Erie Canal - Live in Buffalo (NY, USA)
14th video in my new series, showing some live music performances recorded during my trip to Eastern Canada (Québec and Ontario) and New York state (USA) in September of 2016...
Live cover of Erie Canal, an old traditional song (also known as Low Bridge, Everybody Down, Fifteen Years on the Erie Canal, Fifteen Miles on the Erie Canal, Erie Canal Song, and Mule Named Sal) written in 1905 by Thomas S. Allen.
The song has been recorded and performed by many artists over the years. My cover was inspired by Bruce Springsteen's version, included in his 2006 album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions.
Cover performed with Yamaha GL1 guitalele, harmonica and vocals.
I recorded this video in the evening of September 19, 2016, next to a low bridge on a water channel, which is the kind of location that this nostalgic song is about.
The Erie canal ran from Albany to Buffalo, in the state of New york.

Lock 42 & Genesee Valley Canal - History Happened Here Historic Marker Vignette
The Genesee Valley Canal is not well known outside of the region, but it played a vital role in the economic development of the United States in the mid to late 19th century. This lock was one of several on the canal-way that provided access between the Erie Canal near Rochester, New York, and the Allegheny River near Olean, New York. While the Erie Canal provided access from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes via the Hudson River, the Allegheny River eventually meets the Ohio River, which meets the Mississippi, and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The Genesee Valley Canal provided an important linkage between the three major routes for moving goods and people throughout the US, while avoiding the open water of the Great Lakes. The canal was only open for 35 years, eventually being supplanted by railroads, but many parts of it are still visible today as part of the Genesee Valley Greenway.

Walk Around Downtown Schenectady, New York ,USA ???????? [4K]
This is short walk in downtown Schenectady New York. I started from Entrance to Proctor Theater and walked on State street for a block and return to Proctor Interior Arcade and end the walk at the back door of Proctor Theater.
-------------------------
Proctor's Theatre (officially stylized as Proctors since 2007; however, the marquee retains the apostrophe) is a former vaudeville house located in Schenectady, New York, United States. Many famous artists have performed there, notably Mariah Carey (whose 1993 top-rated Thanksgiving special was taped there), Britney Spears, Hal Holbrook, Ted Wiles, and George Burns, as well as many others. It has one of the largest movie screens in the Northeast.
The theatre was opened on December 27, 1926. It was designed by architect Thomas Lamb. Four years later it hosted the first public demonstration of television. In 1979 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places, shortly before being renovated after a long period of decline and neglect. A renovation completed in 2007 added two theatres to the complex, providing a variety of performance spaces.
The theater building is located on the south side of State Street (NY 5), in a densely developed commercial area. The exterior of the building and its interior arcade are included in the Register listing.
It is a three-story building with attic. The North (front) facade is faced in stucco, with engaged Doric pilasters. Ornamentation includes garlands and paterae on the friezes. A large marquee covers the sidewalk in front.[2]
Inside, the arcade that connects the entrance to the theatre features space for (originally) 14 boutiques, with five copper-framed glass windows. A marble staircase leads to the upstairs offices, and the box office and showcase are paneled in Walnut.[2]
The foyer is carpeted in red, with men's and women's smoking rooms on either side. Two more marble staircases lead to the balcony level. A pastoral mural in sepia decorates the wall. The staircases lead to a balcony promenade with an authentic Louis XV style sofa. Decoration includes Corinthian columns, iron railings and extensive gold leaf detailing.[2]
Corinthian columns also flank the proscenium arch over the stage. Gold leaf detail is all over the domed ceiling and entrance arches, in contrast to the black and silver damask wall coverings. The side loges are trimmed with iron grilles in the arches and heavy velvet drapes. Light is provided by a central black and gold chandelier with 192 lamps, flanked by six smaller fixtures.
_____________
Schenectady (/skəˈnɛktədi/[3][4]) is a city in Schenectady County, New York, United States, of which it is the county seat. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 66,135. The name Schenectady is derived from a Mohawk word, skahnéhtati, meaning beyond the pines.[5][6] Schenectady was founded on the south side of the Mohawk River by Dutch colonists in the 17th century, many from the Albany area. They were prohibited from the fur trade by the Albany monopoly, which kept its control after the English takeover in 1664. Residents of the new village developed farms on strip plots along the river.
Connected to the west via the Mohawk River and Erie Canal, Schenectady developed rapidly in the 19th century as part of the Mohawk Valley trade, manufacturing and transportation corridor. By 1824 more people worked in manufacturing than agriculture or trade, and the city had a cotton mill, processing cotton from the Deep South. Numerous mills in New York had such ties with the South. Through the 19th century, nationally influential companies and industries developed in Schenectady, including General Electric and American Locomotive Company (ALCO), which were powers into the mid-20th century. Schenectady was part of emerging technologies, with GE collaborating in the production of nuclear-powered submarines and, in the 21st century, working on other forms of renewable energy.
Schenectady is in eastern New York, near the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers. It is in the same metropolitan area as the state capital, Albany, which is about 15 miles (24 km) southeast.[7] In December 2014, the state announced that the city was one of three sites selected for development of off-reservation casino gambling, under terms of a 2013 state constitutional amendment. The project would redevelop an ALCO brownfield site in the city along the waterfront, with hotels, housing and a marina in addition to the casino.[

