Facts about Elvis Presley,
The King of Rock & Roll
1.
Elvis' famous black hair was dyed - his natural color was brown.
2.
Elvis purchased his first guitar when he was just 11 years old. He wanted a rifle, but his mama
convinced him to get a guitar instead.
3.
In 1947, a local radio show offered a young Elvis (aged 12) a chance to sing live on air, but he was too
shy to go on.
4.
At 18, Elvis paid $4 to make his first record, a gift for his mama.
5.
In 1954, Elvis auditioned for a gospel quartet named the Songfellows. They said no.
6.
That same year, a local radio DJ played Elvis' version of That's All Right. He went on to play it 13
more times that day, but had trouble convincing his audience that Elvis was white.
7.
His breakthrough hit was Heartbreak Hotel, released in 1956 - a song inspired by a newspaper article
about a local suicide.
8.
When performing on TV in 1956, host Milton Berle advised Elvis to perform without his guitar,
reportedly saying, "Let 'em see you, son." Elvis' gyrating hips caused outrage across the U.S. and
within days he was nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis.
9.
Elvis bought his mansion, Graceland, in Memphis, TN in 1957 for $100,000. It was named by its
previous owner after his daughter, Grace.
10. In 1956, he began his film career with a western, Love Me Tender. His second film, Loving You,
featured his parents as audience members. Following his mother's death in 1957, he never watched
the film again. He went on to make a total of 31 movies in his career.
11. In December 1957, Elvis was drafted into the U.S. Army, earning a $78 monthly salary. During his
brief two-year stint on active duty, he was unable to access his music-generated income of $400,000.
12. In 1959, while serving overseas in Germany, Elvis (then 24 years old) met his future wife, 14 year-old
Priscilla Beaulieu. They were married 8 years later.
13. Elvis' 1960 hit "It's Now or Never" so inspired a prisoner who heard it in jail that he vowed to pursue
a career in music upon his release. The artist, Barry White, was then serving a 4-month sentence for
stealing tyres.
14. Elvis and Priscilla's only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born in 1968. Lisa Marie later married
Michael Jackson (and Elvis obsessive) and actor Nicholas Cage. Mr. Cage is reportedly the only
person outside of Presley's immediate family to have ever seen Elvis' Graceland bedroom.
15. He was distantly related to former U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Jimmy Carter.
16. Elvis recorded more than 600 songs, but did not write any of them.

Die 1950's
•
1950 was die begin van vinnige veranderinge wat in die
volgende 2 dekades gesien sou word. Die groot depressie
was besig om 'n vae herinnering te word en families het
verhuis na die voorstede. Kinders kon Howdy dowdy
kyk op 12 duim swart en wit TV-stelle en kon hul
Saterdagmiddae deurbring deur spotprente by 'n
Teater te kyk. Tye was sagter met min geweld en die
verbruikersrewolusie was op 'n groot manier aan die
groei, en die man van die huishouding was die enigste
broodwinner. Die gemiddelde gesin se inkomste was
$3300 'n jaar en melk was steeds gelewer na jou eie
voorstoep.
•
Die jaar 1951 het die “Dennis the Menace” strokiesprent
in koerante oor die VSA vir die eerste keer verskyn.
•
Die wêreld se eerste passasier jet is vervaardig in die
Verenigde Koninkryk (The Comet) en het vir die eerste
keer op 2 Mei 1952 gevlieg.
•
Die fliek Peter Pan première in 1953.
•
In 1954 het Elvis Presley sy eerste kommersiële plaat
opgeneem.
•
Sewe uit tien gesinne het 'n motor besit in 1955. Die eerste
McDonalds is in 1955 opgerig en meer kitskosse en TV etes is ontdek.
Rock en Roll musiek het voortgegaan om te groei in gewildheid met meer
afgode waaronder Elvis Presley, Bill Haley en die Comets, Chuck Berry en
The Platters. Jong mans se mode het by die tye gepas met pienk hemde
en houtskool grys pakke.
•
Die jaar 1956 kon moeders weggooibare doeke en tefal kleefvrye panne
vir die eerste keer koop. Elvis Presley het op die “Ed Sullivan show”
verskyn en ook vir die eerste keer op die musiek "charts" met “Heart
Break Hotel”.
•
Die Soviete-Unie stuur Sputnik 2 ruimte toe in die jaar 1957. Aan
boord was die eerste dier wat die ruimte betree het - 'n hond
genaamd Laika.
•
In 1958 het die Wham-O maatskappy die Hula Hoop bekend
gestel; meer as 100 miljoen was verkoop.

1959 was dogtertjies bekendgestel aan Barbie. Die pop is
geskep deur Ruth Handler en gemaak deur Mattel.

