They discuss everything from Ryan Adams covering 1989 to Springsteen's inspiration from Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

Martha Wainwright is a key member of the Wainwright/McGarrigle clan, all of them big favourites of ours. She's currently on her 20th anniversary tour and looks back here at the first shows she ever saw and played which involves … … growing up in a folk dynasty in Montreal. … the sight of Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen, backing singers on Leonard Cohen's I'm Your Man tour, “who made me want to be onstage too”. … the story of ‘Matapedia', the song Kate McGarrigle wrote when an old boyfriend thought she was her teenage daughter. … her first shows playing Elvis, Dylan and Woody Guthrie songs on the coffeehouse circuit. … singing with her brother Rufus and her cousins with Kate & Anna McGarrigle at folk festivals. … onstage at the Roches' Christmas shows in New York. … the time her brother stole the show over Emmylou Harris: “I thought I want that kind of attention!” … seeing Pink Floyd's The Wall in a Montreal hockey stadium, aged 9 – “a very marking experience”. … the songs of her mother's she always plays: “I'm obsessed with her legacy”.

“The books of the Holy Bible never say but one time just exactly what God is, but in three little words it pours out a hundred million college educations and says, ‘God Is Love.' And that is the only real definite answer to ten thousand wild queries and questions that I my own self have tossed at my Bible. That is the only really sensible, easy, honest, warm, plain, quick, and clear answer I found - when I was ready to throw so-called fearful, cowardly, thieving, poisoning, religion out my trash door. It was those three words that made not only religion, but also several other sorts of superstitious fears and hatreds in me meet one very quick death: God is Love. Love is the only God that I will ever believe in.” - Woody Guthrie
Artist Pam Glick is the quintessential gritty New York artist. Born in Albany and raised partly on an aristocrat's estate in England, she spent her rebellious teen years smoking pot and hitchhiking in search of Woody Guthrie while her glamorous laissez-faire parents imbued her with the confidence and optimism that has seen her through the many chapters in her extraordinary life, including living and working in New York - where she would hang out in cafes chatting to the likes of Quentin Crisp, and where she had a basement studio next to Richard Prince - to raising kids, divorce and surviving cancer. Through it all, she has never stopped creating. Known for her instinctive use of colour and emotionally resonant abstraction, Glick studied Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received the Florence Leif Award, and later earned her MFA from the University of Buffalo. Her work was widely shown throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles. Her paintings have also featured in group exhibitions at Pat Hearn Gallery, the Drawing Center, and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. More recently, she has held solo exhibitions at White Columns (2016) and The Journal Gallery, New York (2021). For this conversation, Danielle Radojcin met Pam at the Maruani Mercier gallery in Brussels, which is holding an exhibition of her work.
¡Cancelaron la mejor serie de Star Wars! Nah, se termina Andor, pero ya sabíamos que iban a ser solo dos temporadas, porque... bueno, ustedes vieron Rogue One, ¿no? Eze y MaGnUs se sientan a hacer la RE: seña de la segunda temporada de la serie, siguiendo al propio Cassian Andor, pero también a grandes personajes descubiertos en la anterior, desde nuevos como Luthen Rael o Kleya Marki, hasta pre existentes en la franquicia (pero nunca desarollados) como Mon Mothma. Además de dar background sobre los orígenes de ciertos elementos centrales de la serie como parte de manuales de juegos de rol de los noventas, repasamos todas las implicancias políticas del comportamiento monstruosos del fascismo, con la galaxia muy lejana actuando como un espejo de nuestra propia realidad. Para redondear, también reseñamos Tales of the Underworld, la nueva temporada de la antología "Tales", con el orígen del mercenario Cad Bane, y un nuevo camino para la no-sith-pero-tampoco-jedi Asajj Ventress. Con música de Brandon Roberts, Woody Guthrie, y The Kiners. Próximo programa: Karate Kid - Legends.
This week, we tackle the lofty, ambitious, sometimes bombastic topic of rock operas and concept albums. Most acknowledge that the rock opera was the outgrowth of the psychedelic era where, particularly in a post-Sgt. Pepper world, the rock n' roll album became an artistic statement. As musicians sought to expand and alter the fabric of pop music, “rock operas” with narratives, character development, and distinct movements were being explored on records like the Pretty Things' SF Sorrow (1968) and the Who's Tommy (1969). All rock operas are concept albums, but not all concept albums are rock operas. The concept album is a collection of songs that are tied together to present an overarching theme, going back as far as Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads, a 1940 collection of 78 rpm records that stayed true to the title. Joining us as our Third Lad for this discussion today is Dave Gebroe, the creator & host of the music obsessives' podcast Discograffiti. Dave dives into amazingly deep and immaculately researched discussions on the catalogues of a wide range of artists - if not with the artist themselves, then with a jaw-dropping roster of guests. Dave is also a filmmaker, writing, producing and directing the movies The Homeboy and Zombie Honeymoon. If that weren't enough, he's masterminded a 2 LP tribute to-slash-reimagining of Lou Reed's much maligned album Metal Machine Music, and I believe is working on a rock opera of his own.

