Podcast appearances and mentions of Arthur Collins

Earning their chops in medicine shows and with minstrel troupes in the late 1890s, brothers Frank and Bert Leighton wrote and/or arranged many ragtime pieces for use in vaudeville.Among their work was a 1912 version of “Frankie and Johnny,” penned with partner Ren Shields, that would set the tone for many future renditions of the song, including a monster hit a decade and half later for Charlie Poole and his North Carolina Ramblers.The song that Poole and his pals released as “Leaving Home” on Columbia Records in May 1927 already was pretty well known by musicians of the day.For instance, on the same label in the same year, popular band leader Ted Lewis recorded the same song with the title "Frankie and Johnny: You'll Miss Me in the Days to Come.” Lewis included only the chorus and not the verses.But it was a half dozen years before that that the first American recording of “Frankie and Johnny” was made by New Orleans-born Al Bernard, one of the first white singers to record blues tunes. (W.C. Handy credited Bernard, in fact, with helping his own career by recording a number of his songs, notably “St. Louis Blues.”)Whew! That's a lot of intersecting stories here, but let's roll it back to Charlie Poole and the Leighton boys. Kinney Rorer, in his seminal biography Rambling Blues: the Life & Songs of Charlie Poole, notes that the banjoist closely follows the version of “Leaving Home” that the Leighton brothers created, though there are some differences in Charlie's chorus.About the LeightonsNow, no one knows just how Poole learned that rendition, but the Leightons were pretty influential. Among the ragtime pieces they wrote was "There's A Dark Man Coming With A Bundle” and "Far Away in Honolulu (They've got the tango craze).” Their most memorable and influential song was "Steamboat Bill" in 1910, a parody of best-selling “Ballad of Casey Jones,” which had itself been based on a song from the Leightons' vaudeville routine. Arthur Collins recorded “Steamboat Bill” in 1911, which would inspire Charles Reisner to write a movie for comedian Buster Keaton called “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” which released as a silent film in 1928.That same year, Walt Disney found inspiration in the movie and in the song to create the first synchronized cartoon with sound, Steamboat Willie.Back to Johnny and His Murderous MistressAll the Frankie and Johnny variations were based on an actual murder. Here are the facts of the case:At 2 in the morning of Oct. 15, 1899, at an apartment building located at 212 Targee Street in St. Louis, 22-year-old Frankie Baker encountered her 17-year-old lover Allen (Albert) Britt as he stumbled back from a cakewalk in the company of a prostitute named Nelly Bly. Albert and Nellie had just won a prize in a slow-dancing contest, but Frankie didn't feel like celebrating. On the contrary, she felt like shooting her lover in the stomach, which she did. Albert died in City Hospital four days later.At trial, Frankie pleaded self-defense at her trial — she claimed Britt had attacked her with a knife prior to the shooting — and she was found not guilty.Weeks after the murder, St. Louis songwriter Bill Dooley composed “Frankie Killed Allen,” a tune that gained some currency. The first published version appeared in 1904, credited to Hughie Cannon (also remembered for his better-known composition “Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey”).That brings up to 1912 and the Frank and Bert Leighton version entitled “Frankie and Johnny” (because, well, “Johnny” apparently flowed better than “Allen” or “Albert”). Since then, there have been more than 250 versions of “Frankie and Johnny” recorded, not to mention several film adaptation over the years.Our Take on the TuneWhen Jack Nuckols switches from drums to fiddle, it often brings back lots of old memories of music parties 50 years ago. This is another song that Dave Peyton, Joe Dobbs and Charlie Bowen first heard at those parties when the good old Kentucky Foothill Ramblers, led by H. David Holbrook, could play a whole evening full of string band songs from the 1920s and ‘30s.This track is from last week's Flood affair, when the group's old band mate Paul Martin and his mandolin sat in with current Floodsters Charlie and Jack, Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton and Sam St. Clair.

