Mail Order Music: the Hinners Organ Company in the Dakotas, 1879-1936
Date: August 1997
Creator: Alcorn-Oppedahl, Allison A. (Allison Ann)
Description: Founded in 1879 by John L. Hinners, the Hinners Organ Company developed a number of stock models of small mechanical-action instruments that were advertised throughout the Midwest. Operating without outside salesmen, the company was one of the first to conduct all of its affairs by mail, including the financial arrangements, selection of the basic design, and custom alterations where required. Buyers first met a company representative when he arrived by train to set up the crated instrument that had been shipped ahead of him. Tracker organs with hand-operated bellows were easily repaired by local craftsmen, and were suited to an area that, for the most part, lacked electricity. In all, the company constructed nearly three thousand pipe organs during its sixty years of operation. Rapid decline of the firm began in the decade prior to 1936 during which the company sold fewer than one hundred instruments, and closed in that year when John's son Arthur found himself without sufficient financial resources to weather the lengthy depression. The studies of the original-condition Hinners organs in the Dakotas include extensive photographs and measurements, and provide an excellent cross section of the smaller instruments produced by the company. They are loud, excellently crafted, ...

A Study of Style and Influence in the Early Schools of Violin Making Circa 1540 to Circa 1800
Date: December 1987
Creator: Alcorn-Oppedahl, Allison A. (Allison Ann)
Description: Chapter I of this thesis details contemporary historical views on the origins of the violin and its terminology. Chapters II through VI study the methodologies of makers from Italy, the Germanic Countries, the Low Countries, France, and England, and highlights the aspects of these methodologies that show influence from one maker to another. Chapter VII deals with matters of imitation, copying, violin forgery and the differences between these categories. Chapter VIII presents a discussion of the manner in which various violin experts identify the maker of a violin. It briefly discusses a new movement that questions the current methods of authentication, proposing that the dual role of "expert/dealer" does not lend itself to sufficient objectivity. The conclusion suggests that dealers, experts, curators, and musicologists alike must return to placing the first emphasis on the tradition of the craft rather than on the individual maker.

Representative Nineteenth-Century Choral Symphonies
Date: December 1971
Creator: Alexander, Metche Franke
Description: This study is concerned with the examination of choral symphonies by major nineteenth-century composers. Its purpose is to delineate the common characteristics which these works have. Emphasis is given to the investigation of the choral elements in the symphonies. Detailed musicological studies of nineteenth-century music are minimal; there has. been a particular lack of interest in nineteenth-century works for chorus. Therefore, the principal sources of data for this study were the full scores of the following nine symphonies: Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Berlioz' Romeo and Juliet and the Funeral and Triumphal Symphony, Mendelssohn's Lobgesang, Liszt's Faust Symphony and Dante Syrmphony, and Mahler's Symphonies Nos. 2., 3, and 8. Other important sources included major biographies of the composers of the symphonies listed. chapter is devoted to each of these composers, subdivided as follows: a general survey of the composer's other works for chorus and/or orchestra; the historical facts connected with the composition and first performance of the individual symphonies; analysis; and conclusions.

Drama and Characterization in Opera Settings of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Britten and Siegmeister
Date: August 1982
Creator: Allen, Debra K. (Debra Kaye)
Description: Although Shakespeare deliberately downplays characterization in his moonlit dream fantasy, both Britten and Siegmeister exploit this dramatic element as the basis of their opera settings of the play. Through the operas, the shallow characters take on new dimensions, creating musical experiences existing quite independently of Shakespeare, while at the same time retaining the atmosphere of a dream-fantasy. Placing emphases upon varying aspects of the play, the two composers create entirely different revelations from the Bard's dream. This paper presents a study of the way in which drama and characterization are treated in the operas, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Night of the Moonspell.

Michael Nyman: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
Date: May 2008
Creator: Avant-Rossi, Joan
Description: Composer Michael Nyman wrote the one-act, minimalist opera The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, based off the neurological case study written by Oliver Sacks under the same title. The opera is about a professional singer and professor whom suffers from visual agnosia. In chapter 1, the plot and history of the opera are discussed. Chapter 2 places The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat alongside a selection of minimalist operas from Philip Glass and John Adams. Chapter 3 contains a history of the Fluxus art movement and shows where Fluxus-like examples appear in the opera. Chapter 4 includes Nyman's usage of minimalism, vocal congruencies, and Robert Schumann as musical elements that convey the drama.

