At first glance you might think that Freemake Music Box is a librarian/player along the lines of iTunes and Windows Media Player. You'd be wrong. Music Box (free) could care less about what you have on your hard drive. Instead it searches YouTube and presents you with it music and music videos that it finds based on th...
Just type the search criteria into Freemake Music Box and listen and watch the resulting online music.
Freemake Music Box doesn't really give any indication that the music is from YouTube, it merely presents it in a list and allows you to play it. There's also a video preview pane that displays any video that's related to the track you're playing. From that perspective, Music Box is a much nicer, simpler interface to Yo...
There's not much more to Freemake Music Box than I've described. It has the usual playback controls, and the ability to sort tracks by album, as well allowing you to add tracks to playlists for easy access later on. Freemake claims all the music is legal, which is debatable--but it is from a legitimate source and not a...
Probably the best aspect of Freemake Music Box is the box, as in black box, aspect. There are no ads or other distracting and influencing distractions to steer you in one direction or another. Type in a search phrase and as long as it's not a flat-out well-known artist or song name, you'll find some unusual stuff. If y...

The twelfth meeting of the Fredonia Shakespeare Club was held on Jan. 24 at the Lanford House hosted by Judi Woods. 16 members were in attendance. President Joyce Haines welcomed members and thanked our hostess and presenter.
Priscilla Bernatz read the minutes from the Jan. 17 meeting. The minutes were approved as written.
Folk songs are unrestricted in style and focus. In the United States much folk music reflects a distinct style of music-making use of acoustic instruments. Acoustic instruments are often recognized as portable and able to be used in most environs, as comfortable in a church as in Union Halls, Barn dances and political ...
Folk music is international. Folk music is a worldwide phenomenon that developed differently and uniquely in different cultures, much of the folk music in the USA has shared characteristics in rhythm, instrumentation and style with that of other countries.
When Europeans came to settle the United States, they brought with them the folk songs, styles, rhythms and ballads from the “old country.” This is evident in all of the cultures that populated this country. Polka music in the Polish communities, jigs and reels in the Irish communities, Klezmer bands in the Ashkenazi J...
Olive Dame Campbell moved to Appalachia with her husband. Olive realized that the songs she heard locally were strongly reminiscent of English and Scotch-Irish folk ballads. She began recording these songs. Olive became convinced that the songs she heard in Appalachia were largely unchanged versions of songs that had e...
Cecil Sharp, born in England in 1859, decided to take an extended visit to the United States. He hoped to find English folk songs that had survived in the more remote areas of Southern Appalachia, brought there by settlers from the British Isles. During the years 1916-1918 he recorded many songs that shared their origi...
Probably the most well-known Ethnomusicologist was Alan Lomax, who worked as a very young man at first with his father, who was a folklorist and musicologist, and then on his own, beginning in the early thirties, and continuing until the 1980s. Lomax took an interest in “Race Music” and sought the music of folk musicia...
It is a common belief that folk songs are so deeply embedded in the communities of their origin that there is no author. With time the record of who authored a song can become lost. The statement that Folk music doesn’t have known authors does not always reflect the truth: it’s short-sighted. All songs are examples of ...
Another family of great folk relevance, spanning the time between the world wars, was the Seeger family. They contributed to nearly a century of importance and relevance in the genre of Folk Music. Descended of immigrants on the Mayflower, Charles Seeger’s contributions to the body of Folk Music are of great importance...
More famous than either of his parents was Pete Seeger, who was a child of his father’s first marriage, but raised by Ruth. He was one of the two most important folk singers of the twentieth century, born in 1919, and coming of age in the culture of the “song-catchers.” Pete Seeger met Woody Guthrie in 1940, traveling ...
Woody Guthrie is widely considered the father of American folk music, setting standards for twentieth century folk balladeers for more than a generation. Because Woody Guthrie died in 1967 it’s easy to think of him as a contemporary folk singer, and certainly his popularity in the 1940’s and 1950’s reinforce that view....
Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, called Woody, was raised in Okfuskee, Oklahoma. Woody dropped out of high school in his senior year, already a capable musician. Woody worked odd jobs, and in his spare time learned the ballads and songs from the British Isles. During the Dust Bowl period Woody joined the thousands of Okies and ...
Toward the end of the thirties Guthrie achieved fame with a radio partner, Maxine “lefty lou” Crissman as a radio performer of commercial hillbilly music and folk music. Woody became a political activist, finding Socialism and Communism to hold values that he shared, while he never joined either the Communist or Social...
Folk songs clearly defined a philosophical way to musically deal with the hard times, and the way of life at the time.

