Description: The Lovin' Spoonful was an American pop rock band of the 1960s, named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band's name was inspired by some lines in a song of Mississippi John Hurt (More) The Lovin' Spoonful was an American pop rock band of the 1960s, named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. The band's name was inspired by some lines in a song of Mississippi John Hurt called the "Coffee Blues". The Lovin' Spoonful became part of the American response to the British Invasion. The Lovin' Spoonful became part of the American response to the British Invasion and was noted for such folk-flavored hits as "Jug Band Music", "Do You Believe in Magic", "You Didn't Have to be So Nice", and "Daydream". Putting an "anti-drug" spin on the traditional folk song "Blues in the Bottle", the Lovin' Spoonful endeared themselves to radio stations across the United States. Soon they were a cross-over hit, topping both rock-and-roll and country charts with "Nashville Cats". Other hits were "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind", "Six O'Clock", and "Younger Girl". Their only song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart was the hard-edged "Summer in the City". (Less) Channel: 123video

Hardin, Albert Lee, Hank Devito, Emmylou, Emory Gordy, Jr., Rodney Crowell Popular myth has it that Emmylou was discovered by Gram Parsons and rushed off to LA & stardom. The reality is a little different and interviews with Emmylou and others suggest the following. Chris Hillman credits Rick Roberts with telling him to go and see Emmylou. Chris met Emmylou and he later invited her to join the Flying Burrito Brothers. However, the Burritos broke up shortly afterwards and Emmylou continued to play clubs in and around Washington DC. In September 1971 Chris Hillman persuaded a reluctant Gram Parsons to see Emmylou play at a club called Clydes where she had a gig for 3 nights a week. They worked up and performed two songs; I Fall To Pieces & Thats All It Took. Gram Parsons, by now converted, then left Emmylou with promises of some recording work on his forthcoming album. Their meeting was followed by a gap of about a year. During that time Emmylou carried on playing in bars and getting the occasional phone from Gram to say that the recording would happen any time now. Finally, Gram sent Emmylou an airline ticket and invited her to sing on GP. The album was released in January 1973 and Emmylou spent $500 made from GP on a brand new D28 guitar and joined the tour band, The Fallen Angels, formed to promote the album. In Summer 1973 Gram recorded Grievous Angel but, unfortunately he died in September of that year. Emmylou returned to Washington and fronted her own band, The Angel Band, playing as many as four sets a night with a repertoire of over 40 songs. In 1974, Mary Martin at Warners arranged for Emmylou to meet producer Brian Ahern. Warners agreed to sign her on condition that Ahern produced the album and Emmylou signed with Warners in October 1974. Her first Warners album Pieces Of The Sky was recorded with a mixture of The Angel Band and many of the musicians from the Gram Parsons albums. Warners then told her to "get a hot band", which she did by persuading James Burton, Glen Hardin, John Ware, Rodney Crowell, Hank de Vito and Emory Gordy to form The Hot Band. In Spring 1975 the newly formed band rehearsed in LA without James Burton or Glen Hardin, who both had commitments with Elvis. The missing Hot Band members drove up overnight after the Elvis show finished and had just one rehearsal with the full line-up. The band then took one night off for a birthday party for Emmylou in a Mexican restaurant. They then played three nights at the Boarding House, San Francisco in with their first appearance as Emmylou Harris and The Hot Band taking place on April 3rd, 1975. The rest, as they say, is history. James Burtons stint as lead guitarist came to an end when Albert Lee joined the band. Albert Lee saw Emmylou at a club called the Laguna Bowl in early 1976 and Emmylou planned to ask him to join the Band when James Burton left. This plan was accelerated when James Burton fell ill with flu and Albert Lee first played with The Hot Band at The Branding Iron in San Bernadino in February 1976. Frank Reckard replaced Albert Lee two years later and stand-ins over the years for 1-off gigs have included Bob Warford, Jay Lacey and Vince Gill. All of the Hot Bands line-ups were outstanding in their own way. Phil Kaufman has said of Gram Parsons "He told her always to pay for the best and she'd play with the best." Warners fronted the money for The Hot Band but the venture is said to have put Emmylou $125,000 in debt. Few fans would dispute that it was money well spent. There are recordings around of all the various line-ups but even the roughest recordings of the Hot Band show that they were in a league of their own and set a benchmark for all Country groups. The recent Goldmine article differs slightly but not drastically. After all these years who is to say which is correct? Most of my info was taken from interviews with Emmylou & various Hot Band Members in 1975/6 in the UK magazine Omaha Rainbow Chris Baker UAM Ltd Phone +44 1705 870181 Fax +44 