History Short (tbh this one is kinda long ngl) # 3: Josh White and McCarthyism
Tumblr media
Howdy folks, in this installment of "History Shorts" I'll be discussing one of my favorite guitarists of the folk revival era. The supremely underrated Josh White.
Biography:
Born in Greenville, South Carolina on February 11, 1914, Josh started singing in his church choir at the age of five. While a standard upbringing for the time, it would not last long. Josh's father would throw a white bill collector out of his house in 1921 for spitting on their floor and would be beaten nearly to death. He would then be imprisoned in a mental institution where he would die. Josh would leave his home and travel with a local street singer named "Blind Man Arnold" two months after this. Josh would lead Arnold around the south while collecting coins from his performances and Arnold would send two dollars ( 31 dollars now) to Josh's mother. Eventually Josh would learn to dance, sing and play the tambourine and have his services rented to other blind singers such as Blind Blake and Blind Joe Taggart. These singers would keep Josh shoeless and generally disheveled to attract sympathy from onlookers. The look of poverty wasnt far off from Josh's reality in which he slept in cotton fields and horse stables on an empty stomach. From these musicians he learned to play guitar in their respective styles and his skill was finally recognized when he became a session guitarist for "Paramount Records" in 1927. Still, all his recording money was sent to Taggart and Arnold until producer Mayo Williams threatened to have Taggart arrested for indentured servitude. Mayo Williams started his own record label and Josh was finally being paid what he was worth. He recorded prolifically in Chicago before returning to South Carolina to help his mother take care of his siblings.
Rise to Prominence:
In 1928, A&Rs from ARC Records in New York convinced Josh mother to sign a contract for the underaged Josh under the condition that he would only record religious music. Josh White "the singing christian" would record religious music but "Pinewood Tom" or "Tippy Barton would record blues songs. Things were going very for Josh. He was recording with blues legends such as Leroy Carr, Scrapper Blackwell, and Lucille Bogan. But in 1936, he would contract gangrene in his left hand after punching through a glass door during a bar fight. Doctors recommended amputation but Josh refused instead opting to squeeze a rubber ball to try to regain feeling in his hand. Forced to retire due to injury, Josh would work as a dock worker until regaining feeling in his hand and starting to perform again at private parties in Harlem. At one of these parties, he was spotted by broadway director Leonard De Paur. De Puar had been searching a guitarist to play the role of Blind Lemon in his latest production, "John Henry." Coincidentally De Paur had been searching for "Pinewood Tom" or Josh White to play the role. The resulting fame of this performance would give Josh a working relationship with Paul Robeson, Woody Guthrie, Lead belly and many others. The most controversial of these collaborators would be Libby Holman. Not only was Libby white, she allegedly killed her husband in 1932. The duo would tour previously segregated venues and were even recommended to give an overseas concert for the troops by Eleanor Roosevelt but were deemed too controversial due to the fact that the armed forces were still segregated. In 1940, Josh and the Golden Gate Quartet would perform at the Library of Congress's Coolidge Auditorium to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the thirteenth amendment. One month later, they would perform at FDR's inauguration. This was a turning point in Josh's career. He was no longer a young up and comer. He was a national icon as an artist that appealed to both black and white audiences. In the 1940s he record his biggest hit "One Meatball." It became the first million selling record by an African American man.
Fall from Grace:
Not only did Josh record pop hits such as "Jelly Jelly" and "St. James infirmary," he recorded political songs that spoke on the rampant segregation in the military and around America. Songs such as "Bad Housing Blues" and "Jim Crow Train" were forced upon southern white radio stations and met with outrage. This outrage got the attention of FDR who asked white to give a command performance. After the performance, Josh would have a discussion about the segregation and music. By 1950, Josh had reached the peak of his career. Touring Europe, acting on Broadway and starring in two films. However in June, while on tour in Paris his manager notified him that a right wing propaganda network had labeled him a communist sympathizer. He immidiately turned to Eleanor Roosevelt to help but it was a fruitless endeavor as Eleanor was already under suspicion due to her friendships with non whites. That night he told his manager he would be returning home to clear his name. After being accosted by the FBI, he would have to appear in front of the "HUAC" or be arrested like others who refused to testify. It was a no win situation for Josh. Josh's political activism was motivated not by communism but by his tough upbringing and early life but his progressive fan base assumed that he had snitched on communists ( he hadn't) and anti communist Americans assumed he was a communist (he wasn't). It also did not help that he vocally disagreed with Paul Robeson's statement that Black Americans would not be willing to fight against Soviet Russia and he disagreed with the implication that Paul Robeson spoke for all black people. All of these factors would cause work to dry up for Josh in America. His recording contract was dropped and he was not allowed to appear on TV until 1963. Unwelcome among left leaning folk circles as well, he relocated to London.
My Guitar Is As Old As Father Time:
In London, he hosted a BBC radio show called "My Guitar Is As Old As Father Time" and continued to tour around Europe to much success. In 1955, he got the opportunity to record in America again when Jac Holzman helped him record "Josh White: 25th Anniversary Album" which helped establish "Elektra Records". Slowly, Josh was finding a new audience in America. He also helped create the first instructional blues guitar book. His television blacklist ended in 1963 when JFK invited him to appear on "Dinner With The President." He also performed at the March on Washington on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. His health began to fail him in the 60s as he was diagnosed with progressive emphysema and a calcium deficiency. His heart had also weakened and the only option was surgery to replace the valves but the surgery failed and he would pass away on September 5th 1969. His legacy lives on in his influence on many artist such as Eartha Kitt and Bob Dylan. Additionally he was the first African American to have a signature guitar.
The most important thing: The quote that I think Josh White should be remembered for is the following :“As long as my voice and spirit hold out, I shall keep on singing of the hope, joys and grievances of  ordinary folk.”

I have very mixed opinions on him so far, but a standout moment for me in season 1 for some reason is when Vane shuts some rude ass guy up for Eleanor and all he did to do so was say his own name.

“What do you want?” to eleanor from anne
4 word sentence starters: accepting!
There was a visible hostility between the two women - a sharpness that could have cut the air in the room.
Neither of them went through the trouble of concealing it. 
As far as Eleanor knew of Anne Bonny, this was a woman who carried a knife as if it were an extension of her body, one who was easily prompted into putting it to use and might have stabbed every man and woman in Nassau if her partner wasn’t always by her side to subdue her impulses. 
None of this made Eleanor more amenable in handling the business she had come to discuss. As usual, the brothel had clients aplenty climbing and descending the stairs, and the air was filled with a familiar combination of alcohol, men’s sweat and the cheap perfumes shared by the whores.   
“I give a captain a lead”, she started without ceremony, “then, shortly after one of his frequent visits to this brothel, this information is somehow obtained by another captain, who in turns brings 50 barrels of cargo all stained in blood for consignment”. With those words, a sardonic smile grew on her lips. Eleanor leaned against her chair, arms wide, her fingers laced together as she eyed her interlocutor. “Any idea how that might have happened?”

Black Sails Ladies Meme  ➡ Favorite episode
You are the bravest person I have ever known. The truest person I have ever known. And I betrayed you and it sickens me. I am so sorry for working so hard to protect the wrong things. For failing to see that there is nothing important that does not include you.
