Riverside County, CA
Steel Development House Number 2 is one of seven all-steel homes-all clustered in the same neighborhood-created by the architectural team of Donald Wexler and Ric Harrison, the structural engineer Bernard Perlin, and the builder Alexander Construction Company. The house is primarily composed of steel and glass on a concrete foundation with no structural wood and represents a unique synthesis of off-site prefabrication and on-site assembly. The house exemplifies simple yet elegant concepts in midcentury modern design plus the novel use of steel construction, demonstrating the possibilities for rapidly-assembled and affordable homes for the middle class that were designed to withstand the harsh desert environment. The property has excellent integrity in all aspects, and appears much as it did as built.

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Listed: October 7, 2011
This rural forest-like estate historic district was the residence of Luis Muñoz Marín from the 1940s until his death in 1980. Luis Muñoz Marín was the first Puerto Rican governor elected by the people. Luis Muñoz Marín is also called the “Father of Modern Puerto Rico,” a key figure in the development and implementation of Operation Commonwealth, Operation Bootstrap and Operation Serenity, one of the most revered leaders in Puerto Rico’s history, Luis Muñoz Marín is one of the most important political figures of the Americas in the Twentieth Century.
Previous to his tenure as the first home-rule governor, Muñoz Marín had a distinguished careers in journalism, as both a reporter and director of a newspaper, and political activism. After returning from the United States where he studied as a young man and adult, Muñoz Marín joined the Socialist Party and the Free Federation of Workers of Puerto Rico. Both groups were dedicated to fight against poverty and the inequality suffered by Puerto Ricans, causes that he fervently endorsed. He campaigned across Puerto Rico extensively and participated in workers strikes to better the conditions of workers. During the Great Depression Muñoz Marín and others popular figures effectively convinced President Roosevelt to extend the New Deal and other important efforts into Puerto Rico. All the meanwhile, Muñoz Marín and his associates were taking their political campaign to the next level and established the PPD, the Popular Democratic Party (Partido Popular Democrático), which won twenty-nine out of seventy-six municipalities in the following election. In the 1948 general elections, Luis Muñoz Marín became the first Puerto Rican governor elected by the popular vote. His election as Governor stood up against hunger, injustice, ignorance, sickness and oppression. By the 1950s, after the implementation of Operations Commonwealth and Bootstrap, an “economic miracle” was taking place in Puerto Rico; the Island was now a modern urban-industrial society.
The main house is made mostly of concrete, with the exception of wood doors and windows. One of the most impressive features is an L-shaped balcony accessible from the sizeable living area. The main house and office contain all the furniture, art, books and household items from the time Luis Muñoz Marín and his wife lived on the property.
The library/personal office is another concrete building contributing to this historic property listing. The spaces in the library have all the period furniture, books and items of its owner on display just as he left them when he died. The library/personal office was built in 1965 along with an administrative office and archive building used mostly by Mr. Marín’s staff. Both buildings are significant because these were the spaces which Marín used to write his Memoirs and the other where important documents were first stored and organized.
Down a short pathway is the bohío, built in 1948, where the family gathered for activities and important meeting with dignitaries where held. The bohío was expanded by the family many times over the years and even replaced when it was damaged by a fallen tree in 1998. Though the original bohío does not stand, the historical significance of this space is not lost. Today’s version is a rectangular wooden shed supported by five columns wide, six columns in length and two center columns. All beams and rafters are wood, the floor concrete patterns, and the ceiling is built with Palm tree foliage covered in zinc shingles.

