Reggae, Rock, Soul, R & B, Folk, Jazz are a few of the styles I love, but the blues is in everything, and you can't run away from the blues! <br />----Garland Jeffreys</p> <p>Written and directed by Wim Wenders</p> <p>Director Wim Wenders (Buena Vista Social Club; Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas ) explores the lives of his favorite blues artists — Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson, and J. B. Lenoir — in a film that is part history and part personal pilgrimage. The film tells the story of these artists' lives in music through a fictional film-within-a-film, rare archival footage, and covers of their songs by contemporary musicians, including Garland Jeffreys, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Lou Reed, Eagle Eye Cherry, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Cassandra Wilson, Los Lobos, and others. Says Wenders: "These songs meant the world to me. I felt there was more truth in them than in any book I had read about America, or in any movie I had ever seen. I've tried to describe, more like a poem than in a 'documentary,' what moved me so much in their songs and voices."</p> <p>Performances in The Soul of a Man <br />Garland Jeffreys <br />T-Bone Burnett <br />Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds <br />Eagle-Eye Cherry <br />Shemekia Copeland <br />The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion <br />Alvin Youngblood Hart <br />Skip James * <br />Chris Thomas King <br />J.B.

I was sitting in foul territory in left field. I got up to get a few franks and soda for the guys, walking and watching the game and going down the steps, all at the same time. I was probably blocking the view of people--and one guy says, "Hey, Buckwheat! Get the f--k out of here, Buckwheat!" I had never heard the word used before like that; I was shocked. I turned around and I was just frozen. I kept walking and I was on line and feeling really uncomfortable. I said, "Don't call me Buckwheat" to myself, and I went home and wrote the song. It just brought back my whole childhood, all the name calling. I grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn in a very mixed-race community: Jews, Irish, Blacks, Italians and Spanish, K--s, M--ks, N-----s, W--s and sp--s. You heard those words a lot. I would cringe when I heard the "n------" word and I still do. The whole usage of it today in rap disturbs me to no end. Kids don't know the real meaning and how it feels to hear it. It got to the point where you knew you'd hear it almost every day from someone.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46485-don-t-call-me-buckwheat-garland-jeffreys">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/40759-trippin-with-gejee 2008-10-08T02:39:32Z markshyers <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t1-7A-MJ4SE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t1-7A-MJ4SE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/40759-trippin-with-gejee"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/45969" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>No actual brain cells where harmed in the making of "Trippin With Gejee"</p> </div> <a href="/blog/40759-trippin-with-gejee">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/34201-on-this-night-sam-harris-christmas-cd-sampler-first-noel 2008-06-15T15:34:06Z SamHarris <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CL6F1o1_ngA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CL6F1o1_ngA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/34201-on-this-night-sam-harris-christmas-cd-sampler-first-noel"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/37316" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>► DOWNLOAD AT: <a href="http://SamTUNES.net">SamTUNES.net</a> </p> <p>► <a href="http://MySpace.com/SamHarrisMusic">MySpace.com</a> </p> <p>► Buy CD at <a href="http://SamHarris.com">SamHarris.com</a> </p> <p>► 5 Star Broadway World REVIEW: <br />"This guy is so talented and this Holiday recording, which I didn't even know existed .... is no exception.

It was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane [during an interview with Hugh Martin on NPR on 12/21/06, he said Ralph Blane encouraged him to continue to write the song, but really did not have anything more to do with writing it] and made famous by Judy Garland in the 1944 film "Meet Me in St. Louis". The movie chronicles the change in seasons and times of St. Louis including the Christmas season. In the famous scene, Garland sings the tearful tune to child star Margaret O'Brien. The melancholy tune and lyrics were originally even more somber but were adapted by the song writers to the current version at Garland's request.</p> <p>Most of the online references place "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" as being first performed in "Meet Me In St. Louis" in 1944. The original, however, was a much darker song, written about hopes for a better Christmas in the future:</p> <p>Christmas future is far away <br />Christmas past is past <br />Christmas present is here today <br />Bringing joy that may last</p> <p>Have yourself a merry little Christmas <br />May your heart be light <br />In a year our troubles will be out of sight <br />From now on</p> <p>Have yourself a merry little Christmas <br />Make the yuletide gay <br />In a year our troubles will be miles away</p> <p>Here we are as in olden days <br />Happy golden days of yore <br />Precious friends who are dear to us <br />Gather near to us once more</p> <p>I know that <br />In a year we all will be together <br />If the Fates allow <br />Until then, we'll just have to muddle through somehow <br />And have ourselves a merry little Christmas now.</p> <p>*** The song was changed for Judy Garland, who did not like the tone of the lyrics. These are the lyrics many sing:</p> <p>Have yourself a merry little Christmas. <br />Let your heart be light, <br />From now on our troubles <br />Will be out of sight.</p> <p>Have yourself a merry little Christmas, <br />Make the Yule-tide gay, <br />From now on our troubles <br />Will be miles away.</p> <p>Here we are as in olden days, <br />Happy golden days of yore, <br />Faithful friends who are dear to us <br />Gather near to us once more.</p> <p>Through the years <br />We all will be together <br />If the Fates allow, <br />Hang a shining star <br />On the highest bough, <br />And have yourself <br />A merry little Christmas now.</p> <p>► <a href="http://SamTUBE.com">SamTUBE.com</a> ...</p> <p>► <a href="http://SamHarris.TV">SamHarris.TV</a> <br />... archive of Sam's performances and appearances.</p> <p>► <a href="http://AskSamHarris.com">AskSamHarris.com</a> <br />... ask Sam anything, and he'll reply via a vlog.</p> <p>► <a href="http://SamHarris.com/answers">SamHarris.com</a> <br />... answer link from the "Ask Sam Harris" series.</p> <p>► <a href="http://MySpace.com/SamHarrisMusic">MySpace.com</a> <br />... keep up to date, and be Sam's MySpace friend!</p> <p>► <a href="http://SamHarris.com">SamHarris.com</a> <br />... information, biography, discography and buy cds.</p> <p>LEGAL & BUSINESS CONTACT: <br />http://SamHarris.com/contact.htm <br />© All videos property of Sam Harris</p> <p>--</p> </div> <a href="/blog/34147-have-yourself-a-merry-little-christmas-sung-by-sam-harris">Watch the video</a>
