  Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller:...

  Charles River Editors

  When the phrase “the King” is used in the context of American music, most people think of Elvis Presley, but Presley was just a baby when the title was first conferred upon Benny Goodman as the King of Swing in 1935. The Swing Era was a magical period in American history between the hedonism of the Roaring Twenties and the rebelliousness sparked by rock music beginning in the 1950s. Swing music was rooted in ragtime, blues, and jazz music that had long been popular in African American enclaves in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and New Orleans. Swing took the entire nation by storm thanks in large part to Benny Goodman and his bands, earning Goodman the nearly undisputed title of the King of Swing. Apart from a few hiatuses to tend his health and his growing family, Goodman remained a consistently active musician literally right up until his death in 1986 at the age of 77. Somewhat fittingly, he died in his study with his clarinet next to him and a Brahms sonata on a music stand nearby. 
  Though it may be hard to fathom in the wake of Elvis Presley and popular rock bands like the Beatles, the early 20th century featured a burgeoning music sales industry that was dominated in ways that nobody would ever reach again, including the Fab 4. While Elvis and the Beatles had a combined 71 Top 10 hits over their lengthy careers, Glenn Miller had 16 records reach #1, and he compiled 69 Top 10 hits, all in the span of four years before he had turned 40. Like any music pioneer, Miller and his band were often criticized for not being true to the roots of the music they performed, even as they perfected a sound that captivated the country. In short order, Miller and his music influenced legends ranging from Benny Goodman to Louis Armstrong. 
  Miller was the most popular big band leader in the United States when he walked away from his orchestra to enlist in the U.S. Army. World War II was raging, and Miller was determined to fulfill his patriotic duty

  Applying The Tao of Human...

  • 0

  This is an introduction to The Tao of Human Interactions. 
  I decided to write this book because of the need for an effective system of managing and enhancing people's ability to communicate. Its applications span business as well as personal interactions. It can be a simple way of assessing the personalities of people around you and enabling you to better interact with them. I've played the role of an employee in middle management as well as upper management. One essential skill for any good manager is communication. It is important to be able to assess the people you are managing and also to be able to effectively deliver the correct messages. It is not only important to deliver the ideas, but it also needs to be done in a way that impacts the audience correctly. An effective manager must also assess and manage the emotional states of the people involved. I have spent a good part of my life working as an employee and in upper management and middle management. I have also consulted management for many different types of organizations in the public as well as the private sector. I have worked in specific industries such as transit, technology, public works, city government, the military, and hospitality. My approach has always been to try to create effective modes of interaction and communication between employees and middle management, as well as between management and upper management. 
  This book is concerned mostly with daily interactions at the employee level. The system and skills taught can be applied to any interaction in the business and personal life. Management systems are often well thought out and well structured, but quite often, they do not lend themselves to the chaotic, on-the-spot timber of human interactions. The Tao of Human Communications is a system rooted in present-moment fluid interactions.

  Navigating Our Way Between Fear...

  In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, poet-philosopher Mark Nepo shares how we can have a direct connection to the attending guiding spirit within. Nepo helps us understand that the heart plays a central role in how our life-force manifests, and considers it one of our greatest resources as a conduit for our intuitive mind.  
  Nepo gives us an analogy from India regarding how to meet fear and pain, which we often inflate, and provides a practical suggestion in “right-sizing” them. He suggests that we describe one, two or three reliable truths which are our personal foundation and which we can return to as we meet the challenges of daily life. He also writes about how the "net of relationship" distributes our suffering. 
  Mark Nepo is the author of many audio learning projects and over 20 books including:Reduced To Joy (Cleis Press 2013)Seven Thousand Ways to Listen: Staying Close To What Is Sacred (Free Press 2012)The One Life We’re Given: Finding the Wisdom That Waits in Your heart (Atria Books 2016)More Together Than Alone: Discovering the Power and Spirit of Community in Our Lives and in the World (Atria Books 2018)Drinking from the River of Light: The Life of Expression (Sounds True 2019)The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters (St. Martin’s Essentials 2020)Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity (St. Martins’ Essentials 2022) Falling Down and Getting Up: Discovering Your Inner Resilience and Strength (St. Martins’ Essentials 2023)
