Elvis Presley Gospel Music

Elvis Presley Gospel Music

A lot of people may not associate Elvis Presley with gospel music, but he wrote over 50 gospel songs. There have been many documentaries made regarding Elvis Presley’s love of gospel music. He started out in music by singing at a tiny church in Memphis. Also, he is a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley Volumes 1 and 2 feature over 30 of Elvis’ gospel recordings. It also contains stories from some of the people that knew him best. He was heavily influenced by two of the top southern gospel music quartets, “The Blackwood Brothers” and “The Statesmen.” Also, Presley had a lifelong bond with gospel legend J.D. Sumner.

Presley once said, “Since I was two years old, all I knew was gospel music. That music became such a part of my life it was as natural as dancing. A way to escape from the problems. And my way of release.” As a kid, Presley’s favorite singer was southern gospel singer Jake Hess. He is also said to be one of Presley’s greatest influences to his unique style.

There was entire book written about the gospel music of Elvis. It is titled “The Gospel Side of Elvis,” and was written by Joe Moscheo. This is a really nice book written from a great perspective. Moscheo played piano in some songs for Elvis’ recordings in the studio. He also sang at Presley’s funeral, giving this book a unique and interesting perspective. There have been many other books and documentaries released analyzing Elvis’ gospel music career.

Although once he became famous, record executives imposed their will on him and he began writing hits like “Jailhouse Rock” and “Hound Dog,” Elvis never lost his love for the southern gospel music that he was raised on. Songs like “Jailhouse Rock” and Hound Dog” raised him to the status of musical icon, but gospel music was his first love.

Elvis was especially found of black gospel music. Another huge influence on Presley’s music was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. As a boy Elvis would rush home every day after school just to listen to her and other black gospel singers on a special show that featured it on the radio. Tharpe and Presley had something in common in that they both controversially blended styles of music. Presley blended country music with rhythm and blues, while Tharpe mixed black spirituals with big band jazz.

At many of his concerts Elvis would use gospel groups as his backup singers. These gospel groups would travel with him while he was on tour. Elvis would use gospel music to relax. It was also very common to see him listening to it to prepare for a show.

While it is very well-known that Elvis did listen to gospel music and even made gospel songs, many do not fully understand the extent of the impact that gospel music made on Elvis’ career. The impact the gospel had on him was not just limited to music. It has often been said that most of the literature Elvis carried was religous-based and that he never went on tour without the Bible. Few understand the important of faith in the life of Elvis Presley.

Steinway Artist Harry Connick, Jr. and Big Easy Musicians Perform at 2010 Governor’s Ball at The White House

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:30:19 +0000

Steinway Artist Harry Connick, Jr. and his band performed at the 2010 Governor’s Ball hosted by President and Mrs. Obama on Sunday evening, February 21. Due to a packed East Room of the White House, the usual piano that occupies the room (a 1938 Steinway Art Case piano) was replaced with a smaller Steinway Model O Grand piano that was provided by Steinway Piano Gallery, Washington, D.C. for the event.

During the day, Connick, Jr. and his band performed for (and with) a group of Washington-area music students at a preview of the night’s event led by Mrs. Obama. Prior to the performance, Mrs. Obama paid tribute to Connick, Jr. for his humanitarian efforts in co-founding the Musicians’ Village, part of the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity rebuilding effort following Katrina.

On December 3, 2009, President Obama and a group of world-renowned performers were on hand for the National Tree Lighting Ceremony. In a tradition dating back to 1923, the President was on hand at the Ellipse near the White House to light the tree while bringing a message of peace and hope to the world.

For this year’s event, a group of talented performers were selected to perform, including Steinway Artist Brad Mehldau, Grammy award winner Sheryl Crow, hip-hop artist Common, country artist Ray LaMontagne, American Idol Jordin Sparks, jazz artist Joshua Redman, and the all-female music ensemble Celtic Woman.

