Republicans joined 30 Democrats and one independent in opposing the amendment. Brian Naylor NPR News the Capitol. A showdown over a state constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage took place today in the Georgia Supreme Court. From Atlanta Joshua Levs reports. Even before the amendment passed overwhelmingly in the 2004 elections opponents were saying it violated the state's constitution. They said the Amendment deals with gay marriage and civil unions. Two different topics. Ballot initiatives are only allowed to ask one question. Last month the state's superior court judge agreed and threw out the amendment. Now the state is fighting to have it reinstated Governor Sonny Perdue argues the people of Georgia knew exactly what they were voting on and that the whole amendment was aimed at banning gay marriage. The two sides presented their arguments to the state Supreme Court but it's unclear how soon the court may rule. Governor Perdue has said he may push for a new amendment this fall.

And you are on a round trip. Yeah I've been out on the road now for over four weeks. And boy do I wish I was home. Nothing personal but not being home this is the next best place to be. Absolutely. Welcome to Tampa you've been following your exploits and we might as well say right at the top that anybody else can to your website it's a real hoot. You got it. I guess we could call it a blog or a daily diary there of your my exploits exploits. We saw each other a couple of weeks ago foreign earth from here up in Rochester Yeah. The jazz week conference and so what you four weeks and how many how many miles he's sort of done from south southwest.

Basically I'm going around the perimeter of the country. Yeah. How are the how's the car on the driver holding up. Well the car just got an oil change yesterday. And the driver is exhausted. You know I'm getting there. Getting down the road and this is what one person you're doing all right. I couldn't do it without you know my husband and partner and the arranger on this record and you know our producer and all the various hats he wears and he's also my tour manager he's you know babysitting the dogs at home and and making sure I get where I need to go he. Instead of OnStar we call him Mark Starr I call my home. He gets me out of it and they have a gator from from home. Well you know he's got access to the Internet when you're driving and you know you I mean I'm glad I got a cell phone because I don't have you know a laptop on this on the street so I emailed you directions to our studios a few hours ago and he were you know

only later to me. Well like Ben Sidran said many years ago in a 13 minute song or so that he did the most important thing a jazz musician needs is a good travel agent. Absolutely. Or a spouse who can act as one. And I was going to say congratulate your arranger with if you happen to talk to him you talk to him often. Absolutely. At least 10 times a day. Congratulations on the early success of this. I know you it's your favorite of so many of us who do jazz on radio. And you were just telling me we're not that we support satellite radio. Or that concept but you were saying extremism is all over the new seagrass you picked up quite a few where you're sure done a great thing. I want to get into your role as a songwriter and and a lot about your history and so on but this is the opening when we was able to hear you do a little performance to showcase a couple of

weeks back which was the opening tune and I'm sure it's one of the favorites among radio stations gravitating toward songs on the new one. Is this your alma mater bebop high. I wish actually. Some of these tunes I mean the opening to that you just played I wrote when I was in college at University of Connecticut and a friend said some words to it a few years later and it's basically taken this long for it to be fully realized or at least I consider it's fully realized. So you know if you're patient enough sooner or later your song finds and finds a place. So bebop guy goes back to no bebop high. Basically I had in the back of my mind I always loved the songs from the tunes from the birth of the cool and you know the kind of early bebop not anything that's too hard and. And so I basically had a tune and I gave it to Mark Winkler who I've been writing with the last three

years and you know he set it up like that. It was originally going to be the title cut of the album. But we and we had artwork all worked up for it and everything and I showed it to a publicist and he said oh you're a teacher. And I thought no no that's not the message I'm on. So before we rename the album but the song is still there. Well the names you drop in the song would make up some student body you who can be our guest tonight Marilyn Harris. You got me to send it back to the area to try and play the notes of the drums and reaches much to my. Bed tonight assuming the all the

critics might just want to tell the truth. Plan for the poll. You gotta learn how to learn in.

You name dropper you. Hey whatever will get me on the radio. Well it worked from the new CD road rather round trip she's on a road trip Marilyn Harris joining us tonight. She has been racking up the miles for weeks. Tucson is home you were all the way up. Well Cross to L.A. and then up the West Coast. So and it's that beautiful country. How I can see why everybody you know wants to live in Oregon and Washington State it's just incredible in the Rockies who. So it must be it must be quite expert you say you did this once once before.

