Pre-History of Rock N Roll
We call this the *roots* section!

Beginning a musical journey and task such as the *History of Rock n Roll* is often a foolish venture into the insane. The more information you find tends to create other issues such as checking facts from here to there. If one book, website, or *expert* states something, you will find at least 20 others that disagree. So? It becomes a task to weed through what is relevant and vital to take you on this journey.

Why are we doing this?

The answer is simply explained like this--it's our history. It takes the good, bad, and ugly of our history and creates one of the finest exports of American spirit and creativity the world has seen. Of course most of the musical genres are based from the homelands of earlier Americans. However, it took some great Americans to sell it to the rest of the world and sometimes to fellow Americans.

The second answer is even quicker to explain--because we can!

What we hope to accomplish?

Education, amusement, entertainment, and hopefully a better understanding and appreciation of those Americans that came before us. It is also a hope that the next generations of Americans will preserve our history through music.

~ The Roots ~
*Americana*

Definition: This is a  clever term for *American Roots Music* or *American Folk Music*.
As with most countries, there are songs that were written specifically about an event, everyday life,  celebrations, or songs that were made for social awareness. The list below is just a sampling of these songs. If you want a better listing, please visit here. In truth, folk music is storytelling in a lyrical way.

*Keep in mind most of the early American songs were composed lyrically by Americans, but the music was usually taken from England, Ireland, Scotland, or elsewhere.*

Enjoy!

 

Pete Seeger	John Brown's Body
Mitch Miller	When Johnny Comes Marching Home (Civil War)
Kessinger Brothers *The song was brought from England, but was geared for Americans during the struggle against the mother country.	The Girl I Left Behind Me (Revolutionary War)
Mitch Miller *Believe it or not, this song was written by two Americans in 1912.	When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
Various Artists	I've Been On Working On The Railroad
Bobby Horton	Bonnie Blue Flag (Civil War)
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir	The Star Spangled Banner (War of 1812)
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir *Following the war with the Barbary Pirates in 1805, when Lieutenant Presely N. O'Bannon and his small force of Marines participated in the capture of Derne and hoisted the American flag for the first time over a fortress of the Old World, the Colors of the Corps was inscribed with the words: "To the Shores of Tripoli." They just kept building the song from there. From USMC website. This has the first 2 versions.	Marine's Hymn
Mormon Tabernacle Choir *The music used in this song was *borrowed* from *Old English Air* which is the song used for *God Save The Queen*. By the way, the Third Reich also used the music later on.  MoJo prefers America's version!	(America) My Country Tis Of Thee

 

~ The Roots ~
*Ragtime*

Definition: Ragtime is an American musical genre, enjoying its peak popularity around the years 1900–1918. Ragtime is a dance form written in 2/4 or 4/4 time, and utilizing a walking bass, that is, the bass note played legato on the 1-3 beats with a staccato chord played on the 2-4 beats. Much ragtime is written in Sonata form, with four distinct themes and a modified first theme appearing in the work. Ragtime music is syncopated, with the melodic notes landing largely on the off-beats.

More Information:
Ragtime originated in African-American musical communities, in the mid/late 19th century, and descended from the jigs and marches played by all-black bands common in all Northern cities with black populations (van der Merwe 1989, p.63). By the start of the 20th century it became widely popular throughout North America and was listened and danced to, performed, and written by people of many different subcultures. A distinctly American musical style, ragtime may be considered a synthesis of African-American syncopation and European classical music, though this description is oversimplified. Credit belongs here.

We do have some very old recordings, but it would be very hard to distinguish the sound. We do offer you the *King Of Ragtime*. Keep in mind, ragtime music was played before Scott Joplin. He just popularized it. Most folks believe ragtime must only be piano compilations. For the most they were, but not all the time. This is merely a sampling to give you an idea of what style of music we're discussing!

Enjoy!

 

Scott Joplin	Maple Leaf Rag
Scott Joplin	The Entertainer
Irving Berlin *Written in 1911. The song itself is considered more a march than a *rag*. However, it did spark a revival for ragtime music!	Alexander's Ragtime Band
Scott Joplin	Pineapple Rag
Scott Joplin	Cakewalk

 

~ The Roots ~
*The Blues*

Definition: The blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on a pentatonic scale and a characteristic twelve-bar chord progression. The form evolved in the United States in the communities of former African slaves from spirituals, praise songs, field hollers, shouts, and chants. The use of blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are indicative of the blues' West African pedigree. The blues has been a major influence on later American and Western popular music, finding expression in ragtime, jazz, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, hip-hop, and country music, as well as conventional pop songs.

The phrase the blues is a synonym for having a fit of the blue devils, meaning low spirits, depression and sadness. An early reference to this can be found in George Colman's farce Blue devils, a farce in one act (1798). Later during the 19th century, the phrase was used as a euphemism for delirium tremens and the police. Though usage of the phrase in African American music may be older, it has been attested to since 1912 in Memphis, Tennessee with W. C. Handy's "Memphis Blues".[1][2] In lyrics the phrase is often used to describe a depressed mood.[3] Credit belongs here.

