Travis Edmonson of Bud & Travis Dies at 76

Travis Edmonson dies at 76; half of folk duo Bud & Travis

Travis Edmonson, a singer-songwriter who as part of the duo Bud & Travis influenced other folk musicians and helped expand the audience for Spanish-language songs, has died. He was 76.

Edmonson, who had Parkinson's disease and other illnesses, died Saturday at a hospital in Mesa, Ariz., said Mike Bartlett, a family spokesman.

Between 1958 and 1965, Edmonson and Bud Dashiell made an "impressive" contribution to the folk music revival through about 10 albums that showcased their "trademark harmonies and electrifying guitar work," according to the All Music Internet database.

They played the Hollywood Bowl in 1963 with Peter, Paul & Mary, the legendary folk group that toured with the duo and recorded the Edmonson composition "If I Were Free."

Bud & Travis "helped to launch the folk renaissance with some of the most beautiful music we ever heard," Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul & Mary told The Times in an e-mail."Travis had a mellifluous voice" and the two groups "learned much from each other," Yarrow said.

Folk music historian Mary Katherine Aldin called Bud & Travis "virtuosos" who influenced the folk scene with their early arrival, expansive repertoire and embrace of Spanish-language folk songs. They recorded “La Bamba” and "Malaguena Salerosa," which reportedly sold a million copies in the 1950s.

"For many white folk audiences at the time, it was the only time they heard people sing in Spanish," said Aldin, a Los Angeles-area producer who reissues roots music.

The pair met when Edmonson's older brother brought his Army buddy, Dashiell, home in the late 1940s. They became a team known for their witty repartee after Edmonson, a tenor, left the Gateway singers, a folk group.

Abigail Washburn's Project to Benefit Earthquake Victims

From her newsletter of May 9, 2009:

Hello All! Yesterday I was featured on NPR’s All Things Considered with Melissa Block alongside my Afterquake co-producer Dave Liang of the Shanghai Restoration Project.

Dave and I have been working around the clock to bring you a multi-media website with loads of information about Afterquake and the students and families that participated in the project. You will see amazing photos from Amanda Kowalski and a 'making of' video by Luke Mines as well as comprehensive translations of interviews, lyrics and more. Please check it out and pass along the link to those you think will be interested.

As a result of the interview on NPR, today we have charted at #1 for a moment on Amazon and now are shooting for the same on i-tunes. Charting will help us get more press so I am writing to encourage you to go to our website, amazon or i-tunes to purchase physical copies or downloads of the 7 song EP. A significant portion of profits will go back to Sichuan Quake Relief (SQR), a wonderful organization taking care of the most pressing needs in the earthquake disaster zone. SQR was also our partner in field production on the ground in Sichuan this March.

My 200th post: a NYTimes appreciation of Pete Seeger

Still Singing
By LAWRENCE DOWNES, May 4, 2009

I saw Pete Seeger Sunday night, alive as you and me. They threw a birthday concert for him at Madison Square Garden. John Seeger, age 95, said from the stage that he expected his 90-year-old younger brother to make 100, which seems reasonable. Standing there, banjo off his shoulder, head thrown back, Pete looked eternal, in that pose so engraved in American memory it should be on a coin.

More than 40 artists, including John Mellencamp, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen, joined in a stage-clogging sing-along. When its four-plus hours are edited down to highlights, from “This Land Is Your Land” to “Goodnight, Irene,” it will be a PBS special made in pledge-week heaven.

I wonder, though, how many of the angry moments will survive.

Will we hear the Native American musicians pleading for support in their battle with Peabody Energy? Peabody is a giant strip-mining company that has been at the center of lawsuits by Southwestern tribes over drinking water and income from mineral rights.
Will we hear the praise for the Clean Water Act of 1972, or the acid remark from one of the Indians: “Ever since that man by the name of Hudson went up that river, it’s gone to hell.”

The evening was, after all, a benefit for Clearwater, the name of an organization and a boat, both built by Mr. Seeger, that have fought for decades to rescue the Hudson River from life as an industrial sewer. The job isn’t done. Remember PCBs? General Electric dumped tons of them in the river. The company is about ready to dredge them out, but for now they are still there, seeping downriver and into fish.

That’s one hot issue. But issues and leftist anger were mostly confined to the first half of the evening. Under a sweet, heavy nostalgia glaze, the show summoned but never lingered on bygone days when folk singing was considered both relevant and dangerous.

Mr. Seeger has walked the walk for so long that he has outwalked most everybody who would ever want to beat him up, throw bricks at him or denounce him as a Red.

He’s “outlasted the bastards,” Bruce Springsteen said. But others will outlast him, and it will be up to a new generation to write and sing songs to fight power with truth. Will they? Or will they close their eyes and sway to “Michael, Row the Boat Ashore,” forgetting the part of folk singing that was never sweet for its own sake?

“Behind Pete’s somewhat benign, grandfatherly facade,” Mr. Springsteen said, lies a “nasty optimism,” a great way to describe the steel-willed Seeger method, the geniality that others mistake for softness.

