The Broadway revival began previews at the Palace Theatre on February 23, 2009 and opened on March 19, 2009. The production wove Spanish lyrics and dialogue into the English libretto. The translations are by Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. Laurents stated, \"The musical theatre and cultural conventions of 1957 made it next to impossible for the characters to have authenticity. Every member of both gangs was always a potential killer even then. Now they actually will be. Only Tony and Maria try to live in a different world\". In August 2009, some of the lyrics for \"A Boy Like That\" (\"Un Hombre Asi\") and \"I Feel Pretty\" (\"Me Siento Hermosa\"), which were previously sung in Spanish in the revival, were changed back to the original English.

The class of 1836 chose no rings, and the class of 1879 had cuff links in lieu of a class ring. Before 1917, cadets could design much of the ring individually, but now only the center stone can be individualized. One side of the ring bears the academy crest, while the other side bears the class crest and the center stone ring bears the words West Point and the class year. The academy library has a large collection of cadet rings on display. Senior cadets receive their rings during Ring Weekend in the early fall of their senior year. Immediately after senior cadets return to the barracks after receiving their rings, fourth class cadets take the opportunity to surround senior cadets from their company and ask to touch their rings. After reciting a poem known to cadets as the Ring Poop, the senior usually grants the freshmen permission to touch the ring. In 2002, the Memorial Class ring donor program began. Donations of class rings are melted and merged. A portion of the original gold is infused with gold from preceding melts to become part of the rings for each 'Firstie' class.

Located in southern England (possibly Cornwall where the author herself lived, but this is never explicitly stated), Manderley is a typical country estate: it is filled with family heirlooms, is run by a large domestic staff and is open to the public on certain days. In spite of the house's beauty, the main character, the unnamed \"I\", who has become mistress of Manderley, senses an atmosphere of doom about it, due to the death of Max's first wife (the titular Rebecca), and it is hinted that she haunts the estate. Childhood visits to Milton Hall, Cambridgeshire, home of the Fitzwilliam family, influenced the descriptions of Manderley, especially the interior. The adult du Maurier's Cornish home near Fowey, called Menabilly, was influential in her descriptions of the setting. Several years after writing the novel, she leased the manor (1945–1967) from the Rashleigh family, who have owned it since the 16th century.

For several decades she was the most popular author for library book borrowings. The author Sarah Waters states on her website, \"I'd like to have written Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier.

David O. Selznick brought Alfred Hitchcock to the United States in order to give this adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novel the proper atmosphere. The resulting film is a stunning marriage of their sensibilities. It paid off critically and financially as well. Like Gone with the Wind, which Selznick released a year earlier, Rebecca won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Laurence Olivier stars as Maxim de Winter, who, reeling from the recent and unexpected death of his glamorous wife Rebecca, impulsively marries a young and adoring governess (Joan Fontaine). The new Mrs. de Winter tries to fit into her role as mistress of the great house Manderley, but every step she takes is haunted by Rebecca's spirit. The ghost's brooding presence is personified by the insanely meticulous Mrs. Danvers, brilliantly portrayed by Judith Anderson. As Fontaine's character begins to uncover the dark secrets of the de Winter clan, the house seems to take on a life of its own. Passionate love and romance blend seamlessly with typically Hitchcockian emphases on guilt, sexuality, and gothic horror. The production values are stunning and the cast is excellent, down to the least of the supporting players. While Rebecca has enough surprises to captivate even the most jaded of moviegoers, it is also one of those rare films that improves with each viewing. It is an ageless, timeless adult movie. In today's films, most twists and surprises are ridiculous or just gratuitous, so it's sobering to look back on this film where every revelation not only shocks, but makes organic sense with the story line. Laurence Olivier is dashing and weak, fierce and cowed. Joan Fontaine is strong yet submissive, defiant yet accommodating. There isn't a false moment or misstep, but the film must have killed the employment outlook of any women named Danvers for about 20 years.

Scholars and historians have posited numerous interpretations, including that she is Lisa del Giocondo (née Gherardini), the wife of the Florentine merchant Francesco di Bartolomeo del Giocondo, hence the alternative title to the work, La Gioconda. That identity was first suggested in 1550 by artist biographer Giorgio Vasari . Another theory was that the model may have been Leonardo’s mother, Caterina. That interpretation was put forth by, among others, Sigmund Freud , who seemed to think that the Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile emerged from a—perhaps unconscious—memory of Caterina’s smile. A third suggestion was that the painting was, in fact, Leonardo’s self-portrait, given the resemblance between the sitter’s and the artist’s facial features. Some scholars suggested that disguising himself as a woman was the artist’s riddle. The sitter’s identity has not been conclusively proven.

little town of Vinci, near Florence, Italy. His name translates to Leonardo (from Vinci). As a boy he loved to study and draw nature. He had very little formal education but was from a wealthy family. At 15 he worked as an apprentice to a famous Italian artist but Leonardo�s talent soon surpassed him. At 25 he left his mentor and set up his own business. Although we usually think of Da Vinci an artist, the truth his he had considerable talents in almost anything he did. In fact, he was a genius in many subjects. He was an artist, inventor, musician, scientist, mathematician, physicist and botanist. He was so interested in different subjects; painting was not usually his main focus. There are only 17 paintings attributed to him and many of them are unfinished. Leonardo is considered a Renaissance artist. (Renaissance is a time period of great cultural change during Leonardo�s lifetime. An era best known for the renewed interest in science, exploration and the arts of classical Greece.) He painted mostly portraits and religious paintings and used his scientific knowledge to depict nature and to paint realistically. Later in life he became more focused on science and began to keep in-depth journals on various subjects. In these journals historians found plans for a hang glider, a bicycle, parachute and submarine. This is hundreds of years before they were actually created. They also found detailed anatomy sketches that Leonardo made after studying cadavers. His drawings are so exact they are still used in medical schools today. For unknown reasons, Leonardo wrote backwards in these journals so they could only be read if held up to a mirror. This may have been because he was protective of the information he discovered or because he was left handed and didn�t want to smudge the ink as he wrote. No one knows for sure. Artist came from all around to be inspired by his work and the first biography was written about him in 1518, one year prior to his death in 1519. It took Leonardo three years to complete Mona Lisa and once he did, he decided to keep her. He was very proud of this work and carried it with him until his death. After that, it went to the King of France and it now it hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Leonardo died May 2, 1519 and was buried in the palace church in Cloux. Possible Questions: Have you seen a picture of this painting before? Do you know its title? Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. It was probably painted as a commissioned portrait of the wife of a wealthy silk merchant named Giacondo. In Italy the painting is called La Giaconda. What do we call a painting of a person, group or people or animal? A portrait. Where can you find texture in this painting? Texture is one of the elements of art. Actual texture means how something really feels � bumpy, smooth, slippery, soft, etc. Implied texture is what we see in this painting � it means the way an object looks as if it would feel, if you could touch it. Da Vinci did not create actual texture by building up paint. Instead, he used this light and shadow technique to show us the soft texture of velvet, the smoothness of her skin and the rugged terrain behind her. Even the transparent veil that covers her face - can you distinguish it from the texture of her hair? Look at the texture of the skin on her face and hands � how is the texture of her clothes different from her skin? Does the brushstrokes show texture or did Leonardo imply it by using light and shadows? What is the background? Do you think the landscape was real or imagined by the artist? Why? Did the artist use mostly light colors or dark ones? How does that affect the mood or feeling of the painting? Does the painting look realistic, surreal, abstract? Da Vinci is well-known for his Realism (a type of art that shows objects exactly as they appear in life.) Where do you see the most shadowing in the painting? Mona�s face and neck, folds of cloth and her fingers. How do these shadows affect how the painting looks? Mona Lisa is famous for a groundbreaking technique Leonardo used. He decided that people do not come with outlines in real life, so instead of drawing an outline of her shape, he painted her form emerging from the canvas by using a contrast of light and shadow. Look at her hands for example, lines were not drawn between her fingers but created through gradually applying color to form light and shadow. This technique is called Chiaroscuro (key-ah-ross- KYOO-roh) and it made the subject look more realistic and three-dimensional. One of the world�s greatest mysteries is, what was Mona Lisa smiling about? What do you think? Not much is known about her, but there were reports that da Vinci hired jesters and musicians to amuse her as she sat for the portrait. Activity: Satirical/stylized Mona Lisa Portrait Materials needed: Copies of the Mona Lisa �blank� Black construction paper to mount the student�s artwork on when finished Colored pencils Pencils and erasers Funny Mona Lisa PowerPoint or online at: \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.monalisamania.com/artmain.htm\" \u0001\u0014http://www.monalisamania.com/artmain.htm\u0015 Process: Show the students the Funny Mona Lisa PowerPoint or go online to \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.monalisamania.com/artmain.htm\" \u0001\u0014http://www.monalisamania.com/artmain.htm\u0015. Explain how the Mona Lisa is so famous that it is instantly recognizable. She has become a cultural icon or an image that is readily recognized, and generally represents an object or concept with great cultural significance to a wide cultural group. Over the years, people have used this famous painting to show off their own ideas or market their own products. Explain that today we are going to do the same thing. Have the students think about something that they think would be funny � SpongeBob Mona Lisa, Jack o�Lantern Mona Lisa, etc. In order to make sure that others can recognize that they are referencing the Mona Lisa (and not just making a strange portrait of a lady with a pumpkin head, for example) we will carefully copy the body, hand position, and background of the original Mona Lisa. Pass out the Mona Lisa �blanks.� Tell them to use their imagination and draw in their Mona Lisa�s head and face. Use colored pencils to fill in details and colors. Remind the students to title their artwork and to sign their names. Mount the artwork on construction paper, attach the artist information on the back, and hang to display. �Mona Lisa� by Leonardo da Vinci Today in Art Masterpiece we discussed Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci and his most famous painting, the Mona Lisa. The students learned what a portrait is, the difference between �real� and �implied� texture, da Vinci�s �chiaroscuro� style of painting, what satire means, and what a cultural icon is. The students then had a chance to create their own satirical �Mona Lisa� portrait, using their imagination for the head and face, and then utilizing the traditional body position and background to make their portrait recognizable as a �Mona Lisa.�\u0007\u0013 INCLUDEPICTURE \"http://www.bestiphonewallpapers.com/bulkupload/Jan-29c/Fine-Art/Mona-Lisa.jpg\" \\* MERGEFORMATINET \u0014\u0001\u0015\u0007\u0007 �Mona Lisa� by Leonardo da Vinci Today in Art Masterpiece we discussed Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci and his most famous painting, the Mona Lisa.

He wrote in a concise primitive style which was ideal for Tarzan of the Apes. The story is full of flaws but so are those by more acclaimed writers of fiction. It makes a good read and that is what counts. The people criticising the novel are to a large extent imposing their contemporary urban prejudices on a work which was written over a century ago. Edgar Rice Burroughs was confronting the difficulties faced by the noble savage who is raised in a natural environment which would have been common to all humans thousands of years ago, and the artificiality of today's urban civilisations. The few tribes left living in a natural environment such as the Amazon jungle are now faced with extinction because of the destructive money making schemes of our so-called superior way of living. Burroughs defended the American Indian against exploitation years before this was fashionable. Of course the story is impossible but so are the westerns and soap operas that many people today take for reality. The reader should realise that the blacks who are condemned are the ones who kill Tarzan's foster mother Kala. In later stories Tarzan has an equal relationship with black tribes such as the Waziri warriors. More often than not it is the shifty white men who are the enemy. Although there is lots of violence in Burroughs' stories it is not the gratuitous violence common in many of today's films. Today we have torture, lust, drugs, and foul language rampant in the film industry. None of this is characteristic of Burroughs.The main weakness of the book lies in Tarzan knowing how his name would be spelt.

He is presented as behaving ethically, at least by Burroughs' definitions, in most situations, except when seeking vengeance under the motivation of grief, as when his ape mother Kala is killed in Tarzan of the Apes, or when he believes Jane has been murdered in Tarzan the Untamed. He is deeply in love with his wife and totally devoted to her; in numerous situations where other women express their attraction to him, Tarzan politely but firmly declines their attentions. When presented with a situation where a weaker individual or party is being preyed upon by a stronger foe, Tarzan invariably takes the side of the weaker party.

The writers' main fictional character, whom they also named Ellery Queen, is a mystery writer and amateur detective who helps his father, Richard Queen, a New York City police inspector, solve baffling murders.

The last Ellery Queen novel, A Fine and Private Place, was published in 1971, the year of Lee's death. However, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, now published by Dell Magazines, continues as an almost monthly crime fiction magazine as of 2016, publishing ten issues per year including two \"double issues.\"", "precise_score": 1.4757437705993652, "rough_score": 5.056344032287598, "source": "wiki", "title": "Ellery Queen" }, { "answer": "Ellery Queen", "passage": "Pseudonym used by US cousins Frederick Dannay (1905-1982) and Manfred B Lee (1905-1971) for a lengthy sequence of crime-fiction novels and short stories featuring amateur detective Ellery Queen, beginning with The Roman Hat Mystery (1929). For many years these were characterized by rigorously logical deductions and a \"Challenge to the Reader\" to solve the puzzle before the final explanation. Media spinoffs included the syndicated radio show The Adventures of Ellery Queen (1939-1948), its television adaptation under the same title (1950-1952) and the considerably better NBC television series Ellery Queen (1975-1976). Although there is no fantastic content, the Queen franchise has some sf interest because – as with Leslie Charteris – \"Queen\" eventually became a House Name under which several sf authors ghosted novels based on detailed outlines by Dannay. (The Queens' normal procedure was for Dannay to devise the plot and Lee to draft the story, after which both made revisions; ghosted titles were similarly revised.) Theodore Sturgeon wrote The Player on the Other Side (1963). Avram Davidson wrote And On the Eighth Day (1964) – set in an isolated community practising an offbeat Religion – The Fourth Side of the Triangle (1965) and a version of The House of Brass (1968): the last was rejected by the Queens, and the synopsis was expanded by Manfred B Lee as usual.

In earlier novels he is a snobbish Harvard-educated intellectual of independent means who wears pince-nez glasses and investigates crimes because he finds them stimulating. He supposedly derived these characteristics from his mother, the daughter of an aristocratic New York family, who had married Richard Queen, a bluff, man-in-the-street New York Irishman, and who dies before the stories began. From 1938, Ellery spends some time working in Hollywood as a screenwriter (in The Four of Hearts and The Origin of Evil), and solves cases with a Hollywood setting. At this point, he has a slick façade, is part of Hollywood society and hobnobs comfortably with the wealthy and famous. Beginning with Calamity Town in 1942, Ellery becomes less of a cypher and more of a human being, often becoming emotionally affected by the people in his cases, and at one point quitting detective work altogether. Calamity Town, two sequels, and some short stories are set in the imaginary town of Wrightsville, and subsidiary characters recur from story to story; Ellery relates to the various strata of American society as an outsider. However, after his Hollywood and Wrightsville periods, he is returned to his New York City roots for the remainder of his career, and is then seen again as an ultra-logical crime solver who remains distant from his cases. In the very late novels, he often seems a near-faceless, near-characterless persona whose role is purely to solve the mystery.

Many people think their writing is 95% done when the first draft is finished. They think, now I�ll correct spelling, grammar, and typos, read it over and print out clean copy. This is what separates beginning writers from accomplished ones. Accomplished writers see their writing as never finished. Many spend months, years revising. In the work world, several people will read through a draft of a report and the writer will revise it several times before it�s submitted. Ernest Hemingway revised the last paragraph of �A Farewell to Arms� 39 times. Revision means, literally, �re-seeing.� You need to go beyond the surface (mechanics). Rewrite sentences and paragraphs Move words, sentences, paragraphs around Delete whole sections and write new ones Writing Exercise (to be used after lesson for practice revising): Write a paragraph (at least ten sentences on one of the following topics: Your best or worst job Your best friend Your hobby The best meal you�ve ever had Your favorite actor, singer, performer Alternate Writing Exercise Think back to a time that you said something that hurt someone or caused trouble for yourself or someone else. If you had a chance to revise what you said, what would you say differently? Five Step Revision Process (This is an ideal process that rarely, if ever, can be followed exactly.) Analogy: Renovating a building�you don�t paint walls that you�re going to tear down. Read through your draft and revise using each of the following aspects. A two to three page paper can be revised for all of these in an hour. Careful revision is almost sure to raise your grade one level. 1) Ideas Clarify the main idea (thesis) First read through your draft quickly. Without referring back to the essay, try to state your main idea (NOT the topic) Write it out in one sentence Compare it to the existing thesis sentence and substitute the new one if it�s better. * If you had trouble writing your main idea, your paper may not have one clear main idea. In this case, you need to rethink your purpose and decide on a main idea, and then see what parts of your paper support it. 2) Revising Details Read through your draft again this time evaluating the details (are they vivid and convincing?) Make sure each generalization is supported by adding examples, sense details, descriptions, facts. 3) Revise for Order Check the essay�s overall organization. When you revise, think of your reader. You need to guide them through, preparing them for each idea. House tour analogy (�this is the kitchen, here is the family room) Skim the topic sentences Check if each paragraph sticks to ONE idea Check for transitions (Transitions are sign posts that tell the reader where the road is heading) Make sure each sentence points at the same target (idea) 4) Revise for Word Use At this point, you should be done moving paragraphs and sentences around Look small�do you repeat the same words Look for clich�s Did you define key terms Get rid of vague words Vary sentence length (long short, short long) 5) Revise for Mechanics (this may be a step you do after a long break) Remember that errors are ones you make regularly and don�t usually see. Go through your paper searching just for the errors I repeatedly mark on your papers. Be very conscious. Have another reader for this specific purpose Paragraph Exercise Don�t look at your paragraph yet�rewrite the main idea/topic sentence Sharpen the details�make at least two points (sentences) more specific Circle all your transitions and improve the ones that need it (or insert new ones) Improve three word choices and rewrite any clich�s.

