First, this is a no cover charge, no drinks minimum sort of joint, and if the burgers and fries tend to be a little greasy, the jukebox is, I assure you, eclectic (and will be more so as entries are added).\u00a0 So, soda shop for after school teens? Blues club (rural or urban)? Crossroads honkytonk where the farm folk gather?\u00a0 Up to you. \u00a0Imagine it as you will. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Second, the occasion for these entries is in part Ticket Stubs & Liner Notes<\/em><\/a>, a collection of poems that draws on American music of the 1950s and 1960s.\u00a0 These website entries (along with recordings of the poems) provide context for those who haven\u2019t heard of Chuck Berry, Sun Ra, Bill Monroe, and other figures from those years who figure in the poems.\u00a0 (For the book\u2019s blurbs, which further characterize the work, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 If you think you might want to order your very own copy, the link above will beam you over to the publisher\u2019s order page.)<\/p>\n

Third, these entries (combining commentaries, reflections, and media links) are framed for those who are simply curious about the music and figures of this era, who are possibly interested in how the music was heard then, and how \u201cthen\u201d might offer ways to re-hear the music now.<\/p>\n
