Book Synopsis Escape to Haven by : Robert N. Gable
Download or read book Escape to Haven written by Robert N. Gable and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the eve of the inauguration, Kent Davidson and the members of his Sunday school class realize their concerns about the future of America are very real possibilities. They expect the reckless actions of the federal government to bring about a collapse of the country's economic and social structure. Likewise, they believe the direction in which the country is going will embolden the terrorists to resume attacks on U.S. soil. When Kent takes action to protect his family from the impending chaos, his friends are intrigued. Many view him as a right wing enthusiast, especially former classmate Senator Bailey Beauregard Bates, but a few join in with Kent's plan to Escape to Haven. After the federal government approves a one-time tax on all financial assets, a run on the banks enhances the need for the self-sustaining community of Haven. Friends and former skeptics flock to Kent's door. Unfortunately, Kent and the residents of Haven soon find that being a self-sustaining community doesn't mean being commended, especially when you've defied the odds and beat the system. Will Kent be able to ward off the attacks of local thugs, the IRS, terrorists, and the ultimate culprit-B. B. Bates? Join new author Robert N. Gable in his first novel, Escape to Haven, a political thriller about the importance of relying on our faith in times of political and economic turmoil.

Download or read book Gypsy Jazz written by Michael Dregni and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the styles of jazz to emerge in the twentieth century, none is more passionate, more exhilaratingly up-tempo, or more steeped in an outsider tradition than Gypsy Jazz. And there is no one more qualified to write about Gypsy Jazz than Michael Dregni, author of the acclaimed biography, Django. A vagabond music, Gypsy Jazz is played today in French Gypsy bars, Romany encampments, on religious pilgrimages--and increasingly on the world's greatest concert stages. Yet its story has never been told, in part because much of its history is undocumented, either in written form or often even in recorded music. Beginning with Django Reinhardt, whose dazzling Gypsy Jazz became the toast of 1930s Paris in the heady days of Josephine Baker, Picasso, and Hemingway, Dregni follows the music as it courses through caravans on the edge of Paris, where today's young French Gypsies learn Gypsy Jazz as a rite of passage, along the Gypsy pilgrimage route to Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer where the Romany play around their campfires, and finally to the new era of international Gypsy stars such as Bireli Lagrene, Boulou Ferre, Dorado Schmitt, and Django's own grandchildren, David Reinhardt and Dallas Baumgartner. Interspersed with Dregni's vivid narrative are the words of the musicians themselves, many of whom have never been interviewed for the American press before, as they describe what the music means to them. Gypsy Jazz also includes a chapter devoted entirely to American Gypsy musicians who remain largely unknown outside their hidden community. Blending travelogue, detective story, and personal narrative, Gypsy Jazz is music history at its best, capturing the history and culture of this elusive music--and the soul that makes it swing.
Download or read book Louder Than Bombs written by Ed Vulliamy and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part reportage, Louder Than Bombs is a story of music from the front lines. Ed Vulliamy, a decorated war correspondent and journalist, offers a testimony of his lifelong passion for music. Vulliamy’s reporting has taken him around the world to cover the Bosnian war, the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of Communism, the Iraq wars of 1991 and 2003 onward, narco violence in Mexico, and more, places where he confronted stories of violence, suffering, and injustice. Through it all, Vulliamy has turned to music not only as a reprieve but also as a means to understand and express the complicated emotions that follow. Describing the artists, songs, and concerts that most influenced him, Vulliamy brings together the two largest threads of his life—music and war. Louder Than Bombs covers some of the most important musical milestones of the past fifty years, from Jimi Hendrix playing “Machine Gun” at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 to the Bataclan in Paris under siege in 2015. Vulliamy was present for many of these historic moments, and with him as our guide, we see them afresh, along the way meeting musicians like B. B. King, Graham Nash, Patti Smith, Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel, and Bob Dylan. Vulliamy peppers the book with short vignettes—which he dubs 7" singles—recounting some of his happiest memories from a lifetime with music. Whether he’s working as an extra in the Vienna State Opera’s production of Aida, buying blues records in Chicago, or drinking coffee with Joan Baez, music is never far from his mind. As Vulliamy discovers, when horror is unspeakable, when words seem to fail us, we can turn to music for expression and comfort, or for rage and pain. Poignant and sensitively told, Louder Than Bombs is an unforgettable record of a life bursting with music.

Download or read book Time Is Tight written by Booker T. Jones and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited memoir of Booker T. Jones, leader of the famed Stax Records house band, architect of the Memphis soul sound, and one of the most legendary figures in music. From Booker T. Jones's earliest years in segregated Memphis, music was the driving force in his life. While he worked paper routes and played gigs in local nightclubs to pay for lessons and support his family, Jones, on the side, was also recording sessions in what became the famous Stax Studios-all while still in high school. Not long after, he would form the genre-defining group Booker T. and the MGs, whose recordings went on to sell millions of copies, win a place in Rolling Stone's list of top 500 songs of all time, and help forge collaborations with some of the era's most influential artists, including Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Sam & Dave. Nearly five decades later, Jones's influence continues to help define the music industry, but only now is he ready to tell his remarkable life story. Time is Tight is the deeply moving account of how Jones balanced the brutality of the segregationist South with the loving support of his family and community, all while transforming a burgeoning studio into a musical mecca. Culminating with a definitive account into the inner workings of the Stax label, as well as a fascinating portrait of working with many of the era's most legendary performers-Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Tom Jones, among them-this extraordinary memoir promises to become a landmark moment in the history of Southern Soul.