His passion for art began as a teenager living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his loving and supporting mother and father. At the age of 20, he made a smart move from Pittsburgh to New York City in order to pursue his dreams of becoming a famous artist. His first stint was as a commercial illustrator for Glamour Magazine. At this point, his name was still Andy Warhola, but when a typesetter omitted the �A�, he didn�t correct it and lived with the name Andy Warhol for the rest of his life. His illustrated art impressed many people, especially with his use of �blotted lines� which gave it a printed, awkward feel. Soon began his rise to fame as the leader of the Pop Art Movement who wore a grey wig. Director Ric Burns does an excellent job of synthesizing footage from Warhol�s life and fascinating interviews with curators and biographers. Biographer John Richardson states that Warhol was an observer rather than a participator in life. He reflects life rather than projecting it. Not surprisingly, he always wanted to be taken seriously which eventually happened with the help of curator Henry Geldzahler. Not everyone understood the genius of Warhol�s work at the time�some critics didn�t appreciate him taking a found image (i.e. of Marilyn Monroe or of Campbell soup cans) and altering it by enlarging it, tracing it and/or coloring it. Ric Burns wisely maintains focus on Warhol�s life rather than going into depth about whether or not his work should be considered art. He also doesn�t spend too much time explaining how he was shot by Valerie Solanis, the founder and sole member of the Society for Cutting Up Men. By the end of this 4 hour-long documentary, you�ll understand how Warhol was an influential artist and an obscure filmmaker who shouldn�t be forgotten.

The book is one of the premier artifacts of the Pop art movement/Pop culture. Warhol followed Ondine around New York City with a tape recorder, recording their conversations. Ondine was addicted to amphetamines and was prone to wild verbal flights that covered many subjects.

Like James Joyce when confronted with transcription errors made by the French printers/compositors of the first edition of \"Ulysses\" (1922), Warhol loved the mistakes and decided to keep them in.

Margaret Forster remarks that “Mitford empathised completely with [Barrett’s] anguish” over Bro’s death and believed that the cocker spaniel would provide, “if not anything as insulting as distraction, an outlet for her distress, [and] some tangible comfort.” 7 In such accounts, Flush becomes a substitute for “the tenderest affection[s]” Barrett received from and showered on Bro: “Even when perfectly aware that she was being faintly ridiculous Elizabeth could not restrain herself: all the demonstrative love of which she was capable gushed out over Flush.” 8 Peter Dally similarly remarks that although her “loss was irreparable” and “no one could take [End Page 93] Bro’s place,” Barrett “now had a companion who spent much of his time on her bed.” 9", "precise_score": -0.05769918113946915, "rough_score": 0.0895778238773346, "source": "search", "title": "Project MUSE - Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Dog Days" }, { "answer": "Flush", "passage": "Critics have found it difficult to appreciate the peculiarity of Mitford and Barrett’s relationship on its own terms, as they themselves have noted, without immediately describing it as transitional; it seems to me that this difficulty is in part because of the prominent role Flush played in their lives. A large percentage of Barrett and Mitford’s correspondence, much to the bemusement and embarrassment of critics and biographers alike, is devoted to the cocker spaniel’s various exploits. These seemingly trivial and superficial discussions do not fit within the current understanding of Barrett Browning as a serious poet and thinker who tackled complex philosophical and social issues. Additionally, the shared pet was often central to female marriages and romantic friendships. The relationships of Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper and of Emma Stebbins and Charlotte Cushman are just two of many in which a pet dog was central. 28 As such, any consideration of the triangulated relationship of Barrett, Mitford, and Flush would detract from the spectacular love story of Elizabeth and Robert with which so much criticism is invested. While the relationship of Mitford and Barrett is certainly not comparable to Bradley and Cooper’s or Stebbins and Cushman’s, it does evince a kind of intense emotional intimacy that has caused some critics at least to pause and note its contours. Martha Vicinus has suggested that “Barrett Browning’s long-standing friendship with Mary Mitford did not threaten the status quo; she could pour her emotions onto paper without any threatening physical proximity.” 29 For Vicinus, in other words, the precariousness of the relationship is measured by its physicality. While Barrett and Mitford’s relationship was largely epistolary, owing to ill health and geographical separation, the difficulty of navigating their “peculiar” intimacy nevertheless persisted.

Through the psychoanalytic conception of substitutive love, intense and sometimes excessively emotional and physical relationships between human and nonhuman animals, and also between women, are understood to be secondary experiences.

Barrett Browning’s notion of supplementarity figures a variety of love relationships as constituting adult experience itself rather than resting stations on the road to maturity and adulthood—a road whose terminus and telos are signified in the cultural imaginary by the term “man and wife.” Indeed, she asks us to see affective relationships—such as the bonds between her and Mary Russell Mitford, between her and Flush, or between her and Robert Browning—not as links in a substitutive chain that goes back to a lost primary love but as stages in a continual process of learning how to feel with and for another. 68", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -9.531041145324707, "source": "search", "title": "Project MUSE - Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Dog Days" }, { "answer": "Flush", "passage": "By the time of her return to Wimpole Street she had become an invalid and a recluse, spending most of the next five years in her bedroom, seeing few people other than her immediate family.

It was only his second attempt at science fiction. Baum's writing attracted legions of fans of all ages, both during and after his lifetime. His work has influenced such writers as Gore Vidal , Ray Bradbury , and Terry Brooks. The Oz series has been continued both officially and unofficially after his death. Frank Joslyn Baum sold the film rights of the first Oz book to MGM in 1934, and Walt Disney soon picked up the rest, unable to secure the original from them, for he, too, had desired to make a film version, as had been done before by Baum himself, Otis Turner , Ray C. Smallwood , Larry Semon , Ethel Meglin , Ted Eshbaugh , and many subsequent to 1939. Ironically, Baum moved to Hollywood at Ozcot to have a quiet place to write, which, of course, resulted in the OFMC. One other notable work by Baum is Tamawaca Folks, a spoof of his vacation town of Macatawa Michigan, taking the name of Michigan author John Esten Cooke and changing it to John Estes Cooke. Baum himself has a supporting role (under a different name) in the novel, which was based on all the vacationers. Baum's health problems limited his life to 63 years, but his literary output was remarkable, though mostly forgotten.

Sarah or “chieftainness,” the feminine of Sar, meaning a “captain” or “commander” is repeatedly used in this sense as a common noun as, for instance, by Isaiah who renders it “queen” ( Isaiah 49:23 ). It has been observed that among ancient Jews there was a sort of a cabalistic translation that “the Hebrew letter yod signifies the creative power of God in nature, while the letter hay symbolizes the state of grace—that state into which Sarah had entered after receiving the covenanted promises.” The promise of ancestorship of many nations came with the change of the name of Sarai to Sarah. “I will bless her and she shall become nations.” She was thus associated with her husband in the great blessing of the covenant whose name was also changed from Abram to Abraham.

Thus, Sarah was to be the princess, not only “because she was to be the ancestress of a great nation literally, of many nations spiritually, but also because the rank and power were to be possessed by her descendants, or rather because the people descended from her were to be ruled over by a regal dynasty, by a succession of kings of their own race and lineage, is derived from her.” In the genealogy of the descendants of Esau, Sarah’s grandson we read, “These are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.” The line of kings descended from Sarah terminated in God’s Anointed One, the Messiah, whose “kingdom is not of this world.” The sacramental name of Sarah, therefore, also symbolizes the spiritual seed, the whole multitude of believers of all nations who are “kings and priests unto God.”", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -8.564931869506836, "source": "search", "title": "Sarah, Sarai, Sara - All the Women of the Bible - Bible ..." }, { "answer": "Sarah", "passage": "Then the personal application of the changed name must not be forgotten.

Such a cross as barrenness inflamed and intensified her pride, and forced her to find a way out of this embarrassment to her husband. “Sarah sacrificed herself on the cruelest altar on which any woman ever laid herself down; but the cords of the sacrifice were all the time the cords of a suicidal pride: till the sacrifice was both a great sin in the sight of God, a fatal injury to herself, to her husband, and to innocent generations yet unborn.”", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -6.873989105224609, "source": "search", "title": "Sarah, Sarai, Sara - All the Women of the Bible - Bible ..." }, { "answer": "Sarah", "passage": "Sarah revealed the sad defect of her qualities when she said to Abraham, “Take Hagar my maid, and let not the promises of God fail through me.

The question, whether the true God could demand a human sacrifice, was settled by the fact that God Himself prevented the completion of the sacrifice; and the difficulty, that at any rate God contradicted Himself, if He first of all demanded a sacrifice and then prevented it from being offered, is met by the significant interchange of the names of God, since God, who commanded Abraham to offer up Isaac, is called Ha-Elohim, whilst the actual completion of the sacrifice is prevented by \"the angel of Jehovah,\" who is identical with Jehovah Himself. The sacrifice of the heir, who had been both promised and bestowed, was demanded neither by Jehovah, the God of salvation or covenant God, who had given Abraham this only son as the heir of the promise, nor by Elohim, God as creator, who has the power to give life and take it away, but by He-Elohim, the true God, whom Abraham had acknowledged and adored as his personal God, and with whom he had entered into a personal relation. Coming from the true God whom Abraham served, the demand could have no other object than to purify and sanctify the feelings of the patriarch's heart towards his son and towards his God, in accordance with the great purpose of his call. It was designed to purify his love to the son of his body from all the dross of carnal self-love and natural selfishness which might still adhere to it, and so to transform it into love to God, from whom he had received him, that he should no longer love the beloved son as his flesh and blood, but simply and solely as a gift of grace, as belonging to his God-a trust committed to him, which he should be ready at any moment to give back to God. As he had left his country, kindred, and father's house at the call of God ( Genesis 12:1 ), so was he in his walk with God cheerfully to offer up even his only son, the object of all his longing, the hope of his life, the joy of his old age. And still more than this, not only did he possess and love in Isaac the heir of his possessions ( Genesis 15:2 ), but it was upon him that all the promises of God rested: in Isaac should his seed be called ( Genesis 21:12 ). By the demand that he should sacrifice to God this only son of his wife Sarah, in whom his seed was to grow into a multitude of nations ( Genesis 17:4 , Genesis 17:6 , Genesis 17:16 ), the divine promise itself seemed to be cancelled, and the fulfilment not only of the desires of his heart, but also of the repeated promises of his God, to be frustrated. And by this demand his faith was to be perfected into unconditional trust in God, into the firm assurance that God could even raise him up from the dead. - But this trial was not only one of significance to Abraham, by perfecting him, through the conquest of flesh and blood, to be the father of the faithful, the progenitor of the Church of God; Isaac also was to be prepared and sanctified by it for his vocation in connection with the history of salvation. In permitting himself to be bound and laid upon the altar without resistance, he gave up his natural life to death, to rise to a new life through the grace of God. On the altar he was sanctified to God, dedicated as the first beginning of the holy Church of God, and thus \"the dedication of the first-born, which was afterwards enjoined in the law, was perfectly fulfilled in him.\" If therefore the divine command exhibits in the most impressive way the earnestness of the demand of God upon His people to sacrifice all to Him, not excepting the dearest of their possessions (cf. Matthew 10:37 , and Luke 14:26 ); the issue of the trial teaches that the true God does not demand a literal human sacrifice from His worshippers, but the spiritual sacrifice of an unconditional denial of the natural life, even to submission to death itself. By the sacrifice of a ram as a burnt-offering in the place of his son, under divine direction, not only was animal sacrifice substituted for human, and sanctioned as an acceptable symbol of spiritual self-sacrifice, but the offering of human sacrifices by the heathen was condemned and rejected as an ungodly ἐθελοθρησεία. And this was done by Jehovah, the God of salvation, who prevented the outward completion of the sacrifice. By this the event acquires prophetic importance for the Church of the Lord, to which the place of sacrifice points with peculiar clearness, viz., Mount Moriah, upon which under the legal economy all the typical sacrifices were offered to Jehovah; upon which also, in the fulness of time, God the Father gave up His only-begotten Son as an atoning sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, that by this one true sacrifice the shadows of the typical sacrifices might be rendered both real and true. If therefore the appointment of Moriah as the scene of the sacrifice of Isaac, and the offering of a ram in his stead, were primarily only typical in relation to the significance and intent of the Old Testament institution of sacrifice; this type already pointed to the antitype to appear in the future, when the eternal love of the heavenly Father would perform what it had demanded of Abraham; that is to say, when God would not spare His only Son, but give Him up to the real death, which Isaac suffered only in spirit, that we also might die with Christ spiritually, and rise with Him to everlasting life ( Romans 8:32 ; Romans 6:5 , etc.).", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -10.021957397460938, "source": "search", "title": "Genesis 23:1 Commentaries - Bible Hub" }, { "answer": "Sarah", "passage": "Abraham got remarried after Sarah died, to Keturah.

There are significant structural differences between Semitic and Indo-European languages, specifically between Aramaic (and Hebrew) and Greek. One significant difference is that the usual word order in Aramaic sentences is verb-subject-object. In Greek, the word order is usually subject-verb-object, as it is in English. In addition, word order is more significant in Aramaic than it is in Greek. In Greek, nouns (and adjectives) have case endings: nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative. The nominative case is the \"subject\" case. The accusative is the \"direct object\" case. The dative is the \"indirect object\" case. The genitive is the \"possessive\" case. (For any grammarians among my readers, I apologize for the preceding gross over-simplification, but this is not a grammar column.) Thus in Greek the function of a word in a sentence is indicated by its case ending. As a result, word order is less significant than in Aramaic or English. For example, in Greek the sentence \"the boy entered the building\" could be stated by putting \"the building\" before \"entered\" and \"the boy\" after \"entered.\" The case endings on \"boy\" and \"building\" would indicate which was the subject and which was the object.

Further, until 1850 Hawthorne was known as a writer of short stories and sketches (a fact that by mid century he was somewhat apologetic for), whereas by 1850 Melville had already written four novels, three of which were quite popular.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -4.926198482513428, "source": "search", "title": "Hawthorne in Salem: Hawthorne and Melville" }, { "answer": "Nathaniel Hawthorn", "passage": "If Melville was supposedly introduced to the works of Hawthorne via Mosses (though we know that not to be the case), he was equally impressed with both The House of the Seven Gables, and The Blithedale Romance, published in 1851 and 1852 respectively, after Melville and Hawthorne had become acquainted. Hawthorne presented Melville with a personal copy of Seven Gables when Melville called at the red house in Lenox on April 11, 1851, and five days later Melville wrote Hawthorne a letter in the form of a book review. Melville finds that this novel, \"for pleasantness of running interest, surpasses the other works of the author. The curtains are more drawn; the sun comes in more; genialities peep out more\" (M Corresp, 185). He recognizes the power in Hawthorne and, again, the depth and ambiguity, comparing the book to a \"fine old chamber, with comfortable furnishings and good wine and food, with a \"dark little black-letter volume in golden clasps\" in one corner \"entitled 'Hawthorne: A Problem'\" (185). He concludes that \"There is the grand truth about Nathaniel Hawthorne. He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes\" (M Corresp, 186).

Vincent's The Trying-Out of Moby Dick for details of the compositional details of Moby-Dick). By the middle of July, 1850, --in other words, one month before meeting Hawthorne for the first time-Melville's book, which seemingly was primarily a whaling voyage, was \"in sight of port\" (Vincent, 35). Then Melville read Mosses from an Old Manse, wrote his famous essay on Hawthorne's book for Literary World, met Hawthorne on the Monument Mountain excursion, and-with Hawthorne as his \"magnet\" (179), as Miller defines the beckoning, moved to the Berkshires in early fall. Reading and writing the review of Mosses, afterward reading Twice-Told Tales, and becoming acquainted with Hawthorne provided \"reinforcement,\" as Arlin Turner phrases it, \"for his own sense of the 'blackness' in human nature\" (217). We don't know just when Melville decided he had to recast his \"whaling voyage,\" but apparently he began his revision in November, 1850, after he had bought Arrowhead in September and spent a month settling in. By December 12 he was hard at work on the revision.

We are reminded that throughout the fall and winter of 1850, and summer of 1851, Hawthorne and Melville were visiting and writing to each other. We recall Melville's letter to Hawthorne of June 29, 1851, when Melville invites Hawthorne to \"Come and spend a day here, if you can and want to . . . . When I am quite free of my present engagements, I am going to treat myself to a ride and a visit to you. Have ready a bottle of brandy, because I always feel like drinking that heroic drink when we talk ontological heroics together\" (M Corresp, 196). And indeed that visit of Melville to the little red farm house took place on August 1, 1851, Hawthorne encapsulating their conversation by writing in his journal: \"Melville and I had a talk about time and eternity, things of this world and of the next, and books, and publishers, and all possible and impossible matters, that lasted pretty deep into the night . . .

Melville, however, came close in some of his works \"to a self-annihilating war with the universe and its creator\" (NH, 227-28).

She read the Young Irelanders' poetry to Oscar and Willie, inculcating a love of these poets in her sons. Lady Wilde's interest in the neo-classical revival showed in the paintings and busts of ancient Greece and Rome in her home.

He also wrote books about Irish archaeology and peasant folklore. A renowned philanthropist, his dispensary for the care of the city's poor at the rear of Trinity College, Dublin, was the forerunner of the Dublin Eye and Ear Hospital, now located at Adelaide Road.

