Kay Kyser

James Kern Kyser (June 18, 1905 – July 23, 1985), known as Kay Kyser, was an American bandleader and radio personality of the 1930s and 1940s.

Early years
Kyser was born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, the son of pharmacists Emily Royster Kyser (née Howell) and Paul Bynum Kyser. He was one of six children, and his mother was the first registered female pharmacist in the state. Journalist and newspaper editor Vermont C. Royster was his cousin. Kyser graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928, where he was senior class president and was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity.

Owing to his popularity and enthusiasm as a cheerleader, he was invited by Hal Kemp to take over as bandleader when Kemp ventured north to further his career. He began taking clarinet lessons but was better as an entertaining announcer than a musician. He adopted the initial of his middle name as part of his stage name, for its alliterative effect.

Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge

 * ''See main article, Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge.

Long before his national success, Kyser recorded two sessions for Victor in the late 1920s (Camden, New Jersey in November 1928 and Chicago in early 1929). These were issued on Victor's V-40000 series devoted to country music and regional dance bands. Following graduation, Kyser and his band, which included Sully Mason on saxophone and arranger George Duning, toured Midwest restaurants and night clubs and gradually built a following.

They were popular at Chicago's Blackhawk restaurant, where Kyser came up with an act combining a quiz with music which became "Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge." The act was broadcast on the Mutual Broadcasting System in 1938 and then moved to NBC Radio from 1939 to 1949. The show rose in the ratings and spawned many imitators. Kyser led the band as "The Ol' Perfessor", spouting catchphrases, some with a degree of Southern American English: "That's right—you're wrong", "Evenin' folks, how y'all?" and "C'mon, chillun! Le's dance!"

Big band era
Although Kyser and his orchestra gained fame through the "Kollege of Musical Knowledge," they were a successful band in their own right. They had 11 number one records, including some of the most popular songs of the late 1930s and early 1940s.

Unlike most other big bands of the era, which centered on only the bandleader, individual members of Kyser's band became stars in their own right and would often receive the spotlight. Some of the more popular members included vocalist Harry Babbitt, cornetist Merwyn Bogue (a.k.a. Ish Kabibble), trombonist Bruce King, saxophonist Jack Martin (who sang lead vocal on the number one hit, "Strip Polka"), Ginny Simms (who had her own successful acting and singing career after leaving Kyser's band), Sully Mason, Mike Douglas (years before he became a popular TV talk show host) and Georgia Carroll.

Carroll, a blonde fashion model and actress whose best-known role was Betsy Ross in Yankee Doodle Dandy, was dubbed "Gorgeous Georgia Carroll" when she joined the group in 1943. Within a year, she and Kyser married.

Kyser was also known for singing song titles, a device copied by Sammy Kaye and Blue Barron. When the song began, one of the band's lead singers (usually Babbitt) sang the title phrase, and then the first verse or two of the song was performed instrumentally before the lyrics resumed. Several of his recordings spawned catch phrases, such as "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition".

His group had a major hit with the novelty tune, "Three Little Fishes". It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA.

During the Swing Era, Kyser, Hal Kemp and Tal Henry often performed in or near New York City, making possible a reunion of North Carolina musicians. Later, after retirement, Kyser and Henry got together to share music world memories.

Inspired by Rosalind P. Walter, Kyser helped popularize the song "Rosie the Riveter".

Movies
During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Kyser's band appeared in several motion pictures, usually as themselves, beginning with the successful That's Right – You're Wrong (1939), You'll Find Out (1940), Playmates and My Favorite Spy. Some of the films built a plot around the band. Around the World (1943) fictionalized the band's international tours of military camps.

In Carolina Blues (1944), Kyser has to replace his lead singer (Carroll) who has run off to get married. Caught in a jam, he reluctantly hires the daughter of a powerful defense plant owner, played by Ann Miller. Two of the band's best-known performance appearances were in 1943 when they appeared in the wartime films Stage Door Canteen and Thousands Cheer. Kyser appeared as a light comedian; he acted with (and was billed above) John Barrymore in Barrymore's final film Playmates (1941). Kyser is the dupe in a scam where Barrymore pretends to teach him how to act in Shakespearean drama.

Kyser also appeared in a Porky Pig cartoon, Africa Squeaks (1940). In the cartoon, he voiced a caricature of himself called "Cake-Icer," at the request of director Bob Clampett. A caricature (unnamed) of Kyser as the "Lil Perfessor" was seen in the Warner Brothers cartoon Malibu Beach Party.

After the war, Kyser's band continued to record hit records, including two featuring Jane Russell as vocalist. It's All Up to You features vocals by Frank Sinatra and Dinah Shore, although Kyser's participation in this recording is disputed, record label showing Axel Stordahl as conductor. Kyser had intended to retire following the end of the war, but performance and recording contracts kept him in show business for another half decade.

During this time, Kyser made a cameo appearance in a Batman comic book. Kyser was first to introduce the new sonic audio process called the 'sonovox', a singing electronic voice triggered by music. The Sonovox would be used by Jingle Companies such as PAMS and JAM Creative Productions, and said jingles would be used in heavy rotation by rock radio stations such as WABC, WMEX, WXYZ, KONO, WKDA, and WHTZ.

