  • 2 Tansas Gazette - North East Louisiana
    . 2 Tansas Gazette - North East Louisiana ======= Map of North Eastern Louisiana Waterproof, La is in the Southern portion of Tansas Parish, La. It is 199 miles from New Orleans. During the era of the cotton plantations the population of the parish was 90% slaves. There were many dances in the parish's leading cities - Waterproof, Newellton and St. Joseph. There were few concerts given and few organized brass or string bands. Jazz music was first mentioned in the newspaper in 1921. 1881 May 7 - The Ball, Wednesday Night In response to an invitation sent us, we attended the ball given by the Tensas "rifles, at Masonic Hall, on the evening of the 4th. As we predicted last week, everyone who attended had an ice time, and to say that it was a success but faintly expressed it. The band - Kaisers, from Natchez - came on the Rebstock, about 6:30 and about 9 p.m. the ladies and their escorts began to arrive, and despite the warmth of the evening, number of them were soon whirling in the dizzy mazes of the waltz. "From that time until the hour appointed for supper, the dancers held the floor, and "chased the giddy hours with flying fee" to the music of quadrille, heel and toe, the waltz and the Lancers. The assemblage was the largest, we learn, of any that has attended a ball here during the season. 1882 November 4 - Brass Band We learn that the Waterproof Brass Band has organized a series of open-air concerts, in the form of night serenades to their friends in the several neighborhoods in the vicinity of the town.

    WILLIAM RUSSELL also ptesent; August 31, 1962 Reel I-Digest-Retype William R. Hogan 1L Paul R. Crawford First Proofreading: Alma D. Williams William Russell was born February 26, 1905, in Canton, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. His first impressive musical experiences were hearing tlie calliopes on the excursion and show boats which ^ came to and by Canton. He first wanted to play bass drum when lie heard the orchestra in his Sunday School, but he began playing violin when he was ten. His real name is Russell William Wagner. In about 1929 Tne began writing music; Henry Cowell published some of his music in 1933 and WR decided the use of the name Wagner 6n music would be about equal to writing a play and signing it Henry [or Jack or Frank, etc,] Shalcespeare, so he changed his name for that professional reason. His parents are of German ancestry. His father had a zither, which WR and a brother used for playing at .r concerts a la Chautauqua. He remembers hearing Negro bands on the boats playing good jazz as early as 1917 or 1915, and he was fascinated by it, although he felt jazz might contaminate his classical studies. He played in\^ fraternity band at college. He y studied chemistry at college although his main interest was music, He went to Chicago to continue studying music in 1924, and he says 1^e didn't have sense enough to go to the places where King Oliver/ the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and others were playing then, and he has since regretted that.
