  • Memoirs of Ruby Partin Long (A Pelham Valley Story)
    Memoirs of Ruby Partin Long (A Pelham Valley Story) Submitted by Jackie Layne Partin (Ruby Anna Mae Partin Long, born 1916-died 2003, was a daughter of William Harrison “Willie” and Octavia “Tavy” Goodman Partin. She was a sister to Grady Edward Partin, Lottie Partin Bell, Douglas Partin and Roy Partin. I found this little booklet containing her memoirs in one of my notebooks, and upon rereading it, I was assured that there was material in it for sharing. With corrections for clarity, italics to furnish names, added photos for interest and permission from her family, I present the memoirs as she wrote them. Jackie) Ruby Anna Mae Partin Long William Harrison “Willie” Partin and his new bride Octavia “Tavy” Goodman Partin I was born in the old Bell House in Bells Cove, Tennessee, where my mother always said the wind would whistle through the cracks. Our heat was a fireplace where you burned on one side and froze on the other. I was playing out in the yard as a small toddler, and Mama found me turning blue, so she grabbed me up and ran her finger down my throat and dislodged a cocklebur. I was bad about putting things into my mouth. My neighbor told me that she found me with pieces of pretty glass trying to chew it. They wiped my mouth out, and I was none the worse for it. While I was rather young, we moved to Alto where my brother Grady and sister Lottie started to school. I was about four at the time, and I begged to go with them saying, “I am plenty big enough to go to school.” When I was five, they let me start to school, and I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed anything as much all through life as going to school and learning new things, especially arithmetic.

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.

  • Willie Hugh Nelson Est Né Le 29 Avril 1933 À Abbott, Périphérie De Fort Worth (Texas), Pendant La Grande Dépression
    Willie Hugh Nelson est né le 29 avril 1933 à Abbott, périphérie de Fort Worth (Texas), pendant la Grande Dépression. Il sera élevé par ses Grands Parents (ses parents, sa mère Myrle Marie (née Greenhaw et son père Ira Doyle Nelson divorcent alors que Willie n’a que 6 mois). Son grand-père forgeron décèdera lorsque Willie à 6 ans. En dehors de l’école il va travailler dans les champs de coton ou de maïs pour s’acheter des fournitures scolaires. Sa Grand-mère, cantinière, gagne 18 $ par jour et s’occupe de sa famille. Autour de sa 5ème année Willie apprend la musique sur une guitare ’’ Harmony ‘’ que lui achète son grand père, à partir d’un catalogue de vente par correspondance ‘’ Sears and Roebuck ‘’. Sa grand-mère commence à lui montrer quelques accords ; sa sœur Bobbie, aînée de 2 ans, joue du piano. A 7 ans Willie écrit sa première chanson et à 9 ans il chante dans un groupe local, les ‘’Bohemian Polka’’. Après ses études secondaires Willie occupe plusieurs emplois : vendeur d’encyclopédies en faisant du porte-à-porte, puis représentant de machines à coudre Singer. Willie commence à jouer dans des orchestres puis intègre l'US Air Force en 1950. En 1956 Il reprend quelques études à l'université Baylor de Waco, mais abandonne rapidement celles-ci et une future carrière d’agriculteur pour devenir musicien et disc jockey et se destiner à la Country Music. S'installant à Vancouver, dans l'état de Washington, le jeune homme débute dans les clubs, tentant d'imposer son style folk sudiste traditionnel face à un public globalement indifférent à ce genre.

    BIOGRAPHY: WILLIE NELSON OUTLAW LEGEND Willie Nelson’s influence has stretched into almost every corner of country music since the 1960s, but his role in the Outlaw movement has particular significance. During the mid-1970s, Nelson, along with Waylon Jennings, led the way in bringing the raw, rootsy, and renegade sound to country. “He wasn’t merely a singer with a big song — there were plenty of those,” his biographer Graeme Thomson wrote about Nelson’s Outlaw era. “He was at the head of a movement, something completely new and odd this rebellious style, Nelson took on a countercultural and intriguing . .” appearance, wearing a beard, tying a bandanna around his head, and letting his hair grow long and eventually Born into the Great Depression on April 30, 1933, in turn into his trademark pigtails. tiny Abbott, Texas, Nelson was virtually abandoned as a baby by his parents and raised by his paternal His first #1 song, in 1975, was an inspired and unlikely grandparents.

  • Willie Nelson: Songwriter out of Need
    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 3-6 Willie Nelson: Songwriter Out of Need Willie Nelson is one of country music’s trailblazing singers and musicians. When he was young, he wanted so badly to make his career in music that he was willing to do anything. He first enjoyed success as a songwriter, and for a while he was among the most successful in Nashville. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, Nelson wrote more than two thousand songs. Among them were songs that would become timeless classics, including “Crazy,” “Night Life,” and “Funny How Time Slips Away.” Nelson became a star performer himself in the 1970s, and he did not write as much. “I stopped churning them out because I no longer felt the need to keep writing constantly,” he said. “There is nothing that quite compares with being broke and desperate, to make a real writer keep working.” Nelson knew poverty from his earliest days. Born during He wrote hit after hit for other artists, but Nelson’s bluesy the Great Depression, on April 30, 1933, in tiny Abbott, singing was different from pop-country styles of the 1960s.

Instead, musical tastes changed, and he was among a group of artists called “Outlaws,” who “Melodies are the easiest part for me,” Nelson said, attracted a national following with a raw country style.
