John Duffey's Bluegrass Life: Featuring The Country Gentlemen, Seldom Scene and Washington, D.C. with a Foreword by Tom Gray is the definitive biography of one of bluegrass music's most important artists of the genre. Through his work as a founding member of these two pioneering bands, John Duffey urbanized bluegrass and introduced it to a broad new audience. John's quotes from a four-hour, never-before-published 1984 interview are italicized throughout and provide the book's foundation.
The book begins with a profile of his father, John Humbird, Metropolitan Opera star and chronicles Duffey's earliest exposure to music, listening to opera on the radio with his dad. Childhood friend Bill Blackburn serves up memories of Duffey from the 2nd grade through high school and beyond involving bowling, baseball, and after-school drag racing adventures. The book reveals that it was hillbilly music on the radio that inspired Duffey to learn guitar and mandolin after a brief failed attempt at the banjo.
Accounts of Duffey's early musical career provide an overview of John's first bands, leading up to how The Country Gentlemen were formed following a horrific car accident. The Country Gentlemen's Bill Emerson, Charlie Waller, Eddie Adcock, and Tom Gray are profiled and interviewed.
For the first time, John's biological daughter, Ginger "Sam" Allred, speaks candidly about her relationship with both Duffey, and her stepfather, Pete Kuykendall. Duffey's friend Pete helped shape the Gent's first recordings, played with them, and founded Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
More than 50 rare or never-before-seen photographs--some by Carl Fleischhauer--create a fascinating portrait of the complex, iconoclastic entertainer. Carl also contributed his memories of John.
Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley are featured and the authors make a rebuttal negative assertions that Ralph Stanley made about Duffey in his 2009 autobiography. "John Duffey could be as mean as a striped snake. He did all kinds of things that I thought were just plain wrong," Stanley claimed. This book sets the record straight.
Also included is the complete article Duffey wrote for Bluegrass Unlimited, "So, You Don't Like The Way We Do It (or Damn Your Tape Recorder). Duffey also discusses why he quit The Country Gentlemen, setting up the complete story of The Seldom Scene, as told by Duffey, John Starling, Ben Eldridge, Dave Auldridge, Mike Auldridge, Phil Rosenthal, and Tom Gray.
Scores of colorful stories for which Duffey was known are carefully collected here and facts are separated from urban legends. Examples include encounters with fellow musicians, presidents, and The Tonight Show orchestra, as well as tales about the Grand Ole Opry, the saga about John's stolen mandolin, his outrageous emcee antics, and more.
Duffey's 1995 UK interview by Tom Travis is included as is an Art Menius 1987 feature article on the "New" Seldom Scene for Bluegrass Unlimited. In the final chapter, "Fare Thee Well," friends and bandmates remember John's last days before his fatal heart attack. Washington Post music critic Richard Harrington granted permission to reprint the 1996 obituary he wrote for John, A Mandolin For All Seasons.
Gary Oelze, the owner of the Birchmere music club where the Scene became stars, shared his memories of John. Sam Bush, Jonathan Edwards, Pete Kennedy, Martha Adcock, Akira Otsuka, Dick Cerri, Emmylou Harris, Jimmy Gaudreau, Bryan Bowers, Peter "Dr. Banjo" Wernick, Tom Travis, Cliff Waldron are among the many voices that contribute informative and compelling interviews.
The book's narrative is supplemented with a 43-page Discography that provides track listings, recording dates, producers, composers, and musicians for every album.

Описание: LANE CARSON is used to getting her own way-apart from throwing hissy fits and pulling outrageous stunts to attract her workaholic husband's attention, Lane lives a seemingly perfect life. But things are seldom as they seem... Lane is blindsided and her charmed and pampered existence uprooted, when her shattered husband, Micky Capello, breaks the devastating news: he's lost the family fortune and is leaving on a quest to "find himself." The most daunting part is they're losing the nannies-and the children Lane barely knows will live with her. Without the leisure to wallow in misery and self-pity, Lane is catapulted into an adventure of a lifetime that's filled with outlandish and often emotionally charged escapades of trial and error, all with her uber supportive-albeit dysfunctional-family in tow. This comedic drama is bursting with outlandish hilarity and warmth, and is sure to keep you roaring with laughter, while tugging at your heart with its endearing candid reflection. A must read

