Extractions: Richard Wright's Life Ann Rayson W right, Richard (4 Sept. 1908-28 Nov. 1960), author, was born Richard Nathaniel Wright on Rucker's Plantation, between Roxie and Natchez, Mississippi, the son of Nathaniel Wright, an illiterate sharecropper, and Ella Wilson, a schoolteacher. When Wright was five, his father left the family and his mother was forced to take domestic jobs away from the house. Wright and his brother spent a period at an orphanage. Around 1920 Ella Wright became a paralytic, and the family moved from Natchez to Jackson, then to Elaine, Arkansas, and back to Jackson to live with Wright's maternal grandparents, who were restrictive Seventh-day Adventists. Wright moved from school to school, graduating from the ninth grade at the Smith Robertson Junior High School in Jackson as the class valedictorian in June 1925. Wright had published his first short story, "The Voodoo of Hell's Half-Acre," in three parts in the Southern Register in 1924, but no copies survive. His staunchly religious and illiterate grandmother, Margaret Bolden Wilson, kept books out of the house and thought fiction was the work of the devil. Wright kept any aspirations he had to be a writer to himself after his first experience with publication. After grade school Wright attended Lanier High School but dropped out after a few weeks to work; he took a series of odd jobs to save enough money to leave for Memphis, which he did at age seventeen. While in Memphis he worked as a dishwasher and delivery boy and for an optical company. He began to read contemporary American literature as well as commentary by H. L. Mencken, which struck him with particular force. As Wright reveals in his autobiography

Extractions: Joan Armatrading , singer/songwriter/guitar, b: Basseterre, St. Kitts, West Indies, (raised in Birmingham, England.) In 1958, the Armatrading family moved to Birmingham, England, and Joan taught herself to play piano and guitar, before meeting Pam Nestor, who was also a West Indian immigrant (b. Berbice, Guyana, April 28, 1948). At the time, both ladies were working in a touring cast of the celebrated hippie musical, 'Hair.' interesting to now is that Armatrading and Nestor wrote songs together, and individually. Joan recorded her first album when she was 21 years old, and has since never done a duet with anyone. .
Maryiln Monroe, Anne Baxter, And Frank Lloyd Wright's Death Frank Lloyd wright Architecture Design Style by robert Green Architect AIA sometimes though in the Pavilion and occasionally by a world renown pianist. http://www.robertgreen.com/robert_green/rg4/rg4.asp
Extractions: Architect AIA Frank Lloyd Wright: Marilyn Monroe, Ann Baxter and His Death One of my jobs, for a couple of weeks, was cleaning Mr and Mrs Wright's living room. Cleaning there one day, I saw Mr Wright approach from another part of his quarters. I was standing off to the side and he did not see me. One of the family's grey Weimaraner dogs was lying across the threshold of the opened glass door leading into the living room. Mr Wright stopped an inch or two from the dog and looked down. The dog did not move. Mr Wright then peered up and around, looking to see if anyone could witness what he intended doing. He didn't see me. Then this ninety year old man pulled one leg back, and kicked that dog as hard as he could. The dog let out a yelp and jumped away. I laughed, and then Mr Wright saw me. He smiled and said, "That dog is always in the way, too stupid to move." On the weekends, the time was ours of course. On Saturday night we had a special supper served in the underground theater, after which we saw a first line movie, often before it had hit the theaters. I don't know how this was managed. I remember one night we saw a western, and after the movie Mr Wright stood up and said, with a twinkle in his eye, "Well, boys, a good western needs lots of shooting and horses, great scenery

Extractions: Abstract. Mark and Linda Keane describe a seminar that seeks to answer these questions with evidence of a renaissance of work in the twenty-first century that emanates or owes allegiance to mathematical explorations configured in Wright's body of work. This seminar, The Geometry of Wright, offers students in the state of Wisconsin the opportunity to learn about Wright's life, those who influenced him, and those whom he influenced. The combination of history, theory, mathematics, and design activities in this seminar offer students an opportunity to become aware of Wright's use of geometry, understand its roots and precedents, and apply them to a project of their own. This whole language approach to learning embeds appreciation of mathematic principles and encourages students to apply geometric relationships in their own search for proportion and form.

George Wright, 77, Theater Organist With A Cult Following By robert McG. THOMAS Jr,. George wright, a master theater organist with such a He demonstrated enough natural talent to sustain a career as a pianist, http://theatreorgans.com/cds/fastweb.html
Extractions: May 30, 1998 By ROBERT McG. THOMAS Jr, eorge Wright, a master theater organist with such a deft touch it was said he could make a mighty Wurlitzer swing when it wasn't actually jitterbugging, died on May 10 at a Los Angeles hospital near his home atop the Hollywood Hills. He was 77. Friends said the cause was congestive heart failure. In an era of rock and rap it's easy to forget that the Wurlitzer was once the dominant musical instrument of the land, underscoring and heightening everything from tense cliffhangers to tender love scenes in the silent movie palaces of the 1920s. It is a tribute to the powerful appeal the soaring, multi-faceted music exerted on movie audiences that when the advent of talkies rendered the Wurlitzer redundant as instant sound track, theaters continued to schedule organ concerts before, between and after movie screenings. Wright was born too late for silent movie work, but it is a tribute to his artistry that he was packing them in at the Fox Theater in San Francisco in the 1940s, playing at sold-out houses at the Paramount Theater in New York as late as the 1950s, touring through the 1970s and turning out the most recent of his some 60 albums this past February. Along the way, he, like the Wurlitzer, acquired a cult following. And if that is another way of saying that theater