Television
In 1949 and 1950, "Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge" aired on NBC-TV. In addition to Kyser, the TV show featured Ish Kabibble and vocalists Mike Douglas, Sue Bennett and Liza Palmer, plus The Honeydreamers vocal group and the dance team of Diane Sinclair and Ken Spaulding. Ben Grauer was the announcer during the first season. Always the businessman, Kyser reunited his band especially for this series and just as quickly disbanded it when the show ended. After a four-year hiatus, the "Kollege of Musical Knowledge" was revived by Tennessee Ernie Ford, prior to the launching of his own NBC program, The Ford Show, which ran from 1956 to 1961.

Radio (non-musical)
Kyser and Ginny Simms co-starred in "Niagara to Reno" (described as "an original comedy") on CBS radio's Silver Theater April 6, 1941.

Post musical career
After retiring from music, Kyser became involved with his church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist. When he was a child, his mother turned to a Christian Science practitioner for healing while apparently on her deathbed. In 1932, Kay recalled her recovery and turned to a practitioner himself while feeling the need for spiritual guidance; the practitioner encouraged him to continue with music, so he could use his talents to help people relieve tension in their lives. Kyser recalled: "I felt so healed that I quit worrying about it and for the next 18 years I couldn’t think of anything except how to make better records and how to make the music more danceable. ... Underlying that was the unquenchable desire to serve mankind’s needs." In the 1940s, he began to experience his own health problems, which at times confined him to a wheelchair, and he turned to the religion in earnest; becoming a practitioner himself in 1961, a teacher of Christian Science a few years afterwards, and in 1974 working at the church's headquarters in Boston directing its radio and television broadcasting. In the late 70s and early 80s he traveled around as a Christian Science lecturer, and in 1983, he became the church's president, a one-year position which he referred to as "honorary", joking that he hadn't "been elected Pope or anything".

Kyser supported various philanthropic causes after his retirement from music including health care, educational television, and highway safety. Kyser supported the construction of a wing in St. John's hospital in Santa Monica, and there is a portrait of him at the entrance of its medical library. He also helped raise $62 million to build more hospitals and train nurses in his home state of North Carolina, lobbied the state legislature, and had his entertainment friends including Frank Sinatra and Dinah Shore do a commercial in support of expanding healthcare in the state. Kyser also supported his old school, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, especially the arts, through the Kyser Foundation which gave scholarships to UNC music and drama students; and supported the university's theatre, pharmacy school, and its Center for Public Television. He also gave to the North Carolina Symphony Society, the first state symphony orchestra in the country.

In 1962, several members of the Kay Kyser team (including Babbit, Kabibble, and Simms but not Kyser himself) reunited at Capitol Records to record an album of new versions of Kyser's greatest hits. Comedian Stan Freberg, one of Capitol's regular artists, did an impression of Kay's original song introductions.

Family
Kyser and Georgia Carroll remained married until his death. They moved back to Kyser's home state of North Carolina where they lived in his uncle's old house, the oldest house in Chapel Hill, and raised their three daughters – Amanda, Carroll, and Kimberly, who all graduated from his alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Death
Kyser died of a heart attack in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on July 23, 1985. He was buried at Old Chapel Hill Cemetery in Chapel Hill.

Legacy
Kyser was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1990.

Kyser was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 1999.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is custodian of a large archive of documents and material about Kyser which was donated by his widow and made available to the public on April 8, 2008.

Not Drowning, Waving

Not Drowning, Waving (styled as not drowning, waving) were a musical group formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1983 by David Bridie and John Phillips. Their music combined elements of rock, ambient music and world music; their lyrics dealt with characteristically Australian topics: word-pictures of landscapes and people, the seasons, and some political issues – such as Indonesia's invasion of East Timor. The group released six studio albums and two soundtracks until disbanding in 1994, they briefly reformed in 2001, 2003 and 2005–2006. From 2005 to 2007, they issued three compilation albums. Not Drowning, Waving won the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 1992 for Proof, their soundtrack for the 1991 film of the same name. In 1991, Bridie and fellow members of Not Drowning, Waving, formed a side-project, My Friend The Chocolate Cake to play more acoustic-based material.

1983–1985: Beginnings and Another Pond
Not Drowning, Waving were formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1983 by David Bridie and John Phillips. Bridie and Phillips are trained in classical music and met when Bridie, on keyboards, was composing a track, "Moving Around" and asked Phillips to provide guitar. Their name is derived from Stevie Smith's poem "Not Waving but Drowning". Rowan McKinnon soon joined on bass guitar and they recorded "Moving Around" with a drum machine. Other atmospheric instrumentals were recorded at the LaTrobe University's music department's studio. "Moving Around" was released as their debut single in April 1984 on the Rampant Records label. Tim Cole on vocals and Russel Bradley on drums joined the group. Another Pond was released in January 1985. In September 1985, the band released a dance single, "Mr Pooh, (Do Be a Don't Be)".

