Conor Oberst: Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) | NPR Music Front Row
FULL CONCERT: https://youtu.be/ZFokrwZ14K4
‘Ruminations' is one of Conor Oberst's most personal records — and it was a surprise, even for its creator. He didn't intend to make an album — he was trying to recover from exhaustion after he was rattled by a health scare, a cyst on his brain. But when he left New York, N.Y., and moved back to his hometown of Omaha, Neb., the songs started coming. He recorded ‘Ruminations' on piano, guitar and harmonica in 48 hours during the winter after he moved home. The result is a collection of brave, dark songs that confront Oberst's thoughts during that time head-on.

MASSACRE AT TALIESIN- Frank Lloyd Wright's Beloved Home is Also the Site of a Brutal Mass Murder
Frank Lloyd Wright built his masterpiece, Taliesin, in Spring Green, Wisconsin as a love nest for him and his mistress. Wright had left his wife and six children behind to carry on an illicit affair with Mary "Mamah" Borthwick Cheney, who left her husband and two children to be with him. The pair had met when Mamah's husband, Edwin Cheney, hired Wright to build he and Mamah a home. The star crossed lovers would not find a happy ending however. In 1914, Julian Carlton, a hired hand at Taliesin, used an axe to murder not just Mamah, but her two children, and four others who were at the home that fateful day. Why did he do it?

Phoebe Bridgers - Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch) [Conor Oberst cover]
Phoebe Bridgers covers "Mamah Borthwick (A Sketch)" from the 2016 Conor Oberst album Ruminations. This cover, shared on Phoebe's social media accounts on 03.29.20, highlights an ongoing effort to support the Bootleg Theater (the place where Phoebe and Conor first met) during its closure due to COVID-19 mandates in Los Angeles. The original video had very low audio, so I enhanced the quality a little so that it's more audible. Enjoy and donate to the Bootleg if you can. It's truly one of the best venues in Los Angeles.

Martha "Mamah" Borthwick (June 19, 1869 – August 15, 1914) is primarily noted for her relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright, which ended when she was murdered. She and Wright were instrumental in bringing the ideas and writings of Swedish feminist Ellen Key to American audiences. Wright built his famous settlement called Taliesin in Wisconsin for her, in part, to shield her from aggressive reporters and the negative public sentiment surrounding their non-married status. Both had left their spouses and children in order to live together and were the subject of relentless public censure.
Mamah met Wright's wife, Catherine, through a social club. Soon after, Edwin commissioned Wright to design them a home, now known as the Edwin H. Cheney House. Mamah's sister, Elizabeth Bouton Borthwick, lived in an apartment on the lower level of the house.
In his retirement, Mark became interested in a family ancestor, Mamah Borthwick, a gifted woman who had a serious, publicly misrepresented love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright... Mamah Borthwick and Frank ...
Much has been written about the life of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, but very little is known about the woman who was central to his life at a time he was making great advances — his mistress, Mamah Borthwick.
