TAKING SCIENCE APART

2008-05-08T16:32:00.000-07:00

MOST HUMANS UNDERSTANDING OF MODERN SCIENCE IS THAT IT'S FACTUAL ,NUMERICAL,EXPERT RIPE APPEARENCE DEEMS ALL OTHER BELIEF SYSTEMS NULL AND VOID.HOWEVER,THIS IS FAR FROM TRUE.THEORYS OF THE UNIVERSE ALLWAYS SUFFER FROM PROBLEMS-BUT THEY ARE RARELY MENTIONED.
ISSAC NEWTON'S "FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION" IS GREAT SCIENCE-UNTIL YOU ASK-"WHAT STARTED THE FIRST ACTION?"
IF OBJECTS ARE JUST OBJECTS WHAT INATIMATE FORCE WOULD START A MOITION-
ANY MOITION.SO THE GREAT MYSTERY OF ACTION AT A DISTANCE REMAINS UNRESOLVED
IN EINSTIENS GREAT THEORY OF RELITIVITY THE SAME PROBLEM ARISES.
SURE EXTEME SPEEDS MAY ALTER TIME.OBSEVATIONS OF RIGHT NOW MAY VARY
FROM PLACES THAT ARE EXTREMELY FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.BUT SO WHAT.
IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES AN QBJECT TO HAVE A GREAT VELOCITY OR
WHAT CAUSES PLACES T BE SO DISTANT FROM EACH OTHER THAT THIER TIME IS NOT THE SAME-IT DOESN'T SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSE EITHER.
ALL UNIVERSE THEORYS HAVE THIS PROBLEM-QUATUM PHYSICS,STRING
THEORY,CHAOS THEORY-NONE CAN EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSES ACTION AT A DISTANCE.{BUT THEY ARE STILL GREAT THEORYS-AS THEORY'S GO}

THE ORIGINS OF "LOOK OUT BELOW"

2008-04-27T04:20:00.000-07:00

ALL OF THE GREAT STYLES OF AMERICAN MUSIC HAVE HAD SOME
POINT OF REFERANCE THAT WAS THIER INSPIRATION-SOMETIMES
SEVERAL.IT'S DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN 1977-
1978 TO BE PLAYING IN A THREE PIECE GARAGE BAND IN BOISE IDAHO.
BUT THE MOVEMENT THAT ALLOWED "THE LOOKS" AND MYSELF TO
AT LEAST SOME TRACTION WAS THE PUNK SCENE THAT EVOLVED
AT CBGB'S IN N.Y.C..STYLISTICALLY THE MUSIC WE PLAYED WAS
VERY SIMULAR TO THE BANDS OF THAT SCENCE.I GUESS WE WERE
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN "TELEVISION" AND "THE RAMONES".LATER
ON "THE CLASH" BECAME AN INSPIRATION."LOOK OUT BELOW" WAS
A SONG I WROTE IN THAT PERIOD-CLEARLY REFLECTS THE INFLUENCE
OF ALL THREE BANDS AND YOU COULD ADD "THE TALKING HEADS"
AND "DEVO".I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE ALOT OF BANDS TO
INFLUENCE ONE SONG, "LOOK OUT BELOW",BUT I SWEAR THEY
ARE ALL THERE IF YOU LISTEN.THAT WAS SORT OF THE PREMISE
FOR WRITING THE SONG.WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU COMBINED
THE SOUND OF ALL THESE BANDS IN ONE SONG AND WROTE ABOUT
SOMETHING REALLY BIG-WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE NUCLEAR WAR.
W'ELL WHAT HAPPENED WAS "LOOK OUT BELOW".IT ALL CAME TO
ME IN ONE PIECE-VERY QUICKLY.AFTER "THE RAMONES" CAME TO
TOWN WE SPEEDED IT UP A LITTLE;BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT
REMAINS AS WRITTEN.

