Peter, Paul & Mary - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Jan Hammer
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger,
who was later to become his wife. At the time the couple were lovers, although MacColl was married to someone else.
MacColl wrote the song for Seeger, also a folk singer, after she asked him to pen a song for a play she was in. MacColl wrote the song
and taught it to Seeger over the phone. The alternative version of the creation of this song is that MacColl was challenged by a friend
to write a love song, with no politics. This song was the result.

Mary Travers (Peter, Paul and Mary.) From the Morecombe and Wise Show (1972 BBC) The laughter at the start was for a comedy skit
which preceded the song.
The song was written by the late Ewan MacColl for his wife Peggy Seeger. When he wrote it in 1957 he sang it to Peggy over the telephone.
A quote from Peggy: " Ewan never sang "The First Time Ever" himself after that phone call. It became my song"

David Bowie - China Girl OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO. Top Of The Pops 1983
OFFICIAL VIDEO - Recorded from Top Of The Pops 1983. David Bowie born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947) is an English rock musician who
has also worked as an actor, record producer and arranger. A major figure for five decades in the world of popular music, Bowie is widely regarded
as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s, and is known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth of his work.
Although he released an album (David Bowie) and several singles earlier, Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in July 1969, when the song
"Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart. After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock
era with the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by the hit single "Starman" and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie's impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, "challenged the core belief of the rock music of its
day" and "created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture." The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved merely one facet of a career marked by
continual reinvention, musical innovation and striking visual presentation.
In 1975, Bowie achieved his first major American crossover success with the number-one single "Fame", co-written with John Lennon, and the hit album
Young Americans, which the singer characterised as "plastic soul". The sound constituted a radical shift in style that initially alienated many of his UK devotees.
He then confounded the expectations of both his record label and his American audiences by recording the minimalist album Low (1977)—the first of three
collaborations with Brian Eno over the next two years. The so-called "Berlin Trilogy" albums all reached the UK top five and garnered lasting critical praise.
After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had UK number ones with the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes" and its parent album, Scary Monsters
(and Super Creeps). He paired with Queen for the 1981 UK chart-topping single "Under Pressure", then reached a new commercial peak in 1983 with the
album Let's Dance, which yielded the hit singles "Let's Dance", "China Girl", and "Modern Love". Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment
with musical styles, including blue-eyed soul, industrial, adult contemporary, and jungle. His last recorded album was Reality (2003), which was supported by
the 2003--2004 Reality Tour.
Biographer David Buckley says of Bowie: "His influence has been unique in popular culture—he has permeated and altered more lives than any comparable figure.
"In the BBC's 2002 poll of the 100 Greatest Britons, Bowie was placed at number 29. Throughout his career, he has sold an estimated 136 million albums. In the
United Kingdom, he has been awarded 9 Platinum album certifications, 11 Gold and 8 Silver, and in the United States, 5 Platinum and 7 Gold certifications.
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him 39th on their list of the" 100 Greatest Artists of All Time", and 23rd on their list of the best singers of all-time.
Bowie paired with Queen in 1981 for a one-off single release, "Under Pressure". The duet was a hit, becoming Bowie's third UK number one single. The same
year, he made a cameo appearance in the German film Christiane F., a real-life story of teenage drug addiction in 1970s Berlin. The soundtrack, in which Bowie's
music featured prominently, was released as Christiane F. a few months later. Bowie was given the lead role in the BBC's 1981 televised adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's
play Baal. Coinciding with its transmission, a five-track EP of songs from the play, recorded earlier in Berlin, was released as David Bowie in Bertolt Brecht's Baal.
In March 1982, the month before Paul Schrader's film Cat People came out, Bowie's title song, "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)", was released as a single, becoming
a minor US hit and entering the UK top 30.
Shelved his solo career in 1989, retreating to the relative anonymity of band membership for the first time since the early 1970s. A hard-rocking quartet,
Tin Machine came into being after Bowie began to work experimentally with guitarist Reeves Gabrels. The line-up was completed by Tony and Hunt Sales,
known by Bowie since the late 1970s for their contribution, on drums and bass respectively, to Iggy Pop's 1977 album Lust For Life. |