With temperatures expected to remain in the mid to upper 90s this week, local and state health officials are recommending that people stay in an air conditioned area during peak times of the day and remain aware of signs indicating heat-related illness.
“If they have to go outside, we advise people to try to intermittently stay in the shade, especially the elderly, small children and people with compromised health,” said Kim Papich, spokeswoman for the Spokane County Regional Health District.
Papich said high temperatures could create a moderate risk for those sensitive to heat – especially children, seniors and people with chronic illnesses.
The health district advises people without adequate cooling to seek relief from the heat by visiting public places with air conditioning.
State health officials also issued an advisory urging people to take precautions and stay hydrated during extreme heat.
The Washington State Department of Health recently implemented a system that tracks data provided by hospitals across the state to identify trends with illnesses, such as heat stroke.
Early warning signs of heat stress are: decreased energy, light-headedness, headache, nausea and slight loss of appetite. People experiencing those symptoms should go to a cool environment, drink fluids and rest.
The health district advises people to always check the back seat of their vehicle to prevent leaving children and animals in a parked car – which can reach temperatures of more than 120 degrees.
It’s important to visit older friends, relatives and neighbors to ensure fans and air conditioners are working in their homes.
The Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey, which was conducted in 2015, found Seattle is the least air-conditioned city in the nation out of 41 metro areas, according to the Seattle Times.
The survey didn’t include data for Spokane County, but indicates only one of three housing units in Seattle had an air conditioner – a number significantly less than the national average of 89 percent of homes with air conditioning.
Rick Weber, manager of ACE Hardware in Spokane Valley, said the store hasn’t seen an increase in sales for air conditioners just yet.
Residents should have air conditioning units serviced in the spring before the heat hits as well as ensure air filters stay clean to keep them working properly, said Ed Vantassel, service manager for the Barton Boys Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
Vantassel said business is booming with calls from people wanting to get their air conditioning serviced before the heat wave hits.

Taylor Morrison is set to debut its 10,452-square-foot clubhouse at 300 Bonterra Blvd. in Bonterra at Woodforest, the south Montgomery County community for ages 55 and up.
The contemporary recreational hub will offer residents a fitness center providing yoga, zumba and pilates lessons. The space also includes a massage room, events venue and game room with billiard tables.
Outside, there's a heated lagoon-style pool and an event lawn with a fire pit, bocce ball court and lake views.
In addition, residents have access to Forest Island, a 16-acre complex that features themed community parks, tennis and an aquatics complex.

"Our new, diverse amenity center offers the type of recreation that boomers and seniors are looking for in cutting-edge, 55-plus communities."
The builders have said in previous interviews that they've seen a growing demand for senior living communities close to family friendly neighborhoods.
The builder will host an open house this weekend where guests can enjoy wine and scotch tastings, cigar rolling, chair massages and live music among other offerings. It will be held at the clubhouse from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sept. 10.

Patrice Talon (L) is handed a national flag during his swearing in as president of Benin at Charles de Gaulle Stadium in the capital Porto-Novo, April 6, 2016.
Patrice Talon was sworn in as Benin’s new president Wednesday, completing another peaceful transfer of power in the West African country.
Talon told the crowd of about 20,000 in the capital, Porto-Novo, that he will fight corruption and terrorism and foster economic development.
He also renewed a promise to step down after only one term. Although Benin allows its leader to serve two terms, Talon voiced concern that 10 years in office may leave leaders complacent, and said he will work to limit future presidents to one term as well.
Benin is an oasis of stability and democracy in the troubled West African region, where most of its neighbors have struggled with coups, political unrest and the Boko Haram insurgency in recent years.
Talon says he is committed to upholding Benin's reputation while strengthening the economy and keeping terrorism at bay.
“I will make diplomacy an instrument of cooperation for development," he said.
Benin is already a member of a multinational task force committed to fighting Boko Haram.
Talon, 57, was educated in Senegal and France and made a fortune in cotton before entering politics.
Talon supported former president Boni Yayi until being accused of a plot to poison the leader. He was later pardoned and returned from exile in October.
Talon assumes the presidency after defeating former prime minister Lionel Zinsou, the preferred candidate of the former president, in a run-off election last month.
When ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller’s family confirmed her death on Tuesday, they knew because the terrorist group had personally emailed them evidence she was dead.
It seems likely that this evidence led U.S. government analysts to conclude that Mueller had, in fact, died in ISIS custody. The direct cause of her death remains unclear. The extremists say she was killed by Jordanian airstrikes, but photographs in their initial statement, as well as descriptions of the images given t...
The photograph of a funeral shroud indicate more considerate treatment of Mueller at ISIS’ hands than some other prisoners received. Intelligence officials have speculated that she was given as a “bride” to a male jihadi fighter.
According to the Muellers’ congressman Rep. Paul Gosar, the U.S. government made at least one rescue attempt, in which a man approached an ISIS camp in Syria and identified himself as her husband. But Mueller, unaware of the plan, denied that she had a husband, thereby accidentally passing up a chance at freedom.
The Daily Beast has reported that the Muellers also tried to set up a prisoner exchange similar to that which secured the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. In the plan, their daughter would be freed in exchange for Aafia Siddiqui, an al-Qaida co-conspirator with degrees from MIT and Brandeis University who is current...
Foreign hostages’ families have been put through turmoil throughout the Syrian civil war and the ensuing rise of ISIS as a transnational jihadi “brand.” The U.S. and U.K. both have staunch “no-ransom” policies, on grounds that paying a ransom for captives is an unreliable way of securing their safety, and that it simpl...
The parents of Austin Tice, an American journalist and former Marine who vanished in Syria in August 2012, has repeatedly demanded more government accountability for their son’s fate. The State Department has speculated, based on very limited evidence, that Tice may be held by Bashar Assad’s government regime.
The families of beheaded American ISIS hostages James Foley, Peter Abdulrahman Kassig, and Steven Sotloff have also expressed frustration with the administrations no-ransom policy. Some relatives sent their own messages to ISIS, trying to negotiate terms of release, and saying they would gladly pay federal fines for ra...
We'd heard the casting news, we'd seen the images, but we had yet to get a real sense of what Bryan Fuller was cooking up with American Gods. Thankfully, that changed today at the panel for the Starz show, which adapts Neil Gaiman's 2001 novel into a (mostly) living, (mostly) breathing thing. British actor Ricky Whittl...

