worked from the inside. … It was a language made entirely of nods, shifts in weight, a sudden drop in volume … that told everyone, let's go down this alleyway for a second.“Listening to them,” Dyer remembered, “was like watching people walk through a dark house they'd lived in for 40 years — they knew exactly where the furniture was, so they could dance through the rooms without ever bumping into a thing, even with the lights completely out.”Brain BusinessFamed neurologist Oliver Sacks was fascinated with how music affects the mind. In an essay called “The Common Pursuit,” reflecting on lifelong bonds forged by musicians, he reached a lovely conclusion.“They do not play to impress,” Sacks wrote. “They play to inhabit a space they built together 50 years ago. To sit in a room and witness this is to realize that music is not merely an acoustic phenomenon, but a profound architecture of memory and shared love.”Meanwhile, About This Week's Tune …As reported earlier, “Opus One,” written by Sy Oliver, became a huge late World War II-era hit for Tommy Dorsey's orchestra. Dorsey recorded it as an instrumental on Nov. 14, 1944.The following summer, the signature vocal version was released by Anita O'Day in an all-star session. Drummer Gene Krupa led the big band and trumpeter Roy Eldridge accented O'Day's vocals.For more on the song's history, click here to read the earlier Flood Watch backgrounder.More from This Groove?If today's musical conversation has you wanting more from The Flood's jazzier selections, drop by the free Radio Floodango music streaming service and click into the “Swingin'” channel.

The distinctive sound of the psychedelic era was not just component of the rock music of the period, there was a good bit of folk music which was influenced by the times. That sound did not end with advent of the 1970s and lives on in the work of many artists today. On the next two editions of SORM, we look back to that magical period and forward to today. This week we'll hear some classic music from Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane and Paul Siebel, among others. We'll also hear some contemporary players like In Gowan Ring, Helen Dorothy and The Creaking Tree String Quartet. A little mind-bending music … this week on The Sing Out!

