If he knew what is in store for him, he probably wouldn’t go, because before this evening is over that cranky old piano is going to play ‘Those Piano Roll Blues’, with some effects that could happen only in the Twilight Zone. : Synopsis Drama critic Fitzgerald Fortune goes to Throckmorton’s curio shop to buy his young wife Esther a player piano as a birthday present. At the shop, as the hard-bitten and hard-shelled owner plays the piano, he reveals his soft, sentimental side. Fortune notes the piano’s magical properties, which reveal men’s true natures, and purchases it. Later at home, the solemn butler, Marvin, bursts out laughing under the influence of the piano and reveals that he actually enjoys working for Fortune. When Fortune puts on a roll for his wife, she reveals that she detests him for his cruelty to her and the people around him. He then tries it out on one of his wife’s party guests, a jaded playwright , Gregory Walker, who admits to being in love with Fitzgerald’s wife Esther and that they had a tryst while she was on vacation away from Fitzgerald.

Accidental Deaths by Electrocution: Claude Fran ois $9.71 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Claude François (1 February 1939 11 March 1978) was a French pop singer and songwriter. He wrote “Comme d’habitude,” the original version of “My Way.” The son of an Italian (Calabrian) mother and a French father, Claude François was born in Egypt, in the city of Ismailia, where his father, Aimé François, was working as a shipping traffic controller on the Suez Canal. In 1951 the job took the family to the city of Port Tawfik on the Gulf of Suez. François’ mother was very musical and had her son take piano and violin lessons. On his own, the boy learned to play the drums. As a result of the 1956 Suez Crisis, the family returned to live in Monaco, where they struggled financially after François’ father fell ill and could not work. A young François found a job as a bank clerk and at night earned extra money playing drums with an orchestra at the luxury hotels along the French Riviera. With a good but untested nasal singing voice, he was offered a chance to sing at a hotel in the fashionable Mediterranean resort town of Juan-les-Pins. His show was well received and eventually he began to perform at the glamorous night-clubs along the Côte d’Azur. While working the clubs, he met Janet Woolcoot, an English dancer whom he married in 1960. Ambitious, François moved to Paris, where there were many more opportunities to pursue his career. At the time, American Rock and Roll was taking hold in France and he took a job as part of a singing group in order to make a living. With the goal of eventually making it as a solo act, he paid the cost to record a 45rpm. Trying to capitalize on the American dance craze “The Twist”, François recorded a song titled “Nabout Twist” that proved a resounding failure. Undaunted, in 1962

Excerpt: Charles Hardin Holley (September 7, 1936 February 3, 1959) known professionally as Buddy Holly , was an American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll . Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash , Holly is described by critic Bruce Elder as “the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll.” His works and innovations inspired and influenced both his contemporaries and later musicians, notably The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , Don McLean , and Bob Dylan , and exerted a profound influence on popular music . Holly was in the first group of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Holly #13 among “The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time”. Biography Early life Charles Hardin Holley was born in Lubbock , Texas to Lawrence Odell and Ella Pauline (Drake) Holley on Labor Day , 1936. The Holleys were a musical family, and as a boy Holley learned to play piano, guitar, and violin. His singing won him a talent contest at age five. Holly was always called Buddy by his family. In 1949, he made a recording of Hank Snow’s “My Two Timin’ Woman” on a wire recorder “borrowed” by a friend who worked in a music shop, his first known recording. In 1952, he met Bob Montgomery at Hutchinson Junior High School. They shared an interest in music and teamed up as “Buddy and Bob”. Initially influenced by bluegrass music , they sang harmony duets at local clubs and high school talent shows. Hutchinson Junior High School now has a mural honoring him, and Lubbock High School also honors the late musician. Holly sang in the Lubbock High School

Excerpt: The majority of African music relies heavily on the playing of drums. It is also characterized by an intense rhythmic playing style. This style of fast-paced, upbeat rhythmic drum playing can be found in many of the drum playing of tribes all over the continent of Africa . It is especially true of the people and tribes of Western Africa. However, there are music styles that do not rely so heavily of on the use of the drum, such as Township music , which is prevalent in South Africa. The uses of the drum music are not limited to entertainment and dance, however. In many tribes, they serve a purpose to the local community and help in the conduct of daily routines. The beats and sounds of the drum are used in communication, as well as cultural expression .Map of African Ethnic GroupsMany aspects of African drumming, most notably time-keeping, stem from instruments not categorized as membranophones . Items such as shakers made of woven baskets, shakers made of gourds, and rattles along with the standard African double-bell were used to organize a musical event. Each region of Africa developed a different style of double-bell. Made of iron and creating two different tones, double-bells are the time keepers of African drumming.