This week‘s show brings us echoes of resistance from the past because there's a storm brewing, stirring from the louder voices of people recognizing that fascism has settled in. People in this country are getting organized around a common anger that democracy and freedom is being taken from them. The political fortification led by Republican leadership co-opted by white nationalism and support for the gestapo tactics must be held in check and the voices of the ballot box will be the final determination; that is, if there is time. Music this week features Roy Zimmerman, Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and a whole host of sounds from the past century whose musical voices raged when fascism and autocracy attempted to take hold. Money is the root of this evil, make no mistake. There is always hope, however, and we need to be here for each other while practicing self-care with family and friends. The storm clouds are now above us and it's up to all of us. Now. Not later.
In response to the Bush presidency, Cooder produced what could be described as the modern-day equivalent of the kind of dustbowl ballads Woody Guthrie once sang. On Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down, he took aim at politicians, corporate greed and military action – all issues close to Guthrie's heart in the 1930s and '40s.– In this episode we also talk about Cooder's first and only book, and a few other things.

Dr. Lesley Gill joins us to discuss complicity with trump's fascism, and by that, she means universities, businesses, law firms, and all who are willing to cave to trump's threats. She contends that this is no caving or collaborating but complicity. She also talks about the government's kidnapping of students and legal residents for deportation. This is no time to be sitting, it is all hands on deck. We end with all you fascists gonna lose by Woody Guthrie.

