This month we don’t have too many obituaries to commemorate, thankfully.
But we do clock up quite a few anniversaries. They include the 20 years which
have elapsed since Ewan MacColl’s death; the 50th anniversary of those legendary
Alan Lomax-Shirley Collins Southern Folk Heritage field recordings; Topic
Records’ 70th; and the 80th anniversary of the Wall Street crash. Helping us cut
the cake for that lot include MacColl himself, Paddy Tunney, Joe Heaney, Sheila
Stewart, The Elliotts of Birtley, E.C. Ball, Fred McDowell, Charlie Monroe,
Jeannie Robertson, Hedy West, Norman Kennedy and a whole lot more.
In between times, Sarah Spencer tells us what drove Hannah Johnson to
auction her big jackass; Tampa Red and the Mississippi Sheiks rewrite a couple
of Hoagy Carmichael songs; I dig an old Isla Cameron record from the archives;
we hear from some square dancing Norwegians, some percussive Peruvians, some
interesting Italians – including one very drunken Italian; there are
instrumentals galore from the Cottars, JP Fraley, Joe Hutton, The Blue Ridge
Ramblers and Wallace “Cheeseâ€ð Read; there’s a couple of brother duets from the
Louvins and the Armstrong Twins; and Leroy Carr tells us how he got in the
circus for nowt.
All that and much, much more. The only time anyone let me in the circus for
nothing, the ringmaster pointed at one of the cages and told me to go sit in
it.
Happy Listenings,
Fred McCormick.
