    Buz Waldmire: Springfield, IL Transcribed by Nora Hickey TABLE OF CONTENTS Origins of Waldmire Road – Dad’s background – origins of Dad’s restaurants and food products (Crusty Curs, Cozy Dog, Chili-wich) – first Cozy Dog restaurant on 6th St. – presence of interstate in 1960’s – first customers/business in restaurant – South 6th St in general – area and restaurant during Buz’s young adulthood – travelers at the restaurant in ‘60’s – transition of restaurant ownership from Dad to Buz – Route 66 business – family involvement in R66 – Bob Waldmire (brother) – Bob in IL – Bob as artist – Bob and R66 – Bob and Hackberry, AZ – Bob as defining R66 persona. DAVID DUNAWAY I’m wondering how you came to live on Waldmire Road in Rochester? BUZ WALDMIRE Well, this dates back prior to the 911 system, and when there wasn’t a 911 system and there was an emergency the local ambulances or fire departments pretty much knew where everyone lived. When they went into a 911 system, and I don’t know what was involved with that, if they had to pass legislation or whatever, but they set it up they said well, where do these people live, how do we give them an address? And somebody says, I know let’s call the power company! So they called the electricity company, and they had specific records and street locations for every transformer that they hung throughout the county and in the area. It just so happened that my dad was really one of the first people out here, so when the power company came out and hung the transformer and put in the electric for the house way back in the woods, they identified it as Waldmire Road.

MICHAEL WALLIS: My first summer in New Mexico, I didn’t have a car up there in Taos. I walked. Every other day I walked from the Wurlitzer Foundation to the post office, which was of course a big gathering place for everyone to get their mail. I carried a huge sycamore stick to literally beat dogs off of me. They finally learned. They were savage. I love animals, but these dogs were after my ass, and I just had to whack them a few times. Here I am again, an idealistic writer.

  • Country Music Country Music in Missouri Country Bios
    Country Music Country music is a genre of popular music that originated in the rural South in the 1920s, with roots in fiddle music, old-time music, blues and various types of folk music. Originally called “hillbilly music” and sometimes called “country and western,” the name “country music” or simply “country” gained popularity in the 1940s. Many recent country artists use elements of pop and rock. Country music often consists in ballads with simple forms and harmonies, accompanied by guitar or banjo with a fiddle. Country bands now often include a steel guitar, bass and drums. Country Music in Missouri Missourians love country music, as evidenced by the large number of country music radio stations, the number of country artists on festivals and presented by concert venues around the state, the country music artists who make their home and perform regularly in the popular tourist destination of Branson, Missouri, and the many Missouri musicians and bands who play country music in the bars and clubs in their local community. “The Sources of Country Music,” a painting by well-known Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton hangs in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Ralph Peer (1892-1960), born in Independence, Missouri, worked for Columbia Records in Kansas City until 1920 when he took a job for OKeh Records in New York and supervised the recording of “Crazy Blues” by Mamie Smith, the first blues recording aimed at African- Americans. In 1924 he supervised the first commercial recording session in New Orleans, recording jazz, blues and gospel music.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications COMPETITION AND PROGRAM TYPE DIVERSITY IN THE OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISION INDUSTRY, 1943-2005 A Thesis in Mass Communications by Young Shin Cho © 2007 Young Shin Cho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Young-Shin Cho was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard Taylor Palmer Chair of Telecommunications Studies and Law Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Matt Jackson Associate Professor of Communications Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of Communications Lynette Kvasny Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.

  • Birthplace of Route 66 Slipping Into the Circle Inn
    BIRTHPLACE OF ROUTE 66 SLIPPING INTO THE CIRCLE INN IN BOURBON, MISSOURI PAGE12 ROUTE 66 IN ILLINOIS , Historic Route 66 stretches across the U.S. from Chicago to Los Angeles. Along the way, in Lebanon, Missouri is a growing popular landmark stop for any history enthusiast, tourist, or local Ozark resident. Shepherd Hills Factory Outlets started in the outlet business in 1972 as an outlet for locally made Walnut Bowls. Ida and Rea Reid, founders, began their entrepreneurship operating a motel in the 1960's called the Capri Motel which was located right along Route 66, known today as Interstate 44. ' They sold the Capri Motel in 1966 and along with their sons, Rod and Randy, started a new business in 1972 called the Shepherd Hills Gift Shop which was leased as a part of the Shepherd Hills Motel and happened to be located in virtually the same spot as the Capri Motel. Later, as they began expanding, they bought a portion of the motel as well as the gift shop and began construction of their current building in 1999. In the meantime, Shepherd Hills added additional locations including those in Osage Beach,MO, Branson, MO, and Eddyville, KY , and brought in other quality products to the lineup including Chicago Cutlery,Denby Pottery, and of course Case X,-X pocketknives--making the latter also available through catalog mail order and eventually on the web at www.CaseXX.com. Lebanon is one of the best places to see the Mother Road, which was officially named right here in Missouri. You can drive a 5-mile section of the original road, and commemorative Route 66 signs will help guide your drive.
