St. Patrick's Day


Saint Patrick and the Snakes:

A tale about Patrick is that he drove the snakes from Ireland. Different versions of the story tell of him standing upon a hill, using a wooden staff to drive the serpents into the sea, banishing them forever from Ireland.

One version says that an old serpent resisted banishment, but that Patrick outwitted him. Patrick made a box and invited the snake to enter. The snake insisted it was too small and the two argued. Finally to prove his point, the snake entered the box to show how tight the fit was. Patrick slammed the lid closed and threw the box into the sea.

There are many skeptics. Some say that although it’s true that Ireland has no snakes, this likely had more to do with the fact that Ireland is an island and being separated from the rest of the continent the snakes couldn’t get there. Some say that the stories of Saint Patrick and the snakes are likely a metaphor for his bringing Christianity to Ireland and driving out the pagan religions (serpents were a common symbol in many of these religions).

Today we have the real story of the snakes. Snakes were prolific in Ireland because they were clever little chaps who had come from England in long thin boats that resembled floating cigar tubes. They hid the tubes in case they had to escape later. They settled mostly in the north and lived in abandoned orange crates, but slowly began to slither southward. Saint Patrick first drove out the dreaded judge snakes, who took delight in biting little children, especially the innocent. South from Avoca he drove them through Woodenbridge and Arklow into the sea at Kilmichael Point. Little did Saint Patrick know but some escaped the ravages of the sea in their little tubes and after a long journey across the Atlantic sailed up the Delaware River and disembarked at the Water Gap and slithered up Route 80 until they came to Luzerne County.
Saint Patrick next drove out the much-feared lawyer snakes, who would hiss and say:"Sue, sue, sue" He drove them through Doonbeg off Donegal Point. Little did Saint Patrick know but some escaped the ravages of the sea in their little tubes and after a long journey across the Atlantic sailed up the Delaware River and settled mostly in Philadelphia. Saint Patrick next drove out the vicious regulator snakes who would hiss and make up rules that you had to follow or else they would bite you in a soft spot of your anatomy. The most vicious of this species was the OHSHA snake. He drive themfrom Toormoore and Goleen into the sea at Crookhaven. Little did Saint Patrick know but some escaped the ravages of the sea in their little tubes and after a long journey across the Atlantic sailed up the Potomac River in Washington DC and neighboring territories.

The Lady/China Boy - Condon 1944
In 1944 Eddie Condon and his All Stars began their scheduled radio broadcasts on the Blue Network. Every Saturday afternoon they did half hour shows at 1.30 pm from the Town Hall in New York. The shows were transcribed by the Armed Forces Radio Service and broadcast around the world. This show won the first price in the GI popularity poll. The shows continued until around 1947. I believe some 45-50 shows were recorded and are now available on CD's through the Jazzology label.


Performance Music at The University of Scranton will host a recital by renowned violinist Annamae Goldstein, accompanied by pianist Christopher Oldfather, on Sunday, March 13. The performance begins at 3 p.m. in the Houlihan-McLean Center. Admission is free and open to the public.
Goldstein earned her Master of Music at The Julliard School in 1988 and for the past 21 years has been a violinist with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. She has also performed as part of the Metropolitan Opera Chamber Ensemble, under the direction of James Levine. As a member of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Goldstein has had the opportunity to play on numerous recordings and television broadcasts with the company, including a Grammy-award-winning recording of Wagners Die Walkure. She has also performed on the group's critically acclaimed recordings of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and Beethoven's 3rd Symphony.
In addition to her work with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chamber Ensemble, Goldstein is also a founding member of and violinist for the IRIS String Quartet and a member of Musica Amici. The IRIS String Quartet has performed throughout the United States. Musica Amici has performed in New York and throughout the eastern United States.
A committed teacher and community activist, Goldstein has taught at the Trevor Day School as well as the French Woods summer music program. As a board member of the New York City philanthropic organization Pathways to Housing, she direc
ts the organization?s music fund-raising program.
Accompanying Goldstein will be acclaimed pianist Christopher Oldfather. Since his recital debut in Carnegie Hall in New York in 1986, Oldfather has performed throughout the world as a freelance musician. He has appeared as a soloist with ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, the New World Symphony, and the Ensemble Modern in Frankfurt, Germany. His experiences have led him to perform on virtually every type of keyboard ever made, including the Chromelodeon, an experimental, color-coded reed organ developed by instrument creator Harry Partch. He is best known for his expertise on the harpsichord and as a leading advocate for the performance of 20th century music for more than 30 years. O
ldfather has been a member of Boston's Collage New Music since 1979, and New York's Parnassus since 1997. In 1990, he was nominated for two Grammy Awards for his recording of Elliot Carter's violin-piano duo with violinist Robert Mann.

