I found a few interesting articles, one of which we will call our feature article, written by LCOC Club photographer John Walcek. This enjoyable story origi- nally appeared in the September-October 2010 issue of Continental Comments. We hope that you enjoy John Walcek’s nice story about the 70 year anniversary of the Lincoln Continental.

Many of Australia’s greatest radio serials were produced during the 1940s. Among those listed in this guide are the Sunday night one-hour plays - The Lux Radio Theatre and The Macquarie Radio Theatre (becoming the Caltex Theatre after 1947); the many Jack Davey Shows, and The Bob Dyer Show; the Colgate Palmolive variety extravaganzas, headed by Calling the Stars, The Youth Show and McCackie Mansion, which starred the outrageously funny Mo (Roy Rene). Fine drama programs produced in Sydney in the 1940s included The Library of the Air and Max Afford's serial Hagen's Circus. Among the comedy programs listed from this decade are the George Wallace Shows, and Mrs 'Obbs with its hilariously garbled language.

  • Mark Laver Jazzvertising
    Jazzvertising: Music, Marketing, and Meaning by Mark Laver A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Mark Laver 2011 Jazzvertising: Music, Marketing, and Meaning Mark Laver Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines jazz from the perspective of advertisers and marketers that have used the music with a view to unraveling the complicated web of cultural meanings and values that attend to jazz in the 21st century. Advertising is a critically important and profoundly complex medium for the mass dissemination of music and musical meaning. Advertisers and marketers therefore offer crucial perspectives on the construction, reification, and circulation of jazz meanings and discourses. At the same time, I argue that historically jazz has been a cultural practice that is uniquely situated on the cusp of the binarized cultural categories of “high art” and “popular/commercial”. With that in mind, I suggest that jazz offers an invaluable lens through which to examine the complex and often contradictory culture of consumption upon which North American capitalism is predicated. In a broad sense, then, I examine the confluence of jazz, consumption, and capitalism as they are articulated through the medium of advertising. ii I contextualize my analysis with a short history of music in advertising and a discussion of jazz’s embeddedness in capitalism and the North American culture of consumption. The core of the dissertation consists of three detailed case studies: an analysis of jazz and luxury in a 2003 Chrysler Canada campaign for the high-end cars Sebring and 300M, featuring Diana Krall; a discussion of the function of jazz in the spectacularization of cultural diversity and individual agency in the television campaign for a 2006 Diet Pepsi product called “Jazz”; and an examination of corporate amorality in the Toronto Dominion Bank’s sponsorship of jazz festivals in Canada.

The victory was the tightest since Artie Shaw topped King Benny for 1938s crown in that department. Almost as close was Tommy Dorsey’s lead over Glenn Miller for the sweet band lead. Tommy’s crown was re-acquired in the year of his string addition despite many adverse comments from the critics on the style change. Tommy held the crown in 1939 and then bowed to Glenn for the 1940 and 1941 seasons to recapture the coveted award again this year.1 January 1, 1943 (Fri) 10:30 - 11:00 pm Hollywood Palladium (KNX) (Local) (Sustaining) January 2, 1943 (Sat) M-G-M Studios Culver City, California Soundtrack Recording Session M-G-M Film Production “Girl Crazy” I GOT RHYTHM (Ira Gershwin-George Gershwin) Vocal refrain by Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Six Hits And A Miss, The Music Maids, Hal Hopper, Trudy Erwin, Barbara Canvin and the M-G-M Studio Chorus Continued from of December 29, 1942 recording session Also continued to February 2, 1943 recording session CD: Rhino R2 72732, R2 75290 January

  • The Life and Work of Robert Russell Bennett
    ''KJ, 'n THE LIFE AND WORK OF ROBERT RUSSELL BENNETT by ROY BENTON HAWKINS, B.M.Ed., M.M. A DISSERTATION IN FINE ARTS Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved, August, 1989 • he Copyright 1989 Roy Benton Hawkins ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Anyone who has ever undertaken a project of this nature is surely aware that its completion would have been impossible without the kind­ ness, assistance, patience, and support of many people. This study stands as an example of one that could not even have begun without the cooperation of several key persons. Foremost among these is Kean K. McDonald, the grandson of Robert Russell Bennett. Mr. McDonald's kind permission to allow the author access to Bennett's memoirs was the central element in the decision to attempt this study. Only marginally less important was the contribution of Gayle T. Harris, whose compilation of two thick binders of material about Bennett amounted to a head start for the author of months, or perhaps years. Her catalogue, "Another Russell Bennett Notebook," gave structure to the wealth of information that she had collected. In fact, the appendix of this study should be considered an updated version of a portion of the Harris catalogue. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, her lively intellectual curiosity, the thoroughness of her scholarship, her cooperativeness, and her devotion to the memory of Bennett (whom she knew) served as both object lesson and inspiration to the author. Gratitude must also be expressed to Barbara G.
