The summer brings music to the area
Examiner.com
If it is anything like last year’s version there will also be a second stage that will highlight some of the local areas up and coming hard rock and metal bands. I have to admit I am a hard rock and metal fan along with many other types of music. Last years Lazerfest 2. 0 which as I mentioned was headlined by Stone Temple Pilots was one of the best shows I have seen. I could go on and on about STP but that’s not the point of this article. Personally I’m a little disappointed in this year’s lineup.

Labor folklorist Archie Green 91 dies
San Jose Mercury News
Green who was 91 when he died of renal and heart failure March 22 at his San Francisco home was a pioneering folklorist who studied the language music art and customs of working men and women. It was a unique pursuit that required a name which he coined: He called it “laborlore. ” In his hands laborlore meant scholarly explorations of mountaineer music the etymology of the shipyard term “Dutchman” and the origins of the metal figures tinsmiths fashioned for their shop signs. He so strongly believed that these were important cultural expressions — as worthy of preservation as a symphony by Hector Berlioz or a landscape by Winslow Homer — that he spent seven years lobbying Congress to create the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Established in 1976 it houses more than 4000 collections documenting the lives of ordinary Americans. “Archie said ‘Working men aren’t dummies. ‘ I heard him say that many times” recalled Robert Cantwell a University of North Carolina folklorist who knew Green for 40 years.