Albums Produced By Sterling Morrison $9.38 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Loaded is the fourth album by the Velvet Underground, released in September, 1970, one month after Lou Reed had left the band, by Atlantic Records’ subsidiary label, Cotillion. Loaded is a commercial effort aimed at radio play, another step away from the Warhol-influenced days. The album’s title refers to Atlantic’s request that the band produce an album “loaded with hits”. Doug Yule said, “On Loaded there was a big push to produce a hit single, there was that mentality, which one of these is a single, how does it sound when we cut it down to 3½ minutes, so that was a major topic for the group at that point. And I think that the third album to a great extent shows a lot of that in that a lot of those songs were designed as singles and if you listen to them you can hear the derivation, like this is sort of a Phil Spector-ish kind of song, or this is that type of person song.” Reed was critical of the album’s final mix. Reed left the Velvet Underground on August 23, 1970 but Loaded wasn’t released until a month later, in September. After its release, Reed discovered that the album had been re-edited and resequenced without his consent. One of Reed’s sore points resulting from that unauthorized re-editing was that the “heavenly wine and roses” melody was cut out of “Sweet Jane”. In Reed’s later solo performances, he would routinely leave that verse out so that his performance would match the record. However, the post-Reed, Doug Yule-led Velvets performed the song with the verse re-inserted. Reed also felt snubbed by being listed third in the credits on the album; and by the large photo of Yule playing piano; and by all the songwriting credits improperly going to the band, rather than Reed himself. Newer releases have satisfied many of Reed’s con… More:

Excerpt: “Be Chrool to Your Scuel” ” Be Chrool to Your Scuel ” is a song by heavy metal band Twisted Sister . It appeared on their 1985 album Come Out and Play . The song was written by lead singer Dee Snider and featured Alice Cooper on vocals with Snider. Other guest artists on the song included Billy Joel on piano, Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats on guitar and Clarence Clemons of The E Street Band on saxophone. The song and music video met some controversy since it sent a very strong “anti-school” message. Because of this MTV had refused to play the video. The video featured a school with a dark blue/grey interior with nearly all the students portrayed as zombies (guest-starring in the video was special effects artist Tom Savini who had worked on numerous horror movies ). The name is formed by taking part of “cruel ” and switching it with part of “school ” The song was also featured in the 1986 film One Crazy Summer .

It is named after the song by Fats Waller, “Ain’t Misbehavin’” It serves as a tribute to the black musicians of the 1920s and ’30s who were part of the Harlem Renaissance , an era of growing creativity, cultural awareness, and ethnic pride, and takes its title from the 1929 Waller song “Ain’t Misbehavin’ “. It was a time when Manhattan nightclubs like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were the playgrounds of high society and Lenox Avenue dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing . Five performers present an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller’s view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play. Productions Ain’t Misbehavin’ opened in the Manhattan Theatre Club ‘s East 73rd Street cabaret on February 8, 1978 with featured singer Irene Cara . Its reception was such that it was decided to develop it into a full-scale production. After fourteen previews, the Broadway production, directed by Maltby with musical staging and choreography by Arthur Faria, opened on May 9, 1978 at the Longacre Theatre , later moving to the Plymouth

Excerpt: Ben Kweller Ben Kweller (born June 16, 1981, San Francisco , California ) is an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist . Biography Early life Ben Kweller was born in San Francisco, CA in 1981. In 1982, his family relocated to Emory, Texas , where his father, Howard Kweller, became the town’s first doctor. In 1986, the Kwellers moved to a much larger city, Greenville, TX . Kweller was exposed to music at a very early age. Howard taught Ben how to play the drums when he was seven years old. For the next year, the father and son pair would play together almost every night after Howard got home from work. With Howard singing and playing guitar and Ben keeping the beat, the duo would play songs by The Beatles , The Hollies , Jimi Hendrix , and other artists of the 1960s. Howard is also a longtime friend of Nils Lofgren , a neighbor with whom he went to high school. Kweller has mentioned in interviews that meeting Lofgren greatly helped his exposure to music. When Kweller turned eight, someone showed him how to play “Heart and Soul” on the piano and the youngster immediately began to create his own songs using the same chords. He still uses the same technique to write his songs today. By the time he was nine he had a dozen original compositions under his belt and entered a songwriting contest sponsored by Billboard magazine magazine . Kweller won an honorable mention. Adult Years Kweller married his girlfriend Liz (the subject of the song “Lizzy”) and they have two sons, named Dorian Zev Kweller, born in May 2006, and Judah Evan Kweller, born
