His songs have enriched his life and his life has filled his songs with every emotion dear to the soul. But his deep understanding of sorrow and injustice have not spoiled a single note. He sings to enliven and encourage, to delight and tell tales. He snatches the riches of folksinging from as many sources as he can find and gives them freely and gladly to any audience that cares to listen. Decades of work and travel have made him famous but he remains forever in tune with the folk. He describes his friends and inspirations, his conflicts with the bosses and the government, his favorite songs, stories, and instruments, and the kind of learning that comes from listening carefully" ; Contents: Introduction -- Editor's note -- Part I : Old songs and new people -- A revival of interest in folk music? -- Two American musicians : Who showed us how to combine old and new -- Leadbelly -- Woody -- Some folk roots and protest traditions.

The dust jacket is price clipped and is in a plastic sleeve. Stephen Becker (19271999) was an American author, translator, and teacher whose published works include eleven novels and the English translations of many works, including Elie Wiesel's The Town Behind the Wall and The Forgotten and André Malraux's The Conquerors. After serving in World War II, he graduated from Harvard University and studied in Peking and Paris, where he was friends with the novelist Richard Wright and learned French in part by reading detective novels. The recipient of Paul Harris and Guggenheim Fellowships and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Becker taught at numerous schools throughout the United States, including the University of Iowa, Bennington College, and the University of Central Florida in Orlando. His best-known works include A Covenant with Death (1965), which was adapted into a Warner Brothers film starring Gene Hackman and George Maharis; When the War Is Over (1969), a Civil War novel based on the true story of a teenage Confederate soldier executed more than a month after Lee's surrender; and the Far East trilogy of literary adventure novels: The Chinese Bandit (1975), The Last Mandarin (1979), and The Blue-Eyed Shan (1982). Equally distinguished as a translator, a biographer, a commentator on the popular arts, and a novelist, Stephen Becker brings to his fiction a breadth of experience with world culture and human behavior which yields moral complexity and psychological verity in his work. Two major themes intertwine through his novelsthe problems of justice and the necessity for self-knowledge and self-fulfillment. Becker's examination of society's structure and limitations and his portrayal of men seeking "grace under pressure" is a significant contribution to contemporary fiction. The existential premises of the worksindividuals finding meaning inside the arbitrary bounds of social orderreflect our acceptance of the civilization we have built. Derived from a Kirkus review: Becker's triumph in this novel is to show a slice of army life as it might have been and can be in any era for the foot soldiers enduring most of the risk and all of the rules that govern the military. A few pages into the story and you recognize the closing days of the Civil War, when Lt. Marius Catto was seriously, but not fatally, wounded by Thomas Martin, a teenaged Kentuckian who claimed to be a sworn member of Col. Jessee's Confederate raiders. Even Catto believed the boy, although Martin had no papers, no uniform, no arms, and no insignia to identify him as a proper soldier. So regulations defined him as a guerrilla and directed that he be shot. Catto's unit and prisoner Martin were posted to the Cincinnati barracks, where the corruption of systematic inactivity affected Catto's character and was also reflected in the disintegration of his unit which had been an effective team in battle. Martin's case was postponed once at firing squad point, but General Hooker insisted, despite the combined efforts of his staff and especially Catto, that Martin be shot. The letter of the law was carried out and, in brief sketches of the postwar careers of the men involved, Becker shows how crippling was this compliance with printed rules--the failure to allow circumstances to alter cases destroyed them all. Understated irony, characterization through dialogue, and a superb story superbly told.

Production annotations, in manuscript marker and pencil, at bottom of board below the image. Annotations on verso noting, "Van Morrison 'Cover' 1884," in manuscript marker, with the "1884" being the album catalogue number, and "the band + street choir," just below in manuscript pencil. Gahr was a preeminent photographer of folk, blues, jazz, and rock musicians for over four decades, whose subjects include the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, Janis Joplin, Peter Seeger, and many, many others. His work was regularly featured in the seminal rock magazine "Crawdaddy." Building on the critical successes of "Astral Weeks" (1968), and "Moondance" (1970), Morrison's fourth studio LP featured the highest charting single of his career, "Domino." Originally titled "Virgo's Fool, Street Choir," the LP was renamed prior to release, without Morrison's consent, by Warner Brothers. Photograph mounted on board, with a clear acrylic overlay. Original black paper overlay included but not attached. Photograph 13 x 19 inches mounted to board as created, measuring 15.5 x 24 inches. Near Fine.

No Binding. Zustand: Near Fine. Np, [ca. 1964-1985]. Set of five (5) vintage original 10 x 8" (25 x 20 cm.) black-and-white photos.

Overall near fine or better. Ornette Coleman (March 9, 1930 â " June 11, 2015) was an American jazz saxophonist, trumpeter, violinist, and composer. He was best known as a principal founder of the free jazz genre, a term derived from his 1960 album Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation. His pioneering works often abandoned the harmony-based composition, tonality, chord changes, and fixed rhythm found in earlier jazz idioms. Instead, Coleman emphasized an experimental approach to improvisation, rooted in ensemble playing and blues phrasing. AllMusic called him "one of the most beloved and polarizing figures in jazz history," noting that while "now celebrated as a fearless innovator and a genius, he was initially regarded by peers and critics as rebellious, disruptive, and even a fraud."
