The sprawling, traditional 16th-century limestone château has charming courtyards with an orangery, and beautiful, manicured gardens. Slightly less classical is the quirky modern decor, with the odd splash of orange or geometric rugs. Last year the château opened a luxury spa, and you can practically reach out and touch the vines from the infinity pool . before getting stuck into a post-spa wine- tasting at the on-site winery. For the complete vineyard experience, you can have a full-body exfoliation in the spa which uses the pulp and pips leftover from the wine-making (known as vinotherapy).

Led by pacesetters such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Bobby Bare, artists in Nashville and Austin demanded the creative freedom to make their own country music, different from the pop-oriented sound that prevailed at the time. This exhibition also examines the cultures of Nashville and fiercely independent Austin, and the complicated, surprising relationships between the two. Artwork by Sam Yeates, Rising from the Ashes, Willie Takes Flight for Austin (2017) 3-6 Introduction 3 This interdisciplinary lesson guide allows classrooms to explore the exhibition Outlaws and Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ‘70s on view at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum® from May 25, 2018 – February 14, 2021.

  • Acrylic Pool Design Private Residence • Italy Our Mission
    Acrylic Pool Design Pool Acrylic Private Residence • Italy Our Mission Innovative Acrylics designs, fabricates and installs a variety of acrylic swimming pool windows and walls that offer spectacular views. While many pool window fabricators are limited to single-sided-rectangular viewing panels, we employ advanced manufacturing techniques to chemically bond and thermoform acrylic, allowing us to create multi-sided viewing panels of nearly any conceivable dimension. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to create a statement piece for your indoor or outdoor pool or a professional Acrylic panel swimming pool wall in search of a training aid, our acrylic transparencies offer unparalleled performance and versatility. Panel types Acrylic panels for swimming pools can be divided most simply into two unique categories, three-side and four-side support. 1 Three-Side Support Acrylic Panels for Swimming Pools Three-side support panels are secured at the sill and the jambs, leaving the top edge unconstrained and visibly exposed. Offering amazing versatility in the design of your pool, they can be placed in an array of configurations, from conventional rectangular swimming pool windows to complex L- and U-shaped acrylic pool walls. They are often at their most breathtaking when used in an infinity pool design. “Three-side support” refers to pool windows that are constrained along three sides. In this configuration, a cantilever-style rebate prevents translational rotation. Three-side Support Acrylic Panel The exposed top edge of three-side support panels allows for virtually unlimited possibilities in the appearance of your pool, but they all come down to freeboard and infinity pool edge styles.

  • Dave Cobb Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL DAVE COBB EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest, producer extraordinaire Dave Cobb. DAVE COBB When we approach these records we approach it much the way a record would’ve been done in 1965, 1970. And it’s humans playing together. There are mistakes all over the record. There’s timing issues, there’s tuning issues, there’s pitch issues, there’s flubs of words. The same way people are seeking out organically grown food, I think people are seeking out organically grown music at the same time. The moment I heard Chris Stapleton I was like, “Man I’ve got to track him down.” If I can just get to Nashville I’d run into him and I’d run into Jason Isbell and try to sucker them in to make records. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Walk in and see what’s going to grab you that day. To me it was a really cool thing about linking really great artists that I like now, and linking Nashville, what Nashville is today. Taking kind of a snapshot of it. And I love it when I get to introduce somebody to somebody else I think is talented. And you see there eyes both sparkle. And I love the unity in the scene. That’s why I moved here. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Dave Cobb. “4th of July” - Shooter Jennings (Black Magick / Universal South) PETER COOPER “Fourth of July,” from Shooter Jennings.

  • Using Green Infrastructure to Support Water-Based
    USING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT WATER-BASED RECREATION IN LAKE HERRICK by CHRISTOPHER LANE MORPHIS (Under the Direction of Jon Calabria) ABSTRACT Lake Herrick was constructed on the University of Georgia’s south campus in 1982 with facilities for swimming and boating. Following a period of declining water quality, the lake was closed and is now under-utilized. This research provides an understanding of the water quality problems and details how green infrastructure landscape design interventions can improve water quality. The ultimate goal is to enhance the lake’s water quality and ecological health to reverse impairments and reinstate water-based recreation. An inventory and analysis of current and historical watershed conditions was conducted. Projective design was used to explore the feasibility of implementing a series of stormwater control measures (SCMs) throughout Lake Herrick’s watershed. A total of 29 individual SCMs were proposed and illustrated with details including placement location, footprint, and total projected cost. The recommendations for lake management treatments provide insight and guidance for management and restoration planning at Lake Herrick.

  • Remembering Waylon
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jaclyn Todisco 646-695-7053 [email protected] REMEMBERING WAYLON AN UNPRECEDENTED AUCTION FOCUSING ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WAYLON JENNINGS, THE LEGENDARY OUTLAW COUNTRY MUSICIAN WHO CARVED HIS WAY TO SUPER-STARDOM Memorable objects from Jennings’ career, plus remarkable items from many of his fellow musicians and friends including Hank Williams, John Lennon, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Muhammad Ali New York, NY (August 5, 2014) – On October 5 at Phoenix's stunning Musical Instrument Museum, New York City-based auction house Guernsey’s will resurrect the aura of outlaw country megastar Waylon Jennings with the sale of many of his personal belongings. For the first time, Jennings’ legions of fans will have a chance to own a piece of musical history. The featured collection is being offered by country music legend Jessi Colter, Jennings’ wife of more than thirty years with whom he often shared the stage. The event will help bring attention to the important care provided at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. A driving force of the Outlaw Country movement that erupted in the ‘70s, Jennings rejected the conventions of country’s manufactured “Nashville Sound” and reached superstardom with his commanding baritone and stripped-down, updated honky tonk, which gave his music a gritty edge all its own. His style changed the face of country music and influenced countless musicians, as his songs consistently appeared on both Billboard’s country and pop charts throughout a career that spanned more than five decades. Jennings’ album Wanted! The Outlaws – featuring collaborations with his wife, Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson, and Tompall Glaser – peaked at No.1 on the charts and was the first country album to be certified platinum.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.
