It was back in the late eighties, the Winter of '87. I was working as a Math and English teacher at Berkeley High School, and was very burned out and running on empty, having recently been forced to take a gun from a student - and I was pondering whether I even wanted to be a teacher anymore.

It was a freezing late Winter afternoon, the red sun setting in a welter of clouds over the Golden Gate. I'd been buying groceries for my dinner at the Berkeley Cheese Board and at a little chicken shop there, and vegetables at that great produce market that used to be on the corner of Vine and Shattuck (maybe it still is).

A frigid breeze was blowing off the bay, and as I lugged my groceries up the hill and threw them in the car, I decided I just had to have a cup of coffee at Peets.

Just to keep going. I went in to Peets, and ordered a cup of French Roast, but I was so wiped out and my hands were shaking so badly, that when I pulled my money out, the coins just fell clattering all over the counter.

Suddenly a voice to my left said to me: "Friend, you really need to take it easy." I turned and there was a bearded man standing there, his face all rosy and aglow and with the most beautiful smile on his face, a smile that just filled me with warmth and peace and happiness. I stammered, "Thank you!", and turned for just a second to grab my cup of coffee, but when I turned back to talk to the man, he was gone.

There weren't many people in Peets at that moment, so a quick glance confirmed that he wasn't in the shop. I ducked out the door (Peets is right on the street corner at Vine and Walnut), and looked in both directions down both sidewalks, and they were empty except for papers blowing in that biting winter ocean wind. He was nowhere to be seen. And then it hit me.

I had been talking to an angel. This song seems to resonate with the appearance and identity of that mysterious being who stepped in to a turning point in my life, a Rilkean angel telling me that I must change my life.

But did I change my life? 27 years later I am still haunted, still burned out more often than not, still a creature of stress and mystery and still fueled and running on empty with caffeine. A lonely single Dad raising a lonely only daughter.

But you know, sometimes there are songs that go beyond feelings. There are songs that voyage out beyond thought. These songs put us in touch with our own lostness which is also our own divinity. They are rare, indeed, and they work their way into our hearts like the black and white ghosts of old angels.

Such is "The Wind Blows Wild," which Wolf composed and recorded partially in a hospital room during her final days. It's about life, love and death and was written by Kate Wolf as she, herself, was dying. Kate died in 1986, at age 44, after a long battle with leukemia.

She is buried at a small church cemetery in Goodyears Bar, California. My daughter Gabrielle and I went there, in the deep snow, in the Winter of 2004, not long after my Mom died. Kate was there, sleeping under the snow like the Yuba River that flowed by Goodyears Bar was sleeping under the ice. I encourage you all to go out and buy this album, and all of Kate's albums. I have no commercial interest in this song.

If you want to own it, purchase it online or in a CD store. All of her albums are great. This is from her last, and is the title song. Buying it will support the perpetuation of great music everywhere, and Kate will be smiling from that quiet grave West of Weaverville in that little place on the Yuba River called Goodyears Bar. It should be deep in snow again right now.

But Kate's great heart will be beating there for you, as it will always beat for me, as it beats on her albums - for we all share one Heart, and no snow or ice or fear or oppression will keep our one Heart from beating out a tune of Love and Fellowship into Forever.

Y'know how sometimes an otherwise innocuous song will drop a scrap of lyrics on you that just echo in your head for days? And how sometimes that happens every time you hear the thing?

Was just (re)listening to Kate Wolf's "Old Jerome", which is a soft and melancholy little thing about a mostly-ghost mining town in Arizona, and I'm always caught up short by the lines:

Houses cling to mountains

Like miners cling to dreams

They hold on so long, and then they just let go

Previously posted Nanci Griffith’s cover of the song __________________________ Across the Great Divide Songwriter: Kate Wolf

I've been walkin' in my sleep Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep Where the years went I can't say I just turned around and they've gone away

I've been siftin' through the layers Of dusty books and faded papers That tell a story I used to know It was one that happened so long ago

It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide

Well, I heard the owl callin' Softly as the night was fallin' With a question, and I replied But he's gone across the borderline

He's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide

The finest hour that I have seen Is the one that comes between The edge of night and the break of day It's when the darkness rolls away

It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide

It's gone away in yesterday Now I find myself on a moutainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide

Album Review: Various Artists - Bear’s Sonic Journals: Sing Out!

