Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville is the capital of the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is located on the Cumberland River in Davidson County in the central part of the state. Nicknamed "Music City", Nashville is the home of the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and many major record labels. Since much earlier times it has been called the "Athens of the South", for its educational institutions and classical architecture. Nashville is also a major hub for the health care and publishing industries. The city of Nashville has a population of 569,891 (as of the 2000 census), making it the second largest city in Tennessee (below Memphis). The population of the entire 13-county Nashville metropolitan area is 1,311,789, making it the most populous metropolitan area in the state. A resident of Nashville is called a Nashvillian.

History

Early history

Nashville was founded as "Fort Nashborough" by James Robertson and John Donelson. Robertson made the trip overland with a small party and arrived on Christmas Day, 1779, selecting a site on the bluffs of the Cumberland River known as French Lick. Donelson, along with a group of several families, came in 30 flatboats and several pirogues down the Tennessee River and up the Cumberland, arriving April 23, 1780.¹ The fort was named in honor of Francis Nash, a Revolutionary War soldier. It was renamed Nashville in 1784 when it became incorporated as a town by the North Carolina legislature. In 1806, Nashville was chartered as a city, and it became the capital of Tennessee in 1843. During the American Civil War, the Confederate army suffered a devastating defeat at the Battle of Nashville. This decisive battle effectively ended large-scale fighting in the Western Theater of the war. Battle of Nashville] After the Civil War, Nashville quickly grew into an important trade center. Its population rose from only 16,988 in 1860 to 80,865 by 1900.² In 1897, Nashville hosted the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition, a World's Fair celebrating the 100th anniversary of Tennessee's entry into the union. An exact replica of the Parthenon was built for the event. The Parthenon replica is now the centerpiece of Centennial Park. The Great train wreck of 1918 occurred on July 9, 1918 in Nashville when an inbound local train collided with an outbound express, killing 101 people. This was the most deadly rail accident in U.S. history. Tennessee was the state that put the 19th Amendment, allowing women to vote, over the top, and the ratification struggle convulsed the city in August, 1920. On March 1, 1941 W47NV (now known as WSM-FM) began operations in Nashville becoming the first FM radio station in the U.S.

Recent history (post-WWII)

Nashville played a prominent role in the U.S. civil rights movement. On February 13, 1960, hundreds of college students launched a sit-in campaign to desegregate lunch counters throughout the city. Although initially met with violence and arrests, the protesters were eventually successful in pressuring local businesses to end the practice of racial segregation. Many of the activists involved in the Nashville sit-ins went on to organize the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which emerged as one of the most influential organizations of the civil rights movement. Nashville has had a metropolitan government of a consolidated city-county since 1963, and was the first large U.S. city to adopt this structure. The Nashville Tornado of 1998 struck the downtown area on April 16 at around 3:30 pm, causing serious damage and blowing out hundreds of windows from skyscrapers, raining shattered glass on the streets and closing the business district for nearly four days. Over 300 homes were damaged, and three cranes at the then-incomplete Nashville Coliseum were toppled. It was one of the most serious urban tornados on record in the U.S. As the 21st century opened, a Nashville native rose to national political prominence when Dr. Bill Frist, formerly a transplant surgeon at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, became majority leader of the U.S. Senate.

Floyd Cramer

Floyd Cramer (October 27, 1933 – December 31, 1997) was an American Hall of Fame pianist who was one of the architects of the "Nashville Sound." Nashville Sound Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Cramer grew up in the small town of Huttig, Arkansas, teaching himself to play the piano. After finishing high school he returned to Shreveport where he worked as a pianist for the Louisiana Hayride radio show. In 1952, he made his way to Nashville, Tennessee at a time when the use of piano accompanists in country music was growing in popularity. Before long Cramer would become one of the busiest studio musicians in the industry, playing piano for stars such as Elvis Presley, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, The Browns, Jim Reeves, Roy Orbison, Don Gibson and the Everly Brothers amongst many others. However, Cramer remained a virtual unknown to anyone but music industry insiders until he recorded a 45rpm Single in 1960 called "Last Date." An instrumental, the music exhibited a relatively new concept for piano playing known as the "slip note" style. The record went to No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop music chart. By the mid-1960s, Cramer had become a respected performer, making numerous albums and touring with guitar maestro Chet Atkins and saxophonist Boots Randolph. Floyd Cramer passed away in 1997 and was interred in the Spring Hill Cemetery in the Nashville suburb of Madison, Tennessee. In 2003, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee offers the "Floyd Cramer Competitive Scholarship."