1986–1992 :The Little Desert, Cold and the Crackle, Claim and Tabaran
Not Drowning, Waving's second album, The Little Desert was released in January 1986. Bridie and Phillips also worked on the soundtrack for Canoe Man, a documentary about canoe makers from Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. Their work resulted in a six-track extended play (EP), The Sing Sing, which was released in June. Other members of Not Drowning, Waving have included Penny Hewson and Andrew Carswell.

In June 1987, the band released their third studio album, Cold and the Crackle which was followed in December 1987 with an EP, I Did, recorded with Robby Douglas Turner on vocals. By 1989, Not Drowning, Waving left Rampant Records and signed with Mighty Boy to issue their fourth album, Claim in May. The album was voted 'Best Australian Album' on the Australian Rolling Stone Critics Poll in 1989. In 1989, Bradley, Bridie and Mountfort formed a side project, My Friend The Chocolate Cake, as an acoustic music group after Bridie took a holiday in New Zealand and wrote a collection of songs that did not fit into the Not Drowning, Waving style.

Later in 1989, the group visited Papua New Guinea playing several concerts and meeting George Telek (Moab Stringband, Painim Wok) with whom they later recorded two tracks for their next album, Tabaran which was released late in 1990. Tabaran was credited to Not Drowning, Waving and the Musicians of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea Featuring Telek. Helen Mountfort had joined on cello in 1990, and the group covered The Reels track "Kitchen Man" for a various artists' album, Used and Recovered By (1990). Not Drowning, Waving recorded the soundtrack for 1991 film Proof which was released in April 1992.

In May 1992, they were the support act for David Byrne at the State Theatre in Sydney, Australia, playing: Palau, Amidel, The Kiap Song, Crazy Birds, Willow Tree, Terra Nullius, Albert Namatjira, The Migrant, and Sing Sing.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1992, Tabaran was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Indigenous Release, while Proof won ARIA Award for Best Independent Release.

1993–1994 :Circus and break up
In 1993, the group released their sixth studio album Circus, which was recorded at the Rockfield Studios in Wales and produced by Hugh Jones.

In 1994, they were the support act for Peter Gabriel on his first tour of Australia. Late in the year, Bridie and Montfort recorded the soundtrack for the film Hammers Over the Anvil, they used Jen Anderson on violin (ex-The Black Sorrows) and the horn section from Hunters & Collectors. It was released in 1994 as Hammers under the name Not Drowning, Waving. The group disbanded in 1994, while Bridie and Mountfort continued with their offshoot venture, My Friend The Chocolate Cake.

2001–2007: Reunions
In November 2001, a short reunion of Not Drowning, Waving – consisting of Bradley, Bridie, Mountfort, Phillips and Southall in the line-up – occurred at the Corner Hotel in Richmond for the book launch of Blunt: A Biased History of Australian Rock.

In February 2003, they reunited again for The Morning Star Concert for West Papua at the Melbourne Concert Hall.

Another reunion, for several months, started in March 2005 when the band, together with Telek, performed twice at the 2005 WOMADelaide festival. Several other performances followed – at the 10th Fest'Napuan in Port Vila, Vanuatu; the Corner Hotel; and the Northcote Social Club, Northcote. The band's final show with the full lineup took place at Festival Melbourne 2006 in the Alexandra Gardens, a free concert for Melbourne's Commonwealth Games celebrations on 25 March 2006. During this time they issued two compilation albums, Through the One Last Door – Best Of (2005) and Maps for Sonic Adventurers (2006). A live album of performances from 1986 to 2005 was released as Live (At the Butchers' Picnic) in 2007.

Polarization
Actually, the polarization article does define p and s polarization. It even has a diagram. It does not, on the other hand, define "plane of incidence", so ironically your edit was guilty of exactly the thing you were complaining about—using a technical term without defining it. I reverted to the explanation that used terms defined in the article. I'll take a look and see if I can make the definitions of p and s a little more obvious.--Srleffler 03:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

RE: Your responses to Conspiracy Theory show
To the last person who said this is a discussion about the article only...this board is for discussing the show which the article is written about. If something changes with the show, it affects the article. By the way, we might want to mention how there are some behind the scenes things going on. Alex Jones said along with multiple other alternative media outlets that the Police State episode was only aired once even though it was scheduled to re-air two more times and pulled both times. It is because of pressure from our government and elites about the truth behind the Police State episode that they don't want it aired again. Also they are doing an episode on the BP Oil Spill, I heard Alex Jones mention that too who is in the episode as a consultant he said. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.31.106.34 (talk) 17:54, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 * this board is for discussing the show which the article is written about

 * Sorry, it's not. READ: WP:TPG. You will see Talk Pages are reserved for discussing specifically article content and ways to improve it. It's not for unrelated information about the article's subject. Meaning it's not for asking why TruTV pulled an episode, or rescheduled things, your personal opinions about the show. Take those topics to some other off-site discussion forum.

 * If something changes with the show, it affects the article.

 * Um, yeah it effects as far as an accurate air date which I at least try to keep on top of. Yes, dates change, it happens, I'm sure orbital mind control lasers had nothing to do with it.

 * It is because of pressure from our government and elites about the truth behind the Police State episode that they don't want it aired again.

