Biographie Willie Nelson 1 BIOGRAPHIE ARTICLE par ROLAND ROTH CMW ( Country Music World ) http://www.country-music-world.net ICCGE ( Interclubs Country du Grand Est ) http://www.interclubs-country-grand-est.com WILLIE NELSON SA VIE / SA CARRIÈRE Le genre de musique de Willie Nelson est la Country, la Country- Rock, la Country-Folk, l’Outlaw Country et l’Alternative- Country. Il est interprète, musicien, auteur-compositeur, producteur, acteur et aussi activiste. 2 Willie Hugh Nelson est né le 30 avril 1933 à Abbott, près de Fort Worth au Texas. Sa mère était Myrle Marie (née Greenhaw) et son père Ira Doyle Nelson travaillait comme mécanicien. La famille rurale et sans moyens de Willie Nelson a quitté l’Arkansas pour le Texas pendant la grande dépression de 1929. Son grand-père William était forgeron. Sa mère quitta rapidement le domicile conjugal après sa naissance et son père se remaria et déménagea, en laissant Willie à ses grands-parents qui ont tous les deux étudié la musique le soir, par des cours par correspondance, afin d’élever Willie et sa sœur Bobbie. A l’âge de 6 ans, son grand-père lui offrit une guitare et lui a appris quelques accords puis il a eu des cours de musique. Willie avec sa sœur Bobbie chantaient des chansons Gospel dans l’église de la ville. A 7 ans, il écrivit sa première chanson et chanta dans un groupe local, les « Bohemian Polka » à l’âge de 9 ans. Dans sa jeunesse, autour de 13 ans, comme beaucoup d’habitants du comté en été, Willie et sa famille cueillaient du coton et en alternative pour se faire un peu d’argent, il chantait dans les Dancehalls, bars et Honky Tonks locaux. Il fut influencé, pendant son enfance, par la musique de Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Ernest Tubb, Django Reinhardt, Ray Price et Hank Snow. Son beau-frère Bud Fletcher l’invitera à rejoindre un groupe « The Bohemian Fiddlers » composé par Ira Nelson (guitare rythmique et fiddle), Bobbie Nelson (piano), Whistle Watson (batterie), Joe Andrews (basse), et Willie Nelson (guitare et chant). Après une tournée dans les clubs et sur les radios et un certain succès au Texas, les filles locales fondèrent le « Willie Nelson Fan Club ». Il continua à fréquenter la High school en étant très sportif et joua au football, au basketball et au baseball. Il sera diplômé en 1950. 3 Pendant la guerre de Corée, Willie sera incorporé dans la United States Air Force et servira pendant 9 mois. Il fut renvoyé dans ses foyers quand un médecin diagnostiqua des problèmes de dos. En 1952, il se maria avec Martha Matthews et pour subvenir aux besoins du couple, il sera disk jockey dans des stations de radio locales tout en continuant de chanter. Il poursuivit ses études d’agriculture à l’université de 1954 à 1956. Il s’installa à Springfield dans le Missouri et travailla quelque temps comme plongeur au restaurant « Aunt Martha's Pancake House ». Puis il partit pour Vancouver (Etat de Washington). Il se produira dans des clubs locaux avec son style traditionnel de folk sudiste et puis de gospel mais sans trop de succès. Il écrira et enregistrera « Family Bible » et « Lumberjack » (en partie). Le single « Lumberjack » ne sera vendu qu’à 3000 exemplaires et il a vendu la chanson « Family Bible » pour 50 dollars à un professeur de guitare. La chanson est devenue un tube de Claude Gray en 1960. Déçu par les quatre années de ses débuts dans le Nord Ouest, Willie ira tenter sa chance à Nashville où cela ne marchera pas beaucoup mieux pour lui, car aucun label ne veut de lui et il devra reprendre ses acticités de DJ. 4 En 1960, toutes ses démos furent rejetées, mais grâce à ses compositions et surtout avec l’aide de Hank Cochran, il signera un contrat avec « Pamper Music » ce qui lui permit d’enregistrer un single en 1961 « Night Life », un ancien standard de la Country Music. Il rejoindra le groupe des « Cherokee Cowboys » de Ray Price comme guitariste bassiste. Le titre « Night Life » sera un bon début pour Willie. Pendant cette période, il écrivit des standards de la Country Music. Ces chansons écrites pour d’autres artistes comme « Hello Walls » pour Faron Young en 1961, (qu’il enregistra par la suite dans son album « And Then I Wrote »), « Pretty Paper » pour Roy Orbison, la fameuse « Crazy » pour Patsy Cline et « Funny How Time Slips Away » pour Billy Walker, lui permettront d’être reconnu par la profession surtout en tant que compositeur de talent, et non comme interprète. Willie Nelson signa en 1961 avec le label Liberty Records et sortit quelques singles comme « Willingly » et « Touch Me » un duo avec sa future seconde femme Shirley Collie. En 1962, Nelson enregistra son premier album : « And Then I Wrote ». Sa carrière ne décolla toujours pas comme il l’aurait souhaité. Il décida de faire une pause de quelques années pour réfléchir. 