Mankato, Minnesota; Growing up in the '30s and '40s by Clayton Lagerquist Pdf
This book was written by me over a period of years from notes and recollections of a happy childhood. It was written mostly for my kids, grandkids and friends who shared these times. The time was unique and our generation was noted for our hard work, self-sufficiency and patriotism. We came right after the 'greatest generation' and stepped in at an early age to fill the gaps left by those that went to war. Hopefully you will find the book heartwarming and humorous.

Storytelling from Boyhood and Beyond by Jim Slater Pdf
Storytelling from Boyhood and Beyond By: Jim Slater Storytelling from Boyhood and Beyond is a collection of stories relating to multiple generations of family: “a first trip from home,” “high school graduation,” “a letter from home when in Korea,” “engagement, marriage, and a lethal pancreatic cancer departure after fifty years.” Readers find themselves woven into a time they themselves lived through – or a time they were told about. Some stories invoke a chuckle or laughter – and yes, even tears.
Mamie Smith's pathbreaking 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues" set the pop music world on fire, inaugurating a new African American market for "race records." Not long after, such records also brought black blues performance to an expanding international audience. A century later, the mainstream blues world has transformed into a multicultural and transnational melting pot, taking the music far beyond the black southern world of its origins. But not everybody is happy about that. If there's "No black. No white. Just the blues," as one familiar meme suggests, why do some blues people hear such pronouncements as an aggressive attempt at cultural appropriation and an erasure of traumatic histories that lie deep in the heart of the music? Then again, if "blues is black music," as some performers and critics insist, what should we make of the vibrant global blues scene, with its all-comers mix of nationalities and ethnicities? In Whose Blues?, award-winning blues scholar and performer Adam Gussow confronts these challenging questions head-on. Using blues literature and history as a cultural anchor, Gussow defines, interprets, and makes sense of the blues for the new millennium. Drawing on the blues tradition's major writers including W. C. Handy, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Amiri Baraka, and grounded in his first-person knowledge of the blues performance scene, Gussow's thought-provoking book kickstarts a long overdue conversation.