This connection results as much from the lurid details of his life as from his considerable contributions to English literature. His lasting literary fame resides primarily in four or five plays, one of which— The Importance of Being Earnest, first produced in 1895—is a classic of comic theater. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, is flawed as a work of art, but gained him much of his notoriety. This book gives a particularly 1890s perspective on the timeless theme of sin and punishment. Wilde published a volume of poems early in his career as a writer. Some of these poems were successful, but his only enduring work in this genre is The Ballad of Reading Gaol. On a curious but productive tangent to his more serious work, Wilde produced two volumes of fairy tales that are delightful in themselves and provide insight into some of his serious social and artistic concerns. His significant literary contributions are rounded off by his critical essays, most notably in Intentions (1891), and his long soul-searching letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, De Profundis, written in 1897 from Reading Gaol.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -1.3063775300979614, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wild", "passage": "Some of these early poems—\"Panthea,\" for example—are, as one would expect from a young aesthete, poems that extol pleasure and sensation: \"to feel is better than to know.\" Epifanio San Juan, in The Art of Oscar Wilde, summed up the argument of \"Panthea\": \"Let us live pleasurably since the gods are indifferent.\" But other poems—\"Helas\"and \"E Tenebris,\" for example—strike a contrary note of moral awareness and even remorse. In \"E Tenebris\" the poet states: \"And well I know my soul in Hell must lie/If I this night before God's throne should stand.\" As Philip Cohen noted in The Moral Vision of Oscar Wilde, this moral strain is paradoxically woven throughout the fabric of Wilde's work, despite his seemingly definitive statements to the contrary, such as in the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray: \"No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.\" This moralism and remorse receive their fullest expression in the letter from jail, De Profundis. Perhaps the best poems of the 1881 volume are those titled \"Impressions,\" in which \"Wilde attains sharpness and total complexity in the depiction of scenes,\" San Juan remarked. \"Colors, tactile sensations, and a weird 'animistic' vibration characterize physical movements, as in 'Impressions du Matin.'\"", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -1.322400450706482, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wild", "passage": "Wilde's fairy tales deserve more notice than they have generally received. A few of them are minor prose masterpieces, most notably \"The Happy Prince,\" \"The Nightingale and the Rose,\" \"The Selfish Giant,\" and \"The Fisherman and His Soul.\" But they should be taken seriously for another reason as well: they embody some of the conflicts and themes that run throughout Wilde's work. \"The Happy Prince\" stresses the importance of giving of oneself, even of making the ultimate sacrifice, in order to ameliorate the conditions of the poor. This message foreshadows some of Wilde's ideas in his later work The Soul of Man under Socialism. \"The Nightingale and the Rose\" deals in a similar way with giving, but here the emphasis is on the need to sacrifice for love. Wilde's love of beauty and his conception of its fleeting quality find expression in this story of a nightingale who sacrifices its life to produce the perfect rose. In the story's final satirical twist the beautiful rose is rejected because it does not match the color of a young girl's dress. In Oscar Wilde, Robert K. Miller declared that this ironic turn reveals Wilde's \"ambivalence toward love\" that is \"related to his ambivalence about women.\" In \"The Selfish Giant\" the title character overcomes his selfishness toward children and thus serves as an allegory of Christian redemption. The imaginative sympathy of the giant is similar to that which Wilde ascribes to Christ in his later work, De Profundis. \"The Fisherman and His Soul,\" from the second volume, is the most complex of Wilde's fairy tales; it was described by John A. Quintus in Virginia Quarterly Review as \"another treatment of the doppelgänger theme in which the body and the soul are separated, as they are in The Picture of Dorian Gray.\" In a reversal of the usual situation in which the body corrupts the soul, the Fisherman's soul—which the Fisherman has dispensed with so that he can love a mermaid—tempts his body to sin and through the resultant suffering body and soul are reunited.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -4.042776107788086, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wild", "passage": "At the time he was writing The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde became friendly with Robert (\"Robbie\") Ross, whom he had first met in 1886 at Oxford and who later served as Wilde's literary executor after faithfully standing by him through Wilde's trials and the horrors of Wilde's two years in prison. H. Montgomery Hyde, in Oscar Wilde: A Biography, cited \"strong grounds for believing that it was with [Ross] that Wilde first deliberately experimented in homosexual practices.\" Ross kept Wilde apprised of all the literary gossip, and when Dorian Gray appeared in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890, Ross wrote the following to him: \"Even in the precincts of the Savile nothing but praise of Dorian Gray, though of course it is said to be very dangerous. I heard a clergyman extolling it, he only regretted some of the sentiments . . . as apt to lead people astray.\" Most of the reviews of the novel were hostile because of the book's supposed perversity and immorality. A particularly scathing attack in The Scots Observer made a veiled reference to Wilde's homosexuality and suggested he take up tailoring or some other \"decent\" trade. For the novel's hardcover edition, published the following year, Wilde made some changes, most important of which was the addition of six chapters and the famous epigrammatic preface.

Salomé moves forward largely on the basis of ritualistic repetition and a unifying pattern of imagery. Richard Ellmann, in Oscar Wilde: A Collection of Critical Essays, described this unity as \"the extreme concentration upon a single episode which is like an image, with a synchronized moon changing color from pale to blood-red in keeping with the action, and an atmosphere of frenzy framed in exotic chill.\" Salomé is Wilde's most completely decadent work. While the play exhibits a few traces of a moral point of view—Jokanaan's rejection of Salomé and Herod's fearful conscience at the end—the dominant impression is one of macabre beauty, and the climax is reached when Salomé's kisses the bitter lips of Jokanaan's severed head. This impression was undercut for critic Alan Bird, who, in The Plays of Oscar Wilde, contended that even in this play Wilde's wit shows through: \"Yet the reader (or audience) can never escape the uncomfortable sensation that the author is actually parodying the action, the words, the characters, the whole ensemble of the drama.

Perhaps Freedman was correct when in The Moral Impulse he described the play as \"an account of the search of several young persons for meaning in a society extraordinarily reluctant, even impotent, to assign importance to anything except the superficial.\" However, the second part of this statement is much easier to accept than the first part, because the young people participate in this farcical society, and they live by its rules—or break them in acceptable ways.

Richard Ellman, in his introduction to The Artist as Critic: Critical Writings of Oscar Wilde, placed him at the end of a clear progression of English critics from Matthew Arnold to Ruskin to Pater. Wilde clearly had Arnold in mind in \"The Critic as Artist,\" when he turned upside down his predecessor's famous dictum that the function of criticism is to see the object as it really is: Wilde would have it that \"the aim of the critic is to see the object as in itself it really is not.\" This is no mere playing with paradox for Wilde, because this whole essay strives to show that criticism is creative, that the critic uses the work of art as a jumping-off place for his own imaginative activity. The higher the imagination soars, both from the work of art and from reality, the better the criticism.

Some scholars believe the word was ultimately borrowed from Arabic “siqillat” (fine cloth). The word’s original meaning did not necessarily suggest “bright red” cloth; it covered various other colored fabrics, as well. Scarlet and Scarlett developed as surnames in medieval England derived from an occupation name, i.e., a seller of rich cloth. By the 14th century, however, “scarlet” came to define a specific shade of red rather than “fine cloth”. The notion of scarlet (as in a Scarlet Lady) being “red with shame” is attested from the 14th century, referring to two specific Biblical passages: “And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be as red a crimson, they shall be white as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18); and: “…the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet color, and covered with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her immorality.” (Revelations 17:4). However, it was neither the fine cloth nor the shameful lady that served to popularize Scarlett as a female given name. That credit goes to the author of “Gone with the Wind” (1936), Margaret Mitchell, and her unforgettable central character, Katie Scarlett O’Hara. Mitchell used the middle name Scarlett as the character’s grandmother’s maiden name, but her heroine is always known as Scarlett. The book was such a success and the main character, Scarlett, so lively and dynamic, that the name took on a life of its own. As a name bestowed on baby girls today, Scarlett is most popular in Australia and the United Kingdom, followed by Canada and the United States.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -0.5454259514808655, "source": "search", "title": "Scarlett - Baby Girl Name Meaning and Origin | Oh Baby!

Inevitably, the British beauty, Vivien Leigh, who trumped all those Southern belles for the part, has become inextricably paired with Scarlett in our minds. Headstrong and willful, self-confident, self absorbed and steely- spined, she of the 16 inch waist and the 16 ton ego, Scarlett almost singlehandedly saves her family and plantation from the destruction wrought by the Civil War. She is a pampered Southern belle at the novel’s opening, whose main intent in life is to achieve the love of the quintessential Southern gentleman, Ashley Wilkes. Thwarted in this, her every move is motivated by her single-minded desire to succeed in this impossible (and highly unsuitable) goal. Scarlett, of course, represents the unwillingness of the Old South to let go of its antiquated notions of a way of life. Pulled kicking and screaming into the harsh realities of the war and its consequences, she adapts to the hardships with grim determination. When Reconstruction gets underway, she claims her place in it as well, bartering and compromising with the Yankees to suit her own ends. Throughout all this she bears her ill-placed love for Ashley as a beacon in the dark, always striving to make it to the other side of adversity with him as her prize. Finally, she loses what remnants of her mother’s gentility she had clung to, and recognizes with an unsettling insight that it is Rhett Butler all along who had been right for her. Charmingly opportunistic and irreverently seductive, Rhett nonetheless harbors a reluctant instinct to do the right thing. By the time Scarlett has her epiphany, Rhett has run out of patience for the game. Our heroine, undaunted as ever, declares tomorrow to be another day and we know she will survive. Dreamy-eyed teen-aged girls who first encounter Scarlett firmly believe that such an outcome is inevitable. Older, wiser women know otherwise.

The word Mandrake is not unique to the King Features character, and MandrakeSoft appealed the decision. However, the Linux-tool Lothar which was developed in a project sponsored by MandrakeSoft also has a name inspired by the comic strip, where Lothar is the longtime friend of Mandrake the Magician. The use of a magician's top hat and magic wand in images and logos also showed that MandrakeSoft wanted to associate the name with a magician and not (for example) the mandrake root. Consequently and due to the acquisition of the Linux company called Conectiva, MandrakeSoft and its product have changed names to Mandriva and Mandriva Linux respectively.", "precise_score": 2.0718343257904053, "rough_score": 4.470052719116211, "source": "search", "title": "Mandrake the Magician - Superhero Wiki Encyclopedia" }, { "answer": "Lothar", "passage": "Leon Mandrake, the stage magician, who was known for his top hat, pencil line moustache and scarlet-lined cape, was the basis for the strip.

A or B - Confirm choices. Start - Starts the game. Select - Not used. ############################################################################### (C) THE GAME ############################################################################### There isn't really much to say, the game is based on the Jeopardy! TV gameshow. The only preparation you can have is to know your trivia really. Of course an accepted way to play the game is to pick a category that you are comfortable with and start from the lowest dollar (easiest) answer, and work your way down to the harder ones. Of course the game has a lot of questions to do with the united states so if you don't live there then you probably won't do as well. In addition to the U.S. content there are also a number of questions that deal with events and things of the eighties, so if you weren't raised in that time period you probably won't do well. Also many questions are asked multiple times in varying ways and some categories appear more than once with different questions. Like the TV show there is also a daily double square hidden randomly on the game board in both of the first 2 rounds. If you find it, you have a chance to double your money. You enter your wager and then enter your question. If you don't have any money then you can pick a $ value from the board to wager. Just like the TV show you lose money for incorrect replies, so don't buzz in if you really don't have a clue. You can play the game VS the computer, or with 1-2 other human players. There are also three difficulty settings, which basically decide how hard the computer players are, and also how much time you have to enter the question. You get 50 seconds on easy, 45 seconds on normal, and 40 seconds on hard. ############################################################################### (D) ANSWERS ############################################################################### Bricklayer J. Gastronomy Here are the questions to all of the answers in the game. The setup isn't completely random, you will always have the same group of 6 categories together in a round. These groups apply to round 1 or 2 of the game. I have grouped the categories accordingly. Also in each group the questions will always be in this order, with the smallest $ value question at the top. An important side note: USE THE FIND FUNCTION (CTRL+F) to find the category that you're having trouble with instead of scrolling through everything. -------- GROUP 01 -------- Category: PSYCHIATRY A - IT IS THE ORGAN OPERATED ON IN A LOBOTOMY Q - WHAT IS THE BRAIN?

There are also many books and films dedicated to the Holocaust and important battles. We also hear about soldiers and their leaders while they were on the battlefields, but not much has been noted about their time as prisoners of war. Michael McNallys Colditz: Oflag IVC chronicles the history of the castle of Colditz, known as Oflag IVC during WWII, which was used as a prison for soldiers and military leaders who were captured by the Nazis. The castle gets its name from the town where it stands (Colditz), located near Leipzig. It was built in the middle of the 11th century, was enlarged as time passed, and became a royal residence by the 1600s. Before it became a prison camp in 1933, it served as a poorhouse and a mental asylum, and a hospital and nursing home soon after the war ended. McNally describes how the supposition that the castle was impossible to escape was undermined by prisoners of warmen from France, Poland and Great Britain among othersand illustrates how they coordinated some of the most memorable and ingenious escape schemes. One such memorable escape plan, known as The Franz Josef Escape, took months of preparation and required one of the prisoners to impersonate Fritz Rothenberger, one of Oflag IVCs leading commanders. This book is an ideal read for anyone: from history buffs who would like to learn more about this often overlooked aspect of WWII, to those who would simply like to expand their knowledge of WWII history. The book features color and blackandwhite photographs of the castle and its prisoners. There are also detailed maps and illustrations that depict some of the more important events that occurred in Colditz during this period, and readers what the castle looked like when it was first built in the 11th century. The castle still stands today and is known as the Escape Museum. The part of the castle which was known as the Kommandatur (German quarters) during World War II is now a youth hostel and a vacationers hotel. In the closing chapter of his book, McNally offers useful information on how to get to the museum for those who would like a first hand experience of Colditzs long and rich history.", "precise_score": 4.2668256759643555, "rough_score": 3.5887436866760254, "source": "search", "title": "Colditz: Oflag IV-C (Fortress) Book Download Online ..." }, { "answer": "Colditz", "passage": "Item Description: Falcon Press, London., 1946.

When McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Roosevelt became the youngest man ever to become president. (He was 42.) He served two terms, built up the Navy, used \"battleship diplopmacy\" to create an independent Panama and then build the Panama Canal, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905 for helping to end the Russo-Japanese War, designated dozens of national forests, parks, and monuments, and strengthened the executive branch through his progressive agenda and the sheer force of his personality.

In other areas he also sought a postal savings system (to provide competition for local banks), and he asked for campaign reform laws.

These are the only recordings the Bee Gees themselves have no creative control over, and Festival has used this to great advantage, licensing the rights to these songs throughout the world. Polydor had a brief license to distribute these in the three-volume \"Rare, Precious and Beautiful\" series back in the late 60's. Some Australian demos, such as \"Top Hat\" and \"I'll Know What To Do\", are truly rare. Other recordings, especially singles such as \"Claustrophobia\" and \"Spicks and Specks\", seem to be on every record rack in town. There are a total of sixty Bee Gees songs from the Australian era. The following list of albums provides a partial sampling of the many reissues of these classics. Rather than offer a separate track listing of each of these albums, all sixty songs are listed below, with cross-references to the various albums on which the songs appear.

You're the reason [07-08] Note: The album and single versions of \"Monday's Rain\" feature two entirely different vocals on the recordings. Among the several differences, the easiest to note is that the first chorus of the album version begins \"Don't let me down...\", while the single version has \"Don't go away...\". The vocal style on the second verse is also notably different. On the single version, it is unmistakably sung by Barry. The album version, by contrast, is quite mistakable indeed... ;-) Sincere thanks to Joe Brennan for his web site, which provided track listings for the old LPs. Also, I wouldn't have known about the two \"Monday's Rain\" versions if he hadn't told me. Once you know about it, of course, it's easy to spot.

Label: ARISTA Cat #: ARCD - 8551 [1979] Chicago - Hot Streets If you've bought everything else on this list, but find that you still have money to burn, buy this one to hear falsetto Gibb backing vocals on \"Little Miss Lovin'.\" Chicago, incidentally, returned the favor with some horn work on the \"Spirits (Having Flown)\" LP, if I recall correctly. And yes, I suppose somewhere there is a Chicago fan who bought \"Spirits (Having Flown)\" JUST to hear those horns. Go figure.

Cat #: 26280-2 [1993] Jose Y Durval - Todo Por Amor Something was mentioned on the mailing list previously about a Brazilian pop duo, Chitaozinho e Xororo, recording a cover of \"Words\" in Miami with guest vocals by the Bee Gees. Now Joe Brennan has been sent some info on yet another latin cover of \"Words\" with the Bee Gees by Jose y Durval, and Xororo listed as guitarist. Both albums are titled \"Todo Por Amo\". I don't evenPRETEND to know what's going on here, but CompuServe's All-Music Guide (use GO command to GO ALLMUSIC) cheerfully coughed up the catalog number for Jose y Durval, and refused to acknowledge any info for Chitaozinho e Xororo (quite possibly due to a spelling error, I would suspect...). Catalog info for Jose y Durval is as follows: Label: PHILLIPS Cat #: 314-510464-2 [1995] Tapestry Revisited - A Tribute to Carole King performed by various artists (video also available) The Bee Gees sing Carole King composition \"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow\" Label: Lava Records Cat #: 92604-2 [1996] Paul Anka - Amigos According to Grant Walters, \"Barry sings backround vocals with Paul and Anthea Anka on the song \"Yo Te Amo\" (Do I Love You). It's a very light, breezy ballad, and the three voices meld quite nicely. Barry's vocals are mostly falsetto, sung very gently and breathily - but there are times we get to hear that wonderful airy regular voice of his :-) All in all well worth the purchase of the CD.\" Label: COLUMBIA Cat #: CK 91110 [198*] Barbra Streisand - One Voice Barry appears live and sings \"Gulity\" and \"What Kind of Fool\" with Barbra. Also available on video. Label: COLUMBIA Cat #: CK-40788 [199*] Coca-Cola Comercials Our efforts to resolve the cola mystery are finally starting to pay off. Let's follow the trail so far. In the sixties, around 1968 from what I've heard, the brothers wrote and recorded two songs for Coca-cola. It sounds as if Bill Shepherd is doing the orchestrations. I've heard them on tape, but not on any commerical (no pun intended) releases. One jingle is entitled \"Another Cold and Windy Day\". This tune is reminiscent of \"Holiday,\" and features Robin seeking solace to his miserable and unceasing agony in a bottle of sugared phosphoric acid (otherwise known as Coca-Cola). If Tolstoy were to write soft drink jingles, they would sound like this. \"...I turn my face into the sun, the time of winter has begun...\" The other clip is \"Sitting in the Meadow\", which is rather similar to \"Sir Geoffrey Saved the World\". Robin leads on this upbeat tune, with Barry joining in on the chorus. \"Sitting in the meadow, frolic in the grass / Wouldn't you be lazy, everybody asks...\" and so on. I never understood the reason these were made until I took my son to see the \"Turbo Rangers\" movie a while back. Before the movie started, they had a little 90-second music video with some angst-ridden nineties ensemble. It was... a Coca-Cola jingle. Since I go to the movies about as often as an Amish farmer, I don't know how many others of these were made. But it seems entirely possible that the Bee Gees appeared in some such promo as this, to be played in the movie theatres. For you restless collectors out there, perhaps this is yet another thing to keep an eye peeled for. I wonder... But all this aside, the issue has been, where can you buy a CD with these commericals on it? I had heard from others that Coca-cola had (or so they heard) released this as a promotional CD. However, it was conspicuous in its absence at the official Coca-Cola boutique and souvenir-stand near Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. The road next led me to HMV at Herald Square, where I found an import CD called \"Great Cola Commercials - Vol. 2\" (Vox Records, UK) that had jingles from Del Shannon, Johnny Cash and a cast of dozens... but no Bee Gees. So I speculated that there MUST be a Volume One somewhere, another Holy Grail of soda jingles yet to be found. Then we heard from Douwe Dijkstra, in the Netherlands. Douwe read my earlier pleas for assistance, and provided the following: \"The CD that I have is called 'Coca-Cola Comercials.' This is the official title. \"Furthermore in the inlay it says: '65 sensational tracks' and 'things go better with Coke.' \"The only Bee Gees performed track is #37 being the one starting with \"Sitting in the Meadow\" \"In my view there is no \"Great Cola Commercials vol 1\", but #2 is just called #2 because the above mentioned Coca Cola did already exist. \"You can order both CD's from \"Offshore Echoes Magazine\" to be found on http://www.guernseyweb.co.uk/cdjing.html \" So, there you have it. Case closed. Thanks, Douwe!! Now, what's this about Dentyne commercials? ;-) * Guilty Pleasures: The Songs You Hate To Love\" performed by various artists The most disturbing cover art I've ever seen, bar none. Aside from this, the album is noteworthy for its inclusion of rare Gibb composition \"Gilbert Green\" as performed by Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers. LABEL: SONY MUSIC SPECIAL PRODUCTS Cat #: AK-53923 * Roy Orbison - Rare Orbison Vol. 2 Barry Gibb/Larry Gatlin composition \"Indian Summer\" originally came out on the Gatlin Brothers \"Smile\" album in 1985.

