On the verso of this cabinet card was the statement that the photograph was taken in the spring of 1891. The verso also had the names, ages, and spouses listed on the back, but they were not listed in a way that would enable one to attach a name to a person in the picture. Most of these young ladies were connected through school, church, and a shared interest in music, as most of them appeared in Marshall, Michigan newspapers as participating in local musical programs. I’ve add a little information to each of the names, which follow as listed on the verso.

 

Mabel McNames was born in September 1878 in Marshall, Michigan, the daughter of Soloman K. McNames (1830-1916) and Josephine Adeline (last name unknown, 1855-1935). She was married in 1893 to Joseph Brooks; the couple had two children. In 1910, Mabel was a widow living in Detroit, Michigan with three children. She was living in Highland Park, Michigan for the 1930 census and had two boarders.

 

Mabel Lockwood and Vira Lockwood. Mabel was born 2 December 1877 and Elvira on 16 December 1879 in Marshall, Michigan, the daughters of Peter Lockwood (1842-1911) and Amelia Shutts (1845-1915). Mabel was married on 27 September 1911 to Frederick I. Colegrove (1858-1944); the couple did not have children. The couple relocated to Caliafornia and Mabel passed away in San Diego on 6 August 1948 while listening to the radio. Mabel’s sister Elvira never married and relocated to Long Beach, California. Elvira Lockwood committed suicide on 31 January 1926 over continued poor health.

 

Maude Wagner was born circa 1878 in Marshall, Michigan, the daughter of Martin V. Wagner (1845-1891) and Mary J. Wing (1849-1895). Maude studied to be a stenographer. On 11 July 1898 she married Milton Searles (1877-1950), and a newspaper account noted that Maude’s friends were very suprised by the marriage. The couple lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan for a short time, before returning to Marshall. Maude later suffered from an intestinal perforation and passed away on 1 February 1908 following surgery to correct the problem. The couple apparently did not have any children.

 

Mabel J. Phelps was born 14 January 1877 in Marshall, Michigan, the daughter of George Phelps (1828-1885) and Augusta C. Robbins (1838-1908). In 1880, Mabel was living with her parents and a brother, Winthrop, in Marshall.

Mabel Phelps passed away on 15 December 1966 in Marshall.

 

Jessie Jandell was born 10 March 1876 in Marshall, Michigan, the daughter of Edgar Jandell (1853-1926) and Nellie Sackett (born circa 1858).

Sarah and I just finished watching a Disney Vacation Club webcast (no, we aren't adding on, we just wanted the free lithograph they mail you if you watch it), and I have to say that while I love the experience of being DVC Owners, I think the marketing is becoming more and more disingenuous (possibly a byproduct of the poor economy--Disney can no longer retain its passivity compared to other pushy Timeshare sales practices? I don't know).

 

The things that I really found obnoxious were the supposed testimonies by current owners at the end. One, from a purported accountant, stated that after crunching the numbers, he determined DVC ownership was a financially savvy investment (not his exact words). Unless you are terrible at making investments, this is not the case. It's especially not the case if you purchase directly from Disney. The second testimonial was from a family claiming that, besides their house, their DVC ownership was their only asset that had appreciated in value. Unless they're living in some bizarro world, Timeshares do not appreciate in value; they are a diminishing asset. I know these comments are supposedly made by customers, but Disney is holding them out as true by including them in the webcast, and to me, they cross the line from mere puffery to a misrepresentation. I could easily see customers who fail to do their homework relying on statements such as those to make their purchase.

 

Obviously I understand that Disney wants to sell these units, and it has chosen to adopt a more aggressive strategy than in days past, but I still don't think it's necessary to be deceiving in the process. I certainly don't fault Disney for saying it's a "great incentive" to give me a 7-night cruise for four if I add on 200 points at $112/point, when I know I can head to the resale market and find a 200 point contract for $65/point, a difference of $9,400, which is far more than the cost of a 7-night cruise for 4... ;-P

Artist Statement

The platters I have sent to this exhibition combine several ceramic traditions. The first is, The Palace Art Pot. Palace Art Pots were made to demonstrate wealth and power. They were made to tell a story, to commemorate an event or a person, and to demonstrate skill and challenge the abilities of the artisans who made them. The second tradition is the Fish Platter. Fish platters were a staple of the Neo Arts and Crafts Movement of the 1950s and 60s. The third and last tradition is the One-Line visual and verbal Pun, Platters of the ceramic Funk Movement.

Humor through the use of the visual pun was a mainstay of the California Funk movement. Humor in clay has a tradition as old as the use of the material. I have always felt that humor has been given short shift as a serious emotion. Art work that uses humor and has been actively excised from collections of serious art. It may be that we do not understand the function of humor as well as we understand the function of the other emotions.

In the work presented I have tried to inject some humor into the decorative / commemorative object. The platters are big to give them a slightly overblown sense of their own importance and to be able to be viewed from a distance . They are meant for the wall and the table. The large size to fit the importance of large gatherings.

