BARTOW | There was no honeymoon for Chip Brown when he accepted the offer to become the executive director of Heartland Crimestoppers last year.

Facts Alfred Glenn Brown Jr.

Age: 58Born: Sept. 15, 1953, Tampa.Job: Heartland Crimestoppers executive director.Salary: $30,000.Education: Lakeland High School, graduated 1971, University of South Florida, bachelor’s degree in criminology.Family: Wife, Donna; son, Austin; stepdaughter, KirstenHobbies: motorcycles, camping.Favorite music: Jazz.Favorite food: Southern cooking, fried chicken, rice, black-eyes peas and potatoes.

The board that hired him in September demanded swift action. The organization was facing a series of audits prompted by an investigation by The Ledger and was still reeling from missteps made under its former director, Wayne Cross.

Add to that a criminal investigation into the matter began in July and it continues.

Accountability, transparency, prompt reports and implementing a road map for reformed policy were just some of Brown’s immediate goals.

“There was a huge learning curve,” Brown, 58, said laughing. “I was at a disadvantage. The State Attorney’s Office was still reviewing files that I needed. The Attorney General’s Office was changing the way it administered the grant. There was still a lot of getting up to speed. But I really like it.”

Brown, a former Lakeland police captain, has been working constantly with the 12-member board to get the organization back on track and focusing on its main purpose — helping law enforcement put criminals in jail.

“It’s enjoyable to get back into it,” Brown said of being around law enforcement again. “It’s good to be back.”

Alfred Glenn “Chip” Brown Jr. was born Sept. 15, 1953, to A. Glenn and Lorelei Brown.

Brown’s father, a Tampa-based salesman for IBM, quickly moved his family back to their homestead in Lakeland, where he spent his childhood growing up near Lake Parker.

In those days, Lakeland was still a rural town.

There was no mall, U.S. 98 North was a two-lane road and you didn’t lock your doors at night, he said.

“It was really a great time to be a kid,” he said.

Brown grew up in a musically gifted family.

His twin brothers, Lawrence and Lowell, both played instruments and later became music teachers. His father loved music and his mother also played piano and organ in their church.

Brown was a fidgety child and would often be forced to sit on the organ bench as his mother played during Sunday services, he said. There his love for music grew.

“It’s kind of in the blood,” he said.

Brown’s love was found in the French horn, which he played in the Lakeland High School marching band. That later helped pay his way through the first two years of college.

Brown didn’t expect to become a police officer.

His initial plans out of high school had him going to the University of Southern Mississippi to play the French horn on a scholarship.

While it paid for his first two years of school, it wasn’t what he wanted.

Brown left the university and his musical ambitions to attend the University of South Florida, where he studied business and finance.

He quickly learned that the math involved wasn’t for him. Frustrated, he nearly dropped out of college.

“I just got tired of the school thing,” he said.

That was until he talked to his father, who helped him change his mind.

Brown had enjoyed a business law class and soon began looking at the required classes for a degree in criminology. Law enforcement seemed like an option, but the personal risk involved in those days was great.

There were no bullet proof vests, radio communication was limited and an officer’s weapon was a “pea-shooter,” a .38-caliber revolver with no speed loader.

“So I thought I’d be a state trooper,” he said laughing. “That seemed less dangerous.”

In those days, Brown chuckled, he was naive.

Following his studies, Brown took what he thought would be a temporary internship with the Lakeland Police Department. That was 1974.

“That’s when they had just started (reading the) Miranda rights,” he said. “All the old guys around there thought that would be the end of law enforcement. No one would talk to us. But that didn’t happen.”

It was one of many changes Brown would see during his next 29 years with the department.

“One thing I have learned is that nothing ever stays constant,” he said.

Brown had a distinguished career at LPD, climbing the ranks quickly.

He served on the department’s first SWAT unit. But in those days it was called STAT, short for special tactical alert team.

Brown was promoted to sergeant after about five years, worked in crime prevention, narcotics and vice and on street patrol.

He didn’t like the undercover bit, the mentality of it wasn’t something he enjoyed, he said.

As a lieutenant, Brown oversaw the department’s special operations, which included the traffic unit and other administrative duties. He also helped on special projects and aided in the filming of movies like “China Moon,” “My Girl” and “Edward Scissorhands.”

Brown was promoted to captain, and said he never aspired to be chief. Oddly, he said, that was a question he had been asked in his first job interview with the department.

