These traditions both embody and shape the fantastic and shape the fantastic tales and mosaic of cultures that are integral to Florida’s distinctive tales and mosaic of character and identity. "The Florida Sound is a mix that is as diverse as the state’s population," Jeff Lemlich points out in his article on Florida cultures that are rock music. ‘And both continue to grow and change." For me, nothing evokes the real Florida better than a folk song by integral to Florida’s one of our state’s troubadours. Their songs evoke a sense of place as distinctive character vivid and accessible as a Clyde Butcher photograph or a Highwayman painting. They give voice to a specific time, a spirit, a mood; they spin a and identity. yarn; they let us in on the real thing. Of course the real thing may also have a Latin beat, whether it’s the rumbas or mambas of an era gone by, or the pulsating beat of the new generation of Latin music emanating from Miami. Or maybe it’s the infectious "ka-link, ka-link, ka-link" of the cowbells that characterize Bahamian Junkanoo music, which has traveled from West Africa to the Bahamas-and finally to Florida. Fortunately for Floridians, the music never stops. Even as we listen to the classics of established genres, new music is emerging. It adds to and enriches the numerous traditions that make up the sounds of Florida - so numerous, in fact, that we can highlight only some of them in this issue of FORUM. I hope this speaks to you as it does to me about the meaning of music in our lives as Floridians, Listen, and learn! Florida Council Comings and HUM ANITIES Goings...

    KC had started hanging out at the new T.K. studios–a combination record ware- house and attic recording facility owned by R & B music legend Henry Stone. It was here, in the fullness of time, that he would rendezvous with his destiny–and his new musical collaborator, Rick Finch. “My biggest break was finding this little record company, this little recording studio,” he recalls. “I mean, there was Criteria in Miami, but you had to have money to get into Criteria to record a record. “T.K. was not like Criteria. Criteria was a recording studio where everybody from the Who’s Who list paid big money to record there. T.K. was this private thing. They were making their own records and distributing them.” Steve Alaimo, T.K. Productions’ vice president and head of A&R, years ago reflected on the origins of the south Florida recording industry in a newspaper interview. “Around 1970, Henry Stone and I decided we were going to start a record company in Florida,” Alaimo said. “And we just worked real hard and it worked. For one thing, the weather’s so good down here. L.A., New York... it’s more comfortable here. We built a little studio. We just added on and got bigger.” AT LEAST YOU’RE DOING WHAT YOU LOVE 39 The original name of the group, in fact, was KC And The Sunshine Junkanoo Band, which suggests that the band’s original charter, beyond its affiliations with R & B, tended toward a raucous, Caribbean sensibility. “In a way it was Early Disco, if you want to call it that,” says KC.

    PRESENTS AN EVENING WITH TAXI’S MICHAEL LASKOW American Idol judge and Hit Songwriter Kara DioGuardi (L), during her interview with Michael Laskow (R), at TAXI’s free, members-only convention, the Road Rally. A Message From Diane Waters I met Michael Laskow in 1992 just before he founded Taxi and he’s as enthusiastic about discovering and promoting songwriters today as he was back then. When we spoke recently he was relating the whirlwind of activity he’s involved in to get ready for this year’s Taxi “Road Rally.” Each year he ups the ante and this time out he’s secured multi Grammy award winning songwriter Diane Warren as the keynote interview. Even with all of this, Michael is happily making time for the San Diego Songwriter’s Guild this month! He’ll spend the evening with us, share some of his vast knowledge and even listen to some members songs via Skype. What a great opportunity for us! The event will take place at 7PM on Monday, September 24th at the Country Inn & Suites (5975 Lusk Boulevard San Diego 92121). Members wishing to submit a song (limited spots available) will need to register in advance and submit a song online. But hurry! Registration deadline is 3PM on Thursday, September 20th . To submit online visit: www.sdsongwriters.org/laskow2012.php About Michael Laskow Michael Laskow has become one of the most well-connected people in the music business today. As President and CEO of TAXI, he is in daily contact with Directors and Vice Presidents of A&R at virtually all major record labels, many prominent independent labels, publishers, and music supervisors working on film and TV projects.

The earliest and most complete reference to this deity can be seen in Vedic texts from 1500 BCE. Documentary evidence in rock art, and sixth century BCE Tartessian inscriptions demonstrate that the ancient Celtic world saw this deity of the land as a Horse Queen that ruled the land and granted fertility. Evidence suggests that she could grant sovereignty rights to humans by uniting with them (literally or symbolically), through ingestion, or intercourse. The Horse Queen is represented, or alluded to in such divergent areas as Bronze Age English hill figures, Celtic coinage, Roman horse deities, mediaeval and modern Celtic masked traditions. Even modern Welsh traditions, such as the Mari Lwyd, infer her existence and confirm the value of her symbolism in the modern world. 2 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Table of Contents List of definitions: ............................................................................................................ 8 Introduction ..................................................................................................................

  • 1957 and 1961, Both My Life and Career
    1957 and 1961, both my life and career began to take shape under the tutelage of legendary Billboard music editor Paul Ackerman and then-chart editor Tom Noonan, who first opened the magazine’s doors to a fifteen-year-old kid. At that time, Billboard was certainly the com­ munications center of the music industry, and what I learned and saw and heard there has indeed served me well over the years. Far and away the monumental event - and one of the most important moments in my life - was meeting Syd Nathan at a Billboard record-review session one drizzly Wednesday night in March or April 1958. A lthough i had a french test coming up, Paul urged me to stay by saying, “This guy is one of the great indie record men a real character. He can’t see very well and wears these thick, will be around. We’ll listen to those next week. Syd, let’s have Coca-Cola-bottle glasses, has a big ring on his finger and talks your records.” Syd got up and threw his records - fortunately, with a deep, raspy voice due to previous illnesses, but you just unbreakable 45s - on the floor and said, “Y)u don’t step on a man must meet him. He’ll be overwhelmed by your knowledge of when he’s down. Listen to Jerry Blaine’s records, and you can save C&W and R&B, and you will understand and love him and see mine for next week.” Needless to say, a ll the records were what he is all about.” Paul was right: That meeting changed my reviewed, including ones by Little Willie John on Syd’s label King life and destiny and is probably the reason I am able to write a and the Cadillacs on Josie.

The FWP carried out numerous folk music collecting expeditions in Florida through the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Folklorists such as Zora Neale Hurston, Alan Lomax, and Stetson Kennedy led the expeditions and traveled throughout Florida to record blues, “jook” songs, work songs, and traditional music from African American, Cuban, Czech, Greek, Minorcan, Seminole, and Slavic communities.
