How very sad.. This is eight in two weeks.. GOD and his wisdom and leadership are needed more now; than ever... WE TOOK IT KIND OF EASY THIS MORNING.. LISTENED TO SOME NEWS.. HAD A GOOD DINNER THAT VICKI MADE AND THEN WE LEFT TO GO TO BRICKTOWN AREA TO THE “AMERICAN BANJO MUSEUM” .... WE LEARNED ABOUT THIS FACILITY AT TOWER GROVE PARK CONCERT IN SAINT LOUIS IN 2014.. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE AMERICAN BANJO MUSEUM, MR. JOHNNY BAIER, WAS THE BANJO PLAYER AND HE ADVERTISED IT FULLY. WE DECIDED RIGHT THEN, IF AND WHEN WE ARE IN OKC AGAIN, WE WILL VISIT THIS MUSEUM. SO TODAY WE DID IT... THE AMERICAN BANJO MUSEUM Containing more Banjo instruments on public display than any other collection in the world, the American Banjo Museum is a thoroughly modern facility devoted to a historically analog instrument. Considered as one of America's native instruments from African slave culture in the mid-1600s when the instrument was invented using gourds and animal skins, the banjo has been considered an integral part of American music for hundreds of years. This rich history is on display at the museum which features over 300 banjos ranging from handmade folk instruments, to tightly calibrated concert banjos. In addition to the wall-to-wall banjo collection the museum is interspersed with historic sheet music, and out-of-print records from forgotten banjo greats. The museum prides itself on its collection of ornate Jazz-era banjos, but its true pride should come from devoting its existence to a musical tradition that might otherwise have been forgotten. 8888888888888888 THE HISTORY STARTS WITH THE TEACHING OF YOUNG SLAVE KIDS BY THEIR PARENTS ON HOW TO PLAY A BANJO. GREAT AMERICAN HISTORY WELL PRESENTED. 888888888 WE THEN WENT THROUGH A HISTORY OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS: NONE LIKE OUR BANJO. JOEL SWEENEY Joel Walker Sweeney (1810 – October 29, 1860), also known as Joe Sweeney, was a musician and early Blackface Minstrel performer. He is known for popularizing the playing of the banjo, and was the FIRST DOCUMENTED WHITE BANJO PLAYER. Sweeney saw success, and by early 1843, he embarked on a European tour that included stops in London and Edinburgh. In July 1843, Sweeney played during entr’actes at the Adelphi Theatre in Edinburgh. Frank Brouwer of the Virginia Minstrels met him there and joined Sweeney's act as a bones player. THE LATE AND GREAT LES PAUL THE WIZARD OF WAUKESHA THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY OF THE INSTRUMENTS OF GREAT PLAYERS IN HISTORY. WOW! WHAT A DISPLAY! Type to enter text LES PAUL DEVELOPED AND INVENTED A WAY TO PUT AN ELECTRIC “PICK UP” IN AND ON THE BACK OF HIS BANJO. YES: INDEED A WIZARD.... EARL EUGENE SCRUGGS Earl Eugene Scruggs (January 6, 1924 – March 28, 2012) was an American musician noted for perfecting and popularizing a three-finger banjo-picking style (now called “Scruggs Style”) that is a defining characteristic of Bluegrass Music. Although other musicians had played in three-finger style before him, Scruggs shot to prominence when he was hired by Bill Monroe to fill the banjo slot in his group, The Blue Grass Boys. He later reached a mainstream audience through his performance of ”THE BALLAD OF JEB CLAMPETT”, the theme for the network television hit THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. in the early 1960s. THE EARL SCRUGGS CENTER The Earl Scruggs Center--Music & Stories from the American South opened January 11, 2014, in the historic court square of Cleveland County, in uptown Shelby, NC. The Earl Scruggs Center showcases the history and cultural traditions of the American South, and the unique musical contributions of Earl Scruggs, the region’s most pre-eminent ambassador of music. Envisioned as a cornerstone for regional, cultural, and economic development, the Center serves as a cultural crossroads for visitors, students, and residents. FICTION AND FACT FROM DON ALLEN’S ALMANAC I FIRST HEARD THE NAME OF EDDIE PEABODY WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE EARLY 1950’S.. THEN AFTER WE MARRIED IN EARLY 60’S, WE HAD TWO MAJOR TV SHOWS WE WATCHED IN BLACK & WHITE.. (WE DID NOT HAVE A COLOR TV).. ONE WAS ED SULLIVAN AND THE OTHER WAS LAWRENCE WELK.. EDDIE PEABODY WAS A STANDARD PERFORMER ON THE WELK SHOW.. I CAN REMEMBER SAYING: “GOSH, WHAT A TALENT”.. KEEP IN MIND, EDDIE HAD BEEN FAMOUS SINCE THE EARLY 1920s ... FOR A KID: YOU NEVER FORGET THE NAME OF “PEABODY”... IT BRINGS UP ALL KINDS OF CONNOTATIONS. EDDIE PEABODY Edwin Ellsworth Peabody, known as Eddie Peabody (February 19, 1902 – November 7, 1970) was an American banjo player, instrument developer, and musical entertainer whose career spanned five decades. He was the most famous of his era. Eddie Peabody, the "King of the banjo", was a superb banjoist and showman who defined how banjo could be played "chord melody" style. He started making music when he was a boy by playing the mandolin. As a young man he began to develop his unique banjo technique as early as 1920... In March 1916 at age 14 he enlisted in the U. S. NAVY by lying about his age. Peabody served in WWI on an S-14 submarine... After Peabody's 1921 discharge from the Navy, he began a long career in show business, beginning with Vaudeville. His successful recordings for the Columbia Company made him a household name. He visited England from 1929 until 1931 and again from 1937 until 1939, making several recordings for the