Welcome to Frank Edwin's 4/3/2022 Salad🥗Bar 101 weekly inclusive feast where we invite you to Chow Down on a fresh variety of tasty musical artist cuisine. Romaine Calm - Turnip the Beet - Find Inner Peas.
The 101 has just a small sampling of the artists worldwide that have music we enjoy sharing. We literally can't keep up with the number of new songs released weekly and new to us artists we are discovering on a daily basis from a plethora of sources.
There are currently over 150 songs waiting to debut on the chart. To facilitate the opportunity of having more songs join the buffet we are delighted to give 6 songs each week the special designation of #1 Salad🥗Song.
#1 Salad🥗Song: Lilli Lewis - My American Heart
As the story goes, Powerhouse New Orleans singer-songwriter / pianist / activist Lilli Lewis should never have been. Before she was born, Lewis’ mother was told her baby probably wouldn’t survive due to lung trouble, so the fact that Lewis now makes a living singing with those same lungs is a gift she never takes for granted. Lewis uses her voice to bring what she calls sacred songs into profane spaces, and though she’s abandoned trying to define her sound, she hopes her audiences leave shows knowing two things: that they are brilliant as they are, and that they have the ability to use that brilliance to make a better world.
Trained as an opera singer and classical pianist...Lilli Lewis has been a composer, producer and performer for over two decades. After carving out space as an African-American lesbian of size, Lewis is lending her voice to the industry’s need to diversify, as quoted in panels from Billboard to Rolling Stone.
It is a pleasure to give Lilli her 2nd Salad🥗Bowl as “My American Heart” is given the special designation as a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 10th week on the chart.
She shares, “At around 4 a.m. on May 18, 2020, I woke up with a lyric fully formed and ready to roll out of me. I stealthily reached for my phone, trying hard not to wake my peacefully sleeping wife, and transcribed the stream of consciousness coming through, too sleepy to manipulate it. I figured if it wanted to be a song, it would let me know at some later date.”

linktr.ee/folkrockdiva#1 Salad🥗Song: Grace Petrie - Storm to Weather
“There's a storm here to weather, the thunder's coming near
Louder than ever and we don't know where to steer
And though we can't be together, no matter what my dear
I will love you forever and we will dance again next year”
We congratulate Grace on her 2nd Salad🥗Bowl in honour of “Storm To Weather” being given the designation of a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 10th week on the chart.
Petrie explains what’s behind the song, “Storm to Weather is meant as a message of hope and solidarity from the midst of chaos and separation. The big band feeling is supposed to speak of the better days ahead when gigs and hugs and dancing will return. In a time so marked by loneliness and uncertainty, I found enormous comfort in singing this chorus, especially the lockdown mantra, “We will dance again next year”… With a planet in crisis, a government hellbent on ever-harsher anti-immigration legislation and with protest itself on the verge of outlaw, the need for speaking out and for the music of solidarity has never felt more urgent.”

