Clinton Gryce Kilpatrick was born on November 5, 1934. As Bert Glenn said to Irwin Henderson while plowing the nearby fields, “There’s a new package at John’s”. Clinton was the only child of John Kilpatrick and Annie Kilpatrick (McKee) whose Scots-Irish ancestors had immigrated to Amherst Island from County Down Ireland between 1830 and 1860. Clinton grew up at the Kilpatrick homestead on the Third Concession and lived on the Island until his later years. And he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Clinton, by his own admission, was a bit of a John Kilpatrick and Clinton rascal and enjoyed telling us about some of his 1 exploits as a child.

  • 05 – Spinning the Record
    IV. THE GOLDEN AGE Expanding horizons, shrinking the world It may come as a surprise for many to think of the era 1940-1956 as the Golden Age of art music recording. After all, throughout most of this period the primary sound carrier was still the 78-rpm record with all its limitations, not least of which was a narrow bandwidth and attendant surface noise, to say nothing of its short playing time and a breakability factor which became even worse after World War II. Yet from a musical standpoint, there was so much going on, most of it captured on discs for posterity, that one could have realistically lived their entire musical lives during this period and been extremely happy. At the beginning of this period, for instance, one could still hear the great idiosyncratic classical performers of the previous era, in person, on radio and/or on records, among them Mengelberg, Huberman, Schnabel, Kreisler, Furtwängler, Cortot and Thibaud; the great modern-style innovators such as Kipnis, McCormack, Schiøtz, Menuhin, Heifetz, Feuermann, Toscanini, Fritz Reiner, Szigeti, Gieseking and Rubinstein; and, at the other end of the era, such startlingly innovative musicians as Glenn Gould, Guido Cantelli, Maria Callas, Tito Gobbi, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Claudio Arrau, Gyorgy Cziffra, Dmitri Mitropoulos, Robert Craft, Dinu Lipatti, David Oistrakh, Charles Munch, Noah Greenberg and Ginette Neveu. Some- where or other in the world, you could hear Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud, Richard Strauss, Francis Poulenc or Benjamin Britten performing their own music. As for the jazz and folk worlds, they were even more historical and exciting.

These authors’ first encounter with this brilliant artist was through his participation at the Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Concert. To collect all his records ha s become an obsession! Early history: One of nine children, his father was a railroad blacksmith. Played guitar, violin, and occasionally cornet whilst still at school.

  • Noble Sissle (July 10, 1889 – December 17, 1975)
    May Aufderheide (May 21, 1888 – September 1, 1972) May Frances Aufderheide Kaufman was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and an American composer of ragtime music. The participation of women in the world of ragtime should not come as a great surprise. May Aufderheide was perhaps the most famous woman to pen rags. She learned to play the classics on the piano from her aunt May Kolmer, a noted musician, and was treated to the best music Europe had to offer when her parents took her on the traditional “grand tour.” She received training in art music and visited Europe a grand tour, yet decided to compose in ragtime. May Aufderheide was a member of the Indianapolis ragtime community that included Paul Pratt, Cecil Duane Crabb, J. Russel Robinson, Will B. Morrison, Julia Lee Niebergall, and Gladys Yelvington. Despite a serious grounding in art music, Aufderheide turned her attentions to ragtime. Her first rag, “Dusty,” was published in 1908, the same year that she wed Thomas Kaufman. The early years of her marriage inspired a series of other compositions, among them “The Richmond Rag,” “The Thriller Rag,” and the “Novelty Rag.” By the 1920s, however, Aufderheide had stopped composing. Problems with an alcoholic husband and a deeply troubled adopted child allowed her no time or peace for artistic activities. After their deaths in the late 1950s, crippling arthritis and a series of strokes made it impossible for her to return to the piano. Aufderheide died in California in September 1972.