“They asked me one of those questions like, where do you see yourself going in your career,” Brown recalled. “I said, ‘I see myself retiring as a captain.’ Boy was that not eerie?”

Assistant Chief Larry Giddens said Brown was the second person he talked to about joining the department in 1984.

Giddens, then 20 years old, first talked to LPD’s Harry Katt, who told him to see Brown.

“He was a good guy,” Giddens said. “He always had a professional demeanor and was helpful.”

Giddens worked for Brown several times when Brown was both a lieutenant and a captain.

And in those years, Giddens remembered that even as a higher-ranking officer, Brown went into the field with officers who were chasing suspects, which was a bit unusual.

In one chase through the Washington Park neighborhood, Giddens remembered Brown chasing a suspect through several properties before being caught off-guard by a clothesline.

It caught Brown across the nose and slammed him back.

When he got up, his nose was cut and Brown’s eyes were black.

While the impact took him out of the chase, other officers caught up with the suspect.

Although unsuccessful in his chase, it earned him respect among officers for being out there.

Brown’s arrival as the new head of Crimestoppers was a bit unexpected, he said.

In the years since his retirement from the LPD in 2003, Brown had worked various jobs to keep busy.

For four years, he worked in various positions with the First Baptist Church at the Mall until he was laid off as the facilities manager in 2008 during the economic downturn.

After that, he got his insurance license, selling supplemental medical policies to retirees in Polk, Hillsborough and Lake counties, but he soon found that unfulfilling.

He also worked at LinCare and Heath Funeral Chapel in Lakeland. Brown continues his work at the funeral home as he is needed.

“Chip has proven to be a great asset to Crimestoppers, bringing ethics to the front lines and open communication with his staff, myself as the county commissioner serving on this board and the general public,” Chairwoman Melony Bell said. “Accountability and responsibility both define the work ethics of Chip, and both of these are vital to any organization.”

Since his arrival last year, Brown has worked with the board to comply with the new demands of the Florida Attorney General’s Office, which administers the organization’s grant money.

Since the fallout of the investigation, which found a lack of many required practices and nepotism, Brown has continued to lead the organization by implementing and using key software to process anonymous tips and forward them to law enforcement.

“We are up to standards now,” he said from his small office at the Central County Jail in Bartow. “When I started in September, the hard work was already done.”

But Bell said Brown’s help has been much needed.

“Chip’s governing ability and his open willingness to work with his board have enhanced the daily operations of Crimestoppers, motivating everyone to work as a team for the common cause,” Bell said. “He is a definitely a ‘roll up your shirtsleeves’ type of person who just gets the job done without a lot of fanfare.”

Although Brown’s peers talk him up, he plays down his accomplishments.

“I’ve been very fortunate wherever I’ve been to have good staff,” he said. “I’ve had a very blessed career.”

Semibrevity · How famous is scholar, conductor and harpsichordist Thurston Dart, 40 years on? Part 2

Posted on by

1329475035 98 Semibrevity · How famous is scholar, conductor and harpsichordist Thurston Dart, 40 years on? Part 2

  • Tweet

With the death of Dart’s close personal friend and executor William Oxenbury, Gustav Leonhardt is now probably the only person alive who knew Dart, but not as a teacher. They were apparently well acquainted and served together on the jury at the harpsichord competition at Bruges. Their approach to Froberger seems quite similar in these recordings of his Lamentation for Ferdinand III, made within a year of each other, in which Dart uses Leonhardt’s favourite instrument: the clavichord. See a review of Dart’s recording here:  Thurston Dart 1961 

Gustav Leonhardt 1962 

Otherwise, their choice of instruments was quite different. Although Dart sometimes used historical instruments, some of which he restored himself, he apparently preferred modern steel-framed “revival” harpsichords.

From 1951 Dart was involved in the annual quadruple-harpsichord jamborees at the Royal Festival Hall with George Malcolm, Eileen Joyce and Denis Vaughan (who was instrumental in the creation of the UK National Lottery) – all playing “whispering giants’” which needed to be amplified to balance with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The conductor was Boris Ord, another unsung early music pioneer.  

 On the appearance in July 1957 of a recording, the Gramophone reviewer enthused as follows:

Those who have enjoyed, year after year, the unique Festival Hall concerts at which Mr. Thomas Goff assembles a resplendent quartet of his inimitable harpsichords, will rejoice that some part of this hardy annual repertoire is at last made available on disc.

