Album Review: Steep Canyon Rangers - Live at Greenfield Lake
Steep Canyon Rangers waited both too long and not long enough in making their first live album of original material.
Recorded Sept. 29, 2023, Live at Greenfield Lake follows the group’s 2014 concert set with Steve Martin and Edie Brickell and 2020’s all-covers North Carolina Songbook. It captures the Rangers in a time of transition as singer/guitarist Aaron Burdett was just getting started as the replacement for co-founder Woody Platt. The onstage unfamiliarity results in shaky harmonies on such mainstays as “Tell the Ones I Love” and a bevy of new tracks (“Morning Shift” and Burdett’s “Fruits of My Labor” among them) still finding their stage legs.
Pre-pandemic fans will likely be perplexed by this LP, as the Rangers don’t sound nearly as sharp as they did before 2020. Greenfield Lake is thus likely to have a short shelf life and the band would be well-served to put out a Platt-era gig and record another with this lineup a few years down the line.
With four lead vocalists in Burdett, Graham Sharp (banjo, guitar, harmonica), Barrett Smith (bass) and Mike Ashworth (drums, Dobro, guitar), plus harmonies from mandolin man Mike Guggino and fiddler Nicky Sanders, the Rangers don’t push the new guy too hard. But the chemistry is not yet there as the players get to know one another. And as someone who’s seen the new-look band in ’23 and ’24, Sound Bites can attest to how much the group has improved since Live at Greenfield Lake was recorded.

Nathan Greenfield: Ukraine’s use of cluster munitions to evict Russian troops is both legal and just
U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions triggered a debate that saw NATO allies, including the U.K., Canada, and Germany, as well as human rights groups, oppose the move. In the U.S., the decision was opposed by right-wing Republicans and the centrist Democratic leadership in Congress, while Republican senators like Lindsay Graham sided with the president.
The arguments against Ukraine using cluster munitions betray a naivety, if not a disingenuousness, about the hard truths of military history.
After the Germans used chlorine gas against the Canadians and French during the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, political and military leaders, as well as the press, excoriated the German high command. Five months later, at the Battle of Loos, the British unleashed around 140 tons of chlorine gas.
During World War II, the Americans were against bombing cities and civilians until they did so themselves after entering the war in December 1941.
How controversial cluster munitions give Ukraine needed punch during counteroffensive
Ukraine has begun using American cluster munitions in the field and is doing so effectively, according to the White House. “They are using them appropriately,” National Security Spokesman John Kirby said on July 21. “They’re using them effectively, and they are actually having an impact on Russia’s…
The Kyiv IndependentIgor Kossov
The fact that neither Russia nor Ukraine are signatories to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) matters much less than does the fact that Russia, by using them against Kharkiv, Odesa, and other Ukrainian cities, could not but call forth a like response.
Another argument raised against Ukraine using cluster munitions is their dud, or failure, rate, pegged by the International Committee of the Red Cross at 10-40% – and the fact that unexploded bomblets are small enough to be picked up by civilians.
The 40% figure includes Russian-manufactured cluster munitions; by contrast, American-manufactured cluster munitions have, according to U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, a dud rate of 2.5%.
Further, unlike the cluster munitions Russian forces have fired indiscriminately at Ukrainian cities, Ukraine will know exactly where they have been fired and, hence, what patches of land need to be cleared, as the Americans did after the Gulf War.
People look at the remnants of a Russian missile that dropped cluster bombs on a residential housing complex in Sloviansk, Ukraine, on June 27, 2022. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
Legalistic appeals to the CCM also fail.
First, as Sullivan explained during an interview with NBC on July 16, the U.S. and Ukraine’s “moral authority” vis-à-vis cluster munitions comes not from the CCM but rather from the fact that the U.S. is aiding Ukraine against a “brutal, vicious attack by its neighbor,” thus drawing a hard line between Ukraine’s and Russia’s use of the weapons.
Even more importantly, those who make legalistic appeals commit a major category error.
Cluster munitions should be banned, the convention says in part, because their “remnants kill or maim civilians, including women and children, obstruct economic and social development… impede post-conflict rehabilitation and reconstruction, delay or prevent the return of refugees and internally displaced persons… and have other severe consequences for many years after use.” In other words, it focuses on the post-war effects of cluster munitions.
Yet, as Sergej Sumlenny, an international lawyer and the founder of the European Resilience Initiative Center, told me on July 9, “In Ukraine, this is not the case. The civilians are already suffering from the most brutal genocide, and the territories are already full with landmines and unexploded ordnances.”
The remains of a Russian cluster bomb on the international airport on Jan. 6, 2023, in Kherson, Ukraine. (Photo: Pierre Crom/Getty Images)
None of the newspaper accounts of the debates on the CCM’s ratification contain even a single statement by the convention’s architects that refers to how and when Ukraine intends to use cluster munitions; i.e., to defend itself on internationally recognized sovereign Ukrainian territory.
According to the framework outlined last week by the spokesperson of Ukraine’s Tavria operational-strategic group, Valerii Shershen, cluster munitions will be used only for the liberation of Ukrainian territories, and not on Russian territory or densely populated areas.
He explained that they will be used “only in the areas where the Russian military is concentrated, to break through the enemy’s defenses.”
Because the 72 or 88 submunitions spread out over a much wider area than the blast range of conventional artillery rounds, much like shrapnel during World War I, cluster munitions are fitted to attacking troops in trenches. In military parlance, they are a “force multiplier.”
Andreas Umland: Should Kyiv be pressured to exchange land for peace?
Both Kyiv and the West want a full and stable truce with Moscow – sooner rather than later. Why and how Ukrainian national interest currently contradicts a ceasefire with Russia is clear: Kyiv’s problem in negotiating with Moscow is that an agreement with the Kremlin now will not lead to
The Kyiv IndependentAndreas Umland
Even as these hard military facts summon up horrifying images of dead men strewn around a blasted trench, we must remember they are invaders – their very presence on sovereign Ukrainian territory is a testament to Vladimir Putin’s violation of international law.
Evicting Russian troops is Ukraine’s undeniable right. For, as Russian soldiers’ war crimes have shown, evicting them is the sine qua non, the essential condition, of the Ukrainian people’s survival, let alone their state.
Ukraine’s plan to use cluster munitions in its own territory to evict the Russians is both legal and just.

