Among many other artists, I talked about Robbie 's contributions as a child of a mom who was Cayuga and Mohawk, raised on the Six Nations Reserve southwest of Toronto, Ontario, and a son of a Jewish biological dad. I noted his Canadian roots and his ability to compose and perform the perfect Americana earth rock song book. </span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">After seeing Robbie as a backup to Ronnie Hawkins and rockabillying to "Susie Q," and other billydom classics, I first saw Robbie live as a member of the Hawks, the backup band for Dylan relatively shortly after Dylan went partly and then almost fully electric. That first live appearance was at the Philadelphia Academy of Music (a classical music venue similar to NYC's Carnegie) after winning a radio trivia contest for tickets. Dylan did the first half of the concert acoustically and then after intermission, brought up the electric guitar and harmonica, and the Hawks, and they played masterfully while being soundly booed by the half or more of the audience that were folkie purists. I was slightly conflicted by my then fuller allegiance to the more pure folk, but at the same excited by the reworking of some of the Dylan “classic” songs turning electric and rocking and shaking the classic hall.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">I next saw Robbie at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with his new group, the Band, making their first "major" appearance outside of their now legendary Big Pink Woodstock home base. It was their professional debut as a group, and it was my first voluntary assignment as a rock critic for the regional, almost legendary "Good Times/Action World" publication--now in its 54th year.. </span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">At first, the Band seemed a little shaky as they quickly worked into their more natural groove, while I was trying to find my inner voice as a critic. Their earthly driven sounds of American story-ied life, "driving ol Dixie down," and pulling into "Nazareth," quickly lifted my confidence to appreciate on multi-levels this very basic music and we together became a natural force of unified nature. </span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Robbie contributed a lot to this North Americana life while rockabillying, Dylan-backing, Banding it and soloing over the years, and now he has danced his "last waltz: and returned to the earth and nature he lifted up, Thanks for reading and rocking through.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1n2onr6" id=":rf8:" style="font-family: inherit;

font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As our world spins rapidly into the future of advanced intelligence (artificial, generative, and otherwise), and some new realities (virtual, hybrid, physical, electronic, acoustic, and the like (or not like)), it is refreshing sometimes to step away and feel the breeze for a moment. Remember what it was like to rediscover a missing part of a puzzle, or a pair of shoes or another article of clothing that you wore for just a short period of time (in the longer scheme of </span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">things at least), that you hadn't seen for a while. It had gone out of mind and body, and maybe a little bit out of style, but refreshingly and somewhat joyfully it just turned up and reappeared. For me, it turned up one clear and peaceful night as I was looking for something else. And I just had to stop to take in the moment and be mindful that there really is more to our variety to life than all we are experiencing in our usual day-to-day and my hum and my drum moments. There is time to step out and up, up and away from what has maybe become a comfortable routine, and into something bigger and a little different. </span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">That was the feeling I got last night when I heard Tom Paxton and friend-ster, Don Henry easily playing their guitars, and singing and harmonizing a variety of what probably are still characterized and genre-ified as "folk songs." There were both, what had become old standards mixed in with some new (hopefully to be) standards that had been written during the recent COVID and Zoom-fed times. There was the clear and clean guitar playing backup for some satirical and straightforward songs and emotion-filled stories; and there was the whimsical, easy-going stage banter that should be heard more in these often described as anxiety-ridden times. They anchored their songs with an earthy wit and wisdom that filled and sprayed into the cooler and calm night air. Paxton was as softly plugged-in and present as ever, and Henry was a willing and playful companion as they embodied the characters they played in their songs. On a bare regional park Amphitheatre stage nestled comfortably amongst the trees, the audience often sang along and willingly participated in the sense of an easy closeness that beckoned the coming of summer.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Not quite as passionate politically as a Phil Ochs or a Pete Seeger, or as bluesy-real as a Mississippi John Hurt or a Lightnin' Hopkins, or as deeply poetic as a Dylan or a Leonard Cohen, or as profoundly sincere sounding as a Joan Baez, a Joni Mitchell, or a Judy Collins, or as electo-phi-ingly prepared to enter the rock pantheon as a Bruce Springsteen, or a Crosby, Stills, Nash or a Young, Tom was always regarded as a solid first-stringer who sang and wrote songs that seemed like they had always been there and never written at one point in time. For anyone who monitored the Village, the Boston/Cambridge, or the Chicago folk scene or casually followed the collegiate folk boom of the time, Paxton has always been considered one of the humble greats (the Grammys even honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award). Tom (and his friend Don) still own and hone their homey, unprepossessing voices to spin tales lightly with the easy accompaniment of the guitars that string subtly yet are filled with fun and variety. </span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Paxton exudes a pleasant aw-shucks informality and endearing casualness even on somewhat life-changing if not sustaining topics such as eternal friendship and the hopefully eternal environment. Whether its hearing or singing along to "Bottle of Wine," "Ramblin' Boy" "The Last Thing on My Mind," or "Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound," I now know a little bit more about where I have been, "and where I am bound."</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1n2onr6" id=":r3e:" style="font-family: inherit;

