Let the Games Begin! FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2018 THE UNIQUENESS OF FIPKE LET THE GAMES BEGIN! By Sid Fernando Niki McCardell was tense as Justify (Scat Daddy) rolled into the Belmont stretch, and with each stride the big chestnut took to secure his place in history, McCardell's pent-up excitement became noticeably palpable. She started clenching her fists and raising her arms at the sixteenth pole and finally emptied her emotional tank when the colt hit the wire. Shortly afterward, I heard McCardell almost sheepishly tell her companion Chuck Fipke that witnessing Justify's GI Belmont S. was as exciting--if not more--as seeing Fipke's homebred Bee Jersey (Jersey Town)=s win the GI Metropolitan H. two races earlier on the card. "No, I agree with you," Fipke replied. "It was more exciting to see this. He just won the Triple Crown, eh."

The Oceanport racetrack, which was at the forefront of a push to legalize sports betting outside of Nevada, became the first location in New Jersey to accept sports wagers after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law barring wagering on team sports May 14. The stage was finally set Monday when Governor Murphy ended a prolonged delay and signed a bill authorizing licensed racetracks and casinos to begin conducting sports betting.

Advisor _____________________________ Examining Committee: Jeanne Simonelli, Ph.D. Chair _____________________________ LeRhonda S. Manigault, Ph.D _____________________________ ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, my thanks go out to Drs. Neal and Simonelli for encouraging me to follow my passion and my heart. Dr. Neal helped me realize a framework within which I could explore my interests, and Dr. Simonelli kept my spirits alive so I could nurse the project along. My concert-going partner in crime, cruisin’tobruce, also deserves my gratitude, sharing expenses and experiences with me all over the eastern seaboard as well as some mid-America excursions. She tolerated me well, right up until the last time I forgot the tickets. I also must recognize the persistent assistance I received from my pal and companion Zero, my Maine Coon cat, who spent hours hanging over my keyboard as I typed. I attribute all typos and errors to his help, and thank him for the opportunity to lay the blame at his paws. And lastly, my thanks and gratitude goes out to Mr. Bruce Frederick Springsteen, a man of heart and of conscience who constantly keeps me honest and aware that “it ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive (Badlands).”

  • NEWSLETTER AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2017 Hankering at the Muster Three of Hank's Biggest Fans Notch up Anniversary Year
    NEWSLETTER AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2017 Hankering at the Muster The 2017 Clarence Valley Country Muster is the ONLY festival appearance in Australia by Jett Williams, daughter of the late, great Hank Williams. On her first Down Under tour, Jett will perform 12 select dates in October-November. On Sunday, October 29, Jett will perform exclusively at the Muster, singing some of her daddy’s songs with Australia’s own version of the Drifting Cowboys. This is one seriously great band and features Rod Coe on bass; Kelvin Nolan on guitar; Dallas Southern on pedal steel and Brendan Crickmore on fiddle. (Hank didn’t have drummers in his band, so neither does his daughter). Get a Hankering for what’s ahead on Thursday night, October 26, by trying out your own version of your favourite Hank Williams song. Hank fan Ray Essery will donate a trophy to the winner. Then, after the songs have been sung, settle back with some popcorn for the Hank Williams movie, I Saw The Light on the big screen. While you’re watching, think up a Hank memory to share with Jett when you meet her on Sunday. Three of Hank’s biggest fans notch up anniversary year The Gunbarrell Highwaymen – Terry Gordon, Reg Poole and Owen Blundell – who are all major Hank Williams fans, mark a significant milestone on their musical journey this Muster. It’s now 28 years since the three amigos decided to join forces and head on down the Lost Highway as a country supergroup … and they’re still going strong. Having toured Australia and New Zealand, and performed at most major festivals along the way, The Gunbarrell Highwaymen still don’t tire of each other’s company.

  • 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.
