Let's Do It
Author: Bob Stanley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1639362517
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
The must-read music book of the year—and the first such history bringing together all musical genres to tell the definitive narrative of the birth of Pop—from 1900 to the mid-1950s. Pop music didn't begin with the Beatles in 1963, or with Elvis in 1956, or even with the first seven-inch singles in 1949. There was a pre-history that went back to the first recorded music, right back to the turn of the century. Who were these earliest record stars—and were they in any meaningful way "pop stars"? Who was George Gershwin writing songs for? Why did swing, the hit sound for a decade or more, become almost invisible after World War II? The prequel to Bob Stanley’s celebrated Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!, this new volume is the first book to tell the definitive story of the birth of pop, from the invention of the 78 rpm record at the end of the nineteenth century to the beginnings of rock and the modern pop age. Covering superstars such as Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra, alongside the unheralded songwriters and arrangers behind some of our most enduring songs, Stanley paints an aural portrait of pop music's formative years in stunning clarity, uncovering the silver threads and golden needles that bind the form together. Bringing the eclectic, evolving world of early pop to life—from ragtime, blues and jazz to Broadway, country, crooning, and beyond—Let's Do It is essential reading for all music lovers. "An encyclopaedic introduction to the fascinating and often forgotten creators of Anglo-American hit music in the first half of the twentieth century."—Neil Tennant (The Pet Shop Boys)

Let's Do Lunch
Author: Hannah Rule
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
Love has a name, and that name is Jesus. Have you ever heard that the world just needs more love and more Jesus? Sounds like a nice sentiment, but how do we actually love like Jesus loved? Let's Do Lunch defines and applies love as seen by one woman's investigation of her late father's ministry in becoming Love. He spent his life becoming Love through action in his short life. Discover how this father loved not only his family well but also all others he came into contact with. He seldom questioned the Master's call on his life and sacrificed much to show teenagers the love of Jesus. His favorite way to connect with and listen to others was over a meal. Being a juvenile probation officer and a youth pastor took up much of his time, but he knew he had to have lunch and used the line, "Let's do lunch," as a way of opening up time in his schedule for someone that needed a listening ear. Let's do lunch was his invitation to those that were lost, confused, or uncertain in their life. It was his gift to those that did not even know they needed someone to listen. It was his calling to give his time and love in a way that most people overlook. The invitation "Let's do lunch" was a ministry for all.

Book Description
"What started out as an essay on my boyhood neighborhood an my life there turned in to a book. My purpose in writing the book was to revisit a few of my experiences there and give the readers of the book a synopsis of my experiences in the U S Navy such as the ceremony observed when crossing the equator which is quite hilarious and centuries old, being observed by men of the sea when sails were the only means of propulsion. the musical portion of my life is also laid out to enjoy as humorous events are reounted. I travel from childhood to the time I became a man and try to entertain the reader with my exploits. I have lived a full life and am not the man I used to be, and the book addreses that nicely. I give it all, a comp- osite look at a life full of both good times and sad times. I wrote the book on th light side so that it would have appeal to all readers . As we age , we evolve and look at life anew every day. I wouldn't change a thing if I were chosen to do it all again. I hope the readers enjoy the adventure as as much as I did." Richard (Digger)Vogt
