  • Harvey Kubernik's End of the Year Interview with Travis Edward Pike
    What’s New at Otherworld Cottage? HK: Thank you for that, but I was referring to the IMDb links you’ve provided whenever you cite your movie industry Harvey Kubernik’s End of the Year colleagues. Interview with Travis Edward Pike TP: Naming them just wasn’t enough. Your recent article, “The Wrecking Crew,” about the studio musicians who actually played the tracks for some of the most popular recordings of our times, and until your cover story in Record Collector News, were essentially unknown, is indicative of how much of our entertainment industry is, like an iceberg, hidden below the surface. I’ve worked with, and been mentored by some extraordinary motion picture professionals, whose work is widely recognized as outstanding, but who are, themselves, unknown to the general public. People are dazzled by the final results, but rarely know much about the talents who make it all possible. My department heads and mentors included line producer Britt Lomond; (co-producer on Sword of Heaven and Crystalstone, UPM on Somewhere in Time, 1st AD on Purple Rain, and 2nd Unit Director on Midnight Run). George Costello was Britt’s production designer on Crystalstone, but he was also the art director for The Terminator, and The Sword and the Sorcerer. You knew that in 2014, Director of Photography and Visual Effects SupervisorPeter Anderson, received the Gordon E. Sawyer Special Oscar “For Technical Contributions that have brought Credit to the Industry.” I first met him in 1982 at Disney Studios, when I was working on Betsy Baytos’ production of the Betsy and Thumper promotion for the re-release of Bambi.

  • Brewer and Shipley Living 'One Toke Over the Line' in the Ozarks
    December 23, 1998, Wednesday BYLINE: By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press DATELINE: SPRINGFIELD, Mo. Brewer and Shipley living ‘one toke over the line’ in the Ozarks The oddest thing about it, Michael Brewer says a quarter-century later, is that he and Tom Shipley never set out to create any icon to high culture when they wrote “One Toke Over the Line.” “We had been songwriters for so long that it was just another song for us,” Brewer says from his Ozark Mountain home before packing up for a day of fishing at Table Rock Lake. “It wasn’t even one of our favorites,” he adds a minute later. “We always thought our ballads were our better songs.” But in early 1971, a nation of young baby boomers started singing along with the lyrics. The refrain, which seemed to be repeated endlessly, was impossible to forget: “One toke over the line, sweet Jesus, one toke over the line. Sittin’ downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line.” There was talk of banning the song from radio play because some people thought Brewer and Shipley were two hippies singing about smoking marijuana. Vice President Spiro Agnew “came down on it as a drug song,” Brewer recalls. Some listeners misunderstood the lyrics as “One toe over the line.” Others wondered what all the fuss was all about. The song was created out of boredom, Brewer says. He and Shipley were passing the time one night in Kansas City by singing the words back and forth to each other until a song evolved.

  • ANNEXURE Credo Theory of Music Training Programme GRADE 5 by S
    - 1 - ANNEXURE Credo Theory of Music training programme GRADE 5 By S. J. Cloete Copyright reserved © 2017 BLUES (JAZZ). (Unisa learners only) WHAT IS THE BLUES? The Blues is a musical genre* originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the USA around the end of the 19th century. The genre developed from roots in African musical traditions, African-American work songs, spirituals and folk music. The first appearance of the Blues is often dated to after the ending of slavery in America. The slavery was a sad time in history and this melancholic sound is heard in Blues music. The Blues, ubiquitous in jazz and rock ‘n’ roll music, is characterized by the call-and- response* pattern, the blues scale (which you are about to learn) and specific chord progressions*, of which the twelve-bar blues* is the most common. Blue notes*, usually 3rds or 5ths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. A swing* rhythm and walking bass* are commonly used in blues, country music, jazz, etc. * Musical genre: It is a conventional category that identifies some music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions, e.g. the blues, or classical music or opera, etc. They share a certain “basic musical language”. * Call-and-response pattern: It is a succession of two distinct phrases, usually played by different musicians (groups), where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or response to the first. It can be traced back to African music. * Chord progressions: The blues follows a certain chord progression and the th th 7 b harmonic 7 (blues 7 ) is used much of the time (e.g.

  • Playlist in 1969, Yale University Admitted Its First Women Undergraduates, Thus Ending 268 Years As an All-Male College
    YALE NEEDS WOMEN Playlist In 1969, Yale University admitted its first women undergraduates, thus ending 268 years as an all-male college. Yale Needs Women (Sourcebooks, 2019) tells their story. Here is the playlist to go with it: 22 songs released between 1969 and 1972, plus a two-song prelude from 1967. A quick scan will show that male performers outnumber women on this playlist, perhaps an odd choice given the Yale Needs Women title. It’s a reflection of the times, however. The music industry needed women too. You can find this playlist on Spotify. Search anne.g.perkins, or use this link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4aXLc1veNkKCMqCWd0biKE To find out more about Yale Needs Women and the first women undergraduates at Yale, go to yaleneedswomen.com. Many thanks to Rick High, Lily and Mac Perkins-High, and David and Ginger Kendall for their help in creating this playlist. Sources for the liner notes below are at the end. PRELUDE: 1967 1. Aretha Franklin, RESPECT. Aretha Franklin was the first woman ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and “Respect” was her first song to hit #1. She was twenty-five years old, six years into an abusive marriage that she would end in 1969, a black woman in a nation where that status meant double discrimination. “All I’m askin’ is for a little respect.” 2. Country Joe and The Fish, I-FEEL-LIKE-I’M-FIXIN’-TO-DIE RAG. Released in November 1967, the I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag became one of the country’s most popular Vietnam War protest songs, particularly after its performance at Woodstock in August 1969.

  • Muscle Shoals Sound Records
    WHO'S WHO AT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND RECORDS 1000 Alabama Avenue, P.O. Box 915, Sheffield, Ala. 35660 (205) 381-9200 Muscle Shoals Sound Records was more or less the natural extension of what had become one of the most successful production organizations in the business. The four principals of the production company, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Beckett, David Hood and Roger Hawkins made up what became the legendary "Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section". Jimmy and Roger met while playing in local bands at school dances and clubs along the state line. They were later members of an early 60's group called the Delrays. At the same time David Hood was playing in a group called the Mystics. Johnson was the first to move into studio work when he began working with producer Rick Hall as an engineer and their session guitarist. By 1964 Jimmy and Roger were working regularly at Fame Studios with the occasional assistance of David Hood, when Hood could get away from his father's tire store a block and a half away from the studio. In 1966 Hawkins and Johnson played on their first million seller, "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge. In 1967 Barry Beckett came to Muscle Shoals to cut "I'm Your Puppet" by James and Bobby Purify. It was about that time that Spooner Oldham, the Muscle Shoals keyboard player, decided to move to Mem- phis. Shortly thereafter, Barry Becket and his family came to Muscle Shoals and the Rhythm Section was formed. By the late 1960's there were 3 studios in Muscle Shoals and the Rhythm Section was working at all of them.