Beyond the Human Voice: Francis Poulenc's Psychological Drama La Voix humaine (1958)
Date: May 2000
Creator: Beard, Cynthia C.
Description: Francis Poulenc's one-character opera La Voix humaine (1958), a setting of the homonymous play by Jean Cocteau, explores the psychological complexities of an unnamed woman as she experiences the end of a romantic relationship. During the forty-minute work, she sings in a declamatory manner into a telephone, which serves as a sign of the unrevealed man at the other end. Poulenc uses musical motives to underscore the woman's changing emotional states as she recalls her past relationship. The musical dramaturgy in this work resignifies Debussy's impressionist symbolism by collapsing devices used in Pelléas et Mélisande in a language that shifts between octatonicism, chromaticism, harmonic and melodic whole tone passages, and diatonicism. This late work recontextualizes elements in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-56), and the end of the opera provides a theme for his Sonate pour Clarinet et Piano(1962), as Poulenc reflects on his youthful encounters with Cocteau, Erik Satie, and Les Six.

Opera at the Threshold of a Revolution: Francis Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-1956)
Date: December 2011
Creator: Beard, Cynthia C.
Description: Francis Poulenc's three-act opera Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-1956) depicts the struggles of the novice nun Blanche de la Force during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. The use of Latin liturgical music at critical points in the opera conveys the ritualistic nature of Catholic worship. The spiritual message of mystical substitution, along with the closely related notion of vicarious suffering, imbue the opera with a spirituality that offers a sharp contrast to earlier operatic settings of Catholic texts, particularly during the age of grand opera. Marian devotion also plays an important role in the opera. The final tableau of the opera stages the execution of Blanche and her sisters, complete with the sound of a guillotine, with the nuns singing the Salve Regina as they proceed to the scaffold. The multivalence of the final tableau highlights the importance of voice and its absence. While the nuns, onstage spectators, and the guillotine are audibly present in the scene, the priest participates solely through gesture. The surfacing of the Lacanian Real in the silent moment of traumatic shock that follows the guillotine's first fall allows for intertextual references to the opera in Poulenc's Sonate pour Flûte et Piano (1957) to ...

Mus. Ms. 1511b: A Historical Review of a Lute Manuscript in the Herwarth Collection at the Bavarian Library, Munich
Date: August 2007
Creator: Beasley, Douglas William
Description: The purpose of this paper is to create a modern transcription/edition and an historical study of Munich Mus. Ms. 1511b thereby helping to define the social and pedagogical ramifications of lute repertoire from the mid-sixteenth-century. Because of the amateurish nature of the compositions, the conclusion of this study is that a member of the Herwarth family probably used the manuscript for learning purposes. Dance, grounds and other related forms found in the manuscript are discussed. Also included is an incipit concordance that can be used as a cross-reference for further research.

Belle Musique and Fin' Amour: Thibaut de Champagne, Gace Brulé, and an Aristocratic Trouvére Tradition
Date: December 2008
Creator: Bly, Emily
Description: Many consider Gace Brulé (c1160-c1213) and Thibaut IV, Count of Champagne, (1201-1253) to have been the greatest trouvères. Writers on this subject have not adequately examined this assumption, having focused their energies on such issues as tracking melodic variants of individual works as preserved in different song-books (or chansonniers), the interpretation of rhythm in performance, and creation of modern editions of these songs. This thesis examines the esteem enjoyed by Gace and Thibaut in both medieval and modern times which derives from their exemplarity of, rather than difference from their noble contemporaries.

The Prodromus Musicalis of Sébastian de Brossard
Date: May 1973
Creator: Bolton, Thomas W. (Thomas Wayne)
Description: Sebastien de Brossard (1655-1730) was a French priest, a zealous collector and historian, a musician of merit, and the author of one of the first dictionaries of musical terminology, the Dictionnaire de musigue of 1703. Largely self-taught in music, Brossard studied theology and philosophy at Caen. He was appointed curate at Strasbourg A in 1687 and maitre de musique in 1689. In 1698 he was made grand chapelain and mattre de musique at Meaux, where he remained until his death. His complete works and immense personal library are contained in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The first edition of Brossard's solo motets was published in 1695 under the title Elevations et motets a voix seule, avec la basse continue. The title Prodromus Musicalis was used for the second edition, published in 1702, and may be loosely translated "Musical Forerunner" or "Musical Prelude." The motets contain a vocal line with text and a figured bass. The present edition presents a faithful rendering of the figured bass and was prepared from a second edition copy contained in the North Texas State University Music Library. In order to enhance the performance and understanding of the eight motets, much of the prefatory material included ...

