  • Once a Day”--Connie Smith (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Barry Mazor (Guest Post)*
    “Once a Day”--Connie Smith (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2020 Essay by Barry Mazor (guest post)* Bill Anderson, Connie Smith and Bob Ferguson in the studio Just months before Connie Smith would step up to the microphone at RCA Records’ Music Row Studio B for her very first recording session, she was a virtually unknown Ohio housewife who’d performed at nearby fairs and on local television. Then, fatefully, at an August 1963 talent contest near Columbus, the contest judge proved to be recording star and country songwriting master Bill Anderson. He would note in his memoir, “None of us could believe such a big voice was coming out of such a petite lady.” He’d told her that if she ever came to Nashville to pursue a country career, he’d be there for her. It took her months to decide to give that a try. RCA’s Nashville label head, Chet Atkins, was impressed by her demo tapes, and when Anderson assured him that he’d have new songs for her that could help get her established, she was signed to the label and in the studio within three weeks. Constance June Meador Smith was 23 as her recording career began that day--July 16, 1964--a young wife and mother. The third song she recorded at that first session, Bill Anderson’s “Once a Day,” in which the singer tells us how the loss of a love to another can be devastating, and as a matter of fact, there’s no denying it has been, would become a country music phenomenon.

    RECONSTRUCTION IN THE CHICKASAW NATION, 1865-1877 By PARTHENA LOUISE JAMES Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1963 Submitted to the faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1967 1n«iR~ STArE -ilwtlfflfftf L~S!Ft,A~Yf JAN 10 M 1865-1877 Thesis Approved: .na Dean of the~--- Graduate College 358863 ii PREFACE The Chickasaw Indians have the doubtful honor of being remembered by historians as the smallest and most warlike of the Five Civilized Tribes . Like so many other tribes, they were forced to leave their na­ tive homes and settle in Indian Territory as white c ivilization advanced ac ross the American, continent. Some twenty years after coming to their new lands , the lives of the Chickasaws were again interrupted. The Civil War broke out and the Chickasaws , almost unanimously, joined the Confederate States of Ame rica. They felt a strong sympathy for the Southern cause, since they not only owned Negro slaves which they had purchased wi_th money received from the sale of Southern Chickasaw lands, but also had many friends who joined the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the fighting. Th e purpose of t his thesis is to investigate the effec ts of the post-Civil War reconstruction period on the Chickasaws. The Chickasaws suffered little direc t damage from t he Ci vil War since there was but limited fighting within the Chickasaw Nation and the tribe was spared a division of opinion in choosing sides in the conflict.

WHEREAS, it is fitting that this General Assembly should recognize those gifted artists who have experienced great success in the world of country music; and WHEREAS, Constance June Meador, better known to her legions of fans as Connie Smith, was born August 14, 1941 , to parents Hobart and Wilma Meador in Elkhart, Indiana; she grew up in Ohio where she fell in love with country music listening to the Louvin brothers, George Jones, and Loretta Lynn on Grand Ole Opry broadcasts from Nashville, Tennessee; and WHEREAS, her love of singing was discovered in 1963 by singer-songwriter Bill Anderson. Connie was a housewife and mother with a four-month-old son in Warner, Ohio, when she and her husband went to see a country music show at Frontier Ranch near Columbus, Ohio. She was talked into entering a talent contest, which she won, enabling her to meet Bill, who invited her to sing on the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree in March 1964. A few months later Bill invited her back to Nashville to record some demo records; and WHEREAS, in June 1964 Connie was signed to a contract with RCA Victor Records by Chet Atkins, who called her "the greatest girl singer he'd ever heard." She soon cut her very first recording entitled, "Once a Day," which would be a phenomenon in country music history.

Surface Corrosion on Wing Ribs (Not Spars) 1165 April 17, 2008 It would be next to impossible to "scotch brite" both sides of all your wing ribs due to limited access through the tank openings. From what you describe, it sounds like you have relatively benign surface powder corrosion - not all than uncommon in our 40 year old planes, depending on where it has lived. Obviously, you should remove all that you can get to with the scotch pad. The rest can hopefully be neutralized with ACF-50. When you apply it - make sure you use a fogging applicator - otherwise, you will be wasting your time and money. The ACF-50 website has video instructions. IMHO - airframe corrosion prevention/treatment is most neglected aspect of aircraft maintenance and ownership. Sooner or later, it will most likely be what sends our aging planes to the salvage yard.

  • Freedmen in the Indian Territory After the Civil War: the Dual Approaches of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE NANZAN REVIEW OF AMERICAN STUDIES Volume 30 (2008): 91-108 Proceedings of the NASSS 2008 Social Sciences I Freedmen in the Indian Territory after the Civil War: The Dual Approaches of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations IWASAKI YOSHITAKA HANNAN UNIVERSITY, PART-TIME LECTURER Introduction I shall be discussing the tribal membership of “freedmen”, the ex-slaves owned and emancipated by two Native American groups―the Choctaw and the Chickasaw of the so-called “Five Civilized Tribes” living in the Indian Territory, now around the State of Oklahoma―and their descendants, and how these freedmen were―or were not―assimilated into the tribes of their former owners after the American Civil War. In contrast to the other three nations―the Cherokee, the Creek/Muscogee, and the Seminole Nations―who accepted freedmen in their territories as citizens in 1866, the Choctaw and the Chickasaw both refused to grant rights of citizenship to the freedmen in their territories until much later. The Choctaw Nation did not follow suit until 1883, and although the Chickasaw Nation decided to grant their freedmen rights of citizenship in 1873, these were never fully promulgated. The Chickasaw freedmen, then, belonged to neither the Chickasaw Nation nor the United States; they endured a ‘limbo of citizenship’ for over 40 years until 1907, when the Indian Territory was at last incorporated into the United States as the State of Oklahoma. The Choctaw and the Chickasaw legislatures termed the dilemma “The Negro Question.” For their part, the freedmen of the two nations referred to themselves as “slaves without masters”.1 Why did the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations treat their freedmen more severely than the three other nations, and why did the Choctaw and the Chickasaw differ in their policies over the “The Negro Question”, that is, how to treat freedmen? These questions will be considered in my presentation today.

  • “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.
