  • Top 40 Baby Slideshow Songs Suggestion
    Top 40 Baby Slideshow Songs Suggestion As parents, we'd always like to record the growing up for our children, especially for our newborn babies. We are fond of taking photos and videos after their birth, on their birthdays, or on other special occasions. Children will definitely be thankful for all the great efforts we have taken to preserve their unforgettable moments when they grow up. If you have taken a great number of photos of your baby, you may consider picking some of them to make an amazing baby slideshow. A baby slideshow will bring the still baby photos to life by applying transitions, setting Pan & Zoom effects, adding text, and more. Above all, any general slideshow maker will let you add background music, so you can easily create a baby photo slideshow with music. It is not easy to find songs that best fit the baby slideshow. To help you save time, let me list 40 songs that are suitable for a baby photo slide show.

  • Tennessee State Parks Folklife Project Records Record Group 59
    TENNESSEE STATE PARKS FOLKLIFE PROJECT RECORDS RECORD GROUP 59 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Tennessee State Parks Folklife Project began in 1979 under Tennessee’s Division of Parks and Recreation to preserve the unique qualities of local cultural groups. Supported by a National Endowment for the Arts grant, and using equipment loaned from the American Folklife Center, the Division hired three professionally trained folklorists to: 1. establish a contact with local musicians, craftsmen, storytellers, etc. in communities around six state parks 2. present programs in the parks using those local people 3. document on film and audio tape the folk art and folklore of the area 4. organize and present one larger community folk arts festival within a state park Administrators of the Folklife Project divided the state into three regions - East, Middle, and West - with one folklorist assigned to each. They then identified two state parks in each region as target areas and to serve as the base from which the folklorist worked. In 1979, these were the Cumberland Mountain and Pickett State Parks in East Tennessee; Montgomery Bell and Cedars of Lebanon State Parks in Middle Tennessee; and Natchez Trace and Meeman Shelby State Parks in West Tennessee. In 1980, the target areas included Cove Lake and Norris Dam in East Tennessee; Fall Creek Falls and Rock Island in Middle Tennessee; and Chickasaw and Pickwick Landing in West Tennessee. Using state parks as a base, folklorists associated with the project surveyed the surrounding areas, taping and photographing people and events representative of the area’s folk tradition. Weekly programs took place in each of the “home” parks, with larger mini-festivals held in each region at the end of the summer.

After touring the Gulf Coast circuit in his late teens and early twenties, Billy’s first big break came in 1988 when he won Best Male Vocalist on Star Search, hosted by Ed McMahon. His success on the show led to signing with Columbia Records and the release of his debut album Young Man in 1990. Buoyed by the singles “Only Here for a Little While” and “Somewhere in My Broken Heart,” Young Man became Billy’s first of many Gold records.
