Notes from Board President, Denise Sciandra
I became involved with Fresno State almost immediately upon
moving to Fresno in the last week of 1973. The first professor I met
was Arne Nixon. I began attending his one-unit weekend
conferences for credit toward my degree in Early Childhood
Education. These classes were so addictive that I continued taking them well
beyond the time I needed the
credit. During the course of these
classes, Nixon introduced me to the
Bluestein family.
Dr. Nixon taught in the Department
of Education. His contemporary,
Professor Gene Bluestein, taught in
the Department of English. Both
men were innovative. Arne Nixon
created the Festival of Children's
Literature and brought authors and
illustrators to campus from all over
the country. He taught his future
Arne Nixon
educators the value of good
literature as a tool for teaching literacy, an essential life skill. He even brought
in folksinger Malvina Reynolds possibly at the influence of Gene Bluestein.
Bluestein created the Artist in Residence program bringing musicians in for a
semester. His son, Evo Bluestein, says that even though his father taught
English , he felt that "music and dance and art are inseparable from life."
Bluestein created a six-week summer Folk Institute to teach autoharp, fiddle,
banjo, guitar and mandolin to students. Lynn Ross attended to learn autoharp
to use in her classroom. She says, "I heard about the class from Arne Nixon in
his literature conferences."

President’s Notes (continued)
After one year, Evo Bluestein took over the teaching of
autoharp from his father. As Evo recalls it, his father said, "Evo,
I want you to teach this class." Never mind that Evo didn't yet
play autoharp.
Arne Nixon was a sought-after storyteller. He had a deep,
melodic voice that many have tried to imitate. Gene Bluestein
and his four children played and performed folk and Old Time
music using many different instruments. Within literature,
Nixon seemed especially fond of folk tales. He came from a
Finish oral storytelling tradition. Finnish was his first language.
The Bluestein Family
Ellie Bluestein says of Arne Nixon and her husband, Gene
Bluestein, "They admired each other's work." A letter has surfaced that Bluestein wrote at Nixon's request
for a needed letter of evaluation. Bluestein wrote, "Anytime I meet someone in the field of children's
education they refer to Nixon's programs which have recruited the best and the most prestigious figures in
the fields of literature and the arts. His theory is that we ought to have the best in Fresno and he is among
the few who can actually provide it." Of Nixon's Festival of Children's Literature he says, "The annual book
fair is the capstone of a career that has had no equal in this academic community and beyond." I have no
doubt that Nixon would've written an equally glowing letter for his friend, Gene Bluestein, had he been
asked.
I admired Arne Nixon immensely. I seized the opportunity to help carry out his legacy once the Arne Nixon
Center for the Study of Children's Literature was established. In 1995, Nixon donated his collection of 22,000
children's books to the Madden Library at Fresno State with a substantial endowment to help support it. In
1999, the Founding Curator was in place and I became the first volunteer. In 2001, I was asked to be the
Founding President of the Arne Nixon Center Advocates, a position that I held until 2013 when I chose to step
down.
During my presidency, ANCA's annual fundraiser was established. It is the Secret Garden Party. The past
several years I have included Fresno Folklore Society members in this event. In April, this included FFS
women (pictured, left to
right), Susana Peckinpah, Sue
Wirt, Denise Sciandra, Ann
Lamb, and Lynnie Woodall,

Connecting literary and music
people: Wouldn't Arne and
Gene have liked that?
How fortunate Fresno State
was to have these two
beloved professors to enrich
the lives of their students.
How fortunate we all are to
still benefit from their
influence.

