From my hometown of Baltimore I listened to WCAO radio Top 40 hits, and watched The Buddy Deane Dance Party every day after school. My early musical heroes were Dion, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Little Eva, Ray Charles, Chubby Checker, Gene Pitney, Roy Orbison, The Four Tops and, Stevie Wonder…. My parents were also music fans.

  • Jefferson's Tree of Liberty 9/3/08 2:17 AM
    Music Review: Jefferson Starship - Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty 9/3/08 2:17 AM Blogcritics is an online magazine, a community of writers and readers from around the globe. Publisher: Eric Olsen REVIEW Music Review: Jefferson Starship - Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty Written by David Bowling Published August 31, 2008 Life is good as founding member Paul Kantner remains in control of The Jefferson Starship. Long time cohort David Freiberg is still around as is guitarist Mark Aguilar. Cathy Richardson is now the lead female vocalist. She starred in the off Broadway production about Janis Joplin’s life. Richardson’s voice is powerful and pure but is closer to a Grace Slick sound than Joplin’s, which should come as no surprise. Even Marty Balin joins the Starship for a couple of tunes. Jefferson’s Tree Of Liberty finds the Starship traveling in a new and unique musical direction. Succinctly put, this is a folk album. Songs such as “Pastures Of Plenty” by Woody Guthrie, “Chimes Of Freedom” by Bob Dylan, and “I Ain’t Marching Anymore” by Phil Ochs are all presented in classic vocal form. Kantner and The Jefferson Starship can’t quite escape their rock ‘n’ roll roots as the instrumental background veers from the classic folk formula. Think the Weavers in rock mode. The first track sets the tone for most of the album. The old Weavers tune, “Wasn’t That A Time,” features the voices of Kantner, Freiberg, and Richardson. Richardson provides a wonderful balance on most of the harmonies contained on the album.

Though he disavowed the role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or "spokesman" of the group. One of its founders, Garcia performed with the Grateful Dead for their entire thirty-year career (1965–1995). Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders-Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).

Photo: Sony/Legacy Signe Toly Anderson, the original female lead singer of the Jefferson Airplane, died at her home in Beaverton, Ore., on Thursday — the day the band’s co-founder Paul Kantner died from multiple organ failure and septic shock in San Francisco. She was 74. Her death was confirmed by her daughter, Onateska Ladybug Sherwood, who said Ms. Anderson had been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. “I imagine that she and Paul woke up in heaven and said, ‘Hey what are you doing here? Let’s start Sign In a band,’” Marty Balin, one of the Jefferson Airplane’s co-founders, said in a statement. Local Sporting Green Politics Biz+Tech US & World Opinion Datebook Food Lifestyle Vault: Archive Pod A vocalist who had developed her chops singing folk music in Portland, Ore., Ms. Anderson moved to San Francisco and joined the band shortly after it formed in 1965, providing vocals for its debut album, “Jefferson Airplane Takes Off,” most notably on the tracks “Chauffeur Blues” and “Let’s Get Together,” a song that would later become a hit for the Youngbloods. By the summer of 1966, however, she married Merry Prankster Jerry Anderson and became pregnant with her first child. Deciding that touring life would be too difficult with a newborn, Ms. Anderson decided to leave.

  • Official Craig Chaquico Fan Club
    Official Craig Chaquico Fan Club Gathering of the Tribes Summer 07 Message from Craig Summer is here, can you believe it?! I hope you’re all having a great time and enjoying some vacation time or that some vacation time awaits you in the near future! As for me, I’ve been working in the studio on some extra tracks to include with the live CD and some covers of a song or two I wrote in the classic rockin Jefferson Starship days now that we have such an amazing singer with Rolf Hartley doing some shows with us now and so I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy, no rest for the weary I always say! Plus, I do admit to procrastinating when my son asks me for some guitar lessons that I trade with him for martial arts lessons now that he's such a 1st place champion in his competitions. It’s been pretty easy for him to talk me out of spending a few hours in the studio during the spring and summer in favor taking him out in the old sports car so he can practice his stick shifting on some really amazing and beautiful roads in southern Oregon. He's actually better at it than I was at I N S I D E T H I S I SSUE his age and he just celebrated his 16th birthday on July 11 and took his drivers test for his license. 1 & 2 Update from Craig 2 & 3 Q & A with Craig & The live CD is coming along nicely and there may be a project coming up with some music for a TV show too, but when the weather is so nice it’s hard to stay in the studio Craig Trivia sometimes.