5 Durant quatre années, Willie Nelson vivote de ses droits d’auteur Il s’intéressera à d’autres musiques américaines comme le Jazz, le Swing, le Reggae, le Bues, un peu le Rock, mais surtout la musique psychédélique. En 1963, il se remaria avec Shirley Collie, avec laquelle il restera jusqu’en 1971. Finalement Willie Nelson signa en 1965 un contrat de 10 000 $ par an avec RCA Victor Records. De janvier à avril, il enregistra « Country Willie-His Own Songs ». La même année, il rejoindra le Grand Ole Opry. Il se produira à de nombreuses reprises sur la scène de l’Armadillo World Headquarters, une salle de concerts dans laquelle ont joué ZZ Top, Frank Zappa ou Ray Charles. Mais il ne décolla toujours pas en dehors du Tennessee et des environs. Début des années 1970, Willie va créer un genre de Country qui ne répond plus aux critères du « Nashville Sound », mais ses albums seront tout de même édités par Chet Atkins. En 1971, il s’installa à Austin, capitale du Texas. A ce moment-là, Austin est sur le devant de scène du mouvement Hippie et de sa musique. A Austin, sa popularité monte en flèche et il impose sa propre marque de musique Country imprégnée de Rock and Roll, de Jazz, de Western Swing et des influences de folk. En 1973, après avoir signé avec Atlantic Records, il changea de style par rapport au passé et il se tourna carrément vers le genre « Outlaw Country » et sortira l’album « Shotgun Willie ». Nelson a écrit la chanson titre de l’album dans sa chambre après une séance d’enregistrement, enfin plutôt dans sa salle de bain, sur du papier hygiénique posé sur le lavabo !! 6 Le prochain album « Phases and Stages » sortira en 1974. Le concept de l’album d’un couple divorcé sera inspiré de sa propre expérience. Sur un côté du disque, il chantera le point de vue de l’homme et sur l’autre côté, celui de la femme. Les chansons mises en avant sont le hit « Bloody Mary Morning » et le duo « After the Fire is Gone » avec Tracy Nelson. En 1975, il quittera sa maison de disques pour signer avec Columbia Records. Il y enregistra l’album « Red Headed Stranger ». Son label Columbia a été réticent pour sortir l’album à cause de l’accompagnement avec une unique guitare et un piano. Après l’insistance de Willie Nelson et Waylon Jennings, l’album a été publié et eut un immense succès, surtout avec la chanson populaire « Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain » écrite par Fred Rose en 1945. Cette chanson sera le premier hit N°1 du chanteur. C’est pendant ces années-là qu’il exercera son talent dans la Country Folk sudiste et qu’il s’imposera en tant que guitariste/interprète de ce genre musical. 7 Willie Nelson fera également la connaissance des grands de la Country Music de l’époque comme Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Jessi Colter et Waylon Jennings. Puis en 1976, ce sera au tour de l’album outlaw « Wanted! The Outlaws » d’être publié qu’il enregistra justement avec Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter et Tompall Glaser. C’est son premier album de country music à obtenir un disque de platine. La même année, Nelson sortira « The Sound In Your Mind, certifié Or en 1978 et platine en 2001 et son premier album Gospel « Troublemaker », certifié Or en 1986. Il se raconte, qu’en 1977, pour la dernière nuit de sa vie, Elvis Presley a joué au piano et chanté la chanson « Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain » de Willie Nelson ! En 1978, l’album platinium « Waylon & Willie » verra le jour, en collaboration avec Waylon Jennings. Cet album inclura le hit « Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys » écrit et chanté par Ed Bruce. 