Five Things I Saw & Heard This Week
Transcripts from the everyday world of music by Martin Colyer
Five Things: Wednesday 15th May
May 15, 2013 by martin colyer 1 Comment
Bowie Walk
Having helped the V&A with a photo of Dobell's, they're kind enough to send me this Jonathan Barnbrook-designed pamphlet, David Bowie Is Walking In Soho. The tour starts here.
Riders Of The Stars
FRANK SINATRA: One bottle each: Absolute, Jack Daniel's, Chivas Regal, Courvoisier, Beefeater Gin, white wine, red wine. Twenty-four chilled jumbo shrimp, Life Savers, cough drops. No mixers?
BRITNEY SPEARS: Fish and chips, McDonald's cheeseburgers without the buns, 100 prunes and figs, a framed photo of Princess Diana. Britney, as always, touched by genius!
AL GREEN: Twenty-four long-stem (dethorned) red roses. Having seen Rev. Green present these in the flesh to his adoring audience, I'm touched by the thoughtfulness.
Cat Power, Bathrooms & Bullies
On Woman's Hour I catch Chan Marshall talking about the best places she found to sing as a teenager and she talks of school bathrooms when no-one was in them, singing to the walls and the echo – and when she's on Later that night you can see how her voice now has those reflections and deflections built into it. With a haircut borrowed from Nick Lowe and her hands jerking in and out of her jean shirt, her performance of "Bully" was twitchy and vulnerable, but beautifully her – she doesn't sound much like anybody else (the same is true of Laura Mvula, also on the show, who – making a nod to Nina Simone – is refreshingly different from her peer group).
Found on the website bestofneworleans.com while googling "who wrote Walkin' to New Orleans."
Well Composed: Bobby Charles tells how he wrote three of his classic songs.
Walking to New Orleans
"I had sent Fats a copy of 'Before I Grow Too Old,' and he had recorded it, but I didn't know. The next night he was playing in Lafayette, and I went to see him play. He told me, 'I cut your song last night – I wish I'd brought a copy of it for you to listen to.' And he said, 'You gotta come to New Orleans to see me and hang out with me.' I said, 'I'd love to, but right now I'm really on my butt and got no money and no way to get over there.' He said, 'Take a bus or something.' I told him, 'The only way I'd be able to get there would be to walk to New Orleans.' As soon as I said that, I said, 'I gotta go.' I jumped in the car and wrote the song on the way back home from Lafayette to Abbeville."
"I used to say to the band or friends, 'See you later, alligator.' One night after a dance, I was walking out the door, and my piano player was sitting down in a back booth, and there were two drunk couples in the booths in front of him. I said, 'See you later alligator' to him as I was walking out, and it was one of those doors that closed real slow. I heard a girl say something about 'crocodile.' I walked back in and said, 'I don't mean to bother you, but I just told him, "See you later, alligator." What did you say?' She said, 'After a while, crocodile.' I said, 'Thank you,' and went home and wrote the song in 20 minutes. My daddy was screaming at me to turn out the lights, because he had to get up and go to work at 5 o'clock in the morning. I said, 'Give me five more minutes.' I had to sing it to myself over and over so I wouldn't forget it."
The Jealous Kind
"I was married at the time, and I was in the bathtub. My wife was fussing and hollering at me while I was taking a bath. I said, 'Why don't you bring me paper and a pencil and just leave me alone for 30 minutes.' She said, 'You and your damn paper and pencil.' I wrote it right there in the bathtub. Same thing with 'Before I Grow Too Old.' She said, 'You gonna be like this for the rest of your life?' I said, 'I'm gonna try and hurry up and do as much as I can before I get too old.' Bam! Bring me a paper and pencil!"
I'm appalled that I'd never known that Bobby Charles wrote one of my all-time favourite songs.
And more from The Big Easy…
…in the shape of another Hugh Laurie documentary. He's dry and funny, and has great taste in producers and musicians, and plays pretty good piano. I just never want to hear him sing again, if that can be arranged. Best bit: the amazing Jon Cleary, an Englishman in New Orleans, doing a staggering take on James Booker and Professor Longhair. He rips through a sonic wonderworld of rhumba rhythms and tumbling blues, then turns to Laurie and says, "New Orleans comes into fashion, goes out of fashion. They don't stop playing here just because no-one's looking."
Professor Longhair's House, 2010
Longhair had my favourite band name ever: Professor Longhair and The Shuffling Hungarians [called that, as Wikepedia says, for reasons lost to time. As far as I can ascertain, there were no Hungarians in the band]. I do remember going with Mark to see James Booker at the 100 Club. As we came down the stairs to the basement room we heard the sound of a New Orleans band pounding out "Junco Partner", the bass shaking the walls, what sounded like a horn section high-stepping the accents. We stepped through the door to find Booker alone at the piano, committing his mischief, conjuring up an orchestra's worth of accompaniment with just two hands…