#7.GOD BLESS THE CHILD-BILLIE HOLIDAY

ONCE UPON A TIME IN SMALL CLUB IN NEW YORK CITY BILLIE HOLIDAY
WAS PERFORMING WITH ONE "FRANK SINATRA" IN THE AUDIENCE.A MAN
STARTED HECKLING MS. HOLIDAY AND SUDDENLY FRANK BECAME VERY
UPSET;WALKED OVER TO WHERE THE MAN WAS SITTING AND CONFRONTED
HIM."I'M SORRY MR. SINATRA,I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HERE" THE MAN
PLEADED."THAT'S O.K. PAL,JUST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND YOU WON'T
GET HURT AND OH BY THE WAY THAT LADY YOU'VE BEEN HECKLING-

STRAY CAT STRUT-THE CASE OF THE ORANGE CAT

2008-02-23T08:53:00.000-08:00

BY PETE HOLLY-COPYRIGHT-2008

EVERY SPRING FERAL CATS START TO CONGRAGATE AROUND OUR APARTMENT

COMPLEX.YOU USUALLY ONLY SEE 3 OR 4 OF THEM AT A TIME BUT YOU CAN TELL

BY THIER LOOK'S THAT THERE'S ABOUT 20 OR SO DIFFERANT CATS.THEN EVERY FALL THEY DISAPPEAR AND WE GET A NEW BATCH THE NEXT SPRING.THERE IS ONE

CAT WHO IS DIFFERANT.SHE'S ORANGE AND SHE HAD A LITTER OF SIX OR SEVEN

KITTENS IN ONE OF THE PLANTER 2 SUMMERS AGO.SOMEONE CALLED THE ANIMAL

CONTROL PEOPLE AND THEY CAME AND PICKED UP SOME OF THE CATS.BUT SPRING OF LAST YEAR THE ORANGE MOTHER CAT WAS STILL HERE AND SHE STILL HAD TWO OF HER OFFSPRING WHO WERE NOW ALLMOST AS BIG AS SHE.I KNEW SHE HAD

MADE IT ALONE THRU THE WINTER BEFORE THAT-THE ONLY CAT I'VE EVER SEEN DO THAT.SO NOW SHE HAD MADE IT THRU TWO WINTERS AND GOT HER BABIES THRU THE WINTER SOMEHOW TOO.THIS IS ONE SMART CAT.IT'S BELOW,USUALLY

WAY BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT FOR AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS OUT OF YEAR HERE

IN BOISE-SO FERAL CATS THAT CAN SURVIVE SUCCESIVE WINTERS ARE EXTREMLY

RARE.IN FACT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I'VE EVER SEEN MAKE IT.SO WHAT WAS HER

SECRET.SHE AND NOW HER BABIIES TOO HIDE IN THE WARM ENGINE COMPARTMENTS OF THE CARS AS PEOPLE ARRIVE HOME AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT.WHEN THE ENGINE THEY ARE ON COOLS OFF THEY SIMPLY MOVE TO A NEWER ARRIVAL WHOSE ENGINE IS STILL NICE AND TOASTY.IF YOU ASK
ME THESE ARE SOME PRETTY DAMN SMART CAT'S-NO WONDER THEY STRUT.

THE TIMES AND INFLUENCES OF EMILY DICKENSON

2008-02-08T15:51:00.000-08:00

"WITHIN' YOU AND WITHOUT YOU"

