Was an 18th-century vessel of Madeira the same size as that Yellow Tail cabernet sauvignon we put in the middle of the table today? Not the same shape but probably a similar volume, said Bill Lindsey, curator of an authoritative online encyclopedia of bottle history.īottles were not throwaway commodities in 18th-century America, which had no glass container industry and imported most of the handblown vessels from Britain and Europe. Lloyd also calculated the costs of the night's revelry, figuring the tab of 89 pounds, 4 shillings and 2 pence (for the food and drink) to equal about $15,400 in 21st-century dollars.Īnd then there are the bottles. Lloyd tracked down the great-great-great grandfather of George Christhilf, one of the listed musicians and learned that Christhilf was a German immigrant who had fought for first the British and then the Americans and died in 1793 in a yellow fever outbreak. Samuel Miles, who paid it, was a Wales-born Quaker who also served in the Revolutionary War. Thomas Proctor, who submitted the bill to the troop, was an artillery commander under Washington and is buried at Old St. He began parsing the details and tracing the names.Ĭol. Lloyd believes the typed summary of the City Tavern bill was created by historians in the 1950s from the troop's original archives. "I have no reason to doubt the menu would be largely the same for the framers," said Lloyd. No record of that feast has been found, but Lloyd believes the two events - catered to the same tastes from the same kitchen and cellar - would have been very alike. In fact, when Lloyd found the Washington bar tab, he was hoping to shed light on another City Tavern bacchanal, the farewell gathering of delegates held there three days later after they had signed the long-sought Constitution. Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it.") (It was as he was being carried away from Independence Hall on a litter afterward that a woman asked what they had created. (See "1776: The Musical.") Benjamin Franklin's taste for the grape, for example, may have contributed to the gout that gave him fits during the convention. As a group, the Founders were known to imbibe. Plus, Ellis said, Washington could hold his drink. "He's already an icon, and he behaves like an icon," said Joseph Ellis, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "His Excellency: George Washington." "I could see him sitting at the head of the table at City Tavern and letting things form around him." Always a dignified presence, Washington - who had beaten the British and been the calming center of the stormy Constitution debate - had by the end of the Constitutional Convention assumed civic-deity status and was universally assumed to become the first head of the government the new document would create. History doesn't tell us how deep into the madeira the father of our country got that night, but it's unlikely he was to blame for any of the broken decanters. Everyone knew what the delegates had done."Īnd everyone knew that General Washington was almost certainly going to become President Washington. "George Washington was free to join the troop that he had led in war. "It was a big night," said Gordon Lloyd, the professor emeritus at Pepperdine University who came across a summary of the tavern bill while combing through boxes of Independence Hall documents. There was a line item for cigars and candles and another for the broken wine glasses, decanters and tumblers. The nine musicians and seven waiters ran up their own liquor bill (21 additional bottles of wine) that the troop paid for. In all, according to the itemized bill for the evening from the troop's archives, more than 45 gallons of booze were served to "55 gentlemens," who also got dinner, fruit, relishes and olives. 8 bottles of cider and 7 large bowls of punch (both of which were probably alcoholic). And boy could they drink.įrom the archives, the republic's founding bar tab: The First Troop, as the unit came to be known, could fight. And delegate George Washington promptly went on the bender that began America.Īt City Tavern, the framers' unofficial watering hole four blocks from Independence Hall, Washington was the guest of the Light Horse of Philadelphia, a volunteer cavalry corps that had crossed the Delaware with Washington and wintered at Valley Forge.