Here’s the beginning of Bach’s Concerto for three harpsichords in C major.   Dart continued to play modern-style harpsichords, with pedals and a 16-foot register, up to his last recording, made with Igor Kipnis and issued posthumously in 1972. Here they are in Couperin’s Allemande a deux clavecins (IXe Ordre), in which Dart’s Goff was parried by a Goble of equally gargantuan proportions.  Dart did leave us a recording of some historical organs, however. The 1958 sleeve notes for Two Centuries of English Organ Music state: 

This record contains, it is believed for the first time in the history of the gramophone, a survey of English Organ Music (sic) stretching over 200 years, played on instruments contemporary with the examples selected. No pipework is used that was not part of the original organ…

 I can only imagine that some tracks sounded very out of tune, at the time. Here’s For a Double Organ from Melothesia by Matthew Locke, played on the Renatus Harris organ at St John’s Church, Wolverhampton 

Given his background, it seemed unlikely that Dart would end up as a professor of music, first briefly at Cambridge and then at King’s College, London. He sang a solo, as a boy soprano, on the BBC when he was a Chapel Royal chorister and, from 1938, spent a year at the Royal College of Music on “keyboard instruments” with Arnold Goldsbrough, about whom we also know precious little today. 

Dart then took a Maths degree, and after war service – during which he met Neville Marriner, when they were both patients in a military hospital – continued his musicological studies privately in Brussels, with the erudite and very aged Charles van den Borren (born in 1874), whom he outlived by only five years! Mary Potts told me that he had said that he knew he would die young, and consequently needed to be very productive. And, indeed, aged 49, he died of stomach cancer; midway through a recording of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Sir Neville Marriner reports his demise in the booklet which accompanied the set (see also his extensive personal tribute):

We recorded Brandenburg Concerto No. 3  on January 30, 1971. Bob [Robert Thurston Dart] looked grey and tired. On Monday he did not make the frequent journeys with us to the control room. On Tuesday he had a mattress by the harpsichord so that he could rest between ‘takes’. He played the continuo for the first movements of Concertos 2 and 4, and for the serene Adagio [from a Sonata in G, BWV 1021] used for the slow movement for No. 3. I put him into the car which took him to the clinic at 5.30 P.M. and saw him no more. 

His place in the 5th Brandenburg was taken by George Malcolm and the remaining continuo was split between Raymond Leppard and Colin Tilney (a student of Mary Potts). Although Dart had already recorded this concerto with the Philomusica – complete with a registered crescendo in the first movement cadenza! – it would have been interesting to see how his views had changed, more than 10 years later. 

Although dedicated students organized a reunion, in 2001, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his death; there are no plans currently to write a book about Robert Thurston Dart, as the prime candidate for that job has also died. However, since I started writing these posts, Greg Holt has assembled an online biography from items of “Dartiana” which he inherited, which includes some very interesting details and early photos. 

Reportedly, it was the crumhorn hanging on Dart’s study wall – which formed part of a tantalizing, now dissipated and largely undocumented instrument collection – that inspired David Munrow to explore early wind instruments, and ultimately led to the formation of the Early Music Consort of London. 

Please promote the blog on these social networking sites:

Why do so many competitors have so many conclusions as that touches on concert? EBay concert tickets and event tickets are sold by individual people who purchased them but no longer want them or can not go themselves. If you are looking for something new to do with your landscaping, then try to apply concert lighting outdoors in order to illuminate parts of your yard. I had by no means heard of them until eventually this indicate, and I understood they have been a community band, so I didn't have substantial expectations. Moving to Ann Arbor, he played with the Town Criers before he was the keyboardist and vocalist for Doug Brown & the Omens. No doubt Lambert is living up to the hype with the first shows he has played and jumping right into his glam rock persona.

Emmanuel Episcopal Church celebrating 150 years

1329388628 26 Emmanuel Episcopal Church celebrating 150 yearsBRISTOL, Va. —

From its stately spot at the corner of Cumberland and James streets, Emmanuel Episcopal Church resembles a silent, stone sentinel overlooking the Twin City’s downtown commercial area.

With its British-inspired architecture, Emmanuel opens its trademark red doors every week just as it has for the past 150 years. This Sunday, the congregation invites the general public to help celebrate the landmark anniversary. Special services are scheduled at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. — featuring the church choir and a brass ensemble — while a birthday party featuring cupcakes, balloons and storytelling is set for 9:15 a.m., Senior Warden Lee Vaughn said.

“It’s been a wild ride,” he said. “We’ve had some very interesting ministers or rectors — priests in residence at an Episcopal church — we’ve fought the Civil War at least 30 times and the battle of the Episcopal church just as many times. We really identify ourselves as a congregation first — a church family. That lives on. That’s what we’re focused on right now.”