Label: MONUMENT Cat #: AK-45404 Also available on: Label: COLUMBIA SPECIAL PRODUCTS Cat #: 45404 SINGLES WORTH FINDING: [1989] One / Wing and A Prayer This is the only US release of the song \"Wing and a Prayer\", a track included on the European \"One\" CD. Label: WARNER [1993] Paying the Price of Love / Decadence The song \"Decadence\" was included on the European \"Size Isn't Everything\" CD, but in the US could only be found on the single. It is a remix of \"You Should Be Dancing\", among other things. The US single also includes three (!) remixes of \"Paying the Price of Love\". Maybe I'm just not into remixes, but I can't help but wonder what inspired the hyper-marketing of so many of these, ESPECIALLY when the perfectly listenable songs \"855-7019\" and \"My Destiny\" were languishing in storage.

This parody album includes tracks \"Meaningless Songs\" and \"Posing in the Moonlight.\" In the interests of justice, let me just mention here that, years later, the brothers Gibb were given a chance to detonate the Hee Bee Gee Bees live at a charity telethon in the UK.

David Garcia writes... The Bee Gees are three brothers: Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb. From 1967 to 1969, they were joined by Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen. In 1970, while Robin pursued a solo career, the album \"Cucumber Castle\" was released with just Barry and Maurice as the Bee Gees. Contrary to popular belief, younger brother Andy Gibb was never a member of the Bee Gees as such, although his brothers lent assistance in songwriting, producing and backing vocals on his three solo albums. The brothers Gibb were born in the Isle of Man, an island located between Great Britain and Ireland. Barry was born on September 1st, 1946. Robin and Maurice, twins, were born on December 22nd, 1949. The family later moved to Manchester, England, where Andy was born on March 5, 1958. According to a 1979 TV Bio, as children the three boys used to perform in Manchester theaters. They called their singing trio \"The Rattlesnakes\", and later \"Wee Johnny Hays and the Blue Cats.\" Their harmonies were so natural that, one day at home, their mother mistook their singing as a radio on in the next room. In 1958 the Gibb family, with infant Andy, sailed to Australia. It was there that the brothers started pursuing professional careers as singers and songwriters. Their father, Hugh Gibb, and been a professional drummer and bandleader in his youth. The brothers' talent caught the attention of a local DJ, and soon they were performing at racetracks, beach resorts, and on local radio and TV broadcasts. Around this time they named themselves the BG's, and later, the Bee Gees. In 1963, Festival Records signed the Bee Gees to their first record contract. Though hits as a group were slow in coming, Barry put his songwriting talents to good use writing for other singers and groups. In 1966 the Bee Gees had their first number one single in Australia, \"Spicks and Specks.\" The following January the Gibb family boarded a ship back to England. The brothers had sent demo tapes to NEMS, the group managing the Beatles. One night Robert Stigwood sat down and listened to a few demo tapes from the pile. He liked what he heard, and wanted to see about signing them up. The 1967 album \"Bee Gees First\" was a tremendous debut success. The first single, \"New York Mining Disaster 1941\", was believed by many to be recorded by the Beatles under a different name. American record executives started using this as a technique to spark interest in the record, saying only that the name of this group began with a \"B\" and ended with an \"S\". With the follow-up success of \"Holiday\" and \"To Love Somebody\", people soon knew quite well who the Bee Gees were. Later that year, the Bee Gees -- now the three brothers and fellow Australians Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen -- recorded the album \"Horizontal\". The single \"Massachusetts\" topped the UK charts. In 1968, the \"Idea\" album soon followed with the classics \"I Started a Joke\" and \"I've Gotta Get a Message To You\". As was often the case with sixties pop groups, the first flash of success soon after brought dissension and clashes of egos -- what Barry calls the \"First Fame\" syndrome. Despite years of performing together as brothers, the sudden rise to fame soon overwhelmed the Bee Gees. In 1969, with the \"Odessa\" album, there were conflicts over the release of \"First of May\" as a single. Robin thought that \"Lamplight\" should be the a-side. Other divisions ensued, and eventually resulted in Robin departing to pursue a solo career. Around this time Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen also split from the band. Robin's solo debut, \"Robin's Reign\", was a modest success in Europe. The single \"Saved By The Bell\" did particularly well in Germany. Meanwhile, Barry and Maurice continued together as the Bee Gees. Their album, \"Cucumber Castle\", also coincided with a UK television special. Soon after, however, Barry and Maurice went their separate ways as well. The reconciliation was a gradual one. Barry once remarked that, if they hadn't been brothers, they probably never would have got back together. The \"Two Years On\" album seemed more like an anthology of three soloists than any sort of group effort. The song \"Lonely Days\", however, did show that they could still work together as a group. On their next album, \"Trafalgar\", the reconciliation process continued. The Bee Gees finally had their first #1 single in the US, \"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart\". The success of this classic showed that the brothers Gibb were far more successful as a group than they would ever be as soloists. As evidenced by the 1972 album \"To Whom It May Concern\", the Bee Gees were now drifting into a musical pattern of soft ballads. The songs \"Run To Me\" and \"My World\" were typical of the group's sound of this time. Eventually the Bee Gees decided to break away from the London scene and start afresh in the United States. In the US, the Bee Gees started in new directions musically. Unfortunately, these new directions were bereft of commercial success. The 1973 album, \"Life in a Tin Can\", saw meager sales of its single, \"I Saw A New Morning\". Finally, when \"Wouldn't I Be Someone\", the single from \"A Kick In The Head Is Worth Eight In the Pants\", failed to climb the charts, the record company chose not to release the album. Soon after this, the talents of accomplished record producer Arif Mardin were brought to the group's assistance. As producer of their next album, \"Mr. Natural\", he helped the Bee Gees to evolve their creativity, \"open their ears\", and explore musical forms quite different from the warm ballads they had grown accustomed to. The \"Mr. Natural\" album turned out not to be the commercial breakthrough the Bee Gees were seeking, but with tracks like \"Heavy Breathing\", \"Dogs\", and \"Charade\", it was obvious that the brothers were finding their way down new paths of songwriting. Around this time their personal lives also began to grow and change. Robin became a father, and so did Barry. In 1975, Maurice re-married. As the brothers were finding their way back to success musically, they were also starting to realize that there was much more to life than just putting another gold record on the studio wall. The following year, Arif Mardin's guidance paid off with the album \"Main Course\", featuring \"Jive Talkin\", \"Nights on Broadway\", and \"Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)\". This rebirth of the Bee Gees was far more intense than anyone had expected. The urban music scene was shifting to R&B Dance, and the \"blue-eyed soul\" of the Bee Gees' \"Main Course\" album fit right in. In 1976, the Bee Gees changed record labels in the US. Now that they were under Polydor, they no longer had Atlantic Records producer Arif Mardin to assist them. In this sense, the \"Children of the World\" album was a true test of their talents: Arif Mardin had brought them this far, now could they continue on their own? The album's first single, \"You Should Be Dancing\", quickly rose to success as the dance clubs latched onto its intense rhythms and falsetto harmonies. Among the trendy night clubs and discotheques, the song became an anthem. Other songs from the album, \"Boogie Child\" and \"Love So Right\", also did well. Work began on the next studio album. The Bee Gees relocated to the Chateau D'Heuroville studio in France. Sometime soon after, Robert Stigwood, their manager, called them to request some songs for a movie soundtrack. He described the film he was producing, some low budget dance movie set in Brooklyn. He persuaded the brothers to give him the songs that were already recorded for their next album. This project eventually became the film \"Saturday Night Fever\". Having thus been relieved of their entire studio album, the Gibb brothers now spent some time mixing the tracks for the live double-LP, \"Here At Last... Bee Gees Live!\" Soon after, though, Robert Stigwood called again -- this time about yet another film. Now Robert wanted the Bee Gees to work as supporting actors in a musical, a film that would weave Beatles songs into a story about Sgt. Pepper and a mythical place called Heartland. Peter Frampton would be assigned the lead role, and the Bee Gees would be cast as the Henderson brothers. The film would be called, of course, \"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.\" In late 1977, while the Bee Gees were filming \"Sgt. Pepper\", the film \"Saturday Night Fever\" was released. Three songs from the soundtrack -- \"How Deep Is Your Love\", \"Stayin' Alive\", and \"Night Fever\" -- instantly climbed to the top of the singles charts. The soundtrack album stayed at #1 for 24 weeks, becoming the top selling album up to that time, and remains even now the best selling soundtrack album in history. While all this took place, the brothers saw changes on the set of the \"Sgt. Pepper\" film. They had been sharing a trailer; now they each had a private trailer of their own. People who had previously ignored them were now far more deferential. With the astounding success of the \"Saturday Night Fever\" soundtrack, suddenly these three nameless supporting actors were central to the film. It's a wonderful feeling, of course, to be the sudden center of attention on a movie lot. Except, in this case, the movie was looking less and less promising each day. In stages, the Bee Gees began to realize that their movie debut, arriving at the pinnacle of their success as a music group, was destined to be a hideous waste of film. \"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band\" was a bomb in the making, and the Bee Gees wanted out. On three separate occasions, the brothers literally begged Robert Stigwood to take them out of the film. But it was, of course, too late for that. So, they carried on as best they could and hoped the damage to their careers would be minimal. In the end, their musical careers emerged relatively unscathed. It was, however, the end of their acting careers. At the time, it was rumored that Barry was being considered for the role of Che Gueverra in Robert Stigwood's film version of \"Evita\". As it turned out, the film \"Evita\" ended up being postponed for nearly two decades, by which point the opportunity had passed him by. As for the film \"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band\", although the brothers' predictions of cinematic disaster proved correct, they did manage to pull a nice single out of the soundtrack: Robin's version of \"Oh, Darling\", the only Bee Gees' hit song that they didn't write themselves. Whatever the public thought of the film \"Sgt. Pepper\", the Bee Gees were to be more permanently linked with a movie they had never even appeared in: \"Saturday Night Fever\". Before the release of \"Fever\", disco was gaining some airplay, but merely as another of many forms of popular music, and disco clubs were something most people only read about in \"New York\" magazine. The film \"Saturday Night Fever\" changed all that. Now discos were not just for the urban trendsetters. Suddenly you had assistant managers of suburban tub and tile outlet stores wearing leisure suits and gold medallions on Saturday nights. Dance instruction studios were overwhelmed with requests to \"teach me to dance like Travolta\". Songs like \"Disco Duck\" and \"Macho Man\" crowded established rock acts off the airwaves. During this time the Bee Gees were a constant presence. At one point, Gibb compositions held all the top five slots on Billboard's top ten. This sort of success naturally evokes a wide span of reactions, ranging from blind imitation to outright resentment and loathing. In the midst of all the excitement, while Rod Stewart released his disco hit \"Do You Think I'm Sexy\" and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones worked on his \"Emotional Rescue\" falsetto, others began to rebel, and the anti-disco backlash began. Looking back, it was both unfortunate and unfair that the Bee Gees were blamed for disco. Had the movie \"Saturday Night Fever\" never been made, and those same Gibb compositions made their way to the Bee Gees' next studio album as originally planned, the whole \"disco fever\" travesty might have been avoided. Ultimately, disco was as much a fashion trend as a music trend, and the fashion industry found \"Saturday Night Fever\" to be a convenient infomercial. The irony in all this was that the Bee Gees didn't dance, didn't wear leisure suits, and didn't even particularly like dance movies like \"Fever\". They've always characterized their music as \"Blue-Eyed Soul\", and whether people danced to it or not was pretty much beside the point. They took pride in their songwriting craft, not in the merchandising of garish disco lifestyles. With their next studio album, \"Spirits Having Flown\", they sought to provide more variety. The lead single, \"Too Much Heaven\", was a slow ballad, not a disco dance tune. The \"Spirits Having Flown\" album had a variety of musical styles, from the Caribbean feel of the title track to the smoky nightclub sound of \"Stop, Think Again.\" Nearly all the songs were sung in falsetto vocals, however, and \"Tragedy\", the second single, was undeniably disco in style. The album sold well, and the Bee Gees easily filled football stadiums in their 1979 concert tour. One of the fans at Dodger Stadium that night was singer Barbra Streisand. She asked the brothers to work with her on her next album. As Barry started production of Barbra's \"Guilty\" album, Maurice produced the LP \"Steppin' Out\" for the Osmonds. During this time, new Bee Gees compositions went to Barbra's album, and also to Jimmy Ruffin's \"Sunrise\" album, which Robin was producing. Barbra's \"Guilty\" album netted three top singles in 1980, and has been the most successful album of her career. Now work began on the Bee Gees' next studio album. In many ways, the \"Living Eyes\" album was unlike all their other recent work. \"Spirits Having Flown\" had a falsetto lead on every track but \"Until\"; \"Living Eyes\" avoided falsetto leads on every song but \"Soldiers\". Not only were the pulsating rhythm sections of \"Children of the World\" gone, but the backup trio of Alan Kendall, Dennis Bryon and Blue Weaver were all replaced by session musicians halfway through the production. One song, \"Be Who You Are\", even had a long symphonic introduction with a full orchestra. Unfortunately, 1981 was not a good year for the brothers Gibb. The disco backlash was causing radio stations to avoid any new vinyl by the Bee Gees. In the meantime, punk rock and new wave groups were defining the sound of the 80's. Looking back on these days, one journalist remarked \"...the Bee Gees were trying to be the Bee Gees at the same time that the Sex Pistols were being the Sex Pistols.\" In the meantime, their record label, RSO, was in turmoil. Changes at the top and financial chaos clouded the release of \"Living Eyes\". The pages of Rolling Stone carried, not Bee Gees album reviews, but news of lawsuits and audits. So it was that the rock press barely noticed when, in the wake of six consecutive number one hits, \"He's A Liar\" floundered on the singles charts. There might be an article or an interview somewhere that explains what happened next. If so, I have yet to find it. It's easier to say what didn't happen. The Bee Gees didn't release any more studio albums. They didn't go on tour. They didn't work with their former back-up band of Kendall, Bryon and Weaver. They didn't stay with RSO. Instead, for the next six years their efforts would be divided between writing and producing for other artists and working on their own occasional solo projects. To make an unfortunate comparison, the Bee Gees became the three artists formerly known as the Bee Gees. The lone exception to this period \"in exile\" was the soundtrack to the movie \"Stayin' Alive\". Sylvester Stallone was hired to direct this sequel to \"Saturday Night Fever\". Looking at the film, it is obvious that this was a work crafted in Stallone's own image. Even John Travolta ended up looking like Rambo in Spandex. In directing the film, Stallone was at least somewhat obligated to include Bee Gees songs in the soundtrack. But most of the emphasis was given to the music of Frank Stallone, the director's brother. In contrast, some songs the Bee Gees wrote were faded out abruptly in the middle of a verse. In any case, both the film and the soundtrack album failed to measure up to the original. In between \"Living Eyes\" and the \"Stayin' Alive\" film, Robin released his solo album \"How Old Are You\" on the Polydor label. This album was produced by Robin and Maurice, and all the compositions were by the twins, including the single \"Juliet\". The album and single did well in Germany, but were scarcely noticed in the US. Barry's absence from the album was easily explained: he had just finished producing Dionne Warwick's \"Heartbreaker\" LP, and was about to begin production of \"Eyes That See In The Dark\" for Kenny Rogers. Both of Barry's projects were co-produced by Karl Richardson and Albhy Galuten, and consisted of songs written by the Bee Gees, and occasional co-writing by Albhy Galuten. The next Bee Gees success was to come in under the radar. \"Islands In the Stream\" was a huge country hit for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It also crossed over and dominated mainstream pop radio -- one of very few country duets to ever do so. In all the excitement, people didn't seem to notice who wrote the song. The biggest country hit of 1983 was written by the same composers who wrote the disco anthem \"Stayin' Alive\" -- the Bee Gees had made a most remarkable transition in their songwriting, and hardly anyone seemed to realize it. As if to emphasize the point, the Bee Gees now started another transition. They began work on an R&B comeback album for Motown diva Diana Ross. \"Eaten Alive\" and the single \"Chain Reaction\" gave Diana Ross her first major chart success in the UK. In the wake of \"Saturday Night Fever\", the Bee Gees had proven their worth as songwriters and producers with both country music and Motown style R&B... but at the same time their own solo careers were going nowhere. Robin had a brief hit with the \"Secret Agent\" album's single \"Boys Do Fall In Love\", but his followup album \"Walls Have Eyes\" failed to attract listeners. EMI later blamed this on internal changes at the record label. At the same time, Barry's solo debut \"Now Voyager\" was unable to spark excitement with record buyers. While \"Shine Shine\" did find its way into the top 40, it was quickly forgotten along with the album. A second solo album, \"Moonlight Madness\", was instead diverted to the soundtrack of the film \"Hawks\", a British comedy-drama starring Timothy Dalton and Anthony Edwards. In 1987, Arif Mardin and the brothers Gibb set their sights on a renewal of the Bee Gees' career as recording artists. The \"E.S.P.\" album brought the single \"You Win Again\", a #1 success in several countries. The USA, however, wasn't one of them. Following the tragic death of younger brother Andy Gibb in 1988, the Bee Gees started to seriously re-evaluate their careers. Trying to make sense of the tragedy, they also began to feel a need to truly dedicate themselves to what they've always done best: songwriting and performing. Regardless of what the radio stations thought about the Bee Gees, they would be heard. The 1989 album \"One\" brought the brothers success on both sides of the Atlantic. \"Ordinary Lives\" was the featured single in Europe, and the title track proved to be the group's \"comeback\" single in the US. For the first time in ten years, the Bee Gees set forth on a world tour. The 1991 followup album \"High Civilization\" was less well received. While the song \"Secret Love\" did well in Europe, \"When He's Gone\" was ignored in the US. The Bee Gees again toured Europe. But while touring Europe, their thoughts surely were directed toward the states. It was maddening. Songs and albums that sold well in Europe went unnoticed by Americans. \"You Win Again\" provides a perfect example: how can a song by a major artist be number one in England, yet number 75 in the US? Two years later, Warner even re-released \"You Win Again\" in the US as the second single from the \"One\" album, hoping that it would finally get airplay. It didn't. Why did American radio ignore the group? As one reviewer quipped, we were ready to forgive Nixon for Watergate, but were we ready to forgive the Bee Gees for disco? In 1993, the Bee Gees returned to the Polydor label and released the CD \"Size Isn't Everything\". Appearances on radio and TV brought inevitable one-liners about the meaning of the title, even leading shock jock Howard Stern to ask \"which one is the 'biggest' Bee Gee?\" Sadly, the \"Full Size\" tour planned for April of 1994 had to be abruptly canceled, due to Barry's health problems. During this time no less than three tribute albums to the Bee Gees have been released: An alternative rock version, \"Melody Fair\", joins compilations of previous cover versions on the rack: \"Bee Gees Songbook\" (a UK import), and the recently released \"Soul of the Bee Gees\", featuring a liner note \"mea culpa\" over the record company's mishandling of Robin Gibb's single \"Toys\" back in 1985. In September of 1996 word was received that the Bee Gees had been chosen as 1997 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony was held in Cleveland on May 6, 1997. Additional awards have included the American Music Awards' \"International Artist\" award, and special recognition in this year's \"Brit\" awards. The newest release, \"Still Waters,\" debuted at #2 on the UK charts. The compilation album \"The Very Best of the Bee Gees\" also briefly reentered the top ten a s well, putting the brothers Gibb in the remarkable position of having two albums in the UK top ten at the same time -- all this thirty years after their international debut. The album debuted in the US at #11, their first top twenty album since 1979. The US release of \"Still Waters\" was been acompanied by a whilrwind of activity. The weekend before the album's debut, VH-1 had a \"Bee Gees Weekend\" with a Saturday afternoon marathon of videos and performances. On the day of the album's release, the Bee Gees appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, and that evening were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The album reportedly sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide, making it their greatest success since 1979's \"Spirits (Having Flown).\" Is it over? Not yet -- the brothers Gibb, even with a four decade career to look back on, continue to look forward, and plan for the next album, the next single. As Barry puts it, \"...a gold record on your wall is like an ornament, and it doesn't really mean anything. It's a memory -- you look at it and go, 'Well THAT was great,' but it's not part of your NOW. And it's now and tomorrow that are the most important...\" STUDIO ALBUMS: [1967] Bee Gees First (#7 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 825-220-2 [1968] Horizontal (#12 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833-659-2 [1968] Idea (#17 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833-660-2 [1969] Odessa (#20 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 825-451-2 [1969] Cucumber Castle Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833 783-2 [1971] Two Years On (#32 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833 785-2 [1971] Trafalgar (#34 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833 786-2 [1972] To Whom It May Concern (#35 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833 787-2 [1973] Life In A Tin Can Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833-788-2 [1974] Mr. Natural Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833 789-2 [1975] Main Course (#14 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 833 790-2 [1976] Children of the World (#8 Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 823 658-2 [1979] Spirits (Having Flown) (#1 for 6 weeks, Billboard album charts) Label: POLYDOR Cat #: 827 335-2 [1981] Living Eyes [out of print in US, available by import from Japan] Label: POLYDOR (Japan) Cat #: POCP-2244 [1987] E.S.P.