BY PETE HOLLY-COPYRIGHT-2008

IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THE CONVERGENCES OF IDEAS AND HISTORICAL
EVENTS AND THE EFFECTS THEY HAD ON ARTISTS AND WRITERS OF THIER
TIME.FEW PEOPLE ATTACH THE POETRY OF EMILY DICKENSON TO THE CIVIL
WAR YET IT WAS PRECISELY DURING THE YEARS OF THE WAR THAT DICKEN-
SON WROTE THE LARGEST AMOUNT AND THE BEST OF HER POETRY।
TWO OTHER MOVEMENTS IN ART AND LITERATURE ALSO COINCIDED
WITH DICKENSON'S WORK AND SHE WAS WELL AWARE OF BOTH.FIRST WAS
"THE HUDSON SCHOOL OF PAINTING" LEAD BY THOMAS COLE.THE NATURE
SCENES WEE IDEALIZED AND ROMANTIC YET THE IMAGERY WAS SO STRONG
AND BROUGHT THE RUGGEDNESS OF NATURE SO ALIVE THAT THEY WERE
EMOITIONALLY IMPRESSIVE।SOMEHOW ALL THIS WAS CONNECTED TO
EMERSON,THOREAU'S SELF-RELIANCE AND WALT WHITMANS WILD
FREE FORM POETRY.-ALL REFLECTIONS OF MAN'S RELATION TO UNTAMED
NATURE AND SEEKING A WAY TO LIVE WITH IT ON THIER OWN-WITHOUT
SPOILING THE VIEW-SO TO SPEAK।ALL THESE IDEAS AND EVENTS INFLUENCED EMILY DICKENSON AND YET SHE WAS ABLE TO CREATE HER OWN
ART THAT COULD EASILY STAND ON IT'S OWN MERIT-AND ABOVE ALL THESE
WRITERS AND ARTISTS.INDEED;DICKENSON'S PEN NOT ONLY TOOK EVERYTHING IN BUT IT ALSO GAVE EVERYTHING OUT AS WELL.THIS WAS THE SPECIAL POWER OF HER POETRY
AND WHY IT IS STILL AHEAD OF IT'S TIME OVER 150 YEARS LATER!HER MYTH
LIVES ON IN THE GLORY OF HER WORDS.

#5-DO YOU WANNA DANCE?-THE BEACH BOYS

THE LEAD-OFF TRACK ON THE BEACH BOYS "TODAY" ALBUM WHICH ALSO

CONTAINS "HELP ME RHONDA" AND "DANCE,DANCE,DANCE"-TWO OF THE BEACH

BOYS BIGGEST HITS-THIS TRACK FEATURES BEACH BOY DRUMMER DENNIS WILSON

ON VOCALS AND DISPLAYS BRIAN WILSON AT THE PEAK OF HIS PRODUCTION

POWERS TAKING THE OLD BOBBY FREEMAN SONG AND INFUSING IT WITH

UNMATCHED POWER AND SLEEKNESS IN A PRODUCTION JOB THAT CAN ONLY

WONDER-DENNIS WAS THE ONLY REAL SURFER IN THE BEACH BOY'S AND ON THIS TRACK HE'S ALSO THIER BEST VOCALIST।

#1-"MY FAVORITE THINGS"-JOHN COLTRANE QUARTET

SAXAPHONIIST JOHN COLTRANE,IN THE LATE 1950'S AND EARLY 1960'S,
WAS SHAKING UP THE THE JAZZ WORLD IN A WAY THAT IT HAD NEVER BEEN
SHAKEN' BEFORE OR SINCE.HE HAD DEVELOPED A NUMBER OF INTRICATE
TECHNIQUES,"SHEETS OF SOUND","STACKING NOTES" AND FINDING NOTES
THAT FIT THE SONG BUT TECHNICHALLY SHOUDN'T HAVE.USING THIS ARSENAL
OF SOUND COLTRANE AMAZED AUDIENCES AND FELLOW MUSICIANS WHO
WOULD STAND NEXT TO THE STAGE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW COLTRANE
WAS BLAZING THIS NEW TRAIL AND HOW HE COULD SOUND LIKE TWO
SAXAPHONISTS PLAYING AT ONCE।
COLTRANES COMPOSITIONAL SKILLS WERE ALSO AT THERE BEST-"NAIMA","COUSIN MARY","CENTRAL PARK WEST","GIANT STEPS" AND "EQUINOX"
WERE ALL WORKS OF AMAZING GENUIS.BUT THERE WAS MORE.COLTRANE MANAGED TO TAKE HIS INCREDIBLY COMPLEX PLAYING STYLE AND ADAPT IT
TO THE POPULAR SONG "MY FAVORITE THINGS" FROM THE SOUND OF MUSIC{FILM
AND MUSICAL}.THE RECORDING CROSSED OVER INTO THE MAINSTREAM AND
"FAVORITE THINGS" BECAME SECOND ONLY TO DAVE BRUBECKS "TAKE FIVE" AS
THE BEST-SELLING JAZZ RECORD OF ALL-TIME.SUDDENLY SQUARES WERE
TURNED ON TO COOL।IT WAS COLTRANES REVOLUTION.

