  • ROGER Mcguinn
    ROGER McGUINN Biography Jim McGuinn, later known as Roger, was already a veteran of the New York and Los Angeles music scene when he co-founded the group that would become the Byrds with Gene Clark and David Crosby in 1964. Prior to forming the Byrds, Roger toured and performed folk music with the Limeliters, Chad Mitchell Trio and Bobby Darin as a guitarist and banjo player. He was also the musical director and guitarist on Judy Collins #3. McGuinn, a Chicago native, studied at the Old Town School of Folk Music and was active on Chicago's folk scene, where he was strongly influenced as a teenager by Bob Gibson. Within a few weeks of finishing high school, McGuinn was working with the Limeliters in California, playing guitar and banjo on their album "Tonight: In Person." McGuinn is also on the Chad Mitchell Trio's albums: "Mighty Day on Campus" and The Chad Mitchell Trio at the Bitter End After touring for awhile with singer Bobby Darin, McGuinn moved to New York at Darin's request to work for his publishing company, TM Music, in the fabled Brill Building as a songwriter. He and Frank Gari co wrote the song "Beach Ball" and performed it with Darin, as the City Surfers, on a very rare single, July 1963. After hearing the Beatles for the first time at the Brill Building, Roger began playing folk songs to a rock beat in the coffee houses of Greenwich Village. His experiments in merging folk and rock didn't please the folk purist, so he moved to Los Angeles to work at the Troubadour.

    Open to the Public: 2014 Programming Comments Closed Captioning Issues Received on January 2, 2014 from LA I'm up late and I watch Nova and other shows that come on and enjoy them. The closed captions are either flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second making it impossible to read. When it does stay on longer, often it is a mess of misspellings, sometimes containing random symbols like, &@??#%, or even what looks like plain gibberish. I am not hearing impaired, but sometimes I need help to follow the dialogue. Could you please correct this? I have tried to find a contact with PBS but never could find an email address. So I'm contacting you. Please correct this. Thank you, Michael XXX Programming Complaint Received on January 6, 2014 from MA I am a Harvard affiliated specialist in Endocrinology. I am a long term contributor to my local station WGBH. I am appalled by your granting Dr. Perlmutter an hour for what was effectively an infomercial, worthy of a back channel cable network. There was a mis-statement in virtually every sentence so I cannot catalog them here, but the fact is that there is ample medical verification that eating sugar does not produce diabetes, that neither eating carbohydrates nor sugar itself is associated with dementia, and that diabetics do not have an amplified risk of diabetes. Gluten sensitivity is the disease du jour, and irrelevant to any of the above. How on earth was this material selected for broadcast ? Am I the only physician to call this to your attention ?
