Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

    Cover photo by Ebet Roberts 18 AIRTO He calls himself the "outlaw of percussion" because he breaks all the rules, but that's what has kept Airto in demand with musicians such as Miles Davis, Chick Corea, and Weather Report for almost two decades. His latest rule-breaking involves the use of electronics, but as usual, he has come up with his own way of doing it. by Rick Mattingly 24 GILSON LAVIS Back when Squeeze was enjoying their initial success, drummer Gilson Lavis was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol. After the band broke up, he conquered his problem, and now, with the re-formed Squeeze enjoying success once again, Lavis is able to put new energy into his gig. by Simon Goodwin 28 BUDDY Photo by Ebet Roberts MILES He made his mark with the Electric Flag, Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, and his own Buddy Miles Express. Now, active once again with Santana and the California Raisins, Buddy Miles reflects on the legendary music that he was so much a part of. by Robert Santelli 32 DAVE TOUGH He didn't have the flash of a Buddy Rich or a Gene Krupa, but Dave Tough made such bands as Benny Goodman's, Artie Shaw's, and Woody Herman's play their best through his driving timekeeping and sense of color.

    M-70 CURTIS PIEHU IAUKEA COLLECTION Introduction The CurtisPiehu Iaukea Collection consists of personaland professionalpapers, including correspondence, commissions, diaries, and photographs given to the Hawaii State Archives at various times. The collection initially was deposited in the Archives by Iaukea in 1926 as a loan and then subsequently more material was acquired fromhis grandsons, Curtis Piehu Iaukea II around 1974 and Edward B. Watson in 1978. In 1936 Iaukea removed some of the material and loaned it to Jean Hobbs to work on his memoirs. This material was later recovered fromJean Hobbs' estate as well as a gift donated by A. R. Nylen, the proprietor of Aala Pawn Shop in Honolulu. The collection also contains a copy of a typescript of the biography of Curtis P. Iaukea by Loma Iaukea Watson, his daughter. There are handwritten annotations and corrections in this copy of the typescript. Access to this manuscriptcollection is unrestricted Biographical Sketch Curtis Piehu Iaukea was born in Waimea, Hawaii on December 13, 1855 to J. W. and Lahapa (Nalanipo) Iaukea. At a young age Iaukea was adopted by his uncle Kaihupa'a, a royal retainer to King Kamehameha III, who raised Iaukea to followin his footstepsas a retainer. Being under the care of Kaihupa'a, Iaukea lived near the palace grounds and grew up among the royal family. Iaukea's education, which was sponsored by King Kamehameha IV, allowed him to attend St. Alban's college, predecessor to Iolani School, and an Anglican school in Lahaina. In 1870 Iaukea returnedto Honolulu and worked as a steward on Kamehameha V's staff.

We invite you to consider the performances on McCallum’s Field Trip Series as non-print texts available for study and investigation by your students. Anyone who has shown a filmed version of a play in their classroom, used a website as companion to a textbook, or asked students to do online research already knows that “texts” don’t begin and end with textbooks, novels, and reading packets. They extend to videos, websites, games, plays, concerts, dances, radio programs, and a number of other non-print texts that students and teachers engage with on a regular basis. We know that when we expand our definition of texts to the variety of media that we use in our everyday lives, we broaden the materials and concepts we have at our disposal in the classroom, increase student engagement, and enrich learning experiences.

  • Guitar Tunings
    Guitar tunings Guitar tunings assign pitches to the open strings of guitars, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and classical guitars. Tunings are described by the particular pitches denoted by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass note) to highest-pitched (thickest string to thinnest).[1] Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest (low E2) to highest (high E4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and The range of a guitar with standard frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning. tuning The term guitar tunings may refer to pitch sets other than standard tuning, also called nonstandard, alternative, or alternate. Some tunings are used for 0:00 MENU particular songs, and might be referred to by the song's title. There are Standard tuning (listen) hundreds of such tunings, often minor variants of established tunings.