Marina Anderson Ex-Wife of David Carradine, The Eye of My Tornado / Four Feet to Fame: A Hollywood Dog Trainer's Journeyop culture/Memoir/autobiography.This is a significant and very personal book.This book has been inducted into the Johnny Grant Hollywood Walk of Fame Library."...it was one long rollercoaster thrill... Mr. Toad's wild ride...intense passion and emotion. He was the eye of my tornado." Marina Anderson.Marina Anderson was just starting out taking acting lessons at Warner Bros., when she wandered one afternoon onto the candlelit set of a Shaolin temple and met for the first time, the volatile, dark and brilliant personality that was actor and icon, David Carradine. Two dynamic people merging into a karmic-destined, intense and turbulent love relationship. Each struggling with their own demons including sexual abuse and incest. Their private life was replete with love, passion, erotic pleasure and eventually bondage, sexual experimentation, and pain as an avenue to pleasure. Their marriage was marred by a toxic secret that could not be ignored. Her writing speaks to readers universally by focusing on their personal journey, revealing the truth about the couple, addresses conquering fear and overcoming obstacles, self discovery, recovery, re-inventing and rebuilding one's self. It's her personal survival while desperately trying to save the marriage as well as Carradine's constant struggle to be someone he wasn't, but wished he could be. Spirituality, psychic John Edward,other psychics and astrologers who helped her are written about in the book as well. They were married on the Warner Bros. back lot and their six-year relationship was a whirl of auditions, star-studded parties, exotic locations, red carpets and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marina, who was already an established actress, became Carradine's personal manager and set about rehabilitating the career of an actor who was now known for his heavy drinking. She introduced him to Quentin Tarantino, who cast David in a lead role in the popular Kill Bill films. This vaulted Carradine back onto the Hollywood A-list.After their divorce with the help of re-known celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky (Celebrity Rehab, Sober House), issues are addressed in the consultation verbatim, occupying an entire chapter. Anderson was able to finally exorcise the demons that have haunted her for so long about their relationship and herself that almost destroyed her. "This book is an avenue for his fans and the general public to know, understand and hopefully accept him as a man, not a celluloid fantasy...to be admired for his talents and the motivations behind certain issues in his life understood. It's also to reveal the very personal interior of a marriage that people can relate to. What we do for love. We are all human beings with our faults. He was afraid people wouldn't remember him. That will never happen. The legend continues."David Carradine's acting career spanned four decades onstage, television and cinema. He became an international sensation as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s hit television series Kung Fu and cemented his cult hero status with his role in the classic movie Death Race 2000. He portrayed Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory and Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Carradine received four Golden Globe nominations. He was a talented songwriter and musician and performed in a band called Cosmic Rescue Team.He died in a Bangkok hotel room, June 3, 2009, an apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation. Amid sensational media speculation, Marina refused to let David's death remain stigmatized like it was and launched her own investigation into the death of her ex-husband. Suicide? Foul play? A sex act gone wrong? Was he alone? Was there a cover-up? Her conclusions are startling.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“This machine kills narcissists. Shoutout to Woody Guthrie! Sorry for missing the love notes on Friday; I'm not a machine. In this episode, we talk about Aries Season and the need to listen to what is not being said. It's a different way to analyze your situation. If they are not expressing it in the common way, why? There's meaning and clues from the subconscious mind within everything we say and do. Listen deeper to feel the actual message. What lies below the surface of that offhand statement? Anyway, then we discuss situations by zodiac. They are situationships for a reason. After that, I try something new: talking cards. I let two decks talk to one another. It's interesting, and I'll be doing it again—I just need a little more practice with that method. Of course, this all makes sense in the end with the Homeward Traveler card from the Oracle of Hidden Worlds deck. Home free! What a good feeling! If you're feeling trapped, know that this is not your home; it's only a stop along your way to your rightful home. Keep moving on, and you'll find that place that brings you peace.

Kenny and Mike are joined by friend and regular guest Rev. Eric Folkerth to discuss the biopic film of Bob Dylan, A Complete Unkown. Directed by James Mangold, the film stars Timothee Chalamet as Dylan, Ed Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, and Monica Babaro as Joan Baez. Based on the book Dylan Goes Electric by Elijah Wood, A Complete Unknown opens as Bob Dylan arrives in New York City and begins his rise in the world of folk music, and the reaction after he became a folk music star when he decides to expand into folk rock music by "going electric." This new direction was introduced and decidedly rejected by the audience at the 1965 Newport Folk Music Festival, and is the climax of the film. As the film moves toward the Newport clash, it documents Dylan's struggle againstbeing labeled, boxed in, and controlled by the music industry as well as his initial fans. The film also shows Dylan's relationships with Sylvie Russo and folk legends Joan Baez, as well as with Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. Episode Guest Eric Folkerth is Sr. Pastor of Kessler Park United Methodist Church in Dallas and is a singer/songwriter and blogger. Eric's website is ericfolkerth.com Faith Reflected: Expansive vs. restricted worship, experiences, and understanding of God. Worship Wars happen when individuals and groups get comfortable and set in their ways of worship and deny the validity of other expressions and languages of worship that may speak better to others. The benefit of a variety of ways of worship that lead to enriched understanding and experiences of God. Declaring and accepting purity of worship is a means to control the experience, theological understanding, and faith development of others. Luke 4 and the resistance to Jesus demonstrating God's love of and working for other people and nations. The early Church in the Book of Acts also faced this struggle of expansive experiences of worship and understanding of God.
It's Day 2 of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation hearing to be Health Secretary, and many are wondering how Republican Senator Bill Cassidy will vote. The former emergency room doctor has concerns about the vaccine skeptic. Although Cassidy mostly votes along party lines, he did vote to impeach Trump on Jan. 6 charges. The Times-Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist Stepahnie Grace joined the show to share the latest. The new movie about the life of Bob Dylan, “A Complete Unknown,” is shedding a light on the folk music revival. But many don't know how Louisiana musician Huddie Leadbetter, or Lead Belly, played a role in expanding the genre. While his framed portrait only makes a brief cameo in the film, Lead Belly was a big influence on folk artists like Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. Although the common narrative insists he was “discovered” by white folklorists while locked up in Angola Prison, a new book is separating fact from fiction. Sheila Curran Bernard is the author of “Bring Judgment Day: Reclaiming Lead Belly's Truths from Jim Crow's Lies.” She breaks down the myths of his career and how he expanded folk and blues music across the U.S. and Europe.Poor sanitation is a longstanding issue in the Gulf South, especially in Alabama's Black Belt where the soil is a problem for traditional septic systems. The state's previous rules for funding water infrastructure made it difficult for residents to fix sanitation issues themselves. The Gulf States Newsroom's Danny McArthur reports on the patchwork of people and groups trying to address the problem.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