When two-thirds of the Grateful Dead, Country Joe McDonald, Rosalee Sorrles and Kate Wolf got together to raise funds at the Seva Sing Out for Sight benefit at Berkeley Community Theater, organizer and emcee Wavy Gravy termed the April 25, 1981, benefit a “mini-Woodstock.”

And he reprised his famous stage announcement from 12 years earlier, declaring: “What we have in mind is a fine set of eyes for 300,000.”

In the interim, the musicians provided the audiences’ ears with fine sets of music as captured by Owsley “Bear” Stanley and just released as Bear’s Sonic Journals: Sing Out!, volume 10 of the ongoing series which seeks to find and preserve these reels and release what’s releasable. On that note, it should be mentioned Odetta also performed on this evening, but Stanley’s foundation was unable to secure permission to release her music.

As would be expected for a Bay Area gig in ’81, the Dead members closed the show, beginning with an surprise, 20-minute performance from the Rhythm Devils - aka Grateful drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart - who reprised their nightly drum duet on a scaled-down set of kits. Posterity is lucky to have it; however, drum showcases by definition have limited appeal.

The pair, joined by bassist John Kahn, stuck around to accompany Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir for their acoustic set, which mirrored Dead’s 1980 15th-anniversary celebration with unplugged songs like “Dark Hollow,” “Monkey and the Engineer,” “Oh, Babe it Ain’t No Lie,” “On the Road Again” and others.

“We started out kinda like this,” Weir says after the opening “Deep Elem Blues. “We wanted to be the Rocky and Bullwinkle of rock ‘n’ roll.”

The entire nine-song performance is splendid, and particularly interesting for the slow - but acoustic - rendering of “Friend of the Devil” and the evening-closing “Oh Boy!”

Preceding the Rhythm Devils, Wolf alludes to the occasion with stunning renditions of “20/20 Vision” and “Eyes of a Painter,” among other songs, during a six-song set that finds Gravy joining in for a wobbly rendition of the Youngblood’s “Get Together.” While the sound of this and every other performance is flawless, the producers left in a bit of tape degradation in the middle of Wolf’s set to sonically illustrate the importance of tracking down and restoring the Bear’s countless recordings.

With Mitch Greenhill providing a second guitar, Sorrels performs a lovely folk set during which she professes her love for San Francisco on the original “12 Adler Place” and nods to her genre’s roots on “If You Love Me” and “The Loving of the Game,” a number whose resonance remains so clear, David Bromberg and Michael Cleveland have each cut it in recent years.

Opening the evening, McDonald tied together the hopefulness of the Woodstock generation and the ominous dawn of the Reagan era by reprising “The Fuck Cheer,” retrofitting “Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag” with references to Iran and Afghanistan, remembering his friend Joplin on “Janis” and looking toward a potentially dystopian future on “Picks & Lasers.” But perhaps more illuminating are “Slide Trombone Blues,” which McDonald plays on the titular instrument and his instrumental rendering of “Oh! Susanna” on acoustic guitar; for they show another side of the quirky folkie.

It’s no substitute for being there. But much like the Woodstock movie and albums, Sing Out! helps those who couldn’t be there get some idea how wonderful Wavy Gravy’s mini-Woodstock of ’81 must’ve been.

This fantastic reproduction of a gown worn by Queen Jane Seymour in a portrait by Hans Holbein was seen being worn by Kate Phillips in the 2024 sequel to Wolf Hall – The Mirror and the Light.  The piece looked familiar, and some digging revealed it to have been used in 2016 in Six Wives with Lucy Worsley, worn by Elly Condron also portraying Jane Seymour.

However, because the documentary likely did not have any original costumes, it means that the gown almost certainly did not originate with the 2016 documentary.  So where did it originate?  The most likely candidate is the 2008 adaptation of The Other Boleyn Girl.  Though the gown, worn by Corinne Galloway as Jane Seymour is shown only briefly, and almost entirely in shadow, it does appear to be the same gown. Minor alterations were made for Six Wives and The Mirror and the Light, but the fabric on the petticoat is the best indication that they are one and the same.
