  4. Hace más de 70 años la perdida de una niña provocó uno de los más sorprendentes descubrimientos de la historia de la música.

    Tanto, que las consecuencias de aquel suceso aún latiendo en el alma de muchas músicas.

    Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, la historia de Elizabeth Cotten.

  7. #nowplaying - #peteseeger put out so many LPs on #folkways that many are analogous to semi-casual bandcamp drops. side A of "the rainbow quest" from 1960 is pete in one of my favorite tender/mellow modes, including the 1st recording of "where have all the flowers gone," except all the songs are medlied together as choruses/fragments, intended for somber collegiate singalongs, i suspect. side B is more topical/newsy, bringing #ewanmaccoll / #peggyseeger songs to american ears.

    More and more often I find myself thinking of Peggy Seeger’s song of choice, which eloquently and emotionally reminds us to participate in society and try to live responsibly
