  • Star Shines at Shell
    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

  • Smoke Detectors
    Smoke Detectors Smoke detectors are devices that are mounted on the wall or ceiling and automatically sound a warning when they sense smoke or other products of combustion. When people are warned early enough about a fire, they can escape before it spreads. Facts Every year thousands of people die from fires in the home. Fire kills an estimated 4,000 American every year. Another 30,000 people are seriously injured by fire each year. Property damage from fire costs us at least $11.2 billion yearly. Most fire victims feel that fire would "never happen to them." Although we like to feel safe at home, about two-thirds of our nation's fire deaths happen in the victim's own home. The home is where we are at the greatest risk and where we must take the most precautions. Most deaths occur from inhaling smoke or poisonous gases, not from the flames. Most fatal fires occur in residential buildings between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. when occupants are more likely to be asleep. More than 90 percent of fire deaths in buildings occur in residential dwellings. Types of Smoke Detectors There are two basic types of smoke detectors: 1. Ionization Detectors The ionization detector is the most common type in use and generally less expensive to purchase at $5 to $20. They contain radioactive material that ionizes the air, making an electrical path. When smoke enters, the smoke molecules attach themselves to the ions. The change in electric current flow triggers the alarm. The radioactive material is called americium.

  • GENE HELPS CELEBRATE RANDY TRAVIS' 25Th ANNIVERSARY AT
    NOV/DEC. 2011 Volume 20 GENE HELPS CELEBRATE RANDY TRAVIS’ 25th ANNIVERSARY AT THE OPRY October 4th, 2011 - Gene had the pleasure to perform on the Grand Ole Opry with Randy Travis, Connie Smith and Joe Stampley as part of Randy’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. The group performed a song recorded for Randy’s 25th Anniversary album title “Didn’t We Shine.” The performance was later shown as part of an Opry TV show on GAC, Opry Live! LEFT: Standing off stage just after their performance are Gene, Randy Travis and Connie Smith. AN AMERICAN IDOL Left: (Oct. 4, 2011) Carrie Underwood stopped backstage at the Grand Ole Opry to say hello to Gene. Before winning the vastly popular American Idol show, Carrie opened a show for Gene and remembers him fondly from that. Of course Carrie has gone on to super stardom in the country music world with multi-platinum albums. Carrie recorded a # 1 with Randy Travis that they sang on the Opry that night, “I Told You So.” HANGING OUT BACKSTAGE Photo right: Gene’s dressing room at the Opry turned out to be right next door to another young star, Josh Turner. Josh was delighted to see Gene and they shared a few road stories before both were called to go onstage.