The ATSF Steam Locomotive #3415 is a Class 3400 Pacific-type passenger engine built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1919. It was operated by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) Railroad for 34 years and was donated to the City of Abilene in 1955. It sat in Eisenhower Park until 1996 when it was removed from the park for restoration. The locomotive is now situated on an abandoned segment of the Rock Island Railroad track that is used by the Abilene-Smoky Valley Railroad, a not-for-profit organization that operates a railroad museum and excursion train. When not in use, the locomotive is stored in the engine house at 411 South Elm Street in Abilene, Dickinson County, Kansas.
Locomotive #3415 is a Pacific-type 4-6-2 passenger engine built in 1919. The 4-6-2 designation refers to the engine's wheel arrangement - the first number notes the number of leading wheels, the second number notes the number of driver wheels, and the third number notes the number of trailing wheels. It is one of only three 4-6-2 3400 class Pacific type steam locomotives remaining in Kansas, and the only member of the class that is operational.

A typical WWVA Saturday Midnight Jamboree crowd waiting to enter the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling to witness a stage presentation of this weekly feature which has gained nation-wide fame. Some of the radio artists who participate in the famous WWVA Jamborees are pictured in this booklet in individual groups.
One of the most remarkable features of this outstanding WWVA activity is the fact that a large percentage of each Jamboree's audience is made up of persons living outside of the Wheeling district. It is a common occurance for persons to come from as far as 200 miles to attend a Jamboree. An attendance record of 3400 for a single performance has been set by the WWVA Saturday Midnight Jamboree. These radio shows are held every Saturday night at eleven o'clock at the million dollar Capitol Theatre in Wheeling.

On this, my final Off-Ramp Album of the Week Blog, I want to take space to thank my colleague John Rabe, who took my penchant for decorating my cubicle with old records to undreamt-of heights. His trust that I might have a thing or two to say became a weekly feature spanning 118 albums. I also want to thank my editors, especially Kevin Ferguson and James Kim, who no doubt juggled deadlines with this byline many a time. Thanks for your patience and guidance.
I’m also thankful for the 5,945 views on flickr, and to all those who “liked” and “shared” on Facebook. Those who made a point of seeking this out on the KPCC page, those who left comments, mange takk! In the words of David Ossman, who used the phrase to describe his Firesign Theatre, Album of the Week Blog was “held precious by a precious few.” You know who you are. You are loved.
Before we get to our final LP, I have to obsess slightly over the ones that got away. I had certainly meant to feature New Order, but which album? When their bassist Peter Hook visited for a chat with Take Two’s Alex Cohen, my regret at this omission was personified. No John Coltrane, no Eric Dolphy! For shame! David Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember My Name nearly made it various weeks, as did the seminal Spiritual Unity by Albert Ayler. And then there were discs important by their very neglect: Reverend Overstreet, His Electric Guitar, His Four Sons, and the Church of God in Christ is a little-known gospel gem on Arhoolie Records. Down by Lee Highway by Grayson and Whitter, Farida Khanum, Ram Narayan, Ebenezer Obey and His Inter-Reformers Band…so many deserved albums, so little time.
I’ve one more digression: live concerts I’ve seen that left a mark. The very first incarnation of The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Wendy Waldman in her heyday, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Yvonne Loriod playing Messiaen’s The Awakening of the Birds in the presence of the composer, Bernd Alois Zimmerman’s Die Soldaten at Alice Tully Hall in New York City, Turkish musicians in Los Angeles, Son House, B.B. King, Muddy Waters! Sun Ra every time I saw him. Of course, every live music event leaves its essence and memories.
Carla Bley did a fine job of herding cats when bringing together a disparate group of iconoclasts for Escalator Over the Hill for the Jazz Composers Orchestra Association. It’s an experimental work – more like theater of the mind than jazz. This is probably the only time Linda Ronstadt, Viva, Don Preston, Sheila Jordan, Don Cherry, and Jack Bruce (and many others) share the same album. Carla Bley owes a debt to Kurt Weil, but she is very much her own composer, and the late Paul Haines’ words have a way of sticking around in your head for decades. I can thank him for this gem which helped me quit cigarettes: “You’ve got to give up/What you don’t really want/To get what you do.” - True, that. Listen to the sample for how vocals lead in and out of a blistering electric guitar solo by John McLaughlin on Rawalpindi Blues.
For the future of this blog, check back with scorchedear.com.
Oops! Time for my escalator to go over the hill.
Dasvidanya!