font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">On April 4, summer came early (for a day or two at least) to the DC area and on that day, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) hosted its tenth (or so) annual Jazz Informance (part performance, and part jazz lesson) in collaboration with the Herbie Hancock institute of Jazz (HHIJ). Along with the heat, came some hot jazz from four of the most gifted and talented high school jazz students from performing arts schools in DC, Baltimore, and NYC, playing with a gifted music </span><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">teacher from Baltimore School for the Arts, and an off-the-charts, talented jazz trumpeter and educator Terrell Stafford. </span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">The students were: Quinn Rehkemper, alto saxophone, junior—Baltimore School for the Arts; Seif Gharsellaoui, tenor saxophone, senior—LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts; José André Montano, piano, junior—Duke Ellington School of the Arts; and Julian Frazier, drums, junior—Baltimore School for the Arts. The teacher was Ed Hrybyk, bass, Director of Jazz Studies—Baltimore School for the Artts. </span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">They played flawlessly the works of Hank Mobley. Joe Henderson, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis. And after a standing ovation from the audience, they played an encore with a special "One by One" tribute to the recently deceased, Wayne Shorter (a special friend of Herbie Hancock and jazz enthusiasts around the world).</span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maureen Dowling of ED and Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, introduced the program, and I had the honor of giving short remarks as well as introducing a master jazz instructor, Dr. J.B. Dyas from the HHIJ. Dr. Dyas (along with the performers) gave a lesson or two to the audience making the complexities of jazz simple and understandable, and showing what really makes jazz the magic that it is. .</span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">In that packed Education Department auditorium of students and their teachers and ED colleagues (with on line audience watching as well), we became part of a joyful and soulful explosion of spontaneity, risk-taking, individuality, collaboration, teamwork, trust, and freedom that exemplify the American spirit and the principles of leadership at its finest. On this day, at ED. history was made and remade. </span></p><p><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">When responding to audience questions, the students were as articulate and thoughtful with words as they were with their music. If you ever doubted that students of all ages can learn, that good teachers can teach even the most difficult of subjects, and that people of all views can get engaged and come out of their comfort zones to collaborate for a greater good, your doubts were put to rest in ninety short and shining minutes. The power of music to influence thinking skills, the power of teaching and learning, the power of being open to new views and ideas, the power of taking risks and learning from the mistakes that might come, all came together through the sounds and the words of a diverse team of gifted. yet humble student musicians and teachers, playing with an experienced virtuoso. This was truly a lesson and an experience for the ages. You can experience it for yourself at: </span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1swvt13 x1l90r2v" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id=":rhk:" style="font-family: inherit;

His first hit was a amped up version of a country classic, Ray Price's "Crazy Arms." He was known by his childhood name "the Killer," and admitted that he sang "the Devil's Music." He made some bad choices along the way, and halted a star-making career with one of those bad choices, but he continued to rock on, gospel on, and country on to rebuild his career as a "country and western" and "gospel" singer after his rock appeal had subsided.<br /><br />But his influence lived on in rock artists like Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and other eternal rockers like the Beatles. He was the last living member of the first entering class (in 1986) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he now has passed away. He was probably rock's finest pianist if not its most energetic with his rollicking exuberance style.<br /><br />He was often unshakable in his view of what he should do and the way he should sing and play. As a teen, he was asked to leave a bible institute after playing ‘My God Is Real’ in his swah-buckling boogie-woogie style, and rock ’n’ roll style. [He] figured that’s the way it needed to be played.”<br /><br />Bruce Springsteen said that Jerry Lee he was not just a rock artist he was rock'n'roll. He captured it's energy, it's enthusiasm, it's worts, and its failures. Jerry Lee contributed to all of them. And when the rumors of his death started to come out a few days ago, his spokespeople denied its truth, Like everything he did, he wanted to die on his own terms when he wanted to, and where he wanted to. </span><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" dir="auto" style="color: var(--primary-text);

