Stringtown Dance Murder August 5, 1932

During this time, Clyde was wanted for a Hillsboro, TX murder he was involved in as the getaway driver. Barrow gang member Ray Hamilton, who decided to go straight and work in Michigan with his father, returned to Dallas after he was laid off his job and gets falsely accused of the same Hillsboro murder. Ray, now a wanted man, rejoins Clyde and Bonnie. Bonnie had just served 2 months in jail and was seeing Clyde in secret behind her mother's back. Clyde, Ray, and a third participant named Ross Dyer, decide to wait for things to cool off in Texas and head to Oklahoma. Bonnie does not join the rest of the gang and instead, chose to stay at home with her mother.

As the gang are pulling into Stringtown, Oklahoma, they pick up a hitchhiker along the way and Ross Dyer spots an outdoor country dance in an open pavilion and wants to stop by in search for some moonshine. The trio stuck out like a sore thumb in their flashy gangster suits while everyone else are in overalls and worn out clothes, already raising suspicion towards themselves. Bootleg liquor was being passed around, the lawmen were aware but allowed it unless trouble escalated. Once the boys filled up their flasks, they agreed to hang around a while.

Ross and the hitchhiker were interested in the dance unlike Clyde and Ray who were wanted for murder. Allowing their friends to have their fun, the wanted men stayed in the car, reparking numerous times to avoid getting blocked in. Sheriff Maxwell and Deputy Moore receive complaints from angry drunken men about Ross and his new friend mingling with their girlfriends. The lawmen standby and take notice of them going back and forth from Clyde's lavish ride to the dance floor, and quickly catch on to their suspicious behavior.

Leaving no choice but to arrest them first, they approach their car window, and Deputy Moore starts announcing their arrest. But before he could fully get his words out, Clyde and Ray fire their guns without hesitation. Moore dies instantly, but Sheriff Maxwell miraculously survives six gunshot wounds. A two man band were playing that night, one guitar player and one fiddler. The guitarist indicated that when he hit the first chords of "Way Down Yonder", "Hell broke loose, and I mean hell." Ross, who was on the dancefloor, did not make the getaway car and got left behind with the hitchhiker. Ross later gets captured in Texas. The Stringtown dance marks the first time Clyde or Ray had ever killed a policeman.

「 the introduction 」

Marti is the youngest child of 4 with three older brothers. She works for her family's company as a music producer.

To say her family's status has impacted her life in a positive way is an understatement. She attended a fancy private Catholic school growing up, drove nice cars, and general lived a pretty comfortable lifestyle due to her family's money.

Her mom was a backup singer in her day and Marti's dad was a musician in a semi-famous band (managed by Applause, obviously, and then transitioned into the role of COO once he settled down and started raising a family.

Marti's brothers all ended up doing something musical, whether it was playing in a band or starting a singing career. She's the only one who isn't actively performing, but she still fell in love with the industry. Going to watch her older brothers record in the studio was always her favorite, and that's where she got her start.

Marti applied for and attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in London to study music production. She probably could've gone without college with the family connections and having grown up around the industry, but she wanted to really be the best of the best.

Three years after leaving for London, Marti returned home openly bisexual, engaged to a British man, and ready to set fire to the industry she'd grown to miss in her time overseas. Unfortunately, things aren't always what they seem. Marti caught her fiancé in bed with someone else not once but two different times, and she quickly learned he had only proposed in hopes of her helping him land a deal with Applause.

To recover from the humiliation of giving two and a half years of her life to a man not even worth another moment, Marti threw herself into her work, establishing a reputation in the industry for pushing the envelope whenever possible. If you've got the safety net of your family's legacy to catch you, why would you be afraid to take your shot?

「 deeper dive 」

This girl is a smidge terrified of turning thirty because that feels like an adult age and she considers herself very much Not An Adult.

Marti tends to fight to work on projects she thinks are going to be game-changers. She usually opts for female artists, songs or projects that will allow her to flex her creative muscle, or anything that's going to cause a scene or challenge the industry.

Marti's using her mother's surname both personally and professionally mostly because she really loves supporting Latinas and also because she wants to make sure nobody can say she just got her job because she's a Cabrera.

