These are a few from a box of documents and fanzines and such that was crushed, and so some got a bit rolled...photographed with a phone, but it's past time to get a new scanner.
This below would be one I put together, presumably for a concert Donna was organizing, using my sib Jeri's art:
A letter from Mitch Snyder of the Community for Creative Non-Violence in DC. Don Lavoie was one of the most intentionally non-Right-identified of the capitalist libertarians at the George Mason University Economics Dept., so in the event, "Anarchy at GMU", at which Don and CCNV reps among others spoke in a panel, we had a pretty wide array of what anarchism was about. Snyder and Lavoie since gone, both rather young...not kids, but depression and cancer are not our friends.
Donna and I did the radio show Sweet Freedom on Sunday nights together for about three or so years, and I kept doing it for another couple-few on my own. Early flyers we did for the show
and:
Some flyers fairly elaborate collages:
...some, particularly the handbills, pretty basic:
...and...
...but usually got the job done...
The line-up here is almost as unlikely in a punk context as CCNV and Lavoie together, but, well, charity.
And last one from this rather random and quick sample. More and some more impressively put together examples to come...not to slight these...
The assembled/listed/linked Underappreciated Music for June, as usually these days, coming a bit closer to month's end, rather than on the more or less traditional Last Thursday of the month, when many of the stalwarts have posted already...

That early Sweet Freedom flyer lists many major jazz musicians! Wow. Wouldn't that be a lineup.
ReplyDeleteWell, a hell of a festival...our fliers were drawn largely from the first few weeks' playlists of the radio show in 1990, iirc.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Cracker's song about punks growing up. Most songs of that type talk about selling out. This is celebratory of growing up and having family and a life.

Gerard, you should definitely check out Trusty's album "GOODBYE, DR. FATE" sometime:

Hi Todd. Not sure if you'll see a comment on an old post like this, but I curate the punk collections at the University of Maryland and would be glad to talk about ideas for digitizing your fliers and other DC punk materials you have. Let me know if you're interested! Thanks. - John
ReplyDeleteI do see comments on much older posts than this one...will be in touch soon.
ReplyDeleteOk, great. You can find me here: https://www.lib.umd.edu/scpa/contact. Thanks! - John
