AIRPOST JOURNA1L Albion, Penn'a Albion, Penn'a WAR Is Thrust Upon Us ODAY, as we go to press, the United States is at war. Sunday, December 7, 1941, as this page was being prepared, the Japanese struck without warning at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and a 'half dozen or more other Pacific bases. Even while this country was still endeavoring to negotiate a satisfactory peace with the Oriental empire, bombing planes were taking American lives and destroying American property in the Pacific. There are reports that one or perhaps more of our unfortified FAM 14 Clipper base islands have been occupied by the dastardly enemy; that others have been subjected to air raids; that one of the PAA Clippers was caught while in the course of actual service; that dear friends and fellow members in Manila, Honolulu, Guam and other points are in danger. Many of our AAMS members and readers are in active United States military service. Needless it is to say that it is our every prayer that their task will be safely, expediently and completely ci.ccomplished. We, as a united nation, shail not be beaten. Our original domination of the air and the air industry shall soon again be proven to a now badly torn and bleeding world. Our principles of democracy and freedom shall be re-established throughout the globe for the protection and survival of mankind. Though the sacrifices may be great, every one of this Society­ and every American-pledges his complete efforts. r AIRPOST JOURNAL, OFFICIAL PUBLICATION oF THE TH C AMERICAN AIR MAIL SOCIETY DECEMBER, 1941 - Vol. XIII, No. 3 - Issue 140 - 20c PER COPY First Flight To Africa Left Miami On December 6th • PACIFIC AIRMAIL-Suva, Fiji, to U.

  • James Taylor
    JAMES TAYLOR Over the course of his long career, James Taylor has earned 40 gold, platinum and multi- platinum awards for a catalog running from 1970’s Sweet Baby James to his Grammy Award-winning efforts Hourglass (1997) and October Road (2002). Taylor’s first Greatest Hits album earned him the RIAA’s elite Diamond Award, given for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States. For his accomplishments, James Taylor was honored with the 1998 Century Award, Billboard magazine’s highest accolade, bestowed for distinguished creative achievement. The year 2000 saw his induction into both the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. In 2007 he was nominated for a Grammy Award for James Taylor at Christmas. In 2008 Taylor garnered another Emmy nomination for One Man Band album. Raised in North Carolina, Taylor now lives in western Massachusetts. He has sold some 35 million albums throughout his career, which began back in 1968 when he was signed by Peter Asher to the Beatles’ Apple Records. The album James Taylor was his first and only solo effort for Apple, which came a year after his first working experience with Danny Kortchmar and the band Flying Machine. It was only a matter of time before Taylor would make his mark. Above all, there are the songs: “Fire and Rain,” “Country Road,” “Something in The Way She Moves,” ”Mexico,” “Shower The People,” “Your Smiling Face,” “Carolina In My Mind,” “Sweet Baby James,” “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” “You Can Close Your Eyes,” “Walking Man,” “Never Die Young,” “Shed A Little Light,” “Copperline” and many more.

The New Jersey saxophonist, composer and arranger is best known for his celebrated performances interpreting the ingenious compositions of Frank Zappa, an extensive body of work documented on previous Cuneiform albums such as 2006’s Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance and 2009’s Eddy Loves Frank. His fifth project for the label, The Great Un-American Songbook Volumes 1 & 2 is a love letter to the rockers who ruled the AM and FM airwaves in the 1960s via successive waves of the British Invasion. Featuring largely the same stellar cast of players as last year’s gloriously eclectic One Child Left Behind, the 18-piece EPBB lovingly reinvents songs famous and obscure, leaving them readily recognizable and utterly transformed.

  • The Beatles' Myth
    COVERING MUSIC: TRACING THE SEMIOTICS OF BEATLES ALBUM COVERS THROUGH THE CULTURAL CIRCUIT Meghan McGuire A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2005 Committee: Gary Heba, Advisor Andrew Mara ii ABSTRACT Gary Heba, Advisor Semiotics and visual rhetoric are a large part of technical communications. Technical communicators often use visuals within the documents they are writing and formatting. Visual rhetoric goes beyond the signs used for assistance; it's everywhere. One such example is album covers. Album covers are considered cultural images, but when looked at as a product, they travel through the cultural circuit. The cultural circuit looks to bridge the gap between cultural studies and technical communication. For this paper, the Beatles' album covers were used because of the great influence the band had on both music and visuals. Through a textual analysis of three Beatles' album covers; With the Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beatles ("The White Album") and the other six top selling albums of those years (1964, 1967, and 1969, respectively), were analyzed to learn if the Beatles covers were visual examples of Mikhail Bakhtin's monoglossia, heteroglossia and polyglossia. This is important to discover since this theory is ubiquitous in society (i.e democrat vs. republican, comedy vs. tragedy), and can be applied to images as well as texts and ideologies. The conclusions stated that while, in comparison to six other album covers of those years, With the Beatles, Sgt.

The language of “sonic branding” allows a discussion of what Günther Anders described as the self-creation of mass consumer but also the ghostly time- space of music in the broadcast world.
