Steve Kaufman's Favorite 50 American Traditional Fiddle Tunes by STEVE KAUFMAN Pdf

This collection of fiddle tunes originally appeared in Kaufman's Collection of American Fiddle Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar (MB 95748) but the book was so large and heavy that they couldn't put all the songs on CDs to include with the package so it was divided into four great, melody packed volumes. Each book now includes a CD that holds all the songs in the volume.Steve Kaufman says he can't emphasize enough the importance of developing a large repertoire of tunes. Fiddle tunes give us melodies that eventually allow us to begin to improvise. Sometimes without even knowing it. the more tunes you know, the more melodies and intersecting melody lines you know. This allows you to eventually cut and paste portions of the melody line into another song. In the beginning you will probably unknowingly replace and ending run. These are the last two measures of the section of a tune. Many of them in the same key are interchangeable, unless they are specific to the melody of the song. After a while you will cut out measures in the middle of the song and then you will be able to take the snips of melodies and play them in another song in a different key thus beginning to improvise. All of this is possible because you built up your repertoire of tunes.

Classic American Popular Song by David Jenness,Donald Velsey Pdf

Classic American Popular Song: The Second Half-Century, 1950-2000 addresses the question: What happened to American popular song after 1950? There are numerous books available on the so-called Golden Age of popular song, but none that follow the development of popular song styles in the second half of the 20th century. While 1950 is seen as the end of an era, the tap of popular song creation hardly ran dry after that date. Many of the classic songwriters continued to work through the following decades: Porter was active until 1958; Rodgers until the later 1970s; Arlen until 1976. Some of the greatest lyricists of the classic era continued to do outstanding and successful work: Johnny Mercer and Dorothy Fields, for example, continued to produce lyrics through the early '70s. These works could be explained as simply the Golden Age's last stand, a refusal of major figures to give in to a new reality. But then, how can we explain the outstanding careers of Frank Loesser, Cy Coleman, Jerry Herman, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, Fred Kander and John Ebb, Jule Styne, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, and several other major figures? Where did Stephen Sondheim come from? For anyone interested in the development of American popular song -- and its survival -- this book will make fascinating reading.

American Traditional by E M Lindsey Pdf

Only a lucky few meet their soulmates-and for Sage Osbourne, loving and losing him came all at once. Sage couldn't be more different from his twin brother Derek. They suffered under the same cruel father, but Sage managed to escape just before hitting rock bottom, and that was where met the love of his life. Unfortunately, just as he was starting to think in terms of forever, Teddy was taken from him. Terrified to try again, Sage found a home at the Irons and Works tattoo shop and resigned himself to being alone. After all, that was a lot better than the crushing grief that came with loss. And then Will Rahman smiled at him across his café counter, and Sage's world began to rearrange. Tasked with tutoring Will's little sister, Sage gets closer to the man than he intends to, and he's torn in half when he realizes Will is in an abusive relationship. He wants to help, but his fear of loving and losing keeps getting in his way. Sage isn't the kind of man who takes brave leaps, but the longer he spends with Will, the more he realizes that the other man might be worth it. Even if it means risking his heart one more time.

Vintage Tattoos by Carol Clerk Pdf

Tattoos have gone from badges of rebellion to fashion statements fully absorbed into mainstream culture. They are enjoying a renaissance, with graphic designers and artists creating specialty tattoos for a growing audience, unleashing a revival of interest in the bawdy vintage tattoo. Old school tattoos are being rediscovered (sometimes ironically, sometimes not) by a new generation. Originally embraced by rebels, sailors, and gangsters, these tattoos—broken hearts, naked girls, floral motifs, and maritime emblems—are now showing up on the fashion runway and in music videos. This book chronicles vintage motifs in thematic chapters interspersed with profiles of influential tattoo artists and their distinctive designs: Sailor Jerry Collins, Don Ed Hardy ("the Godfather of Tattoos"), Mike "Rollo Banks" Malone, Bert Grimm, Japan’s Horiyoshi III, and Shanghai’s Pinky Yun.

The North American Folk Music Revival by Gillian Mitchell Pdf

This work represents the first comparative study of the folk revival movement in Anglophone Canada and the United States and combines this with discussion of the way folk music intersected with, and was structured by, conceptions of national affinity and national identity. Students will find the book useful as an introduction, not only to key themes in the folk revival, but also to concepts in the study of national identity and to topics in American and Canadian cultural history. Academic specialists will encounter an alternative perspective from the more general, broad approach offered by earlier histories of the folk revival movement.

Flash from the Bowery by Cliff White Pdf

Between these pages are images of the original acetate rubbings from Charlie Wagner's turn of the 20th century tattoo shop, The Black Eye Barbershop, in the Bowery at Chatham Square in New York. This is the only known art that has survived from this shop, where Samuel J. O'Reilley's modern-day electric tattoo machine was born and patented. The imagery of this classic flash preserves the origins of American tattoos, when tattoo art was transferred to the client from these templates via an acetate stencil. Everything was done by hand until O'Reilley's electrified tattoo machine changed history. This rich heritage of folk art has more than 900 individual pieces of flash that provide commentary on the shop's clientele and reveal some of the social, economic, and political ideas of the time. Including nautical themes, Asian imagery, flowers, boxers, circus characters, and plenty of girls, this is an exciting collection of early American flash and a necessary book for the tattoo artist, aficionado, and student.

Her American Classic by G J Morgan Pdf

Told from dual perspectives that span two books, this moving and emotionally-driven love story will leave readers breathless and reeling in equal measure. It continues. Tom watches from afar, day in, day out, seeing Lily laugh, seeing her cry - an unravelling actress, ripe for the taking. All he needs is one photo, the money it could make, the life it could give him and his family. So why can't he do it? Lily's also at a cross-roads. It's clear now that no matter how far she runs, she can't ever escape fame, the paparazzi, even her boyfriend. Surely it's just a matter of time before she does something stupid, something she’ll forever regret. Give them their big headline. Their front page news. Unless someone can convince the actress there’s more to life than sacrifice. It ends...?
