Carolinas Flute Circle Brings Heartfelt Sound to February 14th Gathering

Volume 7, Issue 2 February, 2003

By J. C. Honeycutt David Holtzclaw and Lisa Stevens, two area songwriters whose work share an emphasis on spirituality and humanity, will share the stage at a CFS house concert on Sunday, February 23, at 3 PM. This concert will take place at a new location, the home of CFS members Gaye and Dave List in northwest Char-lotte. We thank the Lists for offer-ing their home as a setting for this special concert. David Holtzclaw needs little intro-duction to Charlotteans who follow the local independent music scene. Performing solo or with blues vo-calist Donna Duncan or members of the band Tesser, he can fre-quently be found at venues like The Evening Muse, The Pewter Rose, the Sylvia Theater in York, SC, or the George Washington Bookstore & Tavern in Concord. When he's not performing, David often provides sound reinforce-ment for other musicians; you may have seen him at Kate Campbell's concerts, The Evening Muse, the Creative Currents Coffeehouse se-ries at Piedmont Unitarian Univer-salist Church, or a CFS Gathering. If you travel farther afield in search of good music, you might catch his act at Nashville's Bluebird Café Writers Night, where he's been (Continued on page 3.)

By Bob Child The Charlotte Folk Society is pleased to present the Carolinas Flute Circle in concert at our Febru-ary 14th Gathering. The program of Native American music and lore will begin at 7:30 PM in Room 113 of the Bryant Music Building on the main cam-pus of the Central Piedmont Commu-nity Col-lege. Gatherings are free and open to the public. Slow and fast jam sessions will follow the concert, so please bring your instruments to join in. Free parking is available in the Staff Lot accessed off of Fourth Street, between Independence Boulevard and Kings Drive. Native American flute music can be described as haunting yet beau-tiful in the same sentence. It stirs the soul. It is intensely spiritual. Members from the Carolinas Flute Circle will present a variety of songs and instruments as well as information regarding the spiritu-ality of the music on the evening of Saint Valentine's Day.

Appropriate for the date, the Na-tive American flute is also known as the Love Flute, as it was used by warriors in courting their loved ones. The flute's history goes back centuries before its origin disap-pears into a cloud of unknown.

The well-known Kokopelli flute-playing figure is well docu-mented in both petro-glyphs and pic-tographs

from ancient sites throughout the desert Southwest. Native American flutes are unique among flutes in their design of the sound-producing mechanism. Through various construction techniques, these wooden flutes have a wide variety of "voices" and timbre. As well, flutes come in a wide range of keys and de-signs. At the meeting you will have a chance to see these flutes first hand, learn more technical information . . . and if you are so moved, the Carolinas Flute Circle would love to welcome you to one of their gatherings. You can listen to sound clips from their record-ings at www.folksociety.org and (Continued on page 3.)

Carolina Roots Concert Series: Fiddler’s Convention Favorites with the Slate Mountain Ramblers

8 PM on Friday, March 7, at the Neighborhood Theatre

By Allen Cooke No need to wait for Galax or Fid-dler's Grove! Start the festival sea-son with high-energy old-time string band music and clogging! In the third of its Carolina Roots Concert Series, the Charlotte Folk Society will showcase Fiddler’s Convention Favorites. The 8 PM concert on Friday, March 7, will feature the talents of fiddler Rich-ard Bowman and the Slate Moun-tain Ramblers and the Hemlock Bluff Cloggers. The Stanly County Boys will kick off the even-ing at the Neighborhood Theatre, 511 East 36th Street, in Charlotte. Tickets for the general public are $12 are available through CFS, the Neighborhood Theatre at 704-358-9298 or www.neighborhoodtheatre.com, the Smelly Cat Coffeehouse, and CD Warehouse on Kings Drive. Credit card purchases may only be made through the Neighborhood Thea-tre. CFS member tickets are $10 and are available by mailing a check and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Charlotte Folk Society, P. O. Box 36864, Char-lotte, NC 28236-6864. North Carolinians are heirs to a unique musical legacy. Celebrate our Carolina Roots with the best of traditional mountain music and dance! The Musical Heritage One of the richest sources of musi-cal heritage in this area can be found in the homes of musicians in the mountains of the Carolinas and Virginia who play music that has been handed down from genera-

tion to generation and has re-tained much of its original form over many years. This music is largely derived from Irish, Scottish, and English tradi-tions brought to this country with European immigrants. Nowhere in the United States has this grass-roots music been celebrated more than in North Carolina and Vir-ginia. Throughout the summer there are many fiddler’s conven-

