  • After 50 Years in Produce, Kenton Kidd Calling It a Career
    - Advertisement - After 50 years in produce, Kenton Kidd calling it a career March 29, 2005 FRESNO, CA " The term Renaissance man is frequently used to describe someone who has diverse talents and broad interests, and that is certainly an appropriate characterization of Kenton Kidd, who will retire April 1 from the California Apple Commission over which he has presided since its founding. As everyone who knows him will attest, he?s a great storyteller with a seemingly inexhaustible repertoire. His story-telling ability is enhanced by his resonant baritone voice and by his ability to switch effortlessly from a flawless Jimmy Stewart impression to a cartoon character impression and then, turning to the piano, a Little Richard-style vocal-and-keyboard performance. Born Nov. 6, 1939, in Shawnee, OK, Mr. Kidd got his first job in the grocery and produce business at age 15, working part time as a bag boy at Red Bud store in Oklahoma City. That was half a century ago, and since then his produce career has taken him from warehouse worker to wholesaler to retail buyer to packinghouse manager to commodity board executive. However, his career path nearly took a very different route. If one lived in or around Oklahoma in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he or she probably knew who the Continentals were. Mr. Kidd and three other vocalists, plus a guitarist, were the core of the group, and they performed what today would be called classic rock. Back then it was just plain old rock "n roll, a musical genre that was just coming into its own, and the Continentals were good enough to be offered record contracts by Decca and Dot, two of the big labels of the era.

The Sound of the Suburbs: A Case Study of Three Garage Bands in San Jose, California During the 1960s by Paul Kauppila INTRODUCTION/THE BEATLES The recent spate of articles, television specials, radio shows, and other observations of the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show attest to that moment's lasting significance in the history of popular music and popular culture. In an increasingly fragmented era of media consumption through multiple technological avenues, most prominently cable and pay television and the Internet, it is sometimes difficult to imagine the profound effect that a single television program could have in the year 1964. The tremendous popularity of the Beatles, coupled with an expanding and increasingly affluent middle class, led to an explosion of bands playing music in a style that eventually came to be known as "garage rock", although that term did not come into common usage until several years later.

  • How to Study Rock and Roll
    HOW TO STUDY ROCK AND ROLL OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How can teachers help students analyze and understand Rock and Roll? OVERVIEW Songs are like portals. Look into them and you can see the world in which they were made, see the social, cultural, and political landscapes that affected their making and their makers. For many listeners, however, it isn’t instinctual to approach music in this way. And it’s for good reason that this is the case — the personal, emotional response to music often overwhelms other ways of listening. This lesson is our effort to share some methods for bridging out from the personal/emotional response in order to contextualize songs and encourage critical thinking, hopefully giving teachers and students a sense for the rich possibilities around bringing popular music into the classroom. If putting songs against their backdrops is an aim here, it nonetheless makes sense to begin with the music itself, considering issues of song structure, instrumentation, production, and so forth. While the aim of Rock and Roll: An American Story is to explore the many ways in which Rock and Roll can be analyzed, it is the music that provides the reason and the energy for such an undertaking. The music then becomes a kind of launching pad for an approach that situates songs in their moment. It is our belief that to understand and discuss a song’s basic musical features does not require expertise in the field, just the love of music that got us all here in the first place. In this lesson we explore one song -- Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B.

  • Two Port City Musicians with Flowers in Their Hair
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic Two Port City musicians with flowers in their hair Alexandria Times, February 4, 2016 Image: Philip Blondheim, better known as Scott McKenzie of the Mamas and Popas. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. ne of the iconic songs of the counterculture movement in the 1960s was sung by Alexandria’s Philip Blondheim. Better known as Scott O McKenzie, Blondheim sang the vocals to “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair),” written by fellow Alexandrian John Phillips. Born in Jacksonville, Fla. in 1939, Blondheim and his family moved to Asheville, N.C., where his father died a few months after Philip’s second birthday. His mother moved to Washington, D.C. in early 1942 to find work in the war industries, but she initially couldn’t afford an apartment of her own, so Blondheim stayed with his grandmother and other family members until 1946, when he joined his mother in an Alexandria townhouse. Blondheim and Phillips, who later on gained fame with The Mamas and the Papas, both grew up in Alexandria in the mid-1950s and attended George Washington High School. They sang in separate vocal groups in the mid-1950s and met at a party hosted by Phillips at his apartment on Ramsey Alley. The two formed part of a quartet called The Abstracts, modeled after vocal quartets like The Four Freshmen and the Four Preps. They changed the name of the group to The Smoothies on their first trip to New York City at the suggestion of their new agent, and started to work in nightclubs.
