Labor History This Month I heard on the the radio that half of the country is traveling over the Labor Day Holiday weekend. Hopefully they are all coming here! (Western Mass is very nice.) We'll be open on the holiday at both stores. It is also a great time to take a look at our collection of books on the history (and continuing mission) of organized labor in the United States and beyond. One of our perennial favorites, which we have freshly in stock, is The Gritty Berkshires, which is both a people's history and a local history, a book recommended by our longtime trucking partner and literary friend, Don Wheeler.

Michael Nix: “Memory Hoard” multimedia presentation [summer@LAVA]
The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, United StatesMusician Michael Nix presents “Memory Hoard,” a multimedia presentation incorporating video, recordings, photos and readings from 1983 to 2023. “Memory Hoard” explores Nix’s wide range of creative work as a composer, guitarist, banjoist and writer. Michael Nix performs on classical guitar, Banjar, banjo and mandolin, throughout the United States and Asia; has recorded for the PBS series, “American Experience,” several independent documentaries and numerous CD projects; and his compositions are performed internationally. His music has been heard on “Weekend Edition” and other NPR programs. His new solo Banjar album of compositions and commissions, Aperçu was released on PARMA Recordings Big Round Records. A banjo innovator, Nix designed the Banjar; a modern seven nylon string banjo combining elements of the five-string banjo and classical guitar; bringing the classic finger-style banjo of the late 1800’s into the twenty-first century. His instrumentals, songs and compositions draw from classic finger style banjo and guitar, infused with folk, jazz and world music traditions. This is a free concert, funded by the Crossroads Cultural District and Mass Cultural Council (MCC). Donations are appreciated.
