1962—1963 - 6Th Grade 1962—1963 - 6th Grade WORLD EVENTS The United Nations condemned apartheid in South Africa and called for an end to military and economic aid to SA. Pope John XXIII excommunicated Fidel Castro from the Catholic Church. Adolph Eichmann is executed in Israel for WWII war crimes. NATIONAL EVENTS The newly launched Telstar satellite transmitted the first television broadcast from Europe to the United States. John Glenn orbited the earth 3 times in the Friendship 7. President Kennedy ordered a ban on all Cuban products. The Cuban missile crisis began. US satellite pho- tos confirmed Soviet missiles being installed in Cuba. The US blockaded Cuba. President Ken- nedy addressed the nation announcing the block- ade of Cuba and warning of possible conflict. Castro demands the USSR attack the US with nu- clear missiles. USSR seriously considers the option. For six days the threat of nuclear war was very real - only a few knew how real. USSR conceded and removed its missiles. The US agreed not to invade Cuba and to gradually re- move 15 nuclear missiles from Turkey. The US rocket Ranger IV landed on (actually it crashed into) the moon. It’s mission to take photos of the moon’s surface failed due to equipment mal- function. Earlier in the year Ranger III, on an identical mission, had missed the moon by about 20,000 miles. So far our space program was not going as well as we’d hoped. The first Wall-Mart opened in Rogers, Arkansas. The first K-Mart also opened this year in a suburb of Detroit , Michigan. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black ordered the immediate admission of James Mere- dith into the University of Mississippi. Governor Ross Barnett defied the order and for- bade Meredith’s entry. President Kennedy nationalized Mississippi’s National Guard and enforced Meredith’s admission. The US Department of Justice orders court action to halt racial segregation in hospitals built with Federal funds. NATIONAL EVENTS (cont) The drug Thalidomide is removed from the market. A popular prescription sleeping aid the drug was found to cause a high rate of birth defects affecting limb development. The FDA is given expanded power to regulate the introduction of new drugs. The oral polio vaccine, developed by Dr. Albert Sabin is given to millions of children. The US Supreme Court ruled that mandatory prayers in public schools are unconstitutional. The Mariner II, the first US interplanetary probe, reached Venus and returned a signal providing the first scientific information from another planet. Things started “looking up” in the US’s space pro- gram. AND IN LEHI… V.J. Carter (Ray’s dad) began construction of the Lehi Airport on the bench above the cemetery. The Dry Creek Storage and Debris Basin was constructed north of Lehi near the Alpine Highway. Its 36 ft. tall earth-filled dam and spillway finally put an end to the annual springtime floods along Dry Creek (including the annual Lehi Elementary playground flood). The LDS Lehi Stake Presidency announced that the Lehi Tabernacle, probably the most prominent landmark in the city, was going to be demolished and replaced with a new building. In September of 1962, many of us watched from the Jr. High windows as the 112’ tall tower fell to the ground. Do you remember see- ing the artifacts from the Tabernacle’s cornerstone box, recovered after the demolition, that were placed on display in the Jr. High trophy case? The old Utah Theater at 154 West Main Street (originally Garff’s Hall and also known as the Lehi Opera House - which always seemed a little run down to me anyway) was demolished to make way for the modern Lehi Drug Store, constructed by Abe Ekins. The Royal Theater was now the only place to see a movie in Lehi. The Sego Lilly, Cedar Fort/Fairfield, and Lehi Elementary students came together as classmates for the first time in the old Jr. High School building. MUSIC NOTES Popular music really shifted gears in 1962. A new group, Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons, gave gender specific emotional counsel with “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man”. The Beach Boys’ surf music made surfing a national craze - especially for those who never had and never would surf. They (along with Ray Charles) had 3 songs in the Top 40 for the year, surpassed only by Elvis who had 4. “Surfin’ USA” was named the Song of the Year. Bob Dylan recorded his first album - it was a flop. And in England, the Beatles fired their drummer Pete Best and took on a new drummer Richard Starkey (whose stage name was Ringo Starr). Soon afterwards they recorded and released their first album in the United Kingdom. In a wasted attempt to appeal to adults (trying to bolster sales) the album included the song “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean” (a real rocker). MUSIC NOTES (cont.) Pete Seeger took up where Woody Guthrie had left off and married folk music to protest songs, be- coming a strong (although a little annoying) voice for the civil rights movement. Herb Alpert recorded “The Lonely Bull” and connected Jazz with Pop Music. Originally Alpert played all the parts and instruments. It would be awhile before the Tijuana Brass would form (it would be still longer before the Brass Men would form). Paul & Paula, Booker T. & the MGs, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, and the Trashmen (“the bird is a word”) all began recording. The Beatles auditioned for Decca Records. They were rejected.

    The king-sized artist obviously putting his heart and soul into a song is Duke Records’ Bobby Bland. Big in size and very big in talent depart- ment, Bland has been a solid, top-ten blues seller for Duke for a number of years. But 1962 saw him take bold of the pop market with three consecutive hits, “Turn On Your Love Light,” “Yield Not To Temptation” and his current long-running best seller, “Stormy Monday.” His latest LP, also enjoying steady sales, is dubbed “Here’s The Man.” Bobby is continually booked at clubs, on concert dates and one nigbters all across the U.S. Bland’s next single, soon to be released couples “Call On Me” with “That’s The Way Love Is.” ! on the harrelheafi A S U IN PRINIID RIG ".gMARCAS XOIUMBI* Gdsh Box Gash Box Vol. XXIV—Number 11 November 24, 1962 FOUNDED BY BILL GERSH Gash Box (Publication Office) 1780 Broadway New York 19, N.

  • Concepts for Booklet
    I have been asked why I chose to record albums of the seasons over the years. The inspiration that runs through all the songs that I compose or interpret by other composers comes from the cycle of the seasons and the Earth’s topographies, especially the great plains of eastern Montana where I grew up. I am also always envisioning my Muse, friends, and the thought of a person alone in the setting of the song. I consider that I have three time periods in which I have recorded solo piano albums: The first one was 1971-1972, just after I switched from organ to solo piano and recorded my first album BALLADS AND BLUES 1972 for the late great John Fahey’s Takoma Label.. My second recording period was 1980-1982, when I recorded the albums AUTUMN (1980), WINTER INTO SPRING (1982), and DECEMBER (1982). It was in 1973 that my concept of having specific themes for albums and concerts began to manifest. AUTUMN was very inspired by eastern Montana, especially the Miles City area, and by Autumn itself. WINTER INTO SPRING has a lot of Montana in it, as well as inspiration from the beautiful Mississippi springtime, where my family lived after moving from Montana. The third time period is 1991 to the present. In 1991 I recorded the album SUMMER, which was again very inspired by Montana, particularly the eastern and central parts of the state, as well as by the work of the great Montana pianist and composer Philip Aaberg. The version of SUMMER included in this box set includes a bonus track, Old Friends.
