Book Synopsis Last of the Saddle Tramps by : Messanie Wilkins
Download or read book Last of the Saddle Tramps written by Messanie Wilkins and published by Long Riders Guild Press. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically the world of equestrian travel has contained an exciting mixture of unique men and women. Some are adventurers seeking danger from the back of their horses. Others are travelers discovering the beauties of the countryside they slowly ride through. A few are searching for inner truths while cantering across desolate parts of the planet. Then there is Messanie Wilkins. She was acting on orders from the Lord! In 1954, at the age of 63, Wilkins had plenty to worry about. A destitute spinster in ill health, Wilkins had been told she had less than two years left to live, provided she spent them quietly. With no family ties, no money, and no future in her native Maine, Wilkins decided to take a daring step. Using the money she had made from selling homemade pickles, Wilkins bought a tired summer camp horse and made preparations to ride from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific Ocean. Yet before leaving she flipped a coin, asking God to direct her to go or not. When the coin came up heads several times in a row, one of America s most unlikely equestrian heroines set off. What followed was one of the twentieth century's most remarkable equestrian journeys. Accompanied by her faithful horse, Tarzan, Wilkins suffered through a host of obstacles including blistering deserts and freezing snow storms, yet never lost faith that she would complete her 7,000 mile odyssey. Last of the Saddle Tramps is thus the warm and humorous story of a humble American heroine bound for adventure and the Pacific Ocean. The classic tale is amply illustrated with photographs.

Book Synopsis The Jazz of the Southwest by : Jean A. Boyd
Download or read book The Jazz of the Southwest written by Jean A. Boyd and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They may wear cowboy hats and boots and sing about "faded love," but western swing musicians have always played jazz! From Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys to Asleep at the Wheel, western swing performers have played swing jazz on traditional country instruments, with all of the required elements of jazz, and some of the best solo improvisation ever heard. In this book, Jean A. Boyd explores the origins and development of western swing as a vibrant current in the mainstream of jazz. She focuses in particular on the performers who made the music, drawing on personal interviews with some fifty living western swing musicians. From pioneers such as Cliff Bruner and Eldon Shamblin to current performers such as Johnny Gimble, the musicians make important connections between the big band swing jazz they heard on the radio and the western swing they created and played across the Southwest from Texas to California. From this first-hand testimony, Boyd re-creates the world of western swing-the dance halls, recording studios, and live radio shows that broadcast the music to an enthusiastic listening audience. Although the performers typically came from the same rural roots that nurtured country music, their words make it clear that they considered themselves neither "hillbillies" nor "country pickers," but jazz musicians whose performance approach and repertory were no different from those of mainstream jazz. This important aspect of the western swing story has never been told before.

Book Synopsis Things I Have Saw and Did by : Danny Andrews
Download or read book Things I Have Saw and Did written by Danny Andrews and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Things I Have Saw and Did”—the title derived from a grammatically challenged sports officiating friend—is a compilation of some 250 stories gleaned from Danny Andrews’s diverse life experiences. He has been a journalist, including 39 years of column, news, feature and sports writing for The Plainview, Texas, Daily Herald; sports broadcaster, sports official and basketball magazine publisher; involved in a variety of community organizations; an active Christian layman; and, for the past eight years, the alumni director at his alma mater, Wayland Baptist University. The stories include his family; growing-up years in Plainview; longtime friends and chance encounters with celebrities; experiences in school and Wayland; playing, officiating, reporting on, and broadcasting sports; interesting Herald and Hearst newspaper colleagues and experiences; faith, church and mission ventures; and a collection of miscellaneous tales. Andrews says he’s been “Thinking Out Loud” (the title of his Herald column for 28 years and his musings for the Wayland alumni magazine) since his formal journalism career began almost 50 years ago. He brings his subjects to life with vivid detail, humor and pathos, hoping to foster in readers memories of their own similar experiences, to take them vicariously to meet with presidents in the White House, confront cantankerous newspaper readers, share humorous glimpses of sports officiating and broadcasting, relate tales that prove this is a small world after all and, perhaps, encourage their own faith journey.