These are the only recordings the Bee Gees themselves have no creative control over, and Festival has used this to great advantage, licensing the rights to these songs throughout the world. Polydor had a brief license to distribute these in the three-volume \"Rare, Precious and Beautiful\" series back in the late 60's. Some Australian demos, such as \"Top Hat\" and \"I'll Know What To Do\", are truly rare. Other recordings, especially singles such as \"Claustrophobia\" and \"Spicks and Specks\", seem to be on every record rack in town. There are a total of sixty Bee Gees songs from the Australian era. The following list of albums provides a partial sampling of the many reissues of these classics. Rather than offer a separate track listing of each of these albums, all sixty songs are listed below, with cross-references to the various albums on which the songs appear.

You're the reason [07-08] Note: The album and single versions of \"Monday's Rain\" feature two entirely different vocals on the recordings. Among the several differences, the easiest to note is that the first chorus of the album version begins \"Don't let me down...\", while the single version has \"Don't go away...\". The vocal style on the second verse is also notably different. On the single version, it is unmistakably sung by Barry. The album version, by contrast, is quite mistakable indeed... ;-) Sincere thanks to Joe Brennan for his web site, which provided track listings for the old LPs. Also, I wouldn't have known about the two \"Monday's Rain\" versions if he hadn't told me. Once you know about it, of course, it's easy to spot.

Also available on video. Label: COLUMBIA Cat #: CK-40788 [199*] Coca-Cola Comercials Our efforts to resolve the cola mystery are finally starting to pay off. Let's follow the trail so far. In the sixties, around 1968 from what I've heard, the brothers wrote and recorded two songs for Coca-cola. It sounds as if Bill Shepherd is doing the orchestrations. I've heard them on tape, but not on any commerical (no pun intended) releases. One jingle is entitled \"Another Cold and Windy Day\". This tune is reminiscent of \"Holiday,\" and features Robin seeking solace to his miserable and unceasing agony in a bottle of sugared phosphoric acid (otherwise known as Coca-Cola). If Tolstoy were to write soft drink jingles, they would sound like this. \"...I turn my face into the sun, the time of winter has begun...\" The other clip is \"Sitting in the Meadow\", which is rather similar to \"Sir Geoffrey Saved the World\". Robin leads on this upbeat tune, with Barry joining in on the chorus. \"Sitting in the meadow, frolic in the grass / Wouldn't you be lazy, everybody asks...\" and so on. I never understood the reason these were made until I took my son to see the \"Turbo Rangers\" movie a while back. Before the movie started, they had a little 90-second music video with some angst-ridden nineties ensemble. It was... a Coca-Cola jingle. Since I go to the movies about as often as an Amish farmer, I don't know how many others of these were made. But it seems entirely possible that the Bee Gees appeared in some such promo as this, to be played in the movie theatres. For you restless collectors out there, perhaps this is yet another thing to keep an eye peeled for. I wonder... But all this aside, the issue has been, where can you buy a CD with these commericals on it? I had heard from others that Coca-cola had (or so they heard) released this as a promotional CD. However, it was conspicuous in its absence at the official Coca-Cola boutique and souvenir-stand near Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. The road next led me to HMV at Herald Square, where I found an import CD called \"Great Cola Commercials - Vol. 2\" (Vox Records, UK) that had jingles from Del Shannon, Johnny Cash and a cast of dozens... but no Bee Gees. So I speculated that there MUST be a Volume One somewhere, another Holy Grail of soda jingles yet to be found. Then we heard from Douwe Dijkstra, in the Netherlands. Douwe read my earlier pleas for assistance, and provided the following: \"The CD that I have is called 'Coca-Cola Comercials.' This is the official title. \"Furthermore in the inlay it says: '65 sensational tracks' and 'things go better with Coke.' \"The only Bee Gees performed track is #37 being the one starting with \"Sitting in the Meadow\" \"In my view there is no \"Great Cola Commercials vol 1\", but #2 is just called #2 because the above mentioned Coca Cola did already exist. \"You can order both CD's from \"Offshore Echoes Magazine\" to be found on http://www.guernseyweb.co.uk/cdjing.html\" So, there you have it. Case closed. Thanks, Douwe!! Now, what's this about Dentyne commercials? ;-) * Guilty Pleasures: The Songs You Hate To Love\" performed by various artists The most disturbing cover art I've ever seen, bar none.

Label: MONUMENT Cat #: AK-45404 Also available on: Label: COLUMBIA SPECIAL PRODUCTS Cat #: 45404 SINGLES WORTH FINDING: [1989] One / Wing and A Prayer This is the only US release of the song \"Wing and a Prayer\", a track included on the European \"One\" CD. Label: WARNER [1993] Paying the Price of Love / Decadence The song \"Decadence\" was included on the European \"Size Isn't Everything\" CD, but in the US could only be found on the single. It is a remix of \"You Should Be Dancing\", among other things. The US single also includes three (!) remixes of \"Paying the Price of Love\". Maybe I'm just not into remixes, but I can't help but wonder what inspired the hyper-marketing of so many of these, ESPECIALLY when the perfectly listenable songs \"855-7019\" and \"My Destiny\" were languishing in storage.

[1997] Alone / Closer than Close / Rings Around the Moon This UK single has rare b-side \"Rings Around the Moon\". This song also recently became available on a US maxi-CD single of \"Alone,\" with \"Decadence\" and \"Stayin' Alive [live version]\" thrown in for good measure. Label: POLYDOR (UK) Cat #: 573 527-2 [1997] I Could Not Love You More/Love Never Dies/Brits Medley This second single from the UK release of \"Still Waters\" has the rare b-side \"Love Never Dies.\" The single faded quickly on the charts, so if you're looking for it, better look now!

This parody album includes tracks \"Meaningless Songs\" and \"Posing in the Moonlight.\" In the interests of justice, let me just mention here that, years later, the brothers Gibb were given a chance to detonate the Hee Bee Gee Bees live at a charity telethon in the UK.

I make this assumption because there's this teeny tiny itsy bitsy thanking the Bee Gees for their co-operation and video footage... The LD is red all over, with a landscape photo of the brothers smack in the centre (I think). All I can remember is that Robin was in the centre and he had long hair with sunglasses on... I remember seeing Massachussetts, and the New York Mining Disaster, but not much else. ...I went to a couple of stores in Far East, and most of them are priced at S$89 (around US$60). At Supreme Records, I found a copy selling at S$89, but at the store next door, it was selling for S$82. I found the Video CDversion of this, (also at Far East Plaza) but it came in two parts, each sold separately (S$39).\" Supreme Compact Disc Far East Plaza 14 Scotts Road #03-14 Tel.: (65) 7325432 * One Another find from Karen Liew, who writes: \"- The description on the back said that it covers the brothers' comeback album. ...The LD kind of looks like the \"One\" album; white with black and white photographs.