Columbia and Decca companies. During his trips to England he helped to promote the banjo by visiting BMG clubs (Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar clubs) which were very active in the years up to WWII. He consequently toured across Europe shortly before hostilities began and was engaged in some covert U.S. Navy intelligence gathering activities by special request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He reported on the German build up and expansion of their power. In 1941, when the U.S.A entered the war, Eddie was called back to the navy and became an Officer of Entertainment, and was stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station as Director of music. He already held the rank of Lt. Commander and was instructed to enlist and train band musicians. He also took his musical act, with USO, to conflict areas across the Pacific to bring the servicemen "a touch of home". Eddie left the Navy In 1946 as a Captain, and went about restarting his concert career. Most of the Vaudeville halls had closed down and musical tastes had changed dramatically. However, in 1948, "I'm Looking Over A Four Leafed Clover", a tune from the 1920's, was resurrected by the Art Mooney Orchestra and it became a runaway hit, creating interest in both nostalgic music and the banjo. DOT records capitalized on this craze by signing Eddie and he made (13) thirteen albums for them up until the early 1960's, even producing two albums of how to play the banjo. In 1958 Dwight D. Eisenhower awarded him a distinguished People to People Award for his meritorious service in both the military and show business. Eddie kept his musical act contemporary and was employed for the rest of his life by entertaining in the many supper clubs that were popular in the U.S. at the time and he appeared on TV programs such as The Lawrence Welk Show. Eddie actively promoted the banjo and remained in the entertainment business all of his life. The banjo was synonymous with Eddie Peabody. Among one of his last musical highlights was starring in a successful touring show called "America Sings", which was sponsored by the Hamms Brewery. It was designed to inject patriotism into the community at a time of unrest, due to The anti Vietnam War & race riots which were happening in America. His very last concert was on November 6th 1970, at a supper club in Covington, Kentucky called "The Lookout House", where he suffered a stroke during his act. He passed away, 68 years old, the next morning in hospital. He left behind a musical legacy that plectrum banjo players still cherish today. 2015 HALL OF FAME LYNDON & LADY BIRD JOHNSON HAD “YOUR FATHER’S MUSTACHE” AT THE WHITE HOUSE IN OCTOBER 1963 FOR A “COMMAND PERFORMANCE.” MONDAY 18TH JULY “THE SIEBER” MIDTOWN PERFECT SPOT FOR WORK & PLAY 1300 NORTH HUDSON AVE OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 88888888888888 TO THE STATE CAPITOL TO THE COWBOY HERITAGE HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM... 88888888888888888888 OKLAHOMA STATE CAPITOL The Oklahoma State Capitol is the house of government Oklahoma.. It is the building that houses the Legislature and executive branch offices. It is located along Lincoln Boulevard in OKC. The present structure includes a dome completed in 2002. The building is a National Historic Landmark. Oklahoma's first capital was Guthrie, OK, but it moved to OKC in 1910. Construction began on the Oklahoma State Capitol in 1914 and was completed in 1917. Originally, it housed the judicial branch of Oklahoma, but the state's high courts moved most of their operations to the Oklahoma Judicial Center in 2011, leaving only the Supreme Court Hearing Chamber in the capitol building.

  • Mitchell Brothers – Vaudeville and Western
    Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 William Mitchell, his wife Pearl Mitchell, and John Mitchell 1 Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 Vaudeville was a favorite pastime for individuals seeking clean entertainment during the early part of the 20th century. The era of vaudeville was relatively short because of the creation of new technology. Vaudeville began around 1881 and began to fade in the early 1930s.1 The term vaudeville originated in France.2 It is thought that the term vaudeville was from “Old French vaudevire, short for chanson du Vaux de Vire, which meant popular satirical songs that were composed and presented during the 15th century in the valleys or vaux near the French town of Vire in the province of Normandy.”3 How did vaudeville begin? What was vaude- ville’s purpose and what caused its eventual collapse? This paper addresses the phenomenon of vaudeville — its rise, its stable but short lifetime, and its demise. Vaudeville was an outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution, which provided jobs for peo- ple and put money in their pockets.4 Because of increased incomes, individuals began to desire and seek clean, family entertainment.5 This desire was first satisfied by Tony Pastor, who is known as the “father of vaudeville.”6 In 1881 Pastor opened “Tony Pastor’s New Fourteenth Street Theatre” and began offering what he called variety entertainment.7 Later B. F. Keith, who is called the “founder of vaudeville,” opened a theater in Boston and expanded on Pastor’s original variety concept.8 Keith was the first to use the term “vaudeville” when he opened his theater in Boston in 1894.9 Keith later joined with E.

