The primary goals of the project were to update storage units and lighting in the Center’s 3,300 square foot archival facility (located in the Bragg Media and Entertainment Building). In addition to providing more storage space—badly needed with the significant growth of the Center’s collections in recent years—the project provides more efficient use of space, better air circulation and environmental conditions, better lighting, improved accessibility and security, and a more sustainable approach to the long-term preservation of these cultural heritage materials, many of them rare or unique and more than a century old. |2 A Picture Timeline of the CPM’s Archival Renovation The old mezzanine and staircase on the north side of the CPM archive, which used to feature inefficient, A crew from MTSU Construction and Renovation stationary shelving.

These notebooks were the basis for John Hartford’s Mammoth Collection of Fiddle Tunes, published in 2018 and co- compiled by CPM Director Greg Reish. Individual Acquisitions Among the most exciting individual additions to the Center’s world-class collection of historic materials this year were an 1857 banjo contest advertisement, an event described contemporaneously as the first banjo competition in the United States; and a three- page manuscript by Asa Hutchinson of the Hutchinson Family, one of the most famous musical groups of 19th century America, memorializing his wife Lizzie with a copy of the last song she performed in public. A page of handwritten music from John Hartford’s music notebooks, showing one of thousands of original fiddle tunes by the famous songwriter of “Gentle on My Mind.” |6 Programming As with collection development, the Center’s agenda of public programming was deliberately lighter this year while the archival renovation occupied much of the staff’s time and attention. Nonetheless, 2018-2019 remained another stimulating year on the Center’s programming calendar with a number of fascinating book talks, concerts, and Center support for various events organized by partner organizations.

Michael Doubler on Uncle Dave Macon Distinguished historian Michael Doubler gave a public talk on his new book, Dixie Dewdrop: The Uncle Dave Macon Story. A Rutherford County resident, Uncle Dave Macon was one of country music’s most important performing and recording artists in the first two decades of the genre’s existence, and was the first major star of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. Doubler is Macon’s great-grandson, and combined extensive research in the CPM archive with interviews and other family materials to write the first comprehensive biography of this original and highly influential musician. |7 Don Cusic on Music City In February the Center hosted Don Cusic, Curb Professor of Music Industry History at Belmont University, who discussed his latest book, Nashville Sound: An Illustrated Timeline. The book was published with research assistance from the CPM’s Assistant Archivist Olivia Beaudry. During the well- attended event, Cusic covered the musical history of Nashville, from fiddling politicians the Alf Brothers, to the Fisk Jubilee Singers and all the way up the 2016 Grammys.

  • Bio Rhonda Vincent 2019 Jun 20 Single Bio LIKE I COULD
    Rhonda Vincent’s new single, “LIKE I COULD” is the RESULT OF A CHAIN REACTION Rhonda Vincent is no stranger to most anyone in the field of music. Why even Elton John and Bernie Taupin enlisted Rhonda and her iconic friend Dolly Parton, to create a “Queen of Bluegrass” version of their song “Please” for their 50th Anniversary Tribute CD in 2018. The Grammys honored Rhonda Vincent & The Rage with the 2017 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album “All The Rage – Volume One” a live project that displays the World Class Talent of Rhonda and her incredible band. She’s one of the hardest working entertainers, in any genre of music, touring an incredible eleven months out of the year. It’s been far too long since the “Queen of Bluegrass” settled down in the studio to create new music, and finally the wait is over. There wasn’t a song search, or a target recording date. Frankly, the entire process was a continuous chain reaction. The songs presented themselves in the most unlikely of places. The first single, “LIKE I COULD” was discovered while riding in a limousine with Grand Ole Opry Star, Jeannie Seely. Jeannie was sharing her fear of co-writing by appointment, and how she finally faced her fear, at the encouragement of fellow Opry member Bill Anderson by writing “LIKE I COULD” with Erin Enderlin and Bobby Tomberlin. She sang her new song as the limo rolled along. Rhonda instantly loved it and told Jeannie she wanted to record it. Jeannie, in total amazement, later texted Rhonda to ask if she really wanted to record it or was it merely an impulse reaction.