She's definitely a "Stick it to the Man!" kind of gal, and she has no problems pointing out flaws in a male-dominated industry that rarely takes women like her seriously.

You'll often find her dancing in a studio during playback and generally always having a good time! She loves to make the process fun and exciting.

People at Applause whisper that she's only got the job because of her father, but really, she's a balance of hardworking and talented on top of the nepo baby status.

Do. Not. Bring. Up. Her. Ex. She trashes him at every possible opportunity, including loudly talking trash over his songs when they play at a bar. Things did not end well, obviously, and she's a firm believer that the man is the spawn of Satan.

Marti is determined to never find herself in a serious relationship again, and she isn't one to really do dates but she loves a good hook up. Notorious for asking people not to catch feelings because she will ghost them if they do.

January 13, 1982

Between 6-10 inches fell in a band from Hamilton to Hillsboro to Tyler, with Clifton and Itasca reporting 15 inches for the event. The totals easily place this event among the greatest North Texas snowfalls of the 20th century.

At least four inches fell south of a line through Abilene-Dublin-Corsicana-Longview, and north of a line through San Angelo-San Saba-Marlin-Jacksonville. Only a trace fell in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Temple areas with this event.

shout out to me, I made it to episode five of derry girls before I had to google something too irish for my american brain ("orangemen?????" & "what is a punt purse") and honestly that ain't too shabby so I'm happy about it

that said, the orangemen seem weird as shit to me, like knock-off freemason paramilitary loyalist protestants marching against… catholicism?? in full costume… for no reason?? don't get me wrong, inter-denominational beef is already a super weird thing on its own, in any religion imo, but that seems a bit overelaborate, and like a very… odd choice for a tradition to keep alive for 200+ years

good to know there's ugly spiritual dysfunction channeled into dumb petty shit everywhere in the world, I guess, but for as many door to door jesus salesmen, televangelists, megachurches, and bigoted comic books as I've had to deal with here, I can honestly say I've never had to put up with a fucking successfully organized parade complete with a marching band designed to protest my family's* whole religion

#like obviously you get marches FOR bigoted groups & you've got folks like hillsboro protesting people's existence #but they don't usually buy matching outfits or get parade permits #and even for shit like klan rallies & proud boys or who the fuck ever there isn't a fucking band #and those folks are absolutely dangerous but also generally outnumbered & barely organized in anything but name #it's just super ultra weird. #like it's def civil war re-enactor proud to be fighting for the south level weird… but those guys don't have parades afaik! #idfk man i can't wrap my head around it. #derry girls

Donald Lytle/Donny Young/Johnny Paycheck

Artist Biography by Dan Cooper

The first time that many people ever heard of Johnny Paycheck was in 1977, when his "Take This Job and Shove It" inspired one-man wildcat strikes all over America. The next time was in 1985, when he was arrested for shooting a man at a bar in Hillsboro, OH. That Paycheck is remembered for a fairly amusical novelty song and a violent crime (for which he spent two years in prison) is a shame, for it just so happens that he is one of the mightiest honky tonkers of his time. Born and raised in Greenfield, OH, Paycheck was performing in talent contests by the age of nine and riding the rails as a drifter by the time he turned 15. After a Navy stint landed him in the brig for two years, he arrived in Nashville, where he performed in the bands of Porter Wagoner, Faron Young, Ray Price, and George Jones. He recorded several singles under the name Donny Young, then, in 1965, cut his first sides as Johnny Paycheck for the Hilltop label. A year later, he and gadfly producer Aubrey Mayhew started the Little Darlin' label, for which Paycheck recorded his greatest work. Marked by Lloyd Green's knockout steel guitar and Paycheck's broad, resonant vocals (not to mention his rounder's sense of humor) his Little Darlin' records of the 1960s have since become cult favorites. After splitting with Mayhew (and after running his life into the gutter) Paycheck made a celebrated comeback on Epic in the 1970s. "Take This Job and Shove It" was the most famous result, though ballads like "She's All I Got" and "Someone to Give My Love To" are far more indicative of his stylistic range.

