Download or read book Fragments of Yesteryear written by Robert D. Morritt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a youth, the author obtained a scratchy old 78rpm record of “The Prisoner’s Song” sung by Vernon Dalhart. He also sang and played American Folk songs on an old acoustic guitar with a harmonica rest strapped around his neck. It was at that time that he wondered, who were these early recording artists? What was their background? How old really, were these Folk and Country songs; How and where did they originate? Fragments of Yesteryear is intended to give some answers to these questions, in the hope it may enthuse others to enjoy this hobby, but moreover, to enjoy this rustic music. The author is a specialist in early American rural recordings. Fragments of Yesteryear represents many years of first-hand research based on field trips to Appalachia and other rural areas in order to understand the the origin of rural musicians, and of their music. From his substantial private collection of obscure early country recordings, he is pleased to be able to share the information herein and to dedicate this book to the memory of a fellow collector, the late much loved Albert Shewmaker of Kentucky (formerly Indiana) who spent his entire life researching these musicians.

Book excerpt: As the Soviet Union crumbles, a disillusioned KGB officer discovers a cryptic manuscript hidden deep in the Kremlin, launching him on a dangerous quest to expose a secret that could rewrite Russian history. Ivan Kuznetsov knows the Iron Curtain is falling. Amidst the chaos, he stumbles upon whispers of a clandestine brothel that has influenced Russia's most powerful men for generations. Compelled by duty and curiosity, Ivan investigates further at his own peril. The winding trail leads Ivan to an elegant brothel in the heart of Moscow, harboring relics that trace back through the annals of time. The madam, Ekaterina, recounts tales of deception, espionage, and blackmail that have quietly steered the country’s course for centuries. Her stories reveal how Russia’s fate has often been decided not in the halls of governance but behind these gilded walls. But Ivan soon discovers the brothel’s secrets come with a deadly price. With time running out and the KGB on his heels, he must choose whether to reveal the truth and risk the life he knows, or let The Last Brothel of the USSR fade into legend. In this thrilling tale, one man's quest for truth becomes a fight to expose a shadowy power that has manipulated Tsar and Commissar alike, as the future of his nation hangs in the balance.

Download or read book Sad Confetti written by Mark Binmore and published by Mark Binmore. This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The older we get the less certain we become. That’s what I feel anyhow. That is why we sometimes feel the need to invent. To take away the doubt. But when I was your age, I was so confident, full of hope about where I was going and what I was going to do. Now the season fades somewhat, But this is not your fault my dear. Don’t feel disillusioned, doubts will come later.' Set in one of the last great villas on the French Riviera, in cosmopolitan London, and in the home of a landed German family within the shadow of the wall, Sad Confetti is a heart-felt tale of mature and immature love. A small group of people come together by chance, link, hold, and finally break away. The elegant well-born English hosts, the fabulous Betty and husband, army-mad military historian Archie. Both ageing, aware, alone, vulnerable, dissatisfied. The young visitors Liza, a cabaret crooner, trying to distance herself away from her German heritage. And Lee, who had worked as a model for publications of a dubious nature. Both desperately in love, both eagerly exploring, both drifting their way together. But there are secrets. There are always secrets. All are caught up in the potent chemistry of their meeting as the mid-summer picnic ends, leaves fall, the yacht sails away and the garden voices fade.
Download or read book Welcome to My Realm Words of a Man Raised in An Urban Jungle written by William Dennis and published by 1209 Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child of the treacherous foster care system who beat the odds to become a corporate magnate, William Dennis has dismissed the notion that Black men are unable to show their proverbial scars. Eloquently using poetry to symbolically paint images of the Black man’s socially pervasive problems, he addresses concerns that many have tried to hide. One must purchase this book and see for themselves as words cannot describe the labor of love combined with audacious sincerity that is seen in each poem. This is not just a statement; it is true! You can give this book to anyone you love. That means brother, sister, father, mother, friend, teacher or that little Black boy lost in a cycle of despair. Welcome to My Realm: Words of a Man Raised in an Urban Jungle candidly educates us about the trials and tribulations of Black men and facilitates a discussion based on healing. Though William intentionally addresses Black men, the book of poetry can serve as a guide to any person regardless of race

Download or read book Echoes of a Forgotten Presence written by Mark Dickens and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of ten articles published between 2009 and 2016 by Mark Dickens on the Assyrian Church of the East in Central Asia, along with a new article on Mar Yahbalaha III, the only Turkic patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East. Most articles deal with the textual evidence for Syriac Christianity in Central Asia, including six on Christian manuscript fragments from Turfan (China) and two on gravestone inscriptions from Semirechye (Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan). As the volume title indicates, these articles remind us of the centuries-long presence of the Assyrian Church of the East at the centre of the Asian continent, now all but forgotten due to the general scarcity of sources from which this history can be reconstructed.
