Book Description
English professor Amanda Payne and rancher Virgil Ames were unlikely ever to meet and even less likely to fall in love, but they do both. For a time, they share a life of tenderness, laughter, and passion, but both Virgil and Amanda carry scars from long-ago tragedies. After a sudden change in Virgil's life, the legacy of those tragedies drives them apart. Their story of love and joy, loss and reconciliation plays out against the magnificent backdrop of Colorado's San Juan Mountains, the sweet harmonies of country and western music, and the kindness of true friends. Lynne Sebastian is a retired archaeologist who lives in Corrales, New Mexico, and discovered the joy of creative writing late in life.

Book Description
Drawing on existing musicological study of popular song culture of the Western United States from roughly 1870 to 1920, as well as work on folk music, folklore and literary studies, genre studies, cultural history, and my own archival research, this dissertation examines the role of cowboy music within the larger realm of popular and folk songs of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the musical culture of the Western United States. While no formal definition of cowboy music currently exists within musicological scholarship, I propose defining it broadly as the music that cowboys (and cowgirls) composed, performed, and consumed and that directly related topically to the cowboy lifestyle in the Western United States between mid to late nineteenth century and mid twentieth century. Careful consideration is given to the nature of the cowboy working tradition in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While there is no single defining characteristic of the trade, many specific elements such as herding livestock from horseback, developing horsemanship and general ranch maintenance skills all prove to be integral to identifying a formal archetype. The musical backgrounds and experiences of individual cowboy poet-songwriters are also considered, as well as the popular music culture of the American West during the period, highlighting the ubiquity of music in the lives of many working cowboys and the many situations in which they may have encountered it. Prior scholarship suggests that the nineteenth century cowboy song tradition was weak overall, including few original songs and melodies and unlikely to have been an active part of the cowboy lifestyle. I argue that not only is there a strong historical narrative surrounding this tradition, but that there are numerous examples of cowboy songs, often with unique texts and melodies, created in the fifty years between 1870 and 1920. These examples include songs published in local and regional newspapers and trade journals, songs published in collections of folk and cowboy music, and songs referenced in cowboy biographies, autobiographies, and other non-fiction literature. Far from weak or inauthentic, nineteenth and early twentieth century cowboy songs are part of a vibrant and active musical tradition that developed alongside the cattle industry boom of the 1870s -1880s and has remained an integral part of cowboy culture ever since. As it has yet to receive much direct attention by musicologists, I argue that cowboy music is its own sub-genre within popular music and is an important area for exploration. The work of Keith Negus, Fabian Holt, and David Brackett on genre in music help to inform my classification of cowboy music, although genre, style, and the entire project of musical classification is fraught with pitfalls. Negus, Holt, and Brackett's work all point to earlier genre study, particularly in film and literary studies, and consider such ideas as "genre worlds" and "genre cultures" as well as historical, theoretical, and abstract genres. Through consideration of genre formation, genre classification, and genre's influence on canon formation, I have endeavored to classify cowboy music within the larger web of American popular and folk music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I am hopeful that this effort will provide a solid foundation from which further research can build an even more nuanced understanding of the development of early cowboy songs and the role that they have and continue to play in the expressive culture of the American West

Book Description
'The truest measure of the man we have thus far' - Mojo 'Affectionate, impeccably researched biography' - Mail on Sunday 'Head and shoulders above the usual rock hagiography' - Sunday Telegraph The first biography to be written with the cooperation of the Lynott Estate, Cowboy Song is the definitive authorised account of the extraordinary life and career of Thin Lizzy guiding spirit, Philip Lynott. Leading music writer Graeme Thomson explores the fascinating contradictions between Lynott's unbridled rock star excesses and the shy, sensitive 'orphan' raised in working class Dublin. The mixed-race child of a Catholic teenager and a Guyanese stowaway, Lynott rose above daunting obstacles and wounding abandonments to become Ireland's first rock star. Cowboy Song examines his key musical alliances as well as the unique blend of cultural influences which informed Lynott's writing, connecting Ireland's rich reserves of music, myth and poetry to hard rock, progressive folk, punk, soul and New Wave. Published on the thirtieth anniversary of Lynott's death in January 1986, Thomson draws on scores of exclusive interviews with family, friends, band mates and collaborators. Cowboy Song is both the ultimate depiction of a multi-faceted rock icon, and an intimate portrait of a much-loved father, son and husband.

Book Description
Sarah Ruhl is one of the most highly-acclaimed and frequently-produced American playwrights of the 21st century. Author of eighteen plays and the essay collection 100 Essays I Don't Have Time to Write, she has won a MacArthur “Genius” Grant and the Steinberg Distinguished Playwright Award, been nominated for a Tony Award for In the Next Room or the vibrator play and twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for The Clean House and In the Next Room. Ruhl is a writer unafraid of the soul. She writes not about “this or that issue,” but “about being,” creating plays that ask “big questions about death, love, and how we should treat each other in this lifetime.” In this volume, Amy Muse situates Ruhl as an artist-thinker and organizes her work around its artistic and ethical concerns. Through a finely-grained account of each play, readers are guided through Ruhl's early influences, the themes of intimacy, transcendence, and communion, and her inventive stagecraft to dramatize “moments of being” onstage. Enriched by essays from scholars Jill Stevenson, Thomas Butler, and Christina Dokou, an interview with directors Sarah Rasmussen and Hayley Finn, and a chronology of Ruhl's life and work, this is a companionable guide for students of American drama and theatre studies. Amy Muse specializes in dramatic literature and performance studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she is Associate Professor and Chair of the English Department. She is the author of “Sarah Ruhl's Sex Ed for Grownups” (Text & Presentation 2013) and essays on Romantic drama, intimate theatre, female Hamlets, and travel in Romantic Circles, Romanticism: The Journal of Romantic Culture & Criticism, Frontiers, and other journals.