Sam Nunberg, who was fired from the Trump campaign in 2015, went off the rails on Monday, suggesting to multiple outlets that Robert Mueller may have dirt on the president.
“Why do I have to spend 80 hours going over my e-mails?” Nunberg, who was fired from the Trump campaign in August 2015, added to Tur. “[Why] does Bob Mueller need to see my e-mails when I send Roger and Steve clips and we talk about how much we hate people?” According to reports, Mueller also requested Nunberg’s commun...
Google has been doing a lot of updating to numerous services lately and Hangouts is the latest to receive the update. This is just the latest in a series of updates that Hangouts has been getting. Some of the other updates include the ability to add digital mustaches and schedule video chats before a Google+ event.
Google has now added Hangouts to Gmail so that users can video chat straight from Gmail. Wait, they could do that already? Well, now you can group video chat and host virtual meetings right from Gmail. The new addition should provide a higher quality video chat experience along with several other benefits.
For one, using Hangouts will allow users on Android, iOS, or Google+ in a web browser to join in the fun. Furthermore, it will allow users to video chat with up to nine friends, as opposed to the previous option of only one. It may not be one of Google's coolest updates, but it certainly makes sense. Check out the vide...
PSG, City, La Liga: Where could Wayne Rooney go if he left United?
WITH his days at Manchester United appearing numbered, Wayne Rooney may be forced to assess his option if he were to leave Old Trafford.
Backed by a mega-rich Qatar consortium, PSG have already been reported to be considering a summer move for Rooney and they could afford his £250,000 a week wages.
Rooney’s combination of tenacity and talent is admired by both Real and Barca. Cristiano Ronaldo would certainly put in a word for him at the Bernabeu. And Jose Mourinho, if he stays as manager, loves him.
Bankrolled by billionaire Russian oligarch Suleyman Kerimov, Anzhi could give family-man Rooney a highly lucrative final payday, but the Dagestan location means there is no chance of that.
City registered their interest in signing Rooney when he was having his contract stand-off with United in 2010 and, like Tevez, would love to take another of their best players. But Rooney would never consider joining City.
A sentimental return to his first club is more likely to happen towards the end of his career. Rooney, approaching 28, will want to spend his peak years with a top Champions League club.
Rooney has a high profile in the US and would be regarded as a big enough name to justify “franchise player” status and the wages that go with it. But, again, highly unlikely at this stage of his career.
Their 22,000-square-foot newly constructed Brentwood, Calif., mansion has a moat, but owning that lavish estate hasn’t stopped Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady from wanting a home in NYC again.
Bündchen, on her own, stopped by the new Walker Tower luxury development at 212 W. 18th St. The supermodel/mom toured a three-bedroom, 2,800-square-foot condo listed for $11.495 million. The home includes a 400-square-foot terrace and great views of the Empire State Building.
Ralph Thomas Walker originally designed the Art Deco building in 1929. Amenities in the still in-the-works condo conversion include a concierge, library lounge, children’s playroom, gym with yoga room and landscaped roof deck with dining area, sun lawn, “observation” area and covered cabana room.
