Woodstock FAQ
Author: Thomas E. Harkins
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 149305080X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Thomas Edward Harkin's Woodstock FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Fabled Garden cuts through the lofty rhetoric and mythology surrounding the legendary festival. Rather than waxing philosophical about whether or not the Woodstock Music & Art Fair was the defining moment of the 1960s as so many have done before, Harkins places the focus on the music, solo artists, and bands who performed. Thirty-two acts took to the stage in Bethel, New York that weekend, and the book gives the performers and the music their due consideration. Who were they? Where did they come from? What songs did they play? What happened to them afterward? How did the festival impact their careers? Those are the questions explored in these pages. Further, the book attempts to restore the chronological arc of the festival from concept to concert to its aftermath and enduring legacy. Drawing on his experiences as a media scholar, Harkins ponders how the album releases and Michael Wadleigh's Academy Award-winning 1970 film Woodstock helped shape the narrative of the festival and in the bargain distort people's memories of the actual event.

Book Description
April 5, 1874 Jeremiah Bradley O'Shea, JB to all his friends, is leaving his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and headed west. He is leaving the only home he has ever known but even more he is hoping to leave behind the person he has become. He begins his quest, a baptism of sorts to begin a new life. His plan is to first find his brother and his family somewhere in the Wyoming Territory. There, he hopes to begin his own dream of owning a cattle ranch and rediscover the person he was before the Civil War. Before all of the killing, the death and destruction the war brought with it. During his trek JB quickly discovers things, much like in the past, are still the same where he is headed. Just like before, bad may not always be bad and what appears to be good most certainly is not always good. He continues to trust his instinct as he did in the war, maybe even more on this journey. Truly believing at the end of his quest he finds what his soul most desires, peace. Peace in knowing he has given everything he had to give. Not realizing how high the price would actually be. "Welcome, Tom Keilholtz, into the pantheon of great western writers. SOMEWHERE is an engaging, heartfelt road trip circa 1874 with a cast of unforgettable characters, including JB, a great leading man taking us on this scenic adventure into the West. Like the outdoorsman author, JB owns the ground he walks on here, and authenticity resonates on every page." - Robert Knott (Author of Revelation)

Whole Music
Author: Lois Blackburn
Publisher: Heinemann Drama
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Whole Musicoffers a fervent message to elementary teachers - that music can be integrated into their classrooms and that it can be done applying the principles of whole language. Music is fertile ground for creating classroom activities based on the individual whole child, home, community, and other environmental and cultural influences. And music is best explored using the child's whole body rather than just eyes, ears, and writing hand. Blackburn writes this book from a unique position as a musician with a profound interest in the psycholinguistics of reading. Her goal is to propose whole music as an instrument to transform music instruction in the way that whole language has transformed other subject areas. Along with descriptions of whole music, her book includes examples and practical activities. Many books have been designed as compendiums of activities and exhaustive collections of children's songs and games. Whole Music, instead, introduces a point of view. The illustrative materials are intended as examples of the whole music process: patterns from which teachers may in turn create their own songs and activities. There is something in this book to guide nearly every teacher in exploring music at some level and in some context. For regular classroom teachers, these adventures may be used as focused lessons, as enrichment for other subject area units or as "fillers" for the nightmare times when the lesson plan runs out. For music educators, the materials may be used individually to examine specific skills or as a complete developmental sequence and curriculum outline, in the order presented in the text.