"Marvelous Accidents": The Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra of John Cage
Date: December 1999
Creator: Boutwell, Brett N.
Description: John Cages Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra (1950-51) holds a unique position within the composers oeuvre as the first work based in part on chance-derived compositional procedures. Cage entered into such practice gradually, incrementally abandoning subjective taste and personal expression through the course of the work. Drawing from the philosophical framework provided by Cages "Lecture on Nothing" (1950) and "Lecture on Something" (c. 1951-52), this thesis explores the aesthetic foundations of the concerto and examines Cages compositional methodology throughout its three movements. Special attention is paid to the procedure underlying the first movement, whose analysis is based largely on the composers manuscript materials for the work.

Transcendentalism and Intertextuality in Charles Ives's War Songs of 1917
Date: December 1998
Creator: Brandt, R. Lynne (Rebecca Lynne)
Description: This thesis examines a collection of three songs, "In Flanders Fields," "He Is There!," and "Tom Sails Away," written by Charles Ives in 1917, from primarily a literary perspective involving Transcendentalism and intertextuality. Ives's aesthetic builds upon the principles of Transcendentalism. I examine these songs using the principles outlined by the nineteenth-century Transcendentalists, and Ives's interpretations of these beliefs. Another characteristic of Ives's music is quotation. "Intertextuality" describes an interdependence of literary texts through quotation. I also examine these songs using the principles of intertextuality and Ives's uses of intertextual elements. Familiarity with the primary sources Ives quotes and the texts they suggest adds new meaning to his works. Transcendentalism and intertextuality create a greater understanding of Ives's conflicting views of the morality of war.

The Chevalier de Saint-Georges: An Exponent of the Parisian Symphonie Concertant
Date: August 1982
Creator: Braun, Melanie
Description: The symphonie concertante, a product of the late eighteenth-century Parisian concert societies, provided a vehicle for display of the virtuoso style sought by contemporary audiences. The works of the Chevalier Joseph Boulogne de Saint-Georges, one of its chief exponents, served as strong influences on the development of the form and its diffusion throughout Europe. The symphonies concertantes of Opus VI, No. 1 and Opus X, No. 2 (according to thematic numbering of Barry S. Brook) date from ca. 1775 and 1779 respectively. A complete set of parts for each is to be found in the private collection of M. Andre Meyer in Paris (Opus VI) and in the Universitetsbiblioteket at Lund (Opus X). The thesis contains background material on contemporary Parisian musical society and the life of Saint- Georges, and a modern scoring of the above symphonies concertantes with analysis and conclusions.

"Sounds for Adventurous Listeners": Willis Conover, the Voice of America, and the International Reception of Avant-garde Jazz in the 1960S
Date: August 2012
Creator: Breckenridge, Mark A.
Description: In "Sounds for Adventurous Listeners," I argue that Conover's role in the dissemination of jazz through the Music USA Jazz Hour was more influential on an educational level than what literature on Conover currently provides. Chapter 2 begins with an examination of current studies regarding the role of jazz in Cold War diplomacy, the sociopolitical implications of avant-garde jazz and race, the convergence of fandom and propaganda, the promoter as facilitator of musical trends, and the influence of international radio during the Cold War. In chapter 3 I introduce the Friends of Music USA Newsletter and explain its function as a record of overseas jazz reception and a document that cohered a global network of fans. I then focus on avant-garde debates of the 1960s and discuss Conover's role overseas and in the United States. Chapter 4 engages social purpose and jazz criticism in the 1960s. I discuss Conover's philosophy on social responsibility, and how his contributions intersected with other relevant discourses on race on the eve of the civil rights movement. I argue that Conover embodied two personas: one as jazz critic and promoter in the United States, and the other as an international intermediary. In chapter 5 I ...

The Waning of Victorian Imperialism: Stylistic Dualism in Gustav Holst's One-Act Opera Sāvitri (1908-9)
Date: May 2005
Creator: Broughton, Joseph Earl
Description: Gustav Holst's one-act opera Sāvitri (1908-9) represents a turning point in his compositional style, which came at a significant time in British history. Holst combines a simpler style informed by his work with English folksong with the Wagnerian style that permeated his earlier compositions. Although influenced by a British imperialist view of the world, Sāvitri renders Hindu-Indian culture in positive terms without relying on the purely exotic, offers a perspective on gender relationships that does not depend solely on convention, and presents the commoner as the British ideal rather than romanticizing the aristocracy. The result is an opera subtle in its complexity, approaching the profound themes of love, death, and spirituality with emotional restraint and self-control.

Opera and the Galant Homme: Quinault and Lully's Tragedie en musique, Atys, in the Context of Seventeenth-Century Modernism
Date: May 1994
Creator: Browne, Marilyn K. (Marilyn Kay)
Description: The tragedie en musique of Quinault and Lully was a highly successful new genre, representative of contemporary Parisian life. However, it is still largely viewed in the negative terms of its detractors, the proponents of classical tragedy. The purpose of this study is to redefine the tragedie en musique in terms of seventeenth-century modernism. An examination of the society and poetry of the contemporary gallant world provides the historical framework for an analysis of both the libretto and music of Quinault and Lully's Atys (1676). This study attempts to bridge the historical and cultural distances that until now have hindered accessibility to this major new genre in seventeenth-century literature and music.

Accessibility and Authenticity in Julia Smith's Cynthia Parker
Date: December 2007
Creator: Buehner, Katie R.
Description: In 1939, composer Julia Smith's first opera Cynthia Parker dramatized the story of a Texas legend. Smith manipulated music, text, and visual images to make the opera accessible for the audience in accordance with compositional and institutional practices in American opera of the 1930s. Transparent musical themes and common Native Americans stereotypes are used to define characters. Folk music is presented as diegetic, creating a sense of authenticity that places the audience into the opera's Western setting. The opera is codified for the audience using popular idioms, resulting in initial but not lasting success.

Finding the "Indian" in Amy Beach's Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet, op. 80.
Date: December 2007
Creator: Burgess, Stephanie J.
Description: Music that is categorized as part of the Indianist movement in American music (ca. 1890-1925) typically evokes Native American culture, ritual, story, or song through compositional gestures. It may also incorporate Native American tunes. Amy Beach (1867-1944) is considered to have composed five Indianist works, but her Theme and Variations for Flute and String Quartet, op. 80 has not been included as one of them. This thesis rethinks categorization of the piece, seeking the "Indian" in it through examination of its gestures, instrumentation, and relationship to contemporary Indianist compositions.

The Famous Mr. Keach: Benjamin Keach and His Influence on Congregational Singing in Seventeenth Century England
Date: August 1984
Creator: Carnes, James Patrick
Description: Benjamin Keach (1640-1704) was a seventeenth-century preacher and hymn writer. He is considered responsible for the introduction and continued use of hymns, as distinct from psalms and paraphrases, in the English Nonconformist churches in the late seventeenth century, and is remembered as the provider of a well-rounded body of hymns for congregational worship. This thesis reviews the historical climate of seventeenth-century England, and discusses Keach's life in terms of that background. Keach's influence on congregational hymn singing, hymn writers, preaching, and education is also examined. Keach's writings and contributions to hymn singing are little known today. This thesis points out the significance of these writings and hymns to seventeenth-century religious life.

Johann Anton Kobrich's Wohlgeübter Organist
Date: May 1982
Creator: Carnes, Nancy Warlick
Description: Johann Anton Kobrich (1714-1791) was the priest and organist of the parish church of Landsberg am Lech in upper Bavaria from 1730 until his death. A prolific composer, Kobrich wrote several works for organ, including the Wohlgeubter Organist (1762), a three-part collection of preludes, fugues, and toccatas. The major portion of this thesis consists of an edition of twenty-six selected pieces from the original fifty-eight in this collection. Also included are a bibliography of Kobrich, a discussion of his significance among other contemporary composers, and a survey of the organs and organ music of eighteenth-century southern Germany. In addition, there is an analysis of the Wohlgeubter Organist and a commentary on its significance.

The Recorder Tutors in 't Uitnement Kabinet
Date: August 2005
Creator: Carpenter, Jennifer
Description: Paulus Matthysz, a prominent music printer in Amsterdam during the seventeenth century, published Jacob van Eyck's Der Fluyten Lust-hof and a collection entitled 't Uitnement Kabinet. Three extant copies of Lust-hof include a tutor Vertoninge...op de Handt-fluit, presumably by Matthysz, and a tutor by Gerband van Blanckenburgh, Onderwyzinge...op deHandt-Fluyt. Their content is not correlated with Lust-hof, and they were presumably designed for inclusion in the Kabinet II. Confusion over the tutors' conception has led to published misinformation jeopardizing their historical worth. The casual generalizations regarding the two tutors can be refuted by reestablishing the interrelationship between the tutors and the two collections. This paper employs a comprehensive study into their origins in order to rectify how the tutors are referenced in the twenty-first century.