8 Le prochain album sera « Stardust » avec des chansons américaines traditionnelles produites par Booker T. Jones et qui sera certifié platine la même année. D’autres morceaux seront également aux Charts en cette fin de décennie comme « Good Hearted Woman » et « If You've Got the Money I've Got the Time », « Remember Me », « Uncloudy Day », « I Love You a Thousand Ways » et « Something to Brag About ». En 1979, Willie fera également un duo avec Leon Russel intitulé « One For The Road » Toujours en 1979, Nelson fera sa première apparition au cinéma dans le film « The Electric Horseman ». Plus tard, on le verra dans d’autres films et émissions ou feuilletons de télévision comme Honeysuckle Rose, Thief et Barbarosa. Cette même année, Nelson avait acheté une propriété près de Lake Travis à Austin au Texas qu’il avait reconverti en studio d’enregistrement nommé « Pedemales Studio ».

  • Your Wedding Vows
    Your Wedding Vows You’ve probably checked out our Sample Wedding Ceremonies and noticed that the vows are deliberately “simple, positive, and easy to repeat”. We’re convinced that the stress of speaking words must not rob you of the awesome, irreplaceable emotions that occur in the moment of your vows. So we recommend simple vows. There have been and will be many opportunities for you to express your love, make promises, exchange sentiments, even joke freely, but your vows are an once-in-a-lifetime experience. We want you to be free to concentrate on the indescribable awe of giving yourselves to one another. Lovers, poets, philosophers – you! – may be passionate about “saying it just right”. Yes, the words of your vows are that important. We just don’t want to risk dampening the magic of this moment by choreographing it for the guests or video. We hope you’ll face one another, hold hands, and look into one another’s eyes as you exchange vows. We hope you’ll allow yourselves to get “all choked up”, and even to mumble if words can’t come out. Your partner will know what you mean. And we hope you’ll allow yourselves to be caught up in a cloud as though everyone else fades from sight at this moment – because the only one who needs to hear you is your partner, and because often what your partner most aches to hear is the whisper that comes through your tears, laughter, asides, and intimate spontaneity rather than pre-written vows. It’s important that you understand the difference between the legal and personal side of wedding ceremonies too.

  • The Sonic Scale of Bob's Devices Cinemag Sky 30 Posted on 2015
    The Sonic Scale of Bob’s Devices Cinemag Sky 30 Posted on 2015/11/04 by Jon Eben Field Review by Jon Eben Field In his treatise, The Beautiful in Music, Eduard Hanslick, a Bohemian music critic and major proponent of Brahms, famously wrote, “Music means itself.” Here we discover the can of worms that emerges in attempting to write about music and the devices that reproduce it in our homes. That other more famous quotation, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture” gestures towards that same space. There is an inherent difficulty in attempting to write about music. Music is a language, any other description is inevitably supplemental. And there is a whole other layer of difficulty involved in describing to others what a device will do to the reproduction of music in their homes under highly idiosyncratic and unique conditions when the review has been written under another set of entirely complex and different conditions. Reviewers have to grapple with these issues every time we sit down to write about a piece of equipment. Yet reviewers persist, as I will in this instance, because of our belief that the articulation of the experience of reproduced sound is not only clearly possible, but also clearly possible in ways that are noticeable and describable across a wide array of variables. Over the past several weeks, I have had the pleasure of experimenting with Bob’s Devices Cinemag Sky 30, a step- up transformer (SUT) used to passively raise the signal of low-output moving coil (MC) cartridges to the point where they can be amplified by a moving magnet (MM) phono stage.