color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">I was sad to learn in today’s print edition of the NY Times, of the passing of “Mary McCaslin, 75, Folk Singer Who Longed for Old West.” I learned that she passed away at her home on October 2, a few weeks ago. I was somehow glad that it took a couple of weeks to disseminate the news, because Mary seemed to come from another time and place when communications were not so instant and rapid, when word travelled more organically, and you had time to savor one communication and memory without being bombarded with many. I knew she had been sick, suffering from a rare neurological disease. I had hoped for a recovery for her, and for science to catch up to what it had not been able to solve yet, but the time was not quite right or ripe for that, and the gentle Times obituary closed that hope for now. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">Mary was called by some as “iconic,” but I know that not too many know or knew of her talents, including her often close to pitch perfect arrangements of her own songs, and her arrangements of the classics from the Beatles to Motown to the great American songbook, spiked with her often exquisite voice. I was introduced to her close to 50 years ago with her pleasantly lilting “San Bernadino Waltz.” I often loved hearing her singing and playing guitar, but her music felt like a very sweet treat, like the wonderful cheese pastry I tried this morning from a local yet national organically-styled market. It was a truly wonderful taste experience, but one I wanted to savor and maybe not experience too often (for it might take away from the experience, and with regard to the pastry, for the good of my health, if nothing else).</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">The obituary described Mary as “a pure-voiced folk singer who sang plaintive laments for the fading Old West, reimagined pop and rock classics as mountain ballads and was an innovator of open tunings on the guitar…,” The obituary compared her to Joni Mitchell, whose open-tuning adventures took her into inflections of jazz, while Mary went the opposite way into more Celtic oriented and Old West directed sounds. One reviewer of her music pushed into using language such as describing her “clear, delicately affecting vocals” and the way her “unorthodox guitar tunings create unusual, ethereal melodies of striking beauty.” While another reviewer used language such as ““[h]er point of view suggests a woman who grew up riding horses under the open sky of the high plains. Even Miss McCaslin’s experiments with Motown songs conjure a plaintive rusticity.” Her version of the Supremes’ hit “You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” inspired the reviewer to say that she “transforms the tune from an urban teen-oriented lament into a mountain-flavored folk song of quiet, adult desperation.”</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">It is no accident that her music drives writers into pushing on the outer limits of language. I am hopeful that her passing inspires more people to learn of her music and to listen in to the sounds that conjure up a simpler world of purer values and better use of time, giving science the time to catch up with the continuing challenges of the day.</span><span style="background-color: white;

font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">David McCullough, who passed away at 89 was the “every man” or the “every person” of history telling or retelling. From one vantage point, he had the dignity and earned the respect of the people almost as much as the historical figures he covered. From another perspective, he could break down key historical events and figures into digestible pieces that had a unique way of telling a whole story. He had a positive, optimistic point of view that made history approachable, interesting, and hopeful. When he was developing a book or book idea, he did not feel he was working on a book; he was living within the book he was creating. His recreation of the past will live on long into the future.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="l9j0dhe7" id="jsc_c_cw" style="font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><div class="l9j0dhe7" style="font-family: inherit;

font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">We lost a master storyteller--Vin Scully at the age of 94. He was a true word painter, a craftsman of sound sharing the canvas of baseball in front of him. I would listen to him from my childhood Brooklyn Dodgers days until his later years, when it did not matter who was playing. He was the "voice of the Dodgers" for an awe inspiring 67 years, but regardless of the teams, it was just a joy to hear and see how he described the action or inaction he was viewing. He could make an ordinary, every day game, extraordinary. Vin often allowed silence to paint the true picture, and the crowd noise to wash over you, just like he did as a child sliding under the four-legged Philco Console Radio to hear and feel the sound of an announcer and the crowd. It is now the time to end this word salad and let the pure joy of having heard Vin Scully wash over you.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="l9j0dhe7" id="jsc_c_7d" style="font-family: inherit;

margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">I recently lost access to my old e-mail address because the company that offered my email service was discontinuing e-mail in its current form, and after that, I also had some unsuccessful login attempts to Facebook and lost access to Facebook for a few days at least. I tried to call Facebook but, of course there is no number to call, and no one is there waiting for your call. I tried numerous times to reset my password and do other things to get back into Facebook, but nothing was working. </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">So, I paused my efforts, and I was faced with the question, do I really want to continue to be on Facebook or not. I had more time for other things, but I certainly missed keeping in touch with friends on Facebook and what their activities were—their birthdays, their ups, their downs, and their other adventures, and what they recommended, were listening to, or were reading. </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Temporarily, I re-dipped my toe in the Facebook morass, and created a new Facebook presence through another version of my name, so I could at least, from a distance anyway, stay in touch, and see if it truly mattered. With this new identity it was interesting to see who Facebook thought I might be interested in meeting as friends and topics in which I might be interested. None really seemed very relevant, but it was fun for a short time to see their recommendations and keep in the mix at a distance. </div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">I paused again and thought about it from an existentialist point of view, and wondered what Søren Kierkegaard might do. From a refreshing article I had recently read and from some faded recollections from my college readings, I knew that Kierkegaard, one of the key figures of existentialism, felt that it is the act of making choices that brings more meaning to our lives; that through making choices, we can live more authentically, forming our own opinions, rather than being guided by the opinions of others, peer pressure, or the society as a whole. For Kierkegaard, understanding the meaning of our existence seems to come through true experiences when we make our own choices, and not following the choices of others.</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">What would Kierkegaard, who died in Copenhagen in 1855, really think of the virtual world of friends and groups and networks that is Facebook? The social-media enterprise seems to be continually working on its algorithms and to deemphasize content which may be passively consumed and prioritize content that Facebook predicts will make a meaningful difference. Facebook often suggests choices, but often subtly trying to take choice away. I often smile from the content that Facebook predicts will be meaningful to me, but sometimes (more than I might like to admit) they are spot on or close.</div></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, I decided to give it a last try, because I decided it is better to be frequently with my friends on Facebook albeit virtually, then to go back to the more infrequent contacts than often happen only by chance. This time I was able to log on through another device and I was back on Facebook. I made a choice, I will try to choose to be more meaningful and advance truer experience on Facebook by sharing thoughts like these. I welcome the views and journeys of others who have thought about whether to be or not to be on Facebook, and faced this choice.</div></div></span></div></div></div></div><div class="l9j0dhe7" id="jsc_c_1jn" style="font-family: inherit;

font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Freddie Parris, the songwriter and lead vocalist of the Five Satins whose “In The Still of the Night,” became one of the most memorable and hummable songs of the group harmony/doo-wop era of rock ‘n’ roll, died at age 85, after what was termed a brief illness. The song originally did not sell all that well, but as time went on, it became more and more popular and often topped many radio stations’ count downs of the “all-time greatest hits.” It is also one of the only songs to have charted on the Billboard Hot 100 three separate times by the same artist with the same version each time. The Five Satins also charted with the romantic heart-beating “To the Aisle,” that was featured in the movie American Graffiti.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">“In the Still of the Night” has been recorded by artists such as Boyz II Men and Debbie Gibson, and has been featured in such films as The Buddy Holly Story, Dirty Dancing, and The Irishman. Freddie and the Satins often played at rock n roll revival and oldies shows over the years, and the many times I saw them, always sounded as fresh and harmonious (and as smooth as silk) as they in the 50s, never taking their near-iconic status too seriously.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Freddie wrote “In the Still of the Night” while on a brief leave from military duty travelling by train from Philadelphia to his hometown, New Haven, and he recorded it with the Satins in a small church basement in New Haven shortly thereafter. A fellow church parishioner, Vinnie Mazzetta played a bluesy sax solo in the song that helped set the template for rock sax solos in many songs ever after. The modest beginnings of “Night” exemplified how art can be created from an everyday, typical moment and setting, and yet affect the lives of millions in a very special way for years to come.</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="l9j0dhe7" id="jsc_c_1fn" style="font-family: inherit;