The Most Expressionist of All the Arts: Programs, Politics, and Performance in Critical Discourse about Music and Expressionism, c. 1918-1923
Date: August 2016
Creator: Carrasco, Clare
Description: This dissertation investigates how German-language critics articulated and publicly negotiated ideas about music and expressionism in the first five years after World War I. A close reading of largely unexplored primary sources reveals that "musical expressionism" was originally conceived as an intrinsically musical matter rather than as a stylistic analog to expressionism in other art forms, and thus as especially relevant to purely instrumental rather than vocal and stage genres. By focusing on critical reception of an unlikely group of instrumental chamber works, I elucidate how the acts of performing, listening to, and evaluating "expressionist" music were enmeshed in the complexities of a politicized public concert life in the immediate postwar period. The opening chapters establish broad music-aesthetic and sociopolitical contexts for critics' postwar discussions of "musical expressionism." After the first, introductory chapter, Chapter 2 traces how art and literary critics came to position music as the most expressionist of the arts based on nineteenth-century ideas about the apparently unique ontology of music. Chapter 3 considers how this conception of expressionism led progressive-minded music critics to interpret expressionist music as the next step in the historical development of absolute music. These critics strategically—and controversially—portrayed Schoenberg's "atonal" polyphony as a legitimate ...

The Sonatas of Domenico Gabrielli (1651-1690) in San Petronio MSS G.I: 3-9
Date: December 1986
Creator: Chang, Sangtae
Description: Domenico Gabrielli's seven trumpet sonatas are among seventeenth-century trumpet repertoire predominant in the instrumental tradition of the basilica San Petronio, which flourished roughly from the election of Maurizio Cazzati as maestro di cappella in 1657 until the dissolution of the orchestra of the church in 1695. Fostered by numerous occasions for performance, the Bolognese trumpet works tend to exhibit a uniform musical style imposed by musical academies. After a discussion of the probable cause of the termination of the instrumental tradition and of the role of musical academies, this paper will be primarily concerned with formal aspects of fast movements of Gabrielli's sonatas. Despite the fact that the predominant organizing principle of the fast movements appears to be textural, a step toward ritornello form is taken in some of the movements, in which tutti and solo sections are independently developed. In particular, the recurrence of identical material in tutti confirming different keys, the thematic relation between tutti and solo, and the symmetrical and balanced tonal plan are unmistakable seeds of full ritornello form. The text is followed by critical notes and transcriptions of the seven sonatas.

Bernard Stollman, founder of the influential, otherworldly ESP-Disk label, has passed away this week at 85. New York Times obituary. The independent label was home to blazing, provocative recordings from avant-jazz greats like Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, and Sun Ra, as well as underground rock outsiders like the Godz, the Holy Modal Rounders, and the Fugs. The label's discography is deep, strange, and still largely unexplored by everyone but hardcore music geeks (who tend to be highly passionate about it).

Despite a certain self-consciousness in presentation, which clearly aims at winning over a recalcitrant audience, some of the best jazz ever recorded on film is available here. After an opening montage devoted to Manhattan jazz clubs accompanied by the narrator's patter ("This is my beat — the jazz beat"), one is introduced to the 'cigarette girl' and 'doorman' at the "After Hours Club," complete with fictional glosses (the girl is an "aspiring actress").

Scaled in Miles
Scaled in Miles is an interactive visualization that "... is a look at the history of Miles Davis' career and collaborations according to his recording sessions as documented by the Jazz Discography Project. Over four hundred recording sessions are shown in a timeline across the middle of the screen. The circles above it represent the nearly six hundred people who played those sessions; larger circles indicate more sessions with Miles. Scrub and click over the timeline to highlight the people who played with Miles on each date. You can also find specific artists and highlight their sessions by clicking on the circles, or by entering different names in the search box.

My basic beef with Kind of Blue
and yet it has somehow become the stand-alone representative of the form it is on the whole sardonically setting itself against: something about the way it's been made — its constituent parts, its presentation — exactly and completely masks this subtly hostile aspect of it, to the extent that it's instead become a kind of nice-to-hear-in-the-background chill-out classic, which in my opinion suggests a flaw in its conception or execution: that it can't (or anyway doesn't) draw the newbie into its darker heartKIND OF BLEUGH, or seven better stand-alone ways into jazz in the early age of the long-playing disc (possibly).
Lulu's Back In Town
Harry Warren and Al Dubin wrote it for the smooth harmonies of the Mills Brothers in the 1935 film Broadway Gondolier. Fats Waller popularized it with more spark and swing soon after, and Art Tatum performed a blistering yet tuneful version that same year. Young heartthrob Frank Sinatra crooned it in 1945, and 11 years later Mel Tormé crooned it some more. Thelonious Monk had a humorous take on it in 1964, while 1968 saw two wildly different versions from Oscar Peterson and an actual Lulu. Need more? Here's The Four Freshmen, Leon Redbone, and Ellis and Branford Marsalis. TV loves Lulu too! Sanford and Song on Sanford and Son, and Circe on the Justice League (voiced by Broadway singer Rachel York). But here's what happens when Lulu's back on Sesame Street.