 * Again thats your PERSONAL OPINION and your drawing conclusions that aren't proven. In case you didn't notice, several networks made abrupt changes to shows last month and this month because of the holidays. I edit other TV shows like Ghost Hunters, Ancient Aliens, Fact or Faked, even Hollywood Treasure and their schedules were all screwed up from what was on their official network pages.

Talk:Buck Owens

Comment
This comment left on the article amused me, so I thought I'd leave it here on talk:

 * Buck Owens, who was erroneously reported as dead by prankster, J Allen Brown, is alive and well and hopes that everyone who lost a wager will get full revenge. Pranksters need to spell the name Bethesda accurately. It's not Bathesda. Good try and you can let me know when dinner will be served!!

album cover image
I'm restoring the image of the "Buck Owens in Japan" album. Lo-res images of album covers do not violate Fair Use, and its purpose in illustrating an example of his Capitol Records output being side by side with the text describing his signing for Capitol Records is so obvious it shouldn't have to be explained. wikipediatrix 17:27, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Admin assistance requested. Please understand I have Wikipedia's interests in mind as I pursue this. Radio  Kirk   talk to me  17:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not an admin, but as User:RadioKirk has asked me for my opinion, here it is. The resolution is not the problem. There is also not a problem with the uploading of album cover images. You are right in saying that the guidelines in uploading say that they can be used under the  fair use doctrine.  The isssue is in how and where the image is used.  In the template that was added to the image it says that fair use is dependent upon certain factors, including that it is used "solely to illustrate the album or single in question".  It is not being used "solely to illustrate the album ... in question" as the album itself is not discussed.  There are some people that interpret that to mean that it can only be used in an article about the album or single itself, but the template does not actually say that.  I think that a fair use claim can be made if the album or its artwork are being discussed, but this is only my opinion.   The point is, that in the Buck Owens article this is not the case, so under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines and policies, it does not meet the criteria.  If it was possible to include extra text in the article that discusses this album, a fair use claim could perhaps be made.  Rossrs 13:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The promotional postcard pictured at the top of the page is also not specifically discussed in the article. Both the postcard and the album are printed materials disseminated by Capitol Records in the 1960s. Does this mean this image should go too? Wikipedia's Fair Use guide says images should "specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text", and I think anyone can plainly see that a picture of one of Buck's Capitol albums specifically illusrates the text about Buck putting out Capitol albums. If it has to be SO specific that the album must be named in the text, then fully half the images on Wikipedia that are similar "example pics" must be removed. For example, there is a Hawksbill turtle pictured on Turtle, even though Hawksbill turtles are not specifically mentioned in the text. (And yes, I know the turtle pic is from Wikimedia Commons, but that's beside my point.)wikipediatrix 14:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Not to substitute as a reply from Rossrs but, when I added the postcard, the Buckaroos were mentioned in the article, which I believe was enough; they've since been edited out. I'll fix that in a moment. Radio  Kirk   talk to me  14:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The postcard image may or may not constitute fair use. That's not for us to determine and as editors we can't prove anything to be fair use, however the requirement is that the image is sourced, correctly tagged and contains a fair use rationale, so that if the fair use of it is ever challenged we have something to work with to enable us to state our case.  Promo photos are generally believed to constitute fair use here if these points are addressed and they are relevant to the article. Identifying a personality, particularly "in character" is generally accepted if the image was originally created specifically for the promotion of that person.    If the postcard image was put into an article about something indirectly related, say "jackets", the image would not be fair just because Owens and his crew are wearing jackets.  A "jacket" could be otherwise illustrated, whereas to illustrate Owens himself, we really need a photo.  If there was a public domain photo of Owens it would supersede any fair use image we might have of him.   Your quote from the fair use guide is correct but you'd need to go deeper into the various types of images and their uses.  The easiest way to see how an album cover is regarded is to read the "album cover" template.  As I said earlier, I believe that expanding the text so that this particular album cover becomes relevant, rather than just Capital covers in general, would strengthen the claim for fair use.  An example on one of the policy pages - and I'm sorry I can't remember where I saw it - says that if an album cover contains an image of a rose, the album cover can't fairly be used to illustrate the article "rose" because we can find free images of a rose.  I believe that an album cover with Buck Owens' image on it, can be used in the Buck Owens article, provided the album is discussed.  There is possibly not a lot that could or should be said about the album, but if it is at least named and perhaps described briefly it would suffice.  I agree that there are many album cover images being incorrectly used, and I added quite a few myself in my early days here before I was made aware of the fair use policy as it exists here. Many of them should be removed. The hawksbill turtle pic could probably be fair use if it wasn't from Commons, it would depend how it was used, and how it was rationalised on the image description page. Rossrs 15:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for weighing in. One question, though: does not the image page itself need a rationale for the claim of fair use (a la the pics at Lindsay Lohan), or is clicking "Album Cover" enough? Radio  Kirk   talk to me  13:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think "Album cover" is enough, at least for now. The main points of the fair use rationale are contained within the template, and I've never seen anyone seriously try to enforce having a set of points added (if anyone did bother, they would be extremely generic, I'm sure).  Perhaps because it's being used outside of the context of the album itself, it might be beneficial, but that would only be if the text was expanded to include discussion of the album.  It's different with promo pics (and other types of images) as their sources/copyrights/uses are so varied that the rationale serves to clarify. Rossrs 14:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you. I figured, when it came to a potential copyright issue, that caution was best. :) Radio  Kirk   talk to me  14:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * "Caution" is the official Wikipedia policy on such matters ;-) Rossrs 14:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hehe thanks. :) Radio  Kirk   talk to me  14:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so...
...I've inserted some text about the Buck Owens in Japan album so that the tail can wag the dog :)  There's a considerable gap in the biography, with the years 1961-1967 left unreported on, perhaps someone can fill some of that in. Other relevant matters that probably need coverage include his Buck Owens Ranch Show television program and something about Susan Raye. wikipediatrix 19:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I'll probably add stuff here and there as time permits; meantime, I (and/or someone else) should work more prose into the existing text—currently, parts of it ("In 1967" ... "In 1968" ... "In 1969") read like bullet points. Radio  Kirk   talk to me  20:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Buck's marriages
My sister, Jana Jae Owens, was married to Buck Owens from May 2, 1977 to the spring of 1979. Divorce proceedings were handled by LA attorney, Marvin Mitchelson. There was never an annulment; the parties were divorced. Jana was Buck's third wife. Jennifer Smith was Buck's fourth wife. Jana was a fiddle player in Buck's band: the first female member of the Buckaroos, "Buckarette" as Buck said. She signed a contract with him in the summer of 1974, after Don Rich's death. She recorded with Buck, and she also appeared on Hee Haw for many years, both with Buck and as a single performer.

