Covered In Folk: Bill Monroe (from folk rock to folk revival, from acoustic jazz to indiefolk)

Feb 19, 2012, 9:41pm Cover Lay Down
Covered In Folk: Bill Monroe (from folk rock to folk revival, from acoustic jazz to indiefolk) Musical visionary Bill Monroe, who got his start alongside brothers Charlie and Birch in the depths of the great depression, and subsequently performed as a solo act and bandleader for over sixty years until his death in 1996, was not just the father of the music we call bluegrass; he was its most prolific writer and disseminator. As composer and arranger, he created or recreated hundreds of songs; as progenitor, he found, groomed, and composed and performed alongside 161 Blue Grass Boys in a half century before sending them back out into the world to spread the gospel.

Single Song Sunday: Amazing Grace, Redux

Nov 21, 2010, 11:42pm Cover Lay Down
Single Song Sunday: Amazing Grace, Redux I'm full of grace and gratefulness as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches this year, not especially because I've just this evening returned from the final performance of an especially intense and intensive two-week production run of Willy Wonka at our local community theater. The cast was wonderful, and working with my entire family a treat; the rush that comes with stagecraft may be fading already, but the love I feel right now for an awful lot of people is keeping me up late, burning the near-midnight oil to make our Sunday night deadline. It's funny to [...]

Metals: Gold Rush

May 24, 2009, 9:16pm Star Maker Machine
Metals: Gold Rush Mark O'Connor: Gold Rush [ purchase ] Gold has no utilitarian value, but it was the very first metal discovered anyway -- way back in 6000 BC, apparently by some stone age man looking for a nice anniversary gift for the stone age woman who has everything. Since then, of course, gold has built a reputation for driving men mad enough to face malls on Christmas Eve, fork over two month's pay for tiny round fingerhoops, or even swarm California to sift dirt by [...]
