Told often from Baez’s perspective, but supported by a rich performance and historical archive, the documentary centers on her career as a musician, power as an artist, those who influenced her, and those she championed. She will also be on a 27-city U.S. tour starting July 2009.. • A musical force and a catalyst for social change: At the age of eighteen Baez was an international star with a Time magazine cover story; fifty years later she has thirty-three albums to her credit. She also marched alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., was jailed for supporting the draft resistance, and sang in the first Amnesty International tour. An extraordinary woman who has led an eventful life, Baez’s memoir is as honest, unpretentious, and courageous as she is. .

Soon, Jillian was on a plane to Borneo, where she would spend the next eighteen months in the harem of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, youngest brother of the Sultan of Brunei, leaving behind her gritty East Village apartment for a palace with rugs laced with gold and trading her band of artist friends for a coterie of backstabbing beauties.

Book excerpt: JEHOVAHS WINDFALL is set against the backdrop of early 1960s Vietnam, where Air Force documentary cameraman Joe Hoffa finds himself involved with beautiful Chinese heiress Nit Noi Ho.

Download or read book Americana Music written by Lee Zimmerman and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With roots in Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, New Orleans, the Piedmont, Memphis, and the prairies of Texas and the American West, the musical genre called Americana can prove difficult to define. Nevertheless, this burgeoning trend in American popular music continues to expand and develop, winning new audiences and engendering fresh, innovative artists at an exponential rate. As Lee Zimmerman illustrates in Americana Music: Voices, Visionaries, and Pioneers of an Honest Sound, “Americana” covers a gamut of sounds and styles. In its strictest sense, it is a blanket term for bluegrass, country, mountain music, rockabilly, and the blues. By a broader definition, it can encompass roots rock, country rock, singer/songwriters, R&B, and their various combinations. Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Carl Perkins, and Tom Petty can all lay valid claims as purveyors of Americana, but so can Elvis Costello, Solomon Burke, and Jason Isbell. Americana is new and old, classic and contemporary, trendy and traditional. Mining the firsthand insights of those whose stories help shape the sound—people such as Ralph Stanley, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), Chris Hillman (Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers), Paul Cotton and Rusty Young (Poco), Shawn Colvin, Kinky Friedman, David Bromberg, the Avett Brothers, Amanda Shires, Ruthie Foster, and many more—Americana Music provides a history of how Americana originated, how it reached a broader audience in the ’60s and ’70s with the merging of rock and country, and how it evolved its overwhelmingly populist appeal as it entered the new millennium.
Download or read book G.O.L.F. written by LANE H. LUOMA and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You don’t have to be a bad golfer to be a frustrated golfer you simply have to be a golfer. The only people that are not frustrated golfers are those that don’t play. Anybody and everybody who plays the game will indeed be humbled and frustrated by it, even the best players on the planet.” “When it comes to golf, frustration is not just possible or probable, it is, in fact, unavoidable and inevitable. Being classified as a frustrated golfer, however, is in no way a dubious distinction. It is not an admission of inferiority but only an admission of being human.” “The GREAT GOLF PARADOX: There’s probably no game more difficult to master and yet no game more enjoyable when you do, even if only for a fleeting moment. It can, at times, embarrass, humiliate, humble, infuriate, and frustrate us without mercy but in spite of that, most who play love the game and many are downright fanatical about it.” “Golf may best be described as a game of opposites. You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. You swing right and the ball goes left. When your body is limber you use stiff shafts. When your body is stiff you use limber shafts. The lowest score wins and the winner buys the drinks. It is also the only game I know of that can be so FRUSTRATING one moment and yet so FUN the next.” “Golf is indeed a game but not only a game. To its dedicated and devoted followers it is much more than that. It is in part a religion, a vice, an obsession, a passion, an affliction, a mystery, and an enigma. It can at times frustrate one beyond belief but in the blink of an eye it can also offer up unbridled joy like nothing else.” “G.O.L.F. can often seem like the GREATEST OF LIFE’S FRUSTRATIONS but it can also be a GAME OF LIMITLESS FUN. It is, in my humble opinion, still THE greatest game the good Lord ever created.” Read about yourself or someone you know. If you’re a golfer you are most likely mentioned, described, or pictured many times in this book. If you are a non-golfer but know a golfer(s), you will enjoy reading about them and laughing at them over and over within these pages. www.golfrustrations.com
Download or read book Sky Songs written by Jennifer Sinor and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sky Songs is a collection of essays that takes inspiration from the ancient seabed in which Jennifer Sinor lives, an elemental landscape that reminds her that our lives are shaped by all that has passed through. Beginning with the conception of her first son, which coincided with the tragic death of her uncle on an Alaskan river, and ending a decade later in the Himalayan home of the Dalai Lama, Sinor offers a lyric exploration of language, love, and the promise inherent in the stories we tell: to remember. In these essays, Sinor takes us through the mountains, deserts, and rivers of the West and along with her on her travels to India. Whether rooted in the dailiness of raising children or practicing yoga, Sinor searches for the places where grace resides. The essays often weave several narrative threads together in the search for relationship and connection. A mother, writer, teacher, and yoga instructor, Sinor ultimately tackles the most difficult question: how to live in a broken world filled with both suffering and grace.