I have tried to replace historical patterns with objects reduced to pattern. Some of the objects are extensions of my environment or reflections of personal interests. Images of turn of the century technology, (the Machine Age), are a personal favorite. Subject matter ranges from humorous depiction of everyday objects to gender stereotypes. My abilities as A draftsman are limited but seem to be adequate for the kind and quality of image that the subject requires. They have a cartoon look as opposed to the crisp complexity of fine china.

The clay body, a red earthenware, is heavily potted and makes no secrete of its variations and flaws. The glaze work is in the Majolica style and is done very much like a watercolor on soft paper. The pots are fired twice. They are bisqued to cone 05 and glazed to cone 04. Some may have an additional firing to Cone 018 for low temperature luster and enamels. They are fired in an oxidizing atmosphere using an electric kiln.

This edit of a track by "Johnny Hammond Smith' is a natural merger of 60s and early 1970s jazz, with a soul that was getting into a funk on an exploration into ideas of 'groove'.

 

A 'spot the difference' between French and English Wiki explanations of the word 'Funk' is worthy of an essay in cultural studies and semantics:

 

"Selon certaines interprétations, le terme funk proviendrait de l'argot anglo-américain funky, qui signifie littéralement « puant », « qui sent la sueur », insulte traditionnellement adressée aux noirs par les WASP et reprise ensuite à leur compte par les artistes noirs tel que Horace Silver dans son morceau Opus de Funk (1953)." Wiki Fr 7.06.20

 

In contrast with:

"It is originally derived from Latin "fumigare" (which means "to smoke") via Old French "fungiere" and, in this sense, it was first documented in English in 1620. In 1784 "funky" meaning "musty" was first documented, which, in turn, led to a sense of "earthy" that was taken up around 1900 in early jazz slang for something "deeply or strongly felt".[6][7] Ethnomusicologist Portia Maultsby states that the expression "funk" comes from the Central African word "lu-funki" and art historian Robert Farris Thompson says the word comes from the Kikongo term "lu-fuki"; in both proposed origins, the term refers to body odor.[8] Thompson's proposed Kikongo origin word, "lu-fuki" is used by African musicians to praise people "for the integrity of their art" and for having "worked out" to reach their goals.[9] Even though in white culture, the term "funk" can have negative connotations of odor or being in a bad mood ("in a funk"), in African communities, the term "funk", while still linked to body odor, had the positive sense that a musician's hard-working, honest effort led to sweat, and from their "physical exertion" came an "exquisite" and "superlative" performance.

Wiki English. 7.06.20

 

From the late 60s to the early 70s, musicians from diverse backgrounds were becoming interesting in the word 'groove': both locking down and liberating the bass, rhythm guitar and drum, and ornamenting with 'hooks' rather than complected architectural changes to the armature of melody. 'Groove' was to dance to, and the dance of jazz bop clubs was blending with the dance of late soul music, as musicians such as drummer Bernard Purdie and organist Johnny Hammond took the two rivers to the bridge.

 

Whilst, with time, early funky 'orchestrations' would flood television, b-movie cinema and even feed into a style of music that would become known as Disco, the authenticity of this window-in-time keeps some of the music well away from watered down transformations, and as an island of creativity that would later be valued by the movement known as 'Acid Jazz'.

 

Johnny Hammond worked with the avant guard hardbop and soul-jazz 'Kudu records', and did what Jazz had always done - he took standards and reworked them into versions that were his own (here working with an arranger for the strings). The real difference with this moment in time was to start taking 'standards' from freshly written 'modern pop music'. The track 'Rock Steady' had been written and released by Aretha Franklin in 1971, only a year before Johnny Hammond's revision - so sounds were still 'hot', and, in a way, Hammond's team were already investigating ideas of 'remix'. Many decades later, remix artists from Andy Weatheral to Ludovic Navarre would turn an original song onto it's head to the point where the original is barely visible, and to an extent Jazzman Hammond did just that to Franklin's funkest song.

 

Aretha's live for the single release of 'Rock steady'

1971 live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2VDEl18rgQ

 

Aretha's live of 'Rock steady' by the LP release of 1972 - the track is now much slower and into the groove: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB5sMYw37gw

 

For Johnny Hammond's version, the beats were further slowed and everything was redirected to a trajectory from another melodic orbit. In short the song was no longer the same song and the cover version was virtually ... an original: almost certainly too different to provoke an injunction for intellectual property theft. This sort of appropriation and inspiration is normal for Jazz, but in the greater world of 'pop' it might be seen as the unnecessarily giving away of writing credits. Obviously 'Jazz integrity' was mixing with the pop mass market, and at the time everyone must have been happy with the shared publicity: drummer Bernard Purdie had worked on both versions, and they even released this Jazz version in time for Franklin's LP - 'Young gifted and black' in 1972. But still, a song credit of perhaps "Hammond, Purdie, Washington, Gale and Franklin" may not seem out of place to common sense.