Intersting facts
about diner
waitresses
1.
Women didn’t patronize or even work in diners until after the 1920s. Diners were parked
across from factories and filled with laborers. They had a saloon-type atmosphere and
women generally didn't feel comfortable in them. It wasn’t until WWII that women were
encouraged to work and eat in diners.
2. In 1941 in The Diner magazine, writer Sam Yellin listed the reasons why women should work
in diners, he said:
A. Women will work for less pay
B. Women will work harder than men
C. Women are always happy
D. Women can talk and work at the same time
E. Women are cleaner and more efficient than men
F. Women are more honest than men
G. Women don’t steal
H. Women won’t stay out late drinking and call in sick the next day
3. The stigma that diner waitresses have loose morals may have come from the 1920s when
prostitutes lied and told police that they were waitresses (to explain the cash they were
holding).
4. The average career waitress makes $20 to $30 an hour with tips.
5. Regular customers are their lifeline. Some regulars come in three times a day. Many career
waitresses in Counter Culture have waited on four generations of the same family and if
a waitress quits and moves to another restaurant, her regular customers will follow her
throughout her entire career.
6. Seniority pays off. Despite the common assumption that waitressing offers no benefits,
some diners offer their longstanding waitresses a higher hourly wage, health insurance,
retirement benefits, Christmas bonuses and paid vacations.
7.
Waitressing is easier for lifers. Being experienced and having regular customers cuts their
serving time and labor in half.
8. The physical nature of the work actually helps
older waitresses age better. Ina Kapitan, age 83
says, “Waitressing helps my arthritis. If I stayed
home and did nothing I would be crippled. My doctor
says whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.”

Ouma se Sago
Poeding
Smul aan hierdie tradisionele poeding. Geniet dit warm of koud, in plaas van die tradisionele
appelkooskonfyt kan jy stroop en kaneel op strooi.
Bestanddele:
4 kop volroom melk
3 eetl suiker
sout
5 eetl botter
6 eetl sago
4 eiers
1 tl vanielje
4 eetl appelkooskonfyt
Metode:
Kook melk,sago en suiker tot gaar en goed sag. Laat
afkoel. Gooi geklitste eiergele en vanielje by – roer
nou botter in. Meng goed. Gooi poeding in bak. Bak
ongeveer half uur by 180ºC tot gaar en gestol. Klits
eierwitte styf. Smeer nou die appelkooskonfyt booor en dan die styfgeklopte eierwitte.
Wenk: Srooi bietjie droë maizena eers bo-oor poeding
voor jy die eierwitte oorgooi – dit maak dat die eierwit
nie loskom van die poeding af nie. Bak in oond tot
eierwitte mooi ligbruin is.

Rock Music
in the 50's
In the early 1950's the American Pop Charts are dominated by the remnants of
the big band era including vocalists such as Doris Day, Frankie Lane, Frank Sinatra,
Rosemary Clooney and Nat King Cole, along with band leaders Mitch Miller, Percy
Faith and others. The Rhythm & Blues Charts feature AfricanAmerican artists playing to a predominately AfricanAmerican audience in urban centers and the south.
Cleveland, Ohio radio Disc Jockey Alan Freed is
an exception with his "Moondog Show" where
he spins up-tempo rhythm & blues hits, but
aims his show beyond the traditional AfricanAmerican audience for R&B and gains a wide
audience of both white and black teenagers.
Freed eventually names this cross-current of
musical styles and influences - electric blues, boogie,
jazz, gospel, R&B vocal groups and country - "Rock and Roll".
The solid body electric guitar becomes commercially available in the early fifties and
is quickly adapted by R&B artists, as well as Pop artists. The 78 RPM record is replaced by
the LP (long playing) vinyl album and the 45 RPM single is introduced.
In 1953, Bill Haley and His Comets are the first to hit the pop charts with a true rock and roll
song, taking their single "Crazy Man Crazy" to #12. Black R&B artists such as Doo Wop group
the Orioles achieve crossover success on the Pop Charts in 1953 with their R&B hit "Crying In
The Chapel".
More cross-over hits from black R&B artists such as Fats Domino and The Platters
climb the pop charts. White artists such as Pat Boone, The Crewcuts and Georgia
Gibbs find success covering R&B hits and turning them into hits on the pop
charts.
Independent record labels such as Sun (Memphis), Ace (Jackson, MS), Vee-Jay
(Gary, IN), Chess (Chicago), Specialty Records (Los Angeles) and many other
labels are quick to pick up on the opportunity and begin to release
Rock and Roll records from newly signed artists.
In 1955 Rock and Roll has its first nationwide #1 hit when
Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock" tops the Pop Charts.
Although considered a novelty or fad by most, rock proves
it's staying power. In 1955 black R&B artists Little Richard and
Chuck Berry score significant Pop hits. Scouts from RCA records,
looking to sign their own Rock and Roll performer, buy out the contract
of Memphis singer Elvis Presley from regional label Sun Records.
In April 1956 Elvis Presley tops the Pop Charts with his first
RCA single release "Heartbreak Hotel". By the end of
the year he would be the first artist ever to have
nine singles in the Hot 100 at one time. By 1957
rock and roll artists appear regularly on the
popular music charts and by 1959 rock and roll
records account for 43% of all records sold.
The end of the decade is marked by tragedy as a
February 1959 plane crash takes the lives of rock
and roll stars Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and
Ritchie Valens.

