Country Music's Nastiest Breakups
The Boot Staff
The Boot Staff Updated: October 29, 2020
Country artists have a reputation for penning lyrics that tell tough stories, but one of the hardest things that some stars have to go through isn't always covered in the biggest hits: band breakups.
It's never pretty when the relationship between bandmates goes bad. Groups often become as close as family during their careers (occasionally they even really are family), but sometimes, the onstage appearance that everyone is filled with love for each other turns out to be a farce. Brooks & Dunn and Alabama both managed to keep internal tensions out of the public eye for years before their abrupt breakups.
In some cases, being in a band with a relative has ended up ruining the family dynamic offstage, too: The Everly Brothers, for instance, ended their duo in 1973 and were still estranged in 2014, when Phil Everly died; the Louvin Brothers had a similar fate a decade prior.
Check out the photo gallery below to learn the stories behind some of the country genre's worst musical breakups:

Reflections on The Other NFB
A note from visitor Peter Young and his reaction to The Other NFB and the "Bren Gun Girl" Veronica Foster.
I visited the RMG on Sunday to take in The Other NFB, and I'd like to say that it's just a great exhibit. The photographs portray such a wonderful variety of life in Canada over 30 years between 1941 and 1971. I understand it's curated by Dr. Carol Payne from Carleton University who has also authored a comprehensive book "The Official Picture" on this subject, published in 2013.
I have some information for you, along with a few visuals, that I thought you'd enjoy which relate to a selection of the photos.
There were a number of photographs in The Other NFB depicting "Bren Gun Girl" Veronica Foster, very effective shots portraying women's roles in munitions factories in Canada during WWII. Seeing Veronica was so coincidental because I recognized her name, having used a photo of her (not in the exhibit) on the cover of one my books "Let's Dance – A Celebration of Ontario's Dance Halls and Summer Dance Pavilions."
Bren Gun Girl Ronnie Foster with son Thomas 1973
The photograph I used is one of a series taken at the Glen Eagle Country Club on May 10, 1941, where she's dancing with Michael Craig. I obtained it from the National Archives and have included the related info. This is the same date the other shots in the exhibit were taken, and at the same locale. In fact you can see the chandelier and the French door in the background, and there's a juke box in mine.
After a little research, I discovered that Veronica, or "Ronnie" as she seemed to be called, was also a Big Band singer. She performed with the Mart Kenney Orchestra as well as Trump Davidson. Mart's band was known across Canada, doing regular radio broadcasts and performances. He was based in BC but toured the country relentlessly for over 60 years and was heavily involved with raising funds for bonds during WWII as well. Trump Davidson was also one of Canada's best jazz arrangers, composers and band leaders. He led the house band for years at the Palace Pier in Toronto.
Ronnie met her future husband, trombonist George Guerrette who performed with Trump. They had 5 kids and from what I can determine, George passed away and Ronnie moved back to Toronto when her family was rather young. One of her sons, also named George, followed in his Dad's footsteps and has been involved with music for most of his life.
Bren Gun Girl Ronnie Foster
My book "Let's Dance" covers many of the venues in Ontario where people met, socialized, enjoyed entertainment and often formed life-long relationships from the late 1920's up to the early years of rock & roll. You might be interested to know that the Jubilee Pavilion in Oshawa's Lakeview Park, built in 1927, is one of the few original dance pavilions remaining in the Province. It successfully made the transition from Big Band to Rock music under the management of Owen McCrohan – affectionately known as "Onie McCronie" around town – who ran the place for 50 years!
I thought you'd like to read this "story behind the photo." It's always interesting to learn more about subjects in photos that captured a moment in time.
Bren Gun Girl Ronnie Foster in Chester NS 1999
During the 1960's and 1970's Peter Young used to work in a number of rock and roll bands, playing in many of the dance halls and summer dance pavilions throughout the province. Most of these venues have disappeared over the years.
He has written three books about this subject, the most recent one is "Let's Dance," published by Dundurn. Writing the books has been part of Peter's interest in nostalgia and pop culture. He researches destinations where people went for their entertainment and to socialize, including small town movie theatres, drive-in movie theatres, older diners and other aspects of life from the post-war era, particularly places which have survived and continue to operate. Peter runs his own business, PDA Communications Ltd in Oshawa, where he works as a freelance writer.

