  • Mill Valley Oral History Program a Collaboration Between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library
    Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library David Getz An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2020 © 2020 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of David Getz INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 60 pages INTERVIEW DATE: January 9, 2020 In this oral history, musician and artist David Getz discusses his life and musical career. Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.

  • Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders Booklet
    THE WARNER BROS. LOSS LEADERS SERIES (1969-1980) Depending On How You Count Them, 34 Essential Various Artist Collections From Another Time We figured it was about time to pull together all of the incredible Warner Bros. Loss Leaders releases dating back to 1969 (and even a little earlier). For those who lived through the era, Warner Bros. Records was winning the sales of an entire generation by signing and supporting some of music’s most uniquely groundbreaking recording artists… during music’s most uniquely groundbreak- ing time. With an appealingly irreverent style (“targeted youth marketing,” it would be called today), WB was making lifelong fans of the kids who entered into the label’s vast catalog of art- ists via the Loss Leaders series—advertised on inner sleeves & brochures, and offering generous selections priced at $1 per LP, $2 for doubles and $3 for their sole 3-LP release, Looney Tunes And Merrie Melodies. And that was including postage. Yes… those were the days, but back then there were very few ways, outside of cut-out bins or a five-finger discount, to score bulk music as cheaply. Warners unashamedly admitted that their inten- tions were to sell more records, by introducing listeners to music they weren’t hearing on their radios, or finding in many of their (still weakly distributed) record stores. And it seemed to work… because the series continued until 1980, and the program issued approximately 34 titles, by our questionable count (detailed in later posts). But, the oldsters among us all fondly remember the multi-paged, gatefold sleeves and inviting artwork/packaging that beckoned from the inner sleeves of our favorite albums, not to mention the assorted rarities, b-sides and oddities that dotted many of the releases.

  • Shakin' All Over: Canadian Pop Music in the 1960S
    Shakin’ All Over: Canadian Pop Music in the 1960s. Written by Nicholas Jennings and directed by Gary McGroarty.1 video disc (90 min.): col., some b&w. Kelowna, BC: Filmwest Associates [http://indigo.filmwest.com], [2007?]. $195.00 Originally aired on CBC in January 2006, this film traces Canadian popular music, at least the kind rooted in rhythm and blues, rockabilly and folk, from the early sixties to the establishment of the Canadian Content rules for radio and television in 1971. The film consists of clips from close to sixty songs, dozens of interviews, and archival footage going all the way back to Ian and Sylvia Tyson discussing that epiphanous moment when they heard Dylan perform “Blowin’ in the Wind” in Greenwich Village to Crowbar playing “Oh What a Feeling” in the early 1970s at the “dawn of Cancon.” The Tysons realized they could also write their own tunes rather than exclusively performing traditional material. Hearing and seeing the duo perform their “Four Strong Winds” in a clip from about 1964, one realizes, though, just how proper the Canadians sounded in comparison to Dylan, with his scruffy and idiosyncratic whine. They may have taken their cue from him, but their musical manners were clearly of a different nature, suggesting a direction rooted more in the traditions of the British Isles than American folk. Ironically, when the Yorkville and Yonge Street music scenes begin to develop and there was talk of a Toronto sound in 1966, it was the music of Ronnie Hawkins, a transplanted American with a southern drawl who, at least according to the film, personified that sound.