Well I took off to promote the last CD futures tree. And I kind of went through the middle of the country back back to New York City and then you know actually up to as far as Boston and then back through the middle of the country and that's that's a different kind of stroke. But this one I had a few gigs one in Chicago one in Los Angeles one in New York City just last Friday so it's been going well and then of course dropping in on all the radio stations whether they want to see me or not. Well we've been looking forward to it. And a few rollers along the way that you have looked up. Absolutely I've seen all three of my sisters and. And I now call in some cousins and some some dear friends I've known for 25 30 years so it's been real. No homecoming. It looks like some nice gigs too I see you work with Larry gray in Chicago he is just heavenly. I don't know if he can. People may not know him but if you seen Ramsey Lewis in recent years I've seen him on base and he's just a virtuoso.

Yeah well he kind of saved my bacon more than once because he'd never seen the music before and boom he was right on top of it. So I got lost but he found me. You're the song we just heard was one of quite a few you've written in tandem with Mark Winkler as a good writer and. And I want to hear this next one. When I had a chance with many friends to see you a couple of weeks ago a lot of us had were laughing so hard at some of your material we had tears running down our GI accepted then but this next song was one that many had people's eyes filling with tears that goes the other direction. I think I heard Mark himself do this a couple of years ago does that make sense. Yes yes he's been performing it around and you know he's he's working so many different angles to try to get jazz happening. He has a new musical called Play it cool which features two songs that he and I collaborated on a lot of other songs that he collaborated with other writers. And he's getting rave

reviews in L.A. He's just you know over the moon because this is like after the fifth or sixth show that he's worked on or collaborated you know or originated this. This one is just taken off it's gotten all the you know kudos in Los Angeles and he's helped in that it'll get you know produced elsewhere too. I saw him on a panel of songwriters a couple of years ago with Lorraine Feather and been said written and others and and it seemed to me that this was the song he did on that occasion. The song the song that you and he co-wrote and it's just a lovely song as it would be is there a story behind the afternoon in Harlem that afternoon in Harlem. Well anyone who you know has lived in New York and visited a musician. I've had that experience at least a dozen times where you go visit somebody and that I think was the inspiration. You know.

Still she said we would film

and we get the stories. She said. This was just. Too soon. I wanted kids but it was. My first husband. The plane broke into the pit knowing then she offered me a couple of

teeth with my feet. See still across the smile. She sang the song that she. Was for sure. Music's never.

Had the same and is broad. Just one just like it was.

This song is that afternoon in Harlem written by Marilyn Harris with Mark Winkler Marilyn Harris is with us here tonight on WUSA F. eighty nine point seven a nice bass solo by Chuck Berg offer and on saxophone Pete Christlieb Marilyn you've had Pete lot on your recordings or at least on these last couple. If you're going to get you get you've got a lot of the best players in Los Angeles and that is a loosely Pete's always been a favorite of mine or a favorite around here. Yeah. Now he's he's wonderful. He's like a force of nature you can hold him back.

Now that's a lovely song and we'll get to the stuff that will. Will Bob the one with Bob hero in just a minute. And the wisdom of Sam Kinison is one we have to get to with you recorded a couple of times now with the songwriting is was songwriting something that came to you a young age did were you doing that. Well the secret to how I started writing was I couldn't stand making mistakes. I was taking piano lessons and if I played like the Minuet in G you could tell when I made a mistake. But if I played something that you didn't necessarily know then if I made a mistake it was just kind of between me and the piano. So it's supposed to be yeah. And I sort of like that it kind of you know covered my bases from a certain standpoint and they were classically trained them as well I took lessons you know when I first got my first piano you know. But I studied with a guy who his name was read Richmond in

Hartford Connecticut and he he got me started on chords and you know chord symbols and comping for you know to play tunes and what have you and so I never really learned to read terribly well. I mean I I can manage but I'm not expert. And because he plays sickly he played organ and piano and sang and had a regular gig every night and so he was definitely steeped in the pop stuff and you know I learned songs like fascination and. You know I pay your PI hard and had to make up my own fills and stuff for it so you know I kind of was able to fake it for a long long time. Just being in the trenches night after night will be an education. Absolutely I've always loved the hip wordplay that some artists bring to jazz and other in other a kind of parody music too. I see that all in some of the things you write remind me of Mose