1705 870229 from left: Barry Tashian, John Ware, Steve Fishell, Wayne Goodwin, Don Johnson, Frank Reckard, Mike Bowden, EmmylouThe Hot Band Harris met Canadian producer Brian Ahem, who produced her major label debut album, Pieces of the Sky, released in 1975 on Reprise Records. The album included a number of cover songs, including The Beatles' "For No One" and Harris's first hit single, The Living Brothers' "If I Could Only Win Your Love". In 1977 Harris married Ahem and had another daughter, Meghann, in 1979. Harris and Ahem divorced in 1984. Executives of Warner Bros Records (Reprise Records' parent company) told Harris they would agree to record her if she would "get a hot band". Harris did so, enlisting guitarist James Burton and pianist Glen Hardin, both of whom had played with Elvis Presley as well as Parsons. Hardin had also been a member of Buddy Holly's band The Crickets. Other members were drummer John Ware, singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell on guitar, pedal steel guitarist Hank DeVito, and bassist Emory Gordy Jr with whom Harris had worked while performing with Parsons.[1] Later, bluegrass multi-instrumentalist and singer Ricky Skaggs became a member, as did English guitarist Albert Lee who replaced James Burton. Vince Gill was featured as well. Harris' subsequent Elite Hotel (1975), Luxury Liner (1977), and Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town (1978) were all successful country albums but also had appeal for rock listeners. Country music was experiencing crossover success at the time, and the approach of many country artists was to try to marry their music with smooth, L.A.-style pop, but Harris had more of a rock and roll sensibility and so aimed her music more in that direction. But Harris still embraced country. Her Grammy Award-winning 1979 gold-certified album Blue Kentucky Girl featured straight Loretta Lynn/Kitty Wells-style country and included Harris' #1 smash "Beneath Still Waters", while 1980's Roses in the Snow was another gold-certified collection of bluegrass and country material, featuring Ricky Scags, Tony Rice, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Douglas. [admirer collaborationist] In addition to her own solo work during this period, Harris began a number of ongoing collaborative relationships with other artists, many of which she would revisit throughout the course of her career. A Christmas album, Light of the Stable, was released in 1979; its title track featured backing vocals by Dolly Patton, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Young, all three of whom Harris had been working with sporadically since the mid-1970s. She later recorded two albums, Trio and Trio II, with Patton and Ronstadt (as well as a number of singles), a duet album with Ronstadt, and a number of various projects with Young. In addition, her vocals were prominently featured on Bob Dylan's 1975 Desire album. She also worked with The Band during this period, appearing in their film The Last Waltz. In 1980, Harris recorded "That LVN' You Feline' Again" with Roy Orbison. The duet was a Top 10 hit on both the Country and Adult Contemporary charts. They would win the Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance (Less) Channel: 123video

They found one in a San Francisco group named "The (More) When moderate interest in this new "band" arose, Sloan and Barri went to look for a group that could incorporate The Grass Roots name. They found one in a San Francisco group named "The Bedouins" and cut a new version with that band's lead vocalist, Willie Fulton. In 1965, the Grass Roots got their first official airplay on Southern California radio stations, such as KGB(AM) in San Diego and KHJ in Los Angeles with a version of the Bob Dylan song, "Mr. Jones (Ballad Of A Thin Man)." For some months, The Bedouins were the first "real" Grass Roots but the partnership with Sloan and Barri broke up when the band demanded more space for their own more blues rock-oriented material (which their producers were not willing to give them). Willie Fulton, Denny Ellis and David Stensen went back to San Francisco, with drummer Joel Larson the only one who remained (he was to become a member of a later Grass Roots line-up, as well). In the meantime, the second version of "Where Were You When I Needed You" peaked at #28 in mid-1966; an album of the same name sold poorly, probably because there were no Grass Roots anymore to promote it at the time of its release. The years of success The group's third and by far most successful incarnation was finally found in a Los Angeles band, called "The 13th Floor" (not to be confused with the 13th Floor Elevators). This band consisted of Creed Bratton, Rick Coonce, Warren Entner and Rob Grill and had formed only a year earlier before submitting a demo tape to Dunhill Records. The band was offered the choice to go with their own name or choose to adopt a name that had already been heard of nationwide. They had their first top 10 hit with "Let's Live For Today" in the summer of 1967 as The Grass Roots. With Rob Grill as lead singer, they recorded a third version of "Where Were You When I Needed You." The band continued in a similar hit-making vein for the next five years. In