What goes into the making of a folk hero? There has been a lot of discussion about the killing of a United Healthcare CEO and Luigi Mangione. There is a history of making figures like this into folk heroes through music. Jesse James is a great example. Woody Guthrie and other sang about him. And now the same thing is happening with Luigi. Today we take a look at this phenomenon and what goes into the making of a folk hero.

In this special RNRA Short, we set our sights on Bob Dylan's journey from scrappy young folksinger to the electric wonder who rocked the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. We're talking about “A Complete Unknown,” James Mangold's new biopic starring Timothée Chalamet, and how it blends faithful biography with a dash of good old mythmaking. We'll uncover the inspiration Bob drew from Woody Guthrie, spotlight the unwavering support (and frustrations) of Joan Baez, and check in on cameo moments from that Nashville cat Johnny Cash. Along the way, we'll talk “poetic truth,” break down some of the film's creative liberties, and dig deep into Dylan's own transformation—how he blew open the boundaries between folk and rock for generations to come. If you love the idea of cinematic storytelling that captures both the magic and the mess of a music legend, then you're in the right place.

Whether it's a New Years Theme we choose to go with (which we recommend at Happy Life Studios) or New Years Resolutions, if we do them right, they will change our life. However, setting them isn't enough. Oftentimes our themes, goals or resolutions won't happen on their own. Like we haave said several times "If we let it happen it won't happen". To see these goals and ideas accomplished we will have to push them, prod them, and/or poke them just like a cowboy does with cattle. The songs we used in this episode are "Get Along Little Dogies (Whoopee Ti-Yi-Yo)" by Woody Guthrie, "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We don't own any rights. We would also like to thank the talented James Kocian, for the use of his amazing songs "Head Boppin", and "Light As A Feather". Check out more of his amazing stuff here www.JamesKocian.com or here www.Facebook.com/jameskocianmusic and tell him thanks from Happy Life Studios.

Send us a textWelcome to our FFF Christmas mash-up where we are going to look at the two important titles released on the 25th of December in the year of Our Lord 2024: Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers and starring Lily Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Bill Skarsgard, and Willem Dafoe up against A Complete Unknown directed by James “Walk the Line/Ford Vs. Ferrari” Mangold and starring Timothee Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Maria Barbaro, Dan Fogler, and the one two punch of craggy, Oakie-faced Narcos Alums: Boyd Holbrook and Scoot McNairy.I'm your host Gino Caputi and I am joined by the lean and mean crew of Roseanne Caputi and Gordon Alex Robertson. Before we throw down with the garlic, wooden stakes, crucifixes and Gibson J-50's, the synopses:In Nosferatu the Dracula story is reimagined as a German tale where newlywed, social climbing Thomas Hutter is sent to Transylvania to sell a house to the mysterious Count Orlok. Orlok in turn knows Hutter's Wife Ellen as years before she allowed him to enter her soul. After Hutter escapes Orloks castle of horrors, Orlock relocates to Wisborg and brings evil and plague with him. With the town gone mad, it is up to Ellen to stop Orlok. In A Complete Unknown, it is 1961 and a young Bob Dylan arrives in New York City to meet his idol Woody Guthrie. Introduced to Guthrie by Pete Seeger in the hospital where Guthrie is dying, Dylan becomes immersed in the New York Folk scene, developing a relationship with folkl sensation Joan Baez. Years go by and Dylan decides to go against Seeger and the Folk community by playing an electric guitar at the famous Newport Folk Festival. Chaos ensues. So which film best exemplifies the spirit of Christmas? Find out!

In this episode of No Film School, GG Hawkins and Jason Hellerman sit down with acclaimed director James Mangold to dive into the making of his latest film, A Complete Unknown. Known for iconic works like Logan and Ford v Ferrari, Mangold shares deep insights into his creative process, the importance of preparation, and how he navigates the complexities of storytelling. This holiday special offers invaluable lessons for filmmakers at every level. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins, Jason Hellerman, and James Mangold discuss: How Mangold approached depicting Bob Dylan's relationships with iconic figures like Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash The value of mentorship in filmmaking and how Alexander Mackendrick influenced Mangold's career Finding the balance between preparation and flexibility when directing Mangold's advice for capturing subtext and the unspoken dynamics between characters The art of juxtaposition and how to craft impactful scene transitions Memorable Quotes: “You come to the set with a plan, but your actors are gonna add a lot, and you don't want to be so slavish, so enslaved by your plan that you feel lost if an idea comes up with one of the actors that undermines the plan you came with.” “The point for the director is to make everything look like you planned it—even if you didn't.” “What is the scene about, and what are the beats I must make sure the audience sees? Not lines, but what's unsaid—the subtext, the human thought behind the eyes.” Resources: James Mangold on IMDb Microbudget Workshop with GG Hawkins Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul Lamb, Joe Filisko and Adam Sikora join me on episode 125, for a retrospective on one of the legends of the diatonic harmonica, Sonny Terry, whose real name was Saunders Terrell.Sonny was born in 1911 (or 1912), in Greensboro, Georgia (or it could have been North Carolina). Growing up on a farm in a rural community, Sonny was left blind by two accidents in his youth. Unable to work on the farm he turned to music, with his harmonica playing father giving him his early lessons.Sonny first rose to prominence playing with Blind Boy Fuller, and then made a splash by performing at Carnegie Hall in 1938 as part of the ‘From Spirituals To Swing' concert.A few years later he formed probably the most famous blues duo ever, with Brownie McGhee. Sonny and Brownie made their name in the New York Folk scene and went on to play together for forty years, travelling the world, with many festival appearances, on Broadway, in movies and countless albums together. Sonny also played solo and with many other notable musicians besides Brownie, including an album with Johnny Winter towards the end of his life.We look into Sonny's style of playing and talk about how his rhythmical work is essential study in getting your own harmonica chops together.Links:Sonny Terry Estate items for sale:https://bluemoonharmonicas.com/collections/sonny-terry-estate-llcPaul Lamb: http://paullamb.com/Joe Filisko: https://www.filiskostore.com/Adam Sikora: https://jukejointsmokers.com/http://www.the-archivist.co.uk/rare-early-blues-harp-recordings-by-singers-and-sidemen-introduced-by-joe-filisko/Videos:American Folk Blues Festival, Hootin' The Blues:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtO7cctW1uISonny and Woody Guthrie postage stamps playing Lost John:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4ldxb0iGHcSonny and Brownie in one of their last concerts, 1980:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzDNhA5irc8Sonny and Brownie playing on The Jerk, Steve Martin movie:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeDgOUoDTsYPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS--------------------------------Blue Moon Harmonicas: https://bluemoonharmonicas.comSupport the show
From Bill:Reflecting upon the recent death of Alice Brock, the lady who lived in the bell tower of the abandoned church in Stockbridge, MA, along with her husband, Ray, (and Vacha, the dog) -, and who hosted the now legendary Thanksgiving feast attended by young Arlo Guthrie, that time when he got arrested trying to do his hosts a solid by dumping their excessive garbage - which subsequently soiled his record, making him ineligible for the draft. Well, reflecting upon this landmark recording made me realize how much Arlo and his song had been fundamental to my life-long, anti-authoritarian world view. And how, years later, when the war had escalated, and my turn came up for the draft, even though I escaped with a high lottery number, I was already weighing my options. I was only 14 when the song was released, but it hipped me to the absurdity of the war in Viet Nam, the legal system, and petty bureaucrats in general. Arlo accomplished this “us against them” subversion with genial irony, which he delivered with an easy charm - not to mention an impressive Travis picking style. It didn't hurt that he had the name recognition as the scion of the OG of poetical protest singers, Woody Guthrie, whose song “This Land is Your Land,” almost became our national anthem, and was the adopted relative of “uncle” Pete Seeger, whose signature sing-along method of inspiring social change Arlo employs so effectively here. It was a cultural bombshell, and a first in many ways: At 18 minutes, FM radio usually played it in three separate parts making each rotation an event. It was the longest song to ever gain radio play when spun in its entirety. However, here at the Hotel Bohemia, time has no meaning, so it can be played all the way through on a continuous loop. Alice will be hosting her first post-mortal Turkey Day, so let's spin it again in her honor. BEST WISHES FROM BILL AND RICH, THE SPLENDID BOHEMIANS!
Welcome to the final episode of What Just Happened, a Recall This Book experiment. In it you will hear three friends of RTB reacting to the 2024 election and discussing the coming four years. David Cunningham, chair of Sociology at Washington University in St Louis, is author of Klansville, USA (Oxford UP, 2014) and There's Something Happening Here: The New Left, the Klan, and FBI Counterintelligence (U California Press, 2005). His ongoing research includes the recent wave of conflicts around Confederate monuments and other sites of contested memory. David's vision of what has changed in 2024 relates to an extended analogy to the election of 1972, when the avowedly racist George ("Segregation....forever") Wallace almost rode right-wing fury to victory. Notes of hope? Well, David has faith in extant political institutions and even bureaucracy (long live the deep state) to blunt the force of Trump's onslaught; movement politics of the left may also prove capable, as they were in the 1930's of rising up in response to a ferocious successful mobilization on the right.

