The Sons of the Pioneers are one of the United States' earliest Western singing groups. Known for their vocal performances, their musicianship, and their songwriting, they produced innovative recordings that have inspired many Western music performers and remained popular through the years. Since 1933, through many changes in membership, the Sons of the Pioneers have remained one of the longest-surviving country music vocal groups. In the spring of 1931, Ohio-born Leonard Slye, the cowboy singer who would later change his name to Roy Rogers arrived in California and found work as a truck driver, and later as a fruit picker for the Del Monte company in California's Central Valley. He entered an amateur singing contest on a Los Angeles radio show called Midnight Frolics and a few days later got an invitation to join a group called the Rocky Mountaineers.
In September 1931, Canadian-born Bob Nolan answered a classified ad in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner that read, Yodeler for old-time act, to travel. Tenor preferred. The band was The Rocky Mountaineers, by then led by Leonard Slye. After listening to the tall, slender, tanned Nolan sing and yodel, Slye hired Nolan on the spot. Although Nolan stayed with the group only a short time, he stayed in touch with Slye. Nolan was replaced by Tim Spencer, who had been working in a Safeway Stores warehouse. In the spring of 1932, Slye, Spencer, and another singer, Slumber Nichols, left the Rocky Mountaineers to form a trio, which soon failed. Throughout most of 1932, Slye and Spencer moved through a series of short-lived groups like the International Cowboys and the O-Bar-O Cowboys. Spencer left the O-Bar-O Cowboys and quit music for a while. Slye joined Jack LeFevre and His Texas Outlaws, who were a popular act on a local Los Angeles radio station. In early 1933, Slye, Nolan, and Spencer formed a group called the Pioneer Trio. The three young singers rehearsed for weeks honing their singing. While Slye continued to work with his radio singing group, Spencer and Nolan began writing songs for the group.

The Sons of the Pioneers are one of the United States' earliest Western singing groups. Known for their vocal performances, their musicianship, and their songwriting, they produced innovative recordings that have inspired many Western music performers and remained popular through the years. Since 1933, through many changes in membership, the Sons of the Pioneers have remained one of the longest-surviving country music vocal groups.
In the spring of 1931, Ohio-born Leonard Slye—the cowboy singer who would later change his name to Roy Rogers—arrived in California and found work as a truck driver, and later as a fruit picker for the Del Monte company in California's Central Valley. He entered an amateur singing contest on a Los Angeles radio show called Midnight Frolics and a few days later got an invitation to join a group called the Rocky Mountaineers.
In September 1931, Canadian-born Bob Nolan answered a classified ad in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner that read, Yodeler for old-time act, to travel. Tenor preferred. The band was The Rocky Mountaineers, by then led by Leonard Slye. After listening to the tall, slender, tanned Nolan sing and yodel, Slye hired Nolan on the spot. Although Nolan stayed with the group only a short time, he stayed in touch with Slye. Nolan was replaced by Tim Spencer, who had been working in a Safeway Stores warehouse.
In the spring of 1932, Slye, Spencer, and another singer, Slumber Nichols, left the Rocky Mountaineers to form a trio, which soon failed. Throughout most of 1932, Slye and Spencer moved through a series of short-lived groups like the International Cowboys and the O-Bar-O Cowboys. Spencer left the O-Bar-O Cowboys and quit music for a while. Slye joined Jack LeFevre and His Texas Outlaws, who were a popular act on a local Los Angeles radio station.
In early 1933, Slye, Nolan, and Spencer formed a group called the Pioneer Trio. The three young singers rehearsed for weeks honing their singing. While Slye continued to work with his radio singing group, Spencer and Nolan began writing songs for the group.
By early 1934, the group consisted of Leonard Slye, Bob Nolan, and Tim Spencer on vocals, with Nolan playing string bass and Slye playing rhythm guitar. During that time, fiddle player Hugh Farr joined the group, adding a bass voice to the group's vocal arrangements. He also sang lead on some songs. Later that year, the Pioneers Trio became the Sons of the Pioneers through a radio station announcer's chance remark. Asked why he'd changed their name, the announcer said they were too young to have been pioneers, but that they could be sons of pioneers. The name was received well and fit the group, who were no longer a trio.
By the summer of 1934, the Sons of the Pioneers' popularity and fame extended beyond the Los Angeles area and quickly spread across the United States through short syndicated radio segments that were rebroadcast all over the country. They signed a recording contract with the newly founded Decca label, and on August 8, 1934, the Sons of the Pioneers made their first commercial recording. That same day, the immensely popular crooner Bing Crosby also made his first Decca session.
One of the first songs recorded by the Sons of the Pioneers during that first August session was written by Bob Nolan, Tumbling Tumbleweeds, that would soon become a staple in their repertoire. The original title Tumbling Leaves was changed to give the song a western character. Over the next two years the group would record 32 songs for Decca. Their output includes a 1937 recording of The Blue Juniata, by Marion Dix Sullivan,.