All of the event’s performers who played piano or had piano accompaniment used a Steinway Model D concert grand piano (identification number CD-381) that is part of Steinway’s famed bank of Concert & Artist pianos stationed around the world at Steinway dealers. The piano was delivered from Steinway Piano Gallery in Washington, DC for the event and technicians spent over 9 hours preparing the piano so it would be in perfect playing condition for the performances.

Steinway and the White House have a long and storied history. In 1903, the 100,000th Steinway grand piano was presented to the White House as a gift. It was featured in the East Room of the White House until 1938, when it was replaced by the 300,000th Steinway grand — an Art Case piano with gilt American Eagle supports that is undoubtedly the most famous piano in the White House. The 1938 grand piano is still featured in the East Room (and sometimes in the Entrance Hall) of the White House. The original 1903 grand piano now resides in the Smithsonian Museum.

The next stop for the Steinway concert grand piano used at the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony is the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. It is one of three Steinway grand pianos that are being provided for the Kennedy Center Honors Program, which will be televised on CBS, Tuesday, December 29 at 9 p.m. EST.

Buying A Wooden Restoration Project Boat

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:01:49 +0000

Wood Boat Restoration

How to find that perfect wooden boat restoration project. There are essential just three simple steps to follow in order to obtain the a desirable brand and make of wooden boat at a discount to market price. Things to consider, for instance within the contentnental United States the value of money varies greatly. Where a job paying $16 an hour in the midwest would be a respectable job, this same wage on the west coast would barely support living conditions. Some key areas of the country to target for boats in general is the midwest region surrounding the great lakes. Typically boats are always going to be cheaper within this region then they would be in on the east or west coast. Noteably though the size of the vessel your looking for might not be available in these regions as ocean fairing vessels will be larger.

What are the three main considerations for finding a good wooden boat restoration project, outside of boat condition, which might be a plus that is covered in another article. The three considerations to be made are as follows, what proximity to home does the restoration process have to be, finding the obscure gems, finding the unlisted gems.

What proximity to home does the project have to be, well the reason this comes up is the first topic referenced to above. Certain areas of the country will value assets at different prices, a $100,000 boat in the midwest may sell for $200,000 or more on the east and west coast. So if you have the time to work on a wooden boat restoration project within different regions of the country this might be the easiest way to save considerable money acquiring the boat of choice. Unfortunately for most of us this is not an option as we are unable to spend extended times away from home due to work or other issues. It still may be cheaper to purchase the boat and actually pay to have it moved, if the cost of the boat is $100,000 less in this region that means you can certainly cover the cost of moving the boat and still have saved considerably.

If looking in different regions on the country are not really an option then there are two more techniques that are very usefull. One looking obscure regions, within a tight geographical region prices are going to be the most expensive in metropolitan areas and close proximity of harbors. Starting the search within the interior may lead to savings as these boats are easily over looked. Especially wooden boat restoration projects, being that they are in the interior regions they are ussually equipped to be moved. That means you won’t be stuck at some marina working on the boat. It would be considerably easier to tow the boat home and be able to work on it.

Looking in places outside of the harbors is ussually the best way to find that low cost wooden boat restoration project; however, it is still important to check with the marinas. Every year people decide to undertake a restoration project or let a wooden boat sit too long. Many people find that they either get tired of the maintanance of wooden boat or that they are no longer interested in the restoration process. The biggest hinderance to restoration project can be the storage cost of leaving it a marina, infact many times these storage cost are more the capital spent on the boat. These leads to the abandonment of many boats, instead of paying the storage fees they owner opts to desert the boat and relinquish claim to it. The marinas are not interested in owning a project boat and are willing to get rid of at a extremely discounted rate in order to recoup the monies previously owed to them.

William Skalla II I started working on restoring wooden boats at a young age with my father. Like everything else it was mostly learned through trial and error, I hope to pass the knowledge I have acquired on.