Born Donald Lytle, Paycheck began playing guitar when he was six, and within three years, he was performing talent contests across the state. When he was 15, he ran away from home, hitchhiking, and hoboing his away across the country, singing in honky tonks and clubs along the way. By his late teens, he had joined the Navy, but while he was serving, he assaulted a superior officer and was convicted of court martial. As a result, he spent two years in the brig. Upon his release, he moved to Nashville, where made the acquaintance of Buddy Killen at Decca Records, who offered him a contract. At Decca, Paycheck released two rockabilly singles on the label under the name Donny Young; neither were hits. Shortly afterward, he moved to Mercury, where he released two country singles, which were also failures. By that time, he had begun supporting other musicians, playing bass and occasionally steel guitar with Porter Wagoner, Faron Young, and Ray Price. He frequently moved between employers because of his short-fused temper. Paycheck finally found his match in George Jones. He stayed with Jones for four years, fronting the Jones Boys between 1962 and 1966, and singing backup on George's hits "I'm a People," "The Race Is On," and "Love Bug."

Toward the end of his stint with Jones, Donald Lytle refashioned himself as Johnny Paycheck, taking his name from a Chicago heavyweight boxer. Late in 1965, he relaunched his solo career with the assistance of producer Aubrey Mayhew, who produced a pair of singles -- "A-11" and "Heartbreak Tennessee" -- for Hilltop Records. Though it only charted at number 26, "A-11" caused a sensation within the country community, earning several Grammy nominations as well as reviews that compared Paycheck to his mentor, Jones. In 1966, he and Mayhew formed Little Darlin' Records, primarily designing the label to promote Paycheck, but also recording Jeannie C. Riley, Bobby Helms, and Lloyd Green. That summer, "The Lovin' Machine" became Paycheck's first Top Ten hit. Also that year, he wrote Tammy Wynette's first hit, "Apartment #9," with Bobby Austin and Fuzzy Owen; Paycheckalso wrote Ray Price's number three hit "Touch My Heart."

All of Paycheck's recordings for Little Darlin' Records rank among his grittiest, hardest country, but they weren't necessarily big hits. Between 1967 and 1969, Paycheck had eight more hit singles, with each record progressively charting at a lower position than its predecessor -- "Motel Time Again" reached number 13 in early 1967, while "If I'm Gonna Sink" climbed to number 73 in late 1968. Though "Wherever You Are" showed signs of a comeback in the summer of 1969, peaking at number 31, the label went bankrupt shortly after its release, partially due to Paycheck's declining commercial performance, partially due to his heavy drinking and erratic behavior. Over the course of the next year, he moved to California and sunk deeply into substance abuse. Meanwhile, Billy Sherrill at Epic Records had been searching for Paycheck with the hopes of producing his records. The label finally tracked him down in 1971 and offered him a contract, provided that he cleaned himself up. Paycheck accepted the offer and, with Sherrill's assistance, kicked his addictions.

Like many of Sherrill's records of the early '70s, his Paycheck recordings were heavily produced and often layered with stings. Though this was a shift from the hardcore country that Paycheck made on Little Darlin', the new approach was a hit -- his debut single for the label, "She's All I Got," became a number two hit upon its fall 1971 release. It was quickly followed by another Top Ten hit, "Someone to Give My Love To," and Paycheck was finally becoming a star. During the next four years, he had 12 additional hit singles -- including 1973's Top Ten singles "Something About You I Love" and "Mr. Lovemaker," and 1974's "For a Minute There" -- with the more accessible, pop-oriented songs Sherrillcrafted for him, but Paycheck's wild ways hadn't changed all that much. In 1972, he was convicted of check forgery and, in 1976, was saddled with a paternity suit, tax problems, and bankruptcy. Accordingly, he shifted his musical style in the mid-'70s to put him in step with the renegade outlaw country movement.

