Wanted: Cool cats for Milford music gig
MetroWest Daily News – Apr 27, 2008
Thomas and a trio of musicians fill the blues bar with upbeat jazz tunes appeasing the regular patrons at Fat Boy Bill’s Bar & Grill. As part of Thomas’ effort to "create a little scene" the professional musician has teamed up with Fat Boy’s to host jam sessions each Wednesday night. "I was noticing a lot of venues but nobody was really doing anything" said Thomas who runs the jazz ensemble at Franklin High School. "There are a lot of musicians in the (Interstate) 495 belt but it’s too far to go to Boston or Providence. "Thomas who moved to Milford seven months ago said he started the jam sessions to revive the music scene in the area… "Thomas’ idea appealed to Fat Boy’s owner Billy Laquidara who opened the bar at 31 Central St. almost two years ago. "I’d like to keep live music open as much as possible in this town" said Laquidara. "Milford is saturated with too many chains" he added. "(Residents) need to support the local flavor. "Jam sessions serve as a forum for both aspiring and professional musicians to gather and play. "Whoever you are you can come and play with the band" Laquidara said.
An Explorer of a New Frontier in World Music

It mattered little that the lyrics were a blur or that Sidibe’s donso music aims to incite hunters to kill. Carneal was hooked. He had played drums for indie bands most notably Palace Music. To his ears this was dance music only dance music whose roots can be traced back centuries and is thumbed on a donso ngoni — a large spike harp made of calabash gourd bamboo and fishing wire. He had in mind a number of songs for the CD that would become “Yoro Sidibe. ” These were daunting songs — 15-to-25-minute epic tales containing verse after rumbling verse without a single chorus. They might be hard sells for an American audience but that’s the point… They capture the real way people hear music" he explains. "His own recordings sound exactly the way things sound over there. "Carneal paired "Bougouni Yaalali" with releases of a 42-minute story song by the griot Daouda Dembele and Pekos and Yoro Diallo’s clanging sparse blues — essentially dubs of dubs from one boombox to another. If Carneal has one regret it’s that he dubbed without keeping records without receiving consent. He says all of the profits from the CDs remain in a.
20 years after The Jayhawks Mark Olson going it alone
Providence Journal – Apr 27, 2008
When you get older your life fills up with stuff — responsibilities. But once that went a different way for me and I ended up over there I had the time again to write. ”That’s how The Salvation Blues was born. He wrote the first two songs on the record “My Carol” and “Clifton Bridge” in Cardiff. He continued on to places such as Oslo Norway Krakow Poland and Minneapolis and made several stopovers at his aunt’s house in Colorado writing songs and recording demos along the way for later use. (One of those demos the emotionally fraught “One Book Philosophy” appears on the record in its Oslo demo form with Olson singing and playing organ on his own… The Jayhawks started 20 years ago so that’s a long time to wait for a first solo record. But Olson says there wasn’t any psychological drama behind his decision to work alone — it was more of a career-oriented move: His bands were better-known than he was and if he was going to be the name on the marquee he needed to be the name on the CD cover. “If I was going to continue playing music I was going to have to be able to tour under my own name so I had to make the record with my name on it. Because I put a lot of time and energy into the Jayhawks and The Creekdippers and I came out of it without really [a lot]. ”He had done a little bit of European solo touring “but nothing that was going to see me through the next year. It was more of a survival thing. I had to try to make a record on my own.

Even then I didn’t choose to hear it. Every morning an unseen factory official would drop a needle on a single record and blast it over the loudspeakers all day long; more days than not it was… The Grand Ole Opry long ago outgrew its home at Ryman Auditorium and has a state-of-the-art performance space on the outskirts of town next to an upscale shopping mall. The Opry’s old home downtown is now used more often for rock jazz and soul than for country music. Upcoming performances include the British rock band the Moody Blues comedian. In fact you could easily keep yourself busy for a week in Nashville while avoiding country music altogether as long as you didn’t walk down Broadway after dark. But you wouldn’t want to miss that experience even if you’re not a fan — the strip of honky-tonks is lively and fun.
