  • An Investigation of the Electric Bass Guitar in Twentieth Century Popular Music and Jazz
    An investigation of the electric bass guitar in Twentieth Century popular music and jazz. A thesis presented by David Stratton in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree, Master of Arts (Honours). School of Contemporary Arts College of Arts, Education, and Social Sciences University of Western Sydney April 2005 i Abstract The acoustic bass played mostly an accompanying role in popular music during the first half of the Twentieth Century, whereas the arrival of the electric bass guitar in the early 1950s presented new opportunities for acoustic bassists and musicians, composers, producers, engineers, the recording industry and the listening public. The distinctive sound of the electric bass guitar encouraged musicians to explore new timbres. The musicians who embraced the electric bass guitar developed its language, discovering and employing different techniques. The instrument became a catalyst for change and took on a more prominent role, forever changing the sonic landscape of popular music and jazz in the Twentieth Century. ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to the following people for their assistance during the period of my candidature: For technical support I thank Karl Lindbom, Paul Tilley, Clive Lendich, Benjamin Huie, Gary Fredericks and Brendan Read. The musicians who performed with me - Michael Bartolomei, Graham Jesse, Andrew Gander, Craig Naughton, Gordon Rytmeister, Nicholas McBride, Paul Panichi and Matthew Doyle. Kerrie Lester and Nikki Mortimer for granting permission to reproduce the paintings and etching.

And deserving or not, guitarists have a reputation for having less-than-perfect time. But it’s not as if perfect meter makes you a perfect rhythm player. There’s something else. Something elusive. A swing, a feel, or a groove—you know it when you hear it, or feel it. Each player on this list has “it,” regardless of genre, and if there’s one lesson all of these players espouse it’s never take rhythm for granted. Ever.

  • The Irish in American Cinema 1910 – 1930: Recurring Narratives and Characters
    The Irish in American Cinema 1910 – 1930: Recurring Narratives and Characters THOMAS JAMES SCOTT, University of Ulster ABSTRACT This paper will consider cinematic depictions of the Irish between 1910 and 1930. American cinema during these years, like those that preceded them, contained a range of stereotypical Irish characters. However, as cinema began to move away from short sketches and produce longer films, more complex plots and refined Irish characters began to appear. The onscreen Irish became vehicles for recurring themes, the majority of which had uplifting narratives. This paper will discuss common character types, such as the Irish cop and domestic servant, and subjects such as the migration narrative, the social reform narrative and the inter-ethnic comedy. It will also briefly consider how Irish depictions in the 1910s and 1920s compared to earlier representations. While the emphasis will be on films viewed at archives, including the University of California, Los Angeles Film and Television Archive, or acquired through private and commercial sellers, the paper will also reflect on some films that are currently considered lost. KEYWORDS Irish, cinema, representation, stereotypes, migrants. Introduction Feature Productions’ early ‘talkie’ Irish Fantasy (Orville O. Dull, 1929) should be considered important for two reasons. One, it is one of the earliest Irish-themed musicals to survive in its entirety. Two, it was produced by William Cameron Menzies, who would go on to win an Academy Award for his production design on MGM’s Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939). The film centres on an old Irish man explaining the meaning of the three leaves of the shamrock to his uninformed grandson, who remarks ‘sure they’re only weeds.’ The first leaf signifies what the Irish are, ‘happy-go-lucky with warm blood in our hearts.’ The second symbolises the big hearts of the Irish who were forced to migrate to America.

  • SURF MUSIC by Geoffrey Himes
    SURF MUSIC By Geoffrey Himes It often seems that the United States is a pool table that has been tilted so all its hopes and dreams roll to the west. Whenever Americans want a new and better life, they head toward the setting sun. Whether it was the white-canvas covered wagons of the 1850s, the rusty Okie jalopies of the 1930s or the painted hippie vans of the 1960s, the direction is always westward—and eventually they collect in the pool table’s corner pocket known as Southern California. When Chuck Berry went chasing after his imagined utopia in the song “Promised Land," where did he end up? Los Angeles. Thousands of Hollywood movies had advertised Southern California as a nirvana of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, convincing folks from Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio to pack up and move to the coast. By the end of the 1950s, the area around L.A. was full of almost as many transplanted Midwesterners as native Californians. The natives knew the region was no utopia, but the first and second-generation immigrants, these strangers in paradise, still clung to the notion of America’s western edge as the place where their dreams might come true. The teens and twentysomethings in these families—too young and too new to the West Coast to be disillusioned— turned that utopian impulse into a new kind of rock'n'roll: surf music. Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, whose father and mother had moved to California from Kansas and Minnesota respectively, formed the Beach Boys.

  • Biography of Bessie (Harrison) (Eyton) (Coffey) Mcdonald
    Biography of Bessie (Harrison) (Eyton) (Coffey) McDonald BESSIE HARRISON was born 05 July 1890 in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, California and died, 22 January 1965 at the age of 74 in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, California. Her Cause of Death was Congestive Heart Failure. She is buried at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura, Ventura County, California on January 29, 1965 in Section E, Plot 26, Grave 6E with the name of BESSIE MCDONALD. Her parents were EDGAR THOMAS HARRISON and CLARIBEL MEAD. She married 1st CHARLES F. EYTON (1871- 1941), Selig producer, about 1909 and divorced between 1912 and 1915. She married 2nd CLARK BREWER COFFEY (1885 - ) 29 September 1916 and divorced 29 June 1923. She married 3rd a <unknown> MCDONALD. In the 1900 U.S. Census at the age of nine, Bessie lived along with her parents and brother Elbert, on South Hope Street in Los Angeles. By the 1910 U.S. Census as indicated on the census, she was married to Charles F. Eyton for a year and living on North 49th Street in Los Angeles. In the 1920 U.S. Census, she is married but apparently separated from her second husband, Clark Coffey. She is living on Hillcrest Road in Los Angeles with her mother, who was also remarried and divorced from her second husband, Henry Brightly. Also living with her was brother, Elbert; and her half brother and sister, Henry and Claribel. Bessie got into show business by way of her father Edgar, who was a musician. The 1917 “Lincoln Daily Star” stated “she was visiting the Selig studios with a party of friends, when a director saw and liked her red hair because he said it would photograph a beautiful black, so he offered her a minor role.” As was common during that period, she married quite young and used her married name Eyton throughout her career, even after her divorce.
