Contemporary newspaper re- ports offer interesting insights into the workings of the contests and the activities of the contestants, giving us a fascinating glimpse into the lives and fortunes of numerous early Panhandle fiddlers, including noted musicians Eck Robertson, J. T. Wills - father of Western Swing legend Bob Wills, Jess Morris, and others.1 Census statistics indicate just over 15,000 Amarillo residents in 1920, and the town had grown to a city of 43,000 by 1930.2 Amarillo’s older citizens who noticed the changing landscape may have had fond memories of the old days, and the Old Fiddler contests gave them an opportunity to enjoy what was perceived as a fast dying art.

    Ridin' Old Paint: Documenting the Canadian River Breaks Fiddle

    Wilkinson: Ridin' Old Paint W uddy Holly Center Pioneers”“Hardy Fiddlers and the Buddy Holly Center • Texas est Ridin’ Old Paint: Documenting the Canadian River Breaks Fiddle Tradition By Andy Wilkinson I did the best part of my growing up and got the best part of my education around the cowboys in the Canadian River Breaks of Texas. We lived on a relatively small outfit, but we were surrounded by the big outfits-the Bivins Coldwater Cattle Com- pany, the Killgores, the upper Matadors down the road. When we went to Channing to get supplies cowboys still tethered their horses and walked the short main street, and the air was filled with the sound of spurs jingling in unison with the clop of bootheels on the old boardwalk where the cowboys strolled in full regalia. When I was very young I thought of these cowboys as gods and wanted to walk and talk like them, be like them, know and live by their ways. The Breaks were full of music. My four sisters sang like angels in the shape-note harmonies of the old gospel music. I would discover that there were many fine musi- cians, poets and even laymen scholars steeped in the classics among the cowboys. We were Primitive Baptists and I was in my teens before I could devise my itinerary in 49 such a way that I could go to the cowboy dances. I had already learned from them some of the old songs, but when I heard their string band ensembles playing the old fiddle music, I knew I would always be a better listener than performer.

    Elektronisk version af artikel i Analyser af TV, ISBN 87-7332-102-8, Forlaget Medusa 1985 Anne Hjort Kvinderne og Dallas Den amerikanske W-serie Dallas forblev fra premieren i julen 1980, indtil det sidste 71. afsnit blev sendt to år senere, lidt af en sensation i dansk W. Med et overordentlig stort seertal på 2.9 millioner i starten og 2.4 millioner til slut er Dallas blevet set i alle samfundsgrupper - men alligevel ikke lige meget. Dal- las har været mest populær hos kvinderne. Det er kvinderne - og de kvindelige erfaringer - i Dailas og foran Dallas, der står centralt i den folgende artikel. Sporgsrnålet om Dallas' fascination og værdi for specielt dens kvindelige seere soges nemlig ikke alene besvaret ud fra en indholdsanalyse af serien, men også udfra interviews med kvinder om deres faktiske oplevel- se af serien og af en konkret episode, 'Julie vender tilba- ge', sendt i danskfjernsyn den 21. august 1981. Dallas er interessant, ikke mindst i lyset af den aktu- elle mediepolitiske situation i Europa, hvor W-satellit- ter og kabel-TV vil betyde en voldsom forogelse af TV- udbuddet og W-forbruget. Det er en situation, hvis kul- turpolitiske konsekvenser er usikre, men som med ga- ranti medforer én ting - vi får mere 'Dallas'. Dallas-serien Den fnrste episode af Dallas blev vist i USA i april 1978. Seriens ojeblikkelige succes betod, at CBS generobrede pladsen som 'the top prime-time network' fra ABC, som derefter straks gik i gang med at producere 'modserien' Dynasty (Dollars).

    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.
