  • Classical Gas Recordings and Releases Releases of “Classical Gas” by Mason Williams
    MasonMason WilliamsWilliams Full Biography with Awards, Discography, Books & Television Script Writing Releases of Classical Gas Updated February 2005 Page 1 Biography Mason Williams, Grammy Award-winning composer of the instrumental “Classical Gas” and Emmy Award-winning writer for “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” has been a dynamic force in music and television circle since the 1960s. Born in Abilene, Texas in 1938, Williams spent his youth divided between living with his 1938 father in Oklahoma and his mother in Oregon. His interest in music began when, as a teenager, he to 1956 became a fan of pop songs on the radio and sang along with them for his own enjoyment. In high Oklahoma school, he sang in the choir and formed his first group, an a capella quartet that did the 1950’s City style pop and rock & roll music of the era. They called themselves The Imperials and The to L.A. Lamplighters. The other group members were Diana Allen, Irving Faught and Larry War- ren. After Williams was graduated from Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City in 1956, he and his lifelong friend, artist Edward Ruscha, drove to Los Angeles. There, Williams attended Los Angeles City College as a math major, working toward a career as an insurance actuary. But he spent almost as much time attending musical events, especially jazz clubs and concerts, as he did studying. This cultural experience led him to drop math and seek a career in music. Williams moved back to Oklahoma City in 1957 to pursue his interest in music by taking a crash course in piano for the summer.

  • Microphone Theory)
    PART I (Microphone Theory) Harvey Gerst: Ok, you're on. At 64, maybe the best thing I can do with my life is to pass on what I've learned from great people that taught me when I was starting out. I think that's why Al Schmitt, George Massenburg, Ed Cherney, and some of the other really big guns spend so much time on the net. We all owe the guys that came before us a lot, and this is our way of paying them back. And that's the only thing I have in common with all those guys I just mentioned - we all kinda drank from the same well back in the 50s and 60s. I'll try to cover as much ground as I can, to give everybody a good basic understanding of the different mic designs, advantages and disadvantages of each design, how mic polar patterns are created, advantages and disadvantages of each polar pattern, and finally where each type might be used, along with advantages and disadvantages of each usage. How's that for a course outline? This is the frequency response curve of a Neumann TLM-103. Not very flat, is it? Does that mean it's a bad mic? Before we can answer that we hafta know how to read one of these curves and how to interprete it. Okay, let's start this with some interesting history as a prelude to the whole mic discussion. "Why" will become pretty clear by the third or fourth paragraph: In a way, the history of microphones and sound all started with Alexander Graham Bell, and Western Union.

  • Art and Paul
    Art and Paul Song Samples: Art and Paul Radio Sign-up at http://www.radiosubmit.com to download songs for free. Radio: Bill Wence 800-584-5524 [email protected] Art and Paul (Art Podell and Paul Potash) were a highly regarded Greenwich Village folk duo circa 1959-1961 who recorded two albums for Columbia -- "Songs of Earth and Sky" in 1960 and "Hangin', Drinkin, and Stuff" in 1961. Bruce Eder has referred to the first album as a lost classicwith an avid cult following -- which is no exaggeration. Here's some background on Art and Paul: During their years in the Village (usually playing Cafe Wha!), Art and Paul attracted attention (and landed the recording contract with Columbia Records) with their creative arrangements of classic folk songs, which had a defining theatrical flair and occasional splashes of humor. They were good friends with a number of notable folkies back then, including Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey. In fact, when Peter and Noel were mulling over the idea of adding a voice to their duo, Art remembers writing "Mary Travers" on a napkin and passing it across the table to them. Shortly before that happened, Yarrow had given Art and Paul a song for their act that he had just written -- "Puff, the Magic Dragon." One of their performances was recorded in a 1961 college concert in Boulder, Colorado by a local radio station -- well over a year before Peter, Paul and Mary recorded their version. (The recording later surfaced on a number of anthologies released by the old Horizon label, initially on "Hollywood Hootenanny", which is currently available online for download.) As a quick aside, one of their most avid fans in Colorado back then was a young David Crosby.) Before they left Columbia, Mitch Miller was trying to put them on the charts and brought them a song that he felt had hit potential.
