(December 21, 1934 – January 8, 2021)
I'M Just Wild About Harry & Harry’s Wild About Life
Photo by Gretchen Henn.Harry Brauser’s life was full of twists and turns from the beginning. Born in NYC, at the Society for the Lying-In Hospital on 17th Street and 2nd Avenue, his parents divorced when he was only three years old. According to Harry, his mother remarried when he was eight and Harry grew up in Bradford, PA, home of Zippo lighters and Kendall Gas and Oil...with one unusual diversion.

The Third Rail
Before we get into the weeds, I’ve got a mea culpa. In a previous article, I mentioned that my early folk music group, Art and Paul (Columbia Records, 1961) had enough positive response that our parent label hired two songwriters to write a song just for us. The song was Sealed With A Kiss. As I painfully recalled in the article, we rejected it because it just wasn’t a pure sounding folk song. Yikes! Looking back, I suddenly realized that in plain English, we were being “politically correct”!HOW MANY BOB DYLANS? SONGS OF THE HOLOCAUST
JANUARY 27, 2021—INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
Epigraph: The Second World War came to an end
We forgave the Germans and then we were friends
Though they murdered six million in the ovens they fried
The Germans now too have God on their side. (Bob Dylan. © 1963)
WASHINGTON, D.C.— STILL A BOURGEOIS TOWN
White folks in Washington they know how
throw a colored man a nickel just to see him bow
it’s a bourgeois town, it’s a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues,
and I’m gonna spread the news around.Lead Belly wrote Bourgeois Blues in 1935—in the midst of all the Jim Crow housing laws still in place. Me and Martha was standin upstairs,
heard a white man say I don’t want no colored here,
he’s a bourgeois man, in a bourgeois town,
I got the bourgeois blues
and I’m gonna spread the news around.”PHIL OCHS TURNS 80 YEARS OLD TODAY—DECEMBER 19, 2020
I’m writing this on my birthday, which is just ten days before Phil Ochs’ birthday December 19, 2020 when--having been born in 1940--he would have turned 80 years old. The reason I mention it is that it’s the one day of the year my favorite author and poet Robert Graves took off from writing. I did not plan on writing today either, in recognition of Graves’ day off—but I’m no Robert Graves, and tomorrow is Human Rights Day—the 10th—and I may need to finish it then—to be able to get it done by FolkWorks’ deadline which is also the 10th. I don’t have time to waste.Read more: PHIL OCHS TURNS 80 YEARS OLD TODAY—DECEMBER 19, 2020
ARTIST: THE ONLIES
TITLE: THE ONLIES
LABEL: Yodel-A-Hee 104
RELEASE: October 2, 2020
The latest CD The Onlies from the band The Onlies is a joy and it succeeds on all fronts. The musicianship is seasoned and mature, delivered with flawless technique; the production shimmers; the selections and arrangements honor and extend tradition; the art is, well, provocatively arty. And in this age of individual tracks, here is an album to be experienced in one sitting the old-fashioned way, with pacing that evokes the arc of a dance night moving smoothly through different energies.