font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ronnie Spector, who passed away at 78 (not RPMs), had a raw, fresh, full of life sound that skipped merrily past time and era. It jumped from her work on “Be My Baby” and a series of follow-up smashes in the early 60s with the family Ronettes, to her solo career and her reprise in 1987 with Eddie Money in “Take Me Home Tonight (Just Like Ronnie Said).” Her joyful vocals merrily scaled the heavily produced P-Spectored “wall of sound” and gave us a sense of abandon yet tension that made every listen to a Ronnie song a fresh experience. While her personal life had its challenges, she always seemed to overcome them, and be a source of resilience, confidence, and inspiration. She shared with us a sense of hope because the “Best Part of Breaking Up Is When You’re Making Up.” Her notes of optimism will never be stilled.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">As a Post Script, long-time WaPost rocker writer Chris Richards wrote at: </span><a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl gpro0wi8 py34i1dx" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/music/2022/01/13/ronnie-spector-appreciation/?fbclid=IwAR1qhUlw4OsJf4EBaeDsBjFvcmmKb9ZGIB3uww_svcwaEdrYA0H2k32HN98" rel="nofollow noopener" role="link" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: #f0f2f5; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; touch-action: manipulation;" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../ronnie-spector.../</a><span style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> and appreciated Ronnie's "Be My Baby" as a "hit single where the blood-pounding drums quickly gave way to a voice that seemed to yearn on behalf of humanity....,and while it surged with euphoric youth-crush desire, it had cosmic wisdom, too — an almost precognitive awareness of the paradox within this highly combustible teen love thing that lives in our memories for the long ride." Ronnie may have gotten that "teen love thing" "for the long ride" from Frankie Lyman who lived just 15 blocks from Ronnie in upper Manhattan.

wishes, and other thoughts. It made my
birthday celebration even more complete and special. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have to admit it was a rather unusual birthday, yet a very
wonderful one – although any birthday during the Pandemic is rather unusual
with its disruptions, limitations, and challenges. But this birthday had even more than its
share of unique thoughts, feelings and special effects. </p><p class="MsoNormal">A week before my birthday, I had returned to
the house I grew up in, sorting through (and clearing out) many memories of
family life from all stages of my life and even before, from pre-birth,
childhood, through college and into adulthood seeing myself, my family, and
some friends in some new ways. So many
thoughts passed through my heart, soul, and mind that I feel even more prepared
for the future. My birthday had its
Facebook and other greetings, and friends who sent in videos sharing memories,
songs, and comedy--these further Philled out the day, and my perspective on the
present and what lies ahead. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To borrow a little from a book I am currently
reading—"Little Fires Everywhere,” my mind became a vast eternal place where
the present I am living, and the past I was remembering (or even did not know
as well before), and the future that I look forward to, all existed at
once. My thoughts and images became
enhanced, seeing all of these stages simultaneously like a three (or even more)
dimensional way of thinking, feeling, and seeing. I appreciate all who are or have been in my
life and I look forward to getting back to seeing more people physically and
renewing and enhancing what has become an only virtual pursuit. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While this pandemic has been devastating in many respects, I
am hopeful that it will remind us of the core values, pleasures, family, and
friendships that are truly important in life.
Thanks for allowing me to share these thoughts and for being a part of
them. </p>5Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05694328691514877314noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679904633788620385.post-71969678790228162932020-07-19T19:51:00.001-07:002020-07-19T19:53:53.249-07:00John Lewis and His Legacy<div class="_5pbx userContent _3576" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-testid="post_message" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 6px;">

We mourn the loss of Congressman John Lewis, an iconic figure driven by values of equity and human dignity. His ideas and his values drove his actions, and he often risked his life and physical well-being for his strong sense of morality. No matter what situation he was presented with, he did not seem to get down and instead he fought hard to get a better result, not only for himself, but for others in his situation. His attitudes reflected his everlasting hope for the mor<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">e perfect union that we strive for.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">

I had a chance to meet him for a few minutes before he accepted the U.S. Holocaust’s Museum’s Elie Wiesel Award for 2016. In our brief discussion, he seemed very humble and approachable, and wanted to hear about my work at the U.S. Department of Education and my first litigation assignment, helping to desegregate the Wilcox County public schools, eighteen years after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Wilcox County was just a few counties down the road from his home county, Pike County, and while he shared some of his experiences in the Pike County public schools, he wanted to hear more about what I had encountered in Wilcox County.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Congressman Lewis had an exceptional moral compass, directing him to take on many issues and in all of them work for the dignity and the rights of all people. We will miss his strong commitment to what is right, and his eternal optimism; his memory will encourage us to build on his legacy.</div>