Only read through it once, but the text under the death subheading says Owens had three wives, but then goes on to only mention two (apparently from the above he had four). Perhaps this paragraph should be rewritten to mention all of his former wives. jmdeur 19:38, March 24, 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.148.60.151 (talk) text under the death subheading says Owens had four wives, but then goes on to mention five — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.0.250 (talk) 07:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Other discrepancies in this section:

(1) Buck couldn't have married Parnice in 1950 if he and Bonnie weren't separated until 1951.

(2) If he had two sons by Bonnie and one by Parnice, then the son by Phyllis would've been his fourth son, not third. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.198.85.25 (talk) 22:40, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

comma with apposition
The way I learned it is that "his onetime bandmate, Merle Haggard" means Haggard was his only former bandmate, while "his onetime bandmate Merle Haggard" means Haggard was one of his former bandmates. Thus "George Washington's wife, Martha", but "Joseph Smith's wife Lucinda". (He had dozens of others.) That's why I took out the comma. Another possibility, though, is "Merle Haggard, a onetime bandmate". —JerryFriedman 22:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Singles discography
The singles discography section has been modified, correcting some spelling and title inaccuracies and adding songs that were not represented in previous editions. Additionally, the "ALL CAPS" format has been also modified. I can't vouch that it is 100% complete, as I was using Billboard's Book of Top 40 Country Singles (found in total for Buck on Google Books) as a guide, thereby perhaps neglecting anything that peaked at #41 or lower. But if it meets approval, maybe the "please modify" might be lifted from that section?Cvbear (talk) 03:44, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Major edit on this page
Some time ago, I rewrote the introduction paragraph to this article because it was completely wrong. It originally contained statements about the "gritty" Bakersfield sound, which in my opinion is complete nonsense. There is nothing gritty about the Buckaroo sound: it is characterized by extremely precise, stacatto lyrics, and carefully concise string work. In any case, someone made a major edit to my entry, and please forgive me, I find the writing to be extremely poor:

 * Buck Owens and the Buckaroos pioneered what has come to be called the Bakersfield sound — a reference to Bakersfield, California, the city Owens called home and from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call "American Music".[1]

...for what he preferred to call "American Music?" I'm sorry, but while this edit provides new and useful information, I don't consider it to be an improvement over mine. I have been tempted for months to merely revert this edit, mainly for stylistic reasons, but I don't want to be rash. I would appreciate it if someone would rewrite this paragraph to be more grammatical and stylistically correct. Once again, I would do it myself, but I don't want to get into a revert war.

I have reverted your changes once again. I don't have a copy of the book you are citing as a source, but I've looked at a number of obituaries and none of them mention daughters or the extra wife. You are showing Bonnie Owens as his second wife. He married her when he was 17. Is it possible he was married before? Sure. But not a single obit mentions a wife previous to her. All of the obits give his birth name. You are saying he was born without a name. All of the obits mention his sons. None mention any daughters. You are making large scale changes to this article. Changes of this scope, especially when they contradict sources already used in the article, need to be discussed first. I suggest we proceed step by step through the major changes you want to make. Sperril (talk) 22:23, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Oops. Meant to post the above earlier and never saved my edits. Sperril (talk) 22:23, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