Paycheck's first outlaw album, 1976's 11 Months and 29 Days (which happened to be the length of his suspended sentence for passing a bad check), featured a photo of him in a jail cell on the cover, signalling his change of direction. Initially, his outlaw records weren't hits, but early in 1977 he returned to the Top Ten with a pair of Top Ten singles, "Slide Off of Your Satin Sheets" and "I'm the Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)." Later that year, he released his cover of David Allan Coe's "Take This Job and Shove It," which became his biggest hit, spending two weeks at number one; its B-side, "Colorado Kool-Aid," also charted at number 50. Soon, Paycheck's records were becoming near-parodies of his lifestyle, as the title "Me and the I.R.S." and "D.O.A. (Drunk on Arrival)" indicated. Nevertheless, he stayed at the top of the charts, with "Friend, Lover, Wife" and "Mabellene" both reaching number seven in late 1978 and early 1979.

Shortly after the twin success of those singles, his career began to crumble due to his excessive, violent behavior. In 1979, his former manager Glenn Ferguson began a prolonged and difficult legal battle. In 1981, a flight attendant for Frontier Airlines sued him for slander after he began a fight on a plane. The following year, he was arrested for alleged rape. The charges were later reduced and he was fined, but by that point, Epic had had enough and dropped him from the label. Paycheck moved over to AMI, where he had a number of small hit singles between 1984 and 1985. Later in 1985, he had a barroom brawl with a stranger in Hillsboro, OH, that ended with Paycheck shooting and injuring his opponent. The singer was arrested for aggravated assault and spent the next four years appealing the sentence while he recorded for Mercury Records. None of his singles for the label reached the Top 40, and he was dropped from the label in 1987. He spent 1988 at Desperado Records before signing with Damascus the following year, after his conversion to Christianity.

In 1989, Paycheck's appeals had expired and he was sentenced to the Chillicothe Correctional Institute. He spent two years at the prison, even performing a concert with Merle Haggard at the jail during his stint, before being released on parole in January 1991. Following his release, Paycheck kept a low profile, playing shows in Branson, MO, and recording for the small label Playback Records. After battling diabetes and emphysema for a number of years, Paycheck passed away in February 2003. He was 64.

UNDER THE RADAR: JULY 2023

July’s Under The Radar is our kind of Vancouver Special. Check out these summer releases from SaBand, Haley K Turner, Fake Shark, Not Sisters, Hillsboro, and Jonah Ocean!

1) SaBand - “We Don’t Like The Sun”

"We Don’t Like The Sun” is apprehensive and callous as it explores the “frustration and rage” of a strained relationship between father and son. I liken it to a dramatic garage rock song that has the smashing guitar solo and danceability, but a layered emotional core. It delves into the presence of an absentee parent while referencing ideals and ancient rituals (Mr. Righteous and “dance with Dionysus”); their enigmatic approach bears a rousing factor all on its own. The ultimate disappointment is heavy, but not surprising (“You failed to read my gaze / your smile remains”). SaBand does an excellent job in the sound department, working with producer Felix Fung to form a frenetic yet matured energy. The back half of the track really shines as the sorrows intensify. We care more than we like to admit when it comes to family.

The band’s new album What You Paid For is out now.

Written by: Chloe Hoy

2) Haley K Turner - “Can’t Find Her”

Haley K Turner’s latest single, “Can’t Find Her,” takes aim at disposable dating culture – a harsh reality for many. The alt-folk tune was recorded with Juno-nominated producer Tom Dobrzanski (The Zolas, Said the Whale), and is an amalgam of piano, guitars, and orchestral strings with uplifting intensity. Turner addresses those who abandon a relationship for the excitement of someone new, asking what happens when the cycle doesn’t repeat. Her voice has a timeless quality to it, weaving in and out of empowerment and heartache.

Turner grew up in Kelowna and as I currently reside in the city, I can’t help but assume her imagery alludes to the unfortunate but oft Okanagan wildfires. It adds a personal touch to music that is textured, relatable and gentle; the essence of being human.

Written by: Natalie Hoy

3) Fake Shark - “Bummer Summer”

“Bummer Summer” is a bit of a self-inflicted pity party; the repercussions of burning every bridge at the solitary forefront.

It is concise but eye-catching. Eerie falsetto, a deepening hook and even rawer lyricism harbour a sense of longing throughout. While some of the band’s recent releases showcase more jangled, electronic-inspired sounds, their knack for shout-along punk and tight musicianship remain unmatched. “I used to be so much stronger / now I hang onto pain like it’s worth something,” frontman Kevin “Kevvy Mental” Maher sings with nonchalance. Billed as an anti-song of the summer, “Bummer Summer” drips with intrigue and sarcasm—a tragedy of one’s own doing.