 

One strata of the song's groove is presented by the guitar of Eric Gale (Melvin Sparks's guitar is also credited on the song, but I think the solo is Gales). Eric Gale's can be heard to be forming his style for his "Rock Steady" solo in this earlier Freddie Hubbard track from 1969: "A soul experiment" (from around 3 minutes 14).

www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8MR8B-X0A8&list=OLAK5uy_naNO...

 

By the time his solo had been recorded for Johnny Hammond, it sounded just like a ... Pink Floyd solo. Simplified - perhaps - but around the same speed and a similar interplay of lead with organ and rhythm guitar as a song with a different title and later release date. If you known Pink Floyd then perhaps have a listen to this Flickr post from around 1 minute 10.

 

There have always been remarks about similarities between Graham Nash's track "There's only one" and a famous Pink Floyd LP ending, and then there is this from around 3 minutes...

www.flickr.com/photos/ajmitchell-prehistory/49661297158/i...

With each of these mentioned tracks appearing prior to, or aside 'The Wall', 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Animals' respectively. Now the similarities are poetic, and the unique contribution of Pink Floyd's Richard Wright to music as a subject is never mentioned enough... but still - a nod of respect and even percentage royalty to poor musicians of rich spirit may make common sense.

 

At this point the narrative seems finished - loose enough to fit, and open-ended enough to allow for a little tailoring; the only thing is that the subject of musical originality vs musical cover is not quite over as the drummer for both projects was involved in a credit polemic about... The Beatles. 'He was in a funk and was the real drummer for many Beatles songs!' The subject of Bernard Purdie and the Beatles is perfectly covered here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz9EGGiOuso

 

It is perhaps worth remembering what 'groove' could be like before Bernard Purdi added his shufflin' funk to the kit. Johnny Hammond Smith shares some of his name with a fellow Jazz organist Jimmy Smith. Here is Jimmy Smith's 'Sermon' from 1958 - a twenty minute groove with a short final climax.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3X5J_wGHrw

It's a great track, but the drums a not doing much. Now listen again to Purdie on 'Rock Steady' - he has an Afrobeat lightness - almost akin to Alan Wren from recent years. Purdie was important to music and from the above mentioned Youtube documentary, it seems he worked with Atlantic records to open out the drumming for an unofficial remix of a pre 'Love me do' Beatles session with Tony Sheridan. As a man within both versions of 'Rock Steady', Purdie was perfectly placed to put a word in for Gale and co regarding Pink Floyd royalties, and one can question why he directed his energies exaggerating some unofficial and very early Beatles overdubs when he was part of Johnny Hammond's apparently highly "influential" 'Rock Steady' recording?! A rather smug Red Bull fuelled interview seems to have helped Purdie make crass generalised statements about 'Ringo not being the real drummer of The Beatles' - an exaggeration of meaning perhaps a little like the French Wiki for 'Funk' and its inability to appreciate the roots and diversity of earthy smells.

 

Johnny Hammond Smith was mentioned in another "music through the lens test" as having played with Clement Wells (see below) :

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKn1g4kpjU

 

This "Music: through the lens test' features an edited version of Rock Steady. The full version is here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5X0QI8k1jE

 

It's a detail, but the engineer for the track was the great Rudy Van Gelder and it was arranged and conducted by the very Bob James.

OK listen up, big change in Sundays plans.

 

No# 1 will be driven out to The Monkey Temple

by our resident niece. She's borrowing her dads

car to do this event with. Big Buddha celebration

on Sunday so there will be many Thais attending

this Buddhist event. The Nuns called no# 1 wife an

invited her to attend. Of course I was invited but # 1

has instructed me to rest.. Nuns agreed as they have

reported to no# 1 that when they see me at the temple

I'm moving quite slow and having some trouble getting

around the rough temple grounds. It is what it is ...........;-)

 

Right now some more new news has just been laid on me.

Tomorrow morning being Friday, no# 1, niece and her dad,

which is no# 1's brother, are all driving out to see the nuns.

This is also a recon run so our niece knows the way for when

they do Sundays adventure. Mama, Rocky and all the other dogs

will be very excited to see no# 1 tomorrow and on Sunday ..........;-)

Hello Flickr fans! Excited for my Los Angeles Landscape gallery show in December! Taking a break from finishing the HDR landscapes and finishing some goddesses for my 45surf surfline instead. :) The gallery artist statement will begin with something like:

 

"In every photograph you can see both where the photographer was standing and what they were thinking. So it is that this collection tells the story of my epic journey as no words ever could. And more importantly, I hope that it serves to guide and inspire you along a hero's journey of your own making, owning all the glorious rewards of the risks of your own taking." --Johnny Ranger McCoy

 

Back to the goddesses for the moment:

Hereford Cathedral

Herefordshire was under Norman Control before the Norman Conquest. They had been invited into the area to help subudue the local Welsh speaking population. Welsh language remaind strong in this area well after the Norman Conquest. Many Welsh place names are still to be found in Herefordshire and further north along the Welsh border in Shropshire also.
