Rachael Kilgour – “He’ll Save Me”
[This post originally contained an embedded video that has been removed from YouTube.]
Take Me Out to the Ball Game
“Take Me Out To The Ball Game” was written by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer in 1908. These images were shot the same year to help sell the song to the public.
The singer in the video is Edward Meeker, one of Thomas Edison’s technicians. This is how they sold music (sheet music, specifically) back in the day — kind of an early form of music video. These were called illustrated songs. An “illustrator” would stand on stage and sing the song while glass slide images portraying the song’s storyline were projected on a screen. Anywhere from 12 to 16 slides were produced for a song. The last slide was usually the chorus text so audience members could sing along. In this version, I’ve enhanced the chorus with slides from other baseball songs. Illustrated songs were often part of vaudeville and early movie theater programs. Notice the giant wad of Cracker Jacks Katie Casey is enjoying. That’s how it was sold back then.
“Heaven Nowadays”: Review of the Duluth Playhouse Production of Chicago
The gin may not be cold (or available), but the dancing is certainly hot in the Duluth Playhouse’s production of Chicago. Set in a Prohibition-era Windy City, Chicago is inhabited by irredeemable (yet likable) hucksters and hustlers, all dancing for their lives. The bondage-lite costumes and the spare, gritty set only rarely hint at the Jazz Age, but that’s just as well: the story at the heart of Chicago, about crime, corruption, sensational journalism, the cult of celebrity and all that jazz, feels contemporary and relatable.

Duluth’s Music Scene
Have you ever wondered why there are so many bands and musicians in Duluth? What is it that makes bands like Trampled by Turtles, Low, and Charlie Parr call Duluth home? Visit LakeVoice News and See it, Hear it, and Read it first.
We just added a new “Music” tab that we will keep adding to every week to talk more about the Duluth music scene and it all leads up to the grand event of the Homegrown Music Festival. Over the course of the next few weeks we will continue to post more stories, pictures, and videos about local bands and musicians.

More Tweedy for Less Bucks
Problem: Too Many Tweedy’s
I have too many Jeff Tweedy tickets than required. The show is tomorrow (Tuesday, March 29), 7:30pm in Rochester, Minn.
Solution: I am offering the tickets at nearly half off … say, $25 each … for the best music related haiku (as judged by Paul Lundgren).
Haiku entries accepted until noon on Tuesday, March 29.
In Need of Rakes (again)
It’s that time of year where I’m in need of your retired steel-tined leaf rake. It cannot be plastic or bamboo- it must be steel. I chop the tines off for thumb piano keys and I need a whole lot of them for a music program/workshop I’m doing later in the spring. If your rake is missing all but one of it’s tines, I’ll still take it. You can contact me through yelling loudly or the internet thingy.
