  • Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area
    Common Birds of the Estero Bay Area Jeremy Beaulieu Lisa Andreano Michael Walgren Introduction The following is a guide to the common birds of the Estero Bay Area. Brief descriptions are provided as well as active months and status listings. Photos are primarily courtesy of Greg Smith. Species are arranged by family according to the Sibley Guide to Birds (2000). Gaviidae Red-throated Loon Gavia stellata Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: A small loon seldom seen far from salt water. In the non-breeding season they have a grey face and red throat. They have a long slender dark bill and white speckling on their dark back. Information: These birds are winter residents to the Central Coast. Wintering Red- throated Loons can gather in large numbers in Morro Bay if food is abundant. They are common on salt water of all depths but frequently forage in shallow bays and estuaries rather than far out at sea. Because their legs are located so far back, loons have difficulty walking on land and are rarely found far from water. Most loons must paddle furiously across the surface of the water before becoming airborne, but these small loons can practically spring directly into the air from land, a useful ability on its artic tundra breeding grounds. Pacific Loon Gavia pacifica Occurrence: Common Active Months: November-April Federal Status: None State/Audubon Status: None Description: The Pacific Loon has a shorter neck than the Red-throated Loon. The bill is very straight and the head is very smoothly rounded.

  • The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 11 LOUIE LOUIE, The Kingsmen Produced by Ken Chase and Jerry Dennon; written by Richard Berry Wand 143 1963 Billboard: #2 Really stupid, really great. Not really dirty, but so what? "Louie Louie" is the most profound and sublime expression of rock and roll's ability to create something from nothing. Built up from a Morse code beat and a "dub duh dub" refrain, with scratchy lead vocal, tacky electric piano, relentless rhythm guitar, and drums that sound like the guy who's playing 'em isn't sure what comes next, "Louie Louie" scales the heights of trash rock to challenge the credentials of all latter-day rockers: If you don't love it, you've missed the point of the whole thing. Naturally, this Parthenon of Pop didn't spring from the head of the Muse. A Muse would probably have slain it on sight, or passed away herself from the shock of something so crude and fine. "Louie Louie" was born in much more prosaic circumstances, as the B side of "You Are My Sunshine," an R&B version of the Jimmie Davis country standard recorded by Richard Berry and the Pharoahs and released on Flip Records in 1956. Berry was a veteran Los Angeles session singer who'd sung lead on the Robins ' "Riot in Cell Block #9," the first big hit for producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The Pharoahs were Berry's cohorts of the day, Flip his patron of the moment. "You Are My Sunshine" made only a small buzz but when L.A.

Contact: [email protected] / Peter Manuel The Saga of a Song: Authorship and Ownership in the Case of ''Guantanamera'' This article constitutes a case study in the interaction between a localized form of music-making that emerged from oral tradition on the periphery of the Euro -American commercial mainstream and the dramatically expanded and globalized commercial music industry of the latter twentieth century. Some such encounters, of course, have resulted in the effective extinction of local traditions. In other cases, however, local genres, songs, or practices have evolved or been absorbed into modern commercial popular ones, in ways that may be at once organic and beset with tensions. Such tensions may be partic ­ ularly overt when songs circulate "schizophonically" on the global music market and generate massive profits for parties other than their cre ­ ators.
