I wish I remembered a little more from 20th century musicology but I have my notes somewhere.<br /><br />Pete Seeger's father, Charles, was a prominent musicologist and composer as well. Both he and Ruth developed a keen interest in preserving and popularizing folk music.<br /><br />There's a <a href="http://www.loc.gov/folklife/Seegersymposium/abouttheseegers.html" rel="nofollow">nice little summary</a> on the Seegers at the library of congress.Pete Gruetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572467982814679508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-67215912288639790582009-06-23T14:40:39.874-05:002009-06-23T14:40:39.874-05:00Whenever I hear "Pete Seeger," I picture...Whenever I hear "Pete Seeger," I picture a crazed man wielding a hatchet at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.<br /><br />What I didn't know about Seeger until fairly recently is that his mother, Ruth Crawford, was a gifted classical composer.illusory tenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524761974822871419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-55022663639506337252009-06-23T14:37:27.519-05:002009-06-23T14:37:27.519-05:00Murphy's spin is ridiculous -- Bice's stor...Murphy's spin is ridiculous -- Bice's story holds. And the new story is MM's pissing away credibility for an unethical hack of a "journalist."<br /><br />Basically Murphy argues that despite McBride and Flynn's romance/affection -- which as she acknowledged in her letter -- affected her ability to write the article -- all is ok because the two waited until she finished writing to jump into bed.<br /><br />As an aside, Murphy is a little soft as to when McBride's "input" into the editing process ended.<br /><br />Murphy's focus on a fake hyper-technicality is a sham. As her letter describes, she was writing a profile of a guy she was romancing even if they kept there pants on until the presses rolled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-12135460366991095732009-06-23T10:30:14.048-05:002009-06-23T10:30:14.048-05:00The microscopic analysis of the "timeline&quo...The microscopic analysis of the "timeline" is ridiculous. There are only 2 people who know what the "timeline" is - always was and always will be the case. The detailed plotting it out and focusing on it when no one else but the 2 of them will ever know detracts from the bigger picture. Murphy will be wellserved to drop the magnifying glass and quit focusing on the timeline, realize the implications of keeping her as a writer, admit it, and move on.<br />By Badgerbacker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-46108328885810514882009-06-23T10:06:55.301-05:002009-06-23T10:06:55.301-05:00I feel for him.

The latter thought methamphetamine would help him cover a board meeting.

The onus is on the magazine, and that...Yes, indeed. The onus is on the magazine, and that's not right. One offshoot of this situation is that the Bucher and McBride joined family might need some counseling. I wonder about the stepchildren and their mother. All none of our business as far as the details, but perhaps the family might benefit from the many social services available to similar families in Waukesha County and elsewhere. There are many homes where stepchildren grow up in a family where the new parent is unfaithful, and there can be huge problems. These agencies are there to help.Michael Hornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398194263255490901noreply@blogger.com