In this episode, I talk with Annette Busbee (Writer/Executive Producer), Rod Blocksome (Retired Collins Employee), and Steve Tyson (Retired Collins Employee) about their documentary - The Collins Story - Connecting the Moon to the Earth: Steps to the Moon (Official Selection at the 2023 Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival)Steps to the Moon Synopsis: Before personal computers, the internet, smartphones and GPS connected us and guided out journeys, men on board the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space capsules talked to the earth, navigated in space and to the moon and back, and exchanged critical data with mission control. How was this accomplished five decades ago? By the ingenuity and dedication of The Collins Radio Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This first chapter of the series tells the story of young Arthur Collins, and how he grew his company into a significant contributor to the American space program. The film is about an Iowa-based company and the Iowans who worked there. The film was produced in Cedar Rapids, IAContent Includes: Why the Collins Story is Worth Telling, Lessons Learned During the Making of, Fundraising for a Documentary, Writing the Story, Testing Communications for Space, Importance of Engineers, Message for Aspiring Engineers, Upcoming Documentary Project, and More.Connect with Annette:ajbusbee (Instagram) - Click HereGet Involved with Screen SpeakInstagram: Click HereFacebook Community: Click HereContact: screenspeakpodcast@gmail.comLearn More About The Collins StoryTrailer - Click HereWatch Full Documentary - Watch HereArthur A.

Hear all about a brave bear named Wojtek who came to join the army in a time of war. After being released from Soviet prison camps, exiled Polish soldiers reunited under General Władysław Anders and were informally dubbed ‘Anders Army’.  This army, after evacuating the Soviet Union, traveled to the Middle East to join Allied forces. While in Iran, the Anders’ Army added an unlikely member to their ranks who played an important role in the company as he helped to boost morale, carry ammunition, and perform guard duties.  Though this soldier may appear to be rather typical, he was far from it. He was, after all, a Syrian brown bear. In this episode, our hosts John and Nitzan discuss the unbelievable story of Wojtek the bear and his legendary role in the 22nd Company of Anders’ Army. How did the army find this bear and why did they keep it, even incorporate it? How did Wojtek contribute to the military efforts? And what became of him after the war was over?

"This is Arthur Collins....."   Music by Joe Firth

Os Jovens Centuriões vão para uma caçada na Amazônia… Mas é uma caçada que eles não esperavam… Olá! Em nossa terceira Mesa Predestinada, dessa vez na 1911 de Young Centurions, os jovens centuriões do século XX têm uma missão aparentemente simples, que é participar de uma caçada para um circo dos Estados Unidos. Entretanto, eles perceberão que não são os únicos, e que diferentemente deles, esses caçadores não respeitam a natureza. Quando uma antiga Sombra do Século XIX ainda atua e causa problemas, eles terão como impedir que animais sejam chacinados? E qual será a participação de seus mentores, os antigos Espíritos do Século XIX, agora já despido da maior parte de seus poderes? Como lidar com isso? Como crianças de 10 anos podem ajudar nesse momento? Nosso contato para esse podcast é o email mesaspredestinadas@gmail.com, entre outros contatos a serem estipulados.

