Kent Courtney Performs at American Honors History Weekend

Today's the day of the America Honors History Breakfast at the 1863 Inn of Gettysburg.  That's the former Holiday Inn.  I'll be performing there at 9am and it runs until 11am.  They'll be kicking off the promotion of the annual Gettysburg Reenactment today, also.  Thank you WGET for interviewing me on Thursday and Friday of this week.  Fred Snyder first had me on his morning radio show back about 1997.  WGET has been very good to me every since.  http://www.livinghistorymusic.com

Music by:  Free the Tweeds

Come meet the artists and listen to music by Free the Tweeds, an eclectic Folk Rock band that keeps the spirit of folk rock ( 50s, 60s, 70s ,80s, 90s ) alive with original, traditional, and cover tunes. 

Susan Courtney is an amazing drummer with a unique kit that includes djembe, dumbek, kick drum, high-hat, foot tambourine, shaker, bongos and gong.  Tired of the same old beats, Susan created her own unique sound that works perfectly with the music that they play.  She combines Celtic drive with African, Indian and Middle Eastern rhythms.  Applied to traditional and pop music the effect is electrifying and give a fresh life to many standards.

Her husband, Kent Courtney has had an intense music career that included extensive woodshedding in the Pacific Ocean, when he was a sailor for the U. S. Navy.  He still has a love for seafaring songs.

Kent stumbled onto some interesting niches in folk music that got him on National TV on a regular basis.

Take the Streetcar

In many cities around the world, streetcars provide important in-town transportation services. Whether they are the old-time trolleys like there are in New Orleans, or the modern light-rail vehicles like the ones in Philadelphia, they provide an important part of moving people around a city. They are almost all electric. That means power to move the vehicles is generated from a central source and transmitted by wires or conduit to the individual streetcars. Using this method means that emissions from the power generating plant can be scrubbed clean before hitting the atmosphere. Think about it. A power plant that is stationary can have a maximum amount of emission cleaning equipment on it. An automobile on the street has very little in the way of air-purifying equipment. You wouldn't stand behind a car and breathe exhaust fumes. Then, why do we allow millions of cars to pollute our atmosphere? Electric streetcars have no emissions. It makes a lot of sense to put a lot of electric trolleys in the streets and make it super-convenient for people to take public transportation. Get rid of automobiles, put in streetcars.