ATTACHED TO THE ROYALTY AMOUNT.OF COARSE THERE NO WAY OF PREDICTING

WHAT AMOUNT OF THE FILM AND TELEVISION MARKET YOU MAY GAIN।
BUT IT WON'T COST YOU A DIME TO SCOUT THE MARKET।IF YOU GET AN OFFER-
TAKE-IT-THEY DON'T GROW ON TREE'S। P।HOLLY 10/4/07

STATISTICS THAT I RECIEVED FROM B.M.I. THE OTHER DAY REVEAL
THAT "ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL" REMAINS THE MOST
DOWNLOADED SONG IN THE PETE HOLLY CATOLOG।
A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF THE ACTIVITY IS COMING
FROM INTERNATIONAL SITES NAMELY THE COUTRIES
IN EUROPE-U।K AND THE SCANDINAVIAN COUTRIES.
"HEART" OF GOLD" WAS NUMBER 2 AND "LET IT RIP"
AND "LOOK OUT BELOW" WERE 3 & 4 RESPECTIVILY.

BEYOND THE REALMS OF WHAT WE CAN SEE,HEAR,TOUCH,TASTE AND SMELL LIES AN INVISABLE WORLD.JUST WHEN WE THINK WE HAVE A HANDLE ON IT-IT DISSOLVES INTO DUST BEFORE OUR EYES AND WE REALIZE-WE DON'T SEE-WE DON'T
UNDERSTAND.THE MORE ANSWERS WE FIND TO THE TRUE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE THE MORE QUESTONS ARISE.I BELIEVE IT IS MEANT TO BE THIS WAY.BUT
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T GO ON OUR OWN VOYAGES OF PERSONAL
DISCOVERY.BY ALL MEANS WE CERTAINLY SHOULD.
I KNOW THIS-WHATEVER COARSE YOU CHOOSE IN LIFE-IF YOU TRULY
BELIEVE IN IT-AND TRULY LOVE IT-YOU WILL NOT COME UP EMPTY HANDED.
THERE IS A N OLD MAYAN PROVERB THAT GOES SOMETHING LIKE
THIS-"YOU ARE TO TRAVEL,GOING FROM TOWN TO TOWN,CITY YO CITY
SELLING YOUR WARES.PERHAPS YOU WILL FIND FEW IF ANY BUYERS FOR YOUR
WARES-DO NOT FEAR-THE LORD GOD WILL FIND A PLACE FOR YOU IN THE THIS UNIVESE."
I BELIEVE IN THIS PROVERB.GO ON YOUR JOURNEY.THE LORD GOD WILL FIND A PLACE FOR YOU IN THIS UNIVERSE.IT IS WRITTEN IN THE STARS.

"THE GREAT BASIN-TAKING IT IN"

