  • ALL MY SONS a Play in Three Acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller
    ALL MY SONS a play in three acts by Arthur Miller Characters: Joe Keller (Keller) Kate Keller (Mother) Chris Keller Ann Deever George Deever Dr. Jim Bayliss (Jim) Sue Bayliss Frank Lubey Lydia Lubey Bert Act One The back yard of the Keller home in the outskirts of an American town. August of our era. The stage is hedged on right and left by tall, closely planted poplars which lend the yard a secluded atmosphere. Upstage is filled with the back of the house and its open, unroofed porch which extends into the yard some six feet. The house is two stories high and has seven rooms. It would have cost perhaps fifteen thousand in the early twenties when it was built. Now it is nicely painted, looks tight and comfortable, and the yard is green with sod, here and there plants whose season is gone. At the right, beside the house, the entrance of the driveway can be seen, but the poplars cut off view of its continuation downstage. In the left corner, downstage, stands the four‐foot‐high stump of a slender apple tree whose upper trunk and branches lie toppled beside it, fruit still clinging to its branches. Downstage right is a small, trellised arbor, shaped like a sea shell, with a decorative bulb hanging from its forward‐curving roof. Carden chairs and a table are scattered about. A garbage pail on the ground next to the porch steps, a wire leaf‐burner near it. On the rise: It is early Sunday morning. Joe Keller is sitting in the sun reading the want ads of the Sunday paper, the other sections of which lie neatly on the ground beside him.

  • It Is Christmas Eve at a Waffle House Just Off Interstate 24 in Murfreesboro, TN, Just 20 Miles Outside of Nashville
    A SCATTERED, SMOTHERED & COVERED CHRISTMAS A Waffle House Christmas Musical written by Kaine Riggan (It is Christmas Eve at a Waffle House just off Interstate 24 in Murfreesboro, TN, just 20 miles outside of Nashville. As the lights come up, wee see one gentleman sitting in a booth drinking coffee and having a bowl of chili. A quirky little waitress names Rita enters, obviously in a good mood. She is somewhere between plain and attractive and somewhere between thirty-five and fifty-five, although it is somewhat difficult to judge where in either category she clocks in. She pours out the old coffee (regular) and starts a new pot. She picks up a second pot (decaf) and smells it and decides to keep it. Suddenly, she notices the audience for the first time.) RITA Well shoot fire! If I’d known all ya’ll were gonna be here tonight, I’d a spent more time on this hair. (She quickly adjusts her hairdo) What do you think Harold? Is that better or should I just wear my bad hair day bonnet? (referring to her Waffle House paper hat) (HAROLD mumbles a grouchy, unintelligible response) Oh, chip up, Harold. It’s Christmas Eve! Don’t you just love Christmas Eve? (HAROLD starts to mumble again but she talks right over his response) Awe, there’s just something about this place on Christmas Eve. It’s magical… like there’s something special in the air. HAROLD (acknowledging himself) Sorry! RITA That is not exactly what I had in mind (shouting towards the kitchen) Bert, get in here and change this chili out.

  • "Make America Great Again Rally" in Cedar Rapids, Iowa June 21, 2017
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2017 Remarks at a "Make America Great Again Rally" in Cedar Rapids, Iowa June 21, 2017 Audience members. U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! The President. Thank you, everybody. It is great to be back in the incredible, beautiful, great State of Iowa, home of the greatest wrestlers in the world, including our friend, Dan Gable. Some of the great, great wrestlers of the world, right? We love those wrestlers. It's always terrific to be able to leave that Washington swamp and spend time with the truly hard-working people. We call them American patriots, amazing people. I want to also extend our congratulations this evening to Karen Handel of Georgia. And we can't forget Ralph Norman in South Carolina. He called me, and I called him. He said, you know, last night I felt like the forgotten man. But he won, and he won really beautifully, even though most people—a lot of people didn't show up because they thought he was going to win by so much. It's always dangerous to have those big leads. But he won very easily, and he is a terrific guy. And I'll tell you what, Karen is going to be really incredible. She is going to be joining some wonderful people and doing some wonderful work, including major, major tax cuts and health care and lots of things. Going to be reducing crime, and we're securing that Second Amendment. I told you about that. And that looks like it's in good shape with Judge Gorsuch.

  • Presentation #4- Opening
    1 PRESENTATION #4- OPENING Good afternoon fellow club members and friends. Today we hope to enlighten you in regards to two aspects of Nelson’s and Jeanette’s lives. The first is in regard to clarifying that the love that existed between these two people was real. To accomplish this we will report actual private and sensitive quotations from both parties and you can draw your own conclusions as to the validity of their love. Most are not from their early romance days when they might be expected, but after their love had been ongoing for years. This was a life-long love between these two passionate human beings. The tragedy of living in an era of Victorian attitudes took a toll. It is a shame that in this age where their private life would be accepted as perfectly normal, there are those who still insist on judging it by Victorian morals and refute their love with salacious terms as “adulterous”! That term disappeared from our vocabulary back in the sixties! Their love was so powerful that they had to live two lives, public and private. We are going to take just a brief look at their private life and take a modern and tolerant position of what they had to overcome but not give up the love they had for one another. Any woman today would feel as Jeanette did if they could just experience a little of the love she received. And no doubt there are modern men today that would be overwhelmed to be as confident as Nelson was in the love he received from his Jeanette.

Sutanto B.M., The Boston Conservatory, 1995 M.M., Manhattan School of Music, 1997 Committee Chair: Prof. Frank Weinstock Abstract Vladimir Horowitz and Evgeny Kissin would certainly be included among the very few of the greatest pianists ever recorded. This document provides a detailed description of their interpretations of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition based on their recordings. The document begins with brief biographical information about Mussorgsky and Victor Hartmann, which is then followed by a historical background of Pictures. Brief biographies of Horowitz and Kissin are included as well. The concluding chapter discusses whether or not it is important for pianists to follow Mussorgsky’s original intentions regarding the suite. Is it necessary for pianists to make some changes or improvisations to the suite—eccentric playing? Will Pictures still sound good and interesting if pianists faithfully follow the score—academic playing? Pianists Frank Weinstock and Jason Kwak offer their opinions in answering these questions.

With its aggressive beat and anti-establishment connotations, rockabilly is considered a widely male-dominated genre, a point supported by the majority of scholarship and literature on the subject. However, a review of available contemporary recordings, television shows, advertisements and interviews show that women were an integral part of the history of rockabilly music.