Reforming Regulations of Communications: How the Fairness Doctrine Is Affected
The Fairness Doctrine is an often misunderstood piece of legislation. It came from the 1927 Radio Act, in which Congress dictated that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should only give broadcasting licenses when doing so served the public interest. In 1949, the FCC revisited this legislation and interpreted it to mean that licensees should include discussions of matters of public importance in their broadcasts, and that they should do so in a fair manner.
It issued a revised set of standards which included the Fairness Doctrine. The new regulations required that all television and radio shows holding FCC-issued broadcasts licenses had to devote some time on their show to controversial issues of public importance and that each side of the debate should be presented.. This meant shows had to determine what the spectrum of views were on issues, and who could best present the views to the audience. The Fairness Doctrine required broadcasters to alert anyone who would be personally attacked on their program, and allow them a time to respond. It also made sure that if broadcasters endorsed a political candidate, they would have the opposing candidate on to have a chance to make their case.
These regulations were born out of the circumstances of the time. In 1949, legislators were concerned that the three major companies of the time, NBC, ABC, and CBS, would misuse their stranglehold on TV broadcasting to influence public opinion. The companies didn't have major competitors, and unlike today, there was not an open Internet where information was easily accessible. So the Fairness Doctrine was born out of a proactive necessity in a way. Legislators decided to get ahead of the potential problem of the broadcasters using their competitive advantage to present biased news, correctly discerning that competition for airtime was not immediately forthcoming. The Fairness Doctrine was challenged in court on the grounds it violated the First Amendment, but the Supreme Court in the 1969 case Red Lion Broadcasting v FCC ruled that it was constitutional, when channels were limited.
Years later, in the Supreme Court's 1984 decision on FCC v. League of Women Voters of California, the justices wrote "were it to be shown by the [FCC] that the fairness doctrine '[has] the net effect of reducing rather than enhancing' speech, we would then be forced to reconsider the constitutional basis of our decision in that case (Red Lion)." So even though the court did not rule on constitutionality of the Fairness Doctrine following FCC v. League of Women Voters of California, the text in their decision shows they would be open to hearing cases about it again, provided new circumstances.
In 1987, the Reagan administration abolished the Fairness Doctrine. The FCC Commissioner at the time, Dennis Patrick, claimed that due to an increase in the amount of media voices in the market that the Fairness Doctrine was unconstitutional. He argued it restricted free speech by dictating how the media had to cover the news, and it was no longer necessary since competitors to the major three networks now existed. Reagan supported this view, arguing that the best way to avoid a biased media was to allow for competition among broadcasters and not via government regulation.
Now, as President Trump attempts to reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, the Fairness Doctrine might be revived. On May 28 of 2020, Trump issued an executive order which called on the Department of Justice to "assess whether any online platforms are problematic vehicles for government speech due to viewpoint discrimination." Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has attempted to pass legislation similar to the executive order which would have the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) validate if big tech companies use algorithms and content-removal practices that are "politically neutral" and do not discriminate against conservatives. He has likely made it a FTC issue since the FTC has broad powers over consumer protections, and current FCC chairman Ajit Pai has made it clear he doesn't wish to enforce regulations or go after large companies.
Both President Trump and Senator Hawley have been critics of social media companies, claiming sites like Twitter and Facebook unfairly remove conservative content, while liberals have argued that conservatives actually get more leeway to post what they want since they drive interaction. So creating an Internet-age Fairness Doctrine could be a middle ground for politicians, even though it might logistically be a nightmare for social media companies if they have to begin to regulate content to ensure all viewpoints get some sort of equal exposure. However, it could be argued that these actions are unconstitutional, since they would be the government requiring private entities to abridge their speech. Plus, the Fairness Doctrine in the 1950s and 1960s largely survived due to the Supreme Court viewing it necessary due to a lack of channels and access to information. For all the faults of the Internet, lack of access to different points of view is not one of its flaws.
The Fairness Doctrine is also a favorite policy of the left. Many Democrats, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry have been open to the idea of reinstating the Fairness Doctrine. They lament the rise of Fox News and conservative talk radio and have often posited that the Fairness Doctrine would have served as a counterbalance to the outward bias such platforms have towards the Republican Party. However, President Clinton and President Obama did little to strengthen the Fairness Doctrine. President Clinton in fact signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996. This allows for media-cross ownership, allowing for single media companies to own multiple media outlets, something Democrats now criticize. And there has been little traction in Congress on the issue despite lots of talk. Vice President Joe Biden's view on the Fairness Doctrine is unknown publicly.