I'm Goin Home
Small Town Talk (single version)
"Towards the break of day…
…on June 6, 2019, iconic music legend Malcolm John Rebennack, Jr., passed away of a heart attack." Here's "I'm Goin' Home", from N'Awlinz, Dis, Dat or D'Udda, and Bobby Charles' "Small Town Talk", with Mac's organ and bass pedals foregrounded. Lovely tributes from Richard Williams and Barney Hoskyns can be found here and here.

Palais de Tokyo
13, avenue du Président Wilson, Paris, France
Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts
Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris
Paris Museum of Modern Art
Quai Branly Museum
The Palais de Tokyo is a building dedicated to modern and contemporary art, located at 13 avenue du Président-Wilson, near the Trocadéro, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The eastern wing of the building belongs the City of Paris and hosts the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris). The western wing belongs to the French state and hosts since 2002, the Palais de Tokyo / Site de création contemporaine.
The building is separated from the Seine river by the avenue de New-York, which was formerly named Quai Debilly and later Avenue de Tokio (from 1918 to 1945). The name Palais de Tokyo derives from the name of this street.
The Palais de Tokyo was inaugurated by president Lebrun on May 24, 1937, at the time of the International Exhibition of Arts and Technology of 1937. The original name of the building was Palais des Musées d'art moderne ("Palace of the Museums of modern art"). The building has since then hosted a number of establishments, projects, and creative spaces. Among them; le musée d'art et d'essai (1977-1986), FEMIS, le Centre National de la Photographie, and in 1986 the Palais de Cinema. The current museum's exhibit space opened to the public in January 2002.

Omani student killed in London stabbing incident
An Omani student died after he was stabbed by muggers for his Rolex watch in London in the early hours of Friday. Mohammed bin Abdullah al Araimi, 26, collapsed under a Christmas tree near Harrods, as London's knife crimes saw three deaths in just 12 hours.
Araimi was stabbed when he and a friend made their way home from a nearby restaurant.
According to the British media reports, Araimi and his friend were seen frantically running near the world famous luxury department store in Knightsbridge, west London, leaving a trail of blood. He was found unconscious with a stab wound on the back just after midnight, and pronounced dead on Brompton Road 40 minutes later.
Araimi's friend is being treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. In a statement on its Twitter account in Arabic, the Omani Embassy in London said, 'There was an unfortunate attack that claimed the life of the Omani student Mohammed bin Abdullah al Araimi. The embassy is closely following the circumstances of the incident with the competent British authorities. We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.'
The incident came in the middle of a 12-hour period of bloodshed in the capital. In another incident, a young man, who detectives believe is 20 year old Crosslom Davis, was pronounced dead just after 3.30am on Friday in Deptford, south east London. Exauce Ngimbi, 22, was killed in Hackney, east London, at around 2.30pm on Thursday following an altercation. A 14 year old boy is among four persons arrested over the murder.

Pride Month: Ensuring a Future of Hope and Togetherness
If we want a tomorrow filled with hope and togetherness, we need to ensure that today is not filled with hate. By combating hate against the LGBTQ community, we're ensuring that our future is more inclusive, safer, and greater.
Today, much of the hate speech takes place on the internet including on social media platforms, chat apps, comments sections of websites, and on gaming platforms. Hate speech too often culminates in physical violence so tackling the scourge of hate on-line is often ripping it out at its roots. And that's exactly what we do.
L1ght's learning algorithms analyze and recognize all forms of hate speech, whether through text, video, or sound. We don't just say we're against hate speech and its consequences – we "walk the walk".
L1ght's technology is built to combat online hate speech. Our mission is to protect diversity, prevent bullying, and ensure the internet is a tolerant ecosystem for people of every gender, color, religion, and opinion.
As Askhari Johnson Hodari writes, "If everyone helps to hold up the sky, then one person does not become tired." L1ght is proud of its partners and allies in the fight against online toxicity. From governments and NGOs to social media channels, gaming platforms, hosting providers, and parents, this is a battle that can only be won when we work together.
At L1ght, we have so much to be proud of. There is still a long road that must be traveled, but there's no doubt that we're heading in the right direction – and we look forward to celebrating many more proud moments and pride months together in the years ahead.
Happy Pride.