I was three years old when Che Guevara was assassinated, but as a ‘red diaper’ baby I grew up with this image always around. While my sense of Che was simplistic, I knew he was a hero of an historic revolution.
I know a bit more now. The image, based on a 1960 photo by Albert Korda, is still charged, full of meaning, although I’m wondering what’s left.
A few years ago, a small fashion spread in a local weekly featured a young woman in a baby T featuring the famous Che image priced at $89. That was a head shaker.
The Communication Arts cover is linked to two articles inside. One article is a rambling article about design and life in Cuba which briefly mentions the image of Che. The second is an article about a Cuban born illustrator who has lived in America since his family fled Cuba over 25 years ago.
The Cuban born artist, Edel Rodriguez, was commissioned to create the cover. He explains it as “A wired Cuban generation seeks the status of our logo culture as we seek the rebel status of theirs.” In this context – the icon swooshed and plugged in on the cover of an expensive magazine about advertising with a nod to the power of Cuba‘s caché as a rebel brand – it still feels to me a bit like displaying Che’s head on a pike at the gate of America.
But I did buy it, so I’m the sucker.
The cover on the left is the magazine for the V&A Museum, which I just found on the weekend. The cover story is an article by Rick Poyner which goes along with a show exploring the life of Korda’s image of Che.
Apparently, this image of Che has been used to brand wine, cigarettes, soda... In Australia there is Cherry Guevara ice cream.
Poynter writes “While critics argue that photographers cannot expect to control the meaning of their work, there is something distasteful about the way that Che’s image has been twisted around to endorse everything he opposed.” Understatement.
The article (and the show) includes Korda’s original contact sheet, which I think is a fascinating artifact.

The main house is made mostly of concrete, with the exception of wood doors and windows. One of the most impressive features is an L-shaped balcony accessible from the sizeable living area. The main house and office contain all the furniture, art, books and household items from the time Luis Muñoz Marín and his wife lived on the property.
The library/personal office is another concrete building contributing to this historic property listing. The spaces in the library have all the period furniture, books and items of its owner on display just as he left them when he died. The library/personal office was built in 1965 along with an administrative office and archive building used mostly by Mr. Marín’s staff. Both buildings are significant because these were the spaces which Marín used to write his Memoirs and the other where important documents were first stored and organized.
Down a short pathway is the bohío, built in 1948, where the family gathered for activities and important meeting with dignitaries where held. The bohío was expanded by the family many times over the years and even replaced when it was damaged by a fallen tree in 1998. Though the original bohío does not stand, the historical significance of this space is not lost. Today’s version is a rectangular wooden shed supported by five columns wide, six columns in length and two center columns. All beams and rafters are wood, the floor concrete patterns, and the ceiling is built with Palm tree foliage covered in zinc shingles.

Highlighted New Listing – April 27, 2012
Dickinson County, KS
The ATSF Steam Locomotive #3415 is a Class 3400 Pacific-type passenger engine built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1919. It was operated by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (ATSF) Railroad for 34 years and was donated to the City of Abilene in 1955. It sat in Eisenhower Park until 1996 when it was removed from the park for restoration. The locomotive is now situated on an abandoned segment of the Rock Island Railroad track that is used by the Abilene-Smoky Valley Railroad, a not-for-profit organization that operates a railroad museum and excursion train. When not in use, the locomotive is stored in the engine house at 411 South Elm Street in Abilene, Dickinson County, Kansas.
Locomotive #3415 is a Pacific-type 4-6-2 passenger engine built in 1919. The 4-6-2 designation refers to the engine's wheel arrangement - the first number notes the number of leading wheels, the second number notes the number of driver wheels, and the third number notes the number of trailing wheels. It is one of only three 4-6-2 3400 class Pacific type steam locomotives remaining in Kansas, and the only member of the class that is operational.