Week 9: Body Modifications on Visual Social media
“Fame or Lame?”
Social media differs from traditional media in a variety of ways, some of which may be related to any influence it may have on body image. First, rather than merely featuring models and celebrities, social media also includes the users themselves. Second, people frequently offer an idealized version of themselves on social media by posting just the most attractive photos of themselves (which may be edited and enhanced) to their profile and deleting any photos they believe to be unappealing (Manago et.al 2008 & Zhao et.al 2008). Other than that, despite the fact that social media features images of a variety of other people including family, friends, strangers as well as celebrities, it also serves as a platform to connect with one’s peers (Hew 2011). Some research also suggests that comparisons of appearance to peers may have a special impact on body image (Carey, Donaghue & Broderick 2014). This will lead to them exploring and involving body modifications.
Body alterations including tattoos, piercings, and other alterations are becoming more and more common and shared frequently on visual social media platforms. People utilize these platforms to display their distinctive aesthetics and personal style, express their uniqueness, and interact with others who have similar interests. However, there are some people who tend to compare and dislike some of their body parts when scrolling their social media feed, thus leading to some negative impacts. For example, some people suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder which is a moderately common mental illness that is characterized by a distressing or severe obsession with perceived or insignificant flaws in appearance (Bjornsson 2010). While most people sometimes experience some level of dissatisfaction with their appearance (Harris & Carr 2001), those who suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) frequently and intrusively think about imaginary flaws or defects in their look (APA 2013).
Therefore, it is crucial to remember that the negative effects can sometimes be a result of how society and online communities react to body alterations, rather than being inherent to those modifications themselves. To reduce the negative effects on people with body modifications, it is important to promote a culture of acceptance, respect, and understanding on social media platforms.

All these books, and the Enchanted World and stuff like the Glass Harmonica or Daniel Cohen’s books or the piles of other dictionaries, cyclopedia and handbooks on shelves from the 60s through the 90s served a very important function in the world before the internet: the filled the brains of people like me with monsters, heroes and other fantastical stuff. Truly, now you can look all this nonsense up on Wikipedia, learn about it, forget it. Before the internet, the larger body of human mythology and folklore was remote. I turned to books like this to get glimpses of that larger world and because they were really my only way to get that glimpse, the books themselves became as precious as the stories they held. So when you wonder why there aren’t many books like this anymore, that’s your answer and also an explanation as to why that lack bums me out so much.
Anyway, this is The Dictionary of Imaginary Places (originally 1980, this edition 1987), by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi, with fantastic illustrations by Graham Greenfield and cartography by James Cook. It concerns itself with strange places of or adjacent to our own world, so Earthsea and Dracula’s castle are both represented, as are many, many more, each defined in a way not dissimilar from a Baedeker’s travel guide, often complete with maps and floor plans. It is a delightful catalog and a welcome addition to the shelves of any GM who subscribes to the notion that everything is a sourcebook (because everything IS a sourcebook).
Greenfield’s art is particularly beguiling. It is often architectural, usually mysterious and always having a sense of silence about them. They remind me of Zork and Myst and the Rider-Waite tarot in many ways. Also, since I don’t know when else I’ll have the chance to crow about them: Alberto Manguel has two fascinating non-fiction books worth your time, A History of Reading and The Library at Night. I particularly love the latter, a book length meditation on libraries, books and collections.

Song Review: Steep Canyon Rangers - “Can’t Get Home” (Live, Sept. 29, 2023)
Led by mandolinist Mike Guggino, Steep Canyon Rangers get into some serious, high-energy jamming on their new live rendition of “Can’t Get Home.”
Recorded Sept. 29, 2023, and representing single No. 3 ahead of Live at Greenfield Lake’s Aug. 30 arrival, the song finds the new-look band playing as well as ever. And while Graham Sharp’s baritone lead vocals shine, the band’s trademark harmonies have yet to recover from the loss of Woody Platt and the arrival of Aaron Burdett.
And where the Rangers are concerned, that is a huge issue, one also evident on the previously released “Morning Shift” and “Fruits of My Labor.”

The Isle of Her from Alfred Jarry’s 1911 novel Gestes et Opinions du Docteur Faustroll, Pataphysicien. The map comes from The Dictionary of Imaginary Places (the revised and expanded edition published in 2000), written by Alberto Manguel and Gianni Guadalupi and illustrated by Graham Greenfield and Eric Beddows. The title page says, “Maps and Charts by James Cook.” I’m not sure whether that’s a real credit or a facetious reference to the eighteenth century explorer.
I checked this book out shortly after this edition was published, and the descriptions of Jarry’s bizarre locales really stuck in my mind. I still haven’t read Docteur Faustroll, however.

Airborne
The New Dance Photography
Lois Greenfield
Thames & Hudson, London 1998, 112 pages, 85 b/w photographs, 26,5 x 26,5 cm., ISBN 9780500280638
euro 18,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
Breaking Bounds brought Lois Greenfield's pioneering work in dance photography widespread acclaim and a dedicated following. Now with Airborne, her first book in over six years, Greenfield takes us to spectacular new heights. Collaborating with some of the world's finest dancers from such illustrious dance companies as the Martha Graham Dance Company, Pilobolus, San Francisco Ballet, the Parsons Dance Company, and Ballet Tech, she captures moments of startling grace and power. In 90 duotone images, Greenfield's dancers defy gravity and push the limits of the possible. A preface takes us behind the scenes in her studio, and the photographer's own captions illuminate the challenges of making pictures that recreate the seeming effortlessness of dance. As inspiring as it is technically remarkable, this collection of incomparable images is sure to captivate dance lovers, photographers, and all who admire the beauty and strength of the human body.

