Sandy (novel)

Sandy is the third book written by Alice Hegan Rice, and was the second best-selling novel in the United States in 1905. It was originally published in serial form in The Century Magazine from December 1904 through May 1905, and first appeared in novel form in April 1905.

The novel is based on the boyhood stories of S. S. McClure, publisher of McClure's magazine, and his upbringing in Ireland and early struggles in the United States.

Plot

A contemporary synopsis of the novel's plot describes it as follows:

This is the story of a young Irish boy named Sandy Kilday, who at the age of sixteen, being without home or relatives, decides to try his luck in the new country across the sea. Accordingly, he slips aboard one of the big ocean liners as a stowaway, but is discovered before the voyage is half over and in spite of his entreaties is told he must be returned by the next steamer. Sandy, however, who has a winning way and sunny smile, arouses the interest of the ship's doctor, who pays his passage and gives him some money with which to start his new life. On the voyage Sandy has made friends with a lad in steerage named Ricks Wilson, who earns his living by peddling, and he decides to join him in this career. Sandy has also been deeply impressed by the face of a lovely young girl who is one of the cabin passengers and when he discovers that she is Miss Ruth Nelson of Kentucky he decides to make that state his destination. He and Ricks remain companions for sometime although Sandy's strong sense of honor causes disagreements as to the methods of their dealings. Sandy finally becomes disgusted with this life and after catching a glimpse of Ruth at a circus, where he is dispensing his wares in a humorous manner, he decides to abandon it altogether.

Anytime! (A Live Set)

Anytime! (A Live Set) is a 2004 live acoustic album by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, under the name The Steve Harley Band.

The album consists of eleven live unplugged tracks and a bonus track; "Sophistication" which was a previously unreleased studio recording from 1986. It remains exclusive to the Anytime! album.

For a possible album release, many shows were recorded, but the tracks that ended up forming the Anytime! (A Live Set) album were culled from performances at Huntingdon Hall, Worcester, and The Jazz Café, London, during the summer of 2003.

The album was released on CD in the UK only, through Gott Discs, whilst Pinnacle Records handled the album's distribution within the UK. It was licensed from Comeuppance Ltd. Today the album is available second-hand or from Harley's official website shop on CD and download.

Background

In a Record Collector Interview with Nick Dalton during June 2005, Harley was asked "Has you music changed of late?", and Harley replied "Anytime! is seriously unplugged electro-acoustic. It's similar to original Cockney Rebel – violin, no electric guitar. But I still like playing with my electric band. I'm doing Glastonbury again, headlining the acoustic stage for the first time." The article also used the same photograph of Harley as seen on the album's front cover.

Anytime (album)

Anytime is the third album by Brian McKnight. This was the last record McKnight recorded with Mercury Records before moving to Motown. In fact, Anytime would be re-released on Motown after he signed with the label (as Mercury and Motown at the time were both owned by PolyGram). The single "You Should Be Mine (Don't Waste Your Time)" became his biggest hit in four years, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It featured rapper Mase, whose own career was at its peak during 1997. It broke into the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, and to date is McKnight's highest peaking album on the Top R&B Albums chart where it took the No. 1 position for three weeks. McKnight's track "The Only One for Me" appeared in the sitcom, Sister, Sister, in which McKnight dated Tia (Tia Mowry) and broke up with Tyreke (RonReaco Lee) in the season 6 episode, "The Grass Is Always Greener".

The title track was an even bigger hit, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart in May 1998. The song was not released as a single, and was therefore ineligible to chart on the Hot 100, but was still one of the most played songs on the radio during 1998.
