“There is no light without the dark. This is your life – find your spark…” from “This is your life” by John Lathrop

Peter Jackson when in discussions on “Get Back” said he discovered the Beatles music when he was 12 years old after purchasing 2 double compilations. He said the music “lifted his spirits” ,it made him feel good. All of the music I am going to share with you has lifted my spirits in many ways. It has been another tough year for everyone. I know I have had my share of ups and downs, with some medical procedures impacting my life. So we all needed our spirits lifted. Nothing better than music to keep us going. It has been an amazing year for music. It was quite a year for Beatles fans with the release of “Get Back” several reissues, and groups like The Poppermost keeping that sound going. It’s been an amazing year for pop rock [ thank you so much Big Stir Records]. I have discovered a lot of new music with artists like Allison Russell, Adia Victoria, Dorothea Paas, Novelty Island, Fryars ,and The Babblers. Plus the re-discovery of the amazing Tot Taylor has really made me happy. So it is late and I apologize for taking so long to get going here , but I am ready to share my list. I will start with my top 20. After that selections will be in random order. There will also be a link for all my videos of the year. So here are my choices for musical dreamers. Come along and dream with me.

1] Allison Russell- “Outside Child”….

“Then I heard that Rock and Roll. And I saw my deliverance “

So I checked her Facebook page and found a wealth of articles about her full of high praise. She has a tragic back story ,but the tra

    The main characters are presented, including the three sons: Mike aged 18, Robbie aged 14, Chip aged 7, and Tramp the dog. The basic relationships within the family are established, that Steven Douglas is of Scottish descent, and has been a widower for six years.

    Chip gets a phone call from Dorine Peters and he is not happy about it. Plus, his brothers tease him. Chip tells Steve that Dorine is always making eyes at him and telling him she loves him. Steve insists Chip be nice and patient with Dorine and she will probably get over her crush. Later, Bub tells the boys that Steve is having dinner with Hal (Harlan Warde) and Nancy Mosby. They apparently are always trying to find a wife for Steve. Hal and Nancy introduce Pamela MacLish (Patricia Barry) to Steve. Pamela invites Steve over to dinner the next night. Steve is under the impression that there will be other people at the dinner, but it is just him and Pamela. Steve starts to feel that Pamela has marriage on her mind. Chip gets invited to a dance with Dorine and Steve wants him to go. Dorine comes by the house and Chip asks Pamela to go to the dance with Steve. At the dance, Chip and Steve agree that they have to find a polite way to get rid of the women. Chip completes his mission, but Steve does not. George N. Neise as Salesman.

    In 1973, three young activists in New York City recorded A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle by Asians in America. Singing of their direct lineage to immigrant workers as well as their affinity with freedom fighters everywhere, Chris Kando Iijima, Nobuko JoAnne Miyamoto, and William “Charlie” Chin recorded the experiences of the first generation to identify with the term and concept Asian American—a pan-ethnic association formulated upon a shared history of discrimination. They sought a connection to their cultural heritage; to claim their historical presence in the United States; to resist their marginalization; and to mobilize solidarity across class, ethnic, racial, and national differences. Music provided a powerful means for expressing their aspiration to reshape a society reeling from a prolonged war, ongoing struggles against racial inequity, and revelations of the Watergate cover-up. As writer and activist Phil Tajitsu Nash would state many decades later, A Grain of Sand was “more than just grooves on a piece of vinyl,” it was “the soundtrack for the political and personal awareness taking place in their lives.” Equal parts political manifesto, collaborative art project, and organizing tool, it is widely recognized as the first album of Asian American music.

    A Grain of Sand was produced by Paredon Records. Over the course of 15 years, Paredon founders Irwin Silber and Barbara Dane amassed a catalog of 50 titles reflecting their commitment to the music of peace and social justice movements. In 1991, to ensure its ongoing accessibility, Silber and Dane donated the Paredon catalog to the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, through which these recordings and their original liner notes remain available to the public.

    THE MUSIC
    While the message of the album was by no means mainstream, the music through which Chris, Nobuko, and Charlie expressed their political and social
