Pierre Henri Marie Schaeffer (English pronunciation: i/piːˈɛər ˈhɛnriː məˈriː ˈʃeɪfər/, French pronunciation: ​[ʃɛfɛʁ]; 14 August 1910 – 19 August 1995)[1] was a French composer, writer, broadcaster, engineer, musicologist and acoustician.

Pierre Schaeffer

His innovative work in both the sciences—particularly communications and acoustics—and the various arts of music, literature and radio presentation after the end of World War II, as well as his anti-nuclear activism and cultural criticism garnered him widespread recognition in his lifetime. Life[edit] Early life and education[edit] Schaeffer was born in Nancy in 1910.[3] His parents were both musicians (his father a violinist; his mother, a singer),[5] and at first it seemed that Pierre would also take on music as a career.

Moondog. Moondog, born Louis Thomas Hardin (May 26, 1916 – September 8, 1999), was a blind American composer, musician, poet and inventor of several musical instruments.

Moondog

Moving to New York as a young man, Moondog made a deliberate decision to make his home on the streets there, where he spent approximately twenty of the thirty years he lived in the city. Most days he could be found in his chosen part of town wearing clothes he had created based on his own interpretation of the Norse god Odin. [citation needed] Thanks to his unconventional outfits and lifestyle, he was known for much of his life as "The Viking of 6th Avenue".[1] Early life[edit] Hardin played drums for the high school band in Hurley, Missouri before losing his sight in a farm accident involving a dynamite cap at the age of 16.[2] After learning the principles of music in several schools for blind young men across middle America, he taught himself the skills of ear training and composition.

Cannon's Jug Stompers

Gus Cannon was born September 12, 1883 on Henderson Newell's plantation in Marshall County Mississippi. His parents, John and Ellen, were share croppers; his father had been a slave. Gus was the youngest of 10 brothers. When Gus was 12 he went to Clarksdale with his brother Tom to work in the cotton fields. Around this time Gus took an interest in music and made a banjo from a guitar neck and a bread pan.

At this time there were several banjo/fiddle groups in Clarksdale, including W. In 1910 Gus was married to Louis Brown's daughter. The origins of jug bands can be traced to Louisville, Kentucky around the turn of the century. Back in Memphis, Will Shade (born 2/5/89 in Memphis) had started the Memphis Jug Band. In 1928 Ralph Peer from Victor, who had previously recorded the Memphis Jug Band, returned to Memphis looking for other jug bands to record.