Written by: Natalie Hoy

4) Not Sisters - “Shades of Blue” 

Online dating can be a tumultuous time as alluded to in “Shades of Blue.” The bedroom pop duo, comprised of vocalist Amanda Doucette and producer/multi-instrumentalist Tom Maguire, revels in the anticipation of a new flame and the brooding repetition of nights alone. It has a bubblegum sound but does offer lyrical depth beyond the lighthearted exterior (“I was trying to beat fate / cause this sh*t’s never calibrated in my favour”). Recalling a “rough four to five months” in Doucette’s past, the song muses over the prospects of love found and lost, unfortunate timing, and what it could mean for the future. Her vocals are playful, at times layered as inner thoughts are expressed. Their music is modern and fun while amplifying how our feelings can permeate into all aspects of our life—especially where hearts are involved.  

Their self-produced debut EP Feelings Make Us Human is out now. 

Written by: Chloe Hoy

5) Hillsboro - “Exit Plan”

I love a good west coast introduction—having not been familiar with Victoria’s Hillsboro prior to their pitch email, I am now well sold on their grungy, indie pop rock marriage. Lead vocalist and guitarist Nima Walker’s own tortured past is at the core of their upcoming debut record, reflective of his “newfound intoxication with self-ruin” at the start of the pandemic. “Exit Plan” is the pain; actions and thoughts driven by destructive tendencies and delirium. It lacks pleasure and redemption while unraveling with alarming ease (“No sleep with all the noise and speed / Just find me when you want to leave”). Their sound is distorted vibrancy, reaching for resolve amidst agitation at every corner.

A forewarning of the shame and anguish associated with self-loathing and longing, with the essence of 90′s alternative, “Exit Plan” is devoted to their burden. I feel saddened by the lived gloom, but hopeful knowing Walker’s recognition of his limitations burned a gritty path forward. The band’s album will be released on September 15.

Written by: Chloe Hoy

6) Jonah Ocean - “Heaven”

Gorgeous choral harmonies open Jonah Ocean’s “Heaven” – as much a feeling as it is a place. Floating synths and grooving guitars form the melody; a drum knocks like a heartbeat. Akin to a breezy summer night, “Heaven” portrays the euphoria felt from music and from sharing that experience with others (“Hold me just like I was in the womb / Like god was in the room”). Jonah has a diploma in jazz/contemporary guitar, also integrating pop, rnb, and a killer croon. Lush and imaginative; desire without worry. You can’t get much closer to a moment than this.

I grew up in North Plains, a lil town just outside Hillsboro, and every year in august there was an elephant garlic festival. It was little, just a small craft market and food and small local bands. It colored basically every summer I lived there- looking forward to it, spending the entire time running around. There was a man there most years I went, he'd sit there for hours on end telling stories to gathered children as he made clay pots and vases on a wheel. One of my more magical experiences.

Oregon’s festivals are always pretty fun, I know we have a lot of them just in the Portland area alone. I don’t think it’s called this any more or if it even is an event any more but when I was a kid I remember this thing called “Taste of Beaverton” that came around every year where there would be food, performers, and local businesses with booths set up. And they did hot air balloon rides. 

They’d advertise it by putting up these big hot air balloon decorations on top of buildings.

Today we remember the passing of Johnny Paycheck who Died: February 19, 2003 in Vanderbilt University - Nashville, Tennessee

Johnny Paycheck was an American country music singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Grand Ole Opry member notable for recording the David Allan Coe song "Take This Job and Shove It". He achieved his greatest success in the 1970s as a force in country music's "outlaw movement" popularized by artists Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver, and Merle Haggard. In the 1980s, his music career slowed due to drug, alcohol and legal problems. He served a prison sentence in the early 1990s and his declining health effectively ended his career in early 2000.