A simple announcement interrupted the homebound pandemic mask-driven 20-20s: “Little Richard, the self-proclaimed 'The Originator,' 'The Emancipator,' 'The Architect of Rock and Roll' built his ground-breaking sound with a boiling blend of boogie-woogie, rhythm and blues and gospel, died last Saturday of natural causes at the age of 87.”</div>

His music seemed super natural, it demanded attention, it pounded and raged on the keyboard strings, it palpitated the pedals of the pulsing piano, it pounded the beat into your bloodstream, your veins, and your mind until it rocked you into motion, and you could no longer ignore it. His music kept a knockin, it ripped it up, it tutti fruttied ah ruddied your soul, it long-tall Sallied and ultimately bop bop a lulahed, and jenny, jenny, jennied into your heart. </div>

He came from the roots of gospel and other spirits--his father was a church deacon, a brick mason, who sold bootlegged moonshine on the side and owned a Macon Georgia. nightclub called the Tip In Inn--and his peak was short-lived, his transcendent spark was boldly lit in 1955 through 1957. Little Richard shouted, moaned, screamed and trilled his way through a string of hits like “Tutti Frutti,” “Long Tall Sally,” “Good Golly, Miss Molly” and “Lucille,” all the while pounding the piano like a man gone controllably wild, punctuating his lyrics with an occasional shrill “whoooo!” And just as quickly as he emerged, on October 12, 1957, he cut his career suddenly short, when he was performing in Australia, and saw a blaze across the sky (now known to be the Russian satellite Sputnik), and took it as a sign that he needed to return to his religious roots and become a preacher. </div>

Time Magazine said he played “songs that sounded like nonsense … but whose beat seemed to hint of unearthly pleasures centered somewhere between the gut and the gutter.” His music drew in both young black and white fans at a time when parts of the United States still were strictly segregated. “I’ve always thought that rock ‘n’ roll brought the races together,” Richard once told an interviewer. “Although I was black, the fans didn’t care. I used to feel good about that.” When white artists like Elvis and Pat Boone tried to cover Little Richard songs, they toned it down, trying to tame the wildness of rock-and-roll, and make it “safer” for the pop audience.</div>

He returned to rock in the 60s and Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, James Brown, Otis Redding, Elton John, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, and Prince, a galaxy of rock stars, all cited Little Richard as a major influence. Jimi Hendrix, who played in Richard’s band in the mid-1960s, said he wanted to use his guitar the way Richard used his voice. When the Beatles heard him, they wanted to open for him, and during an intermission, Little Richard taught Paul the woos, oohs and howls that showed up in “I Saw Her Standing There” and many other Beatles songs. </div>

There was a very gentle side to Little Richard, and there was no one quite like him in rock and roll; Little Richard was the original, never meant to get old and never meant to die.<br />

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
Recently, we experienced the loss of two gifted, singer-songwriters of somewhat different styles and talents; the two in their own way and through their own routes reached out to our minds and hearts and spirits. Bill Withers worked as an aircraft mechanic before becoming a singer-songwriter, while John Prine was a mailman as he started his path to his songwriting and singing career. Both seemed to have gathered their passions, their power, and their unique talent from their previous careers.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
I had the pure luck and privilege of seeing Bill Withers in DC on his debut tour in the early 70s; I was there as a part-time rock critic (who was a mild-manner lawyer by day, and by night a rock enthusiast). He seemed to communicate the vulnerability that we each felt in our respective roles, but he had a rare quality through the power of his voice and words that made a very strong first and lasting impression. His “Lean on Me” was a spiritual lead in, anchor, and title to the namesake movie about my high school in Paterson NJ. His songs had the easy power of anthems. it has become an anthem for health workers and our current times of mutual reliance and dedication.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
His family described him as “A solitary man with a heart driven to connect to the world at large, with his poetry and his music, he spoke honestly to people and connected them to each other.” This became very clear during these weeks of isolation and connectedness.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
John Prine, has a very special gift of storytelling that broke through to tell us in a special way about the loneliness and exclusions of our modern day every day life. He sent through his special deliveries, the personal packages of special connection to all of us, breaking through the walls of our comfort zone. His words too seem to have very special meanings especially at these times of challenge. He touches on the loneliness that we all experience in isolation and we now are all his characters in his stories of “Hello in There” and “Angel from Montgomery” and so many other tales of our times.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px;">
In a recent obituary, a writer related that “[a]s a songwriter, Prine was admired by Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, and others, known for his ability to mine seemingly ordinary experiences — he wrote many of his classics as a mailman in Maywood, Illinois — for revelatory songs that covered the full spectrum of the human experience. There’s “Hello in There,” about the devastating loneliness of an elderly couple; “Sam Stone,” a portrait of a drug-addicted Vietnam soldier suffering from PTSD; and “Paradise,” an ode to his parents’ strip-mined hometown of Paradise, Kentucky, which became an environmental anthem. Prine tackled these subjects with empathy and humor, with an eye for “the in-between spaces,” the moments people don’t talk about….”</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin: 6px 0px 0px;">
Each in their special way touched our lives with warmth, spirit, and wonderful song. We will miss them, but we will always have them with us.</div>