Описание: Welcome to Western Writers of America's first anthology for young readers. In this collection of true tales of the West, we leave textbook history in the rearview mirror and take you on a tour of twenty seldom-told dramas, the kind you might stumble across only if you leave the main road to wander the detours and byways of the American story. Here you'll meet extraordinary characters, from a young buffalo hunter of prehistoric times to riders for the Pony Express, the first African American female stagecoach driver, and the Navajo code talkers of World War II. Did you know that in 1821, a Plains Indian girl trekked 1,400 miles to visit Washington, DC? Or that two brave children, eight and ten years old, took part in the Texas Revolution? Tales in this anthology range wide in time, topic, and mood, yet all celebrate a spirit that is uniquely Western. Founded in 1953, Western Writers of America is the nation's oldest and most distinguished organization of professionals writing about the early frontier and the American West, its past and present. Now in our sixty-eighth year, our more than seven hundred members write fiction and nonfiction, songs, poetry, short stories, plays for stage and screen, and more. The contributors to this anthology, WWA members all, include bestselling authors and winners of numerous prestigious literary awards. With Why Cows Need Cowboys, we invite you to journey westward with us, and we hope you enjoy the ride.

Описание: Daniel McCosh weaves his love of nature and spiritualism into this collection which finds music and meaning within the cycles of life. Daniel observes the world often from the perspective of a painter, in layers of colour and textures. Many of the poems speak of animals and nature having souls and spiritual lives, in the same way that humans may exist in the afterlife. There is a sense of being grateful to humanity's ancestry and a responsibility to care for nature, on the Earth we have stewardship over. Certainly, Daniel finds meaning within nature's wisdom and is humble in its presence. Celebrating diversity and multiculturalism, this is a modern poetry collection which seeks to find love and joy in the world above all else.

Описание: If you crave epic, adventurous love stories, then meet Samuel and Rebecca and the iceberg that started it all. Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, fifteen year-old Rebeca Crowe's fascination with icebergs leads her to save a shipwrecked survivor, Samuel Dalton, the nineteen-year old son of a Toronto medical family. Love sparks in the crystal cave of an iceberg but is thwarted by an unreasonable father and the Great War that drags Samuel and his brother, Matthew, to the Western Front as medical officers. Knowing Rebecca is home safe in Newfoundland brings Samuel great comfort. But as the war moves towards its final harrowing days, they both discover that tragedy and terror can strike anywhere, setting their love on an unforeseen path. Only when Samuel and Rebecca can fully come to terms with such devastating loss and their impossible choices can their love soar. With an emotional intensity reminiscent of The Bronze Horseman, Seldom Come By, named after an actual place in Newfoundland, is an unforgettable journey across waves and time and the full spectrum of human emotions. "Seldom Come By is a haunting love story set against the windswept coast of Newfoundland. The story draws you in from the opening lines and takes you on a compelling journey across time and continents, through love, loss, heartache and healing. It is a beautiful and memorable story - a great accomplishment and a wonderful read." Julie Fison, author of teenage romances in the Hardie Grant 'Smitten' series "I read the first chapter of Seldom Come By in the Romance Writers of Australia's Ripping Start Competition and was immediately taken in by the beautiful descriptions, world building and the unique and soulful characterisation. And now that I've had the opportunity to read it all, I can say the whole book is wonderful, a real pleasure to read. The quality of writing is excellent and the story atmospheric and intriguing. Brilliant, absolutely beautiful." Babette Furster, Romance Writers of Australia, Ripping Start Judge 2013 "Great job on creating that 'fogged-in' atmosphere that Newfoundland is famous for. I have lived that 'fogged-in' feeling many times. The iceberg was an amazing scene to experience. That sense of longing and yearning that followed was palpable. And from there the tension and excitement just grew, with scenes that were wrenching, breathtaking and moving." Leah Sparkes, native Newfoundlander "I loved the style of this book and the blossoming romance between Samuel and Rebecca. Their intense love for each other reminded me of Tatiana and Alexander. This book has a slow build then at a certain point it takes off and it is absolutely gripping. You are on the very edge of you seat. Your mouth is open. I admire Rebecca's strength to prevail through heartache and sadness, tragedy and loss and her toughness as a younger woman living in Newfoundland. Some scenes were particularly moving - tears down my face. This book has it all. I was enthralled. I simply could not put it down " Su Sprott, reader "Set on the edge of Newfoundland, Seldom Come By tells the love story of shipwreck survivor Samuel Dalton and his rescuer, teenage Rebecca Crowe. The author's breathtaking descriptions of sea and landscapes and the historical setting drew me into the first few pages of the book but the relationships between the characters kept me reading. A shocking event that occurred about halfway through the book compelled me to finish the book in only two more sittings. I feel that the book's themes of love, loss, forgiveness and healing would make it a terrific book club pick and lead to great discussions. I look forward to reading the author's next two books in this series." Rochelle Braun, reader
Описание: The collection of poems in this book seeks to give a voice to the emotions and thoughts of children who are often seen but not heard. Their stories are sometimes filled with hopes and fears but also of dreams of a bright future.
