Book excerpt: "Put me in a car with Bill Sibley on a road trip across the nation and everything will be just fine. His spectacular voice, his aptitude for creating instantly indelible characters in richly funny scenes, his perfect pacing and splendid particularity are dazzling and hypnotic. Storyteller supreme! Here We Go Loop De Loop lifted my mood entirely." - Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People's Poet Laureate, Poetry Foundation"Wonderful example of generous escapism and a book to be recommended."- Kirkus Reviews"A satirical small-town Texas comedy with welcome, surprising heart. Sibley's boisterous comic novel blends small-town satire and humanist warmth as it unspools its tales of isolated people learning to love. His prose is sharp and evocative. At its best, Here We Go... finds these snared coyotes daring to find new ways to love." - Booklife"Larry McMurtry meets A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is Sibley's best yet - a rollicking screwball comedy with a heart as big as Texas."- Steven L. Davis, Author, Past President, Texas Institute of Letters---A cowboy, an heiress, her brother's husband...and a badass 72 Mercury Montego. This is the story of a her loving a him - who's in love with another him - and that other him enduring an unrequited love for the original her. With a small-town Texas appreciation, this book is replete with humor, adversity, and the tenacity of survivors unwilling and unable to acknowledge defeat. Here We Go Loop De Loop by William Jack Sibley has greed, lust, sexuality, spiritual enlightenment, more lust, xenophobia, and the meaning of a life worth living, all woven into a single, outrageous knot in the insulated town of Rita Blanca, Texas. The author, a fifth-generation Texan and a resolute seeker of wisdom, truth, and the occasional virtuosic lie, with humor and reflection, has wrought a story of humanity through characters doing the best they can - just not terribly well.

Download or read book Bestsong written by Scott Perry and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was around 1980 or 1982 that I had a dream or night vision of my standing in the pulpit of the Primitive Baptist Church of Gifford, Florida. In this dream or night vision, I was holding a book in my right hand. The title on the cover page of this book was "Bestsong." The next day, I shared this dream with my wife Helen and said to her, "I got to write a book." A few years later, my wife and I were walking through a parking lot in Fort Pierce, Florida, around two o'clock in the afternoon. A doctor friend of mine and a prophet I had never met was introduced to my wife and me. In shaking my hand, he said to me, "I am a prophet of God, and God said or says to you write that book." My wife Helen laughed and said, "I think you better start writing that book, bud." About two or three weeks later, I had another dream or night vision. In this one, I was standing and looking in front of a jukebox, looking down at a turning or spinning black record. It had the face of a hideous, giggling man in it. As this record played, rays were shooting out from this record. These rays would strike the young listeners in the head. I noticed that as these rays struck the heads of these young people, they would stiffen like they had become zombies. They would walk away from the jukebox and straightaway, go out and perform those evils they had heard coming from these records and the jukebox. A "Bestsong" can be God-inspired or Demon-inspired. A "Bestsong" can be the Almighty God from Heaven, or it can be to the god of this world, Satan. This book is a revelation from God our Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ, our soon-coming King. The ultimate goal of this book is to glorify God and to make one wise unto salvation. Read and be blessed.

Download or read book The Musical Playground written by Kathryn Marsh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Musical Playground is a new and fascinating account of the musical play of school-aged children. Based on fifteen years of ethnomusicological field research in urban and rural school playgrounds around the globe, Kathryn Marsh provides unique insights into children's musical playground activities across a comprehensive scope of social, cultural, and national contexts. With a sophisticated synthesis of ethnomusicological and music education approaches, Marsh examines sung and chanted games, singing and dance routines associated with popular music and sports chants, and more improvised and spontaneous chants, taunts, and rhythmic movements. The book's index of more than 300 game genres is a valuable reference to readers in the field of children's folklore, providing a unique map of game distribution across an array of cultures and geographical locations. On the companion website, readers will be able to view on streamed video, field recordings of children's musical play throughout the wide range of locations and cultures that form the core of Marsh's study, allowing them to better understand the music, movement, and textual characteristics of musical games and interactions. Copious notated musical examples throughout the book and the website demonstrate characteristics of game genres, children's generative practices, and reflections of cultural influences on game practice, and valuable, practical recommendations are made for developing pedagogies which reflect more child-centred and less Eurocentric views of children's play, musical learning, and musical creativity. Marsh brings readers to playgrounds in Australia, Norway, the USA, the United Kingdom, and Korea, offering them an important and innovative study of how children transmit, maintain, and transform the games of the playground. The Musical Playground will appeal to practitioners and researchers in music education, ethnomusicology, and folklore.