Allison the kind of irony or humor and he's one of my heroes he's right up there with Dave Frishberg and Bob Dorough first bird was the next name I'd mention right. And you actually got a coup and got on the record. Oh I love him. He's wonderful. And as Neil tester our listen here host we enjoy having that show on Sunday nights here and he wrote your liner notes and he remarked what rings true with me that it sounds like it's one of Bob duros own songs. Well that's kind of intentional. So you did you write this one with the with with Mark Winkler. And Don Shelton and Warren looming and once again Pete Christlieb and the great trombonist Andy Martin all have spots here is the collaboration Marilyn Harris along with Bob Durham. Guy Sweat who doesn't think

I don't own a pair I'm usually. Asked me why I slammed on my Sunday best. Looks kind of stiff. I don't own a yacht. I have two little black jack. That's not my bag. Oh you're holding it so clam primetime where they may be paying me. There are kids with with their head south going on and I mean you just. Listen and

you walk in and some some higher plane crossing. The Valley. Can you just. Me and then I bring you up to

the science of never misses an action and that. One who could win win. John Candy and that's.

That bring. On the truck. Take a.

Week. That musta been a good time working with one of your lyrical lyricist and singing heroes one of my mentors he says he's the best. Way he's way up there. Had you had much history with Doro Obviously I invited him to write liner notes for the last CD. And you know a few concert appearances and invited him to be on the first songwriting panel that happened for me in 2004. He was wonderful. Everybody just loved him. And it and most people say Doro but it's he because he says there are oh I don't know I'm I'm I forget.

And some of this there's a whole generation knows him from the Schoolhouse Rock House Rock and I actually I didn't know I did know about that for a long time but he did OK with that. Absolutely. Marilyn Harris is my guest tonight I'm Bob Seymour this is WUSA of eighty nine point seven and the new CD round trip is the purpose of her road trip. She is about four weeks into traveling around the country and I guess just about a week from home. Yeah. Knock on wood. Oh I'm being to some these days. Yeah. That's where we were. We spend most of our time we go into L.A. for special stuff and you know you always have to travel. And that's that's part of being a musician these days. You know the very few people can make a living staying in one place if you are if your career is doing OK you just have to live near an airport you'll be OK. Right. You and I must say that I don't know if you the listener know the meaning of the

word swag but Marilyn you know the meaning of the word swag swag being that free promotional stuff that people in any line of work give away and where you are sitting here drinking out of Marilyn Harris coffee cups my cat Dexter was playing with the Marilyn Harris Frisbee and there's a nice little pill box with road trip. Eminem's and sprite. You've got a covered Yeah emergency chocolate oh you see I've got to have someone hand. I also love as people in radio have been talking about the cover of the new CD and they could I'm sure see this on your website. It's a map of the round trip with. From Christlieb caverns to the bebop National Forest basi International Airport. And as my wife said a couple of hours ago. Or is it the monk the loneliest monk national from our national park. That'll be the day we can wish. It's a great it's a great map you've got in addition to

songwriting and doing what we hear you doing here. I noticed that not many people in music make a living doing one kind of thing and you have a very varied background. And one of those things was a copy used for go Evans. Yeah I started out basically out of school I worked for a music publisher and then another music publisher as an editor for printed music and I had been trained to be a music happiest so I did that for some classical composers and then I you know came across Gil Evans I was his copyist for two and a half years. He was a very very interesting guy to work with. One would that have been in the mid 70s. It's funny because last week I was at the Jazz journalists awards and I introduced myself to Maria Schneider who was his copyist in the 80s. And I kind of compared notes with her and I realized basically when she came on the

scene that she she had been protected by being a copyist in the 80s or his copyist in the 80s because that was you know it was like not not that the sexual revolution was over but people were a little bit more conservative than they were in the 70s. And I never even occurred to me to you know use my association with guilt to parlay it in to my own career. I was too busy trying to date the band so. And I don't think that she got distracted by that I thought she had you know mightier purpose than that. So you worked with him on a clothes day long debate. Absolutely because every every week he would have adjustments to the charts and you know the band would play at the Village Vanguard in New York and he would want you know this 18 bars or that section changed or he'd revise this that or the other. He was always experimenting with it which is a wonderful way to be with

music you know you can you can have your favorite songs that you're working on and really visiting for 20 years. I mean they're there the music is the gift that keeps on giving especially if you're an arranger and you want to try new things and of course he had some stellar players I mean David Sanborn was in the band when I was copying for it and and Howard Johnson and there were just monster players and a loose all off on trumpet it was it was just you know John faddists was a heck of a band. Yeah. And you still you're active still in. Well end of thing I still do music preparation I do. Musicology which is basically examining music for primarily advertising agencies to make sure there's not plagiarism or we don't think that there's any plagiarism they're not inadvertently ripping off somebody else's ideas. And you know I mean I play piano in various gigs around town. You know I sing on jingles I've done a lot of stuff through the years and you kind

