  • Konzert Mit Amber Rubarth
    PRESSEINFORMATION Natureum Niederelbe • 21730 Balje 24.01.2019 Ein musikalischer „Bernstein“ im Natureum Amerikanerin Amber Rubarth gibt Konzert im Naturkundemuseum Balje. Es gibt sie regelmäßig, die Bernsteintage im Natureum. Bernstein heißt ins Englische übersetzt „Amber“. Nun präsentiert sich am Sonnabend, 2. Februar, ein ganz besonderer Bernstein im Naturkundemuseum in Balje, denn die amerikanische Songwriterin und Folk- Sängerin Amber Rubarth gibt ein besonderes Konzert inmitten der Ausstellung „Lebensader Elbstrom“. Beginn des Konzertes ist um 19 Uhr, Einlass ab 18.30 Uhr. Der Eintritt ist frei. Es wird um Spenden für die Musikerin gebeten. Amber Rubarth ist das, was man eine „Globetrotterin“ nennt. Im vergangenen Jahr bereiste sie die halbe Welt und war nicht nur in Nordamerika und Europa auf den Musikbühnen zu finden, sondern auch ausgiebig in Asien auf Tour. Nun reist sie direkt vom „Americana Fest“ aus London an und begibt sich Ende Februar zu Konzerten auf einen Trip nach Südafrika. In Kalifornien geboren, zog es Amber Rubarth (Jahrgang 1982) als 17-Jährige nach Carson City in Nevada. Sie erlernte als Autodidaktin das Spiel auf der Gitarre. Im Jahr 2005 erblickte ihr erstes Album „Something New“ das Licht der Musikwelt. Aktuell lebt die Songwriterin und Schauspielerin in Nashville. Ende 2017 veröffentlichte die 36-Jährige schon ihr achtes Album, das den Titel „Wildflowers in the Graveyard“ trägt. Die Songs sind pure Entschleunigung, minimalistisch, aber gewaltig in ihrer Wirkung. Das Magazin „Westzeit“ des WDR urteilte dazu: „Das schönste und poetischste Folk-Album des Jahres“. Amber Rubarth ist bereits mit Emmylou Harris, Kenny Loggins, Richie Havens, Marc Cohn und Loudon Wainwright III getourt und wurde mit verschiedenen Preisen ausgezeichnet.

  • Reviews & Short Features: Vol. 26/ 1 (1945)
    Reviews of Books The Letters of John McLoughlin from Fort Vancouver to the Governor and Committee, second series, 1839-44 (Hudson's Bay Record So­ ciety, Publications, vol. 6). Edited by E. E. RICH, M.A. With an introduction by W. KAYE LAMB, Ph.D. (Published by the Cham­ plain Society for the Hudson's Bay Record Society, 1943. xlix, 427 p. Illustrations.) It is seldom that a book of many documents reduces itself so simply as this one to the discussion of a few topics. As the introduction reveals in clear-cut fashion, these letters show that two decisions of Sir George Simp­ son in 1841 and 1842 brought about a rupture in the friendship so long sustained between him and Dr. John McLoughlin. The first decision was the result of Simpson's visit to the Northwest coast on his famous earth- girdling trip, and consisted of two parts: to reduce the number of trading posts, for the establishment and prestige of which McLoughlin had been pridefuUy responsible; and, in consequence of this decrease in land estab­ lishments, to make the company's steamer of paramount importance on that coast, despite McLoughlin's known opposition to that course. Mc Loughlin felt that he had been humiliated by this decision of his superior officer, which reversed his own conclusions and seemed to indicate poor judgment on his part. The second decision was Simpson's hasty, opportunistic, and cold-blooded verdict as to the cause of the murder of McLoughlin's mixed-blood son, John McLoughlin, who was in charge of the Stikine post in his father's jurisdiction at the time of the tragedy.

Avec plus de cinquante ans de carrière, Johnny Hallyday est l'un des plus célèbres chanteurs francophones et l'une des personnalités les plus présentes dans le paysage médiatique français, où plus de 2100 couvertures de magazines lui ont été consacrées[2]. Si Johnny Hallyday n'est pas le premier à chanter du rock 'n' roll en France[3], il est le premier à populariser cette musique dans l'Hexagone[4],[5]. Après le rock, il lance le twist en 1961 et l'année suivante le mashed potato (en)[6] et s'il lui fut parfois reproché de céder aux modes musicales[7], il les a toutefois précédées plus souvent que suivies. Les différents courants musicaux auxquels il s'est adonné, rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, soul, rock psychédélique, pop puisent tous leurs origines dans le blues. Johnny est également l'interprète de nombreuses chansons de variété, de ballades, de country, mais le rock reste sa principale référence[6].

  • Eugene Field's Years As. a Chicago Journalist (1883-1895)
    EUGENE FIELD'S YEARS AS. A CHICAGO JOURNALIST (1883-1895) Thesis for the Degree of M. A. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY PATRICIA LILLIAN WALKER 1969 ABSTRACT EUGENE FIELD'S YEARS AS A CHICAGO JOURNALIST (1883-1895) by Patricia Lillian Walker This is a study of the historical importance and contributions of Eugene Field to the era of Chicago jour- nalism that produced such journalists and literary figures as George Ade,rFinley Peter Dunne, Theodore Dreiser, and later Carl Sandburg and Edgar Lee Masters, and such edi- tors as Melville Stone, Slason Thompson, and Wilbur Storey. Field's quick fame and definition as a children's poet has obscured his contributions as a humorist and journalist, his life-time occupation. This study re-examines Eugene Field in light of his career in journalism which reached its greatest height and importance as editorial columnist for the Chicago Daily News. It is based on the newspaper files of the Chicago Daily News, biographies, literary criticisms, and other sources of the period, and on pri- vate papers and special collections relating to Field's acquaintances. Accepted by the faculty of the School of Journalism, College of Communications Arts, Michigan State University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree.