  • “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.

Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Abstract Recognized nationally as the funk capital of the world, Dayton, Ohio takes credit for birthing important funk groups (i.e. Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, and Lakeside) during the 1970s and 80s. Through a combination of ethnographic and archival research, this paper offers a pedagogical approach to Dayton funk, rooted in the styles and works of the city’s funk legacy. Drawing from fieldwork with Dayton funk musicians completed over the summer of 2019 and pedagogical theories of including black music in the school curriculum, this paper presents a pedagogical model for funk instruction that introduces the ingredients of funk (instrumentation, form, groove, and vocals) in order to enable secondary school music programs to create their own funk rooted in local history.

    MY SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY By Wayne Hogan Herald•Citizen, Cookeville, TN Sunday, 9 December 2012, pg. C•4 ‘Writer’s Corner’ Editor’s note: This was originally written by Hogan in 1993. They call it the “Grand Ole Opry.” That’s what former newspaper reporter George D. Hay, its inventor, named it not long after the first group of performers had stood before their open mikes that first Saturday night and had their down•home music and vaudeville•comic routines beamed out over Nashville’s WSM•650 “clear•channel” radio to nearly all of America, way back in 1925. Nineteen hundred and twenty five. The year Nashville’s venerable Grand Ole Opry was born. It’s hardly missed a heartbeat since. Almost since its first moments, the Grand Ole Opry has been Mecca to the millions who’ve, over the years, come to Nashville to savor the finest in “country” music. It was not till a few short years ago, through, that I became one of those “savorers.” For a long time, I hated “country music” (which, as I’m sure you know, has been called “hillbilly music” much of its life and mine). Could barely stand to think of it, much less listen to it. Well, to make what could easily be a longer story shorter, Susan and I’d often talked about getting a couple of tickets and driving the 80 miles to Nashville some Saturday night to experience this “Grand Ole Opry” thing in person. See if it was all that our mind’s eye image had it cracked up to be.

  • Uncle Dave Macon Biography
    Uncle Dave Macon Biography http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/macon_uncle_dave/bio.jhtml Uncle Dave Macon, beginning his professional musical career after the age of 50, brought musical and performance traditions of the 19th-century South to the radio shows and the recording catalogues of the early country music industry. In 1925, he became one of two charter members of the Grand Ole Opry, then called the WSM Barn Dance. A consummate showman on the banjo and a one-man repository of countless old songs and comic routines, Macon remained a well-loved icon of country music until and beyond his death in 1952. Born David Harrison Macon in Smartt Station in middle Tennessee's Warren County, he was the son of a Confederate officer who owned a large farm. Macon heard the folk music of the area when he was young, but he was also a product of the urban South: after the family moved to Nashville and began operating a hotel, Macon hobnobbed with traveling vaudeville musicians who performed there. After his father was stabbed near the hotel, Macon left Nashville with the rest of his family. He worked on a farm and later operated a wagon freight line, performing music only at local parties and dances. Macon's turn toward a musical second career was due partly to the advent of motorized trucks, for his wagon line fell on hard times in the early '20s after a competitor invested in the horseless novelties. In 1923, he struck up a few tunes in a Nashville barbershop with fiddler Sid Harkreader, and an agent from the Loew's theater chain happened to stop in.

    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 7-12 Johnny Cash: The Truth Seeker In 1970, Johnny Cash scored a hit with a protest song called “What Is Truth,” but the question in the title could easily be the theme running through all of the legendary singer-songwriter’s music. In a monumental career that spanned six decades, Cash used his lyrics as a moral compass to explore life’s complexities. “I want to write a song that has something to say—a song that will have a meaning not only for me, but for everybody who hears it,” he said.