of have to wear a lot of hats to survive especially now. You know these days. Well let's hear the hit song from a future Street. I think it was the hit song for most of us from that there was some great songs on future straight which was about two years ago I guess. Your more recent CD your last CD before the brand new one. And I recall hearing this for the first time and just roaring and I'm sure that's been a common reaction. Well some people think it's too outrageous but you've got to have some fun with that. I was struck you did this in a live performance when I caught you recently and you over the vamp it's such a lovely little samba melody with such an outrageous lyric and you're even sang a bit about. Yeah. When you're playing a song you can say anything. That's right. This is called Mud this a patient our guest tonight Marilyn Harris. Man if I had my

number in my luggage and now serve as a playing Guess I might have enough of them and instead of borrowing trying to put some money on low they say somebody has got to and maybe I have to fill up and get my money. What is a good time I have claimed my. Creed is the Biker Boys either cheat marking their finances would take me home with

them each. On why I can't remember. This way as I greet my mom. Hi. Dry. Hi I'm hungry.

Q Should we shoot instead of zombies. When you're young grandma you have to win friends by learning from Atlanta so you can win. I think it's going to become a standard. Well it's got a happy ending. Yeah I'm real OK.

A beautiful scene with some outrageous lyrics that Marilyn Harris is with us tonight here in the studio WSF eighty nine point seven. And that's nice. Part of we refer to a standard part of your mission I'm sure as a writer is to get others to do your songs. I would love that. I love when that happens and it does happen from time to time. As long as we're with the somewhat surprising lyrics. Let's hear the other one that I remember being floored by when I first heard is the one about the late comic Sam Kinison are inspired by him. Do you have any personal experience with Sam or just as a noun or just as a fan. Yeah. I always thought he was a very very practical man. His ideas on how to solve world hunger I thought you know nobody else has come up with this idea. And it's true people will quote this to me. Yeah it's been several years and Sam died as a traffic accident right.

And so some may not remember or some young folks. This relates to the maybe the most famous routine he did write with advice to those in a while instead of sending food to hungry you know the starving people in Ethiopia or whatever you know it's like you can't grow anything there it's the desert. Let's get buses and bring them where the food but the song is not. And his message is not really cold hearted it's really a metaphor isn't it. I think so yeah. This is Marilyn song on the new release round trip simply titled The wisdom of Sam Kinison you look and feel and hungry and slow. I tell you legend just go with

you in the head. I don't give a damn where you really go in the film. Get it then really hit the nail on the head when he said. If you want to get some you his time because he wasn't just trying to just go in a flash now stand around though you'll hear of her says much of the good things come into the fold. Better go with Sam Kinison from the command.

Understand them and then the place where you stand. Then we can start down I keep insisting we follow right. Just go in a flash. By hungry boy

was there any real way to go whether the. Person in the place my. Phone died and I am a Santa suit go in the window. Thank. You.

The wisdom of Sam Kinison. That's Marilyn Harris once again that's fun. Thanks. Did that just how did that come to you just enjoying it. Well I have some recordings of his you know routine and I don't know I think it's a very profound philosophy in its own way an insolent irreverent way. And you know it's very very true when you think about it if you want something you've got to go to where it is you can expect it to come to you. And I'm getting more and more philosophical The older I get. And you know there's there's a good side to that that you know you kind of make peace with a lot of stuff that you know really got in your craw when you were younger. Once again I'm really struck by the arrangements so I keep you know congratulate mark for me on this

too. I really think. Did you do the good thing in having the husband do the charts. Well he's a brilliant writer. You know in his own stead and he has done a lot of TV and movie work right. You know he's done a lot of stuff with orchestral and you know a lot of stuff in advertising we covered a lot of you know Territory musically. But you know big band was something this originally we thought wouldn't it be nice to have a few big band cuts and then it kind of like Topsy it grew. And to the point where we said let's do a whole album of the band because there are so many different styles that we grew up with. Back when you know a buddy Rich and mannered FERGUSON And you know all these people traveled with bands and put out new albums all the time and you know we got very very excited you know when you're a kid in the 60s and 70s and you see all this stuff happening and everybody's got new releases you go. But when I grow up I'm going to have a big band. And then of course things change and the economy of you know having a big band no hardly anybody