BOULDER CREEK MUSIC CAMPOUTS
The San Francisco Folk Music Club has a music campout over the 4 th of July and Labor Day periods and FFS folks
have been invited to participate each year. The 4th of July Music Campout will be held from July 2 through July
5 in Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains at the Boulder Creek Scout Reservation. There will be music
jams, open mics, and workshops as well as swimming, a potluck, etc. Pack your tents and rvs and your acoustic
instruments. The cost is $18.00 per night per adult and $8.00 per child. The happening will be repeated for
Labor Day weekend. For more information, check <www.sffmc.org>July 4 & labor Day Camps. (Sue Wirt)
I am writing this as a participant as well as a helper for the 2015 CAG. Last year, I was able to get autoharp picks
that would work on my gnarled fingers, bought an autoharp, and then let it sit for a year before picking it up
again. I took it back to CAG this year and managed to squeeze in some classes during the Early Bird Academy
and one in the regular session. I feel much more comfortable about picking it up and managed to accumulate
some pages of music with chord progressions for various songs so I can practice on my own. Maybe I will even
play with some other people.
One of the people that I met in classes was a woman who recently moved to Clovis from Utah. Her parents had
purchased an autoharp in Japan in the 80's and she decided to learn to play it. She did some online research
about autoharps and CAG popped up on her screen. She attended as many classes as she could and was asked
to help support some other players at one of the open mic sessions. I had told her about Wednesday night at
The Santa Fe Basque. She was there, with her autoharp, this past week and we hope to see her back again.
Also in attendance were the Gillingham girls, students of Evo Bluestein, who blew everyone away with their
performance at the open mic. They have been coming to The Santa Fe Basque most Wednesdays for a few
months and it was a delight to have them around for several days in a row. What a good week it was. Although
there was some chill and rain and a little “breeze” now and then, the weather cooperated (mostly). Ronny Cox
was one of the headliners and it was really nice to see him again (he performed for FFS at a concert a couple of
years ago at Frank's Place). He is mostly known as an actor, but has been a folk singer-songwriter for many
years.
The instructors that Mike Mueller lines up each year are exceptional, and this year was just as good. Really like
the t-shirts this year, also, Mike. Thank you to Sherron Brown and Ann Lamb for running a registration desk
that meets the needs of everyone, including snacks. Steve Ono and Chris Roach took very good care of
everyone who performed, doing stage and sound so that they could all be comfortable and heard. Kevin Hill ran
the open mic periods, kept us laughing while changing acts. Louise Mueller handled the merchandise tables so
that the staff could sell their cds books, and videos.
I know that Mike Mueller is taking a few days of rest and relaxation, or as much as you can while working full
time. Then he will be back planning next year's gathering and we will all wait with baited breath for it to show
up on our computers so we can register for another fabulous week next May. Thank you for a really good time,
Mike. (Sue Wirt)
Hi, I’m Lynn Ross, of “Lynn’s Jam”, where I make and sell jam to help musicians in many ways.
Our Founder
T’was a dark and stormy night, a long time ago, when the phone rang at our house. It was Ellie Bluestein wondering if
we could house a musician for a few days. She knew that our kids were out of the house - at college or married, so we
had room. It was raining when we met the train that Bodie Wagner was on. He was sick with a cold and needed a
place to stay and recover. Bodie stayed with us for 3 years, through his courting period.
We got to enjoy hearing Bodie making up his songs and playing his music and other’s music too. He had
other musicians over to rehearse for the few gigs that they had.
I was teaching kindergarten and arranged for the parents club to sponsor Bodie doing a kids concert for K – 3rd
Grade, then come into my classroom to teach songwriting. He put on a great concert. The kids loved him and his kid
songs: “Halloween” was a big hit. When he talked about writing songs, some of the kids really got into it. The next
day at school one of the boys brought in a song he wrote and he sang it for us. That “Boy” is now an adult teaching
music to High Schoolers.
Bodie was the first musician we housed. Many more have stayed with us after giving a concert, and a number
have returned several times and call our place their Fresno Home. However, none stayed as long as Bodie, but we love
them all! June’s Jams are Berries and Cherry
Jim and Lynn Ross are celebrating their 80th Birthdays and 60th Wedding anniversary year with a Fresno
Folkore Society and friends potluck on June 27, 2015 from 5:00 to 10:00. The party will feature
Swimming, Belly Dancing by Stephanie, Called Dancing with music by the FFS Players, Swing Dancing
with music supplied by “Scats on the Sly”, and a Concert organized by Steve
Ono, featuring the talented Fresno Folklore Folks. We’ll have time for jamming, so bring your
swimsuit, and towel, instruments, a chair, some food to share, and your dancing shoes, for a
great time! Lynn’s Jam will be available for purchase to help our musicians.
Come one, come all to help Jim and Lynn in their great celebration, to be held at their
daughter and Son-in law, Kelly and Tim Olday’s back yard in Clovis at 9332 E. Mesa, Clovis,
93619. Signs will direct you to parking in their back lot. Please enter through the side gate to their yard. Get in touch
with Steve Ono at [email protected] to play a song or two on the concert schedule. (Jim Ross)

