David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young are each unbeliev- able songwriters and solo artists in their own right, but when their voices came together they created legendary harmonies and songs that have come to define a generation. THE MAGIC OF ERIC GILIAM Saturday, February 25 th at 3:00PM and 7:00 PM Tickets: $20 in advance/$15 for youth - $25 at door National talent sensation Eric Giliam returns to Green Valley to perform his popular stage show. Eric’s award winning magic, illusions, and stage presentation have taken him regularly over- seas, performing on prime time TV shows in London and Rome, and most recently doing an exclusive show in Spain. He contin- ues entertaining in the U.S., performing hundreds of public and private shows annually, most recently at the Monte Carlo and Paris hotels. The former World Teen Magic Champion has won many awards and prizes since he started performing at age twelve, including the award for the most original and innovative stage act presented to him by Siegfried and Roy in Las Vegas. Born and raised in Alaska, Eric first became fascinated with magic when he saw David Copperfield perform in his hometown of Anchorage. He thought the illusions he saw were incredible and soon after de- cided that performing this art on stage was going to be his life’s passion. Now 25 years old, Giliam likes to pay tribute to his birthplace by incorporating a winter scene into one of his acts. He will also bring to the stage a new grand illusion he has been working on with his female assistant that will add a new twist to the classic “separating a person in half.” This performance is sure to prove that not everything seen can be explained!

The Western Music Asso- ciation has named Stamey Entertainer of the Year six times, Male Performer of the Year five times, and Songwriter of the Year five times. He also holds the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists. As his friend Baxter Black says: "California gave us Buck Owen, the condor and Dave Stamey...I'll take Davey any day!" Dave Stamey has been a cowboy, a mule packer, a dude wrangler and is now one of the most popular Western entertainers working today. He has delighted audiences in twenty states and finds that he prefers this to being stomped by angry horses.

  • Swamp Sistas: Beth Mckee and a Socio-Musical Swamp Revival Online and Real Time
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Swamp Sistas: Beth McKee and a socio-musical swamp revival online and real time Author: Susan Wilson Mills Abstract Beth McKee, the singer/songwriter known for her Mississippi roots and music- recording career created a community of mostly American women known as the Swamp Sistas. Although the network was developed to energize McKee’s female fan base, it quickly became a virtual and real-time social fabric, where artists, authors, colleagues and friends weave an ongoing tapestry of tradition and renewal. McKee’s performances, tours, merchandise and albums ground the artistic and social reper- toire of the Swamp Sistas. The message of sharing with and supporting one another served as a powerful and creative vehicle for McKee’s musical presentations to new audiences. Her collaborations with educators, authors and artists fuelled the shared socio-musical trend, along with the performance venue she created in collabora- tion with the Swamp Sistas called the ‘La La’. The Swamp Sistas phenomenon is about fans who became co-creators. They inspired song lyrics, planned, staged and performed with McKee or in other groups at La Las, changing a musician and her audience into a community, complete with shared values and social engagement. This article describes the Swamp Sistas based on research in the field that included online and real time musical and social participant observation. Lessons from the swamp include emphasis on the participatory and co-creative culture of Swamp Sistas and implications for building community in music education settings.

There's No Easy Way To Say Goodbye nam hij eind jaren 80 op voor Malaco, deze Jelly Jelly begin jaren 60 voor Duke. 2 Jelly Jelly (Hines/Eckstine) Duke BOBBY BLAND Earl Hines & Billy Eckstine-compositie Jelly Jelly door Bobby Blue Bland, van invloed op Georgie Fame en The Allman Brothers; noteer de overeenkomst met Stormy Monday Blues dat ook aan Hines/Eckstine dient toegeschreven, hoewel The Allman Brothers hun versie oorspronkelijk aankondigden als "the old Bobby Bland song". Het orkest van Earl Hines zelf, mét Billy Eckstine. 3:07 3 Stormy Monday Blues (Hines/Eckstine) Bluebird EARL HINES 12 3:02 4 Call It Stormy Monday (Walker) Black & White T-BONE WALKER A18 Stormy Monday Blues van Earl Hines en Call It Stormy Monday van T- Bone Walker, which came first? Het vergt al hogere Originals-kunde om die twee uit elkaar te houden; menige credit die de ene had dienen te krijgen werd aan de andere verleend en omgekeerd. Bij Bobby Bland werd bovendien de foute titel gebruikt en dat werd bij coverversies na hem niet overal rechtgezet. Moraliteit: de maandag is en blijft een moeilijke dag om door te komen(!) en heb je last van een gebroken hart kun je altijd troost proberen te zoeken in de onuitputtelijke voorraad misgelopen liefdesliedjes van Bobby Blue Bland.

  • Tri-C Jazzfest Celebrates 40 Years by Mike Telin
    Tri-C JazzFest celebrates 40 years by Mike Telin It’s hard to believe, but Tri-C JazzFest will celebrate its 40th anniversary from June ​ ​ 27 through June 29 at Playhouse Square. The 2019 edition offers nine ticketed indoor shows featuring national artists, and seventeen free performances featuring local and regional bands on the outdoor stage. Click here for single tickets and here for festival ​ ​ ​ ​ passes. “Forty years, isn’t that something,” JazzFest director Terri Pontremoli said during a telephone conversation. “That’s why we decided to look inward at our own jazz history and our own heroes. So Cleveland is going to be well represented and I think that’s a good thing for us.” The Festival kicks off on Thursday, June 27 at 7:45 pm at the KeyBank State Theatre with the iconic Tower of Power. “We are so excited to have them — they are ​ ​ celebrating their 50th anniversary, and some of them are the original members,” Pontremoli said. “If you want a hoot, get on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts and listen to ​ ​ theirs.” On Friday, June 28 at 6:00 pm in the Ohio Theatre, JazzFest pays Tribute to Tadd ​ Dameron in a show that features the ​ ​ Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and Dianne Reeves. Pontremoli noted that Dameron was born in Cleveland and despite being an amazing composer and arranger, he lived a life of relative obscurity. “He arranged for some of the best people. That’s why I thought, if I’m going to do a tribute to Tadd, I want the best arranger out there, and to me, that’s John Clayton.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews Invisible invaders, smallpox and other diseases in Aboriginal Australia 1780–1880 by Judy Campbell, 266pp, Melbourne University Press, Melbourne 2002, $49.95 Judy Campbell’s Invisible invaders is a polished gem of historical research. It is one of those books which are fine to the feel, and its design, from cover to print-size to selec- tion of illustrations, is excellent. The writing style is clear, the evidence well presented, the Glossary useful, and the Notes, Bibliography and Index comprehensive. Any histo- rians or other researchers interested in the history of smallpox and other diseases in Aboriginal Australia will surely use this study as a cornerstone reference from now on. The subtitle of the book, ‘smallpox and other diseases in Aboriginal Australia 1780– 1880’, clearly indicates the major focus. However, the first two chapters present a very useful commentary on ancient Aboriginal diseases, as well as ancient diseases elsewhere in the world, and the impact of ‘virgin soil outbreaks’ of smallpox on Native Americans. The fine thread of comparison with the North American records is a useful reminder of the similar nature of the impact of virgin epidemics of smallpox, but the contrast, as the author also points out, provides a cautionary tale about jumping to incorrect conclusions as, in particular, the influential American scholars Butlin and Diamond did. Judy Campbell presents the Australian evidence in such a way as to nicely acknowledge historical sources and allow other theories to be examined, yet leads read- ers on lucid paths of greater understandings. Her key examinations, those of the various smallpox epidemics from 1789 to the 1860s, are as comprehensive as the records allow, and compelling in their deductions and summaries.
