Welcome to the For what seems to have been eons, your editor has been asking Roger Wothe to contribute an article about his magnificent 1942 Continental Cabriolet. I have progressed through the various Northstar News, the stages, asking nicely, begging, pleading, threatening, cajoling, shaming, and trying to do whatever monthly publication of it might take to have Roger sit down with pen in hand and create a missive suitable for publication the Northstar Region in our monthly newsletter. Alas, nothing worked. But, an article of sorts had been published in the January-February 2009 issue of Comments. Tim Howley authored it from information supplied by of the Lincoln and Roger. Tim was motivated to write about the car, as he had seen it in all its beauty at the 2008 Continental Owners LCOC Mid-America meet, which took place in Duluth, Minnesota. The 2008 meet was well at- Club. We value your tended, and those who attended had a delightful experience visiting the home town of your Northstar News editor.

    BODIES OF WORK: THE PRODUCTION OF WORK, CLASS AND GENDER IN FILM MUSICALS A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in English By Kathryn D. Jett, B.A. Washington, DC April 25, 2008 The influence of community is always inextricable from class identity. I would like to thank the communities of strong women who have influenced my thinking and my work from my hometown in Guymon, Oklahoma to my academic home here at Georgetown University. Special thanks belong to Dr. Pamela Fox for her guidance and inspiration. By introducing me to working-class studies, she has given me the critical tools I have been seeking all along. A large part of this work however, is drawn from the ultimate community of women in my life—my mother, grandmothers, sisters, aunts and cousins. Their ceaseless work, their love of music, and their subtle feminism are all woven into my thoughts and my words. To my mother and my Grammy Dee, thank you for showing me that a woman’s work can be as beautiful as her music.

Taking its roots from black minstrelsy, ethnically diverse Vaudeville, and New York’s Tin Pan Alley1, musical theatre has always been rich with the class, race, and gender related themes that reflect a complex and often fractured American culture.

  • Of the Nine Stage Shows Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II Created Between 1943 and 1959, One Was an Outright Commercial F
    Of the nine stage shows Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II created between 1943 and 1959, one was an outright commercial failure, another was a succès d’estime, and two were hits but did not enter the abiding repertory. The remaining five form the most phenomenal success story in the musical’s saga, making up a unique short list of eternally revivable classics and governing Broadway for a generation. However, many of the breakthroughs credited to the Rodgers and Hammerstein (from now on R & H) canon in fact precede their partnership, especially the main one: that they integrated the musical. The Beggar’s Opera, way back in 1728 in London, was integrated. In the nineteenth century, Gilbert and Sullivan and Offenbach were integrated. Moving to America, we find that Reginald De Koven’s Robin Hood, John Philip Sousa’s El Capitan, and Victor Herbert’s The Red Mill (among countless others) were integrated. Nor did R & H’s emphasis on dance as a psychological instrument open a new path: there were plenty of Dream Ballets in the 1930s. Then, too, Rodgers himself defined a “great musical” as one in which “all the individual parts complement each other.” In his words, “the orchestrations sound the way the costumes look.” Rodgers expressly offered Oklahoma! as an example. But that first Oklahoma! production, in 1943, with its unprecedented five- year run and eleven-year national tour, had been compromised by a tight budget, and the sets, at least, looked cheap. The orchestrations, by Robert Russell Bennett, sounded wonderful, yes: Bennett was the Beowulf of his profession.