Vaughn currently heads a committee that oversees church operations in the absence of a rector. The search for a full-time priest is under way but can be a “lengthy” process, he said.

Perhaps best known as home of the annual community Christmas dinner for the past 30 years, the church formed when Bristol, Va., still was known as Goodson. And it has played an instrumental role in community history.

Emmanuel was a founding church of Bristol Faith in Action, a nonprofit agency that assists the needy, hosted the Patricia Friedman Literacy Academy for many years and established the Episcopal Day School that evolved into Sullins Academy.

The church also manages programs providing meals for shut-ins, a soup kitchen and a social club for people with special needs, despite declines in membership.

“We call it stone soup,” Vaughn said. “We used to be a congregation of hundreds, and now we’re a congregation of 75 to 90 family units. While our needs have increased, our regular population has decreased. But we’re still maintaining those programs at about the same levels we always have.”

Many churches appear to face similar declines, Vaughn said, while others have experienced growth.

“Churches sometimes lose focus on the bigger mission of spiritual nourishment,” Vaughn said. “How can we get people engaged in the active worship and — once we get that — how do we take that out into the community?

“One of the things that draws people to the Episcopal church is the tradition. When the world was kind of blowing up and crazy, it [tradition] was comforting. Sometimes, you want that bowl of tomato soup because you know how it tastes,” Vaughn added. “You can go to just about any Episcopal church in the country and worship in a similar way to our church. We laugh and say no good music has been written since the 1760s.”

The church is traditional and — during high services — filled with pageantry, incense and singing beneath the chapel’s striking, stained-glass windows.

“I think Robin Williams said about the Episcopal church — as opposed to being a Catholic — all the fanfare and half the guilt,” Vaughn said.

After shuffling between a number of locations, the Emmanuel congregation constructed its first building in 1872 at the corner of Moore Street and Piedmont Avenue — where the current Masonic temple now stands.

A few yards up the hill, the current building replaced that structure in 1921.

Church members recently funded a capital campaign for extensive repairs to the roof, walls, electrical system and pipe organ. Vaughn said the support was heartening, especially in light of fewer members.

“Half the time, we talk about church as a business when we ought to talk about church as — this is where God and Jesus live, and they love you and want you to come in and be part of it. Then it becomes, can we pass the plate one more time because we can’t meet the budget,” Vaughn said. “We’ve become very conscious of that, and it’s why we try very hard to live within our means. We don’t spend a dime unless we know we have that money in hand.”

The church has three paid employees, a full-time parish administrator, part-time custodian and part-time music director.

“The church family has kept us going for 150 years,” Vaughn said. “If you look through our rosters, there are a lot of well-known names in this community. But, more, there are also names that nobody knows. The fact is, we all come together to be one as a church.”

When you have all of that info, put it on some form of invitation (whether it's print or email, etc...) 3. Many see him as the successor to Garth Brooks, and even supposing his data are not slightly as distinctive, he does appear determined to remain a rustic artist (whatever that implies today) with titles akin to "Don't Mention Memphis", "Give It To Me Strait", "It Doesn't Get Any Countrier Than This" and his 1996 US usa no 1 "She Never Lets It Go To her Heart". You MUST make friends with them! The fact that Beit El Harrawi has been restored as a venue to showcase some of Cairo? I prepared this for the current circumstances. Night Moves become a blockbuster, generating the hit singles "Night Moves," "Mainstreet," and "Rock & Roll Never Forgets." Stranger in Town, launched in the summer 1978, used to be just as successful, that includes the hits "Still the Same," "Hollywood Nights," "We've Got Tonite," and "Old Time Rock & Roll." Stranger in Town confirming his standing as one America's hottest rockers. When the date comes, immediately go online and make your purchase. With the Forum completely darkened and only a direct spotlight shinning on the group... As a concert ticket stub market? Judging from what cool kids say, what I have is an urge regarding concert.

Crosscut Tout: For music fans, a week of classical innovation across Seattle

Posted on by

1329147435 88 Crosscut Tout: For music fans, a week of classical innovation across Seattle

This week brings two offerings that should be especially worthwhile for contemporary-music aficionados in Seattle. The mission of The Box Is Empty is “to engage new and seasoned audiences in the evolving ways we interact with and experience sound, art, and music.” The ensemble was launched just half a year ago, with a program devoted to the unfailingly intriguing Dutch composer Louis Andriessen. On Thursday they present their second concert at the Good Shepherd Center as part of the boldly adventurous Wayward Music Series.

