The city of Kearney was founded in 1871 under the name Kearney Junction. Rev. D.N. Smith and Moses S. Sydenham were tasked with the job of choosing a townsite. In 1873; after much debate; the small railroad stop was named Kearney. Over the years; the town continued to grow; it really began to boom in 1886; when the Frank family completed construction on an electric power plant; ushering in an unprecedented era of construction and business in the small town. By 1889; over 700 homes had been built in the area. The allure of commerce and real estate drew many investors from the East to Kearney; where they developed neighborhoods filled with impressive mansions. Today; these homes stand as landmarks and testimonies to the historic figures who built Kearney from the ground up.

For heavens sake; dont get the kindle version of this 14-year-old book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Getting startedBy Charles MurrayThis is a good book/CD for beginners and intermediate hand drummers. Dworsky Sansby do well at the impossible task of turning writing into rhythm; but the CD really teaches the groove. You will probably still need a live teacher to show the difference between a slap and a tone; but the book gives several good lessons you can review over and over.It will definitely give you something to play at you local drum circles.Chuck Murray8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy BarbwiredI bought this book and CD and also the DVD Gentle Djembe for beginners. I didnt like the book and CD. The instruction in the book is good but the CD is only useful if you can separate the left and right sounds to hear each part of a rhythm. It is designed for using the CD on a stereo player that can control each part independently. Neither my CD/DVD player; or an iPod has this capability. It would have been more useful if the author had played each part separately so that you could hear them individually. i dont think I would recommend this book/cd to anyone.
