  • Sidedoor Episode 2: Special Delivery TC: You Are Listening to Sidedoor, A
    Sidedoor Episode 2: Special Delivery TC: You are listening to Sidedoor, a podcast from the Smithsonian. I’m Tony Cohn and the theme for today’s show is special deliveries. We're going to bring you three stories about how sometimes the way something is delivered makes all the difference. To the prenatal care of teen moms at the Zoo to the power of making yourself the punchline. Alright, I’m going to turn it over to my co-host Megan Detrie. Talk to me a little bit more about where we go in this episode. MD: So for this episode I went on the hunt for some really good jokes. And that actually took me to the back hallways of the National Museum of American History, where we learned all about Phyllis Diller’s meticulously organized joke files. And then, we go across town to the National Zoo, ah, to go behind the scenes at the Great Ape House, where we were warned as we entered that the smell was going to be...very...pungent. TC: Wow, you’re so polite. MD: It lived up to it for sure. And there we met a pregnant and kind of ornery orangutan, who frankly spat at me. I still kind of like her. TC: Alright, as much as I kind of want to get to the spitting on you part, let’s leave the orangutan alone for a minute and focus on our first story. TC: You’ve probably heard of drone delivery, right? This idea that Amazon or some other big company will be able to send packages to your doorstep using a little flying drone.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

  • Big Mama Thornton 1 Big Mama Thornton
    Big Mama Thornton 1 Big Mama Thornton Big Mama Thornton Big Mama Thornton circa 1955-1960 Background information Birth name Willie Mae Thornton Born December 11, 1926 Origin Ariton, Alabama, United States Died July 25, 1984 (aged 57) Los Angeles, California, United States Genres Rhythm and blues, Texas blues Occupations Singer, songwriter Instruments Vocals, drums, harmonica Years active 1947–1984 Labels Peacock, Arhoolie, Mercury, Pentagram, Backbeat, Vanguard, Ace Records (UK) Associated acts Muddy Waters Blues Band, Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton (December 11, 1926 – July 25, 1984) was an American rhythm and blues singer and songwriter. She was the first to record Leiber and Stoller's "Hound Dog" in 1952, which became her biggest hit. It spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B charts in 1953[1] and sold almost two million copies.[2] However, her success was overshadowed three years later, when Elvis Presley recorded his more popular rendition of "Hound Dog". Similarly, Thornton's "Ball 'n' Chain" had a bigger impact when performed and recorded by Janis Joplin in the late 1960s. Style Thornton’s performances were characterized by her deep, powerful voice and strong sense of self. Many collaborators described her with words such as monstrous, intimidating, formidable, and menacing. Her nickname, “Big Mama Thornton,” was dubbed by Frank Schiffman, manager of Harlem’s Apollo Theater, due to her big voice, size, and personality. Thornton specialized in playing drums and harmonica as well as singing, and she taught herself how to play these instruments simply by watching other musicians perform.

  • A Yiddish Guide to Phyllis Diller 1917 - 2012
    A YIDDISH GUIDE TO PHYLLIS DILLER 1917 - 2012 Phyllis Diller was the grand dame of comedy. She was a pop culture icon for her jokes about looks, cooking, and fictional husband, “Fang.” She paved the way for Joan Rivers, Chelsea Handler, Roseanne Barr, Ellen Degeneres, and others. by Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe Syosset, New York Because of her last name and profession, people often assume she’s Jewish. Most Dillers are Jewish. (Think American businessman, Barry Diller, a second generation Austrian Jewish kid brought up in Beverly Hills. Diller served for 10 years as the Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures.) She is NOT Jewish! Diller had six children with her first husband, Sherwood Diller, who she married in 1939. She divorced him in 1965 and married Warde Donovan a month later. They divorced after 9 weeks. Dlller said, “I was so busy getting a divorce I didn’t have time to open my wedding gifts.” She had a 10-year affair with “the love of her life,” lawyer, Robert Hastings. She was trained as a classical pianist, but never pursued music as a career. She worked as a copywriter for a northern California newspaper, the San Leandro News- Leader, in the early 1950s. She took the stage (“di bine”) at San Francisco’s Purple Onion Club on March 7, 1955, for her first stand-up comedy performance. She appeared as a contestant on roucho Marx’s show, “You Bet Your Life” in 1957, and appeared on “The Love Boat.” “der man” (husband) Phyllis often joked about her husband, “Fang.” “Fang is so unmechanical.

(202-737-1234) Conference Director Alfred Bendixen Texas A&M University Draft as of March 5, 2014 This on-line draft of the program is designed to provide information to participants in our 25th conference and provide them with an opportunity to make corrections. Participants should check the description of their papers and panels to ensure that names and titles and other information are spelled appropriately. Times of Panels: If there is a conflict in the program (i.e., someone is booked to appear in two places at the same time), please let me know immediately. The program indicates that a few slots for business meetings are still available, but it will be difficult to make other changes. You can presume that the day of your panel is now fixed in stone (and it will not change without the concurrence of every person on that panel) but it may be necessary to make minor changes in the time of a panel. Audio-Visual Equipment: The program also lists the audio-visual equipment that has been requested for each panel. Please note that it may be difficult or impossible to add any audio-visual equipment at this point, but individuals may make such requests. The ALA normally provides a digital projector and screen to those who have requested it at the time the panel or paper is submitted.
