  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

In 1920 they moved into Regina where Alex found employment as a gardener, then as a teamster for the City of Regina Parks Board. The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley.

  • Sons of the Pioneers Charity Benefit Concert
    SONS OF THE PIONEERS CHARITY BENEFIT CONCERT The legendary Sons of the Pioneers will be appearing in concert on Saturday evening, November 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Victor Valley College Performing Arts Center, in Victorville, California. This special charity performance will benefit the abused children served by the Happy Trails Children’s Foundation in Apple Valley, California. For decades, the Sons of the Pioneers have musically painted unforgettable images of the West; horses, cattle, cowboys, trails, tall timber, canyons and prairies. Their original songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Cool Water” are classics forever entwined into the lore and mystique of the American West. Both songs have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Sons of the Pioneers are the most highly awarded singing group of all time. Among their many prestigious awards, they have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame – Hall of Great Western Performers, for their legacy of works in literature, music, film and television that reflect the significant stories of the American West. The Smithsonian Institute named them as “National Treasures.” The Sons of the Pioneers history began in the fall of 1933 when a young man from Duck Run, Ohio, Leonard Slye, then only 22 years of age and living in Southern California, contacted two of his friends, Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer, to form a musical group. They worked long and hard to develop a unique close harmony sound that has had an enduring influence on American music to this day.

  • IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005
    The summer ’05 show in Waukee I RCHS Iowa Antique Radio Club and Historical Society IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005 Usually by this time of year, I’d be remarking about “the frost on the pumpkin” and so on as I hunkered down to write the fall newsletter. But with the autumn we’ve had so far, I’ve been too busy soaking up rays while I finished cutting firewood – in a “T” shirt – to get serious about any indoor activities yet; including the newsletter. But, the tree color and the calendar finally convinced me that this can’t last, so it was time to pull together a quarterly report of club events…. We had another nice crowd for the show n conjunction with the Mid-Iowa Hawkeye antique power fair in Waukee again this I haven’t talked Dean into becoming a year. I didn’t manage to muster any other member just yet (he splits his time between members to help, but had a ball as usual Iowa & Colorado with frequent trips all over visiting with the crowd, young and old alike including a recent stint in Baghdad where he and on Saturday, to my surprise a friend was working to help restore their electrical from my high school days, a traveling grid), but he sure seemed to have fun talking engineer who is working in the Grimes area to the crowd and playing the old sets in the for the next year or so, wandered through display, so he’s still a potential member. and wound up taking a couple turns behind the display.

  • “It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”-- Kitty Wells (1952)
    “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”-- Kitty Wells (1952) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by John Rumble (guest post)* Kitty Wells When Kitty Wells first recorded for Decca Records in 1952, she had toured for years with her husband, Johnnie (later Johnny) Wright, and his partner, Jack Anglin. But the mother of three was tired of the road, and earlier sessions for RCA had yielded no hits. This time, her main concern was the session fee she would earn. Wells had moved back to Nashville, her hometown, with Johnnie & Jack on the strength of that duo’s 1951 hit “Poison Love,” their entrée to the Grand Ole Opry cast. Now, with Johnnie’s prospects looking up, she pondered leaving full-time entertaining altogether. As it turned out, Wells’s “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” her first Decca release, quickly scaled “Billboard” magazine’s country charts. The hit made Wells a major star, and an Opry member in her own right. To be sure, country music had boasted successful female artists since the 1920s. The Carter Family’s Sara and Maybelle Carter, cowgirl singer Patsy Montana, and Opry comedienne Minnie Pearl had already won national fame. But Wells was the first to reach #1 in the decade after World War II, when country entered its takeoff phase. In these years, American women faced enormous pressures to leave their wartime jobs, renounce political concerns, and return to keeping house and raising children. Popular magazines, psychologists, and men (whose jobs women had filled) all told them so.

Dewees: “Ain’t My Mama’s Broken Heart”: The Mothers and Daughters of Hill “Ain’t My Mama’s Broken Heart”: The Mothers and Daughters of Hillbilly Feminism Alyssa Dewees, University of Florida Abstract: The women of country music have long defied the genre's patriarchal associations and used their music as a platform for subversive social messages about gender inequality, and in the past several decades, the country music establishment has grown more willing to alter its image and accommodate these feminist themes. Because country music is marketed and understood by many of its fans as a representation of a lifestyle, this shift in expectations for women’s social roles and possibilities in the genre has an impact on the women who identify themselves with the particular rural, down-home image country music aims to define.