A Classroom Anecdote
Nine-year-old Kara had a history of difficulty in mathematics class, to the point that her teacher felt compelled at the start of a robotics workshop to warn the facilitator that "Kara has no number sense." That caution was voiced when students were asked to program their robots to move forward a set distance, and the truth of the warning was evident almost immediately. Tasked with moving the robot only a few meters, Kara's opening guess was 1000 robot-wheel rotations.
Suspecting the issue might be rooted in a history of engaging with numbers on a mainly symbolic level, the facilitator invited Kara to the hallway and asked her to walk a set distance (about10 meters). Kara was then asked to estimate the number of wheel rotations it might take to move the robot that distance. She guessed 10, entered the value on her iPad control, and watched as the robot moved about 2 meters. The facilitator invited a second estimate, and Kara guessed 20 rotations. For the third attempt, she guessed 30. And then something happened. In a flash of realization, and to her teacher's amazement, Kara appeared to utilize the underlying proportional relationships of the values she had entered. With a beaming smile, on her fourth attempt she keyed in 50, and watched in confident anticipation as the robot moved the desired distance.
What to Learn from this Anecdote
Playing with robots and number distance was an opportunity for Kara to show what she knew, as opposed what she didn't know. The possibilities for Kara's learning of mathematics increased dramatically in this moment. The teacher's new awareness of Kara's strong spatial sense of number prompted a re-examination of resources and practices to design learning that occasions more deliberate spatial opportunities for Kara's growth in understanding of number. Kara' initial experience prompted a multi-year investigation in classrooms to reconceptualized the teaching of mathematics with robots and STEM.
STEM is Dynamic and Evolving
Our definition of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education is dynamic and evolving to keep science and mathematics on children's horizon of possibilities. Within two years of evidence-based STEM teaching, Kara's story changed from not being good at math to "Kara has always been good at math." We would like every child's story to be the same.
A Curated Selection of STEM Resources
In this site you will find a curated selection of resources, research, and robotics tasks that were collaboratively designed-tested-revised in classrooms with the help of teachers, mathematics education researchers, engineers, and mathematicians. We would love to hear about your experiences trying these tasks in your classroom.
We would like to express our utmost gratitude to the teachers and students at Calgary Academy, Calgary Jewish Academy, Calgary Girls School, Connect Charter, Evergreen Elementary in Drayton Valley, and Pakan School at Whitefish.

Douglas "Doug" Wesley Ashdown (born 29 July 1942) is an Australian singer-songwriter who had a minor hit with "Winter in America", also known as "Leave Love Enough Alone", which reached No. 13 on the Dutch Singles Chart in 1978. In 1988 the song was covered by Dutch singer René Froger, and in 1994 by Australian group The Robertson Brothers.  Ashdown reached No. 46 on the Australian Kent Music Report with "The Saddest Song of All" released in August 1970. In 1977, his album Trees won the TV Week (an Australian television entertainment magazine) King of Pop Award for 'Best Album Cover'.

Biography
Douglas Wesley Ashdown was born in 1942 in Adelaide, South Australia and at the age of 17 he travelled to England to play in a rock band. In 1961 he was back in Adelaide and played guitar alongside Bobby Bright as vocalist in The Bowmen. By 1965, as a solo singer-songwriter, he released his first album, This Is Doug Ashdown. His 1960s popular singles were "Something Strange" in 1968, and in 1969, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On" (cover of the Jerry Lee Lewis' hit).

In 1970, he signed with the independent label, Sweet Peach, and issued "The Saddest Song of All" in August which peaked at number 46 on the Kent Music Report. The song was written by Ashdown and Jim Stewart, who became his long-term producer and co-writer. The associated album, The Age of Mouse, was the first double LP album of original material released by an Australian. Ashdown and Stewart relocated to the United States, living in Nashville. While in Nashville, the pair co-wrote "Just Thank Me", for David Rogers, who released it in 1973—it peaked at No. 17 on the US Country Music Singles Chart. They also co-wrote "Leave Love Enough Alone" which Ashdown released in 1974 upon relocation to Sydney. He had a minor hit with it when it was renamed as "Winter in America" and released in 1976. It peaked at No.  3 in Brisbane, No. 14 in Melbourne and No. 30 in Sydney.

In 1977, his album, Trees won the TV Week, an Australian television entertainment magazine, King of Pop Award for 'Best Album Cover'. Ashdown also worked with science fiction writer/songwriter Terry Dowling on recordings of Dowling's song-cycle "Amberjack", about a stranded time traveller. Ashdown contributed lead vocals and guitar to six of the tracks of Dowling's song-cycle which were broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1977.

He continued to release singles and albums and had minor chart success into the 1980s.

