Johny Barbata The Legendary Life of a Rock Star Drummer Every now and then a great and unique life story comes along that has all the right elements in place to make it worth reading for anyone. This is a true story of intrigue and substance about a passionate and bold person, written in his naturally personable and affable style, teeming with the confidence of someone who really lived the life of which he writes. Johny Barbata. One of the greatest Rock & Roll drummers of all time his name is synonymous with the best in music was born in Passaic, New Jersey, April 1, 1945. Now, he shares the days and nights of his life as a star musician on the road with hit groups such as the Turtles; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Steven Stills, and Neil Young, as well as Jefferson Airplane; and Jefferson Starship. Already a established session drummer when he joined The Turtles, he was one of the pioneering drummers who converted pop music rhythms from the down-beat rhythms of the 195o's to the off-beat rhythms that have dominated ever since. Johny lived the high-life most people only dreamed about and he met challenges rarely experienced. In this first person narrative, he relates the stories that shaped his life, with behind-the-scenes and after-the-show details. The life and times of this superstar drummer and his encounters around the world are chronicled from his earliest days when he discovered music to the tour stops in Hollywood, Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, London, and beyond. This is the book you’ll want to read! Barbata’s drum rolls and background vocals helped to define the beat and sound on songs by some of the top rock bands in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, his stylized drum riffs are heard on more than 20-hit singles and over 100 albums. From a career that spanned the greatest years of rock-and-roll and shaped some of the hottest styles and music of the century, take an intimate and exciting look at the beloved groups and times. Other notable collaborations are: * Dave Mason * Booker T. Jones * The Everly Bro's. * Linda Rondstadt * Lee Michaels * John Sebastian * Johnny Rivers * Graham Nash * Joni Mitchell * Neil Young * Eric Clapton * Grace Slick * Leon Russell * Stephen Stills *David Crosby Review by Prof. Carl Rath; Professor of Music, OU .

Great Instrumental
I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

(Header by Sven Kramer) Welcome to this month's new readers, from several different countries. Please join in! We would love to hear from you. Not long to go now before Russ appears with Trevor Horn. There are links for Hckets below. Just in case you haven't got round to finding the Estoril videos on TouTube, I have found one for you. A big favourite and thanks to Ian for the video. ANer a couple of months' break while we had all the "Experience" and Estoril pieces, Dave is back working his magic on the cover stories. Scroll down to the end and you will find Russ's friend from Portugal, Vania and her band, with a very beauHful song wriSen by Russ and Chris Winter. Dave's 'history' arHcle is about the song, I Surrender. So many covers of it! We have included six video previews with some very different versions but look for several other links in amongst them. For the most different version, have a listen to Sue Ellen. And, guess who Russ has been meeHng up with....read on! Sue THIS MONTH FROM RUSS "Chris'an sent ‘It’s Good To Be Here’ to be mastered, which I’m glad to say, it now is. However, three weeks ago, while listening to song ideas from last year that I recorded on my phone, there was one chorus I par'cularly liked, (just piano & voice). Believe it or not, I decided to finish the song and record it. Ian Ramage from BMG (my label) phoned to say he wanted to send the album to other countries, for them to plan the release.

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 AUSTIN DE LONE An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2016 © 2016 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of Austin de Lone INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 17 pages INTERVIEW DATE: July 7th, 2016 In this oral history, musician and songwriter Austin de Lone recounts his musical career and his decades-long residence in Mill Valley. Born outside of Philadelphia in 1946, Austin started piano lessons at the age of 12 and took up the guitar at 16. In 1969, after a stint at Harvard, he formed the band Eggs Over Easy with Jack O’Hara and Brien Hopkins. Austin recounts being a young musician in New York and London in the late 1960s, pioneering what would subsequently be called “pub rock” in England. In 1972, he moved to Mill Valley with his band, and was immediately struck by the “fantastic mix” of people who then inhabited the town. Austin reminisces about Mill Valley’s bars in the 1970s, especially the Old Mill Tavern and the Sweetwater, and describes the local music scene during that culturally dynamic period. Austin concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family life and some reflections on how Mill Valley has changed since he made it his home. © All materials copyright Mill Valley Public Library.