2007-08-16T23:32:00.000-07:00

P. HOLLY 8/17/2007

BOISE IS PART OF THE NORTHWEST AND IT IS ALSO A ROCKY MOUNTAIN STATE.
BUT IT'S LARGEST INFLUENCE IS THAT OF THE GREAT BASIN,THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD;FOR IT STANDS JUST AT THE EDGE OF THIS GIGANTIC MASS OF LAND WHERE
NO WATER REACH'S THE SEA AND EVEN THOUGH THE SNAKE RIVER AND BOISE
RIVER DO REACH THE SEA THE GREAT BASINS SHEAR SIZE EXTENDS MUCH OF IT'S
TOPOGRAPHY,FLORA,FAUNA AND WEATHER RIGHT INTO THE BOISE CITY LIMITS
AND UP TO THE BEGININGS OF THE THE ROCKY MOUTAINS JUST NORTH OF THE CITY.
EVERYTHING TO THE SOUTH OF THAT IS BASIN COUNTRY.ENORMOUS ROLLING HILLS AND STEPPE'S OF SAGEBRUSH,THE HOT DRY AIR-GIANT OUTCROPPINGS OF STRANGE ROCK FORMATIONS THAT SEEM CARVED BY SOME ANCIENT ARTIST AS
THEY ARE SO UNIQUE AND FULL OF BEAUTY.THE AREA'S EVETUALLY EXTEND INTO
FLATLANDS THAT SEEM TO GO ON FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES.PACKED WITH SAGEBRUSH AND EVAPORATED LAKE'S OF SALT.WHEN A NEW ROCK FORMATION
APPEARS IT TELLS THE EXPIERIENCED DRIVER EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE.
I FIND THIS LAND TO BE STRANGELY SPIRITUAL.THE LONG STRECHE'S OF ROAD THAT SEEM TO GO ON FOREVER WITHOUT SINGLE TRACE OF MAN/WOMAN OR ANY CIVILIZATION.LIKE A MEDITATION ONE'S MANTRA BECOMES THE SINGLE
WORD:"DRIVE".AND IT IS IN THESE PLACES WHICH MANY WOULD DESRIBE AS
NOTHINGNESS THAT A CETAIN SPIRITUAL BLISS CAN BE FOUND.THE MIND TURNS OFF IT'S RANDOM THOUGHT PATTERNS AND FOCUS'S ON THE ONE:"DRIVE".
IT'S QUIET.THERE IS NOT A SOUL FOR MILES.SOMEWHERE ABOVE THE SILENT HUM OF MY JEEPS ENGINE AND THE GRACEFUL RADIENCE OF MY FOUR BRAND NEW TIRES-I'M GLIDING ALONG AND I FEEL GOOD.AT PEACE.IF ONLY JUST FOR ANOTHER
HUNDRED MILES OR SO.I'LL TAKE IT.

GETTING TO BRUCKNER

2007-08-05T15:20:00.000-07:00

ONE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC'S MOST TALENTED YET LEAST KNOWN COMPOSERS WAS
ANTON BRUCKNER.HIS WORK IS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER YET BECAUSE AS A PERSON HE WAS NOT A GREAT SELF-PROMOTER AND HIS STRICT ADHERANCE TO
TO HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS;HE HAD A FAIRLY LOW PROFILE IN HIS LIFETIME.STILL
BRAHMS KNEW OF HIS WORK AND INFLUENCES OF WAGNER CAN BE HEARD IN MANY OF HIS SYMPHONIES.HE DID HAVE IS OWN UNIQUE STYLE THOUGH,ONE WHICH I FIND TO BE HIGHLY ENJOYABLE AND WONDERFUL TO LISTEN TO.
ANYWAY,IF YOU GET TO BRUCKNER-IT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD ALL THE MORE WELL KNOWN COMPOSERS{BEETOVEEN,CHOPIN,MOZART,
LISZT,ETC.}SO IN THAT RESPECT,IT'S A SIGNPOST OF SORTS THAT YOU AQQUIRED
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC AND IT'S GREAT COMPOSERS. P. HOLLY 8/5/07

