| resolute banjo: Boulting's Velosaurus Ned Boulting, 2016-10-20 Find yourself confused, nodding along when a rouleur relates how le biscuit was effrité (crumbled)? How today they’re feeling Angers (past caring)? Fear no more, for Boulting's Velosaurus will illuminate, enlighten and, frankly, mislead. In his Velosaurus, ITV Tour de France commentator and cycling writer Ned Boulting provides the ultimate lexicon of nonsense terminology surrounding the esteemed Tour de France. Featuring essential vocabulary like Alpe (an Alp), panache (riding with doomed flamboyance, conscious of the need to renew one’s contract), moutarde (any race that ends, begins or passes through the city of Dijon) and maillot (a jumper, obviously), Boulting’s Velosaurus is the ideal companion to all things peloton for linguistically-challenged fans of non-automotive two-wheeled sport. 'Deserves to be on any Tour de France fan’s shelf.' Cycle |
| resolute banjo: Building New Banjos for an Old-Time World Richard Jones-Bamman, 2017-09-11 Banjo music possesses a unique power to evoke a bucolic, simpler past. The artisans who build banjos for old-time music stand at an unusual crossroads ”asked to meet the modern musician's needs while retaining the nostalgic qualities so fundamental to the banjo's sound and mystique. Richard Jones-Bamman ventures into workshops and old-time music communities to explore how banjo builders practice their art. His interviews and long-time personal immersion in the musical culture shed light on long-overlooked aspects of banjo making. What is the banjo builder's role in the creation of a specific musical community? What techniques go into the styles of instruments they create? Jones-Bamman explores these questions and many others while sharing the ways an inescapable sense of the past undergirds the performance and enjoyment of old-time music. Along the way he reveals how antimodernism remains integral to the music's appeal and its making. |

| resolute banjo: The Vulture Gil Scott-Heron, 2012-12-04 The legendary poet and musician’s debut novel is “an impressively crafted urban noir . . . like an early forerunner of The Wire” (The Independent). Known as the “godfather of rap” and an innovator of spoken-word soul music with songs like The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Gil Scott-Heron wrote his first novel, The Vulture, while he was still a student at Lincoln University. First published to critical acclaim in 1970, it offers “a fascinating portrait of late 60s New York” with the same heart, wit, and urgent social commentary expressed in his music (Mojo). The Vulture is a hip and fast-moving thriller, set in lower Manhattan. It relates the strange story of the murder of a teenage boy called John Lee—told through the words of four men who knew him when he was just another kid working after school, hanging out, waiting for something to happen. “A tense and intriguing murder mystery.” —Mojo “An artist who has crafted witty but crucial insights for Black America.” —The Washington Post |

| resolute banjo: The classic collection of Sinclair Lewis. Nobel Prize 1930. Illustrated Harry Sinclair Lewis, 2025-04-23 Harry Sinclair Lewis (February 7, 1885 – January 10, 1951) was an American writer and playwright. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States (and the first from the Americas) to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters. He is best known for his novels Main Street (1920), Babbitt (1922), Arrowsmith (1925), Elmer Gantry (1927). n 1930 Lewis won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first writer from the United States to receive the award, after he had been nominated by Henrik Schück, member of the Swedish Academy. In the academy's presentation speech, special attention was paid to Babbitt. In his Nobel Lecture, Lewis praised Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, and other contemporaries, but also lamented that in America most of us—not readers alone, but even writers—are still afraid of any literature which is not a glorification of everything American, a glorification of our faults as well as our virtues, and that America is the most contradictory, the most depressing, the most stirring, of any land in the world today. He also offered a profound criticism of the American literary establishment: Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead. Contents: The Novels Hike and the Aeroplane (1912) Our Mr. Wrenn (1914) The Trail of the Hawk (1915) The Job (1917) The Innocents (1917) Free Air (1919) Main Street (1920) Babbitt (1922) Arrowsmith (1925) Mantrap (1926) |

| resolute banjo: Dust and Diamonds Kristen Rose, 2003-06-23 Dana Hutton thought her life was perfect. She was very wealthy and engaged to marry a famous movie star. She was envied everywhere she went; everywhere, that is, except for the small and sleepy Midwestern town of Riverdale. It was here that she was stranded while on her way west to plan her wedding. Being a lady of high society accustomed to city life, she refused to have anything to do with the unsophisticated farmers that lived in the rural town. She shunned them and their advice, getting herself into a few predicaments in which only they could help her out. Even when she ridiculed and snubbed them, they still helped her. They still cared about her. Why was that? Even when she finally got out of the town, she was still wondering what made the townspeople so different. Why were they so caring? Her journey most certainly doesn't end there. She finds out what overall makes the difference in people's hearts, and why one sleepy little town can draw like a magnet and change the course of a person's life, forever. |

| resolute banjo: Travel and Modernist Literature Alexandra Peat, 2012-03-28 Through close readings of works from Henry James to W. E. B. Du Bois, and from Virginia Woolf to Jean Rhys, this book discusses how fictional travelers negotiate and adapt various tropes of travel (such as quest, expatriation, displacement, and exile) as models for their own journeys. Specifically, Peat considers the ethical dimensions of modernist travel from two distinct vantages. The first focuses on the relationship between the secular and the sacred in modernist travel literature, arguing that the recurrent narrative of secular travel is haunted by a desire for spiritual transcendence. The second posits modernist travel fiction as a potentially positive example of transcultural relations, consciously arguing against the received notion that travel during an imperial era is always by nature itself imperialist. Throughout, particular attention is paid to the transnational nature of modernism and the various global flows traced by modernist literature. |

| resolute banjo: A People and Their Music John Rice Irwin, 2000 The story behind the story of American country music goes back to Appalachian roots and the people who sang for local audiences and early radios in the early 20th century. No matter what you call the songs now--country, folk, traditional, old-time, hillbilly, and bluegrass--it is the music of a special breed of talented people who were part of one of the most interesting musical and entertainment stories in America's history. In their own words and those of family members, these tales relate the hard work, luck, and do-it-yourself independence of the pioneers of this music. Some became household names while others were important but remained almost totally unknown to the general public. Here you meet the Carter family, Jack Jackson, Bob Douglas, Grandpa Jones, Bashful Brother Oswald, Mac Wiseman, Earl Scruggs, Raymond Fairchild, and other greats of the field. Their touching personal stories and 190 photographs showing the artists with their instruments, families, and audiences, bring this musical heritage to life for modern listeners. |

| resolute banjo: The Opportunity to Live Well Paul James, 2017-05-11 What is the greatest, most precious, opportunity that life provides? It is not winning millions in a lottery. Money, fame, intelligence, beauty, a prestigious career, or mere existence will not simply provide us with a good life. We all have the potential to live well, to have a good life, but how can we do so? We can master complex subjects, attain advanced qualifications and demonstrate sound skills; we can become wealthy, and still make a mess of our lives. People can meet the accepted measures of success, yet still not live well. Gough Whitlam, Nelson Mandela, Pete Seeger, Luke Kelly and Ben of Kombi Life are used here to demonstrate the challenges and joyous rewards of living well. They inform, and teach us, that we can also live well when we cultivate awareness; altruism; wholeness of body, mind and spirit; resilience and persistence; passion; empathy; a sense of belonging; personal character; self-knowledge; and life-enhancing habits. |
