Stone Poneys Stone Poneys By BRUCE BOBEBTS Cllroalcle Bock Edlter U Days ·activities will reach an entertaining climax to­ morrow night when Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Poneys and Holden Caulfield perform in a Stomp Concert at 8 in the Union Ballroom. The Stone Poneys, who have been together now for nearly a year, will be making their first appearance in Salt Lake City. The group boasts one of the quickest success stories in the recording business, after becoming an overnight sensation upon the release of "Different Drums," their first' big l;ingle. The Stone Poneys followed up with another single, "High Muddy Water," and have released three albums on the Capitol label. The biggest compliment ever pa~d to The Stone Poneys is their 1'3ting with an elite number of groups who are char­ acterized by a driving female lead singer. In the tradition of Janis Joplin of Big BrothP.r and The Holding Company and Grace Slick of The Jefferson Airplane, Linda Ronstadt of The Stone Poneys is what makes the group go. Linda, who was raised in a music-minded .family, provides the far reaching vocal power for the Stone Poneys. Her ap­ pearance goes along with her singing, as Linda's stage per­ formance seems to draw in. the audience. Her long black hair and her big brown eyes once caused a friend to describe her as, "Peter Pan still in search of Shadow." Unlike the Joplin and Slick power of driving the audience into a frenzie, Linda Ronstadt is in search of honesty and love in her music. She is a great admirer of the two queens of San Francisco rock ,saying, "They have the ability to communicate love, and move everyone musically. That's something really wonderful, and I hope that we can do that with our music, too." Linda grew up singing with her family, but didn't think about a professional career until she figured her life at the University of Arizona was a waste of her time. So off she went to Los Angeles, where she teamed up with two other Arizonans to form the Stone Poneys. The originator of the group, Bob Kimmel, is still leading the Stone Poneys, playing rhythm guitar. The latest member of the group is Kenneth Edwards, who plays lead guitar. The Stone Poneys' first recording, "Sweet Summer Blue and Gold," was the start of a long and prosperous contract with Columbia Records. Since then, everything has been a success, including road engagements. A big eastern tour with top performances at the Cafe A Go Go in New Y:ork and Club 47in Boston led to national popularity. The Stone Poneys will only be half the show tomorrow night, however. Also featured will be Holden Caulfield, widely acclaimed as Salt Lake's most popular group. Holden Caulfteld has been around Salt Lake for over a year now, and has gone through changes that always seem to leave the group a little bit better than its last performance. Following the current popularity of Blue Cheer, Cream, and Jimi Hendrbc, Holden Caulfield has reduced its number to three, and today sound better than ever. In the past, they have done some excellent versions of Cream and Buffalo Springfield music, and have iately gone in­ to iheir own arrangements. Some outstanding instrumental perfol'I!l!Ulces by Holden Caulfield should make for a great combination with Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. c~ .

    July 31, 2021 Running a bit late today, but it couldn't be helped. The movie ended at church around 10:30 PM, and then clean-up, it was after midnight before I got to bed. This is probably early. Today is the final day of baseball for my grandsons, so I'll be heading over for the games that begin at 8:30 today. All three boys were in VBS this week, so it was a bonus to able to see all of them every day. The older they get, the less opportunity there will be to see them, especially together. We were trying to schedule some type of vacation together this year with everyone, but it hasn't worked out yet. I'll keep praying for a family vacation in 2022. Last year we were all praying for 2021 to arrive, and it was slightly better after a few months, now things are looking sketchy again, and we're back to praying for another year to come. Every day I pray for an end to this virus, and all of its mutations. It seems that there is a new variant every few weeks. Please join me in praying that our God, Who has complete power and control of all things would bring an end to this global calamity. Pray to Him in the name of Jesus, Who gave up everything to give us everything. In His name God the Father hears all of our prayers, make yours heard today. Some of the most important words in our lives should be "In the name of Jesus," start your morning with Him today.