Cycling Honolulu's Underbelly
When I blog about Honolulu and Hawaii, I normally write about the great food, wonderful weather, the natural beauty of the landscape and the beaches, or about the monuments and memorials. It is an incredible state but like any of the states, it has an underbelly that the tourists, as well as many of the locals, never see. It is understandable that people do not want to go on vacation to see the homeless, families living under the highways, or children bathing in the backwaters of Pearl Harbor. Hawaii has an enormous homeless problem and not seeing them does not make their plight any less. In May of this year, I cycled from King Street near the Honolulu Museum of Art to the Nimitz Bike Path, past Pearl Harbor to the end of the Aiea Bike Path. It is along the bike paths, in the parks and under the highway that many of the homeless find shelter. This 55 minute video records my trip from the start of the Nimitz Bike Path to the end of the Aiea Bike Path.

Low Bridge - The Erie Canal song
The popular song Fifteen Miles on the Erie Canal was written in 1905 by Thomas S. Allen after Erie Canal barge traffic was converted from mule power to engine power, raising the speed of traffic above fifteen miles per day. The tune is sadly nostalgic. Also known as Low Bridge, Everybody Down, The Erie Canal Song, Fifteen Years on the Erie Canal, Mule Named Sal, and Fifteen Miles on the Erie Canal, the song memorializes the years from 1825 to 1880 when the mule barges made boomtowns out of Utica, Rome, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, and transformed New York into the Empire State.

Blue Canyon is an unincorporated community in Placer County, California. Blue Canyon is located 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Emigrant Gap and lies at an elevation of 4695 feet (1431 m). It was possibly named for the blue smoke of the camps when extensive lumbering occurred there in the 1850s, but locals say it might be named after a miner from that same period called “Old Jim Blue”.
2 – Aomori City, Japan – Average Annual Snowfall: 312 inches (792.48 cm)
Aomori and its surrounding area are renowned for heavy snowfall, the heaviest among all Japanese cities, and, in fact, among the heaviest in the world. The particularly heavy snow is caused by several winds that collide around the city and make the air rise and cool, resulting in quick, thick cloud formation followed by intense precipitation.
1 – Toyama, Japan – Average Annual Snowfall: 413 inches (1049.02 cm)
You have probably seen these images all over the internet. They are indeed of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route near Toyama, Japan. The route is carefully built so that the surrounding environment is not damaged. Consequently, three lines go entirely under tunnels. (This is also to protect the lines from snow.) Among them are two are trolleybus lines and these are used to prevent exhaust fumes from melting the snow.