tions held in numerous towns to benefit the local rescue squads, lodges, and veterans’ organiza-tions. Two of the longest running conventions are held in Union Grove, North Carolina at “Fiddler’s Grove” and in Galax, Virginia at Felts Park. Another highly prominent convention is held in Mt. Airy, North Carolina at Veteran’s Park. The Slate Mountain Ramblers The Charlotte Folk Society is es-pecially pleased to bring to Char-lotte one of the top old-time fid-dlers from this musical scene. Richard Bowman of Ararat, Viriginia has been playing fiddle for thirty of his fifty years and has

won top honors at Galax, Fiddler’s Grove, and Mt. Airy with his band, the Slate Mountain Ramblers. The band was started in 1983 and be-came a family band in 1991 when his daughter Marsha Bowman was nine years old. The band currently consists of Richard Bowman playing old-time fiddle, his wife, Barbara Bowman, playing bass fiddle, Clyde Johnson playing guitar and per-forming vocals, and Michael Motley playing old-time banjo. Marsha

now plays with the Jean-nette Williams bluegrass band, but fills in for the Slate Mountain Ramblers whenever her schedule per-mits it. In fact Michael Motley learned to play the banjo from Marsha, who has won awards for her old-time banjo playing. Mi-chael, as well as Barbara and Marsha Bowman, are also clog dancers.

Richard Bowman’s style of playing has been described as “longbow”, which means he uses the whole bow to play his tunes (and sometimes about six more inches)! He is a self-taught musician. After Richard be-gan playing, he sought out other lo-cal fiddlers such as Tommy Jarrell and Ernest East of Surry County, North Carolina, and Taylor Kimble, Ernest Stanley, and Ivan Weddle of Patrick County, Virginia. He has an extensive collection of local fiddle music and has learned much by lis-tening to recordings of these fid-dlers. Just about all of his music col-lection comes from the music of fid-dlers who lived in Surry County, North Carolina and Patrick, Carroll, and Floyd Counties in Virginia. One of his favorites is an LP, re-

rector Bryan Craddock and Allen Cooke, Director of Charlotte's Sky-line Cloggers, combined to win the National Championship in the Duo category at Ocean City, Maryland. The Hemlock Bluff Cloggers are dedicated to preserving and shar-ing our regional heritage through the traditional art of clogging.

neighboring counties in North Carolina, the old-time style is often the music preferred. The Hemlock Bluff Cloggers The Hemlock Bluff Cloggers hail from Cary, North Carolina. This dance group was formed in Octo-ber of 1977, and has been perform-ing ever since throughout the southeastern United States. Spe-cializing in Southern Appalachian style clogging, the group performs freestyle, precision, and smooth dance in addition to numerous line dances. Past bookings have in-

cluded the Miss North Carolina Pageant, the 1982 World's Fair in Knox-ville, Ten-nessee, the U. S. Olym-pic Festival, Cajun Mardi Gras in Lafayette, Louisiana, and the 1989 and 1994 In-

ternational Folk Festivals in Cobh, Ireland. In addition, the Hemlock Bluff Cloggers have performed at numerous bluegrass/fiddler's con-ventions, including the largest such festival in the world at Galax, Vir-ginia, and the prestigious Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in Asheville. Interestingly, the group's first clogging competition was at the 1978 Mecklenburg County Shriners’ Fiddler's Conven-tion. Past awards include the North Carolina. State Clogging Champi-onship, the East Coast Clogging Championship, and numerous Folk Festival trophies at the North Caro-lina State Fair Folk Festival in Ral-eigh. In August of 1981, team Di-

corded from a reel-to-reel tape re-corder with music by Ernest Stan-ley on one side and Taylor Camp-bell on the other. The LP is called Eight Miles Apart because the fid-dlers lived that far apart. Richard says that they had a lot of pretty tunes. Many fiddlers of that area played in C tuning, but tuned the fiddle down two steps from D tun-ing in order to accommodate the autoharp. Richard explained that the old twelve-bar autoharps could only be played in G, C, and F. It is not a well-known fact that Richard also plays the autoharp; he plans to bring it for his appearance in Charlotte. Richard Bow-man’s music is a pure music distilled from a particular re-gion of Virginia and North Carolina, with little outside influence from fiddlers of other regions of the country. Over the years he has played almost exclusively in local and regional venues, often for dances. The Slate Mountain Ramblers were chosen by the High Mountain Steppers clogging team of Galax, Virginia to play for them during their performance at the 1996 Austrian Alps Performing Arts Festival. This concert offers listeners of mu-sic a rare opportunity to discover a favorite band of the judges and audiences alike at the fiddler’s conventions of North Carolina and Virginia. This music is an integral part of the folk heritage of this re-gion. From this music sprang the bluegrass style that has become very popular. But in the area around southwest Virginia and

