    Truevine: Two Brothers, a Kidnapping, and a Mother's Quest: A True Story of the Jim Crow South , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min
    The true story of two African American brothers who were kidnapped and displayed as circus freaks, and whose mother endured a 28-year struggle to get them back. The year was 1899, and the place a sweltering tobacco farm in the Jim Crow South town of Truevine, Virginia. George and Willie Muse were two little boys born to a sharecropper family. One day a white man offered them a piece of candy, setting off events that would take them around the world and change their lives forever. Captured into the circus, the Muse brothers performed for royalty at Buckingham Palace and headlined over a dozen sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. They were global superstars in a pre-broadcast era. But the very root of their success was in the color of their skin and in the outrageous caricatures they were forced to assume: supposed cannibals, sheep-headed freaks, even "ambassadors from Mars". Back home their mother never accepted that they were gone and spent 28 years trying to get them back. Through hundreds of interviews and decades of research, Beth Macy expertly explores a central and difficult question: Where were the brothers better off? On the world stage as stars or in poverty at home? Truevine is a compelling narrative rich in historical detail and rife with implications to race relations today.

    Truevine: An Extraordinary True Story of Two Brothers and a Mother's Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 614min
    The year was 1899, as the old people told the story, the place a sweltering tobacco farm in Truevine, Virginia, the heart of the Jim Crow South, where everyone they knew was either a former slave or a child or grandchild of slaves. The Muse brothers, George and Willie, were just six and nine years old, but they worked the fields from dawn to dark. Until a white man offered them candy and stole them away to become circus freaks. For the next 28 years, their distraught mother struggled to get them back. But were they really kidnapped? And how did their mother, a barely literate black woman in the segregated South, manage to bring them home? And why, after coming home, would they want to go back to the circus? At the height of their fame, the Muse brothers performed for royalty at Buckingham Palace and headlined over a dozen sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden. They were global superstars in a prebroadcast era. But the very root of their success was in the colour of their skin and in the outrageous caricatures they were forced to assume: supposed cannibals, sheep-headed freaks, even ambassadors from Mars. The result of hundreds of interviews and decades of research, Truevine, by author and journalist Beth Macy, tells the extraordinary story of what really happened to the Muse brothers for the first time. It is an unforgettable story of cruelty and exploitation but also of loyalty, determination and love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy Finegan.

    Jimi Hendrix: A Rockview Audiobiography, Hörbuch, Digital, 17min
    This exclusive and unique audiobiography features Jimi Hendrix together with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding at their last concert by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in Cologne, Germany. A month later Jimi would appear at Woodstock with his Gypsy Sun and Rainbows Band. The Experience was a major attraction by this time and in the same constellation as other artists at the Festival, including Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Frank Zappa, and Tim Buckley. Jimi is considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music and one of the most important and influential musicians of his era. In the early '60s Jimi, who was an Elvis fan, played and recorded with artists such as The Isley Brothers, The Walker Brothers, and Little Richard. Jimmy said, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice." With initial success in Europe he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later Jimi headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival, and in 1970 the Isle of Wight Festival. This rare recording is most likely one of 27-year-old Jimi's last interviews, given several months before his tragic and untimely death in September 1970 in London. Jimi talks about his music, humour, how he reaches the fans, the drugs, how he enjoys classical music, and his greatest wish of spending more time with his parents and family. This is not a music release by the artist or record company and sound quality may vary. We hear the real Hendrix, totally at ease and enjoying his success. Fans, critics, and music historians cannot afford to miss this classic and revealing audiobiog of this rock legend. Language: English. Narrator: Otto Schulz.

    The Sci-Fi Siren Who Dared Love Elvis and Other Stars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min
    Angelique Pettyjohn (1943-1992) was groomed and pampered to be the next Marilyn Monroe by the studio system. But on her way to stardom, she took a slight detour and became an icon in her own right, beloved by millions of fans worldwide. This is the incredible, true-life story of "the girl in the silver bikini" who dared to love Elvis Presley and give the King of Rock-n-Roll his only son. She also taught Captain Kirk on Star Trek how to make love to alien women, outsmarted Secret Agent Maxwell Smart, spied on the Girl from U.N.C.L.E., came between TV's Batman and Robin, put the sting back in the Green Hornet, showed partner Bruce Lee (as Kato) a few fast moves, headlined several sci-fi movies as an unforgettably sexy siren, was picked up as a hooker on the top-rated Hill Street Blues, and proved that women over 40 were shagadelic, baby! She was also a Las Vegas showgirl, exotic dancer, model, femme fatale, scream queen, comedian, Playboy pin-up, suburban housewife, and friend. During her 30-year career in show business, Angelique Pettyjohn always lit up the stage or screen with her splashy personality and sexy good looks. She dated most of Hollywood's leading men, and if her sex diary ever surfaced, there would be plenty of red faces in Tinsel Town. I met Angelique at a Star Trek convention in 1982, and during the last 10 years of her life, we developed a truly one-of-a-kind friendship. We became inseparable, and there wasn't a thing I would not have done for her. She asked me one final favor, while she lay dying; she asked me to tell her story, warts and all. This book, which has taken 28 years of exhaustive research, is my love letter to Angelique Pettyjohn, her story of tragedy and triumph in show business. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Fibber McGee and Molly, Collection 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
    Fibber McGee & Molly had a long and successful run on radio (1935-1959). The program showcased terrific comic and musical talent, headlined by its creators and stars, married couple Jim and Marian Jordan. Living in the fictional Midwestern town of Wistful Vista, Fibber was an American teller of tall tales and a braggart, usually to the exasperation of his long-suffering wife Molly. Life in Wistful Vista followed a well-developed formula but was always fresh. Fibber's weekly schemes would be interrupted, inspired by, and often played upon the people of Wistful Vista, a set of regular players and characters including Mayor LaTrivia, Doc Gamble, Mrs. Uppington, Wallace Wimple, Alice Darling, Beulah, Myrt, the Old Timer and Fibber’s next-door neighbor, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. The program used a series of running gags that would become part of the common language, many treasures can be found in the closet at 79 Wistful Vista. The show began as a comic reflection of Depression-era America, but as time went on and the shadows of war came over the nation, the show again caught the mood of the country. WWII was fought on the home front at Wistful Vista as surely as anywhere else in America, but here they had the benefit of Fibber's somewhat addled perspective. Now, enjoy 12 of their funniest radio broadcasts.  1/19/43 “Is Molly Joining the WAACs?” 1/26/43 “Fibber the Author” 2/2/43 “Cleaning the Hall Closet” 2/16/43 “Looking for Skilled War Workers” 3/16/43 “Fibber’s Horoscope” 3/23/43 “Collecting for the Red Cross” 4/6/43 “Fibber Has No Pep or Energy” 4/13/43 “Uncle Sycamore on the Radio” 4/20/43 “A Dress for Molly” 4/27/43 “Black Market Meat” 5/4/43 “Numerology” 5/11/43 “New Barometer Indicates Snow”  Language: English.
