At Lane, music not only artists including Cannonball marks the passage of time, but also provides a means for Adderly and most famously student musicians to make their mark.

From orchestra to choir, and from band to jazz, Lane has been known as “the School of Champions” for all things related to the arts. This was true long before my days as a Lane Tech student and continues through the present day in my capacity as Lane Tech’s principal. Today, Lane still affords students a rich musical history and future through our traditional music department offerings, as well and through many new course offerings. Lane not only offers the greatest choir, band, orchestra and jazz programs in any high school, we also offer the largest guitar program in the city and state as well as the only “Sound Engineering” program in the district and in Illinois. Lane Tech opened its first-ever sound engineering program in August, 2013 that combines the physics of sound recording with the business of music and commercial sound production. Lane’s recording studio, “Studio 2501,” boasts a full live room and mix room with state of the art Pro Tools and Apple sound capturing and editing software. Now, not only do our students continue developing 21st century technical skills, they also put those skills to use in recording the works of our choir, band, orchestra, jazz, and guitar programs. Our students continue our tradition of excellence and memorialize it through their very own recordings of “Go Lane Go!” It is with this rich musical tapestry that we celebrate Lane’s musical history and look to our future.

  • Outlawing Governmental Underreach in Health Law
    EXCEPTIONS MEET ABSOLUTISM: OUTLAWING GOVERNMENTAL UNDERREACH IN HEALTH LAW † CHRISTINA S. HO ABSTRACT Health measures are sometimes struck, not for “overbreadth,” but for “underbreadth.” Short of an equal protection problem, a guaranteed right, an unconstitutional condition, or other constitutional problem, how does the effort to moderate a law by carving out exceptions to accommo- date important concerns necessarily doom the underlying legal provision itself? Is there any pattern to the courts’ use of relatively malleable ad- ministrative law review doctrines to strike down health rules, not just because of what they do, but ostensibly because of what they leave un- done? This Article tackles the underappreciated vulnerability of excep- tions-based rules in health law. I look at three examples: New York City’s notorious Soda Portion Cap Rule that exempted refills; the FDA’s decision to allow age-restricted, over-the-counter (OTC) emergency con- traception; and Pennsylvania’s Medicaid rules providing eyeglasses, an optional benefit, to beneficiaries with eye disease but not to those with refraction error. Each case exhibits three common elements that charac- terize how a rule’s exceptions, deliberately tailored to prevent overreach, can turn out to be the rule’s Achilles’ heel. The courts in each of these cases insist upon an extra-legal policy absolutism that challenges not only our assumptions of a default judicial posture favoring cost-benefit analysis but also deeper assumptions about the rule-based nature of law.

One critic wrote that «you may not know Ken Nordine by name or face, but you’ll almost certainly recognize his voice.» Ken Nordine is an American voiceover and recording artist, born in Chicago, Illinois on January 19, 1920. He initially attracted attention when he recorded the aural vignet- tes on Word Jazz (1957). Among his more than 20 solo albums, the most famous ones are Word Jazz (1966) and Colors (1995) which have an almost legendary cult status.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

  • Affordant Chord Transitions in Selected Guitar-Driven Popular Music
    Affordant Chord Transitions in Selected Guitar-Driven Popular Music Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gary Yim, B.Mus. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: David Huron, Advisor Marc Ainger Graeme Boone Copyright by Gary Yim 2011 Abstract It is proposed that two different harmonic systems govern the sequences of chords in popular music: affordant harmony and functional harmony. Affordant chord transitions favor chords and chord transitions that minimize technical difficulty when performed on the guitar, while functional chord transitions favor chords and chord transitions based on a chord's harmonic function within a key. A corpus analysis is used to compare the two harmonic systems in influencing chord transitions, by encoding each song in two different ways. Songs in the corpus are encoded with their absolute chord names (such as “Cm”) to best represent affordant factors in the chord transitions. These same songs are also encoded with their Roman numerals to represent functional factors in the chord transitions. The total entropy within the corpus for both encodings are calculated, and it is argued that the encoding with the lower entropy value corresponds with a harmonic system that more greatly influences the chord transitions. It is predicted that affordant chord transitions play a greater role than functional harmony, and therefore a lower entropy value for the letter-name encoding is expected. But, contrary to expectations, a lower entropy value for the Roman numeral encoding was found. Thus, the results are not consistent with the hypothesis that affordant chord transitions play a greater role than functional chord transitions.

Those ranch outfits Bing and his son are wearing aren’t props either, since Bing and the family have been spending a great deal of time out on their ranch. Bing’s etching of “Mule Train” has caught on throughout the nation to the tune of more than 200,000 sales in less than two weeks. Other current hot items for the Crosby crooner are “Weddin’ Day”, “The Meadow Of Heaven” and “Top O’ The Morning”, the latter from the Paramount picture of the same name.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