Well, the information age is providing a plethora of on-line goodies to Bee Gees fans these days. Most of these are available on the internet, a few others through subscriber-based on-line services such as America On-Line and CompuServe. Here is a basic overview of what you can expect to find... NEWS: If you want to read about the lastest goings on in the lives of the brothers Gibb and their fans, here are some resources are worth considering... alt.music.bee-gees is a USENET newsgroup. Ask your internet service provider how to access newsgroups if you're not familiar with it. Like most USENET newsgroups, alt.music.bee-gees is not moderated. This means that anyone can post whatever message they wish, regardless of whether it's kind, truthful, or even remotely related to the topic of the Bee Gees and their music. The alt.music.bee-gees newsgroup has become a magnet for all sorts of MAKE MONEY FA$T pyramid schemes and such these days, and could do with more fan participation. Unfortunately, exposing your e-mail address to a newsgroup such as alt.music.bee-gees can cause you to end up with tons of bulk e-mail in your mailbox, simply because the cyber-nitwits who send out such mailings harvest e-mail addresses from USENET newsgroups. This is one of the factors that has led to the much-decried \"Decline and fall of USENET\" in general. All things considered, however, alt.music.bee-gees is still a pretty good newsgroup. Mailing lists are a fine alternative to spam-ridden newsgroups, and there are two dedicated to the brothers Gibb, their music, and careers (and occasionally drifting off into topics of collectible Bee Gees lunchboxes, which Bee Gee has the cutest... uhhh... \"eyes,\" etc.) The \"Words\" mailing list is a free e-mail subscriber service that has over 600 dedicated fans, and a daily output of between 30-50k of subscribers posts from around the globe. To subscribe, send an e-mail message to listserver@bg.wsii.com with a blank subject line and the message: subscribe words your@address.here in the message body. Yes, that's right, where it says your@address.here substitute your e-mail address. A second mailing list, the \"Spirits Having Flown\" list, is also a free e-mail subscriber service, presently available only in digest form. To subscribe, send e-mail to bee-gees-on@mail-list.com with the message: subscribe your@address.here/YOUR NAME HERE And, you got it, replace your@address.here with your e-mail address, and replace YOUR NAME HERE with your real name. THE WEB: On March 9th, 1997, the day before the UK release of \"Still Waters\", the Bee Gees made their official debut on the World Wide Web. The long awaited Official Bee Gees Web Experience, at http://www.beegees.net is also mentioned in the liner notes of the new CD. It is still relatively new to the net, but already is coming to life with biographical info, TV appearance schedules, and the official Bee Gees e-mail address, beegees@beegees.net This web site is growing rapidly, with appearance info, links to other sites, and a few official answers to questions raised in this FAQ as well! Mind you, no one web site can subsitute for the efforts of all fans. As Joe Brennan once observed, each fan does bring his own particular perspective on the Bee Gees to his own site, and in this sense each site, official or otherwise, is well worth viewing. So it is that, in addition to the offical site mentioned above, it is well worth paying a visit to the following... http://www.cc.columbia.edu/~brennan/beegees/ This is Joe Brennan's web site, which goes into exhaustive detail on pretty much every song the Bee Gees have ever recorded. Encyclopaedic in scope, his web page makes you start to realize just how little you knew about songs that never made it to the record racks. Now it even includes a comprehensive list of songs in alphabetical order! Great going, Joe! http://www.andygibb.org/ A remarkable tribute to Andy Gibb, the only soloist to have his first three singles hit number one -- this was no mere teen idol. The Official Andy Gibb Home Page features a well-written bio, album gifs, and information on the Andy Gibb Memorial Foundation. http://mv.ru/~eddy/bee.html What IS that line in \"Stayin' Alive\", oh, YOU know, that thing that goes \"we can try to understand, the New York .......... on man?\" Look it up here, at Eddy's lyrics page. You'll be surprised to discover how many songs you've been mishearing all these years. http://users.deltanet.com/~twograys/beegees.htm Kathy Gray has a lovely pictorial site here, with nice reprints of magazine articles, pics of the Bee Gees, fans' photos, contests, a collectors' corner (we will now pause to take a breath), real audio files, up-to-date TV info, a VERY active message board... essentially, we are talking about a Bee Gees theme park in cyberspace. Visit it now, before Six Flags takes it over! http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~iomvc/dpage.htm Speaking of theme parks, how about a Bee Gees museum? Of course, if it were up to me, we would just take over the Guggenheim, dispense with all those needless oil paintings, and start installing karaoke bars in the rotunda. I've been told that this is impractical, for reasons that elude me presently, so perhaps a museum on the Isle of Man -- the indisputable birthplace of the Bee Gees -- would be suitable. Think so? Stop by and share your thoughts with a few Manx fellows actively pursuing the idea... http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/main_course/media.htm Every time I listen to the new Bee Gees single \"Alone\", I remember how Sue Thompson blessed us all by providing .wav files of audio excerpts months before the song's release in the USA. http://www.scranton.com:2222/archive/b/bee_gees/ Greg Luther first brought this site to my attention, \"a web site that has a few selected Bee Gees songs for guitar.\" And he's right, it is. In the new_york_mining_disaster.crd file Andrew Rogers explains how to play guitar chords like Barry does. I must say, those minor chords look a tad challenging. And a barre on the 10th fret for C major? Oy! Other artists are here too, just click on \"Parent Directory\" once or twice to view the list. As a failed guitar player, this is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. Thanks, Greg! http://chevytrucks.org/mrphilco/beegees.html Okay, you've got the cover to \"Horizontal\", and there's five guys there. Now, which one is Vince Melouney, and which one is Colin Peterson? Well, you may find GIFs of album covers elsewhere, but THIS site tells you who is who, provides catalog numbers and tells you about CD availability. Very good GIFs, too! In fact, I was so impressed with this site that I decided to help Ron \"Mr. Philco\" Ramirez scrounge up some more album covers -- so now the site is bigger than ever. It's nice to FINALLY have a place to send people looking for Bee Gees album GIFs. Keep up the good work, Mr. Philco! http://www.polydor.com/polydor/artists/beegees/splash.html Well, we've been waiting for it, and now here it is: the Bee Gees page on the web site of Polydor, their record label. Among the features are a nice biography, although it curiously ends in 1977, tour dates (none available at the present time), and excerpts from the Bee Gees Electronic Press Kit (6.9 Megs of Quick Time Video. You may wish to go mow the lawn while downloading...). Also features a 30 second clip from the \"Alone\" video, and realaudio and .wav files of song excerpts from the \"Still Waters\" album. All in all, enough to keep the file download portion of your internet software busy for awhile. Make space on your hard drive... http://www.imperium.net/~alandail/BeeGees.html Alan Dail's site has a lot of text, and a sort of down-to-business look to it that I find appealing. There are links: links to the UK album chart, links to radio station request lines, and links to the Internet Singles Chart voting site (you HAVE voted, haven't you?). Check often for new radio info! http://www.bgwoc.org/ Diane Weidenkopf's Wind of Change site has nice newspaper and magazine articles on the Bee Gees. Other goodies too! If you're curious about Bee Gees bootlegs, for example, you can read about them here. Not BUY them, mind you, but READ about them (of course!). Great site! http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Club/7434/index.html Joan Furilla brings us Joan's Wonderful Bee Gees Page, the home of Name that Bee Gees Song, one of those things on the internet that can easily make me forget that I have responsiblities and shouldn't spend hours being so totally distracted... http://www.toptown.com/CENTRALPARK/carncom/beegees/central.htm Jan Carnell's Bee Gees Back Chat is back, after a brief absence. And due to its overwhelming popularity, it has moved to a new location. Please note the above URL in your bookmarks! One of my favorite parts about it is the .wav to the song \"Just in Case\", not yet released anywhere in any form, except for this composition in progress on the Keppel Road video. Nice pictures, too! http://members.aol.com/bgfan/gc/index.html Amy on America On-line has put together this web site, which provides a nice combination of Bee Gees buy/sell ads and Macintosh evangelism (\"Don't give in to the dark side\", she warns. Well, of COURSE not! I use OS/2...). Past offerings listed have included Bee Gees \"Sgt. Pepper\" bubble gum cards! Yes, right, very good web site, one that is worth checking, especially if you're still looking for that Maurice Gibb lunchbox to complete your collection! http://muellner.simplenet.com/groove/lexicon/beegees/albums.htm Mr. Udo Muellner has a Bee Gees discography on his web site. Actually, it looks a lot like my FAQ discography too, except that his is easier to read, includes a comprehensive singles discography as well and predates mine by half a year. And look at this, he subscribes to CompuServe too! Well, it's true then, great minds think alike! Other sites... Suffice it to say, you don't have to speak English to appreciate the Bee Gees. Since my capabilities in foreign languages remain somewhat limited, I will not attempt to review these, but if you speak the language, by all means stop by and have a look! Bee Gees Fan Club - Argentina [In Spanish]: http://free.websight.com/BGFC_ARG/ Bee Gees Fan Club - Japan [In Japanese]: http://village.infoweb.or.jp/~fwhw3700/bgsfcjp_index.htm Polydor - Japan [In Japanese]: http://www.polydor.co.jp/music/intl/beegees/ Note: if you want to show the Japanese sites to someone who can read Japanese, be sure to download a Japanese-enabled web browser such as Tabibito (for Windows 95), available at http://www.japancan.com Don't forget, there are many more Bee Gees sites out there. Be sure to pass the word on so that we can include them in the next FAQ. Happy net-surfing! CHAT: For those who find internet chat to be even better when the topic is the Bee Gees, consider the IRC channel #bee-gees where Gibb fans meet on the XWorld server. Open for your chatting pleasure on Sundays 7pm Eastern, Tuesdays and Thursdays 8pm Eastern. (Note to those abroad: Eastern is the same as \"New York time,\" check your handy world clock. You DO have a handy world clock, or course?) Special thanks to chat operator Martha Irwin for this helpful info, and for also suggesting that newbies in need of killer chat apps consider mIRC shareware chat software, easily obtained on-line by visiting www.mirc.co.uk. COMMERCIAL ON-LINE SERVICES: In other words, AOL and Compu$erve. Please remember, you have to JOIN THESE SERVICES to take advantage of their propriatery resources. Unlike other internet thingies, you can't just point to your web browser here and expect it to suddenly cough up CompuServe fan club forums -- although it is rumored that CompuServe may eventually make forums available to non-subscribers on the internet as a pay-per-use feature... America On-Line: Well, alright, you've endured twenty-five consecutive busy signals, modem initialization errors and cyber-bales of junk e-mail and now you want to get up to speed on the Bee Gees. Just pay a visit to the People Connection. In the \"Arts and Entertainment\" area a Bee Gees channel is available for your chat- room pleasure on Wednesday nights at 9:30 PM, Eastern Standard Time (New York time). Kathy Gray also urges me to \"include information on the Bee Gees bulletin boards available on AOL. To get there, use Keyword: MMC (to get to the Music Message Center), then click on 'Artists A - F,' then click on 'Bee Gees.'\" Thanks, Kathy! CompuServe: Just use the CompuServe GO command to GO BEEGEES (WINCIM users, click the stoplight icon and type BEEGEES in the dialog box). This will place you in the Fan Club B forum, which has a section dedicated to the Bee Gees, including a messages area and file library. Among the items in the library are JPEGS and GIFS of album covers and promotional photos. You can also find several text files in the library, including a recent CompuServe conference with John Merchant of Middle Ear studio. In addition to the Fan Club forum, you can access other CompuServe goodies to keep you informed on Bee Gee bulletins and album info. * GO POLYGRAM takes you to the Polygram CompuServe site, which gives album release info. There was a nice site for the Bee Gees under April releases, despite the fact that nothing was released in April... * GO ALLMUSIC takes you to the All-Music Guide, where you can look up such things as the catalog numbers for albums of those Latin pop duos that Barry keeps singing with (see FAQ part 2) and all available covers of Gibb composition \"Gilbert Green\" (one, so far). * CompuServe's Executive News Service enables you to get press releases and other wire service articles selected for your perusal. Follow the instructions in the Executive News Service, and use as news search keywords BEE GEES, BARRY GIBB, ROBIN GIBB, MAURICE GIBB and ANDY GIBB. If you like, you can also create a second news folder with the keywords ROBERT STIGWOOD, POLYDOR, ARIF MARDIN, KARL RICHARDSON, ALBHY GALUTEN or whatever. The Executive News Service carries with it per-minute charges IN ADDITION TO CompuServe's usual exorbitant hourly rates. So read the help file on charges and usage carefully, and for crying out loud, DON'T GET UP FOR A CUP OF COFFEE while logged on to the Executive News Service! You've been warned... 4-01. What is a FAQ? A. Well, THIS is a FAQ. In a broader sense, a FAQ is a list of answers to Frequently Asked Questions (and thus the acronym). It is a fairly common thing to find on USENET newsgroups, and it serves the purpose of providing answers to the questions most likely to be asked by those who are new to the group. This way, they can quickly get up to speed and deal with the more esoteric questions, etc. On USENET, FAQs are posted to news.answers and the newsgroup to which the FAQ relates. This FAQ is posted to news.answers and alt.music.bee-gees on the 25th of each month. The most recent version of the FAQ is always available by ftp at: ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/alt.music.bee-gees/ and on the world wide web at: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/music/beegees-faq/ If you wish to reprint all or part of this FAQ on your web site or fan club newsletter, please write to the FAQ maintainer, David Garcia, at garc@compuserve.com 4-02. Whatever happened to...? A. Here are some followups on several people who have been asked about from time to time... ANDY GIBB - Younger brother Andy Gibb passed away on March 10th, 1988. The Andy Gibb Memorial Foundation was started by his brothers to carry on his memory. At some point, I would like to see an Andy Gibb FAQ posted here too. I don't know as much about Andy as some of our mailing list subscribers do, and I'm sure that there are those who could do better at it than me. It seems inappropriate to let him be merely a footnote to this FAQ, and I look forward to seeing the Andy Gibb FAQ someday soon. In the meantime, be sure to visit the official Andy Gibb web page, http://www.andygibb.org/ ROBERT STIGWOOD - As Joe Brennan once said, it would seem that the relationship between Robert and the Bee Gees is a complex one. While they had their share of legal battles in 1981, the brothers still look upon Robert as their mentor, and said as much at the Brit Awards this year. Barry also asked Robert Stigwood to accept the award on stage with them. Among Robert's recent acheviements are the movie \"Evita\" and the new stage musical \"Saturday Night Fever\". A Bee Gees connection in each of these: Back in the seventies, Barry was being considered for the role of Che Guevara in the film \"Evita\", but lost out due to the misfortune of two decades of delays. And, the Bee Gees have written a new song, \"Immortality\", for the \"Fever\" musical, which is opened in London in May of 1998. BILL SHEPHERD - When recently asked about him on the \"Words\" mailing list, Renee mentioned that Bill passed away some years ago. Bill, as you recall, did the orchestrations for the early Bee Gees albums, and it could be said that he had a lot to do with the lush sound of those albums as well. He was also one of their producers in the Australian days. ALBHY GALUTEN AND KARL RICHARDSON - In much the same way that Bill Shepherd helped to sculpt the sound of the early Bee Gees albums,Albhy and Karl had a lot to do with the sound of the \"helium years\". I had a press release from MCA about one of these two a few months back, talking about work with CD-ROMs. According to an article Joey Spain recently forwarded, it appears to be Albhy, who is now VP of interactive programming for MCA Music Entertainment. Thanks, Joey! ARIF MARDIN - Arif produced three albums with the Bee Gees: \"Mr. Natural\", \"Main Course\", and \"E.S.P.\". He also produced two songs on the new \"Still Waters\" CD: \"I Will\" and \"Obsessions\". On December 17th 1996, the New York Post reported that, after 33 years with Atlantic Records, Arif has signed a \"long-term deal\" to stay with the company. It also notes that in 1990 he was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. He won his sixth Grammy award earlier this year for his work on \"Smokey Joe's Cafe -- The Songs of Leiber and Stoller\" from the hit Broadway play. His previous Grammy awards include Producer of the Year in 1975 and for co-producing the soundtrack for \"Saturday Night Fever\" in 1978, according to the Post. GUMMO GIBB - Joe Brennan writes... Apparently Hugh and Barbara were big Marx brothers fans, and started off naming their boys after them in order. Luckily for the others, by the time the second boy came along, Gummo was old enough to be attending school and taking quite a bit of teasing about his name, and they decided to name the second boy Barry. The parallels would have been uncanny. It was the middle three brothers who performed together and achieved the greatest fame, and consider even the personalities involved: Chico, the one who gets the girls; Harpo, the best musician and whose voice you rarely hear; and Groucho, the one known for his wordplay. And then even little Zeppo would have been the young handsome brother. But it was not to be. The real reason for the family's move to Australia was not the alleged arson incidents, but for the sake of poor Gummo, who needed to start a new life where his name was less known. Living out an eerie parallel, Gummo left show business early in the family's career and was never captured on film performing with them. He is said to be a travelling sheepshearer in Queensland, keeping to himself and never revealing his first name, going only by \"Gibb... just call me Gibb\". At his request, only his feet are shown in the drawing in the \"Legend\" book, and not even an animal parody of his face is provided. He is not mentioned in the autobiography of the group, and if you ask any of the family about him today, they will deny his existence, mainly because I have made all of this up. SUNNY JIM - In their authorized biography, the Bee Gees mention that they often did little comedy skits about Sunny Jim as a way of warming up before recording in the studio -- \"Sunny Jim in the Arctic\", etc. Sunny Jim is also among those given thanks in the liner notes of the \"Children of the World\" CD. Of course, all this you hear about Sunny Jim action figures, and Rankin/Bass yuletide productions of \"The Adventures of Sunny Jim\" with the composition \"What's That on the Floor, Sunny Jim, Sunny Jim\", is nothing more than groundless rumor. Ignore it. Please. 4-03. Will the Bee Gees ever perform live again? A. They already have. In October of 1996, a surprise appearance of the Bee Gees introduced the VH-1 Fashion Awards special. The warm reception they received showed that, while \"Stayin' Alive\" may be derided by anti-disco critics, it still enjoys huge popularity with the listening public. Another recent performance, although a brief one (and troubled with a water-logged mixing board -- outdoors on a rainy morning), took place at Rockefeller Center in June 1997, as part of the Today show's Friday summer concert series. But of course, the highlight of recent performances has to be the \"one night only\" event in Las Vegas in November 1997. This has since been shown in the US on pay-per-view and HBO, and is now starting to appear on television broadcasts worldwide -- most recently, on BBC Television. Plans are in the works presently for more \"one-night-only\" performances in Ireland, London's Wembley Stadium, and other venues in South America, Africa, and Australia. For the lastest news and ticket info, be sure to check http://www.beegees.net (and your local travel agent...) 4-04. Will \"Still Waters\" be their last album? A. They have stated previously that, as long as their fans want to hear them, they will be happy to keep making albums. Does this mean they will keep going on forever? Well, in recent interviews Barry has suggested some reluctance at touring past the age of 55, but hopefully that doesn't rule out doing more albums. Of course, this is a man who was talking about retirement back in 1979.... No matter what the future holds, chances are the Bee Gees will never leave the music business entirely. An interview on \"Oprah\" revealed that they intend to work with Barbra Streisand again. Also, a recent USA Today article mentioned that the Bee Gees may at some point start their own record label, and give new artists a chance to launch their careers. Great news! Now, where did I put my box of demo tapes? ;-) 4-05. What is the Bee Gees' e-mail address? A. The address given on the Official Bee Gees Web Experience is... beegees@beegees.net Of course, this doesn't answer the question of who actually clicks on the \"Get New Mail\" icon to read the mail sent to this address, or to what extent the Bee Gees read e-mail sent there. But this is the e-mail address given to fans on the Official Bee Gees Web Experience. Speaking of the internet, are there Bee Gees in cyberspace? Well, word has it that Maurice, a Macintosh enthisiast, has surfed the net on occasion, but as far as I know Barry and Robin have not yet ventured onto the information superhighway. And as an aside to Maurice, if you're reading this, please... what does \"I.O.I.O.\" mean? ;-) 4-06. Who is Renee Schreiber? A. Renee is the Bee Gees' designated liasion with various recognized Bee Gees fan clubs worldwide (as it happens, there is no \"official\" Bee Gees fan club at the present time, and some locales may have more than one \"recognized but unofficial\" fan club, as well as some which may or may not be in various stages of Gibb acknowledgement. Complicated stuff, these fan clubs!). Renee is also administrator of the official Bee Gees and Andy Gibb web sites. Additionally, Renee assists Beverly Burke with the editing of the BGQ fan club newsletter, and often gives up-to-date media info and other helpful guidance to fans in cyberspace. Renee can be reached by e-mail at bgmelody@gate.net and by snail-mail at the address below. The liner notes of the \"Still Waters\" album, by the way, suggest that fans seeking fan club info write to: Bee Gees Fan Club Info 20505 US 19 N. Suite #12-290 Clearwater, FL 34624 U.S.A. For information and a list of clubs, send a self-addressed stamped envelope. Outside the U.S., along with your self-addressed envelope, please include post office-marked IRCs with your self-addressed envelope. 4-07. What is this rumor about missing lyrics to the song \"Rings Around the Moon\"? A. Well, while the song \"Rings Around the Moon\" has been relegated to \"b-side rarity\" status elsewhere in the world, in Japan it is a bonus track on the \"Still Waters\" CD. And the lyric sheet has the words to the song there, but it includes an extra verse that doesn't appear in the recording! Here is the missing verse, provided by Joseph Yellin... If you let me hide In the corner of your soul I will cherish you forever I will keep you from the cold And you know from the start I will never break your heart 4-08. When will the Bee Gees make a Christmas album (and/or country album, \"unplugged\" album, etc.)? A. Not for a very long time, from the sound of things. However, if you're looking for an \"unplugged\" album in particular, the mini-CD of the \"Storytellers\" performance may be of interest to you. It was, at one point, available as an add-on to the \"Still Waters\" CD at Target stores in the US. Perhaps these songs may appear in other forms elsewhere in the future; then again, maybe not. So far, the closest they've come to a Christmas album has been a rare performance of \"Silent Night\" on an old fan club release some years back. The requests by fans for a Christmas album have been many, but the brothers have maintained that they just aren't into Christmas albums. On the other hand, we now have the track \"Miracles Happen\" on the \"Still Waters\" CD. This song was originally written for the movie remake of \"Miracle on 34th Street\". Not exactly \"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas with the Bee Gees\", but it's a start, right? ;-) 4-09. Who decides whether rarities are released? Any chance that some unreleased tracks will be made available? A. It's an interesting situation. All music recorded by the brothers Gibb since 1967 remains under their own control, and nothing can be released without their approval. Not too many artists are blessed with such circumstances. Witness the contractual stuggles that \"o+\" (the artist formerly known as Prince) and George Michael have gone through. Some performers -- Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, and the late Frank Zappa, to name two -- have made a point of getting as many rarities out there as possible, both to appease die-hard fans and to beat bootleggers at their own game. The Bee Gees, by contrast, have chosen to keep their unreleased tracks unreleased. There's certainly enough material in the archives to work with, if they so chose. In 1973, Atlantic records shelved Bee Gees album \"A Kick in the Head is Worth Eight in the Pants\" shortly before its scheduled release. All three brothers have abandoned at least one solo album each. And more than one Bee Gees studio LP has left behind extra songs on the storage reels. Also, let's not forget several albums worth of songs written for other artists. Virtually all of these tracks began as demos with one or more brothers singing. In addition, if they wanted to go the route the remaining Beatles have gone, they could mine the vaults of the BBC and countless other radio and television performances. Finally, there's at least a few demos and unreleased songs by Andy that remain withheld. Some of these items have been made available on bootleg CDs, put out by underground outfits such as Ladybird and Brothers Gibb Records. Among these have been the \"Kick in the Head\" album, both early and recent live performances, solo works and leftover songs from the \"Hawks\" soundtrack. Unfortunately, recent crackdowns in the US by Customs and FBI officials have made these even harder to find than ever. Ironically, sixty songs from the brothers' Australian years have been sold -- legally -- with maniacal enthusiasm around the world. One song, \"I Was a Lover, a Leader of Men\", has been released on ten seperate albums! Festival Records has been licensing these songs worldwide successfully simply because the Bee Gees have no creative control over their Australian recordings of 1963-1966. (Now, if only the brothers would turn over the Middle Ear Studio vaults to the troops at Festival, they could give bootleggers a good run for their money...) 4-10. What kind of tuning does Barry use on his guitar? A. The tuning is what he calls a \"Hawaiian\" tuning, consisting of guitar strings tuned as follows (from lowest note to highest note...) D A D F# A D Thanks to Greg Luther for tracking this down on \"a web site that has a few selected Bee Gees songs for guitar.\" The address of that web site: http://www.scranton.com:2222/archive/b/bee_gees/ Maurice, incidentally, uses standard guitar tuning. I like it that way -- the contrast between the two guitars came out very nicely on songs such as \"Come Home Johnny Bride\" and on their medleys on the \"Midnight Special\" TV appearances. 4-11. How tall are the Bee Gees? A. I was surprised to discover how hard it's been to get an answer to this one! Even the \"official\" reports have changed over the years, and differ substantially from guesses hazarded by fans who have met them and posed for photos with them. I was hopeful that the Official Bee Gees Web Experience would settle the matter once and for all, but now I see that they use the very same estimates that I've always been using. Good heavens, doesn't SOMEBODY have a tape measure over there? Anyway, fans estimates have been as follows: Barry: between 5' 10\" and 6' 1\" Robin: between 5' 8\" and 5' 11\" Maurice: between 5' 6\" and 5' 9\" Further, it is interesting to note that the Official Bee Gees Web Experience lists Andy as having been between 5' 7\" and 5' 9\" in height. 4-12. Are any of the Gibb brothers left-handed? A. Barry is. Andy was too. 4-13. When are their families' birthdays and anniversaries? A. Thanks to Lynn Lyda and Bette Hanson for their help with the following... Barry Alan Crompton Gibb and his family Barry and Linda Gibb married Sept 1, 1970 (his 2nd marriage) Barry's Birthday: Sept 1, 1946 Linda's Birthday: May 11, 1950 children's birthdays... Stephen Gibb: Dec 1, 1973 Ashley Gibb: Sept 8, 1977 Travis Gibb: Jan 10, 1981 Michael Gibb: Dec 1, 1984 Alexandra Gibb: Dec 29, 1991 Robin Hugh Gibb and his family Robin and Dwina Gibb married Jul 31, 1985 (his 2nd marriage) Robin's Birthday: Dec 22, 1949 Dwina's Birthday: Dec 22, 1952 children's birthdays... Spencer Gibb: Sept 21,1972 Melissa Gibb: Jun 17, 1974 Robin John Gibb: Jan 21, 1983 Maurice Ernest Gibb and his family Maurice and Yvonne Gibb married Oct 17, 1975 (his 2nd marriage) renewed wedding vows Feb 23, 1992 Maurice's Birthday Dec 22, 1949 Yvonne's Birthday: Sept 24,1950 children's birthdays... Adam Gibb: Feb 23, 1976 Samantha Gibb: Jul 2, 1980 Additional days and anniversaries: January 12, 1945 Leslie Gibb (sister) January 25, 1978 Peta Gibb (Andy's daughter) September 29,19-- Berry Gibb-Rhodes (Leslie's daughter) November 17, 19-- Barbara Gibb (mother) Andy Gibb was born March 5, 1958 and died March 10, 1988 Hugh Gibb was born January 15, 1916 and died March 6, 1992 4-14. Who is older, Robin or Maurice? A. Although they are twins (and thus born on the same day, December 22nd), Robin was born first. 4-15. What's on the list of forthcoming events? A. For the latest info, be sure to check the Official Bee Gees Web Experience, at: http://www.beegees.net Also, for televised events, a good source of up-to-date information is RockonTV, a free e-mail subscriber service that let's you know who will be appearing and/or performing on US television in the week to come. \"BG Pixie\" CBolitiski describes it as follows: \"RockonTV is great cuz they post appearances on all sorts of variety/talk shows, VH1, MTV, and other. They generally post two notices during the week, one in time for week-end events and then one for the entire week to come. To get the e-mail delivery of RockonTV send an e-mail message with the words \"subscribe\" in the subject area to RockonTV@satchmo.com. Now we can all watch for the Brothers at the same time. Happy Screening!\" Joey Spain adds the following... \"You need not actually 'subscribe' to the notice list to receive the information they offer. They have a WWW site with the same content, and more at: http://www.satchmo.com/rockontv/rocknext.html 4-16. Where can I find the lyrics to...? A. This question has both a short answer and a long answer. First the long answer, which is... nowhere. Now, you might take issue with this, and say that lyrics are easily obtained in sheet music, in songbooks, even on lyric sheets that come with the CDs. But, quite simply, these sources are by no means guaranteed to be accurate. Take, for example, the song \"Alone Again\" from the \"Two Years On\" album. The sheet music anthology \"Bee Gees Complete, Vol. 2\", cites the phrase \"I'm an abandoned train,\" However, another songbook lists the same phrase as \"I'm on a bound down train.\" Which is correct? As for the lyric sheets on the CDs, let's look at the \"High Civilization\" CD. For the song \"Secret Love\", we see the phrase \"I'd follow anywhere to make you happy.\" But listen to the CD, and it's OBVIOUS that Barry is singing \"I'd follow anywhere to make it happen.\" So, why not ask the Bee Gees themselves? It's a thought, of course. But what about the song \"Jive Talkin'?\" On the \"Main Course\" CD Barry clearly sings \"You'll never know / just what you mean to me.\" But in concert -- for example, the Melbourne concert on the \"All For One\" video -- he sings \"You'll never know / just what you've done to me.\" For a while I thought this just might be the NEW official lyric, but then on VH-1's \"Storytellers\" Barry reverted back to \"what you mean to me\". Such is songwriting. Now for the short answer. An exhaustive anthology of Bee Gee lyrics can be found at... http://mv.ru/~eddy/bee.html 4-17. Have any books been written about the Bee Gees or Andy Gibb? A. Well, some have in years past, but my understanding is that they are pretty much out-of-print now. So, check your local used book store for any of the following titles (as supplied by Kathy Gray...) 1) \"The Legend\" Written by David English - Illustrations by Alex Brychta - Nov. 1979 - The Legend Company. (This is truly a priceless find. A cartoon-illustrated biography of the Bee Gees which portrays Barry as \"Lionheart,\" Robin as the \"Red Setter\" and Maurice as an \"Eager Beaver.\" Yes, it's worth having just for this. The book is hard to find, but worth the effort. Available as a large paperback, but if you're lucky enough to find one of the very few (extremely rare) large hardcover editions with the red cover, you're quite lucky indeed. The Bros. had those printed up specially just for family members and friends). 2) \"The Authorized Biography\" Written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb as told to David Leaf - 1979 - Dell Publishing (This book is also elusive, but it's out there, folks! If you're lucky enough to find a copy of this large hardcover book, you'll be treated to many enjoying (and some surprising) anecdotes about the Gibb Family and the Bros' rise to stardom. Includes many, many, original photos and a large, full color foldout poster. The same book can also be found with the same cover, but in a smaller paperback version). 3) \"The Bee Gees\" Written by Kim Stevens- 1978 - Quick Fox (This is a large paperback with a photo of the Bee Gees dressed in full Sgt. Pepper regalia on the front (headshots only) - 92 pages with many photos) 4) \"The Bee Gees\" Written by Kim Stevens - 1978 - Scholastic Book Services (This is a small paperback of the above book but by a different publisher. The cover is a brownish/orange color with a photo of the Bee Gees - 109 pages) 5) \"The Bee Gees - a Photo-Bio\" Written by Kim Stevens - 1978 - Jove (This is the exact same book as the \"Bee Gees\" by Kim Stevens, but in a small paperback version with a different cover of the Bros. in Sgt. Pepper regalia. - 192 pages). 6) \"The Bee Gees\" by Larry Pryce - 1980 - Chelsea House (This small paperback book features a black cover with the words \"The Bee Gees\" in hot pink lettering on the front - A biography, including an album discography and a few photos - 139 pages). 7) \"The Bee Gees\" by Craig Schumacher - 1979 - Creative Education (This small, thin blue paperback book features a cover photo of the Bros. from the old Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid film lot while filming the \"Stayin Alive\" video. Includes several photos and a rather brief (considering the size of the other bios) biography - 32 pages). 8) \"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band\" - by Henry Edwards - 1978 - Pocket Books (The small paperback book from the movie - includes many photos from the shooting of the film). 9) \"The Bee Gees 1\" and \"The Bee Gees 2\" - Chatty Books, The Netherlands (These are two very tiny hardcover books from the Netherlands with different covers on each. Each book is approx. 125 pages long and written in the native language - includes many song lyrics written in English). 10) \"The Official Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band Scrapbook, Collector's Edition\" - Written by Robert Stigwood and Dee Anthony - 1978 - Pocket Books (This is a large paperback book featuring a cover photo of the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton from the movie of the same name - includes many color and B/W photos of the filming of the movie - 80 pages) 11) \"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band\" - Official Programme - 1978 - Robert Stigwood Group, Ltd. (This is the official programme (large paperback) from the movie and is special in that it includes a 33 1/3 rpm mylar record - it's written in \"playbill\" format with biographies of the actors, including the Bee Gees, etc.) 12) \"Andy Gibb\" - Written by Connie Berman and Marsha Daly - 1979 - Xerox Corp. (This small paperback book features a nice cover photo of Andy, a biography and several photos - 122 pages). Thanks, Kathy, for your hard work at digging up this info! 4-18. Where can I order a CD of...? A. Fans have found various Bee Gees CDs (including imports and rare items) at many of the following places. Please understand, not all outlets carry all items, so compare and evaluate...) http://www.musicexpress.com/ Phongsak Suppattarachai of Thailand found \"Living Eyes\" here, and says orders take about one month to deliver. Also, Helio Takahashi mentions seeing the astonishingly rare \"Runaway\" CD by Carola here at $19.75! http://www.musicshop.co.uk Park Duk-Hyeon recently found the new single \"Alone\" through this service. The order arrived just a few days after the single's release halfway around the world. Pretty fast delivery! Doug Wilson also recently found his \"Still Waters\" CD here. telnet://cdeurope.com http://www.cdeurope.com CDEurope has a nice database format for those who prefer telnet to www; they also have their own BBS. Phongsak Suppattarachai recently discovered \"The Bunbury Tails\" here! http://www.cdconnection.com Phongsak Suppattarachai says that he's seen the UK \"Alone\" single here. Sounds worth checking out. Tower Records: (800) ASK-TOWER This number will give you the location of the Tower Records store nearest you (based on your zip code). Personally, I wish it would give the location of the LARGEST Tower Records store nearest me -- that would be more useful. Thanks to Marty for this number, and for the number of Tower Records' Kingston store in London: 011 44 171 439 2500. I called them, and the clerk cheerfully confirms that desperate Yanks can order their UK singles and albums by phone. Thanks, Marty! Take Notes Records: (800) 650-3472. At Marty's suggestion, I gave them a call. It sounds like a one- man operation, and at the time I called the one man was out having lunch, but it does seem to at least be the right number. Give it a try... Golden Treasures: (501) 795-4209. According to Kathy Gray, the \"Birth of Brilliance\" CD can be found here for a mere $29. Mailing address: Golden Treasures PO Box 601 Bentonville AR 72712 HMV Records, Herald Square, NYC Located on 34th and Broadway (across from Macy's). They almost always seem to have a copy of the \"Living Eyes\" CD there on the shelves, and it's a reasonably priced $28.99 for the Japanese import. Last week they had four! Their collection of imports is astonishing, and both Tom Fini and I are starting to question the import manager's claims of impartiality toward the Bee Gees. After all, who but a true fan would stock Japanese mini-CDs of the \"Melody Fair\" Subaru commercial? Virgin Megastore, 45th and Broadway, NYC The place bears a striking resemblance to Pizza Planet in the animated classic \"Toy Story\". Certainly NYC's REDDEST neon-lit CD shop. An entire import section is down in the basement. Pricier than HMV, but chances are if you can't find something at HMV, you may quite possibly find it here. And surely THAT'S good to know...

