    Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library David Getz An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2020 © 2020 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of David Getz INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 60 pages INTERVIEW DATE: January 9, 2020 In this oral history, musician and artist David Getz discusses his life and musical career. Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

  • Addio a Paul Kantner, “The Brain” Dei Jefferson Airplane
    Addio a Paul Kantner, “the brain” dei Jefferson Airplane È morto a 74 anni il chitarrista Paul Kantner, uno dei fondatori della band Jefferson Airplane. Lo riporta il San Francisco Chronicle. Protagonista della scena musicale della west coast americana, Kantner è stato stroncato giovedì 28 gennaio da un attacco di cuore a San Francisco, la città in cui era nato il 17 marzo 1941. Chi era Paul Kantner? Ecco cosa scrive sul sito ufficiale dei Jefferson Airplane Greg Gildersleeve (1998). Anche se non ha mai scritto o cantato come voce leader nessun brano di successo, Paul Kantner ha avuto un impatto maggiore di qualsiasi altro membro sui Jefferson Airplane/Starship. È suo il record della più lunga, ininterrotta appartenenza (19 anni) alla band, ed è stato a volte l’unico membro delle origini della band presente in eventi con JA. Il suo interesse per la fantascienza l’ha portato a trasformare i Jefferson Airplane nei Jefferson Starship, e, in tutto questo, ha presieduto alla democrazia sregolata e talvolta disordinata della band. Se Marty Balin era l’anima della band, e Grace Slick il suo volto, Paul Kantner potrebbe esserne considerato, the brain, il cervello. | 1 Addio a Paul Kantner, “the brain” dei Jefferson Airplane L’unico nativo di San Francisco tra gli iniziatori degli Airplane/Starship, Paul Lorin Kantner nasce il 17 marzo 1941, da Paul S. e Cora Lee (Fortier) Kantner. Paul aveva un fratellastro e una sorellastra parecchio più grandi. Quando Paul aveva otto anni, sua madre morì; e, ricorderà in seguito, non gli fu consentito di partecipare al suo funerale, ma fu portato al circo.

  • New Riders of the Purple Sage – Nrpsmusic.Com in the Summer Of
    New Riders of the Purple Sage – nrpsmusic.com In the summer of 1969, John Dawson was looking to showcase his songs while Jerry Garcia was looking to practice his brand new pedal steel guitar. The two played in coffeehouses and small clubs initially, and the music they made became the nucleus for a band—the New Riders of the Purple Sage. That same year, David Nelson, expert in both country and rock guitar, joined the group on electric lead guitar. Filling out the rhythm section in those early days were Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and engineer Bob Matthews on bass, who was later replaced by Phil Lesh. In 1970, Dave Torbert took over on bass and the New Riders played every chance they got. Soon enough, smoky clubs all over the San Francisco bay area were filling up with whooping, foot-stomping crowds as their music got tighter and more dynamic. They began to tour extensively with the Dead, and in December of 1970, Spencer Dryden, who had previously showed his impeccable drumming style with the Jefferson Airplane, had stepped in on drums. One of the many gigs with the Dead included the Trans-Canadian Festival Express with Janis Joplin, The Band, and other American and Canadian artists like Ian and Sylvia, who had with them a brilliant, innovative pedal steel player named Buddy Cage. When Garcia's busy schedule made it increasingly difficult for him to play with the New Riders, the talented Cage was the perfect choice to fill the pedal steel spot. He moved from Toronto where he had been working in Anne Murray's band, to California in the fall of 1971 to join the New Riders.