FFS MEMBERS PERFORM AT BLUEGRASS IN THE PARK, 2015
I went to Bluegrass In The Park on Friday, May 22, with my mother and saw many of the same people who
come out for this event every summer. The schedule is now available on Facebook and shown below. It looks
good for a summer of excellent music in the comfort of your own lawn chairs and blankets. We even get
some entertainment from children who dance and some adults who dance as well. If you do not bring your
own chairs, there are some folding ones provided by the Clovis Senior Center who also let the attendees use
their restrooms. Bring your dinner or go over to Clovis Farmers' Market and pick up stuff, and enjoy the
evenings. You might also bring a hat and a hand fan, which you might need, depending upon where you sit.
Times are 6:30 to 8:30 pm and the event is free. You might bring some cash to put in the “tip jar” and/or
purchase cds that show up with some of the bands. Check them out on Facebook for more information. The
event is sponsored by the California Bluegrass Association. (Sue Wirt)

A BENEFIT FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS
SUGGESTED DONATION $15
SUN., JUNE 21 at the WOLK GARDEN 6:00PM
POTLUCK FROM 5-6:30
SWIMMING ANYONE?
BID AT THE SILENT AUCTION
The CONCERT will begin with some of our terrific young musicians. The Gillingham girls (two
sets of twins) and Sam Cunningham will get us started. They are all students of Evo Bluestein
and musicians for the local English Country Dances.
Next, we will listen to the keyboard expert, Nate Butler, followed by
our lovely bellydancer, Stephanie Akers. Then, our blues man, Glen
Delpit, will give us some of his tasty Louisiana-flavored renditions.
Next, we will hear a combination of fabulous musicians: Steve Ono, Eva
Scow, Kevin Hill and others. None better.
Announcements for the winners of the Silent Auction-will that winner
be you? We will end the evening listening to Scats on the Sly. Swing,
40's standards and jazz vocals. Sue Beevers was a valued member of
this band for many years, as a fiddle player and singer.
ALL THESE FOLKS (and the Sound Engineers) ARE VOLUNTEERING THEIR EXPERTISE to support
the next generation of musicians and dancers. Please join them in this wonderful effort.
Speaking of volunteering, we will need help, starting at 2 PM and continuing throughout to manage the food situation
and the ongoing cleanup, as well as setting up our shady Shama Yama. More work at the end of the concert, moving
chairs and collecting the items left behind-we call them Potluck Orphans. The Shama Yama will probably come down
the next day. If you can help, please call Sherron Brown (323-9298).

Grammy-nominated artists (for their 1995 album The Oak and the Laurel) are widely regarded as
among the leading lights of modern bluegrass and are highly-prized by their peers as sidemen and
producers.
International Bluegrass Music Association executive director Dan Hays calls Laurie “one of the
preeminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time.” Acclaimed musician Sam Bush puts it more
simply, calling her “a great singer, terrific fiddle player, fine songwriter, and one very good band
leader.” Laurie also performed on both the Grammy-award winning, 1997 IBMA album of the year True
Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe, and the Grammy-nominated Ralph Stanley & Friends’ release
