  • The History of the Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie
    THE HISTORY OF THE TURTLES FEATURING FLO & EDDIE Very few rock performers have remained as vital through the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and the new millennium as have Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman... and as The Turtles, featuring Flo & Eddie, they continue to maintain a vigorous tour schedule. Two guys from Westchester. That's how Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (aka Flo and Eddie) refer to themselves. Two slightly bewildered kids thrust into the fast lane of rock 'n' roll stardom - hits, fame, national tours, hanging out with the Beatles, joining the Mothers of Invention, acting in the 200 Motels movie, and on and on ... Two guys from Westchester. Howard Kaylan (changed in 1965 from Kaplan, because that's how it always looked when he wrote his name) was born June 22, 1947 in the Bronx, and spent his first eight years in Manhattan before his father took a job with General Electric in Utica, New York. After the family moved there for a year or so, they moved to the Los Angeles area, settling in Westchester. Mark Volman was born April 19, 1947. After a brief period living in Redondo Beach, his family moved nearby to Westchester. Little did they know it at the time, but both Mark's and Howard's musical direction was forged by a crusty, old Mr. Ferguson who gave clarinet lessons in a drafty cubicle above the Westchester Music Store. Mark went to Orville Wright Jr. High, while Howard went to Airport Jr. High. They didn't know each other, but they both pursed their lips around clarinet reeds for Mr.

Cultural CommentarY.. _ Real Music About Things That Matter: The Survival of Folk Gil Bliss ollowing a decade-long slump, folk Fmusic is enjoying a return to popularity. The term "folk" should refer to music made by common people, not to the media definition of folk music that elicits visions of hay bales, hootenannies and country hicks. Although many younger music aficio­ nados may not understand this, there once was a time when American musical tastes were not dictated by MTV, force-fed radio programming at even the money-hungry corporate record business. Musicians were able to entertain the public even ifthey had not made videos. Before electric guitars, Walkman units, microphones, stereo tele­ vision, or even electricity, people managed to amuse themselves with tunes and styles ofmusic learned and performed around the home. For years, there were no mass-matket media to convey these sounds to the general public, and as a result, musical trends were generated and perpetuated along various geographical and socia-economic bound­ aries. Bluegrass thrived in the mountains of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia, while Tom Rush New Englanders kept alive a rich tradition ofmusic from the British Isles.

Cassaro, University of Pittsburgh, Music ii Copyright © by Sara Gulgas 2017 iii LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PAST: BAROQUE ROCK’S POSTMODERN NOSTALGIA AND THE POLITICS OF MEMORY Sara Gulgas, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2017 In the mid-1960s, baroque rock music blended the sound of string quartets, harpsichord ostinatos, and contrapuntal techniques with rock instrumentation. This contemporary representation of the distant past presents an ironic anachronism that is humorous in its novel affect while allowing this dissonance to alert the listener about constructions of memory and the perception of time. Some of the biggest names in rock and roll were influenced by the Early Music revival but took a non-linear approach to history rather than undertaking “historically informed performance.” They cultivated what I call postmodern nostalgia: a symptom of crisis and progress that is simultaneously reflexive in its detached interpretation of history and imagined in its participants’ ability to reference a past they have not themselves experienced.
