Inventing the American Guitar - Richard Johnston - Bog - Hal Leonard Corporation - Plusbog.dk

ÊInventing the American GuitarÊ is the first book to describe the early history of American guitar design in detail. It tells the story of how a European instrument was transformed into one with all of the design and construction features that define the iconic American flat-top guitar. This transformation happened within a mere 20 years a remarkably brief period.ÞThe person who dominates this history is C. F. Martin Sr. America''s first major guitar maker and the founder of the Martin Guitar Company which continues to produce outstanding flat-top guitars today. After emigrating from his native Saxony to New York in 1833 Martin quickly established a guitar making business producing instruments modeled after those of his mentor Johann Stauffer of Vienna. By the time he moved his family and business to rural Pennsylvania in 1839 Martin had absorbed and integrated the influence of Spanish guitars he had seen and heard in New York. In Pennsylvania he evolved further inventing a uniquely American guitar that was fully developed before the outbreak of the Civil War.ÞÊInventing the American GuitarÊ traces Martin''s evolution as a craftsman and entrepreneur and explores the influences and experiments that led to his creation of the American guitar that is recognized and played around the world today.

In the process he helped give birth to a new country sound and did more than any other individual to establish Bakersfield as a country music center.ÞIn the latter half of the 1990s Buck began working on his autobiography. Over the next few years he talked into the microphone of a cassette tape machine for nearly one hundred hours recording the story of his life.ÞWith his near-photographic memory Buck recalled everything from his early days wearing hand-me-down clothes in Texas to his glory years as the biggest country star of the 1960s; from his legendary Carnegie Hall concert to his multiple failed marriages; from his hilarious exploits on the road to the tragic loss of his musical partner and best friend Don Rich; from his days as the host of a local TV show in Tacoma Washington to his co-hosting the network television show ÊHee HawÊ; and from his comeback hit Streets of Bakersfield to his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.ÞIn these pages Buck also shows his astute business acumen having been among the first country artists to create his own music publishing company. He also tells of negotiating the return of all of his Capitol master recordings his acquisition of numerous radio stations and of his conceiving and building the Crystal Palace one of the most venerated musical venues in the country.ÞÊBuck ''Em!Ê is the fascinating story of the life of country superstar Buck Owens ä from the back roads of Texas to the streets of Bakersfield.