However, it is unlikely that the Fairness Doctrine would have stopped the rise of Fox News and the right-wing media bubble. With the explosion in the amount of new broadcasters, around 1,300 TV stations in 1987 and 10,000 radio stations, it's unlikely the Fairness Doctrine would have survived an inevitable challenge in the courts. There was a growing consensus among conservatives that the Fairness Doctrine was unconstitutional, which built its way up to the FCC commissioner before the Supreme Court had to weigh in, though the Court had previously signaled it was willing to revisit the Fairness Doctrine if the FCC did not.
It is unlikely we see the Fairness Doctrine get re-introduced anytime soon, at least not in its original conception. However, it is possible with the spread of disinformation on social media and the lack of regulation around social media companies that the Fairness Doctrine can provide some sort of blueprint for future regulation. This could be especially true if Democrats take control of the Senate and presidency and are allowed to appoint an FCC or FTC chairman who will take a more hardline stance against Facebook and Twitter. Forcing social media companies like those two to take down misinformation could be the first step towards a more regulated internet, and probably easier to enforce logistically than forcing them to take the complicated steps of changing their algorithms.

New Windsor Connect / Town Press Releases
Town of New Windsor Press Releases
Please find and view the most up to date news and information regarding the Town of New Windsor listed below.
New Windsor Police Chief Graduates Prestigious FBI National Academy
September 24, 2019 By Patrick Mangan Police Department 0
The Town of New Windsor Police Department is proud to announce that Chief Robert L. Doss has recently graduated from the 277th Session of the prestigious FBI National Academy. The 277th Session of the National Academy consisted of 256 men and women from all 50 states and 35 different countries.
The FBI National Academy is our nation's premier law enforcement leadership training institution that less than 1 percent of all Law Enforcement Officers in the United States ever get invited to attend. The National Academy is held at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico Virginia, the same facility where the FBI trains its new special agents and intelligence analysts.
The 10-week National Academy program provides coursework in intelligence theory, terrorism and terrorist mindsets, management science, law, behavioral science, law enforcement communication, and forensic science. It serves to improve the administration of justice in police departments and agencies at home and abroad and to raise law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation worldwide. National Academy students earn undergraduate and graduate credits from the University of Virginia, which accredits many of the courses offered.
While FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered the keynote remarks at the graduation ceremony, FBI Academy instructors, special agents and other staff with advanced degrees provide the training.
Chief Doss is a 22-year member of the New Windsor Police Department who worked his way up through the ranks to become Chief of Police in 2018.
****Pictured in the photo is FBI Director Christopher Wray (L) and Chief Robert Doss (R)****
Two New Windsor Police Officers Complete Drug Recognition Expert Training
The Town of New Windsor Police Department announces the graduation of 2 Police Officers who tried out for and were accepted into the Drug Recognition Expert training. Completion of this highly competitive and lengthy 3 week course puts New Windsor at the forefront of combating driving while under the influence of drugs.
Police Chief Robert Doss stated, "I am very proud of Officer Sussman and Officer Weed's successful completion of the very challenging and difficult Drug Recognition Expert program. The deployment of these Officer's with their knowledge, skill and expertise in the area of drugged driving detection will certainly increase the overall safety of the motorists traveling throughout the Town of New Windsor. The Police Department remains committed to keeping the roadways safe for everyone. We had 75 Driving While Intoxicated arrests in 2018 and we anticipate the numbers of impaired drivers on the roads to increase dramatically in the upcoming years because Governor Cuomo has committed to moving forward with his agenda of legalizing marihuana. The New Windsor Police Department intends to stay ahead of this problem and that is why we now employ 2 of the 7 DRE trained Police Officers in all of Orange County."
New Windsor Police install new pole mounted speed limit sign
Town Police & Highway Department members were on Dean Hill Road recently to talk to some area residents about the installation of a new pole mounted electronic speed limit sign. Town residents Sabrina Oliveri and Kevin Shader had written a letter to the Town about their concerns of speeding cars on Dean Hill Road and requested a sign of this type be installed to help slow vehicles down.
Electronic speed limit signs of this type are portable and are used to alert motorists of their speed if they are traveling above the posted limit. The Police Department determined that Dean Hill Road would be a suitable location for the sign to be displayed. The Highway Department installed the sign post and the sign last week.
New Windsor Police Chief Robert Doss stated, "I think this is an excellent example of how we all can work together to get things done. Traffic safety in the town is extremely important to us and getting cars to slow down in residential areas like Dean Hill Road is a priority. Motorists have to realize that there are people walking their dogs, people exercising and kids playing in these areas and they need to be aware of their speed and slow down for everyone's safety."
