Khe Sanh artist:Cold Chisel , writer:Don Walker Thanks to Bruce Horsfall and Chris Hughes I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market man I’ve had the Vietnam cold turkey from the ocean to the silver city And it’s only other vets could understand About the long forgotten dockside guarantee How there were no V-day heroes in 1973 How we sailed into Sydney Harbour saw an old friend but couldn’t kiss her She was lined and I was home to the lucky land And she was like so many more from that time on Their lives were all so empty till they’d found their chosen one And their legs were often open but their minds were always closed And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket lean And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been But the car parks made me jumpy and I never stopped the dreams Or the growing need for speed and novocaine So I worked across the country end to end Tried to find a place to settle down where my mixed up life could mend Held a job on an oil rig flying choppers when I could But the nightlife nearly drove me ‘round the bend And I’ve travelled ‘round the world from year to year And each one’s found me aimless one more year the worse for wear And I’ve been back to South East Asia and the answer sure ain't there But I’m drifting north to check things out again You know the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone Only seven flying hours and I’ll be landing in Hong Kong There ain't nothing like the kisses from a jaded Chinese princess I’m gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long Well the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone You know the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone And It’s really got me worried I’m going no-where and I’m in a hurry And the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone You know the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone You know the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone And it’s really got me worried I’m going no-where and I’m in a hurry And the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone.

Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.

Where ever he played and in whatever venue (café, outdoor concert, club) or line up (from solo to full on band) the crowds were huge, bopping and excited. Venues were full to capacity and then some! During a sidewalk café appearance, the crowds spilled onto the street & stopped traffic! Apart from his musical gifts, Paul was appreciated by festival management as a source of information regarding other artists, and brought great energy, inspiration and spirit to our Festival. People raved for weeks afterwards, and purchased Paul’s CD’s aplenty, and we have had considerable requests since the festival as to where & when Paul might play again. ” Ross Eggleton, Festival Director Eevi Stein, Festival Coordinator & Publicity Kiama Jazz & Blues Festival April 1- 3 2011 PAUL ROBERT BURTON (Songwriter, Producer, Sound Engineer, Upright Bass, Foot Drums, Guitarlele, Harmonicas, Ocarinas and Vocals) www.paulrobertburton.com www.reverbnation.com/paulrobertburton www.youtube.com/paulrobertburton Paul Robert Burton is a Multi-tasking, Multi-instrumentalist, Singer, Songwriter, Producer and Sound Engineer.

Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, 1875-1972
Guide to the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, 1875-1972 Brooklyn Public Library Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn, NY 11238 Contact: Brooklyn Collection Phone: 718.230.2762 Fax: 718.857.2245 Email: [email protected] www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org Processed by Lisa DeBoer, Lisa Castrogiovanni and Lisa Studier. Finding aid created in 2006. Revised and expanded in 2008. Copyright © 2006-2008 Brooklyn Public Library. All rights reserved. Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

Between New Year’s Eve and the second weekend of February, they’ll do gigs on the beach, gigs by the river and gigs in the bush. You’ve never seen anything like it before.

Ten Best Australian Songs
MEDIA RELEASE Embargoed until 28 May 2001 at 11.00pm THE FINAL LIST: APRA’S TEN BEST AUSTRALIAN SONGS “Friday on My Mind” has been on the minds of Australians since 1967, earning itself the number one position on APRA’s list of Ten Best Australian Songs. The Harry Vanda/George Young composition was honoured at the 2001 APRA Music Awards in Sydney tonight, with an electrifying performance of the song by You Am I featuring special guest guitarist, Harry Vanda himself. After weeks of speculation, APRA revealed the ten best and most significant Australian songs of the past 75 years at tonight’s Awards ceremony, which featured an extraordinary, poignant and sometimes humorous retrospective of classic Australian music. Voted by 100 distinguished Australian writers, musicians, critics and broadcasters, the complete APRA Top 30 list was compiled to celebrate APRA’s 75th anniversary, and to honour the songwriters who have provided the soundtrack for generations of Australians. While numbers 11-30 were announced earlier this month, APRA saved details of the big ten until tonight’s celebrations. Originally immortalised by Vanda and Young’s 1960s group The Easybeats, “Friday on My Mind” was subsequently covered by David Bowie. Tonight’s rocking version capped off APRA’s biggest Awards night ever. Ross Wilson was on hand to sing the number 2 song, “Eagle Rock,” which he penned for his group Daddy Cool and made a hit in 1971. A video tribute to the number 3 song, Midnight Oil’s classic “Beds Are Burning,” was introduced by Senator Aden Ridgeway, Australian Democrats Deputy Parliamentary Leader and spokesperson for Reconciliation.

Whiter Rock: Why the Easybeats Didn't Suceed In
Oz Rock and the ballad tradition in Australian popular music ‘While we are sitting here, singing folksongs, in our folksong clubs, the folk are somewhere else, singing something different.’ Quoted in Jeff Corfield ‘The Australian Style’1 Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and the Twilights, discussed in chapter one, were manifestations of an Australian popular music sensibility which was fundamentally European-derived, white. It was a tradition that valued melody, musical linearity and lyrical clarity. These bands, in particular Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, and the Easybeats, laid the basis for the flowering of Australian rock in the 1970s and for Oz Rock groups such as Rose Tattoo, the Angels, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, and, in the 2000s, You Am I and Powderfinger among others.2 This tradition has continued to blend melody with strong guitar riffs and a big beat. Billy Thorpe’s self-penned ‘Most People I Know (Think That I’m Crazy)’, released in 1972, with its melody, driving beat and anthemic chorus combined with an emphasis on the lyrics, provided a template for Australian rock, for a tradition of bands—those Oz Rock bands that I mentioned above—whose success in Australia has, in the main, continued to be far greater than what they have achieved overseas.3 This tradition continues to privilege elements drawn from the white, European musical tradition over influences from African-American, and other Black musics. This hard rock development in Australia has another strand, the importance of the traditional ballad tradition and, along with this, the influence of American country music.
