Country Music Country Music in Missouri Country Bios
Country Music Country music is a genre of popular music that originated in the rural South in the 1920s, with roots in fiddle music, old-time music, blues and various types of folk music. Originally called “hillbilly music” and sometimes called “country and western,” the name “country music” or simply “country” gained popularity in the 1940s. Many recent country artists use elements of pop and rock. Country music often consists in ballads with simple forms and harmonies, accompanied by guitar or banjo with a fiddle. Country bands now often include a steel guitar, bass and drums. Country Music in Missouri Missourians love country music, as evidenced by the large number of country music radio stations, the number of country artists on festivals and presented by concert venues around the state, the country music artists who make their home and perform regularly in the popular tourist destination of Branson, Missouri, and the many Missouri musicians and bands who play country music in the bars and clubs in their local community. “The Sources of Country Music,” a painting by well-known Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton hangs in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Ralph Peer (1892-1960), born in Independence, Missouri, worked for Columbia Records in Kansas City until 1920 when he took a job for OKeh Records in New York and supervised the recording of “Crazy Blues” by Mamie Smith, the first blues recording aimed at African- Americans. In 1924 he supervised the first commercial recording session in New Orleans, recording jazz, blues and gospel music. -

PUB DATE 1998-11-00 NOTE 31p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Communication Association (84th, New York, NY, November 21-24, 1998).

DESCRIPTORS Communication Research; Higher Education; *Organizational Climate; *Organizational Communication; *Story Telling; *Student Attitudes; Universities; Values ABSTRACT This study examined the culture of a university by analyzing its stories. Stories were collected over a period of five years at a large midwestern research university. Results suggest that a strong student subculture is frequently in conflict with the organization's dominant tradition-based culture. Stories illustrate the conflict between these two, as well as provide examples of unity between them. Other stories are ambiguous, not clearly espousing any values. In this way, the analysis suggests the importance of using all three perspectives on organizational culture defined by J. Martin (1992). The results seem applicable to studying other organizations as well, since stories of conflict and unity may provide insight into organizations' cultures. Contains 21 references and a figure illustrating the typology of organizational stories.

A Battlefield Museum in Missouri Displays One Scavenger's Many
A battlefield museum in Missouri displays one scavenger’s many finds Source: Kansas City Star, adapted by Newsela staff Kansas City, MO— It started six decades ago. As construction crews began developing sections of a Kansas City meadow near the Blue River, a man concerned about the impact on history began showing up with a metal detector. Over an 11-year period beginning in 1952, John Adams Jr. dug up dozens of items. The objects he found had been left behind by Union and Confederate soldiers during the October 1864 Battle of Westport. Adams found belt buckles, revolvers, bayonets, unexploded artillery shells—even a carved bullet that may have been used as a chess piece. Often he arrived after big rains, in case rushing water had revealed something previously hidden. Whenever new construction commenced, he asked permission to look around. Today, many national battlefield preservationists frown mightily on such a artifact hunting. Local Civil War students, however, are thankful for the work of Adams, whose relatives had farmed the battlefield area before and after the war. Because of Adams, a collection of artifacts from Kansas City’s most significant Civil War battle survives today. “A Bunch of Rusted Things” Visitors to the Battle of Westport Visitors Center and Museum during the battle’s 150th anniversary commemoration, which began October 23, can see what Adams saved. About 75 artifacts that he retrieved from the area now known as the Byram’s Ford Big Blue Battlefield will be on exhibit. The collection, which museum organizers learned about only recently, represents a huge increase in the number of known Battle of Westport relics. -

Powering the New Era of Blockchain Enhanced Online Video Important Legal Notice This White Paper is published by the Verasity Foundation (the “Foundation,” or the “Token Generator”) for general information regarding the proposed Verasity System, to invite community commentary and spread awareness of the project in its current form. Aside from providing this White Paper and certain other public materials, the Foundation intends one or more blockchain token sale events, with any tokens (“VERA Tokens”, “the Tokens,” “VERA” or “VRA”) sold in such events declared and agreed to be non-securities (or “utility tokens”) to the full extent permitted by law, whether of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. Without prejudice to such general non-security treatment in respect of the Tokens, this document makes reference to prospective treatment of Tokens sold as “securities” (whether upon regulatory application of the Foundation or by operation of law), pertaining to particular instances within specific jurisdictions. This document does not constitute an offer or a solicitation to purchase securities, as that term is defined in the United States under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act” or “the Act”), or in any other jurisdiction. A definitive and legally-binding offer to purchase or sell securities can only be made through a formal offering agreement (for Verasity, the “Token Sale Terms and Conditions” agreement). Any decision to purchase tokens in connection with such prospective offering should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in any then-provided offering agreement, which should be carefully-reviewed and evaluated in consultation with the prospective purchaser's own legal, accounting, investment, tax and any other applicable advisors, in view of the prospective purchaser's own circumstances.
