This book, in nine chapters, covers a young boy's life as a Wichita resident in the Delano District. This book is a collection of stories about a boy, Danny, who lived in this west side neighborhood in the 1950s. The earlier history of Delano is touched upon, supported by period photographs and factual research. And the flavor of the 1950s, when so much began that is pertinent today?credit cards, consumer wealth, disaffected segments of society, and modern informal living?is captured in the adventures of one boy.This is a book that will allow the past to live again for those who were there. It is a book that will describe the times in current terms for those who want to trace the track of progress. And it is a book for those who like a good story, aided by contemporary photographs depicting the grace and feel of modest Kansas streets.There are pleasant lessons, humorous events that can only happen to the young in the safe streets of a Midwestern city. A current of misfortune also can be seen, linked to the postwar boom, the delayed expectations of those who fought overseas, and the lives they sought to have upon their return. DELANO can be thought of as a souvenir of decade, and a reminder of the current needs of community in the twenty-first century. A clean very presentable copy.

Paperback. Condition: New. In conversations on regional blues, the traditions of the Mississippi Delta, the Carolina Piedmont, Chicago, Houston, Memphis, New Orleans, and Los Angeles are frequently lauded. But until now, little attention has been paid to the Midwest, despite the presence and popularity of blues in these heartland communities. Wichita Blues: Music in the African American Community seeks to address this gap in music history by exploring the lively Wichita blues tradition. In interviews with nineteen African American Wichita blues performers, author Patrick Joseph O'Connor reveals the evolution of the blues from the 1930s to the 1960s and beyond.Utilizing twenty-five years of fieldwork, Wichita Blues details the history of performance and camaraderie among the musicians of this often-neglected regional sound. The personal interviews offer unique insight into topics that shape Wichita's sound, including how migration from Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas brought varied artists to the area and the ways musical traditions cross racial divides and generations. The artists articulate the poetics of the blues and the diverse regional influences that can be detected in their music. In exploring the Wichita blues tradition, O'Connor traces African American history in Kansas, ranging from the Exoduster movement in the late nineteenth century and minstrel shows across the state to Black cowboys and growing urban African American communities in Topeka and Wichita.Including a foreword by renowned music scholar David Evans, Wichita Blues allows seasoned blues musicians to tell their own stories and paints a picture of the vibrant Black music scene in the city.
