Through the Mill,Wisdom of Music Mentors The Roots Report: Starry-Eyed for Ringo Ringo Starr & His All Star Band comes to PPAC for a nostalgic night of classics Okee dokee folks … To my knowledge, a Beatle has only come to Rhode Island three times since the British Invasion of the ’60s (George, once and Ringo, now twice). I have been fortunate enough to be in the audience two out of those three times! Ringo and his All-Starr Band played to a sold-out house at PPAC on Sunday, June 15. The All-Starr Band is basically the greatest cover band of all time. Ringo lines up notable performers and they play a fun-filled set of songs by Ringo, The Beatles, classic covers, and each of the band members play a few of their own hit songs as well. This, the12th incarnation of the All-Starr Band in 25 years, included Todd Rundgren (guitar), Greg Rolie of Santana and Journey (organ), Steve Lukather of Toto (lead guitar), Richard Paige of Mr. Mister (bass), Greg Bissonette of David Lee Roth Band (drums), and Mark Rivera on vocals, sax, keys and percussion. The evening kicked off with Ringo singing his version of the Carl Perkins’ song, “Matchbox.” He then went straight into his signature song, “It Don’t Come Easy.” A little self- deprecation was used in the intro for the next song: “This is Wings, it is from my 2012 release that I think two people bought!” Finally, for the fourth song of the evening, Ringo ascended the elevated, center stage platform to play the drums and the “song rounds” began. Starting with Rundgren, the band members each took a turn performing one of their hits. The two-hour show included such classics as: “I Saw The Light,” “Bang The Drum All Day” and “Love is the Answer” from Todd Rundgren; “Kyrie” and “Broken Wings” from Mr. Mister; “Hold The Line,” “Rosanna” and “Africa” from Toto; and “Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen” by Santana. This was a fun show for ALL ages. It couldn’t be anything BUT fun. Most times the audience was singing along with the band. How can you hear “Yellow Submarine,” “Photograph” and “A Little Help From My Friends” and NOT sing? Ringo commented as the band started playing “Yellow Submarine,” “If you don’t know this one you are in the wrong venue!” The lighting was fun as well-projected spinning stars, peace signs and flowers kept the back wall busy. Besides Ringo, Rundgren seemed to be having the best time in the band. He has a long history in music and is a veteran of the All-Starr Band, having been part of it in at least two other versions. Greg Rolie was a fine addition to the group mostly because of his membership in the legendary group Santana. His vocals were strong and his contribution on the B3 organ was subtle but tasteful. To me, Richard Paige and Steve Lukather seemed like odd choices for an All-Starr line-up. While Toto certainly had hit songs and Lukather is a great guitarist, he didn’t really have the “STARR POWER” of previous members of the band. He often started singing a song and handed the higher parts to Paige or Mark Rivera to handle. Lukather did channel his best Santana solos during “Evil Ways,” “Oye Como Va” and “Black Magic Woman.” His contributions to the night, “Rosanna” and “Africa,” seemed to drag on longer than needed, though “Hold The Line” held its own. I think of Richard Paige and Mr. Mister as more one-hit-wonders than legendary. OK, MAYBE they had a hit and a half. It was back in the hey-day of MTV. “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie” seemed very dated in sound compared to the rest of the night’s numbers. I do think one of his song choices of the evening, “You Are Mine,” a new song he was debuting, was out of place in the show. While the piece was enjoyable, it didn’t seem a proper fit for anyone but Ringo to play new material. As band members, Paige and Lukather are both solid players, but just seemed out of their league. If you ask most people who their favorite Beatle was, most would reply Paul or John. Ringo would usually hold up the bottom of that list. Not mine. Ringo hovers around third/maybe second. I am scorned when I say that my ranking is George, Ringo/Paul then John. I vacillate on Paul because I liked Wings. Ringo may not be the best musician or the most popular Beatle, but he is truly a great entertainer. At 74 years old he can play a two-hour show and he still has the energy to literally do jumping jacks during the last song. It is obvious from his presence on stage that he sincerely loves what he does. He is even comfortable messing up a song — which he did! He started playing “Don’t Pass Me By” on piano and botched it a bit and then went on to just singing it. Planned or not, he showed that a Beatle is human. He seems to have his hands fixed in a permanent peace sign when they are not otherwise occupied. He is a purveyor of peace and love. One of the newer songs he performed, “Anthem,” delivered that message. He wrapped up the evening singing a portion of John Lennon’s (Plastic Ono Band) “Give Peace A Chance.” He ran offstage as the band played on and then took their bows without Ringo. Surely he was already on his way to the hotel. While McCartney may sell