John Hartford

John Cowan Hartford (December 30 1937– June 4 2001) was an American bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics and unique vocal style. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song. He also invented his own shuffle tap dance move, and danced on a amplified piece of plywood while he played and sang. John Harford (he would change his name to Hartford later in life at the behest of Chet Atkins) was born on December 30, 1937 in New York City. He spent his childhood in St. Louis, MO where he fell in love with two things, music and the Mississippi River. He recorded more than 30 albums, and was a featured guest on many others, including the Byrds Sweetheart of the Rodeo. He won a Grammy award in 1968 for his song "Gentle on My Mind", after Glen Campbell's cover version became a hit. The notoriety and income that his hit provided allowed Hartford to forge his own path in music, allowing him to break free of the need to record hit after hit to support his career. He won another Grammy in 1976 for his album Mark Twang for Best Ethnic or Traditional Folk Recording. More recently, Hartford performed on the soundtrack for the film, O Brother Where Art Thou? and hosted the live performance of the film's soundtrack at the famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, as seen on the documentary "Down from the Mountain." His voice can be heard in Ken Burns' documentaries Baseball and The Civil War. Hartford was known to draw with both his left & right hands...at the same time. He earned his steamboat pilot license and was an expert at the history of our rivers and boats. John Hartford served as a pilot on the sternwheel steamboat Julia Belle Swain for many years, and the Julia Belle still runs excursions out of La Crosse, Wisconsin in the summer. Hartford grew up in St. Louis listening to stories and songs of the old steamboating days. His musical impulse came from seeing Flatt and Scruggs, the trendsetting bluegrass band made up of former Bluegrass Boys Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, and from the old-time dances that were still being held in the area during his youth in the 1950s. Hartford said often that the first time he heard Earl Scruggs pick the banjo changed his life. He later moved to the West Coast, where he became a regular on the Smothers Brothers television show, and on to Nashville, where he put together a band featuring Vassar Clements and Norman Blake that became the cutting edge of a "new traditionalist" movement on the country scene. The album, "Aereo-Plain" and its follow up "Morning Bugle", uniquely blending traditional and contemporary styles, and became what many believe to be his masterpieces. His Grammy-winning "Mark Twang" features Hartford in a solo setting, reminiscent of his live solo performances playing the fiddle, guitar, banjo, and amplified plywood for tapping his feet. During his later years, he came back to the river every summer. "Working as a pilot is a labor of love," he said. "After a while, it becomes a metaphor for a whole lot of things, and I find for some mysterious reason that if I stay in touch with it, things seem to work out all right." Along with his own compositions, Hartford was a voluminous repository of old river songs, calls, and stories. He could spend hours talking about the glory days of steamboating, or demonstrate the lead calls that the river's most famous chronicler took as his name, "Mark Twain" (or "two fathoms"). A virtuoso fiddler and banjo player, Hartford was simultaneously an innovative voice on the country scene and a thrilling reminder of a vanished era. Hartford was also the author of "Steamboat in a Cornfield," a children's book that recounts the true story of the Ohio River Steamboat The Virginia and its somewhat comical beaching in a cornfield. At the time of his death, Hartford was also working on the biography of the blind fiddler Ed Haley. Hartford's album "Wild Hog in the Red Bush" is a collection of Haley's tunes. He was a graduate of John Burroughs School in St. Louis, Missouri, and an honoree of that city's Walk of Fame. Hartford died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in Nashville, Tennessee.

Hank Snow

Clarence Eugene Snow (May 9, 1914 – December 20, 1999), better known as Hank Snow, was a Hall of Fame country music singer and songwriter. songwriter Snow was born in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, Canada. When he was 14, he ordered his first guitar from Eaton's catalog for $5.95, and played his first show in a church basement in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia at the age of 16. He then traveled to the nearest big city, Halifax, where he sang in local clubs and bars. A successful appearance on a local radio station led to him being given a chance to audition for RCA Records in Montreal, Quebec. In 1936, he signed with RCA Records, staying with them for more than forty-five years. A weekly Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) radio show brought him national recognition and he began touring Canada until the late 1940s when American country music stations began playing his records. He headed to the "Country Music Capital of the World", Nashville, Tennessee, and Hank Snow, the "Singing Ranger" would be invited to play at the Grand Ole Opry in 1950. That same year he released his mega-hit, "I'm Movin' On." The first of seven Number 1 hits on the country charts, "I'm Movin' On" stayed at Number 1 for nearly half a year. A regular at the Grand Ole Opry, in 1954 Hank Snow persuaded the directors to allow a new singer by the name of Elvis Presley to appear on stage. He used Elvis as his opening act, before introducing him to Colonel Tom Parker. In August of 1955, Snow and Parker formed the management team, "Hank Snow Attractions." This partnership signed a management contract with Presley but before long, Snow was out and Parker had full control over the rock singer's career. In 1958, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. Performing in lavish and colorful sequin-studded suits, his career covered six decades during which he sold more than 80 million albums. Although he became a proud American citizen, he still maintained his friendships in Canada and remembered his roots with the 1968 Album, "My Nova Scotia Home." In Robert Altman's 1975 film Nashville, Henry Gibson played a self-obsessed country star loosely based on Hank Snow. Despite his lack of schooling, he was a gifted songwriter and in 1978 was elected to Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. In Canada, ten times he was voted that country's top country music performer. In 1979, Hank Snow was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Nova Scotia Music Hall of Fame. In 1994 his autobiography, "Just a Hank Snow Story," was published, and later The Hank Snow Country Music Centre in Liverpool, Nova Scotia would open. The victim of an abusive childhood, he set up the "Hank Snow International Foundation For Prevention Of Child Abuse". Snow died in Madison, Tennessee in the United States and was interred in the Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville. Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, Ashley MacIsaac, Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris, amongst others, have covered his music.

Geschichte

Die Gründung der Burg Marquartstein fällt in das Jahr 1075. Marquartstein war vor 1803 Sitz eines bayrischen Pflegamts. 1803 erfolgte die Aufhebung des Pfleggerichts Marquartstein und die Eingliederung in das Landgericht Traunstein. 1884 erfolgte der Bau der Lokalbahn Übersee-Marquartstein, die aufgrund der Zementfabrik des Georg Pfann und dessem schnellbindendem Zementprodukt "Egerndach Roman" eine der rentabelsten Bayerns war. Das stark verfallene alte wittelsbachische Pflegeschloß Marquartstein wurde ab 1857 an privat verkauft und durch Cajetan Freiherr von Tautphoeus wiedererrichtet. Ab dem 1. April 1938 wurde Marquartstein eine selbständige politische Gemeinde. 1962 wurden die drei Ortschaften Niedernfels, Pettendorf und Piesenhausen von der Gemeinde Grassau in die Gemeinde Marquartstein umgemeindet. Seit 1978 bilden die Gemeinden Staudach-Egerndach und Marquartstein eine Verwaltungsgemeinschaft mit Sitz in Marquartstein.
