194128133Camp Tyson Tennessee; Camp David N. C.: various 1941. First Edition. Boards. Good. First Edition. 89 leaves 11-blank 1-63 pp plate 4 1-16 pp 6 pp 26 pp. Blue cloth spine over blue card covers soiling. Mimeographed typescripts. Dampstaining to upper corner throughout. Card covers creased. Previous owner stamp "Property of Nicholas A. Parisi" on front flyleaf. Irregular printing quality. Paper browned throughout. Illustrated. Boards. This sammelband contains five items with no proper title page or index. It is a fascinating variety of material that was used for training in the Barrage Balloon School Camp Tyson Tennessee for WWII. <br/><br/>The first item contains 87 leaves plus two indices detailing ground and air based targets likely to be seen by Balloon operators. This item is maddeningly bound out of order with the indices thrown in haphazardly. Part I contains 30 leaves of ground based targets with everything from a British Infantry Tank MK III "Valentine" to the Panzerfampfwagon III a German medium tank to scout cars howitzer and armored cars. Part II contains 57 leaves identifying various aircraft. The index for this part notes this is part of a "Target Recognition Instructors Course" and lists sixty aircraft. We have not taken the time to sort out if the indices are representative of the contents but spot checks conclude a likely correlation. Each leaf contains one or two pages of commentary on the target how to identify it it's characteristics and sometimes conversational assessments of its usefulness.<br/><br/>Item two in this sammelband is titled "Rigging and Fabric Repair Revised Edition" prepared by Clarence Vladimir Capt. C. A. C. Senior Instructor. Apparently created by the Division of Enlisted Specialists Barrage Balloon School Camp David N. C. 2 63 pages plus one plate it is densely written with illustrations throughout. Much on knot construction.<br/><br/>Item three is "Rigging and Fabric Repair Barrage Ballooon Training Center 1941" 2 16 pages plus one plate and six figures plus definitions. A presumably earlier version of Item two above with less space given over to illustrations.<br/><br/>Item four is "Synopsis of Charts Logs Maps Reports" 6 pages dated on page six 9-19-41 with some hand annotations/additions. Penciled is "D. E. Aldrich 1st Lt" on first page.<br/><br/>Item five is an extensive 24 page Gossary of Barrage Balloon Terms.<br/><br/>We were unable to find any of these items listed in OCLC/Worldcat as of this writing.

Original LP of Workingman's Dead boldly signed by Bob Weir Phil Lesh Mickey Hart Robert Hunter and Tom Constanten who has written out the lyrics to the classic song Uncle John's Band which reads "I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb; I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune."

The album and its studio follow-up American Beauty were recorded back-to-back using a similar style eschewing the psychedelic experimentation of previous albums in favor of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter's Americana-styled songcraft. In 2003 the album was listed on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It features one of their most well-known songs Uncle John's Band. Written by guitarist Jerry Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter "Uncle John's Band" presents the Dead in an acoustic and musically concise mode with close harmony singing. It is listed as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. In 2001 it was named 321st in the Songs of the Century project list. unknown books