  • “Heart Like a Wheel”—Linda Ronstadt (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Heart Like a Wheel”—Linda Ronstadt (1974) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label Peter Asher Linda Ronstadt’s 1974 album “Heart Like a Wheel” was her fifth as a solo artist. And though she had previously enjoyed some chart success with the group The Stone Poneys (their recording of “Different Drum” was a hit in 1967) and achieved some success as a solo artist in 1970 with the song “Long Long Time,” “Heart Like a Wheel” is considered her breakthrough album and, to some, her career masterwork. Considering Ronstadt’s “Heart” success, musically and commercially, it is not surprising that it was this album that also marked the first time Ronstadt had an entire album steered by music producer extraordinaire Peter Asher. Asher, a former performer (he was the Peter in Peter & Gordon), began managing and producing other performers in late 1960s. One of his first clients was a young troubadour named James Taylor. In the early ‘70s, after an introduction by Taylor’s sister, Kate, Asher began managing and producing Linda Ronstadt. Once joined up with Ronstadt, Asher and the California-based singer soon became something of a dynamic duo. “Heart” marked the beginning of a long and extraordinarily successful collaboration; every subsequent album Ronstadt would ever record with Asher—all 13 of them-- would eventually be certified either gold or platinum. Since her debut on vinyl with the Stone Poneys and as a solo act via her early albums “Hand Sown…Home Grown” (1969), “Silk Purse” (1970) and “Linda Ronstadt” (1972), Ronstadt had been working steadily in pushing the country genre toward the pop mainstream.

The meaning of the songs isn't lost in a flash of words as it is with so many other of our contemporary songwriters either. Joni puts words together that not only sound good but are meaningful. She doesn't tease us with phrases that first seem t o say something, but don't stand upunder further analysis.

    SRO Artists, Inc. http://www.sroartists.com | [email protected] PHONE: (608) 664.8160 FAX: (608) 664.8161 ARTIST BIO: KARLA BONOFF (revised 11/2010) p. 1 of 2 Born and raised in Southern California, Karla Bonoff was a songwriter by the age of fifteen. She and her sister Lisa were writing songs and playing as a duo titled "The Daughters of Chester P" named after their father, Dr. Chester Paul Bonoff. She had already fallen in love with the guitar and studied with Frank Hamilton of the famous folk group, The Weavers. By 16, Karla and her sister Lisa auditioned for Elektra Records. An 11-song demo [recorded by Doors' engineer Bruce Botnick] was recorded but no deal came of this first effort. Karla's sister became a teacher of history and religion, but Karla's passion was always music. She became friends with other singer-songwriters and musicians [in the '60s] who were creating their own unique sound. She talks about lining up at the legendary Troubadour at noon on Mondays to get a slot in the famous Monday night Troubadour "hoot," which was a breaking ground for many artists who went on to great success. She says, "It was an amazing time. Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Elton John were around the Troubadour in those days." There were some other writer-singers who became friends of Karla's, and eventually, they decided to put a band together. They were Kenny Edwards, (who had started the Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt and Bobby Kimmel), Wendy Waldman, and Andrew Gold.

  • Women in Rock OLLI Berkeley Course Material
    Syllabus for Women in Rock: From the 1950s to the 1980s Instructor: Richie Unterberger, [email protected] OLLI Berkeley Week One: Women in Rock: The Early Years and The Girl Groups In the 1950s, rhythm and blues singers like Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker have some of the first rock’n’roll hits; Wanda Jackson and the Collins Kids are top rockabilly acts; and Brenda Lee becomes the first woman rock superstar. As New York’s Brill Building becomes established as the top place for rock publishers, women like Carole King, Cynthia Weil, and Ellie Greenwich become some of pop-rock’s most successful songwriters. Girl groups like the Shirelles, the Crystals, the Ronettes, the Chiffons, and the Cookies have numerous hits in the early 1960s, forming one of the major trends in rock of the period. In the early 1960s, some of the most R&B-oriented girl groups become some of the first soul stars, especially for Motown Records, with the Marvelettes, Martha & the Vandellas, the Supremes, and Mary Wells. Week Two: Women in Soul and British Rock Women soul singers emerge throughout the country, some of them more pop-oriented (Maxine Brown, Dionne Warwick), some of them earthier (Carla Thomas, Irma Thomas, Etta James). Aretha Franklin is anointed the Queen of Soul after moving to Atlantic Records and adopting a tougher, more spiritual sound. Other women soul singers with a forceful style emerge and increase in popularity, like Gladys Knight, Nina Simone, and the Staple Singers. Although all-male guitar bands dominate the British Invasion, a good number of women singers also make an impact both in their native UK and in the US.

This program is intended to serve as both a guide to our whole 2016-17 season, as well as a program for a very special evening: “The Music of Linda Ronstadt: A Benefit for Parkinson's Research.” As some of you know, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2013. Three years in, I struggle with things I used to take for granted, like reaching into my pocket or signing my name. But while I’m living with Parkinson’s, the emphasis is on living.
