Wacka Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 On 3/28/2024 at 6:31 PM, The Frankish Reich said: Time for me to put in a plug for my favorite podcast ever: https://500songs.com/ A ridiculously ambitious project of one guy, Andrew Hickey. Even if you thought you knew the history or rock music front-to-back you'll learn things. For example, I never knew about his guy till I heard one of his paid bonus (1 buck a month!) episodes: Jackson C. Frank, from Buffalo, a survivor of the horrific Cheektowaga school fire (something else I never knew about even though it was not that long before my time). The Cleveland Hill school fire happened 70 yers ago this Easter. 15 kids were killed. Resulted in requiring emergency exits in classrooms and regular fire drills, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had relatives in Cheektowaga when I was a kid in the mid/late 60s. I can't believe I'd never heard about the fire until this year. Maybe people didn't want to talk about it?

Ralonzo Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Haven't quite scratched the Graham Gouldman itch. He wrote 3 seminal hits for the Yardbirds: Evil Hearted You, Heart Full Of Soul and this one: And one that might have been, but Jeff Beck took it solo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 One of the great groups of the early 1960s ... the Drifters (1962) and how different popular music sounded just a few years later ... the Byrds (1967) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was actually the first song I thought of to be the first song of this thread- it's absolutely gorgeous. After consulting my bandnamometer, I had to go with either The Electric Prunes or Strawberry Alarm Clock. Funny part 2... or is it trippy - I came to this thread because I've had The Yardbirds swirling around.... and Ralonzo's got them front and center.

Rod Stewart did the vocals with Ron Wood on bass. The album was given to me from a guy that roomed next to me in 1971 when I was in the the Air Force. I played Led Zepplin so much, he thought that I'd like Jeff Beck as well. Boy, was he right!! Check out the Truth album, if you haven't done it already. Rest in peace, Jeff! (PS: the song "Beck's Bolero" really rocks!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show was already fantastic, then the 'special guest star' shows up onstage... McGuinn with Petty!! He's got his 12 string Rickenbacker and they bust this one out, straight out of the gate Edited April 3 by BringMetheHeadofLeonLett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I just read an article in the paper about how the Woodstock Museum is currently working on a project where they are traveling around and meeting face to face with people who attended Woodstock to compile an oral history catalog on first hand experiences. It's important they do this now because that population is starting to age out and they want to separate facts v.s. myths while they still can. Pretty cool stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust Mark Zuckerberg, and commerce in general, to not completely screw this up (and copyright the screwed up experience), but one of these days there's going to be a Woodstock Experience Simulator.
