  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

  • David Meskill for Young Workers, the Standardized Vocational Training System Created Portable, and Hence Valuable, Certificates
    REFRAMING THE SKILLED WORKER: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ORIGINS OF THE GERMAN SKILLS MACHINE David Meskill Harvard University ABSTRACT In 1926, shortly after the German economy had emerged from thefog ofpost—World War I hypermnfiation, the principle employers’ groups, the National Association of German Industry and the Association of German Employers’ Organizations, founded a Working Committee on Vocational Training. The establishment of this body represented a decisive turning point in the emergence of the highly skilled modern German work force. By standardizing vocational definitions, training schemes, and national qualifying exams, the Committee and its successors helped German apprentices and employers overcome previous disincentives to investing in worker training. For young workers, the standardized vocational training system created portable, and hence valuable, certificates of the skills they had attained, thus making apprenticeships attractive. While employers still faced the risk that workers might leave the companies that had trained them, the collective agreement improved firms’ incentives to engage in vocational training: the heightened interest of youths meant they were more likely to complete their apprenticeships; egregious free-riding by non-training poaching firms was discouraged; and the certificates of standardized skill-levels assured companies of the quality of the workers they hired. This solution to the incentives problem in vocational training proved successful over the next fifteen years—and beyond:

  • Mark Hotel in Downtown St
    Easter Sunrise Services - April 7 1996 - Washington, DC As we enter the spring season, it is always a great feeling that we celebrate Easter with services at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia. What a beautiful setting for our services. If you have not been in attendance at one of the Easter Services you have missed a once-in-a-lifetime event that is available to a Knight Templar. One faces the east and sees in the distance the dome of our nations capitol and the skyline of monuments that spell out our great heritage as Masons and citizens of this great country of ours. This year the services will be under the supervision of our Grand Prelate, Sir Knight Donald Hinslea Smith, Past Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America. Whenever Sir Knight Don speaks, he always has a very interesting message and lesson for all of us. Sir Knight Richard Baldwin, Honorary Past Department Commander, Past Grand Commander of Virginia and General Chairman of the Committee on the Easter Sunrise Memorial Service, has a message for all attending in regard to the package deal with the Hotel Washington and also for those who wish to obtain Saturday luncheon tickets and Easter morning breakfast tickets. Remember, all presiding Grand Commanders and their ladies are guests of the Grand Encampment for the Saturday noonday luncheon. See page 13 of this issue for Sir Knight Baldwin's message. Membership Retention Right Worshipful Brother and Sir Knight George H. Hohenshildt, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, has called a meeting of the leaders of Freemasonry which include the Sovereign Grand Commanders of both jurisdictions of the Scottish Rite and the Grand Master of the Grand Encampment to see what can be done to retain members who already have or are drifting away from our Masonic organization through demits and suspensions for nonpayment of dues.

  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 7: REFINEMENT Other styles of vocal harmony. The "studio" style, a first cousin of the modern barbershop style, was developing under the influence of Gene Puerling, whose 50's group, the Hi Los, had set the pace. Puerling continued to sing and arrange in this style, with the group Singers Unlimited. This music has always held the fascination of barbershoppers because of its a capella style and its emphasis on tuning and good vocal production. Another group that has provided us with some fine harmony is the British concert group, the King's Singers. The gospel style became more sophisticated, and eventually both the white and black quartets were largely displaced by solo singing and other vocal styles which depend heavily on instrumentation. Here are some samplings of fairly recent white and black quartets. S. K. Grundy. Many of the Confederates' most memorable songs were arranged by the man from Springfield, Missouri, S. K. Grundy, one of our all time greats. He directed the orchestra of a Baptist College in Springfield, Missouri. He wrote lots of barbershop arrangements, many of which were considered daring, audacious, and unstylistic. They contained many unusual twists. One of Grundy's masterpieces was "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square," which he arranged for the Confederates, and revived some twenty-five years later by the Vocal Majority. In hindsight, many feel that Grundy was ahead of his time. Those who heard his work didn't understand it and Grundy was written off as a "wild man." But he was a superb musician, and in the sixties he went to California to do vocal and instrumental arrangements for Lawrence Welk.
