This is a very informative post on Justin Holland’s “Spanish Fandango.” I have excerpted it on AfriClassical.blogspot.com Justin Holland (1819-1887) is profiled at AfriClassical.com, and is frequently featured on the website’s companion blog, AfriClassical. Congratulations for highlighting a deserving composer!

Comment on roots of New Orleans funeral music by Lucas Gonze

Trevor, I’m about three chapters into Jelly Roll’s autobiography. Fantastic read so far. But I haven’t gotten to the end yet…

Blind Tom’s grave was a really pathetic end. He was buried as a pauper in an unmarked grave after being an incredible cash cow for managers all his life, because to his managers he was no more than a broken piece of farm equipment.

Thanks for stopping by.

Comment on roots of New Orleans funeral music by Trevor Balding

I see what you mean by the Spanish Theme, especially the fingerstyle entre … then swinging it’s way into the blues ( bap, bap bap bap).

I’ve got a load of old Jelly Roll and W.C.Handy tracks if you ever feel the urge. Did you ever read that Jelly Roll Morton didn’t have any music played at his funeral ? It seems that he died in the blues tradition, poverty stricken.

Thanks

Trev :-)

Comment on Punk and amazement by victor

well, to split some hairs I saw both the pistols and the clash (and the ramones for that matter) and they definitely had guitar solo breaks but point taken wrt to attitude, esp. at the very early stages. (Note that no matter how “bad” a group of musicians are, if they go on the road for 5 years they can’t help but get proficient at their craft no matter what their attitude is.)

2nd: The whole musical backlash thing (“we’re not Yes/King Crimson/Foghat/etc.”) reached even “real” musicians – Elvis Costello came very close to not hiring Bruce Thomas because he admitted to liking Steely Dan.

but my point was that punk was not just another musical genre in the UK – there it had mass, numbers and broad cultural impact. Punk, like reggae, didn’t happen in the US because, really, there was nothing about to relate to – these were someone else’s fight (having said that, don’t ask me to explain the rise of “urban” hip hop amongst suburban boys lol)

I did not know the Oscar Meyer song was that old. I love the idea of that simple page!