Mr. Seeger is “a stealth dagger through the heart of our country’s illusions about itself,” Mr. Springsteen said, getting it exactly right.

NYTimes Review of Seeger Birthday Concert

Pete Seeger Celebrates 90th With a Concert
New York Times May 5, 2009, Music Review

By JON CARAMANICA

The celebrator who made the most noise and aroused the strongest sentiment during Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday party at Madison Square Garden Sunday night was the one who couldn’t make it.

No, President Obama was not there, but his presence loomed large over this gathering of progressives. In an updated version of the 1930s labor anthem “Which Side Are You On?” Ani DiFranco sang, “Now there’s folks in Washington that care what’s on our minds.” Bruce Springsteen told of rehearsing for the recent presidential inauguration with Mr. Seeger, who had relayed the story of “We Shall Overcome,” crucial to both the labor and civil rights movements. Watching the transfer of power, Mr. Springsteen said, “was like, ‘Pete, you outlasted the bastards, man.’ It was so nice.”

The new president did send a letter, though, praising Mr. Seeger for voicing “the hopes and dreams of everyday people.” And, as was evident throughout this four-hour-plus event — a birthday party masquerading as a fund-raiser for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a preservation charity founded by Mr. Seeger — many have tried to follow in that path, or at least capture some of his refracted glow. More than 40 performers gathered to pay tribute to Mr. Seeger — one of the lions of American folk music and still indefatigable — who, save for a handful of exceptions, outworked them all.

A report about the Seeger birthday concert

This from John Platt of WFUV radio at Fordham University:

Last night's 90th birthday tribute concert to Pete Seeger at MSG was everybit as stirring as I'd hoped. We took the train in (for Pete's sake!) andbefore we got to our seats had already run into a bunch of FUV friends andfans (no surprise there). The audience was about 95% white, but all ages.The early 5 pm start may have been to accommodate Pete's bedtime, but alsothe fact that it was a school night. Kudos to the parents who thought toshare such a historic night with their kids. I doubt anyone will forget the4 hours + of music!

The concert opened with Pete on recorder on a dark stage that became framedwith little white lights in the shape of a sail - a fitting reminder thatthe evening was a benefit for the Hudson River sloop Clearwater. (Pete, whohates having a fuss made over him, wouldn't have agreed to the concertotherwise.) For all the classic songs Pete has written, surprisingly few gotperformed. John Mellencamp opened with "If I Had a Hammer," Joan Baez did"Where Have All the Flowers Gone," Taj Mahal did "Waist Deep in the BigMuddy" and Roger McGuinn gave us "Turn Turn Turn." Not many others.

Like Springsteen's "Seeger Sessions" CD, there were mostly songs that Petehas been identified with over the years. Bruce Cockburn and Ani DiFrancorepresented the activist with "Which Side Are You On" and Dar Williams,Billy Bragg, and Mike and Ruthy Merenda the labor organizer with "UnionMaid." The first half closed with Guy Davis, Cockburn, Joan, Dar, Billy,Emmylou, Toshi Reagon, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Ani, and Tao Rodriguez Seegerjoining voices on "We Shall Overcome." I have to say I was overcome myself.I never sang it at Selma or the March on Washington, but singing it with18,000 people brought tears to my eyes, as we channeled the souls of allthose who did march and struggle for the rights we enjoy today.

Pete popped up here and there on banjo, but his main moment was thebeginning of the second half, when he led us all in "Amazing Grace.""There's no such thing as wrong harmony," he said, "as long as you'resinging it." Other second half highlights included Richie Havens getting astanding ovation for "Freedom," Arlo, Del McCoury, John Hall, and thePreservation Hall Jazz Band rocking out on "Mary Don't You Weep," Ben Harper(accompanied by his mother and sister!) doing "Gather Round This Stone," andDave Matthews doing a solo "Rye Whiskey."

For some reason, Eddie Vedder was a no-show (and I wondered why Peter Paul &Mary and Judy Collins weren't represented). Of course, the big ringleaderwas Bruce Springsteen, and he didn't disappoint. With his usual eloquence,he saluted Pete for having "the audacity and courage to sing in the voiceof the people. Despite his benign appearance," Bruce said, "he has astubborn, defiant, and nasty optimism. He is a stealth dagger through theheart of this country's illusions about itself. He looks like your granddadif your granddad could kick your ass!" Then, accompanied by Tom Morello ofRage Against the Machine, he invoked "The Ghost of Tom Joad."

How could the concert conclude if not with all hands on deck for "This LandIs Your Land"? I thought to myself, Pete's world is our world (the one wedream about - a healthy planet where there is no war and equality foreveryone), and these songs are our songs. That's what he wants his legacy tobe. How lucky we are to have had him during our lifetime. And how lucky Ifelt to be there last night. And her's the good news: it was recorded forbroadcast on PBS later this year, so we'll all be able to enjoy it.
