Pay Me My Money Down
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A work song, "Pay Me My Money Down" originated among the Negro stevedores working in the Georgia Sea Islands. It was collected by Lydia Parrish and published in her 1942 book, Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands:[1] Pay me, Oh pay me, Pay me my money down. Pay me or go to jail, Pay me my money down.

The melody is much older and used in other songs, [2] and the sentiment, even older.[3]

Also known as "Pay Me" or "Pay Me, You Owe Me", it was performed by The Weavers during their influential 1955 Carnegie Hall concerts. It was further popularized by The Kingston Trio in 1958. Dan Zanes performed a children's version done calypso-style on his popular 2002 album Night Time.

"Pay Me My Money Down" was the first single and video released from Bruce Springsteen's 2006 big band folk album, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. It was one of the most popular played on Springsteen's subsequent Seeger Sessions Band Tour, where it usually closed out the main set amidst much on-stage hijinks and repetitions. On June 23, 2006, near the end of the American leg of that tour, Springsteen performed the song on Late Night with Conan O'Brien with his band, along with host Conan O'Brien and guests Thomas Haden Church and Jimmy Fallon.

What is BJG? "B" for Bluegrass, "J" for Jazz, "G" for Gospel

Una band per il sociale
Che significa?
Le finalità sociali in senso lato sono tre:
1) distribuire la felicità tramite la musica;
2) far conoscere ai giovani le radici di molta musica d'oggi: bluegrass, jazz, gospel;
3) raccogliere fondi per le finalità della Fondazione.

L'idea è nata assistendo ai concerti di Bruce Springsteen in occasione della tournée firmata "Seeger Sessions".
L'organico musicale è quindi quello: ritmica, fiati, strumenti a corde. Attraverso questo interessante modello di contaminazione si è proseguito però per una strada autonoma, attingendo in modo ampio alle radici del blues, del jazz, del bluegrass, del country-rock... e non solo, con arrangiamenti originali che beneficiano, nell'esecuzione, dei migliori musicisti di questi generi presenti oggi sulla scena musicale italiana.