Johnny Paycheck was born Donald Eugene Lytle on May 31, 1938, in Greenfield, Ohio. By age 9, Lytle was already playing in talent contests. His big break came in the early 1960s when he convinced country music legend George Jones to hire him. Paycheck provided harmony vocals as well as bass and steel guitar for Jones. He later co-wrote Jones's hit song "Once You've Had the Best."

In 1964, he changed his name legally to Johnny Paycheck, taking the name from Johnny Paychek, a top-ranked boxer from Chicago who once fought Joe Louis for the heavyweight title. He first charted under his new name with "A-11" in 1965. His best-selling single from this period was "She's All I Got", which reached No. 2 on the U.S. country singles charts in 1971 and made it onto the Billboard Hot 100. His "Mr. Lovemaker" also reached No. 2 on the U.S. country singles chart in 1973. But with the popularity of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings in the mid 1970s, Paycheck changed his image to that of outlaw, with which he was to have his largest financial success.

It was his producer Billy Sherrill who helped revive his career by significantly changing his sound and image. Sherrill was best known for carefully choreographing his records and infusing them with considerable pop feel. The Paycheck records were clearly based on Sherrill's take on the bands backing Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson on records.

In 1981, Paycheck was arrested for statutory rape of a 12 year old girl in Wyoming, and appeared on an episode of the television show The Dukes of Hazzard as himself. The scene had him playing "Take This Job and Shove It" and arguing with Boss Hogg when the sheriff tried to give him a citation over the content of the song. In 1982, he pled down to a misdemeanor and fine over the sexual assault charge of the minor child.

In December 1985, Paycheck was convicted and sentenced to seven years in jail for shooting a man at the North High Lounge in Hillsboro, Ohio; he fired a .22 pistol and the bullet grazed the man's head. Paycheck claimed the act was self-defense. After several years spent fighting the sentence, he began serving his sentence in 1989, spending 22 months in prison before being pardoned by Ohio Governor Richard Celeste.

The most successful of his later singles, released during his appeal, was "Old Violin", which reached # 21 on the country chart in 1986. His last album to chart was "Modern Times" in 1987. He continued to release albums, the last of which, Remembering, appeared in 2002. In 1990, he filed for bankruptcy after tax problems with the IRS. Although Paycheck was addicted to drugs and alcohol during his career, he later was said to have "put his life in order" after his prison stay. He continued to perform and tour until the late 1990s. Shortly before his retirement, in 1997, he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry; in a rare exception to protocol, Opry general manager Bob Whittaker personally invited Paycheck to join instead of having another member do the invitation.

After 2000, his health would only allow for short appearances. Contracting emphysema and asthma after a lengthy illness, Paycheck died at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2003, aged 64. He was buried in Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Nashville, in a plot donated by George Jones.

Info on Isaiah

━ ★ (  Jade Hassouné, male, he/him/his ) check it out, there’s ISAIAH KHOURY, who’s lived here for TEN YEARS. the TWENTY-EIGHT year old is known to be UPBEAT, CREATIVE, & FRIENDLY but you’ll find that ISAIAH  can also be SPACY, HIGH STRUNG, & BLUNT. i heard he works as a MUSIC TEACHER AT CHAPMAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL and currently resides in NORTHWEST PORTLAND ━ ★ ( tori, 23, EST, she/her/her )

Hello everyone! I’m Tori and here’s a little bit about Isaiah! Please feel free to hit me up on Tumblr IM for plotting purposes, or if you’d rather I also have Skype, Discord, and kik, just ask!

Isaiah grew up in Hillsboro, Oregon. He moved to Portland after high school to go to school at Portland State University. He majored in Music Education and minored in English and Elementary Education.

His family is Lebanese, his great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S after they got married, but they really made an effort to Americanize, so he doesn’t have a ton of ties to his family’s culture outside of the food. It’s something he’s always kind of wanted to learn more about but hasn’t found the time to yet.

He has two younger brothers and an older sister. 

Isaiah always wanted to be a teacher, but he took a year off after graduating from Portland State to travel the Pacific Northwest in a band made up of a bunch of music majors. They didn’t hit it big, but he had a great time. After the tour was over, he returned to Portland and got a job teaching music at Chapman Elementary. 

He has a cat named Rocco. 

He recently quit smoking because he felt like he had to be the best example possible for his kids.
