There are few things more precious and interesting than a Golden Age. There was a Golden Age of a particular kind of music that ran from the twenties through the fifties: the golden age of popular standards; the songs that constitute The Great American Song Book. These tunes were written by dapper, creative giants like Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Charmichael, Jerome Kern, and Dorothy Fields. Urbane sophisticated talents who created a body of work that effortlessly captures that urbanity and sophistication. They created tunes focused on the subject of romantic love and exploring all the stages and aspects of the arc of a great love affair: from the initial “walking on air” to the jaded ennui of “never again”. They were obsessed with this theme and subject. Describing, exploring, and driving deep into all its mysteries. These composers and lyricists were in love with Love. These tunes wed lyrics and music into songs that were crafted by songwriting teams originally centered around Tin Pan Alley; The Brill Building on Broadway in Mid town Manhattan. These songwriting teams in many cases split the composing tasks along functional lines: one writing the music and on writing the lyrics. The composers were writing vehicles for others to perform and usually pitched the tunes in the context of a Broadway or Hollywood musical. They were cranking out tunes for the Hollywood and Broadway dream factories at a prodigious pace. They really worked! Cranking out so many songs, they have a tossed off, effortless quality and a guileless directness. They feel unpretentious and casual: genuine and authentic. But their craft and genius raise these songs to high art. Many of these tunes became popular hits in their own right, lifted out of the shows and movies, and have been recorded by all the great performers. Fred Astaire debuted many of these tunes and was a favorite of the writing teams. He was known as much for his singing as his dancing! Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble are some of the latest to pay homage to the songbook.

A Century of Concert Spirituals Recordings: The Pioneers
The year 2016 marked the 100th anniversary of Harry T. Burleigh‘s publication of “Deep River,” which is considered to be one of the earliest Negro spirituals written for performance by a classically trained vocalist. “Deep River” inspired singers of “classical” music to integrate spirituals into their concert repertoire and composers to explore how their own vocal musical expressions might be enriched by inclusion of these American folk songs in their works. Composers, including William Arms Fisher, John C. Payne, J. Rosamond Johnson, Clarence Cameron White, R. Nathaniel Dett, Florence Price, Hall Johnson, and Roland Hayes delved into the rich fount of the Negro spiritual and created a vast range of musical expressions that have been preserved on recorded medium. These composers were born in the generation immediately following the end of the American Civil War in 1865. They were often the children of ex-slaves or they otherwise were exposed to the Negro Spiritual directly from the living sources of these songs. They continued the process, begun by Fisk Jubilee Singers, of sharing this soul-stirring, original American music across the United States and around the world. This presentation will briefly profile a few of these pioneers of the concert spiritual and offer excerpts from rare historical recordings, from Oscar Seagle's performance of Burleigh’s “Deep River” and C. Carroll Clark's performance of Dett's “I'm So Glad Trouble Don't Last Alway,” to early recordings by great interpreters such as contralto Marian Anderson, tenor Roland Hayes, and bass-baritone Paul Robeson.

Folk music part 1
This document provides an overview of the history and development of folk music in America. It discusses how folk music originated from British ballads and songs brought over by immigrants. These songs were passed down orally through generations living in isolation in the Appalachian Mountains. Scholars like Francis Child began collecting and documenting these ballads in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s, collectors like Cecil Sharp traveled to Appalachia seeking "authentic" folk music still using old British tunes. Their field collections helped popularize folk music again but were also subject to cultural biases. The document examines debates around what constituted "authentic" versus commercialized folk music in America.
Bessie Smith: The Rough and Tumble "Empress of Blues"
Bessie Smith was an African American blues singer born in 1894 in Tennessee. She faced extreme poverty and discrimination as an orphan growing up in the post-Reconstruction South. Smith got her start performing on street corners and eventually joined a traveling show, which exposed her to influential blues artists. In the 1920s, her recording of "Downhearted Blues" brought her widespread fame. Smith earned the title "Empress of the Blues" through her powerful vocals and command of the genre. Though she faced constant racism and threats of violence, Smith openly confronted discrimination. Her controversial death in 1937 from injuries sustained in a car accident inspired plays and songs about her legacy of fighting against injustice through her iconic blues music.

Notable singer-songwriters mentioned include Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman, Barbra Streisand, and Sheryl Crow. Acoustic guitar and piano are common instruments, while loop pedals are sometimes used live. Album covers tend to focus on the artist, and style is usually casual clothing.

These composers helped establish the modern Broadway musical.
History of music video

Folk music part 1
This document provides an overview of the history and development of folk music in America. It discusses how folk music originated from British ballads and songs brought over by immigrants. These songs were passed down orally through generations living in isolation in the Appalachian Mountains. Scholars like Francis Child began collecting and documenting these ballads in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s, collectors like Cecil Sharp traveled to Appalachia seeking "authentic" folk music still using old British tunes. Their field collections helped popularize folk music again but were also subject to cultural biases. The document examines debates around what constituted "authentic" versus commercialized folk music in America.
Bessie Smith: The Rough and Tumble "Empress of Blues"
Bessie Smith was an African American blues singer born in 1894 in Tennessee. She faced extreme poverty and discrimination as an orphan growing up in the post-Reconstruction South. Smith got her start performing on street corners and eventually joined a traveling show, which exposed her to influential blues artists. In the 1920s, her recording of "Downhearted Blues" brought her widespread fame. Smith earned the title "Empress of the Blues" through her powerful vocals and command of the genre. Though she faced constant racism and threats of violence, Smith openly confronted discrimination. Her controversial death in 1937 from injuries sustained in a car accident inspired plays and songs about her legacy of fighting against injustice through her iconic blues music.

Inventory: Buffer or Suffer operations and supply chain management
Understanding and managing inventory is a critical strategic and operations endeavor; buffer or suffer!
Receivables and inventory are usually financed with a line of credit (revolving debt like a credit card). Managing receivables aims to making sure that all your customers pay and that they pay in a timely manner; you need that cash in the door! Managing inventories also means not letting inventories build up. You do this by monitoring sales and manufacturing activity. You want enough inventories so you can accommodate a spike in sales, but you also don’t want to risk having too much inventory that you can’t unload. This is especially important with products that have a short life cycle and can become obsolete. If not sold in a timely manner this might force you to discount them heavily and take a loss. Operations management is carefully focused on this potential problem. .
You can quickly asses how a company is doing in this regard by looking at their balance sheet and comparing Current Assets to Current Liabilities and seeing if there is a larger amount of Current Assets. Do this comparison for the last few years and you can see if there is a change in Working Capital and if it is due to a build-up of inventories.

They should look for shared and differing interests between parties to craft solutions with benefits for both sides. The goal is to understand others' perspectives and make their decision to agree as easy as possible.