out stadiums, I would rather see Ringo in a venue such as PPAC. The sound was not too loud and relatively clear, though at times the vocals did seem a bit buried behind the music. But that may just be me; I am super picky about that. Just about every seat at PPAC has a good view of the stage. You don’t have to watch or are distracted by a Jumbotron. Having those at stadium shows is great, but you can always stay home and watch TV. I don’t think attending a show at a stadium or arena can even compare to a show in a more intimate and comfortable setting such as PPAC. For me, Ringo is the obvious choice to see when it comes to a Beatle. I think that having the opportunity to see any Beatle live is something that is hard to pass up. Every real music fan should see one. There are only two left and they are getting old, so hurry. If you weren’t at PPAC for this show you missed out on a great one! The standing ovation from the audience will attest to that. Ringo certainly does get by with a little help from his friends … his famous and talented friends! That’s it for now. Thanks for reading! John Fuzek, johnfuzek.com Album Of The Week: Cretin Stompers’ Looking Forward To Being Attacked A great underground punk jewel, you might have to rummage through your local record store to get a physical copy, but once you listen to Looking Forward To Being Attacked the search will be all worth it. Have you ever heard an album that is so weird and creepy sounding that it’s absolutely brilliant? There’s a cool shoegaze punk act called Cretin Stompers out of Memphis and I recently stumbled upon their debut album, Looking Forward To Being Attacked. Billy Hayes, Big Muff and Alex Gates have joined forces to start a band that sounds like a combination of My Bloody Valentine and The Sex Pistols. It’s one of the most inventive musical projects I’ve heard in a long time. With Hayes’ resume consisting of playing with the late Jay Reatard and Gates being the guitarist of San Diego surf punk act Wavves, you shouldn’t expect anything less than a mind-blowing album. Good thing Cretin Stompers’ debut lives up to the hype. Those who know me know that I have an affinity for the fuzzy stuff when it comes to music. The interesting thing about this album is the high-pitched chipmunk-esque vocals on most of the tracks mixed with loud guitars and powerful drums. It’s almost as if the Pixies took acid, tried sounding like The Flaming Lips and Cretin Stompers was the end result. A great underground punk jewel, you might have to rummage through your local record store to get a physical copy, but once you listen to Looking Forward To Being Attacked the search will be all worth it. Governments are mishandling tax money, there’s mass protesting everywhere, and there’s another militia working on taking over the entire Middle East. If your outlook on the world needs a little brightening, take a gander at the top tracks off of my Album Of The Week. The trinity of the high pitched vocals, loud guitars and powerful drums is excellently exemplified on “Project: Object.” Each time I listen to it part of me wants to be freaked out, but it’s a truly wonderful track that puts me in a blissful mood. A punk rager to the fullest extent is “Adult Child;” the guitars definitely have that trademark shoegaze effect with raw energy upping the ante. If I had to pick any hit single off of Cretin Stompers’ debut, it’ll be “Eye Of The Storm.” There’s a nice pop aesthetic that pleases the senses while also being very catchy.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] I KEEP IT TO MYSELF – THE BEST OF WILKO JOHNSON VÖ: 10. März 2017 auf Chess Der legendäre Gitarrist und Songwriter Wilko Johnson setzt seine Zusammenarbeit mit Chess, dem Label, das viele der Songs, die ihn ursprünglich während seiner Jugend inspiriert haben, veröffentlichte, fort. Für I Keep It To Myself - The Best Of Wilko Johnson wurden 25 zwischen 2008 und 2012 entstandene Tracks zusammengestellt. Die Band besteht hauptsächlich aus Norman Watt- Roy von den Blockheads (Bass) und Dylan Howe (Drums) – dergleichen Rhythmusgruppe, die auch auf Wilkos Erfolgsalbum Going Back Home mit Roger Daltrey mitgewirkt hatte. Mit neuen Interpretationen der von ihm selbst geschriebenen Dr Feelgood Tracks ‘She Does It Right’, ‘Twenty Yards Behind’, ‘Sneaking Suspicion’ und ‘Roxette’, sowie weiteren lebhaften Songs wie ‘Turned 21’, ‘Some Kind Of Hero’, ‘Out In The Traffic’, Barbed Wire Blues’, ‘Down By The Waterside’ und ‘I Really Love Your Rock 'n' Roll’ ist das Album I Keep It To Myself - The Best Of Wilko Johnson eine wunderbare Sammlung mit energiegeladenem Rhythm & Blues. Und das Rückgrat des Albums bildet Wilko Johnsons charakteristischer Fendersound. Wilko ist ein einzigartiger Künstler. Wenn Sie das Glück haben sollten, ihn live zu sehen, achten Sie mal darauf, wie seine Hände (nicht das Plektrum) diese harten Riffs und brutalen Gitarrensolos herausprügeln. Dabei ist er ständig in Bewegung – auf das Publikum zu, vom Publikum weg – rastlos, genau wie seine Musik. Die meisten Songs sind kürzer als drei Minuten. Und wenn sie vorbei sind, dann weiß man, dass man bei einem Konzert war.