Movie of the Year: 1971The Finale, Part IIThe 1971 Film Finale Podcast: One Champion RemainsThe 1971 film finale podcast brings the Taste Buds' most ambitious bracket season to its definitive conclusion. Ryan, Mike, and Greg have debated, dismissed, and championed their way through a remarkable field — and now eight films remain. In this episode, four Elite Eight matchups collapse into a single champion, and five major awards close out the season before the final verdict arrives.Furthermore, this finale caps a season that has included some of the most provocative, challenging, and enduring films ever made. From Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange to William Friedkin's The French Connection, the 1971 bracket has consistently rewarded listeners willing to sit with difficult, boundary-pushing work. The season also covered Straw Dogs, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, and Dirty Harry — each one generating strong arguments before falling short of the Elite Eight.Additionally, five competitive award categories — Best Sex, Best Violence, Musical Moment, Best Actor, and Best Actress — draw nominees from across the full season. Consequently, this episode stands as the richest and most content-dense installment of the year.ContentsThe Elite Eight MatchupsThe 1971 AwardsWhy the 1971 Film Finale Podcast Still MattersRelated EpisodesFAQThe Elite Eight MatchupsEight films enter. One leaves as the 1971 champion. The Taste Buds structured the Elite Eight around four head-to-head matchups, and each one forces a different kind of critical argument.A Clockwork Orange vs. The DevilsTwo of the year's most transgressive films meet in the first matchup. A Clockwork Orange arrived as a season-long frontrunner — a Kubrick film operating at the height of his formal powers, one that the Taste Buds covered in depth on their dedicated episode. Ken Russell's The Devils, meanwhile, delivers a fever dream of religious hysteria and state violence that stands as one of the most divisive films the Taste Buds have discussed all season. Moreover, this matchup poses a pointed question: which film earns its provocation more honestly? Both demand something from the viewer. However, only one advances.Harold and Maude vs. McCabe and Mrs. MillerHarold and Maude represents the season's most warmly beloved film — a dark comedy about love, death, and radical living that generated some of the most enthusiastic podcast discussion of the year. By contrast, Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller offers a revisionist Western suffused with melancholy and moral exhaustion, its beauty inseparable from its grief. Both films carry passionate advocates among the Taste Buds. Consequently, this matchup ranks among the tightest and most personal bracket debates of the entire season. Above all, it asks whether warmth or ache makes the stronger lasting impression.Wanda vs. The ConformistBarbara Loden's Wanda — a micro-budget American independent masterwork — faces Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist, a visually ravishing Italian political drama. Notably, both films center on characters adrift in systems designed to diminish them. Nevertheless, they arrive at very different emotional endpoints: Wanda drifts, the Conformist spirals. The Taste Buds' arguments in this matchup reveal as much about their own critical values as about the films themselves. In practice, this is the bracket's most purely cinephile debate.The French Connection vs. The Last Picture ShowThe bracket's most commercially dominant film — The French Connection, winner of five Academy Awards including Best Picture — faces Peter Bogdanovich's elegiac The Last Picture Show. In practice, this matchup pits Hollywood's muscular genre filmmaking against its more introspective New Wave ambitions. As a result, the debate cuts to the heart of what 1971 cinema actually achieved. Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle and the dusty streets of Anarene, Texas, represent two entirely different ideas of what a great film should do — and the Taste Buds have strong opinions on which idea wins.The 1971 AwardsBefore the bracket champion is named, the Taste Buds present five awards covering the full sweep of the season. This Movie of the Year 1971 podcast segment features each host nominating the moments they found most memorable, daring, or essential — and the resulting field spans an extraordinary range of films and tones.Best SexThe nominees range from the tender to the violent to the surreal, drawing from three different films and three distinct registers of human sexuality.Jacy and Abilene — The Last Picture ShowThe Pool Party — The Last Picture ShowThe Rape of Christ — The DevilsThe Sex Duel with the Biker Gang — Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongYoung Sweetback and the Sex Worker — Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss SongBest ViolenceThe nominees span the full tonal range of 1971 action filmmaking — from Dirty Harry's iconic bank robbery standoff to the slow, aching finality of McCabe dying alone in the snow.The Car Chase — The French ConnectionHarry Foils a Bank Robbery — Dirty HarryThe Kid Kills the Cowboy — McCabe and Mrs. MillerThe Ludovico Technique — A Clockwork OrangeMcCabe Dies Alone in the Snow — McCabe and Mrs. MillerMusical MomentThe nominees here demonstrate just how varied 1971's soundtrack was — Cat Stevens, Beethoven, and Gene Wilder all make the shortlist.Maude Sings "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" — Harold and MaudeOpening Funeral March — A Clockwork Orange"Pure Imagination" — Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"Singin' in the Rain" — A Clockwork OrangeThe Tango — The ConformistBest Actor The five nominees represent the full range of 1971 male performance — from Hackman's coiled rage to Wilder's heartbreaking wonder. Additionally, this category generated some of the most contested debates in the entire 1971 film podcast season.Warren Beatty — McCabe and Mrs. MillerGene Hackman — The French ConnectionOliver Reed — The DevilsJean-Louis Trintignant — The ConformistGene Wilder —

The conventional wisdom is that history doesn't repeat, it rhymes.

