Download or read book Kalamazoo Gals written by John Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to company lore, Gibson, the guitar manufacturer, had ceased guitar production during World War II with only "seasoned craftsmen" too old for battle doing repairs and completing the few instruments already in progress at their Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. However, beginning in 1942, Gibson started producing wartime guitars each marked with a small, golden "banner" displaying the slogan: "only a Gibson is good enough." Over 9000 of these "Banner" guitars were produced between 1942 and 1945 and they are considered to be some of the finest acoustic guitars ever produced but who was making them? In this work of musical and social history, Thomas explores the origins of the Gibson "Banner" guitars and the remarkable women, many of whom had no prior training in instrument construction, who built them.

Book Synopsis Heart Full of Soul by : David French
Download or read book Heart Full of Soul written by David French and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length biography of Keith Relf, frontman for the Yardbirds and one of the great tragic characters in rock history. Keith's moody vocals and harmonica helped to define the Yardbirds' sound on a string of innovative hit records in the 1960s that influenced garage rock, psychedelia, blues rock, hard rock and heavy metal. Numerous books have been written about the Yardbirds' famous guitarists--Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page--yet Keith has remained a mysterious and elusive figure since his death by electrocution at age 33. A deeply private person, prone to depression and poor health, Keith was ill-suited to the life of a rock star. In the years following the Yardbirds' breakup, as the band's guitarists became household names playing blues-based rock, Keith insisted on pursuing new musical paths, always searching for something new and trying to extend the Yardbirds' spirit of curiosity and innovation. By the time of his death in 1976, Keith was nearly forgotten and struggling physically, emotionally and financially. More than forty years after his tragic death, this important artist's story has finally been written and his contributions celebrated as more than just a footnote to the careers of his better-known bandmates.

Download or read book America's Gift written by Paul Merry and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why untold? Most blues histories, outstanding as they are, take us back to the late 1890s but rarely further. As South Carolina's Cradle of Jazz Project wrote: "From the end of the dances at Congo Square (c. 1820) to the beginning of jazz, there is a black hole ... when the old West African music slowly turned into the new music of America." America's Gift was written expressly to illuminate that 'black hole', to discover exactly what happened to America's slave music in the 19th century, and how it evolved during the centuries before. Why untold? First we examine the origins of Africa's ancient slave trade, the West's involvement with slavery from the 1400s, and how America's first Africans were pirated from Portuguese slavers. We tell how the musical rhythms of old Africa absorbed the melodies of white America, in the 17th and 18th centuries. We explain how various musical strands intertwined over those centuries, to finally create a music only named blues in 1912. Why untold? Such historical information is usually only available in isolation. America's Gift pieces the story together like a jigsaw puzzle, yet avoids the blues minutia and academic intensity often found in histories of 20th century blues. Not avoided are the 19th century's distasteful minstrel and coon song periods. Often cut from blues histories these days, these genres are so essential to blues' evolution. In America's Gift, facts are not overruled by political correctness.Why untold? Discover how and where the term 'blues' evolved and how it reached America. Find out how only white singers recorded blues in America, from 1914 to 1920, and why black singers didn't want to sing blues. America's Gift tells you who-did-what-first in the years leading up to and into the blues era, and the genres they did it in. It is the first book, to our knowledge, to link American sea shanties to the evolution of the blues.Why untold? America's Gift discovers blues recorded in London by African Americans three years BEFORE the generally-accepted date of 1920. It tracks down the earliest known African Americans playing the folk music later called blues, and what they sang. It discloses who published and recorded what blues song first, who recorded the first blues guitar, first guitar solo, first slide guitar, first harmonica, first country blues and first electric guitar blues, even earlier sometimes than previously thought. Why untold? Read about the great blues dispute of 1938 where two blues giants argued over the genre's past. America's Gift gives you the full blues story up to the 1950s. On the way it selects 20 rocking blues tracks that pre-empted rock 'n' roll. These date from 1936 to 1949, years before the oft-cited Rocket 88 in 1952.America's Gift is illustrated, nearly a foot tall and an inch thick, with 367 pages of easy-to-read type and a 21-page index. It has been described as a "lightening read", just in case you're thinking it might be a bit stodgy.
