Keep On, Good Friend... Voices That I'd Ever Worked With

THE BILLBOARD INTERVIEW Continued from page DC -14 and what is a person, and if you're attracted to what you're seeing, you're attracted to it, you know? It's a kind of ele- vated song about androgyny, and, in spite of the fact that it's down and dirty, it has a kind of lofty concept. Did the band have any qualms about singing it? Well, they went for it. And John Kalodner loved it 'cause he likes getting in dresses. Didn't you see him in the video? He was in an all -white bridal gown, looking fetching. You wrote `Angel" with Steven Tyler the next day, but when Billboard interviewed Aerosmith for their 25th anniversary, many of the members talked about how much trouble they had, as a hard rock band, doing a ballad with strings. I think that [Tyler's] vocal performance on that song is one of his best. It's like, all of them had a limited concept - all of the groups. I mean Jon Bon Jovi didn't wanna sing "Livin' On A Prayer." He thought it was too wimpy. I con- vinced them; Richie and I went crazy. We said, `Jon, no, you have to do this, you have to." He was rolling his eyes because he wanted to rock out, and that's not what was hap- pening. It took a lot of forcing and-guess what ?-once you start having success and everybody likes it, then they relax. SINCERE CONGRATULATIONS TO DESMOND CH I LDS ON 25 EXTRAORDINARY YEARS. "Dude" looked like a I inner: AC ra'1/Iiiii Whether it's a ballad or a rocker, your songs aren't for the meek. I do work with really strong characters, like Alice Coop- er and Joan Jett. All of these people have very distinctive personas, very distinct points of view. I guess it's a good marriage, because, if you have strong emotions, it'd be nice to have someone who can be expressive with your voice.

Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

In 1920 they moved into Regina where Alex found employment as a gardener, then as a teamster for the City of Regina Parks Board. The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley.

Song & Music in the Movement
Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

perPormers Sdeven Tyler, Tom Hamildon, Joe Perry, Brad WhidPord, Joey Kramer (L do R), 1977 I By Scott Schinder n a three-decade career unparal leled in both the giddy exhilaration of its highs and the crushing depths of its lows, Aerosmith continues to embody the hormone-fueled liberation of the American teenage rock & roll experi Ience like no other band of its era. n the 1970s, the Boston-bred quintet played a ma- ® jor role in establishing the fundamentals of hard rock. But despite its seminal role in making rock sound big ger, Aerosmith has never abandoned its original mis sion as a gritty, unpretentious rock & roll outfit. The band has always retained an instinctive understanding of the importance of the groove, and its riffy, hook- savvy songcraft has always gone hand in hand with the cheerfully sleazy swagger of flamboyant frontman Steven Tyler’s randy, double entendre-laden lyrics. In its initial rise to arena-rock stardom, Aero name Aerosmith) on drums and Beantown hat smith introduced such standards as “Walk This band vet Brad Whitford on rhythm guitar.

And greatest rock band that ever was.” The reality of with its epic early magnum opus “Dream On,” Aerosmith’s early days was considerablyiess the band virtually invented the power ballad.
