  • Covering Joel with Perfect Pitch
    Covering Joel with perfect pitch SUSAN DEEFHOLTS (Mar 23, 2007) One of the remarkable things about Billy Joel's music is that his writing has evolved with the times, while still retaining a sound that makes it distinctly his own. His work is uniquely contemporary, capturing a wide diversity of moods, from wry humour and sophisticated contemplation, through psychological angst and frenetic stress. An Innocent Man: The Music of Billy Joel marks the most recent in the Electric Thursdays series of concerts, a collaboration between the KWS and the Jeans 'n Classics band. Who better to lead us on this tribute to Joel's musical career than Jim Witter, himself an accomplished singer, pianist and songwriter? Witter is the creator of the hit show The Piano Men, a tribute to the 1970's hits of both Billy Joel and Elton John. His vibrant performance on Wednesday night potently demonstrated his strong affinity for Joel's work. At times, he sounded uncannily like the Piano Man himself, evoking both his timbre and enunciation. And yet, Witter also brought a presence that was uniquely his own to the performance. The evening began with such favourites as Only the Good Die Young and Uptown Girl --both songs about love between the kind of boy your mother warned you about and the girl who's got it all. The upbeat opening set the mood for a stellar performance of Joel classics. From the very first notes played, the audience sat up and took notice. Peter Brennan's orchestral arrangements, with Daniel Warren conducting, complemented the original songs, adding depth and resonance to the diverse range of songs covered throughout the evening.

There were great ponds on acres and acres of land in the coastal village in this Eastern part of the island. On these lonely roads in their deep silence my awareness grew of the life that was evolving in these ponds as the crustacea emerged from the spawn, creating concentric ripples as they swam beneath the water's surface. A subtle movement seemed to stir the expanse of water, breaking fragmented slivers of light, scattering them on the ponds. I was not able to observe these forms of life minutely but there was this feeling that the ponds were seething, alive, and that the prawns were trapped in their aquatic prisons from which they could not escape until they grew large enough to be caught, netted, packed and sent away to titillate the appetites of the wealthy gourmets who could afford them.

  • The Ben Gray Lumpkin Collection of Colorado Folklore
    Gene A. Culwell The Ben Gray Lumpkin Collection of Colorado Folklore Professor Ben Gray Lumpkin, who retired from the University of Colorado in June of 1969, spent more than twenty years of his academic career amassing a large collection of folksongs in the state of Colorado. At my request, Profes- sor Lumpkin provided the following information concerning his life and career: Son of John Moorman and Harriet Gray Lumpkin, I was born De- cember 25, 1901, in Marshall County, Mississippi, on a farm about seven miles north of Holly Springs. Grandpa was a Methodist cir- cuit rider, but had to farm to eke out a living because his hill-coun- try churches were too poor to support his family. Because we lived too far from the Hudsonville school for me to walk, I began schooling under my mother until I was old enough to ride a gentle mare and take care of her at school—at the age of 8. When my father bought a farm in Lowndes County, Mississippi, my brother Joe and sister Martha and I went to Penn Station and Crawford elementary schools. Having finished what was called the ninth grade, I went to live with my Aunt Olena Ford, and fin- ished Tupelo High School in 1921, then BA, University of Missis- sippi, 1925. I worked as the secretary and clerk in the Mississippi State Department of Archives and History (September 1925 to March 1929) and in the Mississippi Division office of Southern Bell Telephone Company (March 1929 to August 1930). I taught English and other subjects in Vina, Alabama, High School (August 1930 through January 1932).

  • Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, MM
    ABSTRACT Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel’s Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, M.M. Mentor: Jean A. Boyd, Ph.D. In 2001, the release of Fantasies and Delusions officially announced Billy Joel’s remarkable career transition from popular songwriting to classical instrumental music composition. Representing Joel’s eclectic aesthetic that transcends genre, this album features a series of ten solo piano pieces that evoke a variety of musical styles, especially those coming from the Romantic tradition. A collaborative effort with classical pianist Hyung-ki Joo, Joel has mentioned that Fantasies and Delusions is the album closest to his heart and spirit. However, compared to Joel’s popular works, it has barely received any scholarly attention. Given this gap in musicological work on the album, this thesis focuses on the album’s content, creative process, and connection with Billy Joel’s life, career, and artistic identity. Through this thesis, I argue that Fantasies and Delusions is reflective of Joel’s artistic identity as an eclectic composer, a melodist, a Romantic, and a Piano Man.

The primary texts studied are Dostoevsky’s writings of 1864-1880, Leonid Andreyev’s short stories, the poetry and essays of Viktor Krivulin, Vladimir Makanin’s novel Underground, or A Hero of Our Time (1994), and the texts of Siberian punk rock (Egor Letov, Konstantin Riabinov).

BEHIND THE NYLON CURTAIN: SOCIAL COHESION, LAW, AND THE DISAGGREGATION OF AMERICAN CULTURE Rebecca Roiphe" and Dani Gewirtzman •• I. INTRODUCTION In September 1982, Billy Joel released what he has since called his favorite album: The Nylon Curtain. 1 The album marked a major departure from Joel's prior work; it is his most politically con­ scious and ambitious record, "a concept album"2 that used external elements - sounds of factory whistles, jet engines, and helicopter ro­ tors - to "bring out the painterly side of [Joel] that has always iden­ tified with that master of American light, Edward Hopper."3 As Roll­ ing Stone's review put it, the album found Joel for the first time "tackling subjects farther from home and larger than his own neigh­ borhood.''4 Instead of piano bars,5 suburban restaurants,6 and Mr. Cacciatore's on Sullivan Street,7 songs like "Allentown" and "Good­ night Saigon" focused on seemingly forgotten communities of men in the Rust Belt and Vietnam confronting social dislocation, the lasting effects of epic political and economic change, and widespread disillu­ sionment.

  • Lady Detectives and Marriage: Grant Allen's
    LADY DETECTIVES AND MARRIAGE: GRANT ALLEN’S MODEL FOR LIBERATION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Luisa T. Cole, B.A. Washington, DC April 20, 2010 Copyright 2009 by Luisa T. Cole All Rights Reserved ii LADY DETECTIVES AND MARRIAGE: GRANT ALLEN’S MODEL FOR LIBERATION Luisa T. Cole, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Leona Fisher, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the issue of whether late nineteenth-century female detectives are subversive figures, or if they are—as many critics claim—examples of potentially transgressive women who conform to gender norms. While reading female detectives as a maligned is a relatively popular critical undertaking, taken on in Michele Slung’s Crime on Her Mind and Kathleen Gregory Klein’s The Woman Detective , the ways in which these novels did contribute to a feminist activity is often ignored. By looking at the Victorian lady detective novel through a historical lens, rather than a more modern feminist perspective, it is possible to understand the ways in which the genre’s writers did revolutionary work in their creation of empowered, professional women. In texts like Grant Allen’s Miss Cayley’s Adventures (1899) and Hilda Wade: A Woman with Tenacity of Purpose (1900), the lady detective becomes integral to the feminist movement because she, alone, finds a way to use her observation and intelligence—both abilities associated with female detection—in a manner that helps her navigate the complicated waters of nineteenth-century marriage.