Kinderjare
Kan jy onthou
Ek was gelukkig om groot te word in 'n era waar daar nog nie televisie, rekenaars, videospeletjies,
sms’e, facebook, twitter en soortgelyke tydverdrywe uitgedink was nie. Ek was verder gelukkig
om in 'n hegte, uitgebreide familie groot te word, waar daar altyd 'n klein leerskare neefs en niggies
beskikbaar was om enige potensiële vervelige oomblik soos mis voor die son te laat verdwyn.
Ons was meestal buite aan die hardloop, wegkruip, skop en rinkink. Deur die loop van 'n gemiddelde
dag in die skoolvakansie, sou ons net asem skep om vinnig 'n toebroodjie met koedrank af te sluk,
om sodoende nie te veel speeltyd te verloor nie.
Die speletjies het gewissel van cowboys en kroeks, wegkruipertjie, touchies, king, running red
rovers, rugby (die niggies het nie veel van 'n keuse gehad nie), atletiek en foefieslaaid ry, tot heelwat
meer gevaarlike pogings. As die sirkus in die dorp was het dit gewoonlik tot gevolg gehad dat ons
in behoorlike akrobate verander het. Ons sou byvoorbeeld, met wisselende sukses, met een sprong
op die persoon voor jou se skouers probeer spring. Dat ons nog al ons bene tot vandag oorgehou
het was net genade.
In ons agterplaas was 'n groot area met vrugtebome, wat die perfekte speelterrein vir ons
klomp was. Daar kon ons paaie skraap, brûe bou, huise inrig en 'n hele infrastruktuur skep vir
my versameling Matchbox karretjies. Modder het natuurlik 'n groot deel van die pret uitgemaak.
Daar is huise gebou van bakstene met 'n modder dak, die brûe was van bakstene of vloerblokkies
wat met modder aan mekaar gehou is en alhoewel die meeste van ons snelweë aan die hoogste
spesifikasies voldoen het, moes daar natuurlik ook paaie wees wat soos moerasse moes lyk vir die
toepaslike Matchbox voertuie.
Ek het vir 'n verjaarsdag 'n reuse stel geel plastiekbane as persent gekry wat ons vir dae besig
gehou het. Die stel kon as 'n enkelbaan of twee bane langs mekaar aanmekaar gesit word. Die
wegspring was aan die diefwering van my kamervenster vasgesit en het 'n goeie vyftien meter
verder tussen die vrugtebome geëindig. Dit het vele moontlikhede na vore gebring. Karretjies kon
of teen mekaar jaag of probeer om op die enkelbaan nuwe rekords op te stel.
Daar was egter dae wat die weer ons nie wou toelaat om die normale roetine te volg nie en ons
noodgedwonge binne moes speel. Dit het beslis nie die entoesiasme gedemp nie en het ons
gladweg oorgeskakel na 'n verskeidenheid “binne” aktiwiteite. Daar was vingerbord, wat ons
vir ure vermaak het en Monopoly en Risk, wat ons vir dae aaneen vermaak het.
Ons het ook 'n boks speletjies gehad met 'n sewe-in-een aanbod. Daarin was slangetjies en
leertjies, ludo, dambord, 'n speletjie waar jy 'n ronde plastiekdingetjie in 'n houer moes lanseer,
chinese checkers en 'n paar waarby ons nooit uitgekom het nie. Latere jare het kaartspeel ook
deel van die binne aktiwiteite uitgemaak, alhoewel ons maar skelm moes kaartspeel, want
ouma, die hoof van die familie, het dit as iets uit die bose beskou.
Ek sien hoe speel kinders vandag met Playstations, selfone en rekenaarspeletjies. Hulle sal
seker ook oor veertig jaar terugdink aan hulle kinderjare en hoe lekker hulle gespeel het.
Maar ek wonder tog of hulle dit dieselfde gaan ervaar. Dit wil al vir my voel of daar iets verlore
geraak het. 'n Konneksie met maats, neefs en niggies en speel tot jy van
moegheid omval.
