In our conversation with Bret Lunsford, we talk about his years with Beat Happening and D+ (his band with Karl Blau and Phil Elverum), his record label/publishing company Know-Yr-Own, and the story behind his recent book. Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, was discharged from the hospital Saturday night, five days after suffering a stroke. Peter Stampfel ( The Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs) He made thousands of recordings on cassette recorders, reel to reel, wire recorders way back during World War II, and studio recordings like the Fugs’ first record in 1965 he even used a telephone answering machine. The father of the Duchess of Sussex will now be unable to make it over to the UK for the Queen. The anthology paved the way for the music that was introduced to the world through the Coen Brothers film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Besides the Anthology, Smith, among other things, made strange films, collected Ukranian Easter Eggs, paper airplanes, and string games like “cat’s cradle” by the thousands. Thomas Markle had planned to issue his daughter Meghan Markle with an ultimatum during his UK trip. Coincidentally, I first heard the Anthology in October of 1956. It made me realize that the world was way more strange and complicated than I had previously thought. Harry’s intention was for the Anthology to change the world… and it actually did! For starters, besides changing Bob Dylan’s life, it changed mine, and there were thousands and thousands of others. And Uncle Dave Macon, and the Carter Family, and Mississippi John Hurt, and Cajun music and a lot more.

The Anthology was where I first heard Charlie Patton, who taught Howlin’ Wolf and Robert Johnson how to play.
The Anthology has been called the roots of the roots of rock and roll. The Smith Anthology was released in 1953, coincidentally the first year that there were no lynchings in the United States, and the year that MAD comics were introduced, and about when Rock and Roll was born. Basically, folk music dating from what was then called Hillbilly Records (white) and Race Records (black). The “Smith Anthology” is a 6-LP compilation of 78RPM tracks cut between 19. To give a little background on who Harry Smith was, The Holy Modal Rounders’ co-founder, living legend and returning Low Profile guest, Peter Stampfel weighs in on Harry Smith and his Anthology of American Folk Music:īob Dylan said, “If not for the Smith Anthology, there wouldn’t be a Bob Dylan.” The “Smith” is Harry Smith. Calvin Johnson (Beat Happening, K Records founder) And of course, he was one of the instigators of the What The Heck Festival in Anacortes, where I have performed a few times over the years.
Bret and I have played music over the years in Beat Happening, and his band D+ has also toured with my other combo Dub Narcotic Sound System across the United States of America. He’s actually an Anacortes, WA native and currently the director of the Anacortes history museum, which is very appropriate because he’s always been a cultural historian… the flora, the fauna, the native populations and the underground weirdo culture. Calvin Johnson interjects during the intro to say a few words about his pal and former Beat Happening band mate Bret, who recently wrote a book called Sounding for Harry Smith: Early Pacific Northwest Influences:īret Lunsford is a pal of mine. Earlier this year we went with cameraman and engineer Andrew Ebright to Anacortes, Washington to meet up with the local historian and musician Bret Lunsford in a cavernous repurposed train depot. A short while later two men named James Markly and Robert Porter were arrested near Albury on suspicion of the murder. Larsen, meanwhile, has also claimed that he is co-writing a memoir with Timothy Reinhardt called, "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover My Story with Thomas Markle.Today I’m joined once again by my co-host Madison Nadine, who you might remember from the Martin Rev interview from October ‘21. Thomas' son, Thomas Markle Jr has also informed the outlet that he was unhappy with Larsen for speaking on his father's behalf.Ī stroke hospitalised Thomas in May, meaning he missed the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which he had planned to attend. Larsen said the YouTube channel had been created with the intention of showing people the real Thomas.īut Meghan's father has since told Insider that his relationship with Larsen has now been severed and their last YouTube video was uploaded on May 21. In early April, he used the platform to criticise Harry for not attending Prince Philip's memorial service and, in March, he claimed that most people would hate the couple if it wasn't for their PR team.