If you know of a road that you think would benefit from the installation of one of the signs, please contact Sgt. William Ruger. He can be contacted at (845) 565-7000 or at [email protected]
The Police Department recently obtained two of these electronic speed signs using grant funding from The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. This grant is federally funded and is used for criminal justice programs at the state and local levels. The signs are portable and can be easily moved from location to location depending on need.
Pictured in the photos are (L to R): NW Highway Superintendent Anthony Fayo, Kevin Shader, Sabrina Oliveri, Sgt William Ruger, Police Chief Robert Doss, Mrs. Byron, Mr. Vernon Byron.

During the January Town Board Meeting, the Town Board called for a public hearing to discuss a proposed Local Law that would impose a temporary moratorium on all development approvals in the Town of New Windsor. If approved by the Town Board after the public hearing, which is scheduled for February 5, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. in Town Hall at 555 Union Ave., New Windsor, NY, this Local Law would enact a minimum three (3) month moratorium.
The temporary moratorium being proposed is designed to give Supervisor Meyers and the Town Board sufficient time to further study and explore what are believed to be significant issues concerning the Town's ability to meet demands for its current and future sewer and water customers, as well as concerns about traffic and over-development in general. Decisions as to how to proceed beyond this three month period will be made during this time, with further action to be taken by the Town Board, as deemed necessary.
Please note, there are a number of exceptions to the temporary moratorium, which are outlined in the proposed Local Law.
The full context of proposed Local Law #1-2020 can be found below.
Town Supervisor Meyers has contacted Verizon regarding their ability to provide Fios service to New Windsor residents.
Throughout the month of January Supervisor Meyers' office has been in touch with the Verizon Director of State Government Affairs, and also the director directly responsible for the Mid-Hudson and Westchester area for Verizon. Both explained that Verizon's current position is fulfilling their existing signed franchise agreements with other towns, cities and villages. Verizon is not entertaining or committing to any new franchise agreements at this time.
Verizon has agreed to monitor the town's request. Verizon and the Town will revisit this issue in six months to see if Verizon's position has changed.

The EV Rider MiniRider is a compact folding mobility scooter that's ideal for indoor and outdoor use.
It can easily maneuver narrow corridors, making it more than ideal for those living in apartments and bungalows, and it can also be easily folded up and put into a car or on a plane.
The folding Minirider has a removable battery pack which allows you to charge the scooter wherever you like (i.e., leave it in the vehicle or bring it inside), and with the puncture-proof tires, you'll never worry about getting a flat tire again!
This mobility powered scooter comes with an automatic braking system, an easy pull throttle, a key ignition and a battery gauge.


Most the articles are explained in plain & understandable language. A lot of the articles are short too. Some articles are lengthy, but that's because of the subject matter.
Notes: When using reflectors outside, it is usually for the purpose of using Natural light rather then flash, which can often end up looking harsh on a subjects face. Usually you will position your subject with the Sun behind them. I recommend putting the Sun at a slight angle behind your subject. If you don't hide the Sun behind the subject you will have to avoid having the Sun shine directly into your lens.
If you want to pursue learning more from the many other excellent Photography techniques articles, they can be found at the Digital Photography School website.
As you can see, the other color reflectors are usually held together with Velcro. This & other similar kits usually include a diffuser.
Sometimes you may need some different size clamps to hold a reflector. I bought some at Home Depot. I have two sizes. They generally run $1.00 to $2.00 each, or you might save money per clamp if you buy a multiple set in a package.
There are a wide variety of Diffusers each with a specific purpose. Some diffusers attach to your flash, and others are hand or stand held. You might see diffusers in Portrait Studios as covers for the light fixtures. Those generally are used to color correct fluorescent lights.
These will usually help eliminate harsh shadows when the subject is close to a wall. If they are standing in front of a window, you should position yourself to a slight angle as even when using any type of diffuser will most often result in a bright hot spot on the glass.
There are even a few small diffusers now for cameras that have a pop-up flash. They sit in the opening between the camera & the flash. The one shown at this website swivels too.
Regarding the use of hand or stand held collapsible diffusers; their main use is usually in getting diffused light in people portraits (usually a close up of a face or faces), flower/insect and other close-up pictures.
These can be used in tandem with a reflector as shown in this diagram above.
If any of you have any questions, or would like to have me write about a specific subject, please let me know.
