Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blues Book of the Year —Living Blues Association of Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence Best Historical Research in Recorded Blues, Gospel, Soul, or R&B–Certificate of Merit (2018) 2023 Blues Hall of Fame Inductee - Classic of Blues Literature category With this volume, Lynn Abbott and Doug Seroff complete their groundbreaking trilogy on the development of African American popular music. Fortified by decades of research, the authors bring to life the performers, entrepreneurs, critics, venues, and institutions that were most crucial to the emergence of the blues in black southern vaudeville theaters; the shadowy prehistory and early development of the blues is illuminated, detailed, and given substance. At the end of the nineteenth century, vaudeville began to replace minstrelsy as America’s favorite form of stage entertainment. Segregation necessitated the creation of discrete African American vaudeville theaters. When these venues first gained popularity, ragtime coon songs were the standard fare. Insular black southern theaters provided a safe haven, where coon songs underwent rehabilitation and blues songs suitable for the professional stage were formulated. The process was energized by dynamic interaction between the performers and their racially-exclusive audience. The first blues star of black vaudeville was Butler “String Beans” May, a blackface comedian from Montgomery, Alabama. Before his bizarre, senseless death in 1917, String Beans was recognized as the “blues master piano player of the world.” His musical legacy, elusive and previously unacknowledged, is preserved in the repertoire of country blues singer-guitarists and pianists of the race recording era. While male blues singers remained tethered to the role of blackface comedian, female “coon shouters” acquired a more dignified aura in the emergent persona of the “blues queen.” Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and most of their contemporaries came through this portal; while others, such as forgotten blues heroine Ora Criswell and her protégé Trixie Smith, ingeniously reconfigured the blackface mask for their own subversive purposes. In 1921 black vaudeville activity was effectively nationalized by the Theater Owners Booking Association (T.O.B.A.). In collaboration with the emergent race record industry, T.O.B.A. theaters featured touring companies headed by blues queens with records to sell. By this time the blues had moved beyond the confines of entertainment for an exclusively black audience. Small-time black vaudeville became something it had never been before—a gateway to big-time white vaudeville circuits, burlesque wheels, and fancy metropolitan cabarets. While the 1920s was the most glamorous and remunerative period of vaudeville blues, the prior decade was arguably even more creative, having witnessed the emergence, popularization, and early development of the original blues on the African American vaudeville stage.

Book excerpt: In this six-eBook bind-up of the complete On the Runway series from bestselling author Melody Carlson, sisters Paige and Erin Forrester find themselves traveling the world for their fashion TV show … but their very different personalities often make each episode an adventure in itself. Contains: Premiere: Paige has always been outgoing and fashion-obsessed, while her sister, Erin, would rather stay behind a camera in comfy jeans and a tee. But after Paige’s fashion “helps” find their way onto the local news, the sisters’ passions collide when they are offered their own fashion TV show. It soon becomes clear this unlikely partnership has plenty of room for success—and even more for failure. Catwalk: The high ratings of the sisters’ On the Runway show lands them a ticket to New York Fashion Week. Paige is determined to get the attention of top designers, but her newfound fame threatens to go to her head. Meanwhile, Erin wants to help promote the work of eco designers, but struggles to be taken seriously. Rendezvous: Paige and Erin are ready to take their show on location to Paris. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for their intentions to get lost in translation. An unplanned week of filming at a model’s family estate leads to romance, jealousy, and surprises. Spotlight: When Paige and Erin head to London, both get a reception to remember. Bombarded by crazed fans and the interrogations of the infamous British paparazzi, the sisters know that their lives have changed—big time. Star treatment has its perks, but before long both girls are stretched to a breaking point. Glamour: Paige’s engagement to designer Dylan Marceau shocks the fashion world. Although Paige appears to be happy, Erin wonders if it’s really just a desire for attention and publicity. At the same time, Erin is feeling pressure from her ex, Blake, to take their friendship to a romantic level. As the sisters prepare to film in the Bahamas, they also must deal with growing turmoil on set. Ciao: A trip to Milan might be the break both Paige and Erin need, but things only seem to get more complicated once they land in Italy. Paige’s on-again, off-again romance with Dylan, combined with a new director for On the Runway, leaves Erin with more work on the show. Just when Erin can’t take any more, she discovers a secret that could crush Paige. And doing the right thing could not only hurt her sister, it might end their show for good.

Whether 'on the beat' or 'as CID', once again Martyn enthralls, surprises and shocks his readers with tales set in an almost forgotten era: a veritable Lost World of people, places and phrases in his beloved Sheffield. Steven Spielberg please note. Who will you meet on the journey? Well, there's the usual myriad of lovable characters, from Big Derek the doorman and Mr Dar the tailor to 'Caribbean-singing Henry' and cross-dressing 'Doreen'; and not forgetting Cecil the resident barman at 'Mucky Mary's'; Marlene the prostitute, and 'old Fred' the tramp. Among the less savoury are Mr Dirty Bastard, Mr Car Thief, Mr Money-grabber aka Nasty Pimp, Mr Sticky Fingers the burglar and Mr Nasty the rapist; and several 'perverts' of the worst kind. As usual, Martyn's down-to-earth honesty and humour shines through the pages; but he never loses sight of the human condition in all its forms: good, bad, sad and happy.