 * You having a picture of him with his daughter doesn't constitute a WP:RS. I have a lot of pictures of myself with youngsters who are not my children.  Also, an amendment to his birth certificate doesn't mean he wasn't named until 1965.  It means his birth certificate wasn't corrected until 1965.  You will also note that his father's name on the birth certificate was also amended.  You need a source that literally says he had no name at birth.  I have multiple sources that say what his birth name was.  Either way, your edits are contested by myself and another editor.  You need to stop adding your changes back in or you could be blocked for edit warring.  You are already in violation of the three revert rule.  I am not pressing the issue because I believe you are trying to make good changes to the article and are not experienced with our policies.  Please revert the article back to the way it was and lets start discussing the changes you want to make.  I'm quite open to working with you to correct the deficiencies in this article.  Sperril (talk) 05:08, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Claiming that he didn't get a name until 1965 is absurd. The name was not recorded on his birth certificate until 1965, but that's a different thing. I'll remove that whoel sentence, it's really not of any interest (and the grammar is terrible). --OpenFuture (talk) 05:46, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Unless a reasonable objection is raised here, I am going to revert the article to it's form before the Msc_44 edits in a few hours. I think the best way to proceed is going to be to discuss these edits one at a time.  I think some of these edits are good and Buck Owens' history certainly seems to be muddier than I would have thought.  But some of these edits, (number of children, number of wives, etc...) are major departures from his "official" biography.  Since some of these people are alive today, it is more important to get it right than to get it done quickly. Sperril (talk) 17:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Msc_44 beat me to the punch. The only changes I've made are to clean up the section on his personal life, and to fix the book descriptions.  An IP editor had added a bunch of opinion to that section.  Would Msc like to open any discussion about changes at this point? Sperril (talk) 00:49, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Parahippus

Parahippus ("near to horse" ), is an extinct equid, a relative of modern horses, asses and zebras. It lived from 24 to 17 million years ago, during the Miocene epoch. It was very similar to Miohippus, but slightly larger, at around 1 m tall, at the withers. Their fossils have been found in North America, primarily in the Great Plains region and Florida.

Description
Parahippus was larger than Miohippus, with longer legs and face. The bones in the legs were fused and this, along with muscle development, allowed Parahippus to move with forward-and-back strides. Flexible leg rotation was eliminated, so that the animal was better adapted to fast forward running on open ground without moving from side to side. Most importantly, Parahippus was able to stand on its middle toe, instead of walking on pads, which gave it the ability to run faster; its weight was supported by ligaments under the fetlock to the big central toe.

Since leafy food had become scarce, these animals were forced to subsist on the newly evolved grasses that were by now taking over the plains, and their teeth adapted accordingly. The extra molar crest that was variable in Miohippus became permanent in Parahippus. The molars developed high crowns and a hard covering for grinding the grass, which was typically covered with high-silica dust and sand.

The Greater of Two Evils

The Greater of Two Evils is an album by American heavy metal band Anthrax. It was released in November 2004 via Sanctuary and is the last Anthrax release prior to the band's reunion with Joey Belladonna and guitarist Dan Spitz.

The album is made up of 14 songs from the band's early era that were first released between 1983 and 1990. These tracks have been re-recorded by Anthrax's 2004 lineup, with vocalist John Bush recording new versions of songs originally sung by Neil Turbin and Joey Belladonna. The final track listing was decided by a vote on the band's website. The track list was then recorded by the band "live" in the studio over two days. The album was originally going to be named "Metallum Maximum Aeturnum", with possible plans to change it to "Old School, New School, Our School: Metallum Maximum Aeturnum" or "Metal Thrashing Mad: Metallum Maximum Aeturnum". The album sleeve features liner notes by comedian and Anthrax fan Brian Posehn.

The album did not chart in the US, selling 3,421 copies in its first week.

Bonus disc (Japanese edition)
The following tracks are available on a 2-disc Japanese version sold in other countries as an import.

Trivia

 * The Japanese katakana writing on the front cover says: スラッシュ　メタル, literally Surasshu Metaru (a transliteration of "thrash metal").
 * On the original version of the album, "Lone Justice" appears as a hidden track. It begins after "Gung-Ho" ends, and is followed by the sound of "Lone Justice" being rewound. The song was included due to what seemed to be a strong demand for the track to be recorded by the members of the band's official message board, although many on the board claimed that the high votes for the song were a result of internet sabotage of the voting process. This addition to the album was not included on the Japanese edition, which featured an additional disc, on which "Lone Justice" was featured as a separate track.
 * "Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.)" is listed as N.F.L. on the cover of the album.

