#BookIllustrationOfTheDay #60for60 is for “Tommy the Rhymer “ by Leon Rosselson, featured in the anthology “The Cloth of Dreams “ (1992). My first big anthology, full of “modern” fairy tales, I chose to give this one an Elizabethan setting. Sumptuous inks, line and wash. #illustration #elizabethan #leonrosselson #elizabethan

Billy Bragg, “Between the Wars EP” (Go! Discs, 1985). 4 songs from the early days of Billy Bragg, when it was really just words and electric guitar. What’s now a classic Billy Bragg song, “Between the Wars,” headlines the EP—it’s sort of a dirge lamenting war’s impact on the working class. Then a version of Florence Reece’s “Which Side Are You On?” drawing the line in the sand dividing those for progressive workers’ rights and those for complacency and the status quo. The B-side features a rousing cover of Leon Rosselson’s “World Turned Upside Down,” a song about the Diggers, a mid-17th century movement, the radical wing of the New Model Army who were all executed by nervous landowners. Their main spokesperson was Gerrard Winstanley, and given his writings, one might reasonably argue that Marx was a Winstanleyan. The single ends with “It Says Here,” a song about conservative misrepresentations of class struggle along with satirical lines about the Tory papers. The songs here were so iconically Billy Bragg that they were reissued first with the “Spy vs. Spy” EP and then in “Back to Basics.” #BillyBragg #LeonRosselson #FlorenceReece #WorldTurnedUpsideDown #SocialistMusic #UrbanFolk #FolkPunk #WIliamBloke #RedWedge #WokingMusic #GerrardWinstanley #Marxism #TheDiggers

The Sound Cafe Featuring English folk luminaries such as Martin Carthy and Billy Bragg, this collection proves that Leon Rosselson, now well into his 80s, has created an oeuvre comparable to other social critics such as Phil Ochs.

SWEET POTATOES: "we all cook sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes" stream for free, track 21 on Lively Time Playsongs, with the wonderful Playsongs People (Featuring Janet Russell and Leon Rosselson) . . . #LeonRosselson #JanetRussell #FolkSingers #Singing #Lively #Dancing #Cooking
THIS WEEK'S PLAYSONG: Here’s to the joy of moving to the sound of a tune, no matter whether you’re three or eighty-three. Leon Rosselson wrote My Great Gran’s a Dancer for Playsongs Grand Exercise, and in doing so, he waltzed up the happily twirling image of a great-gran and her great-grandchild dancing together, hand in hand in the kitchen with the radio on. “We laugh and we clap cos we’re having such fun, As we dance to the moon and we dance to the sun.” Leon is himself a great-grandparent and has never stopped making music. He recorded the song for us in mid-pandemic and mid-winter, when we were all wearing masks and staying indoors as much as possible. It was a time of separation for so many grandparents and their grandchildren. So it is a celebration of that time of coming together again. @age_uk @songs_and_smiles . . . #dance #motorskills #largemotorskills #underfives #toddlers #parenting #MothersDay #grandparenting #mums #dads #toddlers #greatgrandparents #LeonRosselson

Leon Rosselson & Roy Bailey "That's Not The Way It's Got to Be" (Fuse, 1975). Leon Rosselson was one of the great British folk singers of the 60s—while some chased Dylan, Rosselson developed his own radical satirical voice, a sly sense of humor that inspired the likes of Billy Bragg and Chumbawamba (and maybe The Dead Kennedys?). The record opens with a poem called "School Taught Me": "School taught me/ to write my name/ to recite the answers/ to feel ashamed/ to stand in corners/ to wait in line/ to kiss the rod / to be on time / and trust in god. / To make me a model citizen / that was their goal. / Well, I don't know about that, / but it was useful training / for a career / on the dole." The record ends with what, due to Billy Bragg's cover of it, has become Rosselson's best known song, "The World Turned Upside Down," a tribute to Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers of the mid-17th century, but where Bragg makes the song a rousing punkish anthem, Rosselson's version is closer to a hymn. Between are lots of great songs and poems aiming at complacency in Britain. Piano, guitar, oboe, accordion, and other instruments lend some musical variety from track to track. #LeonRosselson #RoyBailey #ThatsNotTheWayItsGotToBe #AgitProp #PoliticalMusic #FolkMusic #TheWorldTurnedUpsideDown #BillyBragg #SpokenWord #GerrardWinstanley #Chumbawamba #SatiricalMusic #JohnKirkpatrick #MartinCarthy #SueHarris #FuseRecords

Six months after that, whilst still recovering & shielding, I embarked on the first stage of #ThisLandIsYourLand. And thus, after musicological research, composing & arranging, rehearsing & recording by proxy, mixing & producing, writing, learning Farsi and working with three literary translators and a graphic designer to produce a 20-page trilingual booklet...

Good Cause Eviction is a bill that has recently been signed into law in several cities throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond, including just this week in Kingston, protecting tenants from predatory rent increases and unfair evictions at the whim of the owner of their home. However despite the recent expiration of the statewide pandemic eviction moratorium, the law has yet to pass county or statewide, facing opposition from the real estate industry and the politicians they sponsor. We listen to a playlist of songs dealing with the longstanding struggle for adequate housing. Link in bio.

Within the diverse world of protest songs, there is the distinct approach of satire: the use of sarcasm or irony to expose the absurdity of the subject at hand.
