Hoopers Madhouse

i bought a lot of 78s as i sometimes do. occasionally i find a transcription disc. this one is the best ever. it’s recorded to a federal perma disk. these supporter up warmly. scads “unreleased” recording of the ink spots, the mills brothers, al jolsen and louie armstrong came off these . it’s a culture home but it’s in the format of a radio show titled “hooper’s madhouse” it was recorded july 24th 1944. the recording engineer is “r. hooper” and probably also the host. he says he broadcasting to california.. where i assume this was mailed. my only other trace other than family names is that the matriarch “evelyn” says warshing instead of washing. it’s not strong, but it’s there. clearly mid-western. but she also says y’all. he has a decent intro and nonetheless a pretty good singing voice. i struggled a bit with side a and there are a couple un-unobstructed skips in the first few seconds it clears up. i also included thsi non-contiguous section of him fumbling with the party at the end of side a. side b has much better tracking in my rip.

Commentary: Immigrants melting into the pot as usual

SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) — On the question of whether recent immigrants assimilate as quickly as previous waves, many Americans exhibit short fuses — and even shorter memories.

They have convinced themselves that, instead of adapting to the customs of this country, new arrivals — most of whom come from Asia or Latin America — expect the rest of us to accommodate them. They go ballistic over little things — Mexican flags, taco trucks, libraries that offer bilingual story time, or having to press one for English.

Yet, even as they look down on new immigrants, many Americans look back fondly upon their immigrant ancestors. Legend has it that when grandpa arrived from Ireland, Germany, Italy or Poland, he jumped off the boat, immediately draped himself in the American flag, ripped out his native tongue, and abandoned his culture — all while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy. Germans did not move to Milwaukee and make beer and cheese. The Irish did not settle in Boston and join organizations like the Hibernian Society to preserve their heritage and culture.

And even while Americans complain about how the current crop of immigrants aren’t like their predecessors, they miss the irony: At the time, there were people who said the same thing about their ancestors; the Germans were thought to not be like the English, the Irish weren’t like the Germans, the Italians weren’t like the Irish etc. And the Chinese weren’t like anyone who had come before them, and so they were labeled unassimilable by the Tom Tancredos of that era.

Some things never change. When I was growing up in Central California, which is home to a large population of immigrants from Southeast Asia, thousands would gather to celebrate Hmong New Year. The local newspaper would do a feature. And, in the days that followed, someone would write an angry letter to the editor complaining that these people weren’t melting into the pot.

Yet, there is more melting going on than one might think, according to a new report from the Manhattan Institute. Billed as the first annual Index of Immigrant Assimilation, the study was written by Duke University Professor Jacob Vigdor. It measured three kinds of assimilation: economic (employment, education, homeownership, etc.); cultural (intermarriage, English proficiency, family size, etc.); and civic (citizenship, military service, political participation, etc.). Far from discovering that recent immigrants are ducking the assimilation process, the study found that immigrants of the past quarter-century have assimilated more rapidly than their counterparts of a century ago, even though they are more distinct from the native population upon arrival.

Tons of salmon saved from volcanic fate

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — First they saved the people. Then they rescued the dogs and cats. Finally they went in for the fish — 6,000 tons of them — threatened by a volcanic eruption in southern Chile.

Some 600,000 salmon were being moved by boats Tuesday from a fish farm just eight miles (13 kilometers) from the Chaiten volcano, according to Carlos Odebret, a spokesman for Salmon Chile, the association of private salmon industries.

He said that farm was the last of several to be evacuated because officials recently reduced the size of the prohibited-entry zone around the volcano, making it accessible again to workers.

The volcano began erupting on May 2, spewing vast columns of ash and gas that spread across South America from the Pacific to the Atlantic and beyond. Watch huge cloud of ash boil out of volcano

All 4,500 residents of the town of Chaiten were evacuated soon after the eruption began and the future of the town is now uncertain. It has been flooded by a river that overflowed its banks, damaging scores of houses, and it has been coated in ash.

Authorities rescued hundreds of pets eight days after the eruption and removed thousands of heads of livestock, and then authorized the removal of the salmon.

Somali pirates hold Dutch firm’s crew hostage

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch shipping company was negotiating with Somali pirates Tuesday, seeking the release of nine crew members on a freighter that was hijacked in the latest attack on merchant shipping off the coast of Somalia.

Lars Walder, spokesman for the ship’s owner Reider Shipping BV, said his company was in contact with the hijackers and as far as we know none of the crew has been injured or worse.

The crew were four Russians and five Filipinos, he said.

The ship, the MV Amiya Scan, is chartered by a Danish company, Scan-Trans Shipping, and sails under a Panamanian flag of convenience. It departed Kenya on May 19 on its way to Romania and was hijacked Sunday in the Gulf of Aden.

Its cargo was a decommissioned oil platform.

Walder said his company, based in the far northern town of Winschoten, Netherlands, would not comment on the pirates’ demands out of concern for the safety of the crew.

The Amiya Scan was the sixth ship hijacked by Somali pirates in two months, said the Commercial Crimes Services of the International Maritime Bureau. Since Jan. 1, 24 ships have been hijacked in the Gulf of Aden, compared with 44 for all of last year.