  • 1. Glamticipations Rock Faces the 1970S
    1. glamticipations Rock Faces the 1970s The pause of 1970 was a strange moment. It was marked by the absence of creative movement in rock’s central core. It was equally due to the dangerous political climate that shattered the youth movement’s unity and thus drove rock away from its natural base. The breakup of bands, the deaths, the personal crises, the restless movement of performers, the record companies’ insistent attempts to pull out solo acts from ensemble bands so that they could be turned into superstars, all these led to a reconsideration of what constituted the stable unit for rock. —Philip Ennis (360) Sociologist Philip Ennis describes the year 1970 as a “pause point” in the development of rock music, which had enjoyed a decade of steady ascendance up to that time (344). But the social, political, and cultural disappointments of 1969 and 1970, including the Rolling Stones’ disastrous concert at Altamont; the shootings of student protesters at Kent State University; the dissolution of the Beatles as a group; the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones; the upheaval surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the resulting trial of the Chicago Seven all marked the point at which rock music could no longer serve as the soundtrack of the Vietnam era hippie counter- culture. After 1970, rock would have to proceed on different eco- nomic, political, social, and cultural bases. Ennis examines these issues in the American context, but the same disappointment and disaffection with the counterculture was spreading in the United Kingdom.

  • MAKING the SCENE: Yorkville and Hip Toronto, 1960-1970 by Stuart
    MAKING THE SCENE: Yorkville and Hip Toronto, 1960-1970 by Stuart Robert Henderson A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada October, 2007 Copyright © Stuart Robert Henderson, 2007 Abstract For a short period during the 1960s Toronto’s Yorkville district was found at the centre of Canada’s youthful bohemian scene. Students, artists, hippies, greasers, bikers, and “weekenders” congregated in and around the district, enjoying the live music and theatre in its many coffee houses, its low-rent housing in overcrowded Victorian walk- ups, and its perceived saturation with anti-establishmentarian energy. For a period of roughly ten years, Yorkville served as a crossroads for Torontonian (and even English Canadian) youth, as a venue for experimentation with alternative lifestyles and beliefs, and an apparent refuge from the dominant culture and the stifling expectations it had placed upon them. Indeed, by 1964 every young Torontonian (and many young Canadians) likely knew that social rebellion and Yorkville went together as fingers interlaced. Making the Scene unpacks the complicated history of this fraught community, examining the various meanings represented by this alternative scene in an anxious 1960s. Throughout, this dissertation emphasizes the relationship between power, authenticity and identity on the figurative stage for identity performance that was Yorkville. ii Acknowledgements Making the Scene is successful by large measure as a result of the collaborative efforts of my supervisors Karen Dubinsky and Ian McKay, whose respective guidance and collective wisdom has saved me from myself on more than one occasion.

  • David Hutchins Music
    david hutchins THE COMPLETE BIOGRAPHY “It was not unlike San Fransisco’s ‘Haight Ashbury’ or New York’s ‘Greenwich Village’ with it’s hippies, straights, LSD and grass, while the music played on!” Here’s a man with a history! It was the mid 1960s and a country kid from Schomberg, Ontario, Canada would begin his professional music career singing, playing lead guitar and performing in the band The Whiskey Sours. “Our time in ‘The Village’ along Toronto’s Yorkville Avenue was the coming together of musicians from across Canada and the US which would come to define in large part, the Canadian music scene. This is where it began.” On any given night you might find Gordon Lightfoot, John Kay (Steppenwolf), James Taylor, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Rick James, David Clayton Thomas (Blood Sweat & Tears), The Stampeders (Sweet City Woman), The Paupers, The Stitch In Tyme, Luke & The Apostles, The Ugly Ducklings, Ian and Sylvia and more, along that oneway street. “We all played a lot of those clubs and coffee houses with names like The El Patio, The Purple Onion, The Mynah Bird, The Penny Farthing, Chez Monique’s, Charlie Brown’s, Jacques, The Riverboat and just up the road, The Avenue Road Club. Toronto was a music mecca!” Upstarts at the time, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Procol Harum, Mothers Of Invention and David Bowie all played ‘The Rock Pile’ (the old Masonic Temple) on Younge Street, while Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks (who became The Band) owned downtown. The Beatles (“their first North American tour, floor seats twenty rows back, couldn’t hear a damned thing”), The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Jimmy Hendricks, Mamas and Pa- pas, The Jefferson Airplane and a long list of greats made Toronto a high priority.