LIKE ELVIS SAID-TREAT ME NICE

2007-07-26T02:20:00.000-07:00

WE HAVE A PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD TODAY AS BEING IN THE MOST DANGEROUS POSITION IT HAS EVER BEEN IN.THE DOOMSDAY'S CLOCK HAND KEEPS GETTING MOVED CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT.BUT I BELIEVE THAT FOR MOST OF US WHO
GREW UP IN 1960'S;THE WORLD SEEMS ABOUT THE SAME.THE CUBAN MISSLE CRISIS
HAPPENED WHEN I WAS 5-I DON'T BELIEVE TO MANY PEOPLE TODAY FULLY GRASP
HOW CLOSE WE CAME TO WW-III-IN 1962.WE WERE TAUGHT TO HIDE UNDER OUR DESKS AT SCHOOL-SHOULD A NUCLEAR BOMB FALL NEARBY.WE WERE SO NAIVE.
MALCOM X WAS ASSASINATED,THEN JOHN KENNEDY,THEN MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.,THEN BOBBY KENNEDY-AND BEFORE THAT MARILYN MONROE-THE MOST FAMOUS PERSON ON THE PLANET DIED OF-WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT.LIKE MUCH OF OUR PAST-THE EVIDENCE IS INCONCLUSIVE.EVERYTHING IS QUESTIONABLE.WE DON'T KNOW AS MUCH AS WE THOUGHT WE DID-ABOUT THE HUMAN MIND.IT'S CAPACITY TO DECIEVE OTHERS AND AND EVEN FOR SELF-DECEPTION-IF WE THINK THE GAIN IS WORTH THE RISK OR BECAUSE OUR PRIDE
WON'T ALLOW US TO ADMIT OUR FAULTS.
ONE OF THE DREAMS OF THE 60'S WAS TO LIVE A SIMPLER LESS MATERIALISTIC
LIFESTYLE-BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.HIPPIES BECAME YUPPIES AND STILL WE WANT MORE-ALLWAYS MORE.NOW WE ARE EVEN EXPORTING OUR WAY OF LIFE TO OTHER COUNTRIES-BY FORCE IF NEED BE.WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF DOING THIS.WE WON'T BE SATISFIED 'TILL EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD LIVES LIKE WE
DO.AND ONCE THEY GET ACCUSTOMED TO HAVING MORE-THEY WILL ALSO WANT
EVEN MORE-JUST LIKE OURSELVES.IT SEEMS THAT THE GENIE WILL NOT GO BACK IN THE BOTTLE.SO TREAT HIM{OR HER]NICE.

THE MYSTERY OF "HEY JOE"

2007-06-28T16:30:00.000-07:00

JIMI HENDRIX WAS SO REVOLUTIONARY AS A ROCK GUITARIST THAT PEOPLE OFTEN OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT HE WAS ALSO AN AMAZING ROCK COMPOSER.
OF THE THREE COVER SONGS THAT DO APPEAR ON HENDRIX'S THREE MAIN ALBUMS THEY ARE EITHER- SO COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED LIKE-DYLAN'S "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER" THAT JIMI DESERVE'S A WRITING CREDIT AND AT LEAST
SURELY COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP OF THE ARRANGEMENT.{UNKNOWN}
ON THE OLD BLUES STANDARD "RED HOUSE" SIMILARLY JIMI COMPLETELY OVERPOWER'S-A GREAT SONG-WITH HIS ASTOUNDING BLUES GUITAR TALENT THAT HE JUST DOESN'T COPY OTHER VERSIONS BUT SEEMS TO CONNECT TO IT DIRECTLY FROM HIS VERY SOUL.["BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT I STILL GOT MY GUITAR"}
FINALLY WE COME TO "HEY JOE" THE SONG THAT LAUNCHED JIMI'S CAREER IN
ENGLAND.HIS FIRST SINGLE AND HIS FIRST HIT.THE HISTORY OF A "HEY JOE" IS
A MYSTERY BECAUSE IN THE END YOU RELIZE NO ONE REALLY KNOW'S WHO
WROTE IT.RIGHT BEFORE JIMI WAS DISCOVERED BY CHAS CHANDLER{A FORMER
MEMBER OF "THE ANIMALS"}}IN GREENWICH VILLAGE{NEW YORK CITY]SINGER-
SONGWRITER "TIM ROSE" HAD PLAYED AN ARRANGMENT SIMILIAR TO JIMI'S ON HIS
DEBUT ALBUM.ROSE OFTEN PLAYED AROUND THE VILLAGE SO IT'S VERY POSSIBLE
JIMI GOT IT FROM ROSE;WHO DIDN'T WRITE IT AND TRIED TO PRETEND HE KNEW
WHO DID BUT NONE OF HIS STORIES HELD UP UNDER SCRUTINY.
AT ONE POINT IN THE MID-SIXTIES QUITE A FEW GARAGE BANDS COVERED
"JOE" BUT THEY PLAYED IT AT A MUCH FASTER TEMPO-"THE LEAVES" RECORDED IT AND SO DID "LOVE".HENDRIX HAD PLAYED WITH "LOVE" SO HE COULD HAVE HEARD IT THEN AND WHEN ROSE RE-ARRANGED-DECIDING HE LIKED IT SLOWER
BETTER.IT COULD JUST BE THAT "HEY JOE" IS ONE OF THOSE BLUE'S/FOLK AMERICAN STANDARDS WHOSE AUTHORS NAME HAS BEEN LOST IN TIME.