Тамбовская казначейша — памятник литературному герою поэмы М.Ю Лермонтова «Тамбовская казначейша». Памятник установлен в 2016 году по инициативе администрации Тамбовской области к юбилею города Тамбов. Автор скульптуры — скульптор А. А. Миронов.

История
 Памятник установлен в память об одноименном произведении М. Ю. Лермонтова. По легенде, проездом в имение бабушки в Тарханы, Лермонтов заезжал в гости к однокашникам братьям Фёдору и Юрию Протасьевым в Тамбов. Братья в те времена управляли игровым карточным домом, в котором великосветское тамбовское общество иногда проигрывало состояния. Этот факт, по мнению историков-краеведов, натолкнул поэта на создание произведения «Тамбовская казначейша».В поэме скрыт пикантный драматический сюжет, по которому: первую красавицу Тамбова Авдотью Николаевну выдают замуж за лысого, жадного старика казначея, вскоре в Тамбов приезжает полк улан, ротмистр влюбляется в казначейшу. Казначей проигрывает уланам состояние и жену. Уланы уезжают Казначейша, остаётся одна. Конец поэмы читатель должен додумать сам.Произведение напечатали в 1838 году в журнале «Современник». Жуковский, пытаясь приблизить поэму к цензурным требованиям, вычеркнул названия и изменил строфы. Заменив город Тамбов просто буквой Т… Лермонтов возмутился подобной редактуре и порвал копию первого издания в гневе. Впоследствии черновик оригинала утратили, и осталась только редакторская версия Жуковского.

После выхода поэмы читатели разделились на два лагеря: первые считали поэму шедевром и оценили содержание по достоинству, вторые — безвкусной.

Спорность
Памятник как поэма вызвал огромное количество споров и обсуждений. Люди ошибочно думали, что портрет живописца В. А. Тропинина «Женщина в окне» — это Тамбовская казначейша, но это не так. Бывший современником Лермонтова Тропинин, нигде не упоминал о том, что портрет написан по мотивам поэмы «Тамбовская казначейша». А также и современники портретиста не вспоминали этого факта.

Горожане представляли себе «Казначейшу» хрупкой девушкой, как на картине Тропинина, но скульптор представил иной вариант — пышногрудую красавицу с глубоким декольте.

Изначально тамбовчане не приняли памятник. Например, группа активистов-староверов «Спасем студенец» прикрыли грудь Авдотье Николавне шалью, опасаясь развращения молодежи открытым бюстом. Со временем горожане полюбили Авдотью Николаевну и даже гордятся ей. Горожане верят, если потереть каблучок или грудь скульптуры — к деньгам.

Writer sets new novel in Ormskirk and surrounding villages
A WRITER has set his new novel called The Return of the Black Magician in Ormskirk and surrounding villages.
Richard Raftery has described the work as, "a peculiar tale of a severely dystopian community – a curious mix of humour, politics and the macabre, and therefore highly apposite for the turbulent times in which we live."
In the book a merciless and malevolent megalomaniac sets about establishing a self-governing quasi-medieval state in Ormskirk.
Inevitably, the consequences are dire. However, a team of inconsistent and frequently inept insurgents who plan his overthrow.
The West Lancashire area is "surreal and distorted" in the book.
Richard said: "The book is set in an area in which I grew up and therefore easier for me to write about as it is a familiar setting.
"You will search in vain for some of the buildings mentioned although the Stanley Arms, one of the more significant buildings in the book, is very much a thriving pub in Aughton – at least prior to lockdown.
"The story is set in an unspecified age but certainly one prior to the advent of mobile phones, computers and other modern methods of communication and surveillance. Probably the late 1970s is a reasonable approximation (with an unhealthy dollop of the 1670s for good measure). However, the themes explored would seem to be disturbingly perennial."


Read one more chapter, pleeeaassee!
I am currently reading The Monster's Ring by Bruce Coville aloud to my grade 3 class. They love the book and I love hearing them moan and groan when I stop reading for the day. The story focuses on young Russell and the school bully he is eager to scare with the help of a magic ring that comes with instructions. With a twist of the ring, Russell begins to change into a Monster. If the ring is turned two or three times, more changes occur. This suspenseful plot leads the students to predict what Russell will look like after the ring is turned three times!
Using Build Your Wild Self, an online tool that allows students to create a wild image using animal parts, the students were able to capture their ideas of Russell when he turned the ring three times and share them with the class.
This is a great tool that I could see integrated with other books such as Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and the Goosebumps books by R. L. Stine.
Below is a picture from our classroom display as well as some samples from student created Russells using Build Your Wild Self.
Have a go and build your own wild self!