Download or read book Remembering Him written by Bill Wright and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bills Life story was his desire for his children and grandchildren to know him and even more than that, he wanted them to know Jesus as their personal savior. He studied the Bible and was very concerned about the liberal teachings coming from new translations and our governments lack of respect of Gods Word. Bill never knew his father because his father was killed, as he tells in his story, at the very young age of two. Although Bill was always around during the lives of his children, there was much of his younger days not spoken of. He loved reading of his heritage and had a desire to know his father and grandfathers. He wanted his children and grandchildren to know him and what his childhood was like. Maybe he was driven by his desire to know more about his own daddy or just wanted his loved ones to know where he came from. Whatever the reason, it was very important to Bill to be remembered. He wanted his grandchildren to know he was a singer and decided to record some CDs to be left behind. Wanting to be remembered and also wanting Jesus to be remembered, he named the gospel recording Remembering Him, and he recorded an old country classic, popular in our younger days, The w-RIGHT WORLD. As you read Bills MyLife, notice the time and datesit will tell you even more. If you read and listen closely, you will find a love story or maybe two or maybe even threeor is there more? Michael Carlton has a lot to say about needing the negative to know the positive. Pray for wisdom and understanding Bill wrote an original story of his life, which included many more names and happenings or memories special to him. It was too much for a short book; therefore, Bill condensed this book. It has not been altered in any way. At one time, while Bill was writing, sitting at the head of our dining-room table, which served as his office, he called to me (I was in the kitchen next room), What about the time [Ill not say what], how or what should I say? After a quiet thought and a sincere prayer and a deep breath, I answered, What is, is. Its your book. Write what you want. I turned and walked away, thinking, Whats done is done and cant be undone. I cant change the past. Thank God for his forgiveness, praise His Holy Name Jesus Christ and His shed blood. I appreciate you so much, thank you, Lord! Bills wife for 51 years, Helen

Download or read book The War written by Geoffrey C. Ward and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vivid voices that speak from these pages are not those of historians or scholars. They are the voices of ordinary men and women who experienced—and helped to win—the most devastating war in history, in which between 50 and 60 million lives were lost. Focusing on the citizens of four towns— Luverne, Minnesota; Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama;—The War follows more than forty people from 1941 to 1945. Woven largely from their memories, the compelling, unflinching narrative unfolds month by bloody month, with the outcome always in doubt. All the iconic events are here, from Pearl Harbor to the liberation of the concentration camps—but we also move among prisoners of war and Japanese American internees, defense workers and schoolchildren, and families who struggled simply to stay together while their men were shipped off to Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa. Enriched by maps and hundreds of photographs, including many never published before, this is an intimate, profoundly affecting chronicle of the war that shaped our world. From the Hardcover edition.

Book Synopsis Wyoming Range War by : John W. Davis
Download or read book Wyoming Range War written by John W. Davis and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wyoming attorney John W. Davis retells the story of the West’s most notorious range war. Having delved more deeply than previous writers into land and census records, newspapers, and trial transcripts, Davis has produced an all-new interpretation. He looks at the conflict from the perspective of Johnson County residents—those whose home territory was invaded and many of whom the invaders targeted for murder—and finds that, contrary to the received explanation, these people were not thieves and rustlers but legitimate citizens. The broad outlines of the conflict are familiar: some of Wyoming’s biggest cattlemen, under the guise of eliminating livestock rustling on the open range, hire two-dozen Texas cowboys and, with range detectives and prominent members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, “invade” north-central Wyoming to clean out rustlers and other undesirables. While the invaders kill two suspected rustlers, citizens mobilize and eventually turn the tables, surrounding the intruders at a ranch where they intend to capture them by force. An appeal for help convinces President Benjamin Harrison to call out the army from nearby Fort McKinley, and after an all-night ride the soldiers arrive just in time to stave off the invaders’ annihilation. Though taken prisoner, they later avoid prosecution. The cattle barons’ powers of persuasion in justifying their deeds have colored accounts of the war for more than a century. Wyoming Range War tells a compelling story that redraws the lines between heroes and villains.
Download or read book Crayonstone written by Clinton Adams and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brown's finest lithographs reveal great subtlety and feeling; their simple directness and poised beauty call to mind Winslow Homer or Whistler. Known primarily as the printer of George Bellows's lithographs, Brown (1864-1936) was also a great printmaker and a fascinating painter in his own right. His oils betray influences ranging from the Impressionists and Fauves to the Hudson River School. In this excellent, sensitive, richly illustrated biography, Adams, former director of the Tamarind Institute, views Brown as an adventurous spirit who founded a utopian art colony in Woodstock, N.Y.; climbed the Sierra Nevada mountains; taught at Stanford University; and exhibited in the New York Armory Show in 1913--but died in poverty and obscurity. Brown's solitary, frustrating life stands in stark contrast to his glorious prints"--Amazon webpage.