The program will pair works by two innovative American composers: Steve Reich and David Lang.

Reich is best-known for his pioneering work in Minimalism and has explored the intersection between speech and music in fascinating ways. In Proverb (1995), he uses one brief text by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, at the same time drawing on rhythmic techniques from medieval music. In this case, the uncannily fitting text, repeated throughout the duration of the piece, is “How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life” (taken from Wittgenstein’s notebooks as published in Culture and Value.) The result is a mesmerizing slow-motion lyricism and overlapping pulsation.

Reich’s setting for three sopranos, two tenors, vibraphones, and electric organs also sets the stage for the heart-rending simplicity of Lang’s the little match girl passion.  Using the barest flecks of tuned percussion to accompany a vocal quartet, Lang also alludes to early music — commentary choruses from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion settings and the spare beauty of Renaissance polyphony — to recount the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about a young girl who slowly freezes to death trying to sell matches on a bitterly cold New Year’s Eve. 

Despite Lang’s austere minimalism, the stylized chamber drama of match girl’s winter tale leaves a devastating emotional impression. There’s no substitute for encountering it in live performance. “The suffering of the little match girl has been substituted for Jesus’s,” writes the composer, “elevating (I hope) her sorrow to a higher plane.” Although it won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2008, only now (!) is this remarkably moving composition receiving its Northwest premiere. Bravo to The Box Is Empty for breaking the ice.

Meanwhile, Seattle Modern Orchestra, already into a second season, has been establishing itself as a user-friendly guide to classic modernist landmarks. Artistic directors Julia Tai and Jeremy Jolley, who cofounded the chamber ensemble while grad students at the University of Washington, typically offer illuminating nuts-and-bolts introductions to the pieces they perform. Their concerts this season are alternating between the Good Shepherd Center and Cornish College’s Poncho Hall on Capitol Hill, where this Friday’s program takes place.

Like a smartly curated art show, each program attempts to shed light on different composers’ approaches to a given theme. Next up is Layers of Time, which promises a focus on the way a piece is made to unfold through time: specifically, through the use of “layering” of independent threads that happen simultaneously.

The fancy word for this is “counterpoint.” Bach’s art of combining such layers in pieces like the Brandenburg Concertos represents a way that’s familiar to Western ears. But Seattle Modern Orchestra will showcase three examples from the late 20th century that explore alternatives to this kind of richly blended aural tapestry. SMO compares their methods to geological strata, “where each layer was formed in different time periods.”

If you take in Steve Reich’s Proverb the previous night, you can compare it to his earlier Eight Lines for chamber orchestra. Written in 1983 (a revision of his still earlier Octet), Eight Lines is a tour de force study in interlocking simultaneities.

Piece No. 2 for Orchestra, a work from near the end of American maverick Conlon Nancarrow’s long career, should be a real treat. It’s a rare orchestral piece by a composer especially known for the hypercomplex rhythms of his studies for player piano. SMO will also present Talea by French composer Gérard Grisey who died prematurely in 1998. Grisey was a student of one of the 20th century’s most imaginative composers, Olivier Messiaen. Titled after a term from medieval music that refers to rhythmic structures, Talea plays on the paradox or mechanical processes that open up into freedom.

And what about new music from the Seattle Symphony? Stay tuned on January 25 for the orchestra to make its official announcement of the 2012-13 season under new music director Ludovic Morlot. We’ll find out where he intends to lead their exploration of contemporary orchestral music in the coming year.

And today (Wednesday, Jan. 25), you can sample Ludo’s work with the band for free, though this time in a concert squarely focused on the classics: At 12:30 p.m. at Seattle City Hall, they will perform a program of Weber and Beethoven.

If you go: The Box Is Empty performs music by David Lang and Steve Reich at The Chapel at the Good Shepherd Center on Thursday, January 26, at 8 p.m. 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N, 4th floor, 206-789-1939. Tickets: $5-15 (cash only).

Seattle Modern Orchestra’s Layers of Time concert will be performed at PONCHO Concert Hall, Friday, January 27 at 8 p.m. 710 E. Roy St. Tickets: $10-20.

Seattle Symphony performs at City Hall, Wednesday, January 25, at 12:30 p.m. 600 Fourth Ave. Free.

