' ' But Horace was a man of great literary modesty, and always undervalued his own efforts.

  • December People Band Biographies
    December People Band Biographies Robert Berry: Robert Berry was born into a musical family. His father had a dance band that travelled the ballroom circuit in the late 40's and 50's, where his mother was the featured vocalist. When Berry was born his father opened a music store. There, through the busy store’s affiliation with Vox guitars and amps - the brand the Beatles used, Robert was introduced to many of the local musicians. Local hit makers like the Count Five, Syndicate of Sound, Harper’s Bizarre and others often frequented the store. Berry began studying piano in earnest at 6 years old and by age 12 was recruited to join his first rock band with 4 older high school seniors. He continued classical and jazz studies before entering San Jose State University, as a music major. Berry first gained international attention with San Francisco based Hush, and headed to the UK to play in GTR along with Steve Howe of Yes fame, and then achieved a top ten charting single and toured with 3, his partnership with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer. Before launching December People, Robert played with Sammy Hagar and toured with Ambrosia. When not touring with December People Robert is the bass player with the Greg Kihn Band. Gary Pihl: Raised in the suburbs of Chicago for the first 12 years of his life, Gary Pihl relocated to the San Francisco Bay area. Gary had his recording debut at age 19 with Day Blindness. He says, “After my time in Day Blindness, I was in a band called Fox with Roy Garcia and Johnny V (Vernazza), who went on to play in Elvin Bishop’s band.

  • Report Case Study 25
    RCEWA Case 11 (2014-15): The Thomas Walpole Archive Expert adviser’s statement Reviewing Committee Secretary’s note: Please note that any illustrations referred to have not been reproduced on the Arts Council England website EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of item(s) Papers of Thomas Walpole (1727-1803), MP and banker, with some later Walpole family papers Comprises about 700 letters with some related papers Contained within 1 bound volume and 7 archive boxes [see photo] The papers were created by Thomas Walpole and his descendants. The archive dates from the mid-18th century to the early-20th century, about 70% relating to Thomas Walpole and dating from the 1760s to the 1790s, forming the core of the archive The archive is generally in good condition, with some minor age and dust staining. The bound volume, an album of important letters, has been attacked by mice in the past. However, they have only eaten the edges of album pages, and have not damaged the original documents bound into the album. 2. Context Provenance: The archive was inherited by Spencer Horatio Walpole (1806-1898) from his father Thomas Walpole the younger (to whom some eighty-nine letters are here addressed); thence by descent to the present owner. The papers have not, as far as I am aware, been extensively used for research, having been in private hands. There are one or two references to them in the article on Thomas Walpole in the History of Parliament (available online at http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/). 3. Waverley criteria Meets Waverley 3 The papers are of outstanding national importance for the history of the 18th century DETAILED CASE 1.

  • The Published Music of Keith Emerson: Expanding the Solo Piano
    THE PUBLISHED MUSIC OF KEITH EMERSON: EXPANDING THE SOLO PIANO REPERTOIRE by GIUSEPPE LUPIS (Under the Direction of Richard Zimdars) ABSTRACT The study examines the published music of Keith Emerson (b.1944) and includes solo piano transcriptions of thirteen of his compositions. Emerson’s music was published on three continents over a period of thirty years (1975-2005). Because almost all of it is currently out of print, a need exists for a cataloguing and a rediscovery of his music. The work is in five chapters. The first, a short biography, examines Emerson as a composer. The second addresses the importance of Emerson’s music. The third covers the sources of Emerson’s published compositions and a performance and recording history of Emerson’s music performed by pianists other than the composer. The fourth chapter surveys thirteen compositions which appear as solo piano transcriptions in the fifth chapter. INDEX WORDS: Keith Emerson, Dissertation, Published Music, Rock history, Transcriptions, Solo piano repertoire, ELP, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibition THE PUBLISHED MUSIC OF KEITH EMERSON: EXPANDING THE SOLO PIANO REPERTOIRE by GIUSEPPE LUPIS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2006 © 2006 Giuseppe Lupis All Rights Reserved.

STUART SMITH CD IS OUT The Stuart Smith CD "Heaven and Earth" CD featuring Glenn Hughes on a cover of an old blues track, "See that My Grave Is Kept Clean" is out now. The deal is with Samsung in Korea where this initial release is from but Smith and his team is working on a licensing deal in other parts of the world. I like the album a lot and it contains a lot of good old classic rock/AOR/melodic rock type of stuff but also folk influences and even som classical bits. A very consistent album with a strong quality throughout and the "guest list" is quite impressing: Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Richie Sambora, Kelly Hansen, Howard Leese, Steve Priest, Ricky Phillips and many many more.
