William Studwell has struck gold again! Providing a heterogenous mixture of songs that mirrors the diversity of the United States and its culture, The Americana Song Reader is an entertaining and informative collection of over 130 historical essays on various American and foreign songs that have had a significant impact on U.S. popular culture. The essays give you basic historical data on the work, refer to any related or affiliated works, and touch upon the cultural context of its creation and popular usage in the United States. Presented in an offbeat, somewhat irreverent, yet scholarly style, the author has once again compiled a reference book that is fun to read. In addition to presenting information useful for reference, The Americana Song Reader contains anecdotes, ironic sidelights, poetry, and allusions to parodies. For ease of use, the book is divided into several sections. These sections, with some representative songs listed, include: Dancing Songs: “After the Ball,” “The Hokey Pokey,” “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” Marching Songs: “March of the Toys,” “When the Saints Go Marching In” Rural and Western Songs: “The Big Rock Candy Mountain,” “Jessie James,” “The Streets of Laredo” Songs That Excite or Amuse: “An American in Paris,” “1812 Overture,” “The Sidewalks of New York” Songs That Soothe or Bring Tears: “Beautiful Dreamer,” “I'm Always Chasing Rainbows,” “My Wild Irish Rose” Children's Songs: “Hansel and Gretel,” “Pop Goes the Weasel,” “Sing a Song of Sixpence” Circus Songs: “Barnum and Bailey's Favorite,” “Be a Clown,” “The Flying Trapeze” Drinking Songs: “Auld Lange Syne,” “Little Brown Jug,” “Ninety Nine Bottles of Beer” College Songs: “Iowa Corn Song,” “Notre Dame Victory Song,” “The Whiffenpoof Song” Song title index and author/group index Whether the music comes from New York City, remote rural areas of the South or West, or from Vienna or Paris, all music having some sort of impact on the lives of everyday Americans is in a very true way part of Americana. In The Americana Song Reader, you'll see the songs both as small pieces of the American culture puzzle and, collectively, as a large segment of the music of the country. This newest addition to William Studwell's collection of song readers will delight the general public, musicians, and librarians.
"Reuben Reuben "is set in mid 1950s suburbia in Connecticut and starts out being told from the point of view of a grumpy but corruptible chicken farmer. The novel s second part recounts what happens when a womanizing poet from Wales (clearly Dylan Thomas) visits this new-to-him world of tidy lawns and cocktail parties and liberated lady poets. In the final third, a British poet/agent named Mopworth continues the story of the confused suburban literati. Fast-paced, devastating, energetic, and laugh-out-loud funny, it also has a manic note to it, as if the author were Scheherazade-like; being compulsively entertainingscrambling to amuse the reader with stories and jokes lest serious questions arise."
You’ll get a first-hand look at the life of a woman doctor balancing career and family—exemplifying a 20th century phenomenon. Dr. Eikleberry’s autobiography chronicles one mid-western, middle-class woman’s life in a rapidly changing century for women. You’ll learn what it was like to grow up on a farm in Missouri, to attend a one room school, to graduate high school at the end of WWII, and to compete against the college Greeks via an Independent Society. She started medical school as one of two women in a class of forty-four and subsequently lost peace and tranquility. Polio dominated her first private practice in Iowa. Soon she had four children and began life as a juggler, juxtaposing medical practice and family. She moved with her physician husband across the western United States; she experienced sexual harassment in her work for the military and derision from her fellow physicians as she cut costs for the Department of Public Assistance. Her medical practice ended in Colorado. Children now nearly grown, she and Bill embarked on a more recreational family project: the building of a log cabin in the remote Rocky Mountains. She tells the heart-wrenching story of losing their son to schizophrenia, a baffling and frightening mental illness. In conclusion, she takes you into a doctor’s mind, illustrating how too much money was spent on health care when less would have done, pointing out the many shades of gray in medicine, and stressing the value of clinical judgment.