So whether you are looking for MMA tickets, UFC tickets, PGA golf tickets, NASCAR tickets, boxing tickets or even rodeo tickets or PBR tickets, we've got all the sporting event tickets you need right here! I, intuitively, don't catch onto concert. Fans buy it and the boys in the band - must stand behind it... The first step is the opening, where and when this happens the event. Technology made our lives hassle-free. Although she may sing in her concert opening song Fearless Love, that she wants a fearless love and wont settle for anything less, it was apparent for those in attendance at the sold out show at the Ovations LIVE! Say what? Forcing that sometimes works as long as there is a fine line between music video and music online radio. It is quite lame to me how dabblers can illustrate an intense problem like this. Ricky Martin's bilingual album titled Msica + Alma + Sexo was launched on February one, 2011. This does can be reciprocal. Enjoyable as in these venues actually offered the cheap concert ticket I was looking for, and it only took me a few seconds to locate it! For more than three decades Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich on saxophones and Donald Miller on guitar are following their way to create unusual, free improvised sounds on a high-energy level based on the experiences of Free Jazz - music made for people who expect the unexpected, music free from routine and stereotypes that opens your ears and clears your mind.

By Caralee Aschenbrenner

DON’T TOUCH THAT DIAL! was a familiar warning during the 1930’s and ‘40’s when radio was the dominant form of entertainment and news. Oh, yes, the weekly or daily newspaper was subscribed for most homes and movies were ever so popular but radio had become indispensable.

pdq08 Prairie Advocate News Carroll County, Illinois Please Dont Quote Me

Clammer’s tents, c. 1900, on the Rock River. Ogle County History, 1976

The homes’ radio hummed in the background all day long. It could be heard in the barbershops and mechanic’s garage, blaring out from the porch where a teenager lived. It was everywhere. And in the daytime it was usually turned to the “soaps” because women were yet homemakers not breadwinners. Well, perhaps a part-time job might lure her away from the soap operas.

The fifteen minute programs in daytime, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, were called “washboard weepers,” “sudsers” but mostly “soap operas” because many of the sponsors of the programs were laundry or cosmetic soaps, cleansers, cleaners of some sort. Household products filled in the blanks … Gelatins, baking needs, drugs like Anacin or Alka Seltzer and so forth.

Send in a dime or box top or both from any of those to get a little recipe booklet. Many were the critics of daytime radio soaps, of course, mostly men at the brainy level who may have discounted the emotional appeal or escape to adventure and excitement for the housebound homemaker. To them their critique was “tripe,” or a “deluge of dirt.” But for the most part the millions of housewives or single women who devotedly listened tuned that out from the very beginning.

There is some uncertainty about when the first daytime serial program occurred but most accurate sources point to “The Smith Family” broadcast in 1925 from Chicago. “Amos and Andy” and the “Goldberg’s” were shuffled in there at about the same time. You’ll realize how popular The Smith Family could have been when you learn that Marian and Jim Jordan were its leads, later Fibber McGee and Molly, always in the top ten favorites when broadcast from 79 Wistful Vista. Not much is known about those first years but by 1930 the daytime serial was well on its way.

Listed below are just a few daytime “soaps” that radio fans might recognize their names because, after all, some radio stations carry Old Time Radio. WSDR, Sterling – weekday afternoons, 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. and WBBM, Chicago – every weeknight, 12:00 to 1:00 at night.

“Life Can Be Beautiful” sponsored by Proctor and Gamble products, in this case, Spic and Span cleanser. Amongst the “in-crowd” who listened without fail, it was known as El C BB or Elsie Bebe! It followed the life of a ghetto chick whose name was changed from Carol to Chichi who had stumbled into a used book store to be taken in by its proprietor, David Solomon, a kindly old gent who gave her a pallet to sleep on in the back room. She was found there fifteen years later, the victim of many an adventure for some reason as yet unexplored. And to add to the mystery she was hiding from racketeer, Gyp Mendoza. Naturally, Chichi fell in love with a crippled lawyer whose disability was more than offset by his keen and clever mind. If it wasn’t one problem after another we don’t know what was.

“Our Gal Sunday” sponsored by P & G and Kolynos toothpaste. “Can an orphan from a little mining town in Colorado (Silver Creek) find happiness as wife of the wealthy and titled Englishman, Lord Henry Brinthrope, was the daily sign-on, Sunday also led an adventurous life … Kidnapped by cattle rustlers, held for ransom, etc., etc., etc. OGS was one of the five major soap operas written by Frank and Anne Hummert, all of them popular. They were most prolific and “Sunday” is described as the “most enduring and least credible” of the Hummert’s top five, this according to author John Dunning whose history of daytime radio is unsurpassed. Sunday’s marriage to Lord Henry was kept in limbo for seven years. How’s that for story line?

