Some people go white-water rafting, golfers try out different courses all across the country, songwriters come to Nashville. There’s no better time to plan YOUR trek into the wilds of the music business than Mar. 30-31 when you can attend NSAI Spring Training, held at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel. It’s a two-day intensive seminar featuring powerhouse panels, educational seminars, and a chance to sit and chat with industry pros. You can pitch YOUR song to the music pub- lisher of YOUR choice! Here are some highlights: Superstar John Oates will be our opening interview and performer at Spring Training 2012. His writing credits include “Maneater,” “She’s Gone,” “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do),” “Sara Smile” and “You Make My Dreams,” all hits recorded by Hall & Oates. Regie Hamm will be a part of the “Reality Behind Reality Shows” panel, featuring artists and writers who have had experience in music-based reality shows like American Idol, The Voice and Can U Duet. Hamm has been SESAC Writer of the Year four times, penned a platinum-selling single and won the American Idol songwriting contest. These panelists will give you the inside scoop on everything from the auditioning process to the pros and cons of TV exposure. During our Publisher Break-Out Sessions, every Spring Training attendee will have the opportunity to choose a publisher, who will listen and give feed- back on their songs. These small group settings of 10-15 songwriters provide an inside glimpse into what publishers look for in songs, and perhaps more importantly, how they listen. So much of what NSAI provides for our members involves establishing relationships, and these Publisher Break-Out Sessions are one example. Doors to future meetings and opportunities are opened every year at these sessions. hitsville presented by ole gives attendees of Spring Training a chance to go head-to-head with other songwriters for a single-song publishing deal on the spot! There are rules to follow, but if you have a hit, you could round the bases as you play your song for ole publishing company staffers. Make it to home and you’ve got your first contract! Sign up today THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT! www.nashvillesongwriters.com If you weren’t at Spring Training 2011, you missed an incredible experience.

  • Eastwood, Dicaprio Try to Capture First FBI Director's Life in 'J. Edgar'
    09 November 2011 | voaspecialenglish.com Eastwood, DiCaprio Try to Capture First FBI Director's Life in 'J. Edgar' AP From left, Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer and director Clint Eastwood at the premiere of "J. Edgar" last week in Los Angeles (You can download an MP3 of this story at voaspecialenglish.com) DOUG JOHNSON: Welcome to AMERICAN MOSAIC in VOA Special English. (MUSIC) I’m Doug Johnson. Today we play music from American Idol winner Scotty McCreery ... And we answer a question about American whiskey ... But first, it is history at the movie theater where a new film opens about former law enforcement chief J. Edgar Hoover. "J. Edgar" DOUG JOHNSON: The movie "J. Edgar" opens across America today. The film is about J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoover was a complex and powerful man. He helped develop the FBI into an efficient and effective crime solving agency. However, in later years, many people 2 questioned the methods used by Hoover and his investigators. Bob Doughty tells more about the man and the movie. BOB DOUGHTY: Clint Eastwood directed the movie "J. Edgar." He grew up in the time when, in his words, "Hoover was always top cop." Eastwood said he had heard different stories about the former FBI director. Some of them were very critical. But Eastwood said anybody who stays in a job as long as Hoover did is going to create some enemies. J. Edgar Hoover was the leader of the FBI and the agency it developed from for almost fifty years.

  • A Shaman, a Sherpa, and a Healer: a Post-Intentional
    A SHAMAN, A SHERPA, AND A HEALER: A POST-INTENTIONAL PHENOMENOLOGY OF SONGWRITING by BRIAN E. KUMM (Under the Direction of Corey W. Johnson) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of songwriting. Through a series of in depth interviews, three songwriters provided rich descriptions of their lived experiences with the phenomenon. Post-intentional phenomenology was used as the primary guiding theoretical framework for this study, which negotiated the tenets of both phenomenology and poststructuralism. Songwriting was described in terms of portaling, everesting, and gravitating-levitating and was revealed as a complex phenomenon of cathartic and transcendent experiences. The findings highlight the need for unstructured, expressive, and artistic leisure, which can be transformative in times of personal or social unrest.

  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

  • Refocusing the Digital Lens of Idiomaticity: a Second Look at Understanding Idiomaticity in CALL1 John I
    Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research 6(2), (July, 2018) 1-21 1 Content list available at http://ijltr.urmia.ac.ir Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research Urmia University Refocusing the Digital Lens of Idiomaticity: A Second Look at Understanding Idiomaticity in CALL1 John I. Liontas a, * a University of South Florida, US A B S T R A C T This article takes a critical second look at understanding idiomaticity in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). The conditions markedly affecting second language teaching and learning are highlighted amidst pedagogical constructs supporting the reconstructive nature of idiomatic understanding and production in English. The ensuing discussion underscores the promise digital technologies hold for further research work on idiomaticity including, but not limited to, idiom, metaphor, simile, metonymy, hyperbole, proverb, slang, cliché, lexical bundle, phrasal expression, multiword construction, collocation, colloquialism, and tropes of figurative language. It is argued that for the purposes of diagnosis and achievement idiomaticity must be thoughtfully anchored in pedagogical paradigms requiring further examination and care. These exemplars, as the need arises across contexts and audiences, are seen as particularly useful to the development and refinement of idiomatic knowledge, especially when such knowledge reflects the judicious and purposeful use of CALL technologies, electronic tools, and digital resources. Pedagogical implications addressing idiom- learning activities and task-based digital projects are also discussed. Keywords: idiomaticity; pragmatics; second language teaching; digital learning; learner empowerment; natural language use © Urmia University Press A R T I C L E H I S T O R Y Received: 23 Jan. 2018 Revised version received: 21 May 2018 Accepted: 1 June 2018 Available online: 1 July 2018 * Corresponding author: Department of Teaching and Learning, College of Education, University of South Florida, Tampa, US Email address: [email protected] © Urmia University Press 2 John I.
