  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • “Fascinating Facts” December 2017
    Daily Sparkle CD - A Review of Famous Songs of the Past “Fascinating Facts” December 2017 Track 1 Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire The Christmas Song (commonly subtitled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire") is a classic Christmas song written in 1944 by musician, composer, and vocalist Mel Tormé and Bob Wells. According to Tormé, the song was written during a blistering hot summer. In an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool", the most-performed Christmas song was born. "I saw four lines written on a notepad", Tormé recalled. "They started, "Chestnuts roasting..., Jack Frost nipping..., Yuletide carols..., Folks dressed up like Eskimos.' Bob (Wells, co-writer) hadn’t thought he was writing a song lyric! He said he thought if he could immerse himself in winter he could cool off! Forty minutes later that song was written. Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. He was one of the first black Americans to host a television variety show. Cole fought racism all his life and rarely performed in segregated venues. In 1948, Cole purchased a house in an all-white neighbourhood of Los Angeles. The Ku Klux Klan, still active in Los Angeles well into the 1950s, responded by placing a burning cross on his front lawn. Members of the property-owners association told Cole they did not want any undesirables moving in.

    July 2016 Remembering the Wild, Wild West William Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy – Grand Marshal – Photo courtesy of Stephen Kenney – Restoration by Tracy Brown. Remembering the Wild, Wild West – see page 2. Webfooters Post Card Club PO Box 17240 Portland OR 97217-0240 www.thewebfooters.com Remembering the Wild, Wild West Western culture is unique to America. Stories of cowboys or gunfighters in the American Old West from the latter half of the 19th Century became the foundation for many western movies, radio programs, television shows, songs, books and yes, postcards that have been a part of American life for many years. With it came cowboys, cowgirls, movie stars, radio stars, TV stars and musicians. There may be varying claims to the first movie, but one of the very first movies ever produced was “The Horse in Motion” which was produced in 1878. The movie was made to answer the question “Are all four of a horse’s hooves ever off the ground at the same time while the horse is galloping.” The movie proved that the hooves were indeed off the ground and motion photography was born. The world’s earliest surviving motion-picture film showing actual consecutive action is entitled Roundhay Garden Scene from 1888. Even though it is 2.11 seconds long, the Guinness Book of Records has declared that it is the oldest film in existence. The first film cowboy star, “Broncho Billy” Anderson, whose first film was The Great Train Robbery released in 1903, played three roles in the silent western, which audiences loved and led to a successful filmmaking career.

  • Tidbits NDSD Resource Center November 15, 2020 Volume 3-Issue 4
    Tidbits NDSD Resource Center November 15, 2020 Volume 3-Issue 4 N o v e m b e r Connie’s Celebrations November is Native American Month and we celebrated with a special meal of Indian Tacos and a presentation by Lilia (our resident historian) about the life paths of three Native Americans who attended NDSD many years ago. These three young men are role models that our students can relate to. Our students learned new vocabulary words such as sculpture, mallet and chisel, carve, and swift. NDSD provides services to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing from all four North Dakota Indian reservations (Four Berthold, Spirit Lake Nation, Standing Rock Sioux, and Turtle Mountain). The North Dakota School for the Deaf continues to adjust to ongoing COVID-19 health concerns while providing services to North Dakota citizens who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Parent Infant, School Age and Adult Outreach programs continue to receive new referrals for services for individuals across North Dakota. This is a reflection of the dedication, passion, and service-oriented staff that we have at NDSD. The model school has completed the first quarter with students on campus. This was only possible as a result of students, families, and staff diligently following the NDSD Health and Safety Plan. The staff at NDSD are participating in a food drive for the local food pantry. This is the time of year for family celebrations and we will do our small part to make sure families have adequate food. Celebrations may look different this year with smaller in person gatherings and more virtual connections but it is still a time to reflect and be thankful for our many blessings.

Hazardous objects may not only require specialized levels of care, but they can pose risks to people and other collection objects if managed improperly. Although previous research has been conducted on the proper management hazardous objects, little research is available that examines how museums are implementing these practices in the field. A deeper understanding of the day-to-day techniques used by museums in managing these objects can contribute to the development of improved management practices.
