The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.

BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.

The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.

Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"

In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.

Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.

The UA Archive Ensemble will feature a concert accompanying the 1955 film "Teenage Devil Dolls"
Crowder Hall, UA School of Music Building
1017 N. Olive Road
Info: Under the direction of Keith Pawlak, ensemble will be behind the screen performing Robert Drasnin’s score to the film “Teenage Devil Dolls.” The performance will also feature narration by the School of Theatre Arts faculty artist Monte Ralstin. Following the concert will be a discussion with the composer. FOR ONLINE ONLY: The 60-minute feature was a 1956 "Look Magazine" intercollegiate award winner for best college-made film of the year. It was written, produced and directed by Bamlet L. Price, Jr., for a master’s thesis at U.C.L.A. in 1955. Price, who also acted in the film, hired a fellow graduate student, Robert Drasnin, to write the score to the picture. The score is being presented for the first time from manuscripts housed in the UA School of Music’s jazz and popular music archive. "Teenage Devil Dolls" tells the story of a young girl whose life spirals out-of-control through drug-induced juvenile delinquency. The plot follows in the path of the exploitation films of the 1930s and 1940s – most notably via parallels to the marijuana classic "Reefer Madness." The film, which was originally released as "One Way Ticket to Hell," was re- titled for home video and late-night TV viewing in the 1980s. The UA School of Music’s jazz and popular music archive holds several prominent American music collections, including Artie Shaw, Les Baxter, Nelson Riddle, Paul Horn, Robert Drasnin, Paul Weston and Jo Stafford.