Your story matters to us. Citation Weiner, R.G. (2008). [Review of the book Beyond and Before: The Formative Years of Yes by Peter Banks]. Popular Music and Society, 31(1), 136-139. https://doi.org/10.1080/03007769908591748 Citable Link http://hdl.handle.net/2346/1546 Terms of Use CC-BY Title page template design credit to Harvard DASH. 136 Book Reviews Hammond’s myopic vision, his unrelenting determination, and his deep personal sorrows, but to his friends and supporters Hammond was a trying project. Perhaps, as Prial suggests, Hammond’s relationship to the Vanderbilts did him more good in his early years in music than his social skills. There are questions unanswered and undeveloped in this biography related to Hammond the man, such as his falling out with Aretha Franklin or his quick parting with Dylan. Each chapter of this book comes (another assault on your pocketbook) with a wonderful ‘‘discography’’ that should slow down the pace of reading but will contribute to a great start in building a library of American music of the 20th century. It is quite something how much music Hammond had a role in, and this portion of the book is an important reminder of the times and genres Hammond touched. As with all biographies there are problems and limitations. For those of us raised in the second half of the century, The Producer fails to deliver the same magic surrounding the discovery and signing of ‘‘our’’ heroes as it does around the early stars.

  • The Royal Affair Tour: Live from Las Vegas
    Yes – The Royal Affair Tour: Live From Las Vegas (75:20, CD, 2 LP, Download, BMG/Warner) Schon wieder ein Live-Album von Yes? Seit dem Jahr 2014 ist dies nun die bereits sechste Live- Veröffentlichung bei der Yes drauf steht, sodass eine gewisse Reizüberflutung zu verzeichnen ist. Sind dennoch Gründe erkennbar, sich noch ein weiteres Live-Werk zuzulegen, auch wenn man kein „Die-Hard Fan“ der Band sein sollte? Fakt ist, das zum x-ten Mal Tracks wie ‚Starship Trooper‘, ‚Siberian Khatru‘, ‚Roundabout‘ oder ‚I’ve Seen All Good People‘ dargeboten werden, die in früheren Besetzungen mit mehr Verve und besseren solistischen Können ertönen. Immerhin sind Kompositionen wie das Richie Havens-Cover ‚No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed‘ von der zweiten Yes- Veröffentlichung, sowie zwei weitere Coverversionen mit ‚Imagine‘ von John Lennon sowie ‚America‘ von Paul Simon dabei, die bisher seltener auf einem Live-Medium zu hören sind. Das Konzert wurde am 26. Juli 2019 im Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas während der „The Royal Affair Tour“ aufgenommen und von Billy Sherwood gemixt. Yes sind aktuell Steve Howe (Gitarre), Alan White (Schlagzeug), Geoff Downes (Keyboards), Sänger Jon Davison sowie Billy Sherwood, der nach dem Tod von Gründungsmitglied und Bassist Chris Squire im Jahre 2015 den Bass übernahm. Außerdem wird Jay Schellen im Booklet als Yes- Musiker aufgeführt, der das Schlagzeugspiel live wesentlich bereichert. Ein Gründungsmitglied ist bei Yes inzwischen nicht mehr an Bord, womit der dienstälteste Yesser Steve Howe, der 1971 auf dem „Yes Album“ die Gitarre für Peter Banks übernahm, das Zepter übernommen hat. Als Gast hört man die Moody-Blues-Legende John Lodge, der sich auf ‚Imagine‘ den Gesang mit Jon Davison teilt.

  • A Cultural Psychology Perspective
    Learning experiences of Expert Western Drummers: A cultural psychology perspective Bill Bruford Introduction This chapter explores the perceptions of the formative music learning experiences of a subset of expert popular music instrumentalists – drummers – and how the effects play out in the subsequent creative actions of the participants. It starts from the presumption that the experience of musical learning undergone by individuals who later develop as internationally recognized performers might warrant examination by virtue of the proven success of its outcomes. Most studies that focus on musical learning have done so within the context of Western classical music (Barrett 2011a, 265) and within that of student or early-career practitioners on pitched instruments. The learning experiences of high-level, peak-career experts on unpitched instruments in non-classical traditions have been much less examined, and it is the perceptions of such a group that provide the setting for this analysis. Evidence provided here will help demonstrate that a) informal learning may be more productive in some areas of music practice than formal learning; b) calls for the refocusing of the notion of practice to accommodate something more than solitary confinement with the instrument should not go unheeded; c) the somewhat under-sung value of non-deliberate practice demands equivalency with the acknowledged value of deliberate practice; and that d) parental involvement in learning may have both negative and positive impacts. Elements of action theory1 are used to situate learning in the context of drummers’ “community of practice” (Wenger 1998), itself embedded in a cultural system characterized in part by the unpitched nature of the instrument (Boesch 1987, Cole 1996).
