  • Million Dollar Quartet” by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux at the Hippodrome Theatre Through December 2
    “Million Dollar Quartet” By Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux At the Hippodrome Theatre through December 2 By James Cooper MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS … PRODUCTION Flashing lights, shimmering jackets and long musical solos radiate through the production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” now at the Hippodrome Theatre. Though the special effects and costumes are beneficial in some instances, the show lacks emphasis in the one area it should stress the most: the music. The whole story focuses on the decisions of four major musicians from the 1950s: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Music is the main concept within the script, but it certainly isn’t the main concept within the performance. The show focuses on a single event: the night that all four musicians of the “Million Dollar Quartet” were present in the same space at the same time, the Sun Records Studio in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Elvis (Cody Slaughter) used to be a member of the Sun Records family but then he switched to RCA, a bigger label. Since this change, Elvis has lost contact with his former producer, Sam Phillips (Vince Nappo). As Elvis returns with his girlfriend Dyanne (Kelly Lamont) he makes it clear to Sam that he wishes he had stayed at Sun. Sam too wishes that Elvis had stayed, but his main focus is now on producing Johnny (David Elkins) and the up-and-coming Jerry Lee (Martin Kaye). All the while Carl (Robert Britton Lyons) has to decide whether or not he wants to leave Sun Records or move on to Columbia.

  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.

There was great controversy about the way Elvis sang and performed and about who he was. World War II and the Korean War and all other problems had never been discussed with such enthusiasm as was the arguments about who Elvis was and what his music was about. I could see from personal experience that something was happening and I wanted to understand what. And I'm still asking the question about what that was.

  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

  • Creativity & Cultural Production in the Hunter
    An applied ethnographic study of Creativity & Cultural new entrepreneurial systems in the Production in the Hunter creative industries. Newcastle The University of Newcastle I April 2019, ARC Grant LP 130100348 Now AuslnilianGon ,rnment ���;�Busmess nt Ai&i1rall1.11Rtu1n:bCou11dl 6. MUSIC 6.1 Introduction This part of the report outlines the history, structure, business models, operational methods and important personnel associated with each sector. This section outlines the music industry in Australia (Cunningham & Turnbull 2014) before looking specifically at the music industry in the Hunter region. It locates the current Hunter Region music scene within Australian music history particularly in relation to the European tradition, specifically the American and British music traditions. Of note is the fact that the ongoing digital revolution continues to reshape the industry, its composition, songwriting, recording, performance and business modes. Structurally the music industry is comprised of three major and related sectors i.e. publishing, recording and live performance. There are ancillary sectors as well such as manufacturing, retail and media which are interconnected with the three major sectors. There are various business models used within these sectors. The operational methods are both formal (e.g. use of contracts, performance schedules etc.) and informal (e.g. adherence to a gift economy). Its most important personnel include songwriters, composers, musicians, managers, touring crews, venue operators, agents, promoters, producers, engineers, publishers, A&R operatives and, of course, the audience. 6.2 A Brief History of the Music Industry in Australia. The music industry in the Hunter is a local variant of a much larger national and global one (Miller & Shahriari 2012).

  • Mark Duffett, University of Chester, UK
    . Volume 9, Issue 2 November 2012 Boosting Elvis: A content analysis of editorial stories from one fan club magazine Mark Duffett, University of Chester, UK Abstract There is a tendency in fan studies research to ignore the offline and contingent activities and concerns of organized fan cultures. After introducing the community of English-speaking Elvis Presley fan clubs, this article presents findings from a study of 240 editorial stories from one fan club magazine written over the course of a decade. Results show that under the banner of supporting the memory of their hero, fans participate in a diverse and vibrant living culture and they pursue a wide variety of activities. In order to understand their practice of ‘boosting’ (Barbas 2008), the empirical results are framed with a discussion of Durkheim’s (1912) theory of religion. I argue that keeping Elvis’s memory alive, for fans, means actively maintaining the magnitude of the fan base. Keywords: Elvis Presley, fandom, living culture, boosterism, Durkheim, religion. Introduction For over twenty years, fan studies have been a way to explore audience participation with a media text… The evolution of fan studies, however, has reached a critical moment: traditional studies of media fandom in the digital age seem inadequately equipped to describe and analyse what I call the ‘philosophy of playfulness’ we can observe in fans’ use of today’s digital technology. (Booth 2010, 1-2) What are the specific, historical concerns of fan communities? In the 1990s, various ethnographers explored such questions.1 Since then, with few exceptions, book-length accounts of offline fan communities have been much less prominent.

  • Whose Song Is That? Searching for Equity and Inspiration for Musi
    Chisolm: Whose Song Is That? Searching For Equity and Inspiration For Musi Whose Song Is That? Searching For Equity and Inspiration For Music Vocalists Under the Copyright Act Tuneen E. Chisolm6 19 YALE J.L. & TECH. 274 (2017) This article examines some of the inherent inequities that exist for music vocalists under the United States Copyright Act and related music industry practices, due to the limited scope of protection given to sound recordings and the absence of an express inclusion of nondramatic music performance as a protected work under Section 102(a). It argues for expansion of the rights afforded to include, for musicvocalists with respect to nondramatic works, an inalienable copyright, separatefrom the sound recording copyright, based upon a sole right of authorship in their performance as an applied composition, oncefixed. It alsoargues for a restriction of thesound recording copyright to limit derivative works thereof to use of the integrated whole, thereby enabling thevocalist to control the use of an isolated vocal performance and the resulting applied composition embodied therein. eTuneen E.