College of the Ozarks Tour of Pensmore 09 18 2014
SEE ALL:
College of the Ozarks is a private, Christian liberal-arts college, with its campus at Point Lookout near Branson and Hollister, Missouri, United States. It is 40 miles south of Springfield on a 1,000-acre campus, overlooking Lake Taneycomo.

More On Pensmore:
The building, called Pensmore, promises to be one of the largest residential homes in the country when construction is completed — 72,000 square feet of living space that includes 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms and enough amenities to entertain a small city.
But instead of appearing in New York or Florida, where lavish living requires no explanation, the mansion was built in a thickly wooded plot of land in Christian County, halfway between Springfield and Branson. The nearest major landmark is a cathedral that bills itself as the smallest in world.
“It’s really strange, and we’re thinking something’s up,” said Michele Grider, who lives just down the road. “If there was a nuclear thing they could hide a bunch of important people there.”
The owner, Steven T. Huff, 60, has heard all the “goofy speculation,” as he calls it. His background — he sold the company he founded that makes software for military and intelligence agencies to Textron several years ago — has encouraged the rumors. But he said that his current work prompted him to build such a large second home.
As a major investor and board chairman of TF Concrete Forming Systems, he wanted to demonstrate the viability of new concrete technology that he believes will lower energy consumption. The size of the building, which is significantly larger than the White House, partly reflects a desire to build at a commercial scale for testing purposes, he said. He adds that he plans to have many guests.
The house — officially a single-family residence — has been under construction for nearly two years, and a recently posted Web site shows its progress. There are probably another two years to go before it is completed, which has irritated some neighbors who say the work has disrupted the serenity of the area and has cut off what used to be prime hunting grounds. Mr. Huff would not reveal the cost. (Though the purchase price of the land is not public, Christian County records show the more than 500 acres, historically used for logging and grazing cattle, was appraised at just over $50,000.)
Mr. Huff, a longtime resident of Virginia, chose the site on Woods Fork Road because it is just hours from his boyhood home. Also, he said building in that part of the country would help him show how the technology handles both hot and cold weather and even tornadoes. Finally, there is another advantage — by locating in an area famous for a small government approach, he is not subject to building regulations or inspection, which he said would have complicated his efforts.
“We try not to be more intrusive than we have to,” said Todd Wiesehan, planning and zoning administrator for the county. He added that Mr. Huff had nevertheless invited some local officials to tour the construction site. “You don’t appreciate just how large it is until you drive up,” Mr. Wiesehan said. “It’s very, very big.”

GOT LEAVIN ON HER MIND BY ROY STERNHAGEN.wmv
Author: Jack H. Clement: Performed by: Bobby Bare, Charlie Pride, Statler Brothers, Dickey Lee, Johnny Russell.
Charley Pride was born on March 18, 1938, in Sledge, Miss. He grew up as one of 11 children to poor sharecroppers. He unofficially started his music career as a baseball player in the Negro American League with the Memphis Red Sox, singing and playing guitar on the team bus between ballparks. Self-taught on a guitar bought at age 14 from Sears Roebuck, Pride would also join various bands on stage as the team crossed the country.
During a trip to Nashville, Pride was introduced to producer Jack Clement, who arranged a two-hour recording session for him. The result was a two-song demo that landed him a recording contract with RCA Records after producer Chet Atkins liked what he heard. In 1966, Pride's first single, The Snakes Crawl at Night, hit the airwaves. His race was kept hidden from the fans through the release of his first three singles. Making one of his first big public appearances at a show in Detroit, Pride stepped on stage and was greeted with loud applause, which got lower and lower in volume until near silence as most of the audience began to make the realization that he was a black country singer. But Pride's music prevailed and, after the show, he was besieged with autograph seekers.
Pride has topped the Billboard country singles chart 29 times, with hits like Kiss an Angel Good Mornin' and Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone. He was named the CMA's entertainer of the year and male vocalist in 1971, and in 1972, he became the first artist to win back-to-back male vocalist trophies. His RCA singles routinely reached the Top 10 through 1984.
By the mid-1980s, Pride's prowess in business was beginning to equal that of his recording career. During this period, he split his time between his music and his business activities in banking, broadcasting and real estate. He is the major stockholder in the largest minority owned bank in Texas, the First Texas Bank. He has owned four diverse radio stations and extensive real estate holdings across the country, including the Charley Pride Theater in Branson, Mo. Pride stays actively involved in the music industry through his publishing company, The Pride Group, and his production company.
In 1993, Pride was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, 26 years after he first played as a guest. He was awarded the prestigious Academy of Country Music's Pioneer Award in 1994 and elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000.
Jack Henderson Clement (born April 5, 1931 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American singer, songwriter, and a record and film producer.
Raised and educated in Memphis, Jack Clement was performing at an early age. In 1953, he made his first record for the Sheraton label in Boston, Massachusetts but did not immediately pursue a full time career in music, instead choosing to study at Memphis State University from 1953 to 1955. Nicknamed 'Cowboy' Jack Clement, during his student days he played steel guitar with a local band, and in 1956 became part of one of the seminal events in rock and roll history when he went to work as a producer and engineer for Sam Phillips at Sun Records. There, Clement worked with future stars such as Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. But most importantly, he discovered and recorded Jerry Lee Lewis while Sam Phillips was away on a trip to Florida (one of those recordings, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, was selected in 2005 for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress). In 1957, Clement wrote the song Ballad of a Teenage Queen that became a crossover hit for Johnny Cash. Another Cash hit written by Clement was Guess Things Happen That Way, which was # 1 country and # 11 pop in 1958. Clement performed the song on the Johnny Cash Memorial Tribute show on CMT in November 2003.

