...Harvard Cabaret took time out of its regular scheduling of dramatic performances last weekend to present Granfalloon in concert at Currier House. The group smoothly opened the show with Chicago, one of their better efforts, marked by changing rhythms and the country comfort tone of Chris Hunt's mandolin. As in this case, most of the Falloon's material is original. Only three of the eighteen songs performed during the two sets were borrowed from other professional artists. Their musical range can produce the lyrical intensity of a dramatic poetry reading or the funky folk sound of a group like...
...examples of the Iberian monumentality and primitivism Picasso assimilated into the savage proto-Cubism of his brothel scene, illustrates the creative process which brought him to his more mature forms of analytic art. The studiedly severe colors of his "Reservoir Horta" (1909) and "Girl with a Mandolin" (1910) show the progression from Cezanne's architectonics to the crystalline space-time continuum that was to break up the contemporary universe into the figurative metaphors of the Cubists' conceptions...

...music which the New Lost City Ramblers play is based almost entirely on field recordings made by commercial record companies and the Library of Congress during the period between 1925 and 1935. The Ramblers play almost the entire range of American folk instruments (mouth bow, harmonica, autoharp, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar), in the styles used by such groups as Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers, Byrd Moore and his Hot Shots, and Dr. Humphrey Bate and the Possum Hunters, to name but a few of the groups from which the Ramblers derive their repertoire. They play old breakdowns, sing ballads...
Mike Seeger was virtually raised on Library of Congress recordings since his parents were helping to compile the archives. By his late teens, Mike had become engrossed in the playing techniques of rural artists and he soon was playing guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and autoharp. He has since recorded solo albums for Vanguard and Folkways and most recently for Arhoolie...
