  • K. Lee Graham Miss Teen Usa 2014
    K. LEE GRAHAM MISS TEEN USA 2014 K. Lee Graham of Chapin, South Carolina became Miss Teen USA on August 2nd at Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas. Hours after being crowned, the 18-year-old honors student arrived in New York City still in disbelief that the new title as Miss Teen USA was really hers. The small town of Chapin is home to one of South Carolina’s most academically competitive high schools (Chapin High) where K. Lee currently holds a 5.024 GPA and is ranked number one in her class. She believes that education is the foundation for anything you wish to accomplish in life which K. Lee has promoted in classrooms across the country throughout her reign. Born Katherine Lee, the abbreviation for K. Lee (“Kaylee”) stuck after her youngest sister couldn’t quite pronounce her full name and therefore took the liberty to shorten it to include only the first letter “K.” Passionate about theater, the teen who describes herself as quirky and a “drama nerd” has studied drama at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities’ intensive summer program as well as participated in several local productions. K. Lee is the second oldest of five children and has been raised to be penny-wise to save for the college of her choice. As a member of the SAT Team which preps students for the test, K. Lee will attend the University of South Carolina Honors College where she plans to study international business and marketing this fall with several scholarships.

  • Chicago Music Communities and the Everyday Significance of Playing Jazz
    MUSIC PRACTICES AS SOCIAL RELATIONS: CHICAGO MUSIC COMMUNITIES AND THE EVERYDAY SIGNIFICANCE OF PLAYING JAZZ by John Frederic Behling A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark Allan Clague, Chair Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Kelly M. Askew Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett Copyright John Frederic Behling 2010 Acknowledgements In this dissertation, I argue that the solos of jazz musicians spring from the practices of the communities in which they live. What holds true for expression and creativity in jazz is no less true of academic research and writing. This dissertation would not be possible without the support and encouragement of many communities and individuals. I thank all the musicians in Chicago who played music with me and welcomed me into their communities. I am especially grateful to Aki Antonia Smith, Edwina Smith, Scott Earl Holman, and Ed Breazeale for befriending me and introducing me to the musicians and communities about whom I write. I am also grateful for the support of my academic community. Kelly Askew introduced me to the anthropological side of ethnomusicology. Her writing showed me what compassionate and concrete ethnography should be like. Paul Anderson’s late night seminars helped me understand that musical practices have philosophical and psychological significance and that jazz criticism is part of a much larger and long- standing intellectual conversation. Charles Hiroshi Garrett, a late addition to my committee, embraced this project with enthusiasm. His generous encouragement and insightful comments are greatly appreciated.
