Download or read book FRAMILY written by Lou Saulino and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FRAMILY (friends considered family) is the third of a trilogy. It continues the sports discussions and escapades of three close friends since childhood, each now reconnected with their first loves. The saga began with "8" Centerfield in New York, 1951-1957, as three thirteen year-old amigos argued about the best center fielder in New York in their eighth- grade class. Was it Willie, Mickey, or the Duke? Dopey Bastid follows a reflection of the friends twenty years in the future as one buddy, with the assistance of his pals writes a novel about dumb decisions in the world of sports. FRAMILY commences at the conclusion of Dopey Bastid. The scene is a 1979 New Year's Eve celebration and concludes in the early summer of 1987. The sports stories herein are authentic, albeit with the addition of the perspective from an author who is writing about events several decades afterward. Historical fiction is the genre. The sports discussions continue in a format that author, T.A. Olsinski, had previously described as "the famous retelling reminds the reader what it is like to hear stories from the friendly guy sitting next to you at the bar." FRAMILY has a diversity of historical event dialogues, inclusive of baseball, football, basketball, hockey, boxing, golf and tennis. You will also share in non-sport history, such as the premature death of the comedic genius John Belushi, the movies of the era such as Chariots of Fire and Stand by Me, and the recollection of the music and poetic brilliance of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Billy Joel. The book endeavors to have the reader fondly recall sporting events or perhaps become more familiar with them. Moreover, the life events of the protagonists, Joey Kowalski, Bob Murphy, and Lou Marciano, along with their mates, will hopefully have you laughing out loud, shedding a tear, and most importantly reflecting on the true meaning of friendship.

Download or read book Sign Painters written by Faythe Levine and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our visual landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine, coauthor of Handmade Nation, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features stories and photographs of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. With a foreword by legendary artist (and former sign painter) Ed Ruscha, this vibrant book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco s New Bohemia Signs and New York s Colossal Media s Sky High Murals.

Download or read book Groove Music written by Mark Katz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's all about the scratch in Groove Music, award-winning music historian Mark Katz's groundbreaking book about the figure that defined hip-hop: the DJ. Today hip-hop is a global phenomenon, and the sight and sound of DJs mixing and scratching is familiar in every corner of the world. But hip-hop was born in the streets of New York in the 1970s when a handful of teenagers started experimenting with spinning vinyl records on turntables in new ways. Although rapping has become the face of hip-hop, for nearly 40 years the DJ has proven the backbone of the culture. In Groove Music, Katz (an amateur DJ himself) delves into the fascinating world of the DJ, tracing the art of the turntable from its humble beginnings in the Bronx in the 1970s to its meteoric rise to global phenomenon today. Based on extensive interviews with practicing DJs, historical research, and his own personal experience, Katz presents a history of hip-hop from the point of view of the people who invented the genre. Here, DJs step up to discuss a wide range of topics, including the transformation of the turntable from a playback device to an instrument in its own right, the highly charged competitive DJ battles, the game-changing introduction of digital technology, and the complex politics of race and gender in the DJ scene. Exhaustively researched and written with all the verve and energy of hip-hop itself, Groove Music will delight experienced and aspiring DJs, hip-hop fans, and all students or scholars of popular music and culture.
