  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Linn Lounge Presents Mark Knopfler
    Linn lounge presents Mark Knopfler Welcome to Linn Lounge presents… Mark Knopfler Tonight we’ll be telling the fascinating story of this talented singer-songwriter and guitarist, from his humble beginnings in Northumberland, his global success as the leader of Dire Straits through to his successful career as a solo artist. We’ll also be featuring Mark’s latest album, ‘Privateering’ in glorious studio master. A Studio Master download is the highest quality music file available anywhere. It allows you the listener to hear a recording exactly the way the original artist and producer intended it to sound, before it was altered to fit on a CD or squashed down to MP3 size. So sit back, relax and enjoy as we embark on a voyage through tonight’s musical journey. VIDEO – YOUTUBE – Lonnie Donnegan – Puttin’ on the style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW9KUeMaJRQ Play the full video – 2min 50 Mark Freuder Knopfler was born on 12 August 1949 in Glasgow, Scotland, to an English mother and Hungarian Jewish father—an architect whose anti-fascist sympathies forced him to flee from his native Hungary in 1939.[8] The family settled in Knopfler's mother's home town of Blyth, Northumberland, in North East England when he was 7 years old. Inspired by Lonnie Donegan and his uncle Kingsley's harmonica and boogie-woogie piano playing, he wanted to buy an expensive Fiesta Red Fender Stratocaster just like Hank Marvin's, but had to settle for a £50 imitation. Unfortunately in his haste he forgot to budget for an amp, and after trying to plug it into his parent’s home radio and blowing it up, he had to settle for playing it against something solid to vaguely hear the notes instead.

  • Quick, Timely Reads Reading in the Time of Coronavirus on the Waterfront
    Quick, Timely Reads Reading in the Time of Coronavirus On the Waterfront West Fourth Street Music Scene Let’s Be Friends, Sunbeam Bread, a​ nd the Ave Maria By David Frew November 2020 Dr. David Frew, a prolific writer, author, and speaker, grew up on Erie's lower west side as a proud "Bay Rat," joining neighborhood kids playing and marauding along the west bayfront. He has written for years about his beloved Presque Isle and his adventures on the Great Lakes. In a new series of articles for the Jefferson, the retired professor takes note of life in and around the water. Television was in its infancy during the 1950s and sets were rare. But thanks to my father being an electronics salesman, we had one of the first TVs in the neighborhood. It was a black and white (of course), table- top, Hallicrafter, which was about 24 inches long with a screen that was no more than 12 inches in diameter. We only received a single channel, WICU, and weekday broadcasting did not begin until suppertime. I did not particularly like the television. I preferred radio, especially since I had my own crystal tuner with an antenna hooked to my metal bed springs as well as an auxiliary wire leading out the bedroom window to a metal pole behind the house. Most evenings I could get mega-station broadcasts from Pittsburgh, Nashville, Cincinnati, Toronto, and Chicago. The VHF Hallicrafter TV set There was, however, one television program that I looked forward to, – a Sunday evening, locally produced variety show titled “Let’s Be Friends.” The show’s MC, Paul Dwyer, sang and danced as he introduced local talent.
