Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightnin Charlie s sensational new book, OFF THE RECORD The Trials and Tribulations of a Travelin Troubadour, is a collection of side-splitting short stories and amazing anecdotes from his experiences as a professional touring musician, reformed saloon singer, and ultimately, is his unique and extraordinary testimony as a born-again Christian. OFF THE RECORD is LC s answer to the oft-asked question, What is it like to play music for a living? Filled with the kind of stories that Shakespeare couldn t make up, you ll laugh till you cry at these hysterical, historical, tall tales all true - that have led him from the smoky bars and honky-tonks to a dynamic music ministry. Lightnin Charlie, star of national TV, international and satellite radio, and a full-time entertainer for 25 years, has taken some curvy back roads on his way to Straight Street. His politically incorrect online blog, Lightnin Lowdown, became so popular that he compiled these memoirs into a riotously funny book. Here are some of the wild and crazy characters you ll meet in this one-of-a-kind autobiography: In Kissin Cousins, dig the Memphis blues club run by Jerry Lee Lewis vicious, inbred daughter (and 2nd cousin). This is a freak-filled fable of a family tree with only one branch! In Lightnin & The Snake Lady, you ll meet the elderly, alcoholic, ex-Burlesque stripper, Snake Lady, and witness her frightening fall from grace (and the stage). In The Fox and the Hound, learn more than you d ever want to know about LC s meeting with Ernest Hemingway s transvestite son. But there s more: In Stranger Than Fiction The Story Of Me, read about LC s early influences, and his mythic, love-at-first-sight story of how he met his wife. Famous Last Words lists the last words and epitaphs of Presidents, gangsters, death row inmates, military leaders, and celebrities. Some knew they were dying, and others, humorously, had absolutely no clue. Throw in some political tirades, and rants about the media, the music business, and the state of the union, and you ve got a book that will keep you happily cracking up for years to come, regardless of whether you re a music fan or not. Not only is it Lightnin Charlie s life story it s a story of life itself, with all its crazy twists and turns - and is part of The Greatest Story Ever Told. An absolute must read for anyone with soul in their bowl. Hilarious! Not only does Lightnin Charlie possess a very wry sense of humor and loquacious literary style, but on every subject, he is both painfully honest and tenderly compassionate. Off The Record presents an extraordinary variety of daily encounters that tell moving tales of all too ordinary madness. Outrageous and sad, poignant, politically incorrect, and most of all laugh-out-loud funny. Harmonica Todd Levine Chicago Bluesman Lightnin Charlie is an artist - painting a picture full of emotion with words, through his gift of storytelling. His satires, rants and raves, and his reflections on life have become a sensation on his website and are now complete in Off The Record. What amazes me is that no matter what soapbox Charlie finds himself on, his character and love for God always shines through. He is my friend and brother, and I always cheerfully anticipate his next passionate tirade! You, the reader, are in for a real treat. Pastor Elbert Charpie Lightnin Charlie delivers again! Off The Record gives us an inside look at the origins of his lifelong quest for making music (what he calls good music for good people ), and provides marvelous insights into the crazy carnival of events that made him into the man he is today. Wouldn t it be great if MORE Americans were so observant, in-tune, well versed, and hip-to-the-tip as Lightnin Charlie? I think so. And I believe they will be - after reading this book!

Download or read book Beyond Memory written by Max Mojapelo and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2008 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa possesses one of the richest popular music traditions in the world - from marabi to mbaqanga, from boeremusiek to bubblegum, from kwela to kwaito. Yet the risk that future generations of South Africans will not know their musical roots is very real. Of all the recordings made here since the 1930s, thousands have been lost for ever, for the powers-that-be never deemed them worthy of preservation. And if one peruses the books that exist on South African popular music, one still fi nds that their authors have on occasion jumped to conclusions that were not as foregone as they had assumed. Yet the fault lies not with them, rather in the fact that there has been precious little documentation in South Africa of who played what, or who recorded what, with whom, and when. This is true of all music-making in this country, though it is most striking in the musics of the black communities. Beyond Memory: Recording the History, Moments and Memories of South African Music is an invaluable publication because it offers a first-hand account of the South African music scene of the past decades from the pen of a man, Max Thamagana Mojapelo, who was situated in the very thick of things, thanks to his job as a deejay at the South African Broadcasting Corporation. This book - astonishing for the breadth of its coverage - is based on his diaries, on interviews he conducted and on numerous other sources, and we find in it not only the well-known names of recent South African music but a countless host of others whose contribution must be recorded if we and future generations are to gain an accurate picture of South African music history of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Book excerpt: "Throughout his various stages, Dylan's work reveals an affinity with the Zen worldview, where enlightenment can be attained through self-contemplation and intuition rather than through faith and devotion. Much has been made of Dylan's Christian periods, but never before has a book engaged Dylan's deep and rich oeuvre through a Buddhist lens."--Back cover.

Each fascinating character and each cunning tactic demonstrates a fundamental truth about who we are, and the targets we've become - or hope to win over. The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer on the essence of one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate power trip. From the internationally bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, and The 33 Strategies Of War.
Book Synopsis The Sound of the City by : Charlie Gillett
Download or read book The Sound of the City written by Charlie Gillett and published by Souvenir Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Gillett, a British journalist, loves the music, and his passion is evident throughout The Sound of the City. Yet the greatest strength of the book is the way Gillett tracks the resistance of the music industry to early rock-and-roll, which was followed (needless to say) by a frantic rush to engulf and devour it. When first published The Sound of the City was hailed as having 'never been bettered as the definitive history of rock' (Guardian). Now the classic history of rock and roll, has been revised and updated with over 75 historic archive photos. The text has been substantially revised to include newly discovered information and it is now 'the one essential work about the history of rock n' roll' (Jon Landau in Rolling Stone).

Book Synopsis Hear My Sad Story by : Richard Polenberg
Download or read book Hear My Sad Story written by Richard Polenberg and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, Bob Dylan said, "I learned lyrics and how to write them from listening to folk songs. And I played them, and I met other people that played them, back when nobody was doing it. Sang nothing but these folk songs, and they gave me the code for everything that's fair game, that everything belongs to everyone." In Hear My Sad Story, Richard Polenberg describes the historical events that led to the writing of many famous American folk songs that served as touchstones for generations of American musicians, lyricists, and folklorists. Those events, which took place from the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, often involved tragic occurrences: murders, sometimes resulting from love affairs gone wrong; desperate acts borne out of poverty and unbearable working conditions; and calamities such as railroad crashes, shipwrecks, and natural disasters. All of Polenberg’s account of the songs in the book are grounded in historical fact and illuminate the social history of the times. Reading these tales of sorrow, misfortune, and regret puts us in touch with the dark but terribly familiar side of American history. On Christmas 1895 in St. Louis, an African American man named Lee Shelton, whose nickname was "Stack Lee," shot and killed William Lyons in a dispute over seventy-five cents and a hat. Shelton was sent to prison until 1911, committed another murder upon his release, and died in a prison hospital in 1912. Even during his lifetime, songs were being written about Shelton, and eventually 450 versions of his story would be recorded. As the song—you may know Shelton as Stagolee or Stagger Lee—was shared and adapted, the emotions of the time were preserved, but the fact that the songs described real people, real lives, often fell by the wayside. Polenberg returns us to the men and women who, in song, became legends. The lyrics serve as valuable historical sources, providing important information about what had happened, why, and what it all meant. More important, they reflect the character of American life and the pathos elicited by the musical memory of these common and troubled lives.
