pacific northwest music legend: Stories Behind the Music -- What Was The First Rock N' Roll Record? - 09/05/08 12:28 PM

In fact, I think it might be impossible to answer that question -- What was the first rock record? Historians and pundits have guesses, and arguments that support their positions, as to what record was the first rock n' roll song. I have my own opinion, as to logical choices, and they are … (12 comments)

pacific northwest music legend: My Least Impressive, Most Impressive Moment - 09/01/08 09:36 AM

I had a funny experience, at least I thought it was funny. Especially among younger people, that means 30 somethings to me, many of them are into the old music of the 1960's. I guess they never really connected with the Backstreet Boys or that Spears girl. You find many of … (12 comments)

This is another in my series on Pacific Northwest Music Legends. Of all of the artists featured in the series, this artist has to be the most mystical and immortal in that select group.

Bands from the Pacific Northwest are credited with having had much to do with the proliferation of what were termed "garage bands" back in the 1960's. Bands such as Seattle's Fabulous Wailers and the Sonics, were among the best known in the genre. One of the first really big garage bands, … (2 comments)

pacific northwest music legend: Visionaries - 08/03/08 09:23 AM

In the field of invention I have often wondered what gave inspiration to those who came up with the great ideas. What made anyone think of harnessing electricity, or even having the insight to realize that it had the potential to be harnessed. Yeah, I know of Ben and the kite in … (1 comments)

pacific northwest music legend: Woodstock Was 39 Years Ago - 07/28/08 09:01 AM

This is not an angle I would have come up with on my own. The wife listens to NPR and they found it newsworthy that the Woodstock Music Festival was held nearly 40 years ago. If you are too young to remember, that was a huge outdoors rock concert in Bethel, New York … (15 comments)

pacific northwest music legend: Urban Anthropology: The Times They Were a Changin' - 07/20/08 08:44 PM

I have been getting a number of comments, and a few private Emails, about my series on Pacific Northwest Music Legends. These blogs have, also, been finding their way into the new Localism. This blog focuses on the evolution of folk music nationally and is not aimed at the Pacific Northwest.

pacific northwest music legend: Pacific Northwest Music Legends -- The Folkies - 07/20/08 09:42 AM

This is another in my series on Pacific Northwest Music Legends. In my radio days I once introduced this group at a concert. That was back in the 1970's.

Perhaps folk music is not the music you think of when Seattle comes to mind. Think again on that one because … (11 comments)

pacific northwest music legend: Pacific Northwest Music Legend -- Doo-wop - 07/13/08 11:44 AM

At this point in time, this is likely to be one of the lesser known acts I will be writing about in this series on Pacific Northwest music legends. On the other hand, they were big nationally, a #1 with a bullet act, in the pre-British invasion years.
Now, almost everyone … (11 comments)

pacific northwest music legend: Dispatches From The Land of Louie Louie - 06/27/08 02:45 AM

Some people who observe or visit our fair state of Washington think that we are weird. That is especially so if they attend a parade or a professional sporting event. There is an underlying musical anthem present here that encourages others to smirk at us. That anthem would best be described as "Louie … (16 comments)
