Sweet Honey in the Rock : Wanting Memories [ purchase ] I am a bit surprised to be the first one to present a singing group for this week's theme. These groups exist in many traditions throughout the world. Some use instrumental accompaniment, while others rely solely on the various sounds of the human voice. Sweet Honey in the Rock sometimes uses hand percussion, but they mostly rely on the voice alone. The biography on their website uses the pronoun "she" when discussing the group as a whole. This seems stranger [...]
I first found Sweet Honey on a Smithsonian Folkways album. They were singing a Leadbelly tune, and I was smitten with their sound, but I have to apologize as they have graced these pages only once. This song is from 1997's Time and Love: The music of Laura Nyro. MP3 File
My wife is contemplating her shows for next semester and The Music Man is on the consideration list (not in the least because my 8-year old wants to play Winthrop, though he's a little too big for the part). Therein lays the reason why he's wandering around the house as I write this, whistling 76 Trombones . One of my favorite parts of the show is the acapella group, The Buffalo Bills . I was once staying at a hotel in downtown San Francisco at the same time as a [...]
After two years of dance class, my elder daughter decided this year to switch over to Yoga. Meanwhile, her sister is a budding musical theater fan, one who takes to preschool sing-and-dancealongs as easily as she does craft projects. Neither comes from particularly athletic genepools - my wife and I were chorus and theater geeks, not track and field stars -- and given their natural tendencies, they're not about to turn into the kind of kid who rules the schoolyard. But the common thread is clear, I think: both have a strong affinity for [...]
I grew up in the suburbs, where wildlife was scarce, though we had our share of squirrels and birds, and the occasional rabbit sighting in the backyard. When we wanted to see larger animals, we generally headed out to Drumlin Farm , a working farm run by the Audubon Society, where caged birds of prey lined the path to the chick hatchery, the pigs and sheep gave birth every spring, and you could always spot the queen in the glass-lined, thin-sliced beehive, if you looked long enough. There was a pond, too, for crawdad spotting. [...]
Cornel West tells it like it is Three weeks ago, as Black History Month was kickin' off, I was at the Berklee College of Music listening to Cornel West and Sweet Honey in the Rock give a spirited lecture / performance to celebrate the launch of the school's new Africana Studies program. Immediately thereafter, I got stuck in a ridiculously busy work schedule and didn't get around to writing up the show. Until now, as the close of Black History month approaches (better late than never for this gig). [...]
Had a classic LA moment this afternoon, driving around downtown for half an hour trying to find someplace open and even moderately appealing to eat. Mind you, this is the downtown of the second largest city in the country. Blech. Eventually decided on the 4th consecutive meal at La Tequiza (where they have truly fantastic chile relleno burritos, by the way). Wanting Memories I'm not usually big on the a cappella, but there's really something about this song from Sweet Honey in the Rock . It has [...]
