  • A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell's Kitchen Liner Notes
    Led Blimpie: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell’s Kitchen Liner Notes Originally begun as a 3 song demo, this project evolved into a full-on research project to discover the recording styles used to capture Zeppelin's original tracks. Sifting through over 3 decades of interviews, finding the gems where Page revealed his approach, the band enrolled in “Zeppelin University” and received their doctorate in “Jimmy Page's Recording Techniques”. The result is their thesis, an album entitled: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell's Kitchen. The physical CD and digipack are adorned with original Led Blimpie artwork that parodies the iconic Zeppelin imagery. "This was one of the most challenging projects I've ever had as a producer/engineer...think of it; to create an accurate reproduction of Jimmy Page's late 60's/early 70's analog productions using modern recording gear in my small project studio. Hats off to the boys in the band and to everyone involved.. Enjoy!" -Freddie Katz Co-Producer/Engineer Following is a track-by-track telling of how it all came together by Co-Producer and Led Blimpie guitarist, Thor Fields. Black Dog -originally from Led Zeppelin IV The guitar tone on this particular track has a very distinct sound. The left guitar was played live with the band through a Marshall JCM 800 half stack with 4X12's, while the right and middle (overdubbed) guitars went straight into the mic channel of the mixing board and then into two compressors in series. For the Leslie sounds on the solo, we used the Neo Instruments “Ventilator" in stereo (outputting to two amps).

Greene, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2008 In the United States during the 1920s and 1930s a loose-knit group of activists promoting what they called good music encountered the rise of commercial radio. Recognizing a tremendous resource, they sought to enlist radio in their cause, and in many ways were successful. However, commercial radio also transformed the activists, subverting an important part of their vision of a musical America: widespread preference for good music in the public at large.

    Spring 2016 & Spring Classes Catalogue The Journal of the San Geronimo Valley Community Center Valley Arts & Lectures Series Saves the Dates!!

Youth and Arts & Events programs. With Hannah Doress leaving the Center after a solid And Assistant MC Alexander McQuilkin! decade of incredible work, we needed time to explore how our Arts & Events programming was going to evolve. Saturday, March 19th, 4 PM In some brainstorming sessions we came up with the brand “Valley Arts and Lectures” (VAL). A question immediately arose, “How was VAL different than SGVCC Arts and Events”? Number one is that VAL events are always free. Number two, these events are open to all community members. Under this new heading, we have had great success with our initial events that include Open Mic on the first Friday of the month. Resurrecting the Kate Wolf Cafe, MC See has brought together an inspiring atmosphere with talent and passion. Each month a new performer is featured along with youths and adults performing to an appreciative audience. We were also fortunate to have Kate Munger talk about the work of the Threshold Choir that she founded in 2000. The Threshold Choirs (which have grown to 130 around the world) provides serene and comfort-directed singing at the bedsides of the dying and very ill.

  • Piero Terracina Was Born in Rome on September 5, 1956
    Piero Terracina was born in Rome on September 5, 1956. At the age of 14, between a ball game and a swim in the pool, listening to peers playing in a garage, one day saw abandoned in a corner of the premises a low EKO Florentine red Ferrari color ... It was a thunderbolt and from that moment on, the tool became his passion, along with writing. He then began studying electric bass (as it was possible to see the scarcity of studio instruments of the time) influenced by Grand Funk Railroad Mel Schacher, John Paul Jones of the Led Zeppelin and Jack Bruce of the Cream. A maternal aunt, with such enthusiasm and passion, with a gesture of generosity and affection gave him the first bass: a used Gibson EB0. In 1971, he was randomly the one who most influenced his approach to the electric bass: Chris Squire of Yes. From then on he sold his Gibson and bought, forcing his mother to sign a mountain of billboards, a beautiful RickenBacker 4001 JetGlo !! From that date for about five years, he studied the discography of Yes and, of course, the harmonic and rhythmic hysteria of the mythical Chris until a good evening of June 1976, among other things, he saw a concert of a guided band By a nice keyboard player with a basque and mustache, where a tall, funnyma boy and two hands similar to giant spiders dominated an old Fender Jazz Bass in the 1960's by creating harmonious sounds and lines that were never heard or thought in the past.