Personnel

 * John Bush – lead vocals
 * Rob Caggiano – lead guitar, rhythm guitar on "Panic" and "Anthrax"
 * Scott Ian – rhythm guitar, backing vocals, lead guitar on "Panic" and "Anthrax"
 * Frank Bello – bass, backing vocals
 * Charlie Benante – drums

Talk:Aurelia gens

Untitled
Since, I'm guessing from the article, Aurelii means 'the golden', is 'the Aurelii' just another one of those examples of an erroneous double 'the' (like 'the hoi polloi')? If not, can someone who knows more than me make the inital sentence read a bit better? mat_x 13:55, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The name of the gens was "Aurelii;" therefore, they are "the Aurelii." Even though Aurelii means "the golden," Romans would still have used the Latin equivalent of "the" when referring to them. So, in short, the "the" is not an error. Kuralyov 06:29, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * There is no exact equivalent of "the" in Latin. Latin nouns didn't require articles such as "a", "an", and "the".  But we do require them in English (and most other languages, including those based on Latin), so when writing in English we use these words to refer to people, even if their names are Latin and we follow Latin conventions for gender and number.  However, "Aurelii" doesn't mean "the golden" precisely.  There's no such adjective as aureleus in Latin.  The adjective meaning "golden" is aureus, and there's no "the" in it (or anywhere else in Latin).  We add such things only when translating names into other languages (such as English).  Aurelius could be derived from aureus or from a more obscure word.  When I had an article on names from the original Pauly-Wissowa translated, it mentioned a possible nomen Auselius as the archaic form of Aurelius, in which case it would seem to be connected with the sun (although that word might share a common root with aureus).  P Aculeius (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Was Marcus Aurelius Really One of the Aurelii?
I've traced out several generations of the emperor Marcus Aurelius' ancestors, and I don't see any evidence for calling him one of the Aurelii. His name at birth was Marcus Annius Caitilius Serverus, and at marriage he took the name Marcus Annius Verus--i.e., nothing Aurelian in either of them. His father was named Marcus Annius Verus, as was his paternal grandfather, and his paternal great-grandfather before that. His mother Domitia was of the Lucillus family.

It looks to me like he included the name Aurelius in the name he took on as emperor purely as a way of honoring his predecessor, adoptive father, and uncle *by maaariage only,* Antoninus Pius, who was clearly an Aurelian. (Antoninus Pius was born Titus Aurelius Fulvus, as were his father and grandfather before him.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Unauthvu (talk • contribs) 22:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

 * Marcus Aurelius was adopted into the family of Antoninus Pius, who, as the previous post notes, was born Titus Aurelius Fulvus, and this made Marcus Aurelius legally a member of the gens Aurelia. Of course, Antoninus was adopted by Hadrian, who was adopted by Trajan, who was adopted by Nerva... and so was Marcus Aurelius' cousin, Lucius Verus.  By this point, figuring out what gens somebody in the imperial household belonged to was so confused that their children might have multiple nomina or even different nomina... and that assumes that we know their full legal names, which for obvious reasons weren't always used.  So for convenience we treat descendants, whether adopted or not, as members of the gens Aurelia, at least to the extent that they seemed to use Aurelius as a nomen, or one of their nomina.  But we can also place the ones who were actually born into another gens with those pages as well.  P Aculeius (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Marcus Aurelius was from the gens Annia by birth. He was adopted by Antoninus Pius, thus resulting in him being part of the gens Aurelia by adoption. Lupus Bellator (talk) 18:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

The Aurelii and the cult of the sun
The Aurelii introduced in Rome the cult of the sun and for holding its rites the state assigned to them a plot of public land. Festus states this p. 120 L second. Interestingly they were of Sabin origin and their name should have been originally Auselii, in the Sabin language ausil meaning the sun (cf. Etr. god Usil) according to Varro Lingua Latina V 68 and Festus loc. cit.Aldrasto11 (talk) 04:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Gens Claudia was also Sabine. Zoetropo (talk) 12:07, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Please keep the neutral era tag "BCE" and "CE". I would prefer it in this form. Lupus Bellator (talk) 18:44, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I have reverted your edit. Please see WP:ERA for why. Cynwolfe (talk) 18:52, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Aurelia Cotta
The mother of the dictator Gaius Julius Caesar was Aurelia Cotta of the family Aurelia Cotta. I suggest that she be placed under her specific family rather than under "Others". Zoetropo (talk) 12:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Done, but I'm not sure that Cotta can be treated as her cognomen, since it's presumably masculine and agrees with Aurelius. Most Roman women were called solely by their nomina, which makes it difficult to know what surnames they could have used (had they needed to).  For that matter, looking over the article on her, and that on her daughter, I note several mentions of "Julia Caesaris."  This is not a legitimate form of Roman naming.  That phrase simply means "Caesar's Julia."  Caesaris was not a surname and ought not to be used as though it were one in these articles.  Women's surnames (when used) were the feminine form of their fathers' surnames; if you see a genitive then it's just a descriptor, not a proper name.  Unfortunately I don't have time to root out all of these instances right now... perhaps someone with an interest in this family could look for these and clear that up.

Khwaja Kamalud Deen
Dear brother, I have just read the article on Khwaja sahib's life. I think Lahore Ahmadiyya are doing a disservice to their leaders by writing stubs for personalities like Khwaja Sahib and Maulana Muhammad Ali Sahib. Khwaja Sahib had an eventfull life and his efforts in the UK should be given some mention in this article. As an Ahmadi (AMC) I feel justice should be done to the life and works of the companions of Promised Messiah (as). Wassalam, SK

Rollback
You have been granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessen the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, because the rollback feature does not require fetching the data from the page history and then sending article data back to the Wikipedia server as the javascript requires, therefore you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the link which should look like [ rollback ] (which should appear unbolded if you have twinkle installed) on the lastest diff page. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the lastest edit. For more information, you may refer to this page, alternatively, you may also find this tutorial on rollback helpful.Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 03:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Ahmadi
Hi,

I think that the two Ahmadiyya groups should not be mentioned in the opening, they have been mentioned in the 3rd paragraph. Moreover Ahmadiyyat did not originally emerge as two seperate movements but the second branch broke of six years after the death of the founder. Anyhow, both are centered around Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, both accept him as the promised Messiah and Mahdi, I think the two branches should be kept under one banner as much as possible atleast in the introduction.