Ashley Giles was an England cricketer playing on the biggest stage of all, contesting an Ashes series in Australia, when the call came from home. His wife, Stine, had been diagnosed with a brain tumour – the size of a cricket ball. A decade ago she had surgery to remove it, and then -- later -- further treatment when a second tumour was discovered. Now, Ashley and Stine have founded the Giles Trust to help the next person that finds them self in the same situation. Dallas with Balls The new BBC drama The Rack Pack recalls a time when Britain was Snooker Loopy. How the brilliant but dull Steve Davis and the mercurial but flawed Alex Higgins took the sport to the top of television ratings. Steve Davis and his then manager, Barry Hearn, recall the 1980s heyday captured in the film, along with Steve Davis and Barry Hearn, actors Will Merrick and Kevin Bishop. Racing the Clock British sprinter Charles Eugster breaking records at 95, ‘The Golden Bolt’ doing likewise in Japan at the age of 105 ... veteran athletes are capturing the imagination as never before. Whatever happened to taking it easy? 88-year-old Betty Jean McHugh tells us that’s not an option. Since her first marathon at 55, she’s run another 20+ and broken multiple age-group world records. When she started, she’d train in the dark so people wouldn’t point and stare at an old lady out running. Why it’s Family Fortunes, not Family Feuds The Borlees are runners - Dad and Coach Jacques, identical twins Jonathon and Kevin, little brother Dylan and big sister Olivia. After three of them qualified for the Beijing Olympics, and two for London 2012, they're aiming for all four siblings to be on the plane to Rio. The three brothers join us from their training base in South Africa to talk Rio, family and what it's like having your Dad tell you what to do every day. Why world beaters can’t beat the Fever With the Australian Open nearing the end of its first week, this must be a strange time for Robin Soderling. It's the first Grand Slam event since his retirement last month. Once the fourth best player in the world, Glandular Fever had prevented him from playing a match since 2011. One person who wasn't surprised at all by Soderling's decision was Kate Grey. A year out from London 2012, the Paralympic swimmer was World Number One and favourite for gold. But, by the time the Games came around, she'd already been forced into retirement. Kate describes how coaches just thought she was tired, and then how her hair started to fall out and how she took so many antibiotics she became immune to their effects. Arthur who? When 1009 not-out was scored this month by a Mumbai schoolboy, the cricketing world compared him to Sachin Tendulkar and predicted a bright future. But what about the man whose record he broke? English schoolboy Arthur Collins, with his scored of 628, had held the world record for more than hundred years. Arthur's name was mentioned in this month's stories .. but that's about all. Four glorious afternoons of batting promised so much, but Arthur was weighed down by all the expectation. He joined the army and played for his regiment before, like so many, losing his life in the First World War.

The first book in the series, The Entomological Tales of Augustus T. Percival, titled, Petronella Saves Nearly Everyone, is written by Dene Low (a.k.a., my mom) and is published by Houghton Mifflin. You can buy it at any retailer of fine books (Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.) If your local bookseller does not carry it, you can ask that it be ordered in. The author will sign it for you if you pay for postage. I've done this, so I know it is true. Email her at denelow @ comcast.net (taking out the spaces, of course) and find out for yourself. A contract for producing an audiobook of this title is currently underway with Audible.com. My cousin Emily might get to be the voice. I used this set of instructions to record my Skype conversation with my mother. Dene Low's pitch line for this book, which she used in query letters for editors at publishing houses, was that this book was a combination of Sherlock Holmes, P. G. Wodehouse or Oscar Wilde, with a touch of Kafka. * Sherlock Holmes mystery stories were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. * P. G. Wodehouse wrote novels, short stories, and Broadway plays (search for "wodehouse"). He is perhaps best known for his Jeeves and Wooster characters. * Oscar Wilde wrote deeply ironic stories and plays (search for "wilde"). * Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis (second author entry on page). * Dene Low's book also has a lot in common with the better works of Georgette Heyer. My mom participates in a writers group, is active in her state and local literary societies, such as the local chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and attends writing conferences such as the Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers Workshop. She also has a contract with a literary agent. Dene Low's planned quartet of Petronella novels: 1. Petronella Saves Nearly Everyone 2. Petronella Saves Several More 3. Petronella Saves at Least One 4. Saving Petronella A "brick" is a wholly dependable person, someone you can really count on in a jam (search for "brick" after opening that link). "The Bulletin" is The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. Ann Cannon has also published under the name A. E. Cannon. I use Goodreads.com to keep track of which books I like and don't like, why I feel that way, and what these books might be useful for in the future. The Jo Sharp cardigan I'm working on is referenced in the show notes of episode two of this podcast. A gusset is a triangular addition to fabric, usually along a seam, to create more room in the finished piece. A worsted weight yarn is heavier/thicker than a DK weight yarn. Taking care of the chickens at the local organic farm is a lot of work because there are 200 chickens to care for. I may knit some cute baby caps for my friend's new baby. The music used in this episode is all British music from the decade 1900-1910, the decade in which my mother's book is set. I got it from the Internet Archive, and it is all shared in accordance with a Creative Commons license. "Nothing Hardly Ever Troubles Me" is by Arthur Collins and Byron G. Harlan. "What D'Yer Want to Talk About It For?" is by Harry Bluff. "I Remember You" is by Ada Jones.