In later years the Fearmonger's face would occasionally float around the TV screen for added effect. It was terribly low-rent by today's standards but still engaging in its own way, especially for kids.

10 Hidden Places the World Doesn't Know About
Best Hidden Destination Within The United States: North Dakota
My newest 'find' is North Dakota, which I discovered last fall. Wide open spaces, very few people, and lots of things to do, too, [like] Wild West towns and old Norwegian pioneer settlements, [Theodore] Roosevelt National Park and the northern Badlands, [and] The Lewis and Clark Trail of forts and museums along the Missouri River. [Plus, there's a] surprisingly sophisticated food and bar scene in Bismarck.
Best Hidden Destination for History Lovers: Leptis Magna
One thing that didn't come out during last year's blanket press coverage of the Libya revolution was the fact that the North African nation has the absolute best Roman ruins anywhere, outside of Rome itself. The place is called Leptis Magna, [and it's] on the coast 75 miles east of Tripoli. [You'll find] stunning architecture that hardly anyone has visited in modern times.
Best Hidden Destination for Snorkeling: Tuamotu Islands
The Tuamotu Islands of French Polynesia, about an hour's flight north of Papeete, are unspoiled, uncrowded, and unpolluted. You can snorkel with tropical fish or big things (sharks and manta rays) in the coral atolls with lagoons in the middle or 'drift snorkel' through the lagoon passages on the turn of the tides.
Best Hidden Destination for Family Travel: Galapagos Islands
Not hidden per se, but it's not the most obvious family vacation and it's the one spot on the entire planet I would take my kids back [to] again and again. Children love it, especially if you tour the islands by boat. In addition to getting up close and personal with millions of animals who show no fear of humans, kids can also dive into lots of different watersports like snorkeling, sea kayaking, Zodiac [boats], etc.
Best Hidden Destination for Mountain Lovers: The Pyrenees
The Pyrenees in southern France and northern Spain [are] everything people crave about the Alps with a fraction of the people. [They have so much to offer, including] incredible high-country national parks in Gavarnie, Ordesa, and Aiguestortes; hearty regional cuisine; the running of the bulls in Pamplona—and even duty-free shopping in tiny Andorra.
Best Hidden Destination for Romance: Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's southern coast, [especially on] either side of the old city of Galle, has everything you need for a romantic getaway—including chic boutique hotels, uncrowded beaches, wildlife sanctuaries (wild elephants and leopards), ancient temples, and great food.
Best Hidden Destination for Beaches: Mauritius
It's a long haul from North America or Europe, but Mauritius is well worth the 24-hour trip for the palm-fringed beaches alone. Great hotels, marvelous mixed-bag cuisine (Indian, Chinese, African, French) that reflects the island's diverse cultural heritage, adventurous volcanic mountains, quirky history, and very nice people who enjoy having visitors come to their tiny speck of land in the middle of nowhere.
Best Hidden Destination For Culinary Travel: Tokyo
A lot of people wouldn't touch 'street food' in Asia, but in super-clean Japan you have nothing to worry about. Especially good are the early-morning eateries of Tsukiji Fish Market, where you can breakfast on fresh-off-the-boat sashimi and premium sake, and the 'Yakitori Alley' beneath the old brick railroad arches near the Ginza district.
Best Hidden Destination for Adventure Travel: Wrangell-Kluane Wilderness, Alaska and the Yukon
This is the world's largest single protected area (50 million square miles), and [it] boasts the biggest concentration of super-high mountains and glaciers in North America. In addition to copious wildlife (bear, moose, caribou, mountain goats, whales, and timber wolves), the vast park offers all sorts of adventure possibilities—backcountry hiking, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting [on] huge inland rivers, or kayaking saltwater fjords. And best of all: adrenaline-pumping bush plane flights.
Best Hidden Destination for Wildlife: Pantanal Wetlands
Everyone thinks the Amazon is the place to go in South America for wildlife, but the vegetation is too thick and the habitat destruction [is] too widespread now. With vast grasslands, animals are much easier to see (and photograph) in the Pantanal wetlands of southern Brazil. It's the best place on the planet to see jaguars in the wild.

