Music at The Mansion: Mandolin Orange

[@nualchemy]

Your music has accompanied me through deep and expansive loss - my wife died. Shortly after her passing I found your music and felt that Mary was gifting you to me and thank you for that. Here I am 6 years later and still follow you and find your melodies and lyrics really speak to my spirit. Living now in Montana and there is something special about the way your music almost makes this landscape and the wildness that is western Montana, come alive in a new way. Thank you, maybe someday you'll make your way to Montana to sing and inspire and minister.

[@mattmcgriff5952]

Sadness is as much a part of our life experience as joy, happiness, etc. Revel in your sadness, we all have to live it. Sorry for your loss and glad this music touches you. I really first heard Golden Embers just after my sister in law died. Definitely speaks to the emotion of the moment. Beautiful music.

[@adambozentko5877]

I'm late to this post, just saw it.. Your post made me be grateful for what I do still have.. Lost my wife also, South Dakotas air seems to like this band also.. Its very fitting and uplifting and just great in so many ways.. Life is hard. Small things like this make it almost seem bareable.. Great post, thank you..!..

A cold early autumn day in England; the heart of Hampshire and I've stopped my work for a rest. The house is quiet, but by a magical coincidence I come across these guys and once locked into their soft harmonies, I'm taken across the Atlantic to North Carolina and nothing tells me more about the place, the people, the atmosphere in that room than Mandolin Orange. For half an hour, I am totally transported.

[@michaelroth7574]

I'd heard "Wildfire" a few times, including at a live show in L.A. this year and it moved me deeply, and that was before I read the words and really got it. Once of the best songs about racism ever. These folks are extraordinary.

[@koltoncrane3099]

Michael the song isn’t just about racism. Only a small portion of the south owned slaves. Look at Lincoln. He wanted to just deport all blacks. The north was just as racist towards blacks. The real issue was the south was paying 75% of federal taxes. The civil war was really about state’s rights vs a massive federal government. Now we have the largest federal government in history with the most amount of debt ever in worlds history more than any country or empire to exist. We have like 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities like Medicare and social security. And by 2035 some old people aren’t going to be getting checks because the government causing inflation is destroying social securities assets which is only debt. Wildfire is a good song, but the civil war wasn’t about slavery at first. Lincoln only freed the slaves to ensure he won the war. Be interesting to see if the US has massive inflation or we default.

[@colinkelley6493]

@@koltoncrane3099 I think you are right about what the Civil War was really about when it started, but Ulysis S Grant retired for awhile and was called back into the military during the Civil War. In the inbetween he inherited or was given a farm by family somewhere in the midwest and with the farm came a bunch of slaves. He immediately set them free, helped them with their paperwork and helped them get established, no strings attached. He paid some of their expenses out of pocket for awhile. His family disowned him and took the farm back. During the war, when his forces captured an area, with slaves, he invited them to lunch, he made sure their paperwork was correct, made sure they became freed Americans, and then gave them jobs in the military helping with logistics and with adjusting to being free. He told them, if anyone gave them any trouble, to let him know personally, and he meant it. He did it because it was the right thing to do, but the the black community was and is tight and the black vote pretty much everywhere pushed him over the top to win the Presidential election. Everyone, including he himself was surprised. At that time the black community was pretty much 100% Republican. The Southern Democrats invented the Jim Crow chain gangs. Hillary's mentor, Senator Byrd was a KKK grand poopah until the day he died. Hillary herself is a racist.

I suppose you could glean that from the song. There is a bigger message than that to enjoy. Let’s dwell on your ideology though… Isn’t it weird how only the southern USA was enslaving people? All across the world, everybody was so pure, caring and loving. Those folks down south were ALL so hateful and the ONLY recipients of those folks that the tribes caught and sold from Africa (primarily). And what did it do for them? Nothing! Right? It wasn’t good for the following generations of the enslaved. It wasn’t good for the cultivation of the nation. Man… if only they could have learned from the altruistic Northerners and every other kind, pure soul around the world.

Just wonderful. Natural. Uncomplicated. Relaxing but still exciting. Draws me in and puts a smile on my face :)

They are the best I’ve ever heard, and I’ve see and heard so many over many years and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play live in October 2022.

This is wonderful musical art that I do not grow tired of time after time. I am grateful to the North Carolina government and Governor Cooper for hosting these delightful musicians.

To finish with Wildfire in NC's executive mansion!