Bonobo, inspired by beautiful hip-hop, London scenes, and a tumble dryer
From the rather common "skate punk into alternative music" origins to a bedroom producer who signed with Ninja Tune, Bonobo, the stage name for Simon Green, has continued to change musically. From the lone musician who made sample-based music, he has expanded into working with field recordings, studio musicians, and live shows where the band took a four bar drum break transformed it into a seven minute epic drum-sax solo battle, to which the crowd tried to clap along. You can see him live tomorrow at the Alexandra Palace in London in a special Boiler Room session, but until then, there's plenty more to see, hear and read. [more inside]
Bitches Brew wus robbed
Ranking a catalog the size of Miles Davis' is an impossible task. There are so many lavish boxed sets, live releases, compilations issued during his hermit period, etc., that in order to make this article at all manageable, major cuts had to be made before it could even be begun. So here's how this is going to work: I chose studio albums only. But to truly understand Davis' catalog, there are a bunch of essential live releases, including Live-Evil, In Concert: Live At Philharmonic Hall, Dark Magus, Agharta, Pangaea, and The Bootleg Series Vol. 1: Live In Europe 1967. So consider the 30 albums below a starting point. There's so much more.For Stereogum, Phil Freeman ranks Miles Davis albums from worst to best.
The story behind an iconic photo of jazz-induced hysteria

The Big 'E'
You can read on Buddy Emmons' Wikipedia page how by the age of 19, he had already mastered and redesigned the pedal steel guitar, slowly turning it into the instrument whose sound we are all familiar with, in one form or another. You can read on his website how his peers revere him, and how he gives back to the community whom he's profoundly influenced. (Or, watch a 100-minute concert and tribute.) But perhaps it's just best to marvel at The Big E as he backs up legends in their own right; on television in 1965; how he destroys the world in a 1970's Redneck Jazz Explosion (with Danny Gatton, previously); in the mid-'80's with the Lawton Jazz Kicks Ensemble; at the 1988 British Steel Guitar convention; at the at the 1997 International Steel Guitar Convention; and in 2007, the year he retired. Or just messin' around with Nashville's top session musicians or reinterpreting the classics. There's also a great AskMe thread of Pedal Steel Guitar recommendations, if you want to hear more.

A little Clump of Soul
Ten years ago today saw the English launch of a quirky Japanese puzzler, a sleeper hit that would go down as one of the most endearing, original, and gleefully weird gaming stories of the 2000s: Katamari Damacy. Its fever-dream plot has the record-scratching, Freddie Mercury-esque King of All Cosmos destroy the stars in a drunken fugue, and you, the diminutive Prince, must restore them with the Katamari -- a magical sticky ball that snowballs through cluttered environments, rolling up paperclips, flowerpots, cows, buses, houses, skyscrapers, and continents into new constellations. It also boasts one of the most infectiously joyous soundtracks of all time -- an eccentric, richly produced, and incredibly catchy blend of funk, salsa, bossa nova, experimental electronica, J-Pop, swing, lounge, bamboo flute, hair metal, buoyant parade music, soaring children's choirs, Macintalk fanfares, and the finest theme song this side of Super Mario Bros. Called a consumerist critique by sculptor-turned-developer Keita Takahashi (who after one sequel moved on to Glitch, the supremely odd Noby Noby Boy, and playground design), the series has inspired much celebration and thought [2, 3] on its way from budget bin to MoMA exhibit.

Those of you here who are jazz fans may have heard a little about Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild. Her nickname "Nica" is enshrined in many a jazz composition's title, for example Nica's Tempo, Nica's Dream, Blues for Nica and, simpy, Nica. She was, as you'd imagine, a devoted lover of jazz, and an inestimably important benefactor, patron and enabler of many of the jazz legends of her time, especially the great Thelonius Monk.

Quincy Jones And Bill Cosby: The Original Jam Sessions, and remixes
Later this year will mark the 45th anniversary of Bill Cosby's first self-titled sitcom, The Bill Cosby Show. Ten years ago, the original jam sessions were released, which are notable for the "various collection of notables who steal the show with contributions at various points." Pianist Les McCann, sax man Ernie Watts, and guitarist Arthur Adams get things going on "Groovy Gravy," Tom Scott shows some legit chops on "Toe Jam," while Jimmy Smith offers sampling of his Hammond B3 on the interlude "Jimmy Cookin' On Top." If seeing Quincy Jones and Bill Cosby get top billing confused you, the album credits reference their roles, which are not front-and-center, except for some vocal improv by Cosby on "Hikky-Burr." You can hear more tracks on Grooveshark, and if you're into more of that modern dance remixery, you might (also) enjoy The New Mixes, Vol. 1, which can also be sampled on Grooveshark.

Recent Motorcycle Accident questions
hello Law educator,I was alleged mental abuse to my children via text messages. attorneys stipulated agreement, judge ordered me to get 30 days uas bas random 3x wk. get an alchohol eval in addition to a anger eval based on a motorcycle accident 14 years ago. and to do a parenting class as recommend by the therapetic provider. My kids were ordered to get therapy at their school based counselor. A year later now, i have spoken to the childrens therapist and got their medical records. Therapist indicated that kids denied any mental abuse or SI or HI. records show both my kids had a hard time not spending time with me and daughter having issues with mother and school, peers bullying and running away from home. Mother took them out of therapy once she learned i have obtained medical records. records clearly state that my daughter needed to continue therapy for high depression but states that mother took them out because i obtain those records.Now i have gotten a 2nd evaluation for my alcohol and anger, they say i dont need any treatment but their wording is contradicting. The question is do i need this evals to file my motion to re instate my parenting plan, will the judge question me. Also why are they using a motorcycle accident over 14 years ago against me, isnt there a statue of limitations?I see this as parental alienation from mother, she has brained washed my daughter.

Doctoral Degree
My husband and I were in a motorcycle accident. 2 cars in front of us applied brakes suddenly at 45 mph and we ended up laying the motorcycle down so there are no other insurance involved but ours. I was immediately hurt and went to the emergency room where they just did an xray and sent me to an orthopedic specialist recommended by them. I started physical therapy to even be able to bend my right leg which took a few weeks. My leg was so bad at first that the other pains I just didn't think about. My shoulder kept hurting and got worse and then we found out I had a partial tear of my rotator cuff. (In the mri we also found that I had a bone spur, but I had not had the pain until accident.) The original specialist was not very responsive so I had my family Dr send me to another Dr. I have spent about 3 months in therapy, have had my life limited in what I can do and am about to have surgery for the rotator cuff tear to clean it up. (They will also shave bone spur) My knee the 2nd Dr tells me has bursitis from the impact of the accident damaging my Bursa. This will most likely always cause me problems as will the shoulder.. I cannot put direct pressure on my knee without pain, so I cannot kneel on it. My own insurance company has a $30,000 limit on the injury. I don't know what is reasonable and they aren't playing nice. Hiring an attorney for that small of amount seems a little to much. I feel $30,000 is reasonable for having to live with this the rest of my life and having limitations. I have paid all of my copays to this point also. I just need advice on what my next step should be.
Four years ago I was in a motorcycle accident due to blatant road construction issues. Three of ten bikes went down, two of us were hospitalized, the other guy settled with the insurance company several years ago. My injuries are as follows: All ribs broken left side, ruptured spleen, broken knee cap, torn rotator cuff, neck and back fusion due to ruptured discs. My atty says liability is solid, and we have two expert doctors as witnesses saying my injuries are tied directly to this wreck. I am going in for my 6th surgery in three weeks. Prior to this surgery my medical bills are at 637k. This surgery will bring my bills to close to 1M. With a solid case like this (according to my atty) who has handled from the beginning, what should settlement range be? I am self employed and still able to work, but with great difficulty. Policy limits are 10M, Company can settle up to 2M without over-insurer involvement, first 1M is company paid.
Do I have a case? I got in a motorcycle accident in 2009, injured my rt knee. Couln't walk on it. Went to the ER, no images or exams done.I was told it was a sprain. Followed up with my dr next day. He didnt do anything either. Not even try to move it. Asked what the er said and then repeated the same thing back to me. I made another appt and brought my sis who was studing to be a nurse. She argued with my dr trying to get some images done. Still no. Changed dr's. Explained about my knee still causing pain. 2012 sent me to get a x ray and cortisone shot. Xray came out good. Wasnt told about cortisone shot so I refused, still didnt kno what was wrong with my knee. Nov 2014, knee is painful and swollen. Out of work since then. Given home excercises for 2 months and xrays. Xrays were good. Dec still not better, ultra sound looks good. Jan 13 sent for mri, finally!!! Today get results....."cartilage is completely broke off in several places right where weight is put through the bone, need complex surgeries, very likely going to be problematic for you". I am an oil worker, so this might affect my livelihood. Please advise.