LONNIE DONAGAN,BUDDY HOLLY & THE QUARRYMEN

2007-06-18T06:25:00.000-07:00

HERE IS A GREAT PICTURE OF LONNIE DONAGAN AND BUDDY HOLLY.DONAGAN
WAS A HUGE STAR IN ENGLAND.HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE SKIFFLE CRAZE WHICH AT ONE TIME WAS SO BIG THAT EVEN MY UNCLE REX WAS IN A SKIFFLE BAND IN OGDEN,UTAH ! DONAGANS BIGGEST HIT WAS "ROCK ISLAND LINE" A SONG
WRITTEN BY HEDDIE LEDBETTER BETTER KNOWN AS "LEADBELLY".
THE FIRST TIME PAUL McCARTNEY SAW JOHN LENNON HE WAS PLAYING WITH
HIS SKIFFLE BAND-"THE QUARRYMEN".LENNON SANG "ROCK ISLAND LINE" AND
McCARTNEY WASN'T TOO IMPRESSED WITH THE BAND BUT HE LIKED LENNONS
VOCALS.LATER A MUTUAL FRIEND INTODUCED THEM-McCARTNEY PUT ON QUITE
A DEMONSTATION FOR LENNON-SHOWING HIM HOW TO PROPERLY TUNE A GUITAR-WHICH LENNON HADN'T QUITE MASTERED AND THEN RUNNING THRU
EDDIE COCHRAN'S "20 FLIGHT ROCK",GENE VINCENT AND THE BLUECAP'S "BE-BOP-A
-LU-LA" AND A MEDLY OF LITTLE RICHARD HITS ! SUFFICE TO SAY-LENNON WAS
QUITE IMPRESSED.
THIS PHOTO OF HOLLY AND DONAGON IS INTERESTING BECAUSE THE SKIFFLE CRAZE WINDED DOWN AFTER A FEW YEARS BUT-UNLIKE IN AMERICA-BUDDY HOLLY'S MUSIC STAYED VERY POPULAR IN ENGLAND FOR A VERY LONG TIME{EVEN
AFTER HIS DEATH HE WAS STILL TOPPING THE CHARTS} AND ENDED UP BEING A HUGE INFLUENCE ON THE BEATLES AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER WELL KNOWN
ENGLISH MUSICIANS-THE ROLLING STONES,ERIC CLAPTON,THE HOLLIES,AND
REALLY JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE BANDS THAT WERE A PART OF THE BRITISH
INVASION.
"ROCK ISLAND LINE" HAS BECOME AN AMERICAN STANDARD AND THE BEST
KNOWN VERSION OF IT IS PROBABLY THE ONE RECORDED BY JOHNNY CASH-
WHO REALLY TAKES IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL-HE CONTINUED TO PERFORM IT
THROUGHOUT HIS LONG AND AMAZING CAREER AND IT WAS ALLWAYS A CROWD
FAVORITE. http://members.tripod.com/rant58/id448.htm

ON MUSIC-"THE COMPOSER-COME HELL OR HIGHWATER"

2007-06-05T15:36:00.000-07:00

PEOPLE ARE ALLWAYS SURPRISED WHEN I TELL THEM THAT MUSIC IS THE HIGHEST
FORM OF ART.BUT AS AN ARTIST WHO ALSO IS A PAINTER,PHOTOGRAPHER,
FILMAKER,DIRECTOR,ACTOR,DANCER AND WRITER-I CAN TELL YOU WHY.
MUSIC IS COMPLETELY TEMPORAL.IT IS ALLWAYS JUST VIBRATIONS FLOATING IN SPACE{MUCH LIKE THE UNIVERSE ITSELF},ARRANGED BY OUR COMPLEX HUMAN MINDS TO EVOKE WHATEVER IT IS WE ARE FEELING,THINKING,OR EXPIERIENCING.
NO WONDER IT IS SO OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD !
THE CREATOR MAY HAVE HAD ONE THING IN MIND BUT THE LISTENER MAY HