  • Backtrack Blues Band "One Sheet"
    On its fifth CD, “Way Back Home,” the first class band has recorded one of its strongest traditional blues records to date. Led by the double barrel attack of harmonica ace and lead vocalist, Sonny Charles, and the biting Texas blues guitar of Kid Royal, the Backtrack Blues Band is now poised to carry its musical message to a larger audience. —Art Tipaldi, Editor, Blues Music Magazine, 2016 Backtrack isn’t afraid to play dirty and lowdown…. This blues is definitely worth searching for! —Alex Henderson, CD Universe On its new release, “Way Back Home,” the Backtrack Blues Band has delivered an exciting harp and guitar-infused album that really hits the mark! The group has been one of Florida’s leading original blues acts for decades, and those years of performing have paid big dividends on this record. The solid grooves, stellar guitar, electrifying harmonica, and vocals make this CD one of the best blues releases of 2016. Reminiscent of the sounds of Paul Butterfield and the early Fabulous Thunderbirds, the songs on this record are true electric blues with lots of soul and energy. Backtrack has won three consecutive Tampa Bay Music Awards for “Best Blues Band” and has performed at festivals and concerts around the world with blues music legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Gregg Allman, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, and others. “Way Back Home” marks the band’s fifth album, and the critics have proclaimed it the band’s best work.

  • Guitar Mikey Timeline
    GUITAR MIKEY TIMELINE 1969 At the age of 5 receives a stack of 45 rpm records. By the age of 6 he finds himself recording himself singing along the records on his dad’s cassette recorder. Songs included “Kansas City” by Trini Lopez. 1976 First Television Appearances At Age 11 Mike McMillan AKA Guitar Mikey at age 11 starts The Young Canadian Blues Band. He makes several appearances with the 3 member band on a local cable show performing some 50's rock'n'roll classics as well as Johnny Winter's "Mean Town Blues". At age 11 Mike attends a Muddy Waters concert by himself. His father returns at the end of the show to pick him up. He is nowhere to be found. Eventually as Mike's dad continues to circle the auditorium he finds Mike exiting the stage door where he had been hanging out with the man himself, Muddy Waters. First Working Band Mike had just turned 12 when he joined his first working band "Phoenix". They would play local high school dances. He would continue performing as a guitar player playing in rock bands while all the time really wanting to play blues. 1980 Steel City Blues Band Mike realized that if he was going to play blues, he would have to front a band as the singer. So he began to sing blues imitating his childhood idol Johnny Winter. The familiar growling style would work for the time being. However Mike's singing would eventually grow into something all his own. He started The Steel City Blues Band.

  • Reflections of the Class of 1972 the World and Franklin & Marshall
    Reflections of the Class of 1972 The World and Franklin & Marshall, 1968-1972 By Larry May We entered F&M just as one era in American life was ending and a new one beginning. 1968-1972 was neither the best of times nor the worst of times, but it was a chaotically transformational time Most of all it was our time. We came to F&M having grown up watching Leave it to Beaver and thinking that married couples like Donna and Alex Stone (The Donna Reed Show) commonly slept in twin beds. Who knew that sex ended with marriage? We came to F&M as the last of the short-haired relics of the Eisenhower and e Kennedy years and many of us, we dare say, undoubtedly emerged more politicized and unquestionably less well-groomed. Our four years at F&M provided us with an imperfect sanctuary from the tumultuous goings on of the outside world. Consider all that happened during our college years: -- In the Summer of 1968 the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia putting an end to the Czechoslovakian Spring. -- The rioting in and the burning of our nation’s inner cities continued and served as a constant and distressing reminder of the anger and frustration born of poverty, racism and inequality. -- On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon and we watched Walter Cronkite cry on TV probably for the first time since the assassination of John F. Kennedy. --August 1969, Woodstock -- In November of 1969 we witnessed, and some of us even participated, in the watershed anti-Vietnam War march on Washington.

