A statement from Clare:  “This piece was originally created at a time when I felt very unsure of myself and what my next steps in life would be. I kept wishing that I could find a bit of the blind courage that I used to have as a child.  Especially during this time, the world can feel like a scary place, and it can be hard to find some stable ground to stand on. I hope this piece can remind everyone of their inner badass that they had as a kid, and that even if you find yourself on the ground, with just a little bit more courage, you can stand up again.” Clare Donaldson is an actress and wannabe writer who recently graduated from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama majoring in BA Acting Honors. Although relatively new to writing, she first discovered her passion for it whilst at university where she wrote her very first play. She grew up in Dallas, Texas, but currently lives in London where she continues to pursue her goals in acting.  Instagram: @theducky_donaldson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created during a time of quarantine in the global Coronavirus pandemic, A Moment Of Your Time’s mission is to provide a space for expression, collaboration, community and solidarity.

44 - "The Day I Learned How To Ride A Bike" by Clare Donaldson

The last few decades has seen a turn toward traditional forms of American music; call it Americana, alternative country, or a new folk revival. In “I Hear America Singing”: Folk Music and National Identity (Temple University Press, 2014), Rachel Clare Donaldson, an independent scholar based in Baltimore, offers a history of the first folk revival, tracing it from the early twentieth century into the 1970s.A historian by training, Donaldson brings together a history of folk music and performers such as Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan, a comprehensive understanding of U.S. political and social history, and the various strains of the American Left. Throughout, she traces the history of an idea, an inclusive and open image of what it means to be American. And she does so through song.In our conversation, she talks about all of that and, among other things, the punk band Anti-Flag. Learn more about your ad choices.
