  • That Historical Plague Was Pure Epidemics of Primary Pneumonic Plague
    CHAPTER THIRTEEN GUNNAR KARLSSON’S ALTERNATIVE THEORY: THAT HISTORICAL PLAGUE WAS PURE EPIDEMICS OF PRIMARY PNEUMONIC PLAGUE Introduction G. Karlsson presented his alternative theory to the international com- munity of scholars in a paper published in Journal of Medieval History in 1996 where he argues that two late medieval epidemics in Iceland and more generally that plague in medieval Europe were pure epidem- ics of primary pneumonic plague.1 For his epidemiological interpreta- tion, Karlsson bases his alternative theory directly on Morris’s assertion of the occurrence of pure epidemics of primary pneumonic plague, a modality of plague disease spread by interhuman cross-infection by droplets. Th e concept of a pure epidemic of primary pneumonic plague implies that the origin of the epidemic is not a case of bubonic plague which develops secondary pneumonia but a case in which the fi rst vic- tim contracted pneumonic plague directly by inhalation of infected droplets into the lungs. Karlsson’s paper follows quite closely and draws heavily on a paper he published together with S. Kjartansson in an Icelandic journal in 1994 on two supposed plague epidemics in Iceland in 1402–4 and 1494–5 respectively.2 He is clear about its objective: “Th e present article [as the fi rst in Icelandic] can be seen as a defence of the late Jón Steff ensen against Benedictow’s critique of his conclusions,” namely, that these epidemics, and also the Black Death of 1348–9 in Norway were primary pneumonic plague.3 Th us, the central feature of Karlsson’s (and Karlsson’s and Kjartansson’s) paper on the two supposed plague epidemics in fi ft eenth-century Iceland is a comprehensive and sharp criticism of my doctoral thesis (1993, repr.

  • Jesse Dayton – Mixtape Volume 1
    Jesse Dayton – Mixtape Volume 1 “If you open your arms to the world, it’s amazing what will come back atcha,” drawls East Texas native, singer/songwriter/filmmaker/author Jesse Dayton, who has a bunch more homespun wisdoms where that came from. A veteran of more than 30 years as a musician, Dayton was discovered as a young teenager playing “a toilet dive” in his hometown of Beaumont by legendary club owner Clifford Antone, who booked him into his famed Austin venue, then immediately shifted him over to the honky-tonk Broken Spoke, where the likes of Willie Nelson, George Strait and Ernest Tubb have had residencies. “When I first got to Austin, everybody else sounded like Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I sounded more like Jerry Reed. I didn’t think I was cool, either, because this was before every punk sported that image of Johnny Cash flipping the rod.” Equally steeped in Texas/Louisiana blues, old-school country and punk-rock, Dayton is the music world’s best-kept secret, hiding in plain sight as a guitarist for Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Ryan Bingham and L.A. punk pioneers X, as well as touring alongside Social Distortion, the Supersuckers and John Doe. After releasing 11 studio albums and an EP as a solo artist, Dayton’s new album, Mixtape Volume 1, is a series of 10 cover songs he thoroughly makes his own, reinterpreting and revisiting them in a brand-new way. On the first track and single, Jackson Browne’s “Redneck Friend”, Dayton takes the song to a place where it would be eQually at home on the first two Eagles albums or as a Rolling Stones collaboration with Gram Parsons.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).

    JESSE DAYTON + GIRLS, GUNS & GLORY Tener en un escenario español a una de las leyendas de la música tejana no ocurre todos los días. Esa es una de las razones por las que te citamos el próximo martes, 7 de Noviembre, a ver a Jesse Dayton en formato de trío en la sala Boite de Madrid (calle Tetuán, 27) y con Girls, Guns & Glory como banda invitada. JESSE DAYTON Uno de los mitos de la guitarra afincado en Austin, en el estado de Texas, es Jesse Dayton.Criado en Beaumont, otra legendaria ciudad tejana, creció con el honkytonk más tradicional de George Jones, Hank Williams y Lefty Frizzell, junto al blues de Lightnin' Hopkins, decantándose por liderar un par de bandas de rockabilly a finales de los 80 y primeros 90, como fueron los Roadkings y los Alamo Jets. Su versatilidad para pasar de las raíces country al rockabilly desbocado, sin olvidar el blues y las influencias fronterizas, llamó la atención de gigantes del country como Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings o Glen Campbell, que contrataron sus servicios en directo y en estudio. Su carrera en solitario le devolvió al equilibrio de sus grandes influencias, aunque a veces se permite ciertas licencias.Su último álbum es TheRevealer, con un sonido fronterizo que será el punto de encuentro de una nueva Huercasa Nights. Nos visita ahora en directo con su trío y promete un concierto vertiginoso de música 100% americana. GIRLS, GUNS & GLORY Girls, Guns & Glory es una banda procedente de Boston que preserva la elegancia de la escena de la capital del estado de Massachusetts con influencias de clásicos del rock ‘n’ roll como los Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison y Buddy Holly, sin olvidar su devoción por el country clásico enmarcado en la figura de Hank Williams.

  • Rainfall in West Central Africa
    Rainfall in West Central Africa By Samuel Mbele-Mbong Department ofAtmospheric Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado This progress report was prepared with support from the National Science Foundation (Contract No. GA-29147) Principal investigator: E.R. Reiter April 1974 RAINFALL IN WEST CENTRAL AFRICA By SAMUEL MBELE-MBONG This progress report was prepared with support from The National Science Foundation (Contract No. GA 29147) Principal Investigator: E. R. Reiter Department of Atmospheric Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado April, 1974 Atmospheric Science Paper No. 222 ABSTRACT An estimation of the relative importance of various factors to the rainfall in West Central Africa has been attempted. The factors con­ sidered were tropical waves, monsoon depressions, the position of the intertropical discontinuity (ITO) and the tropical easterly jet stream (TEJ) of summer. Eleven years (1954-1964) of daily rainfall amounts at 20 stations in Cameroun, Central African Republic, Congo, Gabon and Tchad were analyzed using spectral and cross spectral methods. The spectral results revealed the presence, at nearly all stations, of wavelike oscillations with periods ranging from 2.03 to 10.25 days, and periods of about 40 days or longer. Oscillations with periods 2.58 to 4.21 days and those with periods 40 days or longer showed significant coherence magnitudes and propagated from East to West with approximate wave lengths of 500 and 2000 km, respectively. Oscillations with periods 2.58 to 4.21 days have been interpreted as cloud clusters, very likely of the "disturbance line" type which usually associate with easterly waves. Oscillations with period 40 days have been tentatively interpreted as major rain-generating disturbances, perhaps of the monsoon depression type which are observed over the region in the summer months (June through September) when most of the rains fall.