the beginning, they were one of many U.S. guitar pop/rock bands, but with the help of Barri and their other producers, they developed a unique sound for which they drew as heavily on British beat as on soul music, rhythm and blues and folk rock. Many of their recordings featured a brass section, which was a novelty in those days among American rock bands, with groups like Chicago just developing. The Grass Roots hits of these times include "Feelings" (1968), "Midnight Confessions" (1969), "Sooner Or Later" (1971), "Temptation Eyes" (1971), "Things I Should Have Said" (1967), "Wait A Million Years" (1969), "The River Is Wide" (1969), "Baby Hold On" (1969), "Heaven Knows" (1969), "Lovin' Things" (1969), "Walking Through The Country" (1970), "Bella Linda" (1969) (composed and originally performed by Italian superstar Lucio Battisti as "Balla Linda") and "Two Divided By Love" (1972). The bulk of the band's material continued to be written by Dunhill Records staff (not only Sloan and Barri). The Grass Roots also recorded songs written by the group's musicians, which appeared on their albums and the B-sides of many hit singles. In 1969, Creed Bratton left and was replaced by Dennis Provisor on keyboards and vocals, plus rotating lead guitarists Terry Furlong and Brian Naughton to form a quintet the first of many line-up changes that the band was to be subject to. In 1971, Rick Coonce, Terry Furlong, Brian Naughton and Dennis Provisor left and were replaced by Reed Kailing, Virgil Weber and original member Joel Larson. The singer/songwriter/guitarist duo of Warren Entner (later a successful heavy metal manager) and Rob Grill remained the point of focus in all these years. [edit] The final years From 1970 on, success slipped away slowly but surely. The Grass Roots had their last top 10 hit with "Sooner Or Later" in June, 1971, and success with "Two Divided By Love" not long after. Their final two hits in 1972 were "The Runway" and "Glory Bound." Follow-up singles sold disappointingly or failed to chart altogether - it was clear that their time was over. The 1976 single, "Out In The Open," became their swan song, with the band having disbanded the previous autumn. Rob Grill remained in the music business and launched a solo career in 1979 (assisted on his solo album by several members of Fleetwood Mac). When interest in bands of the 1960s began to rise again in the 1980s, Grill reformed The Grass Roots (now as "The Grass Roots Starring Rob Grill") and toured the United States. He had continued to lead the band into the new millennium and is the voice of The Grass Roots, playing many live performances up to the present day. In 2006, former manager Marty Angelo published a book entitled, "Once Life Matters: A New Beginning" which has numerous stories about his life on the road with Rob Grill and the Grass Roots back in the early 1970s.

Don & Phil were actually Johnny's summer replacement show, which was the same as the title of this set. Barnaby had reissued the long out-of-print Cadence sides & Warners just had the hits packages in print, so this was a kind of updating of the catalog, done live 2/6/70. Most interesting is a 18 min medley including Rock'n'Roll Music amidst such tunes as The End (Beatles, not Doors), If I Were A Carpenter & The Thrill Is Gone. And in listening to Walk Right Back, you can hear how Neil Young cribbed it for Harvest Moon! (Less) Channel: 123video

Description: The Nolans, previously billed as The Nolan Sisters are siblings from Ireland, who reached the peak of their success as a vocal act in the late 1970s and early 1980s.+++++++++++++++++++Career The (More) The Nolans, previously billed as The Nolan Sisters are siblings from Ireland, who reached the peak of their success as a vocal act in the late 1970s and early 1980s.+++++++++++++++++++Career The Nolan family consisted of Irish parents Tommy and Maureen (both singers), six daughters and two sons. The family moved from Dublin to Blackpool in 1962 and three years later their youngest daughter was born. "The Singing Nolans" toured the Northern club circuit for several years as a full family unit, before the five eldest girls broke away to form The Nolan Sisters in the early 1970s. The original line up of The Nolan Sisters consisted of: Anne (born 12 November 1950) Denise (born 9 April 1952) Maureen (born 14 June 1954) Linda (born 23 February 1959) Bernie (born Bernadette Therese 17 October 1960) The sisters became popular on variety programs on British television during the 1970s and released several records featuring their versions of various popular songs. In 1978 they released an LP on Target Records containing their own versions of twenty well-known songs entitled 20 Giant Hits, which reached the Top 3 on the U.K. album chart. They also supported Engelbert Humperdinck on a successful tour around the United States, and came fourth in the "A Song For Europe" competition with the Hawaiian-flavoured "Harry my Honolulu Lover." The group was subsequently signed to Epic Records (a division of CBS). It was around this time that Denise left the group to pursue a solo career. She was replaced with the youngest member of the family, Coleen (born 12 March 1965).The "Epic" years The period during which the group were signed to Epic (1979-1984) was their most commercially successful. Their first Top 40 single ("Spirit, Body and Soul") was issued in 1979 and was taken from their self-titled album (called in Japan「恋のハッピーデート(koino-happy-date)」). These would mark their last releases under the name "The Nolan Sisters." At the end of 1979, the group released the disco-flavoured single "I'm In The Mood For Dancing;(called in Japan「ダンシング･シスター(dancing-sister)」" which became their signature tune, as well as a huge hit for the quintet. It shot to the U.K. Top 3 and became a success all over the world, particularly in Japan (where the group would remain popular for many years). The single was taken from their Nolan Sisters album (although "I'm In The Mood For Dancing" marked their first release under which they were simply billed "The Nolans"). Shortly after this time Anne Nolan left the group to have a baby, making The Nolans a four-piece. Success continued into 1980 with the singles "Don't Make Waves" (#12) and "Gotta Pull Myself Together" (#9). These tracks were later found on the album Making Waves, released towards the end of the year. This album spent more weeks on the U.K. chart (33 in total) than any other Nolans release. The album also spawned two more Top 20 singles - "Who's Gonna Rock You" (#12, 1980), and "Attention To Me" (#9, 1981). The former was co-written by Billy Ocean. 1981 also saw the release of a new single - "Chemistry" (#15), which would later appear on the 1982 album Portrait. This album would become their second Top 10 and also provided their final Top 20 single "Don't Love Me Too Hard" (#14). It's follow-up, "Crashing Down" rather ironically, failed to chart, as did the remainder of their singles on the Epic label. Towards the end of the year, a compilation album entitled Altogether was released, containing all of their hit singles on the Epic label. It sold in moderation. The Nolans achieved success in Europe, Australia and New Zealand but their biggest success was in Japan, where several of their songs reached number one. They are famous for outselling The Beatles in Japan. By the time Altogether was released, Anne Nolan had re-joined the group and they begun to tour as a five-piece again for a while before Linda left in 1984 to marry the group's ex tour manager Brian Hudson, and to pursue a cabaret-based solo career. She was nicknamed the "Naughty Nolan" after launching her career with a near-naked publicity shot.+++++++++++++++Post success era Since breaking away from Epic, The Nolans have been signed to several record labels (mostly minor ones). The remainder of their work in the 1980s mostly consisted of cover versions of popular songs (their Epic label albums had generally consisted of some covers plus some original songs). An album of covers entitled "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was released on Towerbell Records in 1984 and became their final U.K. Top 40 album. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s the foursome continued to perform together as well as concentrating on their own solo projects. They remained popular in the far east and in 1992 became the first British group to be awarded the Tokubstsu Kikaku Sho (Japanese Grammy) for best foreign recording artist. They also did a four week tour of the country (during which time they found themselves appearing on a nude television show!) and signed a six-album deal there. Major changes came to the group in 1994 when Coleen left the group to have a baby, and Bernie (who had been the lead singer of the group since she was 13) left to pursue an acting career. At this point The Nolans simply consisted of Anne and Maureen.++++++++++++++Current line-up As of 2004, the line-up consists of Maureen and Anne, together with Anne's daughter Amy and her cousin Julia. Their act is largely cabaret, and they perform throughout Europe in clubs and also, particularly, in Japan. The group disbanded in 2005 when Maureen moved into Musical Theatre. The other sisters have continued to work in showbusiness. Bernadette is an actress who has played a continuing role in the police drama The Bill, and also had long term part in Brookside. Bernie tours in Mums The Word in early 2007 and returns to Blackpool North Pier in Soap quenns in the summer months. Coleen is a television presenter, and Denise and Linda have toured with a production of Blood Brothers after completing a successful West End run in London. Linda toured with Prisoner Cell Block H - The Musical. Maureen has also appeared as Mrs Johnstone in the West End version of Blood Brothers, the 4th Nolan to do so earning recognition from Guinness World Records. Maureen has a full diary for 2007. Linda continues to tour in Blood Brothers - her 7th year in the role. After completing two successful tours of "The Magic Of Judy Garland" Denise Nolan joins the tour of "The Rat Pack Is Back" reprising her Judy Garland tribute as the show's special guest. The original line up on The Nolans (minus Denise) recently reunited to sing on the TV show Loose Women. They sung "I'm In The Mood For Dancing" on August 9th 2007's Episode and, although they do not plan to get back together any time soon, they revealed that they would "never say never".