actually travels with a big band I'm sure. Gordon Goodwin has. You know good records that he puts out but he doesn't take all these people on the road with them. Harry Connick doesn't write at all he has to but yeah nobody does. Yeah it's very very expensive and very very tough I mean unless you have a really solid built in audience. But that doesn't mean you can't go into the studio and make your dreams come true so you know we covered a lot of different styles that we remembered from The Tonight Show band and you know Sammy Nestico charts and that kind of deal half the end and because that's what we really liked. But you know by the same token I'm a songwriter so I want to do my songs primarily. You have some nice covers on here which we haven't gotten to but the beautiful song Marian McPartland probably best known for among her own songs twilight world is. Yeah. We'll be hearing some nights in the future. Yeah. That's such a beautiful song and I I thought of actually I decided to do it and then I thought well maybe she'll hear it and she'll want to put me on Piano

Jazz. But even if she doesn't I think it's a gorgeous song and I got to work with Bill Watrous who I you know knew from my copying days in New York in the mid 70s so I mean that was just. He's phenomenal he's one of those people who's never doesn't seem to age. You know he looks pretty much the same way he did in 1974 when I first met him. That's what he was you know like what's his secret. He was here a few weeks ago and I realize that somebody mentioned his age and he looks you know he could be 30 and he plays like a dream. He sure does he's he's just wonderful. I love what's the. We only have a minute but let's stay with one of the witty tunes the one the closes the new CD I guess grew out of. What's called a juke box jury on my right last. Last year's juke box jury at the Jazz We were meant for people like me sit around and

judge blindfold tested on records and react what I play what i not exactly and there was so much enthusiasm for the John Coltrane Thelonious Monk at Carnegie Hall I went women and those guys have been dead for a long time. What about those of us who are still here. And then you know those of us who are still here and writing new material so it's sort of like a double whammy. But. I came home from that and I complained and mark my husband you know Ben Mark well Winkler's here and said You gotta write a song about this. So Mr. Winkler came up with a really cool lyric and I thought OK let's write it. You know it's a great one. Thank you. They're gonna love me. I love the Lutheran home the rain the all the cats

ass they still blow the proverbial Forest Lawn. They're still swinging. Oh come on the nice thing is to force us back to the forces side. They have been known to blame in Holland then. I can't compete with stamps on an island but I don't know. And patience is no luck. Plan to

trust. The board. She she. She. Lead really crazy

when I. Told my son to come home. To my

son. Students said. They. Were after life.

Well that's a good one from the irreverent irrepressible Marilyn Harris. The CD is round trip and even drop in Whitney's name and on that one they're gonna love me that's the closer on the new CD and we've heard about half of it. People can learn a lot more on the website. That's right Marilyn Harris dot com. Congratulations on the new one and I hope you'll have a great trip home. Well thank you so much Bob it's really been my pleasure I appreciate all the time. We've had a ball and we'll be hearing a lot more of the new one and I was like jazz all night. From NPR News in Washington I'm She's Stevens. A proposed constitutional amendment to ban desecration of the American flag failed to pass the

Senate by one vote. Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee says the flag is a national monument that represents freedom and the sacrifice of the nation's veterans. Countless brave men and women have died defending the flag. It is but a small humble act for us to defend. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont says the measure would have a road it constitutional guarantees of free speech. This would be the first amendment to the constitution of a narrow the precious freedoms enjoyed by Americans under the Bill of Rights. Some Democrats say the proposal is an election year ploy to get more votes during the midterm vote in the fall. The Georgia Supreme Court heard arguments today in a dispute over the wording of a ballot measure to ban gay marriage from Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta. Susanna capital reports attorneys for a group of voters say the ballot for an amendment to Georgians approved two years ago was confusing and girs them into banning gay marriage. The ballot asked whether marriage should be defined as being a union

between a man and a woman. The law however also prohibits benefits to civil unions. Attorney Johnny Stevenson says that violates Georgia's single subject rule because marriage and civil unions are not the same. The reason we know those are separate subjects is that people people within the sound of my voice the president of the United States have presently said they feel differently about those two things. Attorneys for the state argued that the ballot dealt with the single idea of defining benefits for married heterosexual couples. A decision by the state's high court is expected by early August.
