Big congrats to @scbernard.bsky.social for getting special recognition from ASCAP for Bring Judgment Day! @universitypress.cambridge.org
“A special nod went to Sheila Curran Bernard for Bring Judgment Day: Reclaiming Lead Belly’s Truths from Jim Crow’s Lies, a historical reclamation that pulls no punches in unpacking the racism surrounding one of America’s greatest folk voices.” Music Connection re: 2025 ASCAP Taylor/Thomson Awards.

Hamilton Nolan—a most impressive apple falling not far from the formidable tree of his dad.

David Nolan taught me a ton about what became the passion project of my life. And, yes, you will learn a lot more about Buddy Hough in my book out next year from Cambridge University Press.
