    Notes

    • Do yourself a favor and read Frances Hamerstrom's autobiography, My Double Life: Memoirs of a Naturalist.

    • Do your kids a favor and Jeannine Atkins take on Frances in her book Girls Who Looked Under Rocks.

    • And then watch Frances teach David Letterman how to cook a snake.

    Episode 79: Artist in Landscape Jul 22, 2023
    Show notes

    This show is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.

    This episode was originally released in November, 2015.

    Music
    * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score.
    * They first meet to a piece called Brouillard (version 1) from Georges Delaure’s extraordinary score to Jules et Jim. (A second version comes in later when J.J. Audubon is living the high life in England).
    * We also hear Waltz by Mother Falcon.
    * I go back to the Marcelo Zarvos/Please Give well when the Scotsman arrives at their store. Note: it’s the go-to soundtrack for “People Arriving at One’s Store With A Life Changing Proposition” here at the Memory Palace. Also: go watch Please Give.
    * The little piano piece is from Nathan Johnson’s score to The Day I Saw Your Heart.
    * Lucy and John titter like plovers to Andrew Cyrille’s dope, skittering drums on Nuba 1.
    * The especially sad bit, right before the end is Dream 3 (in the Midst of my Life), from Max Richter’s giant, From Sleep album.
    * A couple times, including the ending, we hear “the Lark Ascending” from Ralph Vaughn Willliams. It is beautiful. You should buy it.

    Notes
    As per usual, I read a lot about the Audubons and the Bakewells.
    I relied most upon the charming and smart, On the Road with John James Audubon by Mary Durant, and Carolyn DeLatte’s lovely, thoughtful book, Lucy Audubon: a Biography.
    * Just a quick note: there’s a very enjoyable PBS/American Masters/Nature documentary about Audubon. It’s a fun and informative watch. But, I’ll say, you come out of that thinking that things were fundamentally swell between Lucy and John in a way that I’m not entirely sure is supported by the facts. Or jibes with, you know, human nature.

    Episode 90: A White Horse Jun 12, 2023
    Show notes

    The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX. Radiotopia is a collective of independently owned and operated podcasts that’s a part of PRX, a not-for-profit public media company. If you’d like to directly support this show and independent media, you can make a donation at Radiotopia.fm/donate.

    This episode was originally released in 2016 in the days after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. It is re-released every year on the anniversary of the incident.

    A note on notes: We’d much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don’t suggest looking into the show notes first.

    Notes and Reading:
    * Most of the specific history of the White Horse was learned from "Sanctuary: the Inside Story of the Nation's Second Oldest Gay Bar" by David Olson, reprinted in its entirety on the White Horse's website.
    * "Gayola: Police Professionalization and the Politics of San Francisco's Gay Bars, 1950-1968," by Christopher Agee.
    * June Thomas' series on the past, present, and future of the gay bar from Slate a few years back.
    * Various articles written on the occasion of the White Horse's 80th anniversary, including this one from SFGATE.Com
    * Michael Bronski's A Queer History of the United States.
    * Radically Gay, a collection of Harry Hay's writing.
    * Incidentally, I watched this interview with Harry Hay from 1996 about gay life in SF in the 30's multiple times because it's amazing.

    Music
    * We start with Water in Your Hands by Tommy Guerrero.
    * Hit Anne Muller's Walzer fur Robert a couple of times.
    * Gaussian Curve does Talk to the Church.
    * We get a loop of Updraught from Zoe Keating.
    * We finish on Transient Life in Twilight by James Blackshaw
