Daniel A. Foss and Ralph W. Larkin (1976, 47-50) In this chapter I want to look at the counterculture of the 1960s, primarily at the American phenomenon, with specific reference to political, social and cultural questions. I am conscious that these are not so easily distinguished—that, in fact, for many involved in the movement, it was a project precisely to blur or merge these categories. I hope to illustrate and interrogate some of those connections and tensions.

    Dedicated to Elmer Bernstein (1922-2004) It was with great sadness that we recently marked the passing of Elmer Bernstein, the legendary Academy Award-winning composer and great friend and mentor to the Woodstock Film Festival. Elmer was a longtime Woodstocker whose artistry, integrity, and personal kindness will forever live on in the magnificent scores he composed over a career that spanned more than half a century. Known as one of the titans of Hollywood’s golden age, Bernstein was nominated fourteen times for an Oscar, having written the scores for more than 200 films including The Ten Commandments, The Man with the Golden Arm, The Magnificent Seven, To Kill a Mockingbird, True Grit, The Great Escape, Animal House, and The Age of Innocence. Elmer remained on the cutting edge of his profession into his eighties. In 2002, he was nom- inated for an Oscar for his brilliant score for Far from Heaven. We join the world in celebrating the man and his music and are thankful to have known him. “For over a hundred years, Woodstock has been a place of dreams and magic. It was a place of dreams for visual art, for crafts, for music, for popular music, for theater, for political philosophy, for alternative lifestyles, and it is entirely fitting that Woodstock should become a place of dreams and magic for films at this time.” (ELMER BERNSTEIN, COMPOSER, WFF HONORARY CHAIR, FRIEND, MENTOR) Catskill MOuntain Foundation TABLE OF CONTENTS Join us for our Fiercely Independent The Woodstock Film Festival is a not-for-profit, 501 (C)(3) organization with a mission to present an annu- al program and year-round schedule of film, music, and art-related activities that promote artists, culture, inspired learning, and diversity.

  • 1 a Conversation with Jorma Kaukonen • Frank
    A Conversation with Jorma Kaukonen • Frank Goodman (Puremusic 2/2002) Throughout history, there has been a long lineage of electric guitar heroes. In their parallel universe, there have been as many acoustic guitar heroes. But the only musicians I can think of who have legitimately been both are Richard Thompson and Jorma Kaukonen. Jorma rose to superstardom in his early twenties in The Jefferson Airplane. (In fact, he named the band. It was part of a name a friend made up for him, Blind Thomas Jefferson Airplane.) Paul Kantner and Marty Balin needed a lead player, and he took the spot reluctantly. He was more into the Blues. His propensity for acoustic fingerstyle spawned an instrumental on their 1967 breakthrough record Surrealistic Pillow called “Embryonic Journey” that is still in demand, featured in the soundtrack of A Walk On The Moon (the great movie produced by Dustin Hoffman), and the NBC series The Sixties. The legend of Jefferson Airplane is a matter of Psychedelic record, and in the late 60s Jorma and bassist Jack Casady put together Hot Tuna. Hot Tuna was and is a Blues based act (from a duo to a quintet over the years) that featured the work of Reverend Gary Davis and other acoustic Blues masters, as well as Jorma’s originals in this style. I certainly recall the mind boggling impact that the first Hot Tuna album (recorded live at Berkeley’s New Orleans House in September of ’69) had on my musical family and all my fingerpicking friends in the suburbs of Philly. We all started to learn as many of the difficult pieces note for note as we could.
