SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Adobe Hacienda” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP_YR7MoIfI  Yesterday I was entertaining in an assisted living home and a woman, laden with an oxygen tank and barely able to talk, told me she was from New Mexico. So, I played her “Adobe Hacienda,” a forgotten gem from the 1940s that I discovered by happenstance on a 78. The original recording of this Western Swing “cowboy song” was written and performed by Louise Massey & The Westerners, a band of siblings who skillfully sang, wrote, and played a corral full of instruments. Louise played piano and became the band’s cynosure because of her flamboyant Spanish-style costumes. In the 1930s-40s, The Masseys successfully recorded, toured, appeared in 3 movies, and became radio stars. Louise made Roswell, New Mexico her home, where she wrote this song. It brings warmth to the atmosphere of the great and mysterious southwest while describing a working person’s idyll, adorned with love and inner sunshine. When I play it, I feel like I’m sitting in her patio in a twilight zone.

2019 Kentucky Winter Music Weekend
My musical goals and focus shift in 2019. I’ve reached a level of proficiency with banjo where I’m willing to welcome some distractions. I have a queue of instruments and objectives. Lofty goals. And still work to do on fiddle and banjo alike, but work I am equipped to navigate. I want to check out some jams this year and many events are on my radar.
So along comes Kentucky Winter Music Weekend. It’s always held the first weekend in January, but this year it relocated to Bardstown from Louisville. I signed up and packed my bags.
The first session I took was guitar with Dave Para. There was only one other student and he was not as rusty as me. It was a great crash course in flat picking and finger style. I was looking for a tasting on these techniques. After the bluegrass jamming class in November, I find myself more motivated to practice rhythm guitar. I think if I keep at it the flat picking will come naturally for me. I was perplexed by the finger style. I understood the concepts and techniques, but felt like I was fighting my fingers. Guitar picking aside, spending time with Dave was a joy. I have a list of odd notes of artists and tunes to look into.

For the next session I took Danny Shepherd’s dulcimer jamming class. I thought it might give me an opportunity to practice playing chords in a group, which it did. This was a really good class. Danny is so fun to be around already, but his simple step by step approach helped all of us feel more comfortable and confident. We worked through a few common jam tunes and Danny walked through how dulcimer jams typically run, what to do, when to do it, etc. It was a really relaxed setting and enjoyable class.

I confess I skipped the concert. I was pretty wiped out, but the concert always is worth coming for if you do nothing else.
Sunday morning I was late to the hymn sing, but managed to catch the last 20 minutes. There was a rather rowdy exchange of jokes and merriment at one point. I might have to try to come to more of these.
For the next session I got out my uke, but still hung out with Danny. We did some strumming and singing of cowboy tunes on ukulele. This gave me a great chance to practice my singing while strumming. We worked on a wonderful selection of tunes and Danny offered tips on playing finger style and adding in passing chords to make songs more interesting. Very fun class.
Tumblr media
Last, I went to a singing session with Dave Para and Cathy Barton. It was so good to see Cathy. We shared songs and had a lovely sing along with some New Years themed tunes mixed in. It was a great way to end the weekend and start the year!

As a seeker of books and other antiquarian printed pieces, I am always on the prowl for forgotten gems. Sometimes it’s a beautiful signed Dulac book tucked away in a dusty antique store showcase or an extraordinary family photo album with typed narration of a journey along the East Coast during the Great Depression.
But this week, the chance to bring amazing voices back to life, was my favorite find.
Six record albums or groups of records, each amazing and hard to find, allowed me to experience music, some of which I’ve never heard before and it’s a good bet not many other people have had a chance to experience this collection.
First, here are the albums:
Lightnin’ Hopkins – Country Blues – Tradition Records – TLP 1035 – Recorded and edited by Mack McCormick, copyright 1959. This is the original, with appropriate label, not the later repress.
Leadbelly – Keep Your Hands Off Her – Verve Folkways (MGM Records) – FVS-9021 – 1965.
King Oliver – Joker International Production – C89/6 – 1984 – Six record set of Joseph Joe “King” Oliver’s music from 1923-1931. Printed in Italy.
Jelly Roll Morton and Red Hot Peppers and Trios – The Saga of Mister Jelly Lord – Joker International Production – C70/7 – 1981. Printed in Italy. 7 LPs.
Blues – Josh White, Jack Dupree, Sonny Terry, Nora Lee King, Mary Lou Williams, Woody Guthrie – Asch Records – Album #550 – 1944 – Four 78 r.p.m. records.
Negro Folksongs sung by Leadbell (Work Songs, Spirituals, Country Dances, Cowboy, Bad Man, Bad Woman) – Disc Company of America – #660 – 1943 – Three 78 r.p.m. records.
#gallery-0-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
So there they are, each with their own type of musical personality yet all, despite some being printed by a knock-off king in Italy, are American music at its core. Yes, there are Island and African influences, French and even Gaelic spices tossed in but this little collection brings what mainly exists solely today through digital sources on the true analog sweetness of the spinning disc.
And yes, MGM did manipulate Leadbelly into the world of stereo on Keep Your Hands Off Her but the core is there, the energy of his life’s experiences come through despite the machinery. Each of these great records are remnants of what was and what amazingly is coming back to life, the pressed record.
The numbers of newly created albums are increasing despite the little jukeboxes living in everyone’s pocket or purse. There is something that is captured in those aptly named grooves that is a direct connection to the sonic vibrations that sprang from an old guitar or the voices of musicians that lived in the real world.
If you have any interest in purchasing any or all of these records, please drop me a line at [email protected]
Until then, Jelly Roll, Leadbelly and I will be sitting here, reflecting on the days that produced this country’s theme songs.
A surprise visit by Jelly Roll, Leadbelly, Lightnin’ and a King As a seeker of books and other antiquarian printed pieces, I am always on the prowl for forgotten gems.

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: BY REQUEST! CHATTANOOGA-CHOO-CHOO & MORE FROM THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/album/by-request-chattanooga-choo-choo-more-from-the-great-american-songbook
 —i.e. pop standards, showtunes, cowboy songs …For some time I've been performing these songs in assisted living homes, providing musical service to people in various stages of dementia and disability. There is proof-positive that music reaches into more areas of the brain than language, math, and other forms of communication. I've seen miraculous things happen to people who are considered to be "disconnected"--suddenly, they're singing, clapping, toe-tapping, dancing...all from singing these familiar tunes. Staff members at these homes tell me the music helps the residents to eat and sleep better. Recovery I see takes anywhere from weeks to mere minutes.  Some of the folks I entertain are deep in "memory care." Others had strokes or other set-backs. Some are as young as 40-something. Others are well into their 90s and beyond (including World War II veterans). I've played many homes around the San Francisco Bay Area and Oregon. Residents requested these songs, and I recorded them for their enjoyment when I’m not around.**IMPORTANT: I am seeking financial support to keep doing the care home work (I collect a fee, but it doesn't cover all my expenses for travel and gear). When you download this album, you have the option of paying zero or any amount you can afford. All proceeds go toward providing more music for the residents. Thank you!**
