This is the story about one of Oklahoma’s most successful oil producers and oil companies, Anderson Prichard Oil Corporation. James Stephen Anderson was born on September 9, 1885 in Chicago, Illinois. He was the son of Alexander and Jane Barron Anderson, both of whom were natives of Scotland. His father was a general contractor in Chicago. J. Steve Anderson as he preferred to be called was a graduate of Oak Park High School and then attained a law degree while in Chicago. In 1906, J. Steve Anderson, 21, read one of many news stories being published across the nation about the Oklahoma territory becoming a state.

  • PAUL YOUNG in the Middle of the 1980S, Paul Young Became One Of
    PAUL YOUNG In the middle of the 1980s, Paul Young became one of the biggest pop stars in the world, creating a body of work that endures to this day. A blend of the old school and new school, he was the epitome of someone who had worked his way up from – quite literally – the factory floor to become a superstar, scoring number one singles on both sides of the Atlantic. When he broke through in 1983, his Anthony Price besuited look was one of two iconic pop images in the UK that year. The other was David Bowie, then under his serious moonlight. Paul Young was born in the rock’n’roll era and grew up during the beat boom. Born in Luton in January 1956, he took piano lessons, was a self- taught guitarist, and as a teenager, fell under the thrall of Island Records. Young loved Free and because of them, he began listening to things around the margins, things that they listened to. He wanted to play bass like Andy Fraser and sing like Paul Rodgers. “I was always drawn towards to blues and soul.” Young recalls. “Even though Free had had a hit with ‘All Right Now’, they were a blues band, they knew they needed a pop song, so they wrote a pop song, and it was a hit. But when you look at their other stuff, they went straight back to the blues.” In 1972, aged 16, Young took up a position at the Vauxhall manufacturing plant in Luton, serving an apprenticeship just like his father before him.

  • Skegness Rock & Blues Festival 2020
    Overview of The Great British Rock & Blues Festival at Butlins, Skegness - January 2020 The weather was kind and the stages were set for yet another Great British Rock & Blues Festival in the Butlins resort at Skegness, Lincolnshire. Friday There is always a certain ‘buzz’ on a Friday afternoon in the Skyline Pavilion, where the Introducing Stage is located and today was no exception. The highlights for me were ‘Will Wilde’, who opened the festival with a harmonica driven blues rock performance, exuding a great deal of excited energy which certainly rubbed off on the audience. Also, the more traditional end of the blues spectrum with ‘Redfish’, the Cumbrian based masters of their art, with rhythm & blues at its best. One of the tightest bands I’ve seen with the added interest of the eccentric but brilliant keyboard player. A great sound and a great performance. Will Wilde Redfish As the evening approached, it was time to hit the main stages. First for me was ‘Johnnie ’Guitar’ Williamson & Blue Swamp’ in Centre Stage, or the Blues Stage. No stranger to the festival, Johnnie has played as Blue Swamp previously, in a different form. A good opener for the evening Johnnie ’Guitar’ Williamson & Blue Swamp One of my favourite bands ‘Catfish’, were playing on the new Blues Matters Stage in Hotshots. I had mixed feelings about the venue, which is the bowling alley and it proved just not big enough to accommodate the large number of Catfish fans. I did finally manage to get in for the last few numbers and Catfish did not disappoint.

  • Atomic Roosteratomic Rooster Are an English Progressive Rock Band, Originally Formed by Members of the Crazy World of Arthur
    Atomic Rooster Atomic Rooster are an English progressive rock band, originally formed by members of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, organist Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer, in 1969; original lineup of Vincent Crane (organ), Nick Graham (bass), and Carl Palmer (drums). Their debut album, Atomic Rooster, hit number 49 in the U.K. in June 1970, after which Graham and Palmer left the group. Crane maintained the name and recruited guitarist/singer John Du Cann and drummer Paul Hammond for the second album, Death Walks Behind You, which hit number 12 in the U.K., where it featured the number 11 single "Tomorrow Night," and number 90 in the U.S. Pete French of Cactus assisted on the third album, In Hearing Of, which featured the number-four U.K. single "The Devil's Answer" and reached number 18 in England and number 167 in America. Then the group split up again, and again Crane assembled a new Atomic Rooster, this time featuring singer Chris Farlowe, guitarist Steve Bolton, bassist Bill Smith, and drummer Rick Parnell. Made in England reached number 149 in the U.S. in 1972, but the group had split again by 1974. Throughout their history, keyboardist Vincent Crane was the only constant member, and wrote the majority of their material. Their history is defined by two periods: the early-mid-1970s and the early 1980s. The band went through radical style changes, but they are best known for the hard, progressive rock sound of their hit singles, "Tomorrow Night" (UK No. 11) and "The Devil's Answer" (UK No.

    2 be losing half your audience.” I’d had a difficult day on top of a difficult week, and so my reply was shorter than perhaps it should have been. I replied “No, not a party political one at any rate.” I now think that it was an interesting question, and one that deserves a more in depth answer. The short answer is that it depends about what one means by ‘political’. If you mean party political then the simple answer is ‘no’. We will not be endorsing any candidates in next year’s general election except possibly for Bez from the Happy Mondays who is standing for his own political party, the Reality Party, on a pro-permaculture and anti-fracking ticket. Quite apart from the amusing thought of Happy Mondays’ lunatic dancer on Prime Minister’s Question Time, his policies are un-impeachable.