Historian and New York Times bestselling author Jemar Tisby joins Mark Labberton to confront the Supreme Court's 6–3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which has eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and reopened the door to racial gerrymandering across the South. Recorded in the immediate aftermath, the conversation traces the long arc from the Three-Fifths Clause and Dred Scott through Selma to this hour. "This has landed in the black community harder and heavier than a lot of what we've seen during the Trump administration." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Tisby reflects on the history of black disenfranchisement, the cynicism of colorblind jurisprudence, and what remains of multiracial democracy in America. Together they discuss how the legal architecture of Jim Crow reemerges under neutral language, John Roberts's decades-long campaign against the Voting Rights Act, Justice Kagan's umbrella analogy, the suspension of Louisiana's primary, the black church's response, and why this midterm may be the country's last political chance. Episode Highlights "This has landed in the black community harder and heavier than a lot of what we've seen during the Trump administration, and that's saying a lot." "It boggles the mind that folks sitting on the highest court in the land who have been to all these Ivy League schools, have literally decades of experience, can get it so wrong and stand so arrogantly on such faulty reasoning." "Colorblindness only works if you're starting from a level playing field." "These are not good-faith actors, not people wanting a representative democracy, but people wanting to consolidate power, which we call minority rule." "If you can't win on the merits of what you believe, then you have to rig the system so that no one can get you out of office." About Jemar Tisby Jemar Tisby is a New York Times bestselling author, historian, speaker, and professor of history at Simmons College of Kentucky, a historically black college in Louisville.

Fingerstyle guitar is one of the most personal of styles and we'll hear some great players the next two weeks. A couple of recordings served as inspiration for these episodes of The Sing Out! Radio Magazine. Awhile back, Tompkins Square released a collection of demos and outtakes from the great guitarist Duck Baker on a recording called Les Blues Du Richmond, with a wide variety of tunes in many styles. Craft Records has a collection called The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose, featuring guitar and banjo from some great American primitive guitarists and banjo players including John Fahey, Robbie Basho and Peter Lang.

Bob Dylan turns 85 this May — and he's still on the road. On March 31, he'll perform at Emens Auditorium in Muncie, Indiana. But Indiana's connection to his music runs deeper than a tour date. Indianapolis was the home of the legendary blues duo: Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. Dylan has drawn on their music throughout his career, and in a 1968 issue of Sing Out! magazine he made that influence clear. Writing about Scrapper Blackwell, Dylan said: "There is a strong line in all our music that can be traced back directly to Scrapper Blackwell. He was a truly great musician who did deserve more than was ever given him." This week on Cultural Manifesto, explore the influence of Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell on the music of Bob Dylan.

HOST: Hildy Grossman CO-HOST, Jordan Rich Guests: Sachi Badola and Lauren Coye Think you’re too young for lung cancer? Think again! This week, we're joined by two incredible young women who are highlighting the realities and breaking the stigma. Our first guest, Lauren Coye, shares her grueling journey to finally being diagnosed with lung cancer.  After being told she had recurring upper respiratory infections, starting at age 14, Lauren's persistence led to the discovery 10 years later that saved her life. Her story is a testament to the life-saving power of self- advocacy. Our next guest, Sachi Badola, is a pre-med student at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. On top of that, she is taking over the reins to become the producer of Upstage Lung Cancer's 10th annual Sing Out! concert on April 4, 2026. Bringing together eight a cappella groups to sing out about lung cancer, the concert will also be live-streamed and afterwards be available on YouTube and on our website. Both young women continue to raise awareness of lung cancer as Board Members of Upstage Lung Cancer. From the doctor's office to the center stage, we're exploring how the next generation can raise their voices to fund research and demand better care. It's time to listen.

St. Patrick's Day is both a religious holiday and a celebration of Irish history, culture and especially music. Tradition holds that he died on March 17th, possibly in the year 461. Over the following centuries, many legends grew up around Patrick, and he became Ireland's foremost saint. We'll listen to Barde, Altan, Tim O'Brien, and many other bands and musicians.

Traditional folk musicians can't develop their style in a vacuum - they are always influenced by past masters.

This week we conclude our two-part feature “It Don't Mean a Thing...” with a focus on Western swing. Western swing was developed in the dance halls of Texas and in sharp contrast to old-time string bands, Western swing bands employed many more members, including horn sections and multiple fiddlers. These were needed to fill these massive halls with music for dancing. We'll hear classics from The Light Crust Doughboys, Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies and Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. We'll also hear new classics from Deborah Silver, Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel. “Take Me Back to Tulsa” … this week on The Sing Out!
