  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

  • Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, MM
    ABSTRACT Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel’s Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, M.M. Mentor: Jean A. Boyd, Ph.D. In 2001, the release of Fantasies and Delusions officially announced Billy Joel’s remarkable career transition from popular songwriting to classical instrumental music composition. Representing Joel’s eclectic aesthetic that transcends genre, this album features a series of ten solo piano pieces that evoke a variety of musical styles, especially those coming from the Romantic tradition. A collaborative effort with classical pianist Hyung-ki Joo, Joel has mentioned that Fantasies and Delusions is the album closest to his heart and spirit. However, compared to Joel’s popular works, it has barely received any scholarly attention. Given this gap in musicological work on the album, this thesis focuses on the album’s content, creative process, and connection with Billy Joel’s life, career, and artistic identity. Through this thesis, I argue that Fantasies and Delusions is reflective of Joel’s artistic identity as an eclectic composer, a melodist, a Romantic, and a Piano Man. Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music by Jie Fang Goh, B.M. A Thesis Approved by the School of Music Gary C. Mortenson, D.M.A., Dean Laurel E.

  • Guide to Ideal Cities by Erika Meitner
    Guide to idEAL CiTiES by erika meitner Author Asks: 1) I took my title for this book—Ideal Cities—from visual artist Kim Beck’s project of the same name (which can be seen here). Can you find any connections between the poems in the book, and Beck’s project? 2) There are two epigraphs that open the book—one from Robert Smithson and one from The Song of Songs. Are these merely ornamental, or do they speak to issues addresses in the book? If so, how? 3) This book is broken into two sections: “Rental Towns” and “Ideal Cities.” How do the sections differ from one another, if at all? 4) Poems are often identified as belonging to either the “narrative” or “lyric” poetry traditions. A narrative poem is loosely defined as a poem that tells a story, whereas a lyric poem generally relies more on descriptions of feelings and a musical quality of language. In which category would you be most inclined to place the poems in Ideal Cities? Why? 5) The poems in Ideal Cities contain pop culture references (song titles, cartoon characters, celebrity names, TV show titles) and product names (Peeps, Cadillac, Miracle Blanket, Pyrex), as well as specific retail chain store names (7-Eleven, Food Lion, Waffle House, Burger King, etc.). In a 1999 interview in the Literary Review, poet David Trinidad says the following about the use of pop culture in poems: “I suppose there's still, in some quarters, this attitude that poetry has to be above all that, that it has to be this serious, highbrow thing, that the rest is passing garbage and won't last.