LOOKING AT THE HISTORY OF PROSTITUTION IN LAS VEGAS
(The famous 1954 federal raid on Roxie’s Las Vegas brothel)
When Marie Rowley gives public lectures about the history of prostitution in Las Vegas from 1905-1955, senior citizen groups are some of her biggest
— and most enthusiastic — audiences. What was life like for prostitutes who worked on Block 16 in the 1920s? What was the city’s response? Are we
better off now compared to a time when prostitution was openly accepted and seen as an important part of the local economy?
Rowley, a native Las Vegan who recently completed a master’s thesis at UNLV on the history of prostitution in Vegas, became interested in the topic
several years ago after the Review-Journal ran a front-page story about prostitution on the Strip, including the mug shots of more than a dozen women
accused of being some of the city’s most “prolific prostitutes.”
“That case made me think about how we got to where we are now,” Rowley tells me on a recent afternoon. “I grew up in Vegas, so I was aware of just
how ubiquitous sexuality and sexual commerce was. I wondered, has anyone done this? Does anyone know the history of prostitution in Vegas?”
Rowley quickly discovered a fascinating story waiting to be told about Vegas’ rich history of prostitution. Over the course of several years—which included
visits to eight different archives in four states and many hours digging through boxes of old documents—she began to piece together an account of how
prostitution went from being openly tolerated in Las Vegas (although never officially sanctioned) to a cause for concern, as Vegas developed from a small
railroad town into a modern resort city increasingly conscious of how its reputation for vice might affect federal spending in the area.
Rowley’s account begins in 1905 with the establishment of Block 16, a parcel of land on 1st Street between Ogden and Stewart. Designated for saloons,
the area quickly became the city’s red-light district, serving the needs of railroad workers and, eventually, dam workers, who brought their money to the
neighborhood after every paycheck. Though Block 16 closed in 1942—the result of a moral crusade by a local real estate developer who saw dollar signs
if he could rid the area of prostitution—it was by no means the end of prostitution in the county. Rowley’s story finishes with the 1954 federal raid on Roxie’s,
a brothel in the area of town known as Four Mile. The ensuing federal trial, and the revelation that the county sheriff had received bribes to keep Roxie’s
in business, was the final nail in the coffin of public opinion.
According to UNLV sociologist Barb Brents, co-author of a book about legalized prostitution in Nevada, Rowley offers the “most comprehensive history
to date on prostitution in Las Vegas,” providing not only a layered account of prostitution, but also the increasing power and influence of the federal government
to shape local policies.
“It is clear that in Nevada, both our gambling and sex industries developed around larger national concerns that were based on rather prudish ideas about
sex,” Brents says.
Rowley, who will relocate to Chicago in August to pursue a Ph.D. in history, has spent the summer sharing her research with local community groups, including
a series of lectures at the Winchester Cultural Center. The last installment is scheduled for July 11.
According to Patrick Gaffey, cultural program supervisor at Winchester, Rowley’s research has been met with enthusiasm: “This is Las Vegas, and we are talking
about our own history. People regard prostitution differently here than they do in a lot of other states. After her talks, people seem to take a crusading tone
about the legality of it, arguing that it should be legal.”
Rowley’s research has piqued curiosity about the women who worked in brothels during the first half of the 20th Century. For example, one of the photos used
by the Winchester Cultural Center to publicize Rowley’s talks shows two prostitutes on Block 16, sitting outside the Arizona Club on a hot day. “When you look at
the photo,” Gaffey says, “you wonder, ‘Who were these women?’”
Rowley’s study provides some clues. By combing through census records, she was able to determine that, during its peak popularity in the 1920s and early
1930s, between 20 and 40 women worked on the block at any given time. They worked as independent contractors, renting their rooms at a weekly rate and
keeping all of their earnings. Brothel owners on Block 16 were “homegrown” businessmen and women—Las Vegas residents who, importantly, paid taxes.
All of this changed when Block 16 closed in 1942. Prostitution was driven underground, outside interests were introduced and decades of tolerance steadily eroded.
One of the most surprising discoveries Rowley made was learning that during World War II, prostitutes—and women thought to be prostitutes—were regularly
imprisoned in an effort to curb the spread of venereal disease among servicemen stationed in the area. Hundreds of women were arrested and detained in Las Vegas,
until a doctor could verify that they were disease-free.
“I had no idea these women were targeted, arrested and subjected to medical examinations against their will,” Rowley says. “It was a very coordinated effort
between federal, state and county agencies.”
For Rowley, prostitution provides a lens through which to view the growth of Las Vegas from a small town with a “Wild West” image into a modern tourist destination.
By the end of WWII, selling Las Vegas meant selling an image that conformed to the rest of the nation’s views on prostitution.
As Rowley demonstrates, it’s simply not enough to describe prostitution as the “world’s oldest profession” and leave it at that.
“I hope my research shows that prostitution doesn’t exist in a vacuum,” Rowley says, “but that it’s connected to cultural, economic and political trends. I feel like
when we discuss prostitution now, we don’t talk about the larger context. We treat it as an isolated issue, but that’s just not the case.”