Trainees have begun their journey into the Simply Music Teacher Training Program however, they have yet to finalize their training and elevate to Licensed status.Ī 'Licensed' Simply Music Teacher is the second level of teacher status. His past caught up with him, but in a way he could never have imagined.Ī 'Trainee' Simply Music Teacher is the first level of teacher status. He left the room to roll a cigarette and when he came back, he said, You tell Michael that I’ll slow down so that he can catch up with me.” Soon after, Carter boarded a plane for the first time in his life to attend the Grammy ceremony in Los Angeles as well as traveling to Tennessee for a benefit concert.Ĭarter died not long after at the age of 77. As Fleming relates, “He got a real kick out of that. Fleming then informed him the soundtrack was outselling Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson. He couldn’t even remember making the recording 43 years earlier. When Chairetakis and Fleming flew to Chicago to personally present Carter with a $20,000 royalty check, Carter was astonished. Happily Carter had put his prison days well behind him and was living in Chicago with church minister Rosie Lee Carter, and had for years worked as a shipping clerk. Trawling the archives of the Mississippi penal system and other public records, they managed to do just that. These days they’ve been replaced by rock music booming out of construction-zone ghetto blasters, but for me it’s almost enough, hearing the rich chanted harmonies and rough rhythm of this song of trouble and strife, to get me out chopping wood.Īfter the huge success of the album, Lomax’s daughter Anna Lomax Chairetakis, director of the Alan Lomax Archive, along with Burnett and Don Fleming, director of Licensing for the Archive, realised that Carter would be due royalties for the recording, and determined to track him down. Work songs, common in many traditions, often improvised and typically sung at a tempo that matches the task, help keep the workers productive, happy and connected. In 1959, Lomax had visited Parchman Farm State Penitentiary in Mississippi and recorded a group of prisoners, led by James Carter, a man who had left home at 13 and seen a lot of prison time, singing a “bad man ballad” while chopping logs in time. It’s credited for turning many people on to country music, and you don’t have to visit too many hip urban households before you find a much-played copy.įor inspiration, Burnett scoured the Lomax archive, unearthing one particular gem, a recording of a prison work song. The soundtrack was a huge success, winning Burnett a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2001, and selling millions. Burnett obviously considered the film, with its depression-era Mississippi setting, and the Coens’ aim of making the music an integral part of the story, as a great opportunity to share his love of American folk songs. For their film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Joel and Ethan Coen called on the services of the respected artist and producer T-Bone Burnett, another great champion of forgotten folk music. His enormous collection of recordings is now in the hands of the Library of Congress.Īnother source of unsung musical heroes is the world of film, particularly the role of Music Producer, who is typically buried deep in the closing credits, although sometimes a higher-profile artist is brought in to work behind the scenes sourcing music. Many of the folk music traditions he documented died out soon after. Armed with a portable tape recorder, Lomax spent several decades from the 1930’s travelling the United States, along with many other parts of the world, recording and archiving musical traditions from the tail end of the days when music was a participatory tradition and every town had its own distinct musical style. One such unsung hero is the American ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. In our rush to idolise our favourite singers or composers, we miss some other great contributors to musical culture. 12/29/2023 0 Comments One direction itunes video diary“If you listen to ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ or ‘One Thing,’ they have two-finger guitar riffs that everyone who can play a bit of guitar can learn. “The guitar riff had to be so simple that my friend’s 15-year-old daughter could play it and put a cover to YouTube,” Falk says. The greatest thing popular music can do is make someone else think, “I can do that,” and One Direction’s music was designed with that intent. They’d all studied at the Max Martin/Cheiron Studios school of pop craftsmanship, and Falk says they were confident they could crack the boy-band code once more with songs that recalled BSB and ‘NSync, but replaced the dated synths and pianos with guitars. To craft that sound on 1D’s first two albums, Up All Night and Take Me Home, Kotecha worked mostly with Swedish songwriters-producers Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub. “The guitar riff had to be so simple that my friend’s 15-year-old daughter could play it and put a cover to YouTube,” says Carl Falk It would come out of left field and become something owned by the fans.” And I felt like the only music you could really do that with is fun, poppy guitar songs. I felt like a kid again when I was around them. “Me and Simon would talk about how was Beatlesque, Monkees-esque,” Kotecha continues. Instead, the reference points for 1D went all the way back to the source of contemporary boy bands. In 2010, Kotecha remembers, “everybody was doing this sort of Rihanna dance pop.” But that just wasn’t a sound One Direction could pull off (the Wanted did it only once) and famously, they didn’t even dance. The common thread linking all great boy bands, from New Kids to BSB, he says, is, “When they’d break, they’d come out of nowhere, sounding like nothing that’s on the radio.” He first witnessed their power back in the Eighties, when New Kids on the Block helped his older sister through her teens. Kotecha, who met 1D on The X Factor and shepherded them through their first few years, is a devoted student of the history of boy bands. One Direction’s songs were great and their charisma and chemistry undeniable, but what made them stick was a sound unlike anything else in pop - rooted in guitar rock at a time when that couldn’t have been more passé. It’d been a decade since the heyday of ‘NSync and Backstreet Boys, and the churn of generations demanded a new boy band. Most of it was mumbled - a temporary place-holder - but there was one phrase: “Better than words …” A few hours later, on the bus to another city, another show - Bunetta and Ryan can’t remember where - Liam asked, maybe having a laugh, “What if the rest of the song was just lyrics from other songs?” At one point, Liam got up to use the bathroom, and when he re-emerged, he was singing a melody. The second takes place a few years later: Another hotel room in England - this one in Manchester - where songwriters and producers Julian Bunetta and John Ryan were throwing back Cucumber Collins cocktails and tinkering with a beat. The first will be familiar to any fan: Songwriter and producer Savan Kotecha was sitting on the toilet in a London hotel room, when he heard his wife say, “I feel so ugly today.” The words that popped into his head would shape the chorus of One Direction’s unforgettable 2011 debut, “What Makes You Beautiful.” A bathroom figures significantly in the origin stories of at least two classic One Direction songs. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Vivadesigner reviewIt’s moderately priced (no subscription) and rivals InDesign for features. I’m a big fan of Affinity Publisher and it’s my current go-to for page layout. The goal of Scribus is much more focused on providing you a means to create a book, while InDesign has broad applications for a range of projects.Īll of that is balanced against the fact that Scribus is free and Adobe InDesign is about $240 per year. Though I have to acknowledge that InDesign is much more powerful–you’ve got powerful image editing and design tools that Scribus doesn’t offer. Neither is particularly better than the other it becomes a matter of personal taste. Scribus’s basic page is much simpler and accessing tools requires opening various pop out windows. It’s like night and day InDesign uses a huge variety of tools that frame in your workspace, giving you access to so many options and ways to control your work. Scribus doesn’t offer cloud storage and you’ll be on your own with learning how to use the features. With InDesign, you’ve got a lot of features, a wealth of resources to help you learn the ins and outs, and the backup of Adobe’s creative cloud meaning your software is always up to date. So how does it stand up to some of the most popular desktop publishers? Scribus Vs. It took a little more time and frustration for me to learn the tool, but once I did the final PDF looked just about the same as the one I created from InDesign. Scribus basically just offers their wiki page.īut you absolutely can achieve a wide range of book creation and publishing tasks with Scribus. When I wanted to learn InDesign, there are entire websites and YouTube channels dedicated to teaching me. I think it’s fair to say that Scribus has a steeper learning curve and there are fewer resources to help. Using Scribus took longer than it did with InDesign or Affinity Publisher. I always use a Gutenberg version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to test page layout software. So that, very broadly, is how to use Scribus to create a book. You can always import each chapter individually, adding styles similar to Microsoft Word and preparing some unique pages by manipulating the text frames, just like you would with InDesign. From there I can insert front matter pages and add a bunch of normal pages after.ĭoing it this way means I’ll have to go in and add styles for chapter titles and clean up the text. I like to create a Front Matter Master too. Since you selected Spreads, you’ll have a Normal Right and Normal Left Master to begin with. You’ll also be able to create sections in the same way you would in MS Word. Just like other desktop publishing apps, you’ll have the option to build Master Pages to assign different profiles to sections in your book. If you don’t select this, importing your contents will be a pain. This will build a text frame into every page. Last one, and this is possibly the most important check the box Automatic Text Frames. Be sure to use the finish size here and select the Bleeds tab to include bleeds. Scribus includes some preset page sizes, but you can always customize. Add a larger Inside margin to create a gutter.It’s easy and once you’ve got the pages the way you like, you can always save them as a template to use later. I advice setting up your own pages though. You’ve got a lot of options here, including using some existing templates. Unlike Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher, you must open a lot of the toolbars in new windows. Making A Bookīefore you create your book, you’ll want to adjust some settings and get familiar with the layout. The downside is that you’re limited to the wiki page for how-to information and the interface is more cumbersome to navigate. So what you have is desktop publishing software that will do everything InDesign can (for a book) without having to pay anything. While the team that built Scribus strives for a user-friendly interface, it’s not perfect. Updates might take a long time to come out, and functionality might not be the best. That means it’s free but with that comes the caveat that those maintaining it are not getting paid. It’s a simple page layout tool built for all common operating systems and totally open source. Today we will look at creating a simple novel in Scribus and comparing it to other popular options. If you’ve never tried, or even heard of, Scribus then you are in the right place. Thinking about laying out your next book yourself but not sure you want to invest in InDesign or another paid tool? Try Scribus-it’s an open source alternative for page layout. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Hopeton james dubplateI used to watch San writing lyrics and deejaying on the sound system. “Growing up in Dela Vega City, I was neighbours with Papa San and Dirtsman. Living in a community with entertainers such as Papa San and his brother Dirtsman, also stirred Lady G’s interest in pursuing music. The elder Fyffe toured with The Congos and also worked with vintage acts like The Sparkles and The Eternals. I later found out that my father (Ken Fyffe) was a musician and, from then, I decided that I wanted to be a part of music,” Lady G told the Jamaica Observer on Sunday. I used to attend functions with my grandparents and then I got involved in drama. “Growing up as a little girl, I always loved entertaining. The winner of the Female DJ Of the Year award on multiple occasions (1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, and 1998), Lady G truly paved the way for many female dancehall artistes of today.īut her love affair with music began as a child while living in Dela Vega City in Spanish Town, St Catherine. With a career spanning 38 years, Lady G came, saw and conquered. Everybody put their best foot forward, even those who were on it the first time did their very best,” he said.LONG before there was social media or streaming platforms, Lady G was a hot commodity within the dancehall space. “I think that all the artistes were exceptional this year for both nights.