From the National Mall to the Next Street:<br />Hope is blossoming among the challenges;<br />(We join this poem already in progress)<br />By Anonymous</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Some beautiful sights, amidst these challenging times;<br />
So many people dedicated and bright,<br />
Working so very hard,<br />
Days and most nights<br />
Through these challenging times.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
To help students of all ages,<br />
Learn safely and to thrive,<br />
Working with so many dedicated people,<br />
Teachers, educator, and scientists and the like,<br />
Striving for solutions<br />
Amidst these challenging times.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
At many Federal agencies,<br />
And at state and local levels,<br />
Public and private,<br />
Cutting burdens, providing support, and sharing lessons learned,<br />
And giving some promise--<br />
To help everyone--<br />
Through these (local, state, national, and international)<br />
Challenging times.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I stand optimistic and inspired that--<br />
Amidst the blossoming and the challenges of this spring.<br />
So many are doing their share (and more)<br />
Doing more than just their thing.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So I am sharing these sights and a sense filled with hope<br />
There are so many new lessons still to be learned,<br />
Allowing us to cope,<br />
And new creativity to be inspired and shared,<br />
And new friendships to be made, showing we care.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
New inventions and breakthroughs,<br />
For now and the future, that just lies ahead.<br />
So I am sharing just some simple rhymes,<br />
To help us through these challenging times.</div>

As we ended 2019, a year of some disruption and fluidity, the music industry posted another year of deep sea streaming, while cds continuing to crawl into the past, and the sound of vinyl, showed its buoyancy and had its best year in 30 years--vinyl resurrected outsold the once mighty cd, and continued to pick up sales and loyalists. With streaming and lower cost music production equipment readily available, it was easier to make more types of music accessible both to the maker and the listener, often bypassing the traditional major record labels, and spurring on innovation,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In 2018 and 2019 we honored the 50th and 60th Anniversaries of great music of the 1950s and the 60s, when much of our innovations in genre-bending popular music began. But even Billboard, the so-called music industry bible, now in its 126th year, is changing its tune and adapting its charts of hits to today's way of musicians linking more directly to their audiences. This was a year in which musical styles and genres crisscrossed and were often disrupted, with interesting new faces, voices, and sounds emerging.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
A newcomer, Billie Eilish, and her brother worked from their house to de- and re-construct popular music, using the ordinary to create a new sound that popped like magic through the airwaves, sweeping Billie into modern-day fame and fortune. DC area’s own SHAED created an infectious yet elastic “Trampoline” that whistled its way to almost continuous play.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Remixes, mashes, and covers abounded, while new super groups were cleverly founded, like I’m With Her, Better Oblivion Community Center, the Highwaywomen, and Boygenuis--all sounding joyful, playful, and fun. Rap mixed with country, classical with hip hop, jazz and rock melded, breaking down boundaries in salute to the freshness of 2019.</div>

Here are some of the albums and songs that were among the highlights of the year (in no apparent order), and I am honored to share them with you :</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I was sorry to hear about the passing of Irv Noren, a fine hitting outfielder who achieved most of his fame with the fabled Yankees of the 1950s, as a fill-in successor to the just-retired Joe DiMaggio, when the truly-anointed successor, Mickey Mantle, still suffered from an injury in the 1951 World Series (getting out of Joe D's way on a ball hit by Willie Mays). The Yankees of that era often picked up key pieces of their teams from the less successful American League teams, in this case, Noren came from the hapless Washington Senators of the early 50s.</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
Noren had played pro basketball in the 1940s alongside Jackie Robinson on an integrated team before Jackie's Dodger historic stint began. Noren had a great rookie season with the Senators in 1950 (with 160 hits, 10 triples, 14 home runs, 98 runs batted in, and a .295 average; he hit .319 for Yankees, and made the All-Star team in 1954). His salary for the Yanks in 1952 was a meager $19,000, and the stingy Yanks first offered him a $2000 raise. But he went on to be part of three Yankees championship teams, and a third-base coach on two championship Oakland A's teams in the 70s. Noren's career as a player in the majors spanned eleven seasons and six teams and he played all outfield positions and first base, and he had a respectable lifetime batting average of .275. Irv Noren was a modest yet talented utility player who journeyed after his time as a key piece of a legendary franchise.</div>