(More) The Palestinian Exile, also known as Al Nakba (Arabic for "The Catastrophe"), refers to the ethnic cleansing of native Palestinian peoples ... all » during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
From December 1947 until November 1948, Zionist forces (namely the Irgun, Lehi, Haganah terrorist gangs) expelled approximately 750, 000 indigenous Palestinians--almost 2/3 of the population--from their homes.
Hundreds of Palestinians were also murdered for refusing to leave their homes. The most notable massacre is the Deir Yassin Massacre, in which an estimated 120 Palestinian civilians were brutally murdered by an Irgun-Lehi force. Other massacres include the ones at Sahila (70-80 killed), Lod (250 killed), and Abu Shusha (70 killed). About 40 other massacres were carried out by Zionist forces in just the summer of 1948.
Not only did Zionist forces conduct massacres of Palestinian civilians, rape occured as well. According to Israeli historian Benny Morris, "In Acre four soldiers raped a girl and murdered her and her father. In Jaffa, soldiers of the Kiryati Brigade raped one girl and tried to rape several more. At Hunin, which is in the Galilee, two girls were raped and then murdered. There were one or two cases of rape at Tantura, south of Haifa. There was one case of rape at Qula, in the center of the country. At the village of Abu Shusha, near Kibbutz Gezer [in the Ramle area] there were four female prisoners, one of whom was raped a number of times. And there were other cases. Usually more than one soldier was involved. Usually there were one or two Palestinian girls. In a large proportion of the cases the event ended with murder. Because neither the victims nor the rapists liked to report these events, we have to assume that the dozen cases of rape that were reported, which I found, are not the whole story. They are just the tip of the iceberg."
During Al Nakba, Palestinians were murdered, raped, and ethnically cleansed from their villages. According to Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe, "In a matter of seven months, 531 villages were destroyed and 11 urban neighborhoods emptied."
Palestinians were forced into were forced out of Palestine and into neighboring countries (i.e. Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan), where they lived in refugee camps. Many were also sent to camps in West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Most Palestinian towns were demolished and taken by the newly established Israeli government to make room for new Jewish immigrants. Old Palestinian infrastructures, as well as many ruins dating back from the Canaanites, Romans, Greeks, Crusaders, Arabs, and Ottoman Turks were completely destroyed. This signified the end of historical Palestine and the birth of modern-day Israel.
Al Nakba marked the beginning of the Palestinian refugee crisis. Al Nakba destroyed a thriving and diverse Palestinian society and scattered them into diaspora. According to the UNRWA, the number of registered Palestinian refugees today is approximately 4.5 million. These refugees are dispersed throughout the world, many of which are still living in poverty-stricken refugee camps. Today, the situation keeps worsening and thousands die from malnutrition, contaminated water, or scarce medical supply.
Israel has since refused to allow Palestinian refugees to return to their homes, and has refused to pay them compensation as required by UN Resolution 194, which was passed on December 11, 1948.
Historically, the Israeli government, Israeli schools, and Israeli historians have denied that Al Nakba has occured. However, The New Historians, a loosely-defined group of Israeli historians, have recently published information recognizing the Al Nakba tragedy and controversial views of matters concerning Israel, particularly events concerning its birth in 1948. Much of their material comes from recently declassified Israeli government papers. Leading scholars in this school include Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, and Tom Segev. Many of their conclusions have been attacked by other scholars and Israeli historians, who continue deny Al Nakba even occured (Less) Channel: youtube

Last fall, mudslides and torrential rains caused considerable damage to the trails and pathways up the mountain. Trees came crashing down, roadways were washed away and parts of the mountain were left in shambles. This summer, a group of teenaged volunteers from all over the country is spending their vacation cutting roots, moving rocks, putting in water bars and redefining the trails that were completely lost, through a program called "Save the Trails." Funded by a grant in excess of a quarter million dollars, it allows the students to spend long days in the great outdoors learning new skills and making new friends. By the end of the summer, they will have restored 120 miles of trail in 14 parks across the country, including the damage that was done at Mount Rainer.
