  • Amb70054 Tennessee.Pdf
    Welcome to Tennessee This collection contains 25 wonderful songs about the State of Tennessee. We’re going to bend the rules a little and begin by talking about a song that isn’t here because, the lyrics get us directly to two important points. Here are the opening words to Tennessee, a song written and recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955. Now there are folks who like to brag about where they came from But when they start that stuff I let ‘em be But it makes me feel like I want to brag some To know that I come from the state of Tennessee. Let’s give old Tennessee credit for music As they play it up in Nashville every day… Old Carl reminds us that most of the songs on each of these ‘State’ collections are really about bragging. The polite term is probably ‘regional pride.’ But you and I know it’s bragging, pure and simple. We know there’s lots of national pride among Americans, but never underestimate the feelings about one’s home state (or city, or neighborhood!) “Yeah, I’m an American and proud of it. But I’m also from Tennessee. And don’t you forget it!” Bragging is OK under some circumstances. Nobody likes to hear someone else go on about what he’s accomplished or how important he thinks he is. But if you want to raise the flag about where you were born or about your home town, most folks will cut you some slack. It’s not like you chose to be from Tennessee, and that little bit of arm’s length seems to give you permission to brag.

    Specht: Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes “Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes”: Slim Willet’s Idiosyncratic Chart-Topper Lives On1 Joe W. Specht ProducedSlim Willet bydecked The Berkeley out in his ‘Stars’Electronic outfit. Press, Courtesy 2009 Joe W. Specht. 1 Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 9 [2009], Iss. 1, Art. 4 “Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes”: Slim Willet’s Idiosyncratic Chart-Topper Lives on In the fall of 1952, and well on into 1953, the nation’s radio airwaves and jukeboxes were filled with the sound of “Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes.” The song, penned by Abilene disc jockey Slim Willet, was all the rage with four different versions in Billboard’s Country & Western Top 10. On Billboard’s Pop chart, Perry Como took the song to Number 1, selling over one million copies. Willet, born Winston Lee Moore on December 1, 1919, in Victor, Texas, (western Erath County), began his radio career in the late 1940s at Abilene’s Hardin-Simmons University. While working as student manager of KHSU, the school radio station, Moore adopted the pseudonym “Slim,” because he was anything but slender. He took Willet from the Willets, characters in 37 his favorite comic strip Out Our Way. After graduating from Hardin-Simmons in 1949, Slim went to work for Abilene radio station KRBC. He also wrote songs, and in 1950, he recorded one of his signature tunes, “I’m a Tool Pusher from Snyder,” for Dallas-based Star Talent Records.

    EVERLYPEDIA (formerly The Everly Brothers Index – TEBI) Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik EVERLYPEDIA PART 2 E to J Contact us re any omissions, corrections, amendments and/or additional information at: [email protected] E______________________________________________ EARL MAY SEED COMPANY - see: MAY SEED COMPANY, EARL and also KMA EASTWOOD, CLINT – Born 31st May 1930. There is a huge quantity of information about Clint Eastwood his life and career on numerous websites, books etc. We focus mainly on his connection to The Everly Brothers and in particular to Phil Everly plus brief overview of his career. American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim.