6 Crucial Races That Will Flip the Senate
This November, we have an opportunity to harness your energy and momentum into political power and not just defeat Trump, but also flip the Senate. Here are six key races you should be paying attention to. 1. The first is North Carolina Republican senator Thom Tillis, notable for his “olympic gold” flip-flops. He voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, then offered a loophole-filled replacement that excluded many with preexisting conditions. In 2014 Tillis took the position that climate change was “not a fact” and later urged Trump to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, before begrudgingly acknowledging the realities of climate change in 2018. And in 2019, although briefly opposing Trump’s emergency border wall declaration, he almost immediately caved to pressure. But Tillis’ real legacy is the restrictive 2013 voter suppression law he helped pass as Speaker of the North Carolina House. The federal judge who struck down the egregious law said its provisions “targeted African Americans with almost surgical precision.” Enter Democrat Cal Cunningham, who unlike his opponent, is taking no money from corporate PACs. Cunningham is a veteran who supports overturning the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision, restoring the Voting Rights Act, and advancing other policies that would expand access to the ballot box. 2. Maine Senator Susan Collins, a self-proclaimed moderate whose unpopularity has made her especially vulnerable, once said that Trump was unworthy of the presidency. Unfortunately, she spent the last four years enabling his worst behavior. Collins voted to confirm Trump’s judges, including Brett Kavanaugh, and voted to acquit Trump in the impeachment trial, saying he had “learned his lesson” through the process alone. Rubbish. Collins’ opponent is Sara Gideon, speaker of the House in Maine. As Speaker, Gideon pushed Maine to adopt ambitious climate legislation, anti-poverty initiatives, and ranked choice voting. And unlike Collins, Gideon supports comprehensive democracy reforms to ensure politicians are accountable to the people, not billionaire donors. Another Collins term would be six more years of cowardly appeasement, no matter the cost to our democracy. 3. Down in South Carolina, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is also vulnerable. Graham once said he’d “rather lose without Donald Trump than try to win with him.” But after refusing to vote for him in 2016, Graham spent the last four years becoming one of Trump’s most reliable enablers. Graham also introduced legislation to end birthright citizenship, lobbied for heavy restrictions on reproductive rights, and vigorously defended Brett Kavanaugh. Earlier this year, he said that pandemic relief benefits would only be renewed over his dead body. His opponent, Democrat Jaime Harrison, has brought the race into a dead heat with his bold vision for a “New South.” Harrison’s platform centers on expanding access to healthcare, enacting paid family and sick leave, and investing in climate resistant infrastructure. Graham once said that if the Republicans nominated Trump the party would “get destroyed,” and “deserve it.” We should heed his words, and help Jaime Harrison replace him in the Senate. 4. Let’s turn to Montana’s Senate race. The incumbent, Republican Steve Daines, has defended Trump’s racist tweets, thanked him for tear-gassing peaceful protestors, and parroted his push to reopen the country during the pandemic as early as May. Daine’s challenger is former Democratic Governor Steve Bullock. Bullock is proof that Democratic policies can actually gain support in supposedly red states because they benefit people, not the wealthy and corporations. During his two terms, he oversaw the expansion of Medicaid, prevented the passage of union-busting laws, and vetoed two extreme bills that restricted access to abortions.The choice here, once again, is a no-brainer.
5. In Iowa, like Montana, is a state full of surprises. After the state voted for Obama twice, Republican Joni Ernst won her Senate seat in 2014. Her win was a boon for her corporate backers, but has been a disaster for everyone else.
Ernst, a staunch Trump ally, holds a slew of fringe opinions. She pushed anti-abortion laws that would have outlawed most contraception, shared her belief that states can nullify federal laws, and has hinted that she wants to privatize or fundamentally alter social security “behind closed doors.” Her opponent, Democrat Theresa Greenfield, is a firm supporter of a strong social safety net because she knows its importance firsthand. Union and Social Security survivor benefits helped her rebuild her life after the tragic death of her spouse. With the crippling impact of coronavirus at the forefront of Americans’ minds, Greenfield would be a much needed advocate in the Senate. 6. In Arizona, incumbent Senate Republican Martha McSally is facing Democrat Mark Kelly. Two months after being defeated by Democrat Kyrsten SINema for Arizona’s other Senate seat, McSally was appointed to fill John McCain’s seat following his death. Since then, she’s used that seat to praise Trump and confirm industry lobbyists to agencies like the EPA, and keep cities from receiving additional funds to fight COVID-19. As she voted to block coronavirus relief funds, McSally even had the audacity to ask supporters to “fast a meal” to help support her campaign. Mark Kelly, a former astronaut and husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, became a gun-control activist following the attempt on her life in 2011. His support of universal background checks and crucial policies on the climate crisis, reproductive health, and wealth inequality make him the clear choice. These are just a few of the important Senate races happening this year. In addition, the entire House of Representatives will be on the ballot, along with 86 state legislative chambers and thousands of local seats.
Winning the White House is absolutely crucial, but it’s just one piece of the fight to save our democracy and push a people’s agenda. Securing victories in state legislatures is essential to stopping the GOP’s plans to entrench minority rule through gerrymandered congressional districts and restrictive voting laws — and it’s often state-level policies that have the biggest impact on our everyday lives. Even small changes to the makeup of a body like the Texas Board of Education, which determines textbook content for much of the country, will make a huge difference. Plus, every school board member, state representative, and congressperson you elect can be pushed to enact policies that benefit the people, not just corporate donors. This is how you build a movement that lasts.
