Page 2 Highway Official’s Trade Show by Marty Boehme Members of the Museum displayed vehicles at a trade show during a Western Regional Highway Officials conference held at the Marriott Hotel in Portland this summer. The three vehicles displayed were an early six- ties Ford Falcon, a Corvair van, and a restored Benroy teardrop trailer decorated with a Coca Cola theme. Bill Jabs displayed the rare1965 Cor- vair 8-Door Greenbrier Delux Passenger Van which is equipped with a 110 h.p. engine, automatic transmission, and rare bucket seats. It seats eight comfortably with original seat belts for each person. Chevrolet made the Greenbrier for only two months in 1965 because they were introduc- ing a replacement front engine model that was not ready at beginning of the model year. This van took Best of Show at the 2008 Corvair Interna- tional Convention in Ventura, California and placed second in the Com- mercial Class at the 2008 Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance.

The Museum would like to publicly recog- nize all of those supporters who purchased stones by listing their names below. Those who have purchased more than one paver have the number of pavers in parentheses after their names.

The AACA meeting is from October 8 (Thursday) through October 10 (Saturday). Some persons invited to the formation meeting last October expressed wishes for the meeting to be held on Friday rather than on Saturday. It remains an open question, and it would be helpful if those who expect to at­ tend the meeting would express a preference for the day and hour for this proposed meeting. At this meeting we may have a distinguished member from overseas . To date there have been no vo i ces r aised concerning the f requency of appearance of a r elatively few names in the Newslett er.

  • Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay
    Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay “Way Down Upon the Hudson River: Tin Pan Alley's New York Triumph” Rachel Rubin, Professor of American Studies, University of Massachusetts Broadway in the 1920s was a showcase for the sweeping changes transforming American culture in the early 20th century, including new roles for women, the mixing of social classes in new settings like Prohibition-era speakeasies and creative innovation by African Americans in jazz clubs and music halls. Sons of immigrants from Europe -- including the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen -- made up a large percentage of the new word and music smiths writing for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway’s musical revues. Their syncopated rhythms borrowed from the jazz craze and their lyrics helped create a vibrant, witty new American argot. Tin Pan Alley and Broadway contributed such classic standards as “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” (Berlin), “I Got Rhythm” (Gershwin and Gershwin), “Ol’Man River,” (Kern and Hammerstein), “Stormy Weather” (Arlen and Koehler), “Ain’t Misbehavin’” (Razaf, Waller, Brooks), “Anything Goes” (Porter) and many more. These songs formed the musical backdrop of an era. The production of these songs also became big business. The first major book written about Tin Pan Alley was published in 1930 by Harvard professor Isaac Goldberg, and it was subtitled “A Chronicle of the American Popular Music Racket.” Goldberg’s humorous use of the word “racket” captured something about the origins of the name “Tin Pan Alley” given to the music composed by poorly-paid songwriters banging away in cubicles in downtown New York City on cheap pianos.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.