Ron Lowballowski of Moosic was down on his luck,
and as he was looking through the classifieds, he saw an
intriguing ad offering a ten million dollar reward to the person
who could find and retrieve, intact, something called a "tis
bottle."
Having nothing to lose, he calls the man who placed the ad. "I
absolutely must have this bottle, and there are only three
surviving in the world," the wealthy man tells him, "one is in
the heart of the deepest jungle, one is at the bottom of the
coldest, darkest sea, and one is at the top of the highest
mountain. I will pay your expenses for however long it takes to
bring me one of these bottles, as well as giving you the ten
million."
Being an adventurous fellow, Ron decides to accept the offer.
First, he gathers a retinue of guides and hunters to go with him
into the jungle. He studies for months to prepare, and when he
is ready to survive, he sets out to get the bottle. Into the
jungle he goes, and after many close calls, and much loss of life,
he finds the bottle.
As he is on his way out of the jungle with the bottle well packed
and padded, he is attacked by wild animals, and not only is he
badly mauled, but the box with the tis bottle goes flying, and box
and bottle shatter.
It takes some time for him to recover from his injuries, but when
he's well enough, he begins preparations to retrieve the bottle at
the bottom of the sea. He takes diving lessons, hires the newest
and best deep-sea diving equipment and crew, and takes to the
sea. With little trouble, they managed to get the bottle, but on
the way up, they are attacked by sharks, and have to rush to the
surface. In the hurry, the fellow not only gets the bends, but
the bottle falls and breaks on the deck. More time in the
hospital later, recovering slowly, he's more determined than ever
to get the third and final bottle.
He spends over a year learning mountain climbing and survival,
becoming accustomed to low oxygen and heights, and planning the
ultimate shatter-proof container for the bottle. He hires a crew
of experienced guides and begins his climb. By the time they
reach the top, they're low on supplies, weak, and frostbitten, but
he will not give up. The bottle is packed and secured, and the
group begins the descent. When they reach the bottom of the
mountain, the fellow again has to spend time in the hospital
recovering from his injuries, but he keeps the bottle with him
and in sight at all times.
Finally, he's ready to present it to the wealthy man and collect
his reward.
He goes to the wealthy man's house, and carefully unpacks the "tis
bottle" and hands it over. The wealthy man inspects it joyfully,
and hands the fellow a check for ten million dollars.
"Thank you and good day, sir," he says, dismissing the fellow.
"Wait!" the fellow cries, " I was attacked by wild animals,
suffered the bends, and lost fingers and toes for this bottle.
I've spent years looking for it, and almost as long in the
hospital from trying to get it. Aren't you going to tell me why
it's so precious and what it's for?"
"Um, it's a little embarrassing, actually. Why don't you just
take the money and go?"
"I'm not leaving here until you tell me what this bottle is for!"
shouts the fellow.
With a sigh, the wealthy man motions for the fellow to follow him.
They go into the back of the house, and the wealthy man presses a
hidden button to reveal a secret door. Behind the door is a small
room with another door, behind a strong gate. The wealthy man
unlocks the gate, unlocks the door, and opens the heavy vault
door behind it with a combination. Inside the vault are thousands
of bottles lined up neatly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling,
with one vacant spot labeled "tis". Gently the man places the
bottle in its spot, and declares "There you go."
"Oh, come on," the fellow replies. "There has to be more to it
than that."
With a sigh, the man picks up a delicate, padded mallet that hangs
nearby and gently begins striking the bottles, and a tune emerges.
"'My country tis of thee..."