Arrow Rock, Missouri
My visit to the historic town of Arrow Rock Missouri. Hope you enjoy!
The Arrow Rock historic sign (shown at 1:03 in the video) reads as follows below:
Arrow Rock
At the Arrow Rock State Park entrance stands this pioneer town as a memorial to the Boon's Lick Country and the expanding frontier. In the 24-acre park are Arrow Rock Tavern, built by Joseph Huston, ca. 1834, for travelers on the Sante Fe Trail, restored and operated as a museum and inn by the state society of D.A.R and the state of Missouri; Arrow Rock Academy museum, a former girls' school, chartered 1843: a one-man jail; the state-restored George C. Bingham House; and other sites.
Southwest of town are Sappington and Arrow Rock cemeteries; Sappington and Marmaduke houses; Nathaniel B. Tucker home, Ardmore; site of Thomas A. Smith's prarie farm, experiment. Some 12 miles southeast is grave of fur trader William H. Ashley, Missouri's first lieutenant governor. Across the river is Boon's Lick, where Daniel Boone's sons boiled salt probably as early as 1807.
Near town lived Doctor John Sappington, noted for his Anti-Fever (quinine) Pills, author first medical book west of Mississippi, founder of Sappington School Fund; and Governors M.M. and John S. Marmaduke and C.F. Jackson.

Dr Lobe review on Proton Patch and Negative Ions
This is the full video with Dr. Thom Lobes expertise on the affects of positive and negative ions.
Thom E. Lobe, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.A.P., is the founder and medical director of Beneveda Medical Group in Beverly Hills, California. A native of Baltimore, he obtained a bachelor's degree in 1971 from George Washington University before attending medical school at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He earned his medical degree in 1975, graduating cum laude and with special honors in pediatrics. During medical school, Dr. Lobe took time out to train with the former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, M.D. and with leading physicians at Harvard and Johns Hopkins Medical Schools. He then moved to Columbus, Ohio where he trained at The Ohio State University Hospital in general surgery and at The Children's Hospital in pediatric surgery.
After his training, Lobe moved to Galveston, Texas where he became the Chief of the Pediatric Surgery Service at the University of Texas Medical Branch. During his eight years there he made national news as being among the first to successfully separate a particularly difficult variety of conjoined twins and perform a complex reconstruction of the airway. He was recruited away from Galveston to start the first pediatric surgery training program in the south at the University of Tennessee in Memphis and LeBonheur Children's Medical Center. While there, Lobe distinguished himself as the director of that training program by leading the world in the development of laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery in children. He wrote the first textbook on the subject and pioneered many novel techniques. He also pioneered the first medical journal dedicated to advanced surgical techniques in children, for which he is still the editor.
Throughout his career, Lobe has always maintained a strong interest in complementary and alternative approaches to complex problems, so much so in fact that while in medical school, he convinced the dean of to create an instructional program devoted to that end. He remained in charge of that program for over a decade, before he was recruited to Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa to pioneer advances in minimally invasive surgery. With his associates there, he became the first to develop an advanced technique to perform major head and neck surgery through a set of small incisions in the armpit. These procedures leave the patient with no visible or unsightly scars and virtually no pain or discomfort.
In his pursuit of excellence in his alternative medicine practice and teaching, Lobe has traveled and met with many of the world's leaders in the field, including Dr. Andrew Weil. Lobe also shared a position as an advisor to the Institute for the Study of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong with the eminent Brian Berman, M.D., founder of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Lobe also succeeded in obtaining an additional degree for his training in naturopathic medicine and has his boards in both medical hypnosis and medical acupuncture. He has written more than 200 books, book chapters and peer-reviewed articles. Lobe is currently working on his latest book, The Wellspring Within: Living Life in Harmony and Balance and continued to lecture worldwide on nearly every continent. He has also found time to study law and complete a Physician's Executive Masters in Business Administration degree program at the University Of Tennessee School Of Business in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was there that he focused on the development of his ideas for a new kind of medical practice, combining the best of conventional, complementary and alternative medicine.
Dr. Lobe's gift lies in his uncanny ability to quickly understand how to listen to what your body is telling you it needs to heal in order to design a treatment program specifically for your needs. His passion is learning what works best in his practice of alternative medicine so that he can teach people of all ages how to live healthier lives.
After many years of brining his medical and holistic skills to clients with compulsive disorders, it seemed only natural to segue into addiction medicine.
