Continued on from yesterday's post...

The following news blurb seems to refer to the top photo’s event:

“Disc jockey Charlie Tuna will lead the radio station team in a softball game against the celebrity team. Each side will be composed of personalities from radio, television, music and motion picture industries. Three of the celebrities will be Kay Lenz, star of an upcoming movie, ‘Cat House Thursday,’ Judy Norton, actress from ‘The Waltons,’ and Peter Tork, formerly of the Monkees.” - News-Pilot, September 16, 1976

“It turned into an informal softball league that raised a little money. We got good press and everybody loved it. We had a great Hollywood Vampires softball shirt and cap with a big V on it…It was Alice and myself with Peter Tork as our pitcher. He was very good.” - Micky Dolenz, Goldmine, 2020

“[We would go to] schools and camps for underprivileged kids and we’d play softball. That’s how it started. And Alice [Cooper] came up with the name [Hollywood Vampires], of course.’ They even had their own team jerseys with big red V’s. ‘Alice tended to be the pitcher,’ [Micky] Dolenz says. ‘Peter Tork, who was probably the best baseball player on the team, he would play left field. I was not that great. I would play first base, usually.’” - Arizona Republic, September 26, 2021

Another throwback to the ‘60s: “Out in the parking lot [at RCA during a Jefferson Airplane session] Peter Tork was playing baseball with the sound technicians.” - Chris Franz (class of ‘69), Wellesley News, November 9, 1967

Perry High School principal dies from wounds sustained in shooting

Fred Rogers, of Mister Rogers fame, once famously said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'” Dan Marburger was one of those helpers. Marburger was the principal of Perry High School in Iowa when a 17-year-old student opened fire in the school earlier this month. Reports…

Yellowknife, NWT (No. 5)

Yellowknife and the adjacent river and bay on Great Slave Lake derive their names from the knives once used by Dene in the area. The blades were fashioned from copper deposits mined along the Coppermine River area in present day Nunavut. The people of the City’s two neighbouring communities of Dettah and N’Dilo are the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. Their ancestors – Slavey, Dogrib, and Chipewyan speaking Dene – have inhabited the region for thousands of years, living very traditional ways of life out on the land. During the late 1700s, newcomers trickled in with the expanding fur trade. First came Métis families connected with the trade, then came the trade company explorers: Samuel Hearne in 1770, Peter Pond in 1786 and Alexander Mackenzie in 1789. An outpost called Fort Providence was established near Wool Bay, 20 kilometres south of present day Yellowknife. It was a regional centre for trade between Aboriginals and European traders and explorers. The post was abandoned in the 1800s but the Aboriginal people stayed in the area, eventually congregating at a point of land on Yellowknife Bay’s east side – Dettah. What brought the white people back north was gold. Though the metal was first detected by prospectors passing through Great Slave Lake on their way to the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898, the Yellowknife area was considered just too isolated to spark any excitement.

Album Review: Tony Trischka - Earl Jam

Tony Trischka had no problem recruiting veterans and newcomers, traditionalists and modernists, to help bring his Earl Jam to life.

And that’s not surprising, considering Trischka built the arrangements around transcriptions of Earl Scruggs solos recorded during private jam sessions with John Hartford in the 1980s and ’90s that Trischka received during COVID-19 quarantine.

Billy Strings’ status as bluegrass’ future is confirmed as he leads a band including banjoists Trischka and Béla Fleck, mandolinist Sam Bush, fiddler Michael Cleveland and others on the LP-opening “Brown’s Ferry Blues.”

Later on, Bush supports another youngster, sharing vocal and instrumental duties with Molly Tuttle on “Dooley.” Yet another young voice in the old-time genre, Sierra Ferrell, is super-present with her voice from another time, fronting three of Earl Jam’s 15 cuts including “San Antonio Rose” and a stunning rendition of “Amazing Grace” with the McCrary Sisters adding support and whose reprise closes the album.

Veterans get involved, too, as Del McCoury and (most of) his eponymous Band take charge on “Roll on Buddy” and former Pure Prairie Leaguer and current Eagle Vince Gill sings the mournful “Bury Me Beneath the Willow.”

Vocalist Lindsay Lou; fiddlers Darol Anger, Brownyn Keith-Hynes, Brittany Haas and Stuart Duncan; mandolinist Dominick Leslie and Jacob Jolliff; guitarist Bryan Sutton; and others make cameos. Trischka, meanwhile, recreates Scruggs’ solos exactly as they unfolded on that lost-and-found recording to create a hybridized LP where sum and parts are equally impactful.

The Perry High School shooting was nothing new, and neither were the responses

One week. We couldn’t go one week into the new year without a school shooting happening. If that doesn’t sum us up as a country, I don’t know what does. As you may have heard, there was a school shooting this past Thursday at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa. This would have been the first day back for students after the holiday break. While the school was serving breakfast to some students…