The Nats threw in some clutch hitting by Adam Eaton for good measure. The Sanchez and Scherzer back to back hitless pitching was only the second time in MLB postseason history that teammates pitched at least five hitless innings in consecutive games during a league championship series. The first to do the feat, were the self-same Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer, as Detroit Tiger pitchers, during games 1 and 2 of the American League championship series in 2013. The Nats remake a almost perfect Motown beat.</span></span></span><br />

Washington sports teams are often the underdog in big games, and generally not as well supported as teams from other places. This is due in part to the DC population that is transitory; we have many people who come to DC from other places for a relatively short time, who naturally tend to root for their childhood favorites--their home teams. Thus, we often host games at which half the fans are in uniform or rooting for the visiting teams--so there is frequently not the home field advantage that other teams have.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">
But a couple of our teams have learned or are learning to deal with it, and showing heart and soul, and building more of a loyal independent fan base. The Caps, the Mystics, and the Nats are climbing out of their state of "underdogness," and winning big games, showing a level of durability, spirit, and resilience to rise above it, and win some key playoff games on the road and at home. They are rising to a level of mastery and a positive, never-give-up spirit, that is fun to watch and inspiring at the same time. In just two days, the Mystics came back to win a first WNBA title, and Nats opened a series in St. Louis with a Sanchez/Doolittle 2 to 0, one-hit gem.</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
When all else fails, gather and bring some forces of nature into the playoff game, and you have a good chance for success. The Nats, after a frustrating 10 to 4 loss at home to the Dodgers, turned to true natural sources to tie the series 2 to 2 and take it back to LA for a winner take all game.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The Nats worked a misty rain to fall more heavily in the Dodgers half of their innings, so the Dodger batters had less chance of seeing and timing Max Scherzer's sliders and fastballs. But the rain never fell so heavily to cause a delay or to cause a tarpolin to be brought onto the field of play.</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
When then was not enough, the winds were brought in to make catch able well-hit Dodger baseballs that were stopped just short of the fences. And then there were the true forces of nature--Max Scherzer, and Ryan Zimmerman--experienced and competitive enough to make the difference against the less motivated and less focused Dodgers. While a little wet and chilly, this baseball night was made for the Nat fans and for witnessing the acts and actors of nature at work.</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I admit it. I caught the live outdoor music bug, at least for a time.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It was my third visit to Wolf Trap for live music in five or six days. But who’s counting? This time, it was time to hear some visionary jazz with recently-acclaimed and gifted saxophonist, Kamasi Washington, much acclaimed after his work with rapper Kendrick Lamar; and the legendary, jazz-fusion keyboard visionary, and ambassador of jazzian good-will, Herbie Hancock.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Kamasi and his group opened the show and worked together flawlessly and produced modern works of art that led to many standing ovations. The ensemble is a family and neighborly affair with father, Rickey, a talented and experienced woodwind musician in his own right, and boyhood friends. As sunset fell on the park, it was so natural that they connected with each other and with the audience, leading to an outpouring of joy and standing ovations. It was innovative jazz the way it was meant to be.</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
After a relatively long intermission, Herbie Hancock and his group came on. From the start, they were the more experimental and had more difficulty connecting to each other and to the audience. Herbie Hancock is truly a gifted artist and he remains one, but coming on late with a somewhat impatient crowd did not help, and many in the crowd uncharacteristically started to walk out. It was hard to match the earlier warm links of Kamasi and grou[, and Herbie and his group seemed to be just getting to know each other by contrast. Herbie commented that “tonight you will hear things never heard or played before,” and tonight it just did not fully work. Overall, it was great to once again hear live music under the cool nighttime sky and to enjoy the creativity of gifted players at work and at play, especially when they succeed, but even when they do not quite bring it home.</div>