FOLK CALENDAR

Susan began playing the ham-mered dulcimer in October of 1995 by imitating what she heard on recordings of traditional American and Celtic music. Her love of the instrument and traditional music has led her on a rich journey of performing and teaching. As evidenced in her recent solo recording, Wateree, Susan's play-ing is recognized as creative, ex-pressive and versatile. She has been invited to teach and perform at numerous festivals across the United States including the South West Dulcimer Festival in Dewey, Arizona; Queen City Dulcimer Festival in Charlotte; Bay Path Dulcimer Festival in Northbor-ough, Massachusetts; Cranberry Dulcimer Gathering; Binghamton, New York; and the Winston-Salem Dulcimer Festival in Winston-Salem. She is also very active in the local music community where she performs, teaches lessons, and conducts workshops. Susan is the founder of the Yorkville Music Weekend. The new festival emerged from Susan's desire to bring musicians together, to provide space for them to share their talents with each other, and to perpetuate the tradition of folk music in her hometown of York, South Carolina. The event began with hammered dulcimers, but has expanded to include fiddle work-shops and multi-instrument jams. Susan's solo recording Wateree was released in June of 2001 and features traditional American, in-ternational folk, and original tunes. Joining her are Albert Dulin (fiddles, mandolin), Ken Kolodner (fiddle, hammered dulcimer), Dan Bright (fiddle), and Fred McKin-

ney (guitar). Susan's original tune Garden Café Waltz was recently chosen to be re-released (August, 2002) on an Oasis CD Acoustic Sampler recording and distributed to over 500 radio stations nation-wide. Susan is a performing member of Indiegrrl. Indiegrrl performers are both established and emerging acts, and the criterion for being chosen is simple: "the music must be excep-tional, no matter where in your career you are." She is also a recipient of a Regional Artist Grant from the North Carolina Arts and Science Council, a member of the Charlotte Folk Society, Fiddle and Bow, World Folk Music Association, and the Baltimore Folk Society. During the summer months Susan is a full-time musician and spends much of her time teaching and per-forming. However, during the re-mainder of the year, she splits her time between her music and her teaching career in Engineering. Su-san has been a full time faculty member in Engineering Technology at York Technical College in Rock Hill, SC since 1986 where she teaches August - May. She is also very active and enjoys running and weight lifting.

Needed: One Volunteer

Coordinator

Meet Our Newest Folk Society Board Member, Susan Sherlock!

The Charlotte Folk Society has been blessed for the past several years with having Ruth Helms as our Volunteer Coordinator. A volunteer herself, she has made numerous phone calls to ask in-terested members to serve on be-half of CFS at a variety of events. Now, due to illness in her family, Ruth must step down from this position. We appreciate Ruth’s valuable service. The Volunteer Coordinator plays a vital role in making our presence felt in the community. If you enjoy meeting folks over the phone and would have time to serve in this capacity, please call Karen Singleton at 704-364-5433.

CFS and Our State Magazine at the Southern Spring

Show

By Carole Outwater Come celebrate a Cajun Mardi Gras with Carolina Gator Gumbo at 8 PM on Friday, February 28, at the Neigh-borhood Theatre, 511 East 36th Street, Charlotte. Wear a costume, dance in-cognito, beg for beads, join the parade and perhaps even take home a prize or two! Tickets are $8 at the door; call 704-358-9298 or visit www.neighborhoodtheatre.com. Not sure how to do the Cajun waltz or the Two-Step? Dance instructions are provided early in the evening. Dancing is not your favorite thing to do? There is good, comfortable seating provided close to the stage and around the dance floor. Catch the intermission “show” where you’ll be introduced to the an-cient begging festivities that occur through rural southwest Louisiana to-day. Revelers in“rag-tag” costumes perform rowdy merriment as they beg for a chicken for their communal gumbo. Take home some Cajun music: Carolina Gator Gumbo’s CD Into the Bayou. Visit www.carolinagatorgumbo.com.

Our State magazine has offered to make a substantial donation to the Charlotte Folk Society in exchange for our members’ staffing the publi-cation’s booth at the upcoming Southern Spring Show. Our State will also give us $5 for each new subscription sold during the show, which opens on February 22 and closes on March 2. Enjoy the beauty and inspiration of the Southern Spring Show, visit with some CFS friends, and sign up for that subscription you’ve been meaning to take to the best state magazine in the country! You might just hear some familiar mu-sic while you’re there – Our State has invited us to play our style of music and share our literature with visitors. To learn more about both Our State and the Southern Spring Show, visit www.folksociety.org and click on the links to their web sites. See you there!
