C As you’re riding along, about every fourth or fifth song, your father or mother or both stop the ongoing lecture regarding what a lout you’re liable to become by pointing out that this song, and that one, and yet another playing on the radio was written by a particular Oklahoman. Someone with the same heritage as you, the same background, the same sensibilities. And what started out as an eternal harangue about your grades, your hair and your room would almost turn optimistic. “Maybe there’s hope for you after all,” it would be said, “Jimmy Webb is from Oklahoma, and look how HE turned out!” 12 ionOklahoma OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 To be from the same locale as Jimmy Webb offers both a blessing and a curse to musicians or anyone wishing to become famous. Certainly any born-and-bred citizen of the Sooner State who has the opportunity to take a bow on the international stage should inspire the pants off those who dream for such things. However, there are few people in the universe, much less from Oklahoma, who will enjoy more than 50 years in the music busi - ness, while possessing an almost unlimited reservoir of talent from which some of the greatest popular songs of an entire generation were spawned. So, while you might have the opportunity to achieve any dream you wish, talent like Jimmy Webb’s is once in a lifetime. A portrait of Webb cannot be of the “point-and-shoot” variety. So, please forgive this helpless haze we’re in – you won’t be discovering here whether or not he needs us more than wants us, the soggy state of that blasted cake, or whether or not he’ll be back again, and again and again. Webb is the only artist to receive Grammy awards for music, lyrics and orchestration. He is a member of the National Academy of Popu - lar Music Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame; and, according to BMI, his “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” has been the third most performed song in the last 50 years, with “Up, Up and Away in the top 30 on the same list.

Trade patterns, gender roles, and political structure all changed with the redeployment of American citizens. Employment and Economic Traditions The early Creeks enjoyed a comfortable living based on agriculture and hunting. Trade expanded, and they began to sell not only venison, hides, and furs, but also honey, beeswax, hickory nut oil, and other produce.

  • As 'Macarthur Park' Turns 45, Jimmy Webb Will Play It in That Park - Los Angeles Times 10/16/13 12:35 PM
    As 'MacArthur Park' turns 45, Jimmy Webb will play it in that park - Los Angeles Times 10/16/13 12:35 PM ! Back to Original Article As 'MacArthur Park' turns 45, Jimmy Webb will play it in that park Jimmy Webb wrote the odd 1960s hit 'MacArthur Park,' recorded by Richard Harris. He has a sense of humor about it. And yes, he saw a cake left out in the rain. June 14, 2013 | By Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times Before becoming a widely lauded songwriter, Jimmy Webb was just another aspiring musician living in a dingy Los Angeles apartment. The Oklahoma transplant would wander from his low-rent flat in Silver Lake to a place that would inspire one of his most indelible hits, MacArthur Park. There, between Wilshire and 7th, he'd wait for his girlfriend to get off work from her job nearby. "I used to eat lunch in the park," said Webb, 66. "It was a place you could be away from the dreariness of a really bottom-scale apartment." The scenes he saw there day after day inspired him to write "MacArthur Park," the unlikely 1968 hit single sung by actor Richard Harris. TIMELINE: Must-see summer music Now, 45 years after the location he immortalized became an unlikely pop-culture touchstone, Webb will sing "MacArthur Park" in MacArthur Park on Saturday to kick off a summer concert series. It's a first for Webb, who's never performed the song at its namesake location. "MacArthur Park was — perhaps I'm painting it with the brush of nostalgia — a kind and gentle place," Webb said.

His role in the resurrection of long neglected woodwind instruments of extreme register, his innovation as a solo woodwind performer, and his reassertion of the composer into what has traditionally been an improvisational form have placed him at the forefront of contemporary music for over five decades. Mr. Mitchell is a founding member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians and the Trio Space. Additionally, Mr. Mitchell is the founder of the Creative Arts Collective, The Roscoe Mitchell Sextet, The Roscoe Mitchell Quartet, The Roscoe Mitchell Art Ensemble, The Sound Ensemble, The New Chamber Ensemble and the Note Factory. He has recorded over 100 albums and has written hundreds of compositions.

His most recent recording, Discussions, was counted among “The 25 Best Classical Music Recordings of 2017” by the New York Times. Also, for five decades, he has designed the Percussion Cage, an elaborate percussion instrument consisting of instruments from around the world, as well as many found instruments.

  • Judge James Martz
    Judge James Martz Published April 2008 by David A. Greene Judge Martz has devoted his career to making his community a better place for all. As a self- described “wild kid” growing up in Rockland County, New York, few would have anticipated the career path that Judge Martz would embark upon. However, it is apparent that he learned many important lessons from his father, a Police Officer, and his mother, a high school teacher whose classes he often visited as a child. At 20 years old, Judge Martz decided to leave New York to become a police officer in Santa Monica, California. To his father’s astonishment, Judge Martz got in his van and drove across country to take the necessary tests and enroll in the Los Angeles Sherriff’s Academy. Serving as a police office in California is where he met and worked with Scott Gordon, who became a life-long friend. After a few years in California, he returned home to Rockland County and served as a police officer for 15 more years, holding virtually every position within the department, from road sergeant to investigator. During this time, Judge Martz also kept busy maintaining a real estate development business. Judge Martz then made a decision that would change the course of his life. With the encouragement of his good friend, Scott Gordon, Judge Martz decided to leave the police force and attend law school. He and his wife moved to Parkland and attended Nova University, earning his degree in only two and one-half years. He interned at the State Attorney’s Office, but then spent a year in private practice.

  • BIOGRAPHY Jimmy Webb Is an American Songwriter, Composer
    BIOGRAPHY Jimmy Webb is an American songwriter, composer and singer known worldwide as a master of his trade. His timeless hits continue to be performed and recorded by the industry’s biggest names, and his new compositions span the musical spectrum from classical to pop. This past year saw his “Wichita Lineman” on the set list in three major artist tours – Guns N’ Roses, Little Big Town, and Toby Keith – and used prominently in an episode of the Netflix series Ozark. Not many artists can say they premiered a classical nocturne and had a rap hit with Kanye West (“Do What You Gotta Do” a central hook in “Famous”) in the same year, but Jimmy’s career is full of surprises. Since his first platinum record “The Worst That Could Happen,” Webb has had numerous hits including “Up, Up and Away,” “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman, “Galveston,” “Highwayman,” “All I Know” and “MacArthur Park,” and has also become a leader and mentor in the industry as a champion for songwriters. Webb is the only artist ever to have received Grammy Awards for music, lyrics and orchestration. His numerous accolades include the prestigious Ivor Novella International Award (2012) and the Academy of Country Music’s Poet Award (2016). In 2016 Rolling Stone magazine listed Webb as one of the top 50 songwriters of all time. Jimmy Webb was the youngest member ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and served as its Chairman. He has also served proudly as the Vice Chair of ASCAP. Time and again Webb has paved the way for songwriters in an ever-changing media landscape, spearheading the ongoing effort to preserve the rights of songwriters and their intellectual property in the digital age.