  • The Following Event Descriptions Are Presented for Your Edification and Clarification on What Is Being Represented and Celebrated in Bronze for Our Champions
    The following event descriptions are presented for your edification and clarification on what is being represented and celebrated in bronze for our champions. RODEO: Saddle Bronc Riding Saddle Bronc has been a part of the Calgary Stampede since 1912. Style, grace and rhythm define rodeo’s “classic” event. Saddle Bronc riding is a true test of balance. It has been compared to competing on a balance beam, except the “apparatus” in rodeo is a bucking bronc. A saddle bronc rider uses a rein attached to the horse’s halter to help maintain his seat and balance. The length of rein a rider takes will vary on the bucking style of the horse he is riding – too short a rein and the cowboy can get pulled down over the horse’s head. Of a possible 100 points, half of the points are awarded to the cowboy for his ride and spurring action. The other half of the points come from how the bronc bucks and its athletic ability. The spurring motion begins with the cowboy’s feet over the points of the bronc’s shoulders and as the horse bucks, the rider draws his feet back to the “cantle’, or back of the saddle in an arc, then he snaps his feet back to the horse’s shoulders just before the animal’s front feet hit the ground again. Bareback Riding Bareback has also been a part of the Stampede since 1912. In this event, the cowboy holds onto a leather rigging with a snug custom fit handhold that is cinched with a single girth around the horse – during a particularly exciting bareback ride, a rider can feel as if he’s being pulled through a tornado.

  • Trunk Contents
    Trunk Contents Hands-on Items Bandana – Bandanas, also known as "snot rags," came in either silk or cotton, with the silk being preferred. Silk was cool in the summer and warm in the winter and was perfect to strain water from a creek or river stirred up by cattle. Cowboys favored bandanas that were colorful as well as practical. With all the dust from the cattle, especially if you rode in the rear of the herd (drag), a bandana was a necessity. Shirt - The drover always carried an extra shirt, as 3,000 head of cattle kicked up a considerable amount of dust. The drovers wanted a clean shirt available on the off- chance that the cowboy would be sent to a settlement (few and far between) to secure additional supplies. Crossing rivers would get your clothes wet and cowboys would need a clean and dry shirt to wear. Many times they just went into the river without shirt and pants. For superstitious reasons many cowboys did not favor red shirts. Cuffs - Cuffs protected the cowboy's wrist from rope burns and his shirt from becoming frayed on the ends. Many cuffs were highly decorated to reflect the individual's taste. Students may try on these cuffs. 1 Trunk Contents Long underwear – Cowboys sometimes called these one-piece suits "long handles." They wore long underwear in summer and winter and often kept them on while crossing a deep river, which gave them a measure of modesty. Long underwear also provided extra warmth. People usually wore white or red "Union Suits" in the West.

  • EDDIE LANG – the FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 by Nick Dellow
    167 Eddie Lang Part One_Layout 1 05/09/2013 12:07 Page 1 EDDIE LANG – THE FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 By Nick Dellow Jazz musicians who live short lives often leave the deepest impressions. There is something about their immutable youth, echoed through the sound of distant recordings, that encapsulates the spirit of jazz. One thinks of Bix and Bubber, Murray and Teschemacher, and Lang and Christian. Of these, guitarist Eddie Lang left the largest recorded testament, spanning jazz, blues and popular music generally. Whether his guitar was imparting a rich chordal support for other instrumentalists, driving jazz and dance bands with rhythmic propulsion, or providing a sensitive backing for a variety of singers, Lang’s influence was pervasive. Django Reinhardt once said that Eddie Lang helped him to find his own way in music. Like his contemporary Bix Beiderbecke, Lang’s defining role as a musician was acknowledged early on in his career, and has been venerated ever since. As is often the case with musicians who are prolific, there are gaps in our knowledge. This article attempts to address some of these, with particular attention being paid to Lang’s early career. In the second part of the article the Mound City Blue Blowers’ visit to London in 1925 is discussed in detail, and possible recordings that Lang made during the band’s engagement at the Piccadilly Hotel are outlined and assessed. More generally, Lang’s importance as a guitarist is set in context against the background of the guitar’s role in early jazz and dance music.