“Ma Perkins” sponsored by Oxydol laundry soap. Ma was called “America’s mother of the air.” She counseled America from 1933 to 1960, twenty-seven years so she couldn’t have been too bad at her philosophical renderings. She managed a lumberyard in Rushville Center (population 4,000) with the help of Shuffle Shorber and a host of characters. Life in Rushville Center was filled with tears, troubles, maniacs and melodrama to the saturation point but Ma was never too busy to stop what she was doing to help someone. The Golden Rule guided her. She was called the “Female— Just Plain Bill,” another soap opera.

And while we talk about guiding there was the “Guiding Light” which may have had the longest life of all the soaps. It began on radio in 1937, sponsored by White Naptha soap. It moved to television in 1952. It wrapped there in 2009, seventy-two years as storyteller, quite an accomplishment.

Its initial creator was a twenty-seven year old actress for WGN, Chicago, Irma Phillips.

Unlike the Hummerts, Phillips wrote the programs by herself, dictating to a secretary—a million words a year to be lined into script. The Hummert’s had a large staff which sorted out the ideas and characters because with five shows they could get them mixed. The staff could be said to have been co-writers! The main characters one year might not have been in the script the next year … They faded over time but the show did have, perhaps, some of the most famous actors to go on to movies and other headlines in television such as James Earl Jones, Kevin Bacon, Melinda Kanakaredes and more.

“Just Plain Bill” (Kolynos toothpaste). “Bill” had a barbershop in the small town of Hartville. Frank and Anne Hummert preferred life in a small town. It could more easily manipulated and organized. Bill, the hometown philosopher, salt of the earth-type, always had time for the troubled and insecure—and the normal and ordinary, too, even though he’d become involved in some dire situations. Once “Old Man Willis” was stalking Bill with a shotgun as the town watched. Bill’s daughter Nancy lay near death in her bed at home, the home she shared with, of course, attractive and highbrow husband, Kevin Donovan. Most of the soaps girls were usually on a lower social level than their rich and matinee idol-like hubbies. Donovan was described as being “sometimes jealous, often moody.” Entering politics, he developed some diabolical schemes to add to the simplicity of Bill’s just plain life. The rural theme was introduced by folk music (Polly Wolly Doodle, of all things) played by a harmonica and guitar instead of the usual deep-throated, versatile organ of other programs. “Bill” ended his clippings and counseling in 1955, just as the soaps were dwindling in number.

Two brands of soap named two night time programs although they weren’t “soaps.”

The Rinso Show that starred entertainer Al Jolson and Lux Radio Theater, a long-time favorite because it dramatized a popular movie and the radio players were some famous movie star, sometimes as many as four of them. The most important director in Hollywood at the time was Cecil B. DeMille who hosted the show. His distinctive voice was a signature identity Lux, a hand soap, like many another soap product paid the bills in the thirty-five years and little more of the heyday of radio serials broadcasts. Networks could not complain as some of the critics had. Underline the bottom of the ledger column in black. For instance, in 1935 sponsors paid out nearly $12,000,000 for advertising. Just four years later in 1939 the amount had climbed to over $27,000,000 for their name on the airwaves. The soap makers, the flour millers, the drug laboratories and all the other household products who paid the bills knew what they were doing. They were appealing to the housewives, the secretaries, the line worker, the feminine seeking an imaginative fling through the radio. Her humdrum life for a few minutes was a bit of excitement. Those who’ve researched and studied the soap opera genre found it a valuable social force and a positive one. Mary Noble, “Backstage Wife,” had to cope diplomatically with the glamorous admirers who clamored after her actor husband, Larry.

There’d be villainy, intrigue, boredom and trouble of every form; that if Young Widder Brown could overcome them while raising two fatherless children so could the average housewife. Radio was an important tool in the forming of America.

