Apache: The Shadows
The Shadows, though not very big in the US, were successful in the UK during the early 1960s, pretty much at the same time as the Beatles. But even in the US, this instrumental was a song that every garage band of the time couldn’t wait to learn in order to play it at their high school get-togethers.

Happy Campers
Ever since I was a child, the summer meant freedom and joy, and summer’s end was always bittersweet. Now filmmaker Amy Nicholson captures that feeling even into adulthood with her new documentary Happy Campers, about a low rent trailer/camper community whose simple pleasures are threatened by greedy real estate developers.
I was happy to speak with Amy Nicholson about her film on Arts Express radio program broadcast this week on WBAI FM and Pacifica affiliates across the nation.

Three By Caitlin Johnstone
If you feel like us, that our concerns in this election cycle have been stuffed into the washer and hung up to dry, and that the elections are a senseless distraction, take heart. Mary Murphy and myself have come to the rescue. We perform three short pieces by the great Caitlin Johnstone, and they’re the the last segments you’ll ever need to hear again about the the so-called elections. Halleluljah.

Arc de Triomphe
Blues Run The Game
Monday morning, a haunting song by Jackson C. Frank, a folk singer who was not well known, but was influential. Simon & Garfunkel recorded this song for their Sounds of Silence album, but it didn’t make it into the original release. Years later, it was added as a bonus track to the Sounds of Silence CD. If Jackson Frank’s arrangement sounds very early Paul Simon-ish here, it’s because Paul Simon was the producer of Frank’s only album.