The Walton family saga so deeply moved us that scores of devoted fans are now sharing the show with their children and grandchildren. Set in Depression era Virginia, The Waltons invited audiences to watch a family overcome adversity through their love, perseverance and the opening of their minds and hearts. During its nine year run, we watched the Walton kids grow up right along with us. Between the ages of seven and sixteen, Kami Cotler portrayed the youngest Walton, Elizabeth and while doing show she gained the additional families of her Walton co-stars and fans. Kami joins us to talk about a childhood spent on the set of an iconic historical drama, her illustrious and inspiring career as an educator and the ongoing events and celebrations which continue to unite The Waltons and their audience.Kami's career as a teacher and administrator was rooted in her own education, a unique hybrid of inventive and creative on-set tutors and public schools. On-set learning did harken back to the one room schoolhouse where Kami learned alongside her older casemates and could easily audit some of their fascinating lessons which were way ahead of her grade level.Additionally, The Waltons' set doubled as a constantly evolving, hands-on classroom. Post-Waltons, Kami's first teaching job was in rural Virginia, which provided a real life emersion into the fictional setting she had inhabited for nearly a decade, and it's where she developed her style and approach as an educator. We talk to Kami about her Youtube channel where she reacts to beloved episodes and interviews her wonderful Mom. She tells us what she wishes she'd asked Will Geer and Ellen Corby about working with Woody Guthrie and Laurel and Hardy and she shares how fans are consistently helping her better remember specific events and episodes!Today, Kami organizes Waltons themed gatherings around the country that are proving to be an enormously rewarding experience for both cast and fans. And, Kami pretty much aces a round of Waltons Trivia! Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending Social Studies on FX and Hulu and Score on Prime.Path Points of Interest:Kami Cotler on WikiKami Cotler on IMDBKami Cotler on FacebookKami Cotler on InstagramKami Cotler on YoutubeGift of DemocracySocial StudiesScore - Amazon Prime
Woody Guthrie’s prescription for inequality in America was straightforward: “Rich folks got your money with politics.