Below follows a small sampling of earlier Blues musicians. For more Blues music, check for acad1228's *Dose Of Da Blues*. If you love the early blues, then you'll love this section!


Enjoy!

 

W.C Handy	Mister Crump
Blind Lemon Jefferson	Match Box Blues
Leadbelly	Pick A Bale Cotton
Ma Rainey	Black Bottom
Big Bill Broonzy	The Bank's Blues
Mississippi John Hurt	Stack O' Lee Blues
Bessie Smith	The St. Louis Blues
Charley Patton	High Water Everywhere Pt. 1
Son House	Walkin Blues
Blind Boy Fuller	Rag Mama Rag

 

 

~ The Roots ~
*Western Swing*

Definition: This very popular style of Country Music developed in Texas and Oklahoma the 1930's and saw enormous popularity in the 40's. The style is a blend of big band, blues, dixieland, and jazz, among others. Musically, it contributed the drums and Hawaiian Steel Guitar to Country Music. It was a Saturday night dance type of music which combined the style of jazz and big band swing with the culture of the Southwest. Credit belongs here.

One of the ways to get folks into country music is to take the *W* side of C & W. Western Swing influence on Rockabilly was evident years later. If you listen to Western Swing, you'll notice how most of the genres seemed to have it's own versions of the popular music of the time. In other words, city folks were into Big Bands and Swing Jazz. While their country counterparts, were swinging with Western Swing.

Enjoy!

 

Bob Wills *Although considered the *King Of Western Swing*, many believed that title belonged to Spade Cooley first.	Take Me Back To Tulsa
Bob Wills	Roly Poly
Hackberry Ramblers	Jolie Blonde
Light Crust Doughboys *Honestly, Ma complains about the naming of some of today's bands. She obviously fails to mention names like this, huh?	Texas Song Of Pride *Guess which member of MoJo's house chose this song??
Jimmie Revard & His Oklahoma Playboys	Hillbilly Swing
Spade Cooley	Boggs Boogie
Al Dexter	Saturday Night Boogie
Lone Star Playboys	Banjo Boogie
Sons Of The Pioneers	Ragtime Cowboy Joe
Texas Jim Lewis	Happy Roving Cowboy

 

~ The Roots Pt. 1 ~
*Jazz Music*

Definition: Jazz is an original American musical art form, originating around the early 1920's in New Orleans, rooted in Western music technique and theory, and is marked by the profound cultural contributions of African Americans. It is characterized by blue notes, syncopation, swing, call and response, polyrhythms, and improvisation. Jazz has been described as "America's Classical Music".

We could spend a few weeks doing the influence of Jazz music on Rock *n* roll. However, we don't have that much time. We will do a tribute to Jazz music later on in the year. And besides, the following is merely a sample!

Enjoy!

 

Louis Armstrong *A little bit of Jazz, Blues, R&B, and a whole lot of talent!	Rock My Soul
Artie Shaw	Goodnight, Angel
Glenn Orchestra	American Patrol
Count Basie	Shout and Feel It
Louis Prima	Sing, Sing, Sing (With A Swing)
Benny Goodman	Stompin' At The Savoy
Miles Davis & Charlie Parker	Crazeology
Dizzy Gillespie	A Night In Tunisia
Duke Ellington	Jack The Bear

I had trouble getting to the www.sarahcutter.com link, so I bookmarked the following link:
http://www.sarahcutter.com/showslist.html It's a work in progress, so some of the "show links" don't lead to anything yet, but if you click on the "Vids List" it leads to the list of shows that are ready. The videos are not by the artists but are created with their songs and film footage from the shows indicated. Be sure to let sarahcutter@aol.com know if you have notice any problems with the site or the videos because I emailed when I could not get the "Wounded Soldier" video to play and they sent me an email saying it was "reloaded" and now it plays just fine.


This is from the email I received from sarahcutter@aol.com after I asked if it was okay to post links at freerepublic to play or download videos at the sarahcutter site: "I don't mind if you post the link for the vids. I would greatly prefer people download them as it uses less bandwidth than playing them directly from the site. Kelly http://www.sarahcutter.com "

Slovene and U.S. national guardsmen meet during a joint military exercise near Ptuj, Slovenia, on this Sept. 7, 2005 file photo. Slovene media and opposition leaders on Friday Jan 13 2006 slammed a government decision to deploy four army officers to Iraq to train security forces there. In an apparent shift in foreign policy, the government decided on Thursday to send four soldiers to help prepare Iraqi security troops on the outskirts of Baghdad.

 

Ptuj (pronounced pat- too ee-) reactionaries totally rejected the use of the Pa too ee Force (Force, get it?) in a joint statement announcinmg that that the Force was not with the Four.

CORRECTION from previous post, I mistyped and put .wav after one of the music video links, so here it is:
