  • ~:L~~!:1\.UTOMOTIVE ISTORY
    ~:l~~!:1\.UTOMOTIVE ISTORY SPRING 1990 EVIEW A PUBLICATION OF THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORIANS, INC. Editorial Comment One of the most fascinating aspects of automotive history is the study of the many people who figure in the industry which grew up around the motor car. Many of these are giant figures, in terms of their reputation and lasting influ- ence on the industry: Henry Ford the elder, Alfred P. Sloan, even Preston Tucker. For every industry giant, however, there are dozens of others whose lives and work fall in the shadows, but whose contributions to society are no less vital. Texan D.J. Kava is a scholar of Hudson history, and in his travels came across an interesting figure in the persona of George W. Dunham, first chief engineer of Hudson Motor Car Company. Through a short-timer in the auto industry, by Detroit standards, Dunham was the designer behind several production cars before turning his attention to setting industry standards through the Society of Automotive Engineers. He then moved to other endeavors, and left us with the legacy of the modern spindry washing machine and the ubiquitous lawn sweeper. With Kava's treatise on Dunham's career, beginning on page 2, we return Automotive History Review to the field of biography which it championed many years ago. Jim Hockenhull (page 8) has an irrepressible sense of humor (could a Crosley connoisseur survive otherwise?), and in this vein examines why, despite a clever attempt at innova- tion, the Ohio auto maker is not remembered as the pioneer of the modern high-compression engine.

  • 09-15 FESTIVAL 38Th NO MONTHLY CIRCLE
    NJ FRIENDS OF CLEARWATER ANNUAL FESTIVAL Monmouth County, NJ. Our 38th Year. NOTE THE CHANGE OF TIME AND PLACE: Sunday, September 15, 2013, from 11AM - 7PM Great Lawn, Long Branch (the northern boardwalk area between Rooney’s and the former Hilton Hotel). There will be opportunities for audience members to take a turn to play – or to sing along – please bring your instrument. But if you wish, just come and listen. We encourage songs about the environment and sing-along songs, but you can do others. At the Festival, our Circle of Song Stage will be near Rooney’s. Our Circle of Song Leader-Performers at the Festival will be (alphabetically – subject to change): Tommy and Abby Anton, Cliff Bloodgood, Jim Crawford, Jan Christiansen, Rich Deans, James Durst, Cosby Gibson, Spook Handy, Ingrid Heldt, Linda Hutchings, Isis and her Tribe, Jerzy Jung (Wonderlands), Dale Lakata, Sharleen Leahey, Mara Levine, Bob Mecklenburger, O’Neal & Martin, Joe Petraitis (some of these performers will move to our other three stages). Tommy and Abby Anton empower audiences with their unique style of mystical folk-pop. Tommy’s solo CD has enjoyed nationwide airplay, and the duo’s live performances, with Abby on keyboards and backing vocals, are captivating. At home, on the Jersey Shore, the Antons are well known for their raw food lifestyle. They are often seen in the area with their bicycle trailer rigs, musical instruments in tow. After their recent tour of the Southwest, their new CD is due out next year. Please check www.TommyAnton.com for more info. Cliff Bloodgood is a local guitarist who has performed with area bands along the Jersey Shore for a number of years.

    Jan 18 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 164th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 10 to Jan. 14. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at Annie Moore's, and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morn- ing (followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's). The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker on Thursday evening was Martin Edwards, the award-winning mystery author and commentator on myster- ies, and then The Baker Street Babes' "Daintiest Scream on the Moor Charity Ball" featured the unveiling of a "Cake Boss" cake in the shape of a bust of Sherlock Holmes (to be featured on an upcoming episode of the TV series. Friday's William Gillette Luncheon included a performance by the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street, plus Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan WHIMSEY Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber), which honors the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year, to M.E. Rich. And Otto Penzler's traditional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportunities to browse and buy. The Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where Roy Pilot proposed the traditional preprandial first toast to Patricia Izban as The Woman. The annual-dinner agenda included toasts, rituals, and papers, and Mike Whelan (the BSI's "Wiggins") presented this year's Birthday Honours (Irregular Shillings and Investitures) to Shannon Carlisle ("Beacons of the Future!"), Dean Clark ("Watson's Journal"), Denny Dobry ("A Single Large Airy Sitting-Room"), Jeffrey Hatcher ("The Five Or- ange Pips"), Maria Fleischhack ("Rache"), Anastasia Klimchynskaya ("The Old Russian Woman"), Rebecca Romney ("That Gap on That Second Shelf"), Candace Lewis ("A Little Art Jargon"), Nick Martorelli ("Seventeen Steps"), and Al Shaw ("Sir Hugo Baskerville").

  • Bruce Springsteen Tourism to Asbury Park (& the Jersey Shore)
    'Bruceland', the 'Promised Land' and the 'Land of Hope and Dreams' Constructing Music Tourism: Bruce Springsteen Fans and the Meaning of Visiting Asbury Park and the Jersey Shore Master Thesis Tourism and Culture Arts and Culture Studies Radboud University Name: C.A. van Helden, MA Student number: 4168968 Supervisor: Dr. F.P.G.B.M. Meens Date: 15 August 2018 Van Helden / s4168968 / 2 Abstract Recently, the niche of music tourism has become increasingly significant and widespread. Even though research into music tourism has also started to develop more broadly, the perspective of fans travelling someplace out of fandom of a musician, band, or music scene remains rather neglected. This research will focus on the case study of fans of Bruce Springsteen and his ‘adopted’ hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey, as well as its neighboring towns of Belmar, Freehold, and Long Branch. In this thesis, this area is referred to as Asbury Park and the Jersey shore. This research will focus on an interpretation of recurring themes in the ways in which fans of Bruce Springsteen describe their motivations for visiting this area, as well as their experiences. As such, this research aims to add to an understanding of the ways in which (fan) tourists add to a construction of a music tourism destination; in other words, how do fans of Bruce Springsteen shape an image of said destination in their discourses? What makes their visit meaningful? How do they contribute to a particular tourist landscape?

American Roots Music Legacy in the Songs of Bruce Springsteen. Supervisor: William Bradley Vice, Ph.D. This thesis deals with Bruce Springsteen’s use of American roots music. It shows how exactly he fits in the framework of this tradition, and what are the main connections. Springsteen’s life is briefly outlined prior to the release of his break-through album Born to Run to provide a personal context. This thesis is divided into two chapters. The first one is concerned with the mentioned biography. The second one is further divided into two subchapters that shortly discuss what exactly the term “American roots music” means, and then there are analysis of the two selected trilogies. The first trilogy is his formative one where he had explored the distance between American Dream and reality.

    “THE DISTANCE BETWEEN AMERICAN REALITY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM”: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S AMERICAN JEREMIAD, 2002-2012 by Robert Scott McMillan A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University December 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Pete McCluskey, Chair Dr. Mischa Renfroe Dr. Patricia Bradley This dissertation is dedicated with all the love in my heart to my wife and eternal partner, Jennifer James, who is my dream, my miracle, my absolute joy, and the love of my life.