Just exactly how and when these changes take place is the concern of a group of UWSP faculty and staff who are members ;::r-. of the Campus Master Plan Committee; or, as the man in the red vest calls it, "the university dream committee." The be sure, the recently · formed committee is made up of some of the finest "dreamers" that Chancellor Lee Dreyfus could assemble. Yet, after talking with several committee members, it seems clear that the whole idea of formulating a "master plan" to chart future physical development of the university is really a task for all of us. Indeed, one member advised that at this point, the "dream" committee "desperately needs ideas" from students and faculty, no matter how "off the -f wall." One can be reasonably certain that this ~----~t) no-holds-barred approach was what the chancellor had in mind when he suggested ' that development of a master plan for the university of the 1990's· and beyond "might involve looking at some aspects of places like Disneyland."

  • CNHI Woodstock 20190814
    A half-century later, the mother of all music festivals still resonates ifty years after the fact, it still resonates with us. Tucked up in the Catskill Mountains, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair — promoted as “An Aquarian Exposition, Three Days of Peace and Music,” but known to one and all as simply Woodstock — took place in 1969 over three-plus days. From Friday, Aug. 15, through the morning of Monday, Aug. 18, dairy farmer Max Yasgur’s 600- acre parcel of land in Bethel, New York — forever immortalized in Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” (ironically, she wasn’t at the event itself) — became the epicenter of the music and cultural universe, a haven for 400,000-plus hippies, bohemians, music lovers and mem- bers of the counterculture. It began when folkie Richie Havens began strumming his gui- tar, kicking off the festival with Paul Gerry/Bethel Woods Collection “From the Prison.” Thirty-two more acts, about 66 hours and several rainstorms later, it ended when guitar god Jimi Hendrix capped off a stellar set with his rendition of “Hey Joe.” Thousands of cars were left stranded for miles and miles en route to the venue as concertgo- ers walked to their destination. Tickets for the festival were $18, but many attendees got in for free when the crowd more than tripled what organizers had anticipated. Dallas Taylor, the drummer for supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (playing just its second-ever show), asked the helicopter pilot James Sarles/Bethel Woods Collection James Sarles/Bethel Woods Collection flying him to the event what body of More than 400,000 people descended on a dairy farm in Bethel, N.Y., for the concert held 50 years ago.

  • Paul Began Playing at Age 12, on an Acoustic Guitar That His
    Paul began playing at age 12, on an acoustic guitar that his dad had “broken in” singing pro-labor and “peoples’ songs” while performing at union rallies and concerts in the late ‘40’s. An entirely self-taught player, Paul used as his early models the music in his dad’s 78 and LP collection- records by Lightnin’ Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Blind Willie Johnson, Leadbelly, Uncle Dave Macon, Woody Guthrie, Jimmy Driftwood, and Flatt and Scruggs, as well as jazz and gospel discs by Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, The Staple Singers, and Mahalia Jackson. Soon after hearing the music coming out of bars on Chicago’s South Side, howev- er, he single-mindedly started playing electric guitar, trying to evoke the sounds of Buddy Guy and Otis Rush. His career began at age 18 “in the trenches” of Pepper’s Lounge, the 1815 Club, Theresa’s, and other haunts, as a sideman to Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Junior Wells and other fixtures of the Chicago blues scene. Gigs, tours and recordings followed, with legends like John Lee Hooker, Earl Hooker, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Sam Lay, Pops Staples, Donny Hathaway and Lightnin’ Slim. During this time he appeared on the milestone recording “Fathers and Sons” featuring Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield and also played on “The London Howlin’ Wolf Sessions” LP, fea- turing Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and members of the Rolling Stones. In 1971, needing a “spiritual battery recharge” he made the move to rural Vermont. The idea was to go as far from his “urban music roots” as possible- he bought a tiny piece of land in the shadow of breathtaking Camel’s Hump Mountain, built a geodesic dome, and attempted to live “like normal folks who didn’t live the music life 24 hours a day”.
