Ole Miss at Oxford: A Part of Our Heart and Soul

The Grove. The Square. Hotty Toddy. Taylor Grocery. Red and Blue. Square Books. These are words that are evocative of a specific place and feeling--Ole Miss at Oxford. And in this new book by William H. Morris, Jr., we have photographs that will stir memories of lazy afternoons in the Grove or strolling in the Square and will stimulate the senses with the action of the football games played in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and the bustling Oxford milieu. Ole Miss at Oxford: A Part of Our Heart and Soul is a collection of approximately 300 beautiful photographs spanning twenty years of life at Ole Miss and in Oxford. Through this book, Bill takes us on a wonderful meandering path through the graceful town of Oxford, home to many true literary greats, one of the oldest department stores in the U.S., and one of the nation s greatest bookstores. We journey to the Grove for gatherings of food, fun, and fellowship before the big game, and they are all big games. The excitement is almost tangible as the players burst onto the field before crowds of enthusiastic fans ready to see the Rebels perform amazing football feats. Then, it s back to the Grove for celebrations that are heightened or commiserations that are lessened by the sharing of them with family and friends. We travel back to town and encounter parades, festivals, and nightlife. These photographs become a record and provide a means for us to see people and places that are no longer, because Bill Morris took the time to see and to photograph. Bill Morris has captured the essence of this very special place in the spectacular photographs included in this book to be shared by all. This book is a true Welcome to Ole Miss and Oxford, as a banner over Neilson s reads in a photograph early in the book. So open the book and begin your journey.

This Magic Moment: My Journey of Faith, Friends, and the Father's Love

by William H. Morris

This is the remarkable true story of a white Mississippi businessman with a lifelong passion for R&B/Doo-Wop music, who in a "Magic Moment" encounter with one of his favorite groups, discovers his talent for singing this style of music. He also discovered that his passion for music held a higher purpose, one that led to a three-decade, deep friendship with Prentiss Barnes and Harvey Fuqua of The Moonglows, Bill Pinkney of The Original Drifters and Rufus McKay of the Red Tops and the Ink Spots that blessed and enriched all of their lives. Bill writes lovingly about his divinely inspired experiences that included producing two Gospel CDs for The Original Drifters and performing onstage at Boston Symphony Hall with The Moonglows at the Doo Wop Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, all while building a highly-successful insurance firm.

The real strength of this book lies in the deep chemistry that existed between Bill and each of these singers. When people of different backgrounds and races come together with the love given from above, miraculous things are possible. The message of this book is one people especially need to hear today. The book also contains 135 behind-the-scenes color photos of some of R&B and Rock and Roll's most iconic performers.

Includes many photos of legendary performers and events.
