Book Synopsis Ozarks Fiddle Music by : DREW BEISSWENGER
Download or read book Ozarks Fiddle Music written by DREW BEISSWENGER and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which includes 308 tune transcriptions, is organized around individual fiddlers who typically combine Appalachian-style fiddling with rags, pop standards, Midwest-style fiddling and sometimes a touch of Western swing to create a style often identifiable as Ozarks. Thirty Ozarks fiddlers and their lives are highlighted with biographical sketches, photographs, and tune histories. Another 50 great Ozarks fiddlers are presented in a similar manner but with less detail. the book and accompanying CD (with 37 tunes, many recorded in the field) emphasize the older fiddling traditions connected to the square dances and community events more than those connected to bluegrass music and modern contest fiddling. Some of the tunes in the collection are old standbys such as Bile Them Cabbage while others such as Finley Creek Blues are unique to the region.The book is the result of years of work by two respected researchers. Gordon McCann won the prestigious Missouri Arts Award in 2002 for his decades of work documenting, studying, and accompanying Ozarks fiddle music. Drew Beisswenger, a music librarian at Missouri State University with a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology, has published three other works about fiddle music and is known for his strong transcription and analysis skills.
Book Synopsis Great New American Short Stories by : Robert Voyles
Download or read book Great New American Short Stories written by Robert Voyles and published by Hallmark Emporium Publishing. This book was released on 1998-09 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what constitutes American, since the United States is such a melting pot, but this collection of nine short stories does capture the American experience. Perhaps diversity is what makes Great New American Short Stories so good.Voyles' stories are about the rich, the poor, the educated, the street-smart. They are written from a wide variety of experiences. For instance, one story is a witty tale of a quiet man's revenge on a nosy neighbor, while another is a lottery-winning man's revenge on his nagging wife. What if you found a suitcase full of money? What if you came face-to-face with someone you'd just vented your road rage upon? What if you were a prisoner in quarantine? In Me and Frank Cash at Camp Goode, the author writes about one man's experience in South Korea while in the Army. In The Rosebush, a woman's favorite adopted daughter dies unexpectedly. The mother plants a rosebush by her daughter's grave and tends to it lovingly. The story is told from another daughter's point of view.Voyles writes with the authenticity of the characters in mind.

Book Synopsis Easy Riders Raging Bulls by : Peter Biskind
Download or read book Easy Riders Raging Bulls written by Peter Biskind and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969, a low-budget biker movie, Easy Rider, shocked Hollywood with its stunning success. An unabashed celebration of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll (onscreen and off), Easy Rider heralded a heady decade in which a rebellious wave of talented young filmmakers invigorated the movie industry. In Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind takes us on the wild ride that was Hollywood in the '70s, an era that produced such modern classics as The Godfather, Chinatown, Shampoo, Nashville, Taxi Driver, and Jaws. Easy Riders, Raging Bulls vividly chronicles the exuberance and excess of the times: the startling success of Easy Rider and the equally alarming circumstances under which it was made, with drugs, booze, and violent rivalry between costars Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda dominating the set; how a small production company named BBS became the guiding spirit of the youth rebellion in Hollywood and how, along the way, some of its executives helped smuggle Huey Newton out of the country; how director Hal Ashby was busted for drugs and thrown in jail in Toronto; why Martin Scorsese attended the Academy Awards with an FBI escort when Taxi Driver was nominated; how George Lucas, gripped by anxiety, compulsively cut off his own hair while writing Star Wars, how a modest house on Nicholas Beach occupied by actresses Margot Kidder and Jennifer Salt became the unofficial headquarters for the New Hollywood; how Billy Friedkin tried to humiliate Paramount boss Barry Diller; and how screenwriter/director Paul Schrader played Russian roulette in his hot tub. It was a time when an "anything goes" experimentation prevailed both on the screen and off. After the success of Easy Rider, young film-school graduates suddenly found themselves in demand, and directors such as Francis Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, George Lucas, and Martin Scorsese became powerful figures. Even the new generation of film stars -- Nicholson, De Niro, Hoffman, Pacino, and Dunaway -- seemed a breed apart from the traditional Hollywood actors. Ironically, the renaissance would come to an end with Jaws and Star Wars, hugely successful films that would create a blockbuster mentality and crush innovation. Based on hundreds of interviews with the directors themselves, producers, stars, agents, writers, studio executives, spouses, and ex-spouses, this is the full, candid story of Hollywood's last golden age. Never before have so many celebrities talked so frankly about one another and about the drugs, sex, and money that made so many of them crash and burn. By turns hilarious and shocking, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is the ultimate behind-the-scenes account of Hollywood at work and play.

Book excerpt: Exploring the universe at the helm of a flashy ship was supposed to be the dream, but now it’s an ongoing nightmare for Noa. All but exiled from his loved ones, he’s too far away when they need him most. The guilt and stress has finally broken him, though, and he’s abandoned his mission to go home. But running from one horror sends him crashing into a new one. And this time, he can’t escape. It’s Noa Matene’s impeccable flight record which earns him the toughest missions the FGIA has to offer. But it’s also what keeps him confined to the farthest reaches of the known universe, separated from everyone he loves for months and years at a time. He’s well equipped to handle the solitude—until he has to watch from a distance while he nearly loses what’s most important to him. Broken by fear, he goes rogue to take back control of his life. He’s determined to make a change, no matter the consequences, to keep the promises he’s made, even if it means giving up a lifetime of work. There are more important things than missions and acclaim. Like the one he almost lost, the one who’s waiting for him. Everything he’s dreamed of is nearly in his grasp. Until his hopes and dreams come crashing down, along with his incapacitated ship. No longer a member of the Explorer corps, Skylar Chambers is happy as a navigation officer on the SB Eltanin. Spared the rigors and crushing loneliness of uncharted space, he prefers the more predictable routine of life on a base, with his daily expensive coffee habit and his small group of friends. His days aren’t exciting anymore, but he likes it that way. The only thing that would make life better would be having his best friend back in it, but Noa’s doing important work and Skylar would never ask him to give it up. When his happy mundane bubble bursts with the arrival of a couple of horrifying maydays, though, Skylar’s flung back into the chaotic whirlwind of space travel. Accepting the rescue mission which puts him back in the pilot’s seat, he hopes he can vanquish the mental demons which drove him out in the first place. This time, it’s more than his life on the line. Not even countless light years of space can keep these two souls apart. Noa and Skylar were always meant to be together, and neither of them is willing to succumb to the wild whims of fate. Despite their determination, though, circumstances beyond their control are sending them down the same fraught path their friends already trod. If history repeats itself, two more friends might go missing. They might never get home again. This work is intended for a mature audience and contains mature content.