Furthermore, the secrets that surround his personal life contribute to the air of mystery that surrounds Dorian. It is significant that the reader never learns the details of the circumstances by which Dorian blackmails Campbell. Given Wilde’s increasingly indiscreet lifestyle and the increasingly hostile social attitudes toward homosexuality that flourished at the end of the nineteenth century, the reader can assume that Campbell’s transgression is of a sexual nature. In 1885, the British Parliament passed the Labouchere Amendment, which widened prohibitions against male homosexual acts to include not only sodomy (which was punishable by death until 1861) but also “gross indecency” (meaning oral sex), an offense that carried a two-year prison term. Oscar Wilde himself was eventually found guilty of the latter offense. This new law was commonly known as the Blackmailer’s Charter. Thus, Alan Campbell, a seemingly inconsequential character, serves as an important indicator of the social prejudices and punishments in Wilde’s time.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -4.098041534423828, "source": "search", "title": "SparkNotes: The Picture of Dorian Gray: Chapters Thirteen ..." } ]

On 25 March 1925, Baird gave the first public demonstration of televised silhouette images in motion, at Selfridge's Department Store in London. Since human faces had inadequate contrast to show up on his primitive system, he televised a ventriloquist's dummy named \"Stooky Bill\", whose painted face had higher contrast, talking and moving. By 26 January 1926, he demonstrated the transmission of the image of a face in motion by radio. This is widely regarded as the first television demonstration. The subject was Baird's business partner Oliver Hutchinson. Baird's system used the Nipkow disk for both scanning the image and displaying it. A bright light shining through a spinning Nipkow disk set with lenses projected a bright spot of light which swept across the subject. A Selenium photoelectric tube detected the light reflected from the subject and converted it into a proportional electrical signal. This was transmitted by AM radio waves to a receiver unit, where the video signal was applied to a neon light behind a second Nipkow disk rotating synchronized with the first. The brightness of the neon lamp was varied in proportion to the brightness of each spot on the image. As each hole in the disk passed by, one scan line of the image was reproduced. Baird's disk had 30 holes, producing an image with only 30 scan lines, just enough to recognize a human face.

Durant. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were fewer than 8,000 automobiles in America, and Durant had become a leading manufacturer of horse-drawn vehicles in Flint before making his foray into the automotive industry. GM's co-founder was Charles Stewart Mott, whose carriage company was merged into Buick prior to GM's creation. Over the years, Mott became the largest single stockholder in GM, and spent his life with his Mott Foundation, which has benefited the city of Flint, his adopted home. GM acquired Oldsmobile later that year. In 1909, Durant brought in Cadillac, Elmore, Oakland, and several others. Also in 1909, GM acquired the Reliance Motor Truck Company of Owosso, Michigan, and the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company of Pontiac, Michigan, the predecessors of GMC Truck. Durant, along with R. S. McLaughlin, lost control of GM in 1910 to a bankers' trust, because of the large amount of debt taken on in its acquisitions, coupled with a collapse in new vehicle sales.

Back then, he wrote, “While jobs were plentiful, housing was not and … people were sleeping in tents and cardboard shacks. In response, small poorly constructed housing was quickly erected on narrow lots, close to the factories that provided employment. This building cycle was repeated after WWII.” The houses served their purposes, but most have outlived their life spans. Here’s a reality check: 32 percent of Flint’s residential properties are abandoned, and the average single-family house sells for $16,400. Three to five houses are torn down every working day.

It was \"I Make a Fool of Myself\" (co-written with Crewe), and it peaked in the Top 20 in October. (It later enjoyed a cover by another Crewe client, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels.) Gaudio had a production credit on Nancy Sinatra's album Movin' with Nancy, released in December 1967.

(It earned covers by Jim Nabors, Shirley Bassey, and Petula Clark.) Meanwhile, however, although the Four Seasons continued to hit the Top 40 with a combination of outside efforts like \"Watch the Flowers Grow\" and covers like their version of the Shirelles' \"Will You Love Me Tomorrow,\" they were arguably being neglected by the creative team that made them stars. As competitors like the Beatles and the Beach Boys moved on to artistically ambitious album-length epics, the Four Seasons were content to go from single to single while Gaudio and Crewe tried to replicate the middle-of-the-road success of \"Can't Take My Eyes Off You\" with Valli. To his credit, Gaudio seems to have recognized the problem during 1968, and he formed a songwriting partnership with singer/songwriter Jake Holmes in an attempt to deal with it. The first product of their efforts was \"Saturday's Father,\" a Four Seasons single released in June 1968. The self-consciously arty arrangement and production constituted Gaudio and Crewe's response to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and \"Good Vibrations.\" The lyrics were personal and treated a serious subject, though not one likely to engage either the group's established fan base or fans of psychedelic music: \"Saturday's Father\" was about a divorced dad's once-a-week visitation rights with his children. It no doubt struck a chord with the other members of the Four Seasons, two of whom were well over 30 (Nick Massi was over 40, but he'd been replaced in 1965 by Joe Long, who was 26).

The 4 Seasons Entertain You , released in March, combined standards with originals, including among the latter three new Gaudio songs, four if you counted \"Toy Soldier,\" the concurrently released single, which subsequently was added to the LP. \"Toy Soldier\" (written with Crewe ) was a disappointing seller, Gaudio 's first A-side single for the Four Seasons to miss the Top 40 (perhaps the theme of wartime separation didn't help as the Vietnam War was heating up), but he and Crewe bounced back with the next single, \"Girl Come Running,\" released in May, which got to number 30 in July.

(Jan & Dean covered the song on a chart album, and it was revived for a chart entry by the Mary Jane Girls in 1986.) Gaudio and Crewe did not restrict their writing to the Four Seasons, but began to get recordings of their songs with other acts during this period. For example, Vee Jay labelmate Jerry Butler took their composition \"Whatever You Want\" into the pop charts in March. Next for the Four Seasons came \"Ain't That a Shame!,\" a revival of the Fats Domino hit that broke the group's string of number ones; its B-side was the Gaudio/Crewe composition \"Soon (I'll Be Home Again),\" which gained enough radio support to earn a chart placing in the spring of 1963. Gaudio's \"Marlena,\" on the B-side of the June 1963 single \"Candy Girl\" (written by Larry Santos), did even better, peaking in the Top 40 in August.

When they reconvened in the studio on November 20, 1963, to record their first single for their new label, Philips Records (distributed by Mercury), it was \"Dawn (Go Away),\" written by Gaudio and Sandy Linzer. The disc was released in January 1964 and restored the Four Seasons' commercial clout, lodging at number three, just behind the Beatles' \"I Want to Hold Your Hand\" and \"She Loves You,\" in February. As if to confirm that he had been holding back his songs, Gaudio, who had not figured much on Four Seasons LPs as a writer up to this point (the discs tended to contain one or two hits, plus covers of old doo wop songs, as titles like Sherry & 11 Others attest), wrote or co-wrote two-thirds of the tracks on the group's February 1964 release Born to Wander. Among those songs was \"Silence Is Golden\" (co-written with Crewe), which was recorded by the Tremeloes for a Top 20 hit in 1967, after topping the charts in their native U.K. Gaudio and Crewe also co-wrote the next Four Seasons single, \"Ronnie,\" released in March 1964, which peaked in the Top Ten in May, as well as \"Rag Doll,\" released in June, which hit number one in July. (Kevin Rowland, Del Shannon, Steeleye Span, and the Tremeloes are among the artists who have covered the song.)

