Things Have Gone To Pieces

"Driver 8" is a song by the American rock band R.E.M. It was released as the second single from their third studio album, "Fables of the Reconstruction", in 1985. The song was written by R.E.M.'s primary singer, Michael Stipe, and it features a distinctive guitar riff played by Peter Buck

The title "Driver 8" refers to the operator of the train that used to run between Atlanta and Athens Georgia, where R.E.M. originated. The song tells the story of the train operator and his experiences on the job. The lyrics are are generally thought to be about the working-class experience and the struggles of everyday life

"Driver 8" describes the physical and emotional toll of working long hours, and the need for rest and rejuvenation.
The song also touches on themes of the changing landscape and the impact of progress on the environment and communities. The history of land being divided and a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm and power lines with floaters to prevent airplane snagging convey a sense of a rural America being encroached upon by urbanization and industrialization

Overall, "Driver 8" can be interpreted as a commentary on the human cost of progress and the need for balance between growth and preservation of tradition and nature

I first heard REM recordings in the early 80s on Antidote Radio, an underground FM show on WVVX from 1983-85 in northern Illinois. My teen musical friends from rural farm towns into Chicagoland all knew REM. Their songs were a mainstay of 80s Gen X music nerds. Fast forward to 1987, a friend who lived in the same building in Tempe AZ was a big REM fan - he played a Fender Mustang and would be later know as the legendary guitarist Spiral Stairs. Spiral invited me along to see REM with his friends who were in town from Northern California. That is when I saw historic REM play the historic Ffrank Lloyd Wwright Gammage Auditorium with the guys who would become the rock band Pavement. Was a good show. Michael Stipe did a Grateful Dead acid trip ballerina dance while wearing a flowery oldtime flower-sack dress as he sang Flowers Of Guatemala

The Metropol was an ancient cavernous club with sweaty walls packed with about 1500 hundred people, many of which were US soldiers. I had long curly red hair back then and was pressed to the stage barricade in a dense crowd. I remember being groped on the chest from behind by a big drunk US army guy while watching Michael Stipe dance around dead-stoned in black eyeliner from ten feet away. Army guy looked quite surprised for sure when I turned around and yelled WTF about to beat his ass but then we laughed it off and enjoyed the show. Me too, JTS

DRIVER 8

Driver 8 (1964 B-25N-12)

The banjo is a musical instrument with African origins, believed to have been developed by enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and later brought to North America. The exact origins of the banjo are unclear, but it is thought to have evolved from similar stringed instruments in West Africa, such as the akonting or ngoni

The banjo first gained popularity in the United States during the 19th century, particularly in the American South, where it became associated with African American music and culture. Early banjos were typically made with gourds for resonators and animal skin for the drumhead, and were played using a technique called frailing or clawhammer, in which the player's fingernail or a piece of bone is used to strike the strings

In the late 19th century, the banjo underwent a period of rapid evolution, with improvements in materials and construction leading to the development of more sophisticated and versatile instruments. One important development was the introduction of the resonator, a wood plate behind the open drum that increased the volume and projection of the banjo's sound. Another was the development of the five-string banjo, which added a shorter fifth string that allowed for more complex playing techniques

The origins of the 5-string banjo are unclear, but it is believed to have been developed by African American musicians in the mid-19th century. The addition of the fifth string, which is shorter than the other four strings and is tuned to a higher pitch, allowed for a wider range of notes and made it easier to play certain melodies and chord progressions

One of the early pioneers of the 5-string banjo was Joel Sweeney, a white musician from Virginia who popularized the instrument in the mid-1800s. Sweeney is often credited with introducing the shorter fifth string, as well as other improvements to the banjo, such as the addition of frets and the use of metal strings

However, it's important to note that the development of the 5-string banjo was likely a collaborative effort among many musicians, both black and white, and its exact origins are difficult to trace. Nonetheless, Sweeney's contributions were significant and helped to establish the modern form of the instrument that is still popular today

During the early 20th century, the banjo became a popular instrument in a variety of musical styles, including jazz, blues, and country music. The instrument was played by a number of famous musicians, including Earl Scruggs, who popularized a three-finger picking style that became known as the Scruggs style

In recent years, the banjo has experienced a resurgence of popularity, particularly in the realm of folk and Americana music. Today, the banjo is played in a wide range of styles and genres, and is appreciated for its unique sound and cultural significance in musical storytelling

I started playing double bass in 1992 and soon transitioned to playing electric bass. While still in high school, I was also attending a jazz conservatory and soon found myself playing in wedding bands and later in clubs and bars of NYC and Long Island. I've spent about a year as a Sound Engineer's assistant. Upon moving to Maryland, I've continued to play music in bars, restaurants, and festivals. Looking forward, I am intent on playing more jazz, more double bass, and more private events.