getinherears.com/2021/08/13/interview-grace-petrie/#1 Salad🥗Song: Rufus Wainwright - Secret Sister (ACLU Gala Musical Performance)
In 1960s Los Angeles a trailblazing group of nuns, The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, bravely stood up to the patriarchy of the Catholic Church, fighting for equality, their livelihoods, and their own freedom against an all-powerful Cardinal who sought to keep them in their place. Their bold acts of faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside down, helping to reshape our society in ways that continue to resonate today. From marching in Selma in 1965 to the Women’s March in 2018, they challenged the notion of what a nun and a woman were supposed to be.
These unlikely resistance fighters, including Anita Caspary, Helen Kelley, Pat Reif and iconic pop artist Corita Kent, were devoted to a life of service, not only to others but to themselves - forming a community that empowered each sister to live up to their fullest potential. Their desire to bring the church into modern life was met with forceful opposition at every turn. As each of them discovered their own talents and voices, they fully stepped into their roles as leaders in a movement that is still making waves.
From the time he was a kid, Rufus Wainwright was vaguely aware of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart, a group of a few hundred nuns who defied the conservative archdiocese of Los Angeles in the 1960s in order to work for progressive causes. Wainwright’s mother, singer Kate McGarrigle, had been traumatized by the strict Catholic nuns she encountered growing up in Montreal, but his grandfather’s second wife grew up in L.A. and spoke glowingly of the nuns who had taught her in school there.
“It was an interesting juxtaposition that started when I was very young,” said Wainwright, who wrote the song “Secret Sister” for “Rebel Hearts,” Pedro Kos’ documentary about the Immaculate Heart sisters and the ideological battle they waged from their school of the same name in Hollywood. “To finally write this song, it felt like I’d finished some sort of cycle.”
Once Wainwright watched footage from the documentary and agreed to do a song for the end credits, he quickly hit on a melody that was floating around his head. “I knew I had to write a song about this place and these people,” he said. “I would drive by the school often, and also drive down Hollywood Boulevard, which is a bit of a show in terms of the homeless situation and addiction and poverty and destitution. So this vision started to emerge of the sisters walking through the gates and going into the streets to do their duty.”
In other words, he said, the song came as much from what’s happening now than what was taking place in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when most of the film takes place. “I was very much writing about today,” he said. “And I think that’s part of their ethos and their whole philosophy, to be current and in the world today. And they were fighting against this kind of medieval view of what nuns should be, which was basically contemplative quiet slaves.”
As if to take his own stand against those medieval views, “Secret Sister” is also slinkier than you might expect from a song about nuns, with a lilting South American beat. “Brazil’s a pretty Catholic country and the pope is from Argentina, you know?” he said. “The fact that the song sounds South American is a good way to promote it. I’d say it’s a seductive call to go out and be a part of humanity.”
He shrugged. “I mean, you don’t bring up sex and nuns in the same breath often, but I think there’s a certain, how should I say it, humanity in the act of opening up and being generous. Nuns love, and they know what they’re doing and we don’t, so let’s all have some fun.”
And it’s also a call, he thinks, that reverberates with the specific circumstances in which it was composed. “This was written during COVID,” he said. “And during a time when we all felt like nuns a little bit, sequestered in our cloisters. There was a lot of praying going on and a lot of fear mixed with rest. And so in terms of lyrics and images, I think the nun-isms were actually really apropos for the time. By Steve Pond for The Wrap
In his 9th week on the chart we are delighted to give Rufus his 2nd Salad🥗Bowl in honour of “Secret Sister” becoming a #1 Salad🥗Song.

rufuswainwright.com/#1 Salad🥗Song: Pierré André - La couleur de ma peau
In his 11th week on the chart French musician Pierre-André tops the Salad🥗Bar 101 for the first time with “La couleur de ma peau.”Congratulations on your #1 Salad🥗Song.
Pierré shares, “”The Color of My Skin” is inspired by an episode in the life of Nat King Cole. In 1948, Nat King Cole bought a house in the beautiful Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The residents then let him know that they don't want “unwanted” people. Nat King Cole replies, “Me neither. And if I see anyone undesirable around here, I'll be the first to complain.””

It is a joy to welcome Arkansas/Texas four-piece rustic roots powerhouse Sad Daddy to the pinnacle of the Salad🥗Bar 101 as “Arkansas Bound” becomes a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 8th week on the chart.
"'Arkansas Bound' was inspired by living in the big city and longing to go back to a slower pace of life in the country, surrounded by nature," band bassist Melissa Carper, who wrote and sings lead on the track, explained to The Bluegrass Situation. "I was making a lot of trips from Austin, Texas, back to Arkansas at the time and once I would hit those winding country roads in the Ozark Mountains, a sense of relief would come over me. I've been drawn to cities to find the inspiration of various music communities but I really have never loved living in a city. I have spent a good deal of time in and around Eureka Springs, Arkansas, which is a tiny town in Northwest Arkansas, in the Ozarks. There is something about the country there that keeps drawing me back in."
… Since 2010, Sad Daddy has traveled down many a road--together and separately--at times focusing on their solo projects and then reuniting for a band project. The four members, Brian Martin, Joe Sundell, Rebecca Patek, and Melissa Carper, all conspired and united in the sudden spare time of 2020 to create their third album, Way Up in the Hills…
Unique to Sad Daddy, all of the members sing lead and write original tunes--the convergence of influences and interpretation of feeling into sound is a stylistic blend of the very best elements of American Roots Music. From the sounds of early blues, jazz, and jug bands to early country, folk, old-time, bluegrass, soul, and funk, they combine many influences, creating an indefinable genre of their own. by Michael Major for Broadway World