  • Rhythm and Blues Rocker Bonnie Raitt Plays Cal Poly Nov. 18
    Skip to Content Cal Poly News Search Cal Poly News Go California Polytechnic State University Oct. 23, 2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LISA WOSKE (805) 756-7110 Rythm and Blues Rocker Bonnie Raitt Plays Cal Poly Nov. 18 SAN LUIS OBISPO- Nine-time Grammy Award-winner Bonnie Raitt will bring her "Silver Lining Tour" to the Christopher Cohan Center November 18 as part of the Cal Poly Arts Center Stage Series. The concert starts at 8 p.m. The concert will also feature an array of roots, R&B and funk music styles by special guests Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. A best-selling artist, respected guitarist, expressive singer, and accomplished songwriter, Bonnie Raitt has become an institution in American music. In 2000, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thirty years after her recording debut, Raitt's sixteenth album, "Silver Lining," continues her search for universal elements in diverse musical cultures to incorporate with her mastery of the blues. Born to a musical family, Raitt is the daughter of celebrated Broadway singer John Raitt ("Carousel," "Oklahoma!," "The Pajama Game") and accomplished pianist/singer Marge Goddard. By the late '60s, she was deeply involved with folk music and the blues and was opening for artists such as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. In 1971, she released her debut album, "Bonnie Raitt." Her interpretations of classic blues made a powerful critical impression. Over the next seven years, she recorded six albums and delivered her first hit single, a gritty Memphis/R&B arrangement of Del Shannon's "Runaway." Three Grammy nominations followed in the 1980s and a compilation of highlights from the Warners albums, as well as two unreleased live duets, was released in 1990 as "The Bonnie Raitt Collection." During this time, Raitt also devoted herself to playing benefits and speaking out in support of many social causes, including stopping the war in Central America, the Sun City anti-apartheid project, and the historic 1980 No Nukes concerts at Madison Square Garden.

  • Paul and Deb, “Taking the Road Less Traveled.”
    Volume 19 Issue 10 October 1, 2019 Paul and Deb, “Taking the road less traveled.” This past July, Paul and Deb Andahl took this great looking Town Car to the LCOC Western National Meet in Colorado. Our trip to the Western National Meet as told by Paul Andahl, North Star member from Bis- marck, North Dakota. Whenever we are driving one of our Lincolns, Deb always asks which one is my favorite, and I always reply “THE ONE I’M DRIVING,” in this case our 1999 Lincoln Town Car that we drove Welcome to the to the Western National Meet held in Grand Junction, Colorado this past July. We purchased this Town Car in 2016 from a car dealer in Maquoketa, Iowa; who sold it new Northstar News, the to a retired farm couple who lived in Florida most of the time. They kept this car at their home in monthly publication of Iowa to use during the summer months while they were home. It is the Cartier series in a color the Northstar Region called Light Parchment that was available only on the Cartier at the time. Having traveled 18,000 miles, it still sits on the original Michelin whitewall tires. of the Lincoln and Back to our trip to the meet…we left Bismarck July 9, so we could take in the tours that were Continental Owners planned for the meet. As we traveled through southwest North Dakota, we passed through or by Club. We value your small towns like St. Anthony, Flasher, Carson, Elgin, Burt, and Mott where some of the best pheasant hunting in the country is located.

  • Has Faithfully Demonstrated a Catholicity of the Heart. Over Three
    PERFORMERS S IN C E H E R 1971 RECORDING DEBUT, BONNIE RAITT has faithfully demonstrated a catholicity of the heart. Over three decades, she has essayed most every facet of blues - and folk-derived American pop - from Robert Johnson to Motown, from the cockiest blues to the most heartrending contemporary ballads - yet distilled a style uniquely her own. A mas­ ter blueswoman, a consummate pop singer, a legendary guitarist - all describe her, but none fully define her. When Raitt’s fittingly titled Nick of Time swept the Grammys in A T R I C I A 1990, the general consensus was that her time had come. In truth, though, it was always her time, because through the years Raitt remained true to her vision and to her fans. For those of us with a few decades behind us, Raitt is among a handful of artists whose atti­ tudes, music and life continue to make some kind of sense. She has outlived, outsung and outplayed every walking rocker-babe, blues- mama cliché. And now, with typically unself-conscious style, she coolly sashays through her fifties, as much a model for her peers as for their children. In her more introspective songs, such as “Nick of Time,” she reveals a hard-won, clear-eyed emotional depth. But in her under- statedly sexy duet with John Lee Hooker, “I’m in the Mood,” or the playfully leering “Thing Called Love,” Raitt reminds us that she’s also got something else cookin’ in her kitchen. And surely always will. Bonnie Raitt was the second child and only daughter born to Maijorie Haydock, a pianist, and John Raitt, the dashing and gifted W i f M i Broadway musical star best known for his roles in Okla­ perhaps even suspect.