Book Synopsis Child of My Right Hand by : Eric Goodman
Download or read book Child of My Right Hand written by Eric Goodman and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stunning third novel from acclaimed author Eric Goodman is the story of a middle class family: college professors Jack and Genna Barish and their two children, fourteen-year-old Lizzy and seventeen-year-old Simon. The four have just moved to Tipton, Ohio, a small town divided by bigotry and class tensions, when Simon announces to his family, and eventually to the town, what his parents have long suspected-that he is gay. As Jack and Genna struggle to deal with their son's sexuality, his oppressive, ever-present teenaged angst and the conflicts that are raised within their marriage, the complex dynamics of a family unfold: love, doubt, betrayal, and sympathy-all strikingly caught by the author. Equally vivid are the Tipton residents' spectrum of reactions to Simon, ranging from open acceptance to acts of violent rage. This is a beautifully written and complex work of fiction.

Book Synopsis Breathing in the Fullness of Time by : William Kloefkorn
Download or read book Breathing in the Fullness of Time written by William Kloefkorn and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "tell-all" memoir takes on new meaning in the work of poet William Kloefkorn, whose accounts of the moments and movements of life touch on everything that matters, the prosaic and the profound, the extraordinary in the everyday, and the familiar in the new and strange. The fourth and final installment in Kloefkorn's reflections, Breathing in the Fullness of Time, departs from the elements ruling the other volumes--water, fire, and earth--and floats its insights and observations, its memories and anecdotes on the now wild, now whispering element of air. "Kloefkorn is a consummate storyteller," Publishers Weekly has said, noting his "keen eye and a gift for language that is beautiful in its simplicity." In this final volume, the poet uses those skills and his characteristically droll sense of humor to recapture time that, once experienced, is never really lost. His remembrances include a foray into college football, a stint in the Marines, a drift in a twelve-foot johnboat on the Loup River, learning to get a hog's attention, marriage at last to a childhood sweetheart, a sojourn in California, and a return to Nebraska to teach. The moments, large and small, sad and funny and fine, multiply to become a moving picture of life caught in the act of passing by.

It is an essential reference source on Mars and its moons, combining scientific and historical data with detailed and unique illustrations to provide a thorough analysis of twenty-first-century Mars mission proposals, spacecraft operations, landing site selection and surface locations.

Download or read book Everybody Needs Love written by Bruce Schurman and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Eddie was a black man in a white man's body. No one I've ever worked with or heard had any more Soul than Eddie did. His guitar playing was always tasteful, strong and distinctive...his voice grabbed you and pulled you in so that you not only heard it, but you felt it...and were mesmerized by it. He had a beautiful smile... but behind it were some inner thoughts that had to do with some deep pain that he kept hidden inside. That was one of the things that made him so intriguing, so interesting and so powerful.” – Chuck Leavell, piano player for the Rolling Stones and the Allman Brothers Band, among many others.