WikiProject Dentistry -- Update
Hey there! Over the past year or so, the WikiProject Dentistry has fallen into disrepair. Dozenist hasn't been around in nearly 2 years, and after some email communication, he's indicated that he's no longer interested in heading the project. In fact, the project has been labeled inactive since November 2010!

My plan is to focus less on internal bureaucratic policy and more on article creation, article clean-up and article maintenance. That's why people use Wikipedia to search for dental topics -- because it contains wonderfully explained, wonderfully formatted information on relevant topics, not because there are 5 dental articles featured as GA or 7 articles featured as such. So if that's what you like, don't let me stop you, but I think the focus should be on, as I said, article creation and article maintenance.

I welcome all comments, questions and suggestions. If you're new and you'd like help, I'll try to guide you. You can check out my latest few articles: Underwood's septa, platform switching, Bone remodeling period, Cone beam computed tomography, C-terminal telopeptide and furcation defect. You cannot imagine how many dental students I come across at Columbia who tell me they utilize Wikipedia on a weekly basis, but find that there are not enough articles on dental subjects. So let's get out there are create well written, well sourced articles on dental topics. Have a great day!  DRosenbach  ( Talk 12:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Orohippus

Orohippus (from the Greek ὄρος óros, 'mountain' and ἵππος híppos, 'horse' ) is an extinct equid that lived in the Eocene (about 50 million years ago).

It is believed to have evolved from equids such as Eohippus, as the earliest evidence for Orohippus appears about 2 million years after the first appearance of Eohippus. The anatomical differences between the two are slight: they were the same size, but Orohippus had a slimmer body, a more elongated head, slimmer forelimbs and longer hind legs, all of which are characteristics of a good jumper. Its teeth were brachydont in height, but the development of flattened surfaces and shearing lophs on their molars suggests they were more a browser than a frugivore. The outer toes of Eohippus are no longer present in Orohippus, hence on each forelimb there were four fingers (toes) and on each hind leg three toes.

Species of Orohippus has also been referred to Protorohippus.

Kevin Eldon

Kevin Eldon (born 2 October 1959) is an English actor and comedian. He featured in British comedy television shows of the 1990s including Fist of Fun, This Morning with Richard Not Judy, Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge, Big Train, Brass Eye and Jam. In 2013, Eldon appeared in his own BBC sketch series It's Kevin. He has also appeared in minor speaking roles in the HBO series Game of Thrones.

Personal life
Eldon was born in Chatham, Kent. He has been a practising Buddhist since 1990. He has two children with his wife Holly, whom he met in late 2005 on the set of Hyperdrive, where she was the art director.

Early career and 'Lee & Herring'
Eldon occupies half a page in Oliver Gray's book called Volume – A Cautionary Tale of Rock and Roll Obsession; this includes coverage of punk-era Hampshire where, in late 1978, with two schoolmates from Bay House School, Gosport, Eldon started a band named Virginia Doesn't. Virginia Doesn't's career peaked with a session broadcast on Radio One's John Peel Show on 18 October 1979. In early 1980, Virginia Doesn't morphed into The Time, in which Eldon was again the front man. The Time recorded and performed from April 1980 until August 1982, during which time the band gigged extensively and played support slots with The Jam, Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive and Bad Manners. The Time had songs included on several self-released tape compilations, although they never secured a recording contract. In August 1982, The Time became Gerry Hackett & The Fringes, a spoof Sixties revival band. On 6 November 1983 Gerry Hackett & The Fringes appeared on BBC South's 'The Cellar Show' presented by John Sessions. Eldon started on the stand-up circuit in the early 1990s performing an act in-character as the political poet Paul Hamilton, but has also, on occasion, done stand-up as himself.

On the circuit, Eldon formed a friendship with stand-up comedian Stewart Lee, which would later lead to an invitation to work with him on the radio series Lee & Herring's Fist of Fun with Lee's comedy partner Richard Herring. Lee and Herring would usually refer to him as "the actor Kevin Eldon", in reference to his claim to being an actor rather than a comedian. Eldon's work sat well with that of Lee and Herring, and he continued to work with them on many of their projects, including The Lee & Herring Radio Show, Fist of Fun and This Morning with Richard Not Judy. He played recurring characters Simon Quinlank (the self-styled "King of Hobbies") and 'Rod Hull', a nonsensical version of Rod Hull with a prosthetic limb and an obsession with jelly, especially the 'green' variety. In 1994 and 1997, he appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as part the comedy troupe Cluub Zarathustra; other comedians in the troupe including Roger Mann, Johnny Vegas, Simon Munnery, and later Stewart Lee.