4 yrs ago I was coming out of my gated subdivision and making a right turn out into a busy***** I had a stop sign and bicyclist ran his because he was looking down, had iPod on and dark sunglasses. I saw him and abruptly stopped but he tried to slow down with his foot to brake and ended up at my front grill holding himself up. I had completely stopped before he passed in front of me. Joggers, walker and bicyclists do this all day everyday at this same crossway in front of my subdivision. He refused help, ambulance 911 etc. He said he was fine and just wanted to get to work because he was on his lunch break and exercising his leg because the previous yr he had a motorcycle accident. Long story short he decided then to call for what he says is medical insurance and proceeds to call 911 but doesn't want to go to hospital. The police take him home and several months later I get a lawsuit from an attorney in a personal injury firm that cranks out suits all day long. I find out the bicyclist has a history of 7 arrests including reckless driving, controlled substance etc. Never convicted and all thrown out of court. His father seems to know people. There have been a lot of bicyclists death around the city so he is after money. I was going maybe 5 miles and hour and abruptly stopped before her crossed going across. The sidewalk crosses really close to the driveway and is also very close to the highway traffic. He has made up this story that I hit him and threw him into the street. My attorney took his deposition 2 months ago and said he rambled like crazy and was say it was his wrist that was hurt. I have never been sued and I am very upset with all this. It has taken 4 yrs for the out of town attorney to travel here. They come off and on to crank out cases. They have asked me maybe 3 times to be deposed and I couldn't due to the fact that I was out of town. Next week I m being deposed and I am very upset that I am drug through this. I don't want to go to trial. Is that the next step after i am deposed and they try to run me over the coals and make me feel say something to make it look like it was my fault? They did not request a video just a court reporter
being sued by a careless cyclist who ran a stop sign on a bike trail in 2011. I was stopped and he raced right in front of me and claims his wrist is injured. He was out cycling 18 miles two days later, the yr before, he was arrested for DWI controlled substance and Marijuana. He got all dismissed with no punishment. His father is well known and money. Arrested two other times in 2001 and 2004 for recklace driving and DWI. When deposed my lawyer asked him about his arrests and my question is why can't his arrests be brought up in my case?
I was in a motorcycle accident. My motorcycle insurance policy does not have personal injury protection. It does have uninsured motorist. My health insurance through my employer has paid for all medical treatment. Is it right for me to use the uninsured motorist monies available to recoup the deductibles and copays my medical insurance did not pay for as well as a pain and suffering amount? Or should the uninsured motorist coverage been used first instead of my medical insurance?
Attorney at Law
per injury via motorcycle accident, do police test blood alcohol in injured person when unconsciously taken to the hospital?
Litigation Attorney
This question is for an attorney in accident cases. My 75 yr old husband was injured in a motorcycle accident. He has five broken ribs, a broken left humerus at the shoulder joint, left wrist is broken in three places, shattered left tibia and shattered left fibula at the ankle. He had surgery to fix the leg with plates and screws. He will have only 60-75% left ankle function. He might need a second surgery on that ankle. He had two heart attacks in the hospital after the surgery that doctor's said was due to stress on the heart from blood loss. A blood transfusion was done. The echogram following the second heart attack showed minor heart damage. A follow up angiogram revealed he also had a major blockage in a coronary artery so a heart cath was done and he now has two stents in one coronary artery. The accident was 100% the fault of the other driver. There were witnesses. She pulled out in front of him from a private drive. My husband was going less than the posted limit according to witnesses. She admitted fault at the scene of the accident. She was cited. The accident was in Michigan ( a no fault state). My husband is an Ohio resident. Both have the same insurance company (Progressive). My husband had liability only and collision damage for the bike ( a vintage 1974 Norton Commando 800). Our Humana Medicare Advantage policy is covering the medical bills. They are huge!!!! I'm not talking to the insurance adjuster because I'm afraid I don't know which party he's representing the at fault driver or my husband. I haven't even let him see the bike. Friends moved it from the impound lot to a storage locker the day after the accident. I know I need an attorney, but with Michigan's no fault law, can he do anything? My husband was hospitalized 11 days and now is in a nursing home for rehab until he can bear weight on his arms enough to use a walker.
