Olivver The Kid - Now You Know

Strangers on the streets of Seattle read Martha Silano's poem 'Once'

Martha Silano | Once

Broadcaster Piers Plowright explores five sound-worlds - some from far back in his life and some more recent - which still resonate with him.

In this last episode of the series, jazz pianist and teacher Louis Vause examines, with Piers, one of the great Blues performances of all time - New Orleans pianist James Booker's interpretation of True at the 1978 Montreux Jazz Festival.

This is a performance that has haunted Piers since he first heard it and has come to speak to him of all the longing and grief - and maybe hope - that the Blues express.

The programme includes an interview with Lily Keber who made the recent film about Booker, Bayou Maharajah.

Produced by Alan Hall
First broadcast 14th August 2015, BBC Radio 4

Too Deep

God gazed down on you from Heaven
Text by Marina Tsvetaeva
Translation by Christopher Whyte

She sat on everybody's knee,
had everybody's arms around her,
gave her love without reserve,
and when her eyes looked at you,
God gazed down on you from Heaven.

Performed by the International Orange Choral of San Francisco, directed by Zane Fiala

SFCM's 10th Annual Biennial Choral Composition Competition in the Caroline H. Hume Concert Hall at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music - May 1, 2016

The Pickle King

Words and Music: Cornelius Eady

Gonna start walking to the RF and P
Won’t stop walking until I’m free
Gonna stop working for Mr. Marmaduke
He gave my sweat to the railroad.
The rails are iron, but they ain’t chains,
He’ll never see my face again.

Gonna start walking to the RF and P
Won’t stop walking until I’m free.
Take that pick ax, and haul away.
He gave my sweat to the railroad.
My feet sprout wings and flew away.
My feet will have the final say.

Gonna start walking to the RF and P
Won’t stop walking until I’m free.
Marmaduke tossed me like corn to a hog
He gave my sweat to the railroad.
From Fredericks Hall in Virginia land
The South lost a nigger, the North gained a man.

Gonna start walking to the RF and P
Won’t stop walking until I’m free.
Got a $5 bounty upon my head
I took my sweat off the railroad.
The rebels call me contraband,
Gonna bring back the Union and raze this land.

Gonna start walking to the RF and P
Won’t stop walking until I’m free.
Gonna come back and get my wife
Gonna float like a ghost down the railroad.
Go where I left her on Marmadukes’s farm
Gonna feel like heaven when I take her arm.

Gonna start walking to the RF and P
Won’t stop walking until I’m free
My name’s Sam Balton and my story’s true
I’m a Union hero on the railroad.
Goose gotta fly, and a free man sing
I’ll die rich and happy as a pickle king.