Gaudio alone wrote \"Big Man in Town,\" released as a single in October; it peaked in the Top 20 in December. He collaborated again with Crewe on \"Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby, Goodbye),\" out in December, which peaked in the Top 20 in February 1965. (The Bay City Rollers revived the song for a number one U.K. hit in 1975.) The 4 Seasons Entertain You, released in March, combined standards with originals, including among the latter three new Gaudio songs, four if you counted \"Toy Soldier,\" the concurrently released single, which subsequently was added to the LP. \"Toy Soldier\" (written with Crewe) was a disappointing seller, Gaudio's first A-side single for the Four Seasons to miss the Top 40 (perhaps the theme of wartime separation didn't help as the Vietnam War was heating up), but he and Crewe bounced back with the next single, \"Girl Come Running,\" released in May, which got to number 30 in July. And the band recovered entirely with \"Let's Hang On!,\" released in September, which reached the Top Five in December, although Gaudio was not involved in writing it. He did have writing credits, along with Crewe, on another single out of the Four Seasons camp in October. Frankie Valli's solo career was launched with the Gaudio/Crewe song \"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore),\" and even though it missed the charts (perhaps because of a glut of product; the pseudonymous Four Seasons single \"Don't Think Twice\" by the Wonder Who? came out at the same time), the song proved to be a valuable copyright. The Walker Brothers recorded a version with the same arrangement that topped the British charts in March 1966, then reached the U.S. Top 20. It was revived for a chart entry by Nielsen/Pearson in 1981, and over the years it became a standard recorded numerous times by, among others, Long John Baldry, Cher, Clarence Clemons & the Red Bank Rockers, Neil Diamond, David Essex, Jay & the Americans, the Lettermen, and Jules Shear. Gaudio perhaps shouldn't be blamed for the failure of the next Four Seasons single, \"Little Boy (In Grown Up Clothes),\" even though he wrote it with Crewe, since it was a track fobbed off on Vee Jay Records as part of a legal settlement, and the soon-to-be-bankrupt label didn't have the resources to promote it upon its release in December 1965.

Again, it was a song that gained greater recognition later, when it was revived by the Osmonds in 1975 for a Top 40 hit. Gaudio returned to writing for the Four Seasons with \"Beggin'\" (co-written with Piergiorgio Farina), which was released in February 1967 and peaked in the Top 20 in April.

Berisso,” is located 11 miles (17.7 kilometers) east of downtown Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. With one million passengers per year, it is the only airport in the country that provides year-round international connections. As a result, it carries great symbolic value as the “front door” for many visitors to the country. With this distinction in mind, Puerta del Sur, the airport owner and operator, commissioned Rafael Viñoly Architects to expand and modernize the existing facilities with a spacious new passenger terminal to expand capacity and spur commercial growth and tourism in the region. The firm’s design gives prominence to the public zones, including the secure runway-side concourse as well as the fully accessible roadside departure hall and terrace, by providing amenities such as open space, natural light, restaurants, retail, and landscaping, all housed beneath a gently curved roof 1200 feet (365 meters) in length. Arrivals and departures are separated by floor, with arrivals on the ground level, departures on the first floor, and vehicular access roads that service each level independently. A public, landscaped terrace occupies the second floor above the departure level, providing views of the runway and the main public concourse. The design also features a restaurant and space for commercial and cultural use. The gentle curve and low profile of the airport’s monolithic roof is inspired by the rolling dunes along Uruguay’s coastline. While the architectural solution for the Carrasco International Airport is modern in its conception of space, function, and structure, the roof is regionally inspired and draws its strength from its relationship to the surrounding topography. The building represents Uruguay’s transformation from an important regional country to an international destination for commerce and travel. “In Uruguay, friends and family still come to greet you at the airport or see you off,” says Rafael Viñoly, “so this terminal provides great spaces for the people who aren’t traveling as well as those who are. The atrium, the main hall, the terrace, and the passenger concourse make this a dramatic and welcoming place for everyone.”", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 6.7764787673950195, "source": "search", "title": "Carrasco International Airport - Project - Architype" }, { "answer": "Uruguay", "passage": "Carrasco International Airport or as it is widely known in Uruguay, Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco General Cesareo L.

Part of the answer is surely generational: Winogrand came of age at a moment when the Life magazine-style photo narrative was the dominant model of production, and resisting that model required a rigid, even hyperbolic rhetorical stance. The prestige of Szarkowski’s influential exhibitions, too, must be recognized as giving Winogrand the license to refrain from explaining his work in the way that artists are customarily expected to today. Lastly, Susan Sontag’s essays on photography from the late 1960s must be counted as a major influence. Sontag, approaching photography from a fundamentally literary perspective, dismantled humanistic claims for photography’s benevolence with an unprecedented ferocity. (It was Sontag, too, who drew the historical connection between the flâneur and the street photographer.) 7 Winogrand read Sontag, and took note, even directing his students to read her book Against Interpretation (1966) as a guide to understanding his own work. 8", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -8.990508079528809, "source": "search", "title": "Garry Winogrand in Los Angeles - X-TRA" }, { "answer": "Photographer", "passage": "When he died of cancer in 1984, Winogrand left behind 2,500 rolls of exposed but undeveloped film, 4,100 rolls that he had processed but not contact printed, and 3,000 contact prints that seem to have been barely examined.

But only recently has the work been fully reviewed, this time by a team including photographer Leo Rubinfien, Erin O’Toole from SFMOMA, and Sarah Greenough from the National Gallery of Art. The endpapers of the exhibition’s catalog are handsome enlargements of vintage contact sheets, annotated with the photographer’s signature scribbles, two small red circles on each image that appears to have been “of interest.” There are other telltale marks too: boxes drawn around certain frames, and smaller rectangles within the frame whose meaning isn’t entirely clear; this mental map has no precise legend.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -10.023289680480957, "source": "search", "title": "Garry Winogrand in Los Angeles - X-TRA" }, { "answer": "Photographer", "passage": "Following Szarkowski, who was dismissive of the late work, many have argued that Winogrand, in his later years, was simply out of control, shooting with obsessive abandon, and had lost the ability to meaningfully edit his work. Evidence for this viewpoint comes from the relatively high percentage of dismally boring pictures from the later contact sheets. Others suggest, more generously, that Winogrand was simply more interested in shooting than in printing, and that this preference can be seen as a positive philosophical preference for process over product, action over stasis, becoming over being. A third possibility is that Winogrand simply preferred to “age” his photographs so that he could evaluate them objectively, his judgment unclouded by the profound enjoyment he clearly took in the shooting process. There is ample precedent for this approach in the production methods of the magazine work that Winogrand cut his teeth on, a process in which editing was typically performed by someone other than the photographer. Each of these three explanations clearly has a role to play in explaining the mess that Winogrand left behind, but none of them clears the ethical minefield that any curator faces in editing, indeed arguably completing, a late artist’s unfinished work. The curators realize the issue fully, to their credit, and take care to annotate the provenance of each print in minute detail, correctly choosing to describe the problem rather than try to solve it. The problem is that, even in simply deciding to print and frame the later work in the same general fashion that the early work was displayed, the exhibition’s organizers run the risk of insisting on a false continuity.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -8.042179107666016, "source": "search", "title": "Garry Winogrand in Los Angeles - X-TRA" }, { "answer": "Photographer", "passage": "Moving to Los Angeles, Winogrand had to have sensed that his principal formal model, the wide angle New York street view packed with incident and shot close-at-hand, would not transfer intact to the wide, relatively pedestrian-free boulevards of Los Angeles in the 1970s. His earlier photographs taken on visits to Los Angeles had essentially been one-shots. For example, his snarky 1964 photograph of a boy in Mickey Mouse ears traipsing across Forest Lawn cemetery was apparently a hit in New York, where it was printed large and hung high on the wall in Szarkowski’s 1967 New Documents show. A few pictures sustain the specific effect of the earlier work, but Winogrand seems to have struggled to realize a new way of working that was idiomatic to Los Angeles. There are a few photographs of celebrities (Drew Barrymore, Art Laboe) with his distinctive peculiar framing. There are the images of beautiful women, always a staple of his oeuvre, though fewer in number and less ebullient. Several powerful images depict desperate-looking individuals surrounded by open space—portraits, really, of damaged-looking strangers caught off-guard, or sometimes on-guard. And then there are endless contact sheets from this period, all taken from the window of a car, in which the distance from the human subject of the image yawns into a dull chasm. These sequences have their own poetics of desolation and wandering, but they are so far afield from the single-image geometries of the early work that one is simply left wondering what Winogrand himself would have made of them had he lived a little longer. Like the film director in Wim Wenders’s The State of Things (1982), or the photographer in Jacques Demy’s The Model Shop (1969), he appears to have genuinely gotten lost in the city’s endless thoroughfares, a romantic vision well charted by cinema, perhaps even a part of his decision to relocate there.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -4.251317977905273, "source": "search", "title": "Garry Winogrand in Los Angeles - X-TRA" }, { "answer": "Photographer", "passage": "It is flat-out impossible to accept that an artist who pointed to Against Interpretation as the key to his work could possibly have countenanced this sort of writing.

While the image is basically an artistic flop, it’s a flop by such a great, skewed talent that it can’t help but take on a certain metaphoric weight when presented on the museum wall, especially alongside this text. While it has always been true in some sense that images are “produced” in “collaboration” between the artist and viewer (the old post-structuralist saw), this image seems more to have been produced mainly by a garbled authorial voice that is more Rubinfien than Winogrand. The potential of a photograph to capture an object or quality that the photographer himself was unaware of, what Walter Benjamin famously termed “the optical unconscious,” is showcased here to uncomfortable extremes, made all the more problematic by this particular image’s origin on an unmarked, possibly unviewed contact sheet.

[ { "answer": "No one", "passage": "In November 1899, William McKinley's first Vice-President Garret Hobart died of heart failure. Theodore Roosevelt had anticipated a second term as governor or, alternatively, a cabinet post in the War Department; his friends (especially Henry Cabot Lodge) saw this as a dead end. They supported him for Vice President, and no one else of prominence was actively seeking that job. Some people in the GOP wanted Roosevelt as Vice President. His friends were pushing, and so were his foes. Roosevelt's reforming zeal ran afoul of the insurance and franchise businesses, who had a major voice in the New York GOP. Platt engineered Roosevelt's removal from the state by pressuring him to accept the GOP nomination. McKinley refused to consider Roosevelt as Secretary of War, but saw no risk in making him Vice President. Roosevelt accepted the nomination, although his campaign manager, Mark Hanna, thought Roosevelt was too cowboy-like. While the party executives were pleased with their success in engineering Roosevelt's next political foray, Roosevelt, very much to the contrary, thought he had \"stood the state machine on its head\". Roosevelt proved highly energetic, and an equal match for William Jennings Bryan's famous barnstorming style of campaigning. Roosevelt's theme was that McKinley had brought America peace and prosperity and deserved reelection. In a whirlwind campaign, Roosevelt made 480 stops in 23 states. Roosevelt showed the nation his energy, crisscrossing the land denouncing the radicalism of William Jennings Bryan, in contrast to the heroism of the soldiers and sailors who fought and won the war against Spain. Bryan had strongly supported the war itself, but he denounced the annexation of the Philippines as imperialism, which would spoil America's innocence. Roosevelt countered that it was best for the Filipinos to have stability, and the Americans to have a proud place in the world. With the nation basking in peace and prosperity, the voters gave conservative McKinley an even larger landslide than in 1896.

That was followed by a Tony Award for \"Does the Tiger Wear a Necktie?\". His first feature films made little departure from the gritty realistic stage performances that earned him respect: he played a junkie in The Panic in Needle Park (1971) after his film debut in Me, Natalie (1969). What came next would change his life forever. The role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather (1972) was one of the most sought-after of the time: Robert Redford , Warren Beatty , Jack Nicholson , Ryan O'Neal , Robert De Niro and a host of others either wanted it or were mentioned for it, but director Francis Ford Coppola had his heart set on the unknown Italian Pacino for the role, although pretty much everyone else--from the studio to the producers to some of the cast members--didn't want him. Though Coppola won out through slick persuasion, Pacino was in constant fear of being fired during the hellish shoot. Much to his (and Coppola's) relief, the film was a monster hit that did wonders for everyone's career, including Pacino's, and earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Instead of taking on easier projects for the big money he could now command, however, Pacino threw his support behind what he considered tough but important films, such as the true-life crime drama Serpico (1973) and the tragic real-life bank robbery film Dog Day Afternoon (1975). He opened eyes around the film world for his brave choice of roles, and he was nominated three consecutive years for the \"Best Actor\" Academy Award. He faltered slightly with Bobby Deerfield (1977), but regained his stride with ...and justice for all. (1979), for which he received another Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. This would, unfortunately, signal the beginning of a decline in his career, which produced such critical and commercial flops as Cruising (1980) and Author! Author! (1982). He took on another vicious gangster role and cemented his legendary status in the ultra-violent cult hit Scarface (1983), but a monumental mistake was about to follow. Revolution (1985) endured an endless and seemingly cursed shoot in which equipment was destroyed, weather was terrible, and Pacino became terribly ill with pneumonia. Constant changes in the script also further derailed a project that seemed doomed from the start anyway. The Revolutionary War film is considered one of the worst films ever, not to mention one of the worst of his career, resulted in his first truly awful reviews and kept him off the screen for the next four years. Returning to the stage, Pacino has done much to give back and contribute to the theatre, which he considers his first love. He directed a film, The Local Stigmatic (1990), but it remains unreleased. He lifted his self-imposed exile with the striking Sea of Love (1989) as a hard-drinking cop. It marked the second phase of Pacino's career, being the first to feature his now famous dark, owl eyes and hoarse, gravelly voice. Returning to the Corleones, he made The Godfather: Part III (1990) and earned raves for his first comedic role in the colorful Dick Tracy (1990). This earned him another Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and two years later he was nominated for Glengarry Glen Ross (1992). He went into romantic mode for Frankie and Johnny (1991). In 1992 he finally won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his amazing performance in Scent of a Woman (1992). A mixture of technical perfection (he plays a blind man) and charisma, the role was tailor-made for him, and remains a classic. The next few years would see Pacino becoming more comfortable with acting and movies as a business, turning out great roles in great films with more frequency and less of the demanding personal involvement of his wilder days. Carlito's Way (1993) proved another gangster classic, as did the epic crime drama Heat (1995) directed by Michael Mann and co-starring Robert De Niro , although they only had a few scenes together. He returned to the director's chair for the highly acclaimed and quirky Shakespeare adaptation Looking for Richard (1996). City Hall (1996), Donnie Brasco (1997) and The Devil's Advocate (1997) all came out in this period. Reteaming with Mann and then Oliver Stone , he gave two commanding performances in The Insider (1999) and Any Given Sunday (1999).", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 4.598031044006348, "source": "search", "title": "Al Pacino - Biography - IMDb" }, { "answer": "Me, Natalie", "passage": "Following further acting training from Lee Strasberg, Pacino won an Obie Award for his role in The Indian Wants The Bronx.

Interestingly, this coincided with the first known experiments of amplified \"electric\" guitar.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 4.266793251037598, "source": "search", "title": "History of the Electric Guitar - Guitarist: Charlie Christian" }, { "answer": "Guitar", "passage": "In 1934, Charlie secured his first professional music job, as a bassist, with the Alphonso Trent band. The group toured throughout the area, playing venues in Kansas City, Dallas, Fort Worth, Little Rock, and Tulsa. In the next three years, Christian also played with The Jolly Jugglers (with his brother Edward), toured the Southwest with the Anna Mae Winburn Orchestra, and worked with the Jeter-Pillars Orchestra in St.Louis. In his travels he probably encountered Delta blues players, as well as Western-Swing bands which were now regularly featuring amplified steel guitars and soloists who used a swing-based single-note style.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 4.098455905914307, "source": "search", "title": "History of the Electric Guitar - Guitarist: Charlie Christian" }, { "answer": "Guitar", "passage": "A breakthrough occurred for Charlie in 1937. Back in Oklahoma City, he was playing piano and met Count Basie's guitarist Eddie Durham, who is credited with having recorded one of the earliest amplified guitar solos. Christian was immediately enamoured with the electric guitar and sought Durham out for some basic pointers. Durham later remarked,\" I never saw anyone learn so fast, nor have I seen anyone rise to the top so quickly.\" Soon after the meeting, Christian bought his first electric guitar, probably a Gibson ES-150, and began to assemble the components of his horn-like approach.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 4.998653411865234, "source": "search", "title": "History of the Electric Guitar - Guitarist: Charlie Christian" }, { "answer": "Guitar", "passage": "By 1938, Charlie was touring as an electric guitarist with Alphonso Trent's Septet, and worked at The Dome in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Osborne further recalled that Christian played Django Rheinhardt's difficult \"St. Louis Blues\" note for note, and that many of the figures he worked into his solos evolved later into Benny Goodman tunes like \"Seven Come Eleven\" and \"Gone With 'What' Wind.\" At that time, a local music store displayed the Gibson ES-150 with a sign reading \"As featured by Charlie Christian.\" Christian was by this point a regional hero.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 3.7041614055633545, "source": "search", "title": "History of the Electric Guitar - Guitarist: Charlie Christian" }, { "answer": "Guitar", "passage": "In July, 1939, jazz and blues impresario and producer John Hammond became aware of Charlie Christian.

Goodman was initially unimpressed when he heard Christian comp unamplified rhythm guitar behind \"Tea For Two,\" and further dubbed him \"an impossible rube.\" Later Hammond sneaked Christian on the bandstand for an impromptu jam session with the Benny Goodman Quintet at the Victor Hugo Restaurant. The group played an extended jam on \"Rose Room\" during which Christian matched Goodman riff for riff and improvised over 20 choruses.
