Tyne and Wear Malden, MO 63863-1210 USA Virginia Carpenter NE 25 8 BB Vice President England October 2004 Newsletter Malden, Missouri October, 2004 Well Hello There, I hope all is well with you and yours. We’re doing well. At the start of this year, I told my Manager Harold Boner that ideally I’d like to back off to doing a show every other weekend. Since then I’ve wound up doing more than that, closer to 3 per month. Since trying to back off, my shows have been more successful, bigger crowds, longer autograph lines, more CD sales. At the end of May something happened to my voice on a show in Michigan. I got through the show fi ne but when I walked to the autograph line immediately afterward, I could barely talk! I could barley talk the following day and the day after that. It then got better but remained very hoarse. I thought, it’ll be well by my next weekend’s show, but it wasn’t. With hoarseness persisting I fi nally went to a throat specialist in mid July when I returned from England. He said I’d had a mild hemorrhage on a vocal chord but it was almost healed. Thankfully I didn’t have to miss any shows and I hit every note on the ones I did. My voice is now pretty much back to normal. In the process I found I have signifi cant hearing loss in both ears. I got my 2 hearing aids, now I’m hearing sounds I’d forgotten existed. One of the greatest singers who ever lived had to wear hearing aids, Johnnie Ray. September 14th was 9 years since Loretta and I lost our only son Albert Narvel “Bub” Felts, Jr. at age 31. Son, we miss you –even now. I’ll now take you through the months since my last letter and on a trip back in time with me to: 1999, 1989, 1979, 1969 and 1959.

  • Burn Baby Burn Muziek Op Cd Zetten Gratis Epub, Ebook
    BURN BABY BURN MUZIEK OP CD ZETTEN GRATIS Auteur: Vet Martijn Aantal pagina's: 191 pagina's Verschijningsdatum: 9999-01-01 Uitgever: Pearson Benelux EAN: 9789043011945 Taal: nl Link: Download hier De 100 grootste jaren 70 hits Shoemaker houdt van een lekker vol geluid, maar overdrijft dit gelukkig nergens. De kracht van zijn muziek schuilt in de eenvoud. Zijn liedjes bestaan uit simpele, catchy melodieën die zich onmiddellijk in je hoofd nestelen. Shoemaker heeft de songs voorzien van een sobere, hechte productie waarin zijn gitaarspel, net als zijn stem, licht schurend de boventoon voeren. Daarnaast komt er af en toe, als aangename accent, een orgeltje, een bluesharp of een diepdonkere gospelstem om de hoek, om de downtempo liedjes even licht op te tillen. En de muzikanten? Luister naar de samenstelling van zijn band en het water loopt je in de mond: Tommy MacLuckie electric guitar, harmony vocal , Trina Shoemaker harmony vocal, shaker, backing vocal , Ryan Donohue bass , Michael Barras drums , Trevor Brooks piano, organ , John Milham drums , Rosalind Gonsalver harmony vocal , Daro n Douglas violin en Mike Voelker drums. Begeleid door deze rockers verhaalt Capps op klassieke wijze over tal van vreemde vogels die het zuiden bevolken, zoals muzikante Washboard Lisa en cr azy Bobby Long, hij bezingt dus vooral de zelfkant van de samenleving, onderwerpen van iedereen en van alle tijden. Deze twaalf songs zijn allemaal hoogtepunten. Kortweg : Op "If You Knew My Mind" staan songs die diep geworteld zijn in de New Orleans-traditie en daarom in de collectie van geen enkele roots-liefhebber mogen ontbreken, gewoon een super-intense prachtplaat! De maanden september en oktober zullen, wat mij betreft, door het leven gaan als een overkill aan American Roots muziek releases.

Ted Harrison IV Vice President .......... Edward Redwinski Jr. Secretary ............... Katie Harrison Treasurer............... Nancy Keslick Asst. Treasurer .......... Amber Rennard President’s Letter It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 70th Annual Goshen Country Fair. In the 70 years that the fair and the fire company have been in existence a lot has changed in the area surrounding these fairgrounds. One thing that has remained constant is that the community continues to come together to put on the Goshen Country Fair in an effort to raise funds for the Goshen Fire Company. So I encourage you to come join us for a good old fashioned fair. I look forward to seeing you. Ted Harrison IV President,Goshen Country Fair The Idea for the Goshen Country Fair In the late 1940s an idea was brewing in the minds of a few men in Goshen Heights - a hamlet off Rt-3 knows as East Mill- town by the Red Arrow trolley line which ran from 69th Street to West Chester. Their concern was fire protection being four miles from West Chester’s volunteer fire companies. Conversations started on how to start their own fire company. Many evening they met to discuss the need, progressing in to the how. I have a memory of these discussions in our cellar as my father, George Parry, painted Venetian blind slats! Since this was over 70 years ago, I don’t remember (or never knew) details, but it was decided to hold a fair to raise money to start a Volunteer Fire Company.

  • The Eddie Cochran Story
    SHOW OF STARS 95 bassist Emory Gordy, who'd go on to play with or produce Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Roy Orbison, and George Jones; drummer Dennis St. John, who'd later work with Neil Diamond, Carole Bayer Sager, and the Band; and keyboardist Spooner Oldham, who'd played with Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett, and Aretha Franklin and who'd later work with Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Jackson Browne. Kindred was persistent. I recommended to them some great players; they'd decided that only I would do. Since they were already signed to Warner Brothers and had tremendous touring and recording potential, I decided to join them, recording a pair of Kindred albums in 1971 and 1972 and touring throughout America and Canada opening for Three Do,g Night. Through our shared management connection, I soon got a call from Jerry Edmonton, the drummer from Steppenwolf. They want ­ ed me to join their band. I stayed for three albums and four years as the group's lead guitarist, one of its songwriters , and a co-lead and backing vocalist. Toward the end of my tenure with "the Wolf," I received a call from the Flying Burrito Brothers, the country-rock outfit founded by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman of the Byrds. They needed a guitarist for a two -week tour. I went down to the rehearsal hall, jammed with the group, and found myself a Burrito for the next fourteen months. Like Uncle Ed in his brief lifetime, I have played with a plethora of artists-from obscure to superstars­ and try to take something of value away from every musical expe­ rience.
