I would like to express my hearty thanks to my supervisors, who supported me in various ways in bringing this work to completion. I therefore take this opportunity to mention Prof. Dr. Ulrich Dehn, Prof Dr. Corinna Körting and Prof. Dr. Werner Kahl. Your constructive criticisms and the insights you gave me at various stages of this work have contributed in no small way to make the dream of writing this dissertation a reality. I remain grateful. I am also grateful to my Church, the Presbyterian Church of Ghana for allowing me to pursue this further study. Your spiritual and non spiritual support to me and my family during the period of working on this dissertation cannot go unrecognized.

The encouragement and support from friends also have to be acknowledged. I am indeed grateful to you all. May the good Lord bless you all. The same can be said of my parents and my siblings whose prayer support and encouragement need to be acknowledged. The last but not the least, I would like to express my profound appreciation to my wife Golda and our children, Immanuel, Stephanie and Ephraim for their love, sacrifice, and support during the course of writing this dissertation.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

  • Willie Hugh Nelson Est Né Le 29 Avril 1933 À Abbott, Périphérie De Fort Worth (Texas), Pendant La Grande Dépression
    Willie Hugh Nelson est né le 29 avril 1933 à Abbott, périphérie de Fort Worth (Texas), pendant la Grande Dépression. Il sera élevé par ses Grands Parents (ses parents, sa mère Myrle Marie (née Greenhaw et son père Ira Doyle Nelson divorcent alors que Willie n’a que 6 mois). Son grand-père forgeron décèdera lorsque Willie à 6 ans. En dehors de l’école il va travailler dans les champs de coton ou de maïs pour s’acheter des fournitures scolaires. Sa Grand-mère, cantinière, gagne 18 $ par jour et s’occupe de sa famille. Autour de sa 5ème année Willie apprend la musique sur une guitare ’’ Harmony ‘’ que lui achète son grand père, à partir d’un catalogue de vente par correspondance ‘’ Sears and Roebuck ‘’. Sa grand-mère commence à lui montrer quelques accords ; sa sœur Bobbie, aînée de 2 ans, joue du piano. A 7 ans Willie écrit sa première chanson et à 9 ans il chante dans un groupe local, les ‘’Bohemian Polka’’. Après ses études secondaires Willie occupe plusieurs emplois : vendeur d’encyclopédies en faisant du porte-à-porte, puis représentant de machines à coudre Singer. Willie commence à jouer dans des orchestres puis intègre l'US Air Force en 1950. En 1956 Il reprend quelques études à l'université Baylor de Waco, mais abandonne rapidement celles-ci et une future carrière d’agriculteur pour devenir musicien et disc jockey et se destiner à la Country Music. S'installant à Vancouver, dans l'état de Washington, le jeune homme débute dans les clubs, tentant d'imposer son style folk sudiste traditionnel face à un public globalement indifférent à ce genre.

  • Destination Anywhere an Insider’S Tour of Hometown Music Scenes, Past and Present
    by RichaRd SkanSe Destination anywhere An insider’s tour of hometown music scenes, past and present. Austin tLive Musicex Capital Aof the sWorLd deStination anywheRe auStin, texaS continued it’s A Lot to Live up to, that Texas-sized boast about being the “Live Music Capital of the world.” Austin adopted it as their official slogan in 1991, with no voting or formal competition for the title involved, of course, apart from the city council members who did have the modesty to rule out the slightly more inflated “Live Music Capital of the Universe.” As such, it’s a claim to fame as open for debate as any truck stop’s self-proclaimed “world’s Best Coffee” or w“ orld Famous Chicken-Fried Steak.” The appropriate response to any such pronouncements should always be a certain degree of skepticism: “Prove it.” The key word in this case is “live.” For district. And when visitors arrive at Austin- the better part of the last 40 years, the best Bergstrom International Airport, they’re in Texas—and a good many notables from immediately greeted by Texas music, be it beyond—have all found themselves drawn piped through the terminal sound system or to the center of the state and used the capital live onstage, right in the concourse, as part city’s many stages to launch, or even re-launch, of the “Music in the Air” concert series. their music careers. Austin is where Abbott, does all of that merit the “Live Music Texas native willie Nelson reinvented himself Capital of the world” title? Clearly, it as an “outlaw,” spearheading the progressive doesn’t hurt.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

I'd been rooting around the History Department where, at age forty-one and only twenty years behind schedule, I'd finished my undergraduate degree. I had the academic bug and I wanted to move on to graduate school. Professor David Montejano was kind enough to let me sit in on one of his graduate courses to allow me to get a feel for what graduate work involved. As the seminar wound down, he suggested that I check out the AMS program on the third floor of Garrison Hall. I looked through the courses the department had been offering over the last few semesters and after noticing subjects like film history, jazz, a large collection of topics in popular culture, and seminars dealing with drugs, alcohol, and the beat generation, I knew I'd found a new home.