On Night One, Rebel's hit-laden performance stood out. So, we thought it very fitting for him to come to St Ann for him to say something to the people,” Rebel said. We help them with tuition and such, and they have been excelling academically. “The significance of Julius is that Rebel Salute has a foundation that has been supporting Marcus Garvey High School over the years. They also added a comedy special by Christopher “Johnny” Daley and a dubplate battle between Jack Scorpio and Dynamq Sound of Sudan which was well-received.ĭuring opening night, Rebel invited Julius Garvey, son of Jamaica's first National Hero Marcus Garvey, to the stage. Rebel and his team sought to make several improvements, especially in the area of stage management. It is very indicative of the love for the culture and the show,” he said. “The highlight was when the rain was falling and patrons took their chairs and umbrella to shelter, and even Saturday night when the rain came down and we thought everybody would leave, they stayed. Both nights saw sporadic rain and strong winds but was no deterrent to patrons who enjoyed the performances. The two-day (January 17-18) show took place at Grizzly's Plantation Cove in St Ann. “Mi a give thanks,” he told the Jamaica Observer. TONY Rebel, founder and organiser of Rebel Salute, says he is grateful for the strong support the event received last week.

So, if you take this nominal width measurement in millimetres and double it you can work out whether your condom will fit you. The nominal width of a condom is how wide a condom is when it’s laid flat. Have you ever noticed the measurement on your condom packet called ‘nominal width’? No? Don’t worry, lots of people overlook this number but it’s what they should be paying the most attention to. There are longer and shorter condoms available, but what what most men need to know more about is their girth. Most condoms are around 7 inches long and as the average penis size is between 5 – 7 inches when erect most men find that this fits them quite well. However, when it comes to condom your girth measurement is usually more important than your length. Now you’ve got your two measurements, length and girth, and both of these are important when it comes to finding the right condom for you. Now you’ve got your measurements, it’s time to find out what condoms are right for you. You can do this with a tape measure or use a piece of string and then measure the string with a ruler. To measure girth, measure around the mid-point of your shaft and note the size in millimetres. To measure the length, measure from the base of the penis (where the condom would stop rolling) to the tip of the penis. You’re going to want to take two measurements, your length and your girth. You’re going to be using your condom when your penis is hard, so it just makes sense to take your measurements when you’re erect. When you’re measuring your penis to work out your condom size, you’re going to want your penis to be erect. So, grab a tape measure, ruler, meter stick or whatever else you need to measure your penis and let’s get started. Get your rulers ready, because we’re going to start by measuring your penis.īefore we can talk about which size of condoms you should be using, we’re going to have to see how you measure up. Today we’re going to take a look at condom sizes and which one is the best fit for you. If you’ve ever struggled to find the right sized condom for you, then you’re in luck! If you want to have the best possible time when you get down and make love, you’ll need a condom that fits you properly. This can lead to problems during sex, such as the condom slipping or falling off or the condom being painfully tight around the penis, meaning that you won’t be able to feel much at all. Many men struggle to find a condom that’s the right size for their penis and wind up wearing condoms that are either too large or too small. Using a condom is one of the most reliable ways to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancies or STIs, so it’s no surprise that many sexually active people like to keep a stash of our little rubber friends in their bedroom (or wherever else you and your partner like to end up).Įveryone who’s ever had to sit through that Sex Ed class with the bananas in high school knows how to use a condom, but finding the right one for you might be trickier than you’d think. If you’re about to get lucky then one of the most important things you should be thinking of is staying safe. |
