The Gerald and Barbara Dowdy Collection Was Donated to the Memphis and Shelby County Room in January, 2013 by G The Gerald and Barbara Dowdy Collection Processed by Joan Cannon 2013 Memphis and Shelby County Room Memphis Public Library and Information Center 3030 Poplar Avenue Memphis, TN 38111 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTES GERALD AND BARBARA DOWDY COLLECTION The Gerald and Barbara Dowdy Collection was donated to the Memphis and Shelby County Room in January, 2013 by G. Wayne Dowdy. Comprising one 2 ½ inch box, the collection contains letters written by Gerald McLain Dowdy to his wife, Barbara Ann Nance Dowdy, and his parents John and Lucile Dowdy while he was on active duty with the Tennessee Army National Guard from October 1960 to July 1963. Also included in the collection are a letter and postcard to Barbara Ann Nance Dowdy from Myra Gale Brown Lewis, wife of rock ‘n’ roll performer Jerry Lee Lewis, as well as photographs and other miscellaneous items. The Gerald and Barbara Dowdy Collection provide a fascinating glimpse into the life of a soldier during the Cold War years of the early 1960s. The letters chronicle many of Dowdy’s day-to-day activities during Basic Training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and while he was on active duty at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and Fort Stewart, Georgia. Gerald M. Dowdy was born on October 17, 1942 in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Moving to Memphis with his parents during World War II, Dowdy joined the Tennessee Army National Guard’s 3rd Battalion, 115th Field Artillery Regiment, 30th Armored Division in July 1960 after graduating from Whitehaven High School. Achieving the rank of first sergeant, he served on active duty at several posts including Camp Shelby in Mississippi and Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Later he served in the Army Reserve where he was awarded the Army Achievement Medal. In a letter to his wife written in July, 1963 he described a typical day in an artillery regiment: “I fired 61 rounds at the forward position, the others fired 88 rounds. We went tactical at 1700 (5:00 PM) today and will be tactical until tomorrow at 1700. Tactical means no lights (I’m using a flashlight to write by)...no noise, wearing helmet, gas mask, rifle, canteen, first aid pouch and raincoat. Well, the capt. just came in and said to turn out my light.” Barbara Ann Nance Dowdy was born in Ripley, Mississippi on July 3, 1943 to William Herbert and Lurline Griffin Nance. As a young girl Barbara Nance Dowdy relocated to Memphis where she graduated from South Side High School in 1962. In addition to raising her sons Gerald Wayne and William Johnathan, Barbara Dowdy worked as a legal secretary for 24 years before her death on November 8, 2010. Researchers interested in the Cold War and Memphis during the 1960s will also want to consult the Jerry Lee Lewis, Everett R. Cook Oral History, John William McAfee, Hunter Lane, Jr., Marvin and Mary Bazemore and Memphians during War collections which are also housed in the Memphis and Shelby County Room.

  • Million Dollar Quartet” by Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux at the Hippodrome Theatre Through December 2
    “Million Dollar Quartet” By Colin Escott & Floyd Mutrux At the Hippodrome Theatre through December 2 By James Cooper MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS … PRODUCTION Flashing lights, shimmering jackets and long musical solos radiate through the production of “Million Dollar Quartet,” now at the Hippodrome Theatre. Though the special effects and costumes are beneficial in some instances, the show lacks emphasis in the one area it should stress the most: the music. The whole story focuses on the decisions of four major musicians from the 1950s: Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Music is the main concept within the script, but it certainly isn’t the main concept within the performance. The show focuses on a single event: the night that all four musicians of the “Million Dollar Quartet” were present in the same space at the same time, the Sun Records Studio in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Elvis (Cody Slaughter) used to be a member of the Sun Records family but then he switched to RCA, a bigger label. Since this change, Elvis has lost contact with his former producer, Sam Phillips (Vince Nappo). As Elvis returns with his girlfriend Dyanne (Kelly Lamont) he makes it clear to Sam that he wishes he had stayed at Sun. Sam too wishes that Elvis had stayed, but his main focus is now on producing Johnny (David Elkins) and the up-and-coming Jerry Lee (Martin Kaye). All the while Carl (Robert Britton Lyons) has to decide whether or not he wants to leave Sun Records or move on to Columbia.

  • Jay Richardson Brushes Away Snow That's Drifted Around
    When popular Beaumont deejay J.P. Richardson died on Feb. 3, 1959, with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, he left behind more than ‘Chantilly Lace’ … he left a briefcase of songs never sung, a widow, a daughter and unborn son, and a vision of a brave new rock world By RON FRANSCELL Feb. 3, 2005 CLEAR LAKE, IOWA –Jay Richardson brushes away snow that’s drifted around the corpse-cold granite monument outside the Surf ballroom, the last place his dead father ever sang a song. Four words are uncovered: Their music lives on. But it’s just a headstone homily in this place where they say the music died. A sharp wind slices off the lake under a steel-gray sky. It’s the dead of winter and almost nothing looks alive here. The ballroom – a rock ‘n’ roll shrine that might not even exist today except for three tragic deaths – is locked up for the weekend. Skeletal trees reach their bony fingers toward a low and frozen quilt of clouds. A tattered flag’s halyard thunks against its cold, hollow pole like a broken church bell. And not a word is spoken. Richardson bows his head, as if to pray. This is a holy place to him. “I wish I hadn’t done that,” he says after a moment. Is he still haunted by the plane crash that killed a father he never knew? Can a memory be a memory if it’s only a dream? Why does it hurt him to touch this stone? “Cuz now my damn hand is cold,” Richardson says, smiling against the wind.

Next to famous artists like Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis we present lesser known recordings by Sonny Burgess, Warren Smith or Carl Mann. A total of eight previously unreleased masters! Well-known titles combined with several unreleased alternate versions and demos! Extensive liner notes by Hank Davis, carefully remastered for the best possible sound. Hank Williams died too soon to know about Sun Records, but the folks at Sun surely knew about him.

We present issued records by major artists (Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis) – as well as lesser known Sun lights (Sonny Burgess, Warren Smith, Carl Mann) – along with originally unissued alternate takes, undubbed recordings and demos. It’s quite a range: male and female, black and white – they all took on Hank Williams. Sixteen different artists singing 16 different songs. Twenty-six tracks in total. The contrast is amazing.