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:49:08 +0000

After many years of working with museums and dealers in the area of antiquities, fine arts and collectibles, we have seen an increasing need for reliable, quality stock display materials.

Much time has been spent searching for products and refining our own designs. We have brought together what we believe is the finest selection of stock mountings and display items in the world. These items have been extensively tested and used by major American and European institutions and collectors and are now available to you.

Museum Display Stands

Whether utilized as a focal point of the room, or with a cluster of other items, museum display stands serve the purpose of showcasing your valuables, collectibles and other treasure with a sense of sophistication and importance. Our large selection of museum display stands are available in many different shapes and styles, and includes plate & bowl stands, jewelry stands, risers, blocks and bases of various shapes and sizes, mineral and fossil stands, and much more.

Fine Art and Display Lighting

By Russell Neal

Fine art and display lighting requires excellence in three arenas. First, it requires top quality equipment that will maximize artistic expression and not inadvertently damage art or create fire hazard in the process. Second, it requires trained, licensed electrical professionals who know how to install the equipment for safe and reliable performance. Third, and perhaps most overlooked in our industry, it requires the installer to view the project with the eye of an artist to achieve the maximum aesthetic outcome. For twenty-seven years, Illuminations Lighting and Design has built a reputation as Houston’s premier lighting design firm equally skilled in the technical and creative aspects of fine art museum and display lighting. Our trained and certified staff of electrical contractors has worked throughout greater Texas illuminating works by premier artists from around the world. Our team consists of experts in all types of accent lighting, display lighting, and fine art illumination.

We have consulted and lighted some of the world’s most prestigious public and private art collections, including works from renowned artists such as Chagall, Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Rockwell, Salvador Dali and Rembrandt. Many of these pieces are one of a kind and extremely sensitive to certain elements of light. Poorly installed equipment and inexperienced lighting design can damage these works of art irreversibly, so careful consideration needs to be taken when contracting an organization for display and fine art lighting services. It is essential to find a team like the one here at ILD who knows the destructive characteristics of the invisible light spectrum and that can harness and control infrared and ultraviolet radiation to prevent deterioration and fading of priceless art. Illuminations Lighting brings to the table an impeccable wealth of knowledge in fine art and display lighting fixtures combines with years of hands on experience working from one end of the lighting design spectrum to the other. Our expertise ranges from the very best low voltage accent lights on up to the complex Wendelighting™ optical projectors.

In addition to distributing only the most sophisticated fine art and display lighting equipment from the world’s top manufacturers, we also manufacture unique projectors and strip lights found nowhere else in the fine art and display lighting industry. Our Phantom Contour Projector dramatically highlights fine art work and sculpture on display by shaping the light to follow the exact contour of the object, producing a lighted look from within. Many premier galleries in Houston prefer the Phantom Projector as the optimal tool for fine art and display lighting because the projector itself installs above the eye line in the ceiling and produces a magical effect that brings out the full beauty of the world’s finest creativity. Regardless of whether you have a simple painting, a grouping of paintings or a tapestry, or a collection of three-dimensional art and sculpture, the results are simply spectacular.

For custom display lighting, Illuminations invented and patented the Phantom Strip Lighting System, which is marketed and distributed worldwide. Phantom Lighting is a low-voltage strip lighting system that illuminates coves, furniture, bookcases, breakfronts, and built-in displays. This patented adjustable shelf lighting method makes it possible to move and relocate individual shelves without the need for tools or rewiring while the light source itself remains hidden from the field of view. It also provides the perfect solution for bookcases and kitchen cabinetry with permanent or adjustable shelves. From a ballroom’s perimeter to very small spaces, such as coves, niches, corner cabinets and window valances, Phantom Lighting is the ultimate choice in residential and commercial linear illumination.

Whomever the artist and wherever the artwork is located, you can trust the professionals at Illuminations Lighting Design to design and implement a fine art lighting theme that will showcase your collection in the best possible light on a budget you can afford. Let a trained art lighting consultant help you with your collection.
