Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm Just Dead, I'm Not Gone chronicles Jim Dickinson's extraordinary life in the Memphis music scene of the fifties and sixties and how he went on to play with and produce a rich array of artists, including Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Duane Allman, Arlo Guthrie, and Albert King. With verve and wit, Dickinson (1941–2009) describes his trip to Blind Lemon's grave on the Texas flatlands as a college student and how that encounter inspired his return to Memphis. Back home, he looked up Gus Cannon and Furry Lewis, began staging plays, cofounded what would become the annual Memphis Blues Festival, and started recording. The blues, Elvis, and early rock 'n' roll compelled Dickinson to reject racial barriers and spurred his contributions to the Memphis music and experimental art scene. He explains how the family yardman, WDIA, Dewey Phillips, Furry Lewis, Will Shade, and Howlin' Wolf shaped him and recounts how he went on to learn his craft at Sun, Ardent, American, Muscle Shoals, and Criteria studios from master producers Sam Phillips, John Fry, Chips Moman, and Jerry Wexler. Dickinson is a member of the Mississippi Music Hall of Fame and an inaugural inductee of the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Engineering and Production from the Americana Music Association, a Brass Note on the Beale Street Walk of Fame in Memphis, and a Heritage Marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail. This memoir recounts a love affair with Memphis, the blues, and rock 'n' roll through Dickinson's captivating blend of intelligence, humor, and candor.

Download or read book My War Gone By I Miss It So written by Anthony Loyd and published by September Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Undoubtedly the most powerful and immediate book to emerge from the Balkan horror of ethnic civil war' Antony Beevor, Daily Telegraph In 1993, Anthony Loyd hitchhiked to the Balkans hoping to become a journalist. Leaving behind him the legends of a distinguished military family, he wanted to see 'a real war' for himself. In Bosnia he found one. The cruelty and chaos of the conflict both appalled and embraced him; the adrenalin lure of the action perhaps the loudest siren call of all. In the midst of the daily life-and-death struggle among Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslims, Loyd was inspired by the extraordinary human fortitude he discovered. But returning home he found the void of peacetime too painful to bear, and so began a longstanding personal battle with drug abuse. This harrowing account shows humanity at its worst and best. It is a breathtaking feat of reportage; an uncompromising look at the terrifyingly seductive power of war. 'As good as reporting gets. I have nowhere read a more vivid account of frontline fear and survival. Forget the strategic overview. All war is local' Martin Bell, The Times

Download or read book Gone but Not Forgotten written by William E. Austin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-08 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these tough economical times it has been a popular assessment to try to compare this recession to the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 led the way and by the time dust storms had turned the Farm Belt into the Dust Bowl hundreds of thousands of Americans were hungry, homeless, and barely alive. At the end of it all was a war that no one wanted, but everyone was willing to fight. Hitler and his Germans to the east and The Japanese Imperial Army to the west gave Americans a common theme that brought them together to bring this nation from the depths of poverty to the greatest nation on earth. Gone But Not Forgotten is a true story about a man who lived through it all. The starvation and destitute of living with an alcoholic father in The Depression; the terror and inhumane conditions of World War II; the battles with alcohol and malaria that sent his world spiraling out of control; and finally finding peace and salvation through his creator. To live through all of this and still be able to relive these stories at eighty-nine is not only a blessing but is also a miracle. When I first began writing this story I asked my dad if this is going to be a religious book. Before he could answer I realized that any book about my father would have to be a religious book.
