Reflecting on Governor Brendan T, Byrne's budget recommendations for fiscal year (fy) 1975-76, Calabrese revealed that MSC's budget "w ill be short anywere from 12%-I5%." Despite the Governor's admittedly austere budget recommendations, the state has not recommended a tuition hike at the state colleges, in addition: "State Higher Education Chancellor Ralph A.

  • Calvary Chapel Broomfield, CO
    Calvary Chapel Broomfield, CO Answering The Call Broomfield CC Through music and practical demonstrations of Christ’s love, this small Denver-area church pastored by a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee reaches believers and nonbelievers alike. Story by Debra Smith Photos by Geraldine Wilkins Pastor Richie Furay and Scott Sellen of Calvary Chapel Broomfield, CO, strummed the last chord. As the two turned to exit the stage at California’s Orange County Fair, they heard a voice call out: “Scott Sellen, Woodbury High, 1969.” Puzzled, they looked over to see a former classmate of Scott’s walking toward him. Scott, worship leader at CC Broomfield, was astonished— “This was 30 years and 3,000 miles later,” he said. The irony grew as he remembered, “Back in high school, this girl used to bring magazines of rock-and-roll stars to school. CC Broomfield is located 16 miles north of Denver, CO. The church began in Boulder, One of her favorites was Richie Furay.” That CO, but relocated because most congregants were from northwest Denver suburbs. was long before Richie and Scott had met; on this day, they had been playing together for more than 20 years. Richie surprised her. So she got on Richie’s California Rock Star website, read his biography, and learned we to Colorado Pastor Scott introduced his old friend to Richie, had become Christians.

  • Buffalo Springfield Reunited
    Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited By Marco R. della Cava, USA Today, 10/25 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Wow, man. There's tie-dyed Woodstock emcee Wavy Gravy getting wanded by security. Backstage, check out psychedelic album-art maestro Stanley Mouse, sketching up a storm. On stage? How about Buffalo Springfield, ripping through nearly a dozen of the band's hits? Who says you can't go back? Saturday's '60s throwback came courtesy of Neil and Pegi Young's 24th annual benefit concert to support the Bridge School, which educates 1 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited children with severe impairments. Although the lineup for the all-acoustic, eight-hour affair was typically eclectic, the undeniable focus was on Young's first public reunion with remaining original members of his old band, formed with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay in the musical cauldron of 1966 and disbanded two years later. Springboard to fame The surviving trio did their late bandmates, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin, proud. Opening with a slightly slowed version of the Furay-led On the Way Home, Stills and Young dutifully fell into supporting roles on harmony. 2 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited Furay, dressed in a black cowboy shirt, stayed in the spotlight with A Child's Claim to Fame, Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It and Kind Woman. But the men flanking him would soon show their stuff, making it instantly clear why Springfield was fated to be a passing phenomenon.

  • Corey's Top 10 2018 Concerts
    Corey's Top 10 2018 Concerts As 2018 ends and we look forward to 2019, I share my top ten concerts for the past year. This represents the eighth installment in this “series.” This past year, my wife me joined for six of shows that I include this year. I averaged almost two shows a month (I’d prefer more.) Several – including many good ones not on this list – featured multiple artists who could headline in their own right; that certainly made the overall experience closer to the feel attending something 30 to 40 shows when the actually number of shows totaled 23. The other nice factoid because it rarely works out that way involved how many shows (including a few not reviewed here) involved real faves of this commentator; this includes probably the five top artists I follow (though in three cases not with the original bands that caused me to follow their music. 1) I grew up loving the music of Creedence Clearwater Revival. That means songs written, and/ or arranged, produced and sung by one John C. Fogerty. Those songs rock and the solo stuff just follow with the standard John set with CCR. His band is great and includes his son Shane on 2nd guitar. Indeed, family seemed to be a common theme in a number of great shows I took in this year. It was certainly the best performance I ever experienced to date (and I blogged as such), not just by John, and no offense to other artists who really sang and played their hearts out at other shows I saw.

In 1960 the music business was still centered in New York, whose denizens regarded L.A. as kooky and provincial at best. Between the years 1960 and 1965 a remarkable shift occurred. The sound and image of Southern California began to take over, replacing Manhattan as the hub of American pop music.

In 1965, singles recorded in Los Angeles occupied the No. 1 spot for an impressive twenty weeks, compared to just one for New York.
