    FOREWORD by Tom Miller

    Dave Stogner Only A Memory Away - The Dave and Vi Stogner Story (A history of his music and their romance) FOREWORD By Tom Miller It could have been disconcerting for the young fiddle player on the stage. Early evening in an empty honky-tonk, it's still light out. It's the beginning of the 1980's and we are in the middle of the Urban Cowboy scare. “Hat Acts” were all the rage at that time, too. Resistol rock and roll babies are playing Country music to thin air. The front door is open--there is no way to stop the momentum of Dave Stogner's entrance. The erect sixty-something cowboy with the square jaw marches directly to the middle of the sunken dance floor at O.T. Price's Music Hall and kneels, elbow on higher knee, hand on chin, eyes fixed on young fiddle player. Rodin's ”Thinker,” Stogner's “Fiddle Contemplator.” No sense being rattled. The fiddler played right to the chiseled Western Swing bandleader. If there is a big linebacker you might as well run right at him, if you can't get around him. Stogner was not moving. My attention turned to making sure we had enough Jack Daniels and beer stocked for the night--bartending was my intro to the concert coordinating business. A few minutes later Dave walked directly toward me at the bar, wearing a Texas sized grin spanning Waco to Juarez. The fiddle player that night would do just fine. I was in my late twenties and loved all kinds of music, except most produced pop stuff.

We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

    The Virginian's Cultural Clashes

    The Virginian’s Cultural Clashes A Study of Cultural Representation in Owen Wister’s novel The Virginian By Karoline Aksnes Master’s Thesis Department of Foreign Languages University of Bergen November 2012 Samandrag på Norsk Denne oppgåva tek føre seg korleis kulturelle ulikskapar er framstilte i Owen Wister sin roman The Virginian frå 1902. Handlinga i boka utspelar seg i dei nyleg etablerte vestlege grensetraktene av USA, der immigrantar frå ymse kulturelle og sosiale samfunnslag samlast og saman skal skapa eit felles samfunn. Dei tre hovudkarakterane i romanen representerer ulike kulturelle perspektiv og ambisjonar for korleis eit samfunn bør vera, og desse ulike verdiane vert knytte til den sentrale konflikten mellom den amerikanske vesten og den etablerte austkysten. Usemja mellom dei to motståande verdisyna kjem særskilt fram i problemstillingar som gjeld næringsgrunnlag, sosial etablering og institusjonelle lover og reglar. The Virginian følgjer desse karakterane, og det lokale samfunnet dei lever i, gjennom eit halvt tiår med kulturell utvikling og grunnleggande samfunnsendring. Forteljarstemma, som og verkar som ein av dei tre hovudkarakterane i boka, tilhøyrer ein akademisk ung mann med verdiar som er forma på den urbane og kultiverte austkysten, noko som ser ut til å påverka framstillinga hans. Det samfunnet han skildrar som den amerikanske vesten er på mange sett eit romantisk ideal med særeigne normer, og på denne måten underbyggjer romanen det mytiske omdømet den amerikanske vesten har fått. Hovudfokuset i denne oppgåva er å utforska korleis dei kulturelle ulikskapane mellom aust og vest er framstilte, og kva kulturelle endringar som vert skildra gjennom den tida handlinga utspelar seg.