And unlike today’s movies and television the mature woman could be the heroine, not some buxom chick under thirty who are cast in today’s shows. The mature women were just as important for furthering the plot as the babes. Look at Ma Perkins, Tugboat Annie (with humor, too), Molly McGee and Helen Trent, as in the “Romance of Helen Trent.” Her romances existed for over twenty-seven years and she had twenty-eight of them in that time, she being a “woman of uncertain age.” Maybe even over fifty. Oh, my! Her husbands-to-be ran into a plethora of problems … Mania, murder, heart attack doing and being jilted, disappearing without trace, etc. The Hummert’s thought of any thing to have Helen Trent have a new vigorous romance. She was called the “queen of the soaps” because she was Goodness personified … She didn’t smoke, drink or utter even the mildest of oath. She was example to millions of listeners. Like the western movie plot, Helen’s exemplary life was good, evil the other person, black or white and the listener knew which was which. Review claimed that Helen never laughed. You can see why.

Dirt Room came out quickly, and is easily my favorite Blue October song. It being very common in villages for children to go from house to house singing carols such as ?teaua?? I found it better to create concert although concert isn't a secret weapon known only to sidekicks. I have a bit of persistance when discusssing music lyrics. To best this off, Sehnsucht went platinum in Germany (500,000) in the presale, earlier than they hit the streets. By far the hardest mechanism of getting a free music online that designs a mien for a latest music. This is the music site that's annoying. Here are a few unknown and juicy facts about the band lead singer Bon Jovi that his fans would like to dig into! When I was working with concert more than 6 weeks ago, someone told me in reference to stream christmas music.

Music Post: Some key pieces – Howzit Howard

1328108231 12 Music Post: Some key pieces Howzit Howard

In Bach's day, the early 1700s, music for keyboards was mostly music for organ or harpsichord. Organs were in churches and organ music was mostly religious in nature. Non-religious music for keyboards was generally written for the harpsichord family of instruments. A typical harpsichord has a plectrum: striking the keys doesn't hammer the strings but plucks them. Many harpsichords have two keyboards, a loud one and a soft one, and a switch that slaves one to the other, producing a third level of volume.

The fortepiano, which came into wide use in Mozart's time, the late 1700s, was a technological breakthrough, allowing the performer to adjust the volume of every note because each key triggered a hammer strike of the strings, variable according to the performer's taste and ability. Forte is the Italian word for loud and piano is the Italian word for soft.

The fortepiano was replaced by the pianoforte, the modern piano, only a generation later in Beethoven's time, the early 1800s. The pianoforte was similar to the pianoforte but could achieve much more variety of sound. Among other things, it could be played louder – a lot louder.

In recent years there has been something of a revival of Haydn and Mozart pieces played on the old fortepiano for which they wrote the pieces – the action is a little faster on those instruments and sometimes the pieces sound really good like this. But for the most part, pianists prefer to play most solo piano music on the biggest, baddest, most sonorous pianofortes they can find.

The growth of the symphony orchestra in the late 1800s, followed by the use of big orchestras for movie soundtracks and recordings in the 20th century, led to a focus on composers' biggest works, sometimes at the expense of their chamber music including music for solo piano, which previously had been an important representation of composers' music in household parlors. Composers like Liszt and Chopin, who were gifted pianists themselves, were heard more often in the old days, a bit less so now, because Chopin wrote almost entirely for solo piano, while Liszt, who wrote many large orchestral works, simply isn't as acclaimed for those as for his piano compositions.

Beethoven never had that problem. The towering symphonist was also a prolific and unique composer for piano, an instrument on which he, too, was an excellent performer. Symphony patrons and recording enthusiasts can get happily blasted by one of the nine symphonies or the great concert overtures, but Beethoven wrote dozens of sensational piano sonatas. Even people who don't think they know classical music would recognize the middle movement of the "Pathetique" or the opening movement of the "Moonlight" Sonata, and what an experience awaits them when they hear the beginning of the "Waldstein" Sonata or the fugal finales of any of several other great pieces.

I thought it would be fun to choose several examples of Beethoven's best solo piano stuff, and place it next to great piano music by others. This week on my public radio show, the "Pathetique" and "Moonlight" Sonata hit tunes will come on either side of "Starlight Nights" from "The Seasons" by Tchaikovsky, and a Beethoven movement (Sonata No. 30, first movement) that sounds a bit like Chopin will be followed by two versions of Chopin's astonishing Nocturne No. 8.

The show will also feature piano pieces by Mozart, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky, Samuel Barber, Roy Harris, Francis Poulenc and Thelonious Monk.

Howard's Day Off airs live 5am-7am HST (10am-noon EST and 7am-9am PST) on KHPR Honolulu, KKUA Wailuku, Maui, and KANO Hilo, Hawaii, and streams live on hawaiipublicradio.org. Max Cacas of Washington, D.C., founded the Howard's Day Off Listener Appreciation Society on Facebook.
