Album Review: Jeff Picker - With the Bass in Mind
While the bass is always in Jeff Picker’s mind, With the Bass in Mind is first and foremost about collaborative music-making.
Picker, who lays down rhythm for Ricky Skaggs, Sarah Jarosz and others, wrote the 10 instrumentals that comprise his solo debut. And while he could have easily dominated the proceedings, he does not, taking only a few, short, well-placed solos.
A gregarious and accommodating frontman, Picker leaves the spotlight to his compatriots - fiddler Mark Barnett (Skaggs), mandolinist Dominick Leslie (Hawktail) and guitarist Jake Stargel (Sierra Hull), plus banjoist Cory Walker (Hull) on two numbers - as the amalgamated string band plays melody-rich jazz (“Disturbance in the Kitchen,” “Rooster in the Tire Well”), night music (“Lullaby”) and straight ’grass (“Ricky’s Run”).
The result is an instrumental LP that’s assertive enough to work as foreground music, yet unobtrusive enough to work just as well in the background.

One of those side arguments worth considering came from Judge Mark Barnett. He basically said that judges don’t create policy. Instead he noted the SD Constitution limited the judicial…

SD SBAC lawsuit revolves around the compact clause
Sauer spoke of three pillars of the compact clause. Earlier this week there was a hearing for the case against the State of South Dakota for its entry into the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). Previously I looked at the participants of this hearing. Also, about half a year ago I looked briefly at the complaint. This post will look at the compact clause and why the plaintiff’s argue…

Hughes County Courthouse. Photo by Ken Santema 4/5/16. Last November I noted the State of South Dakota is being sued by two SD taxpayers, Shelli Grinager and Amber Mauricio, for the state’s entry into the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a firm out of MI, filed the lawsuit in Hughes County on November 10, 2015. The complaint filed can be read here; and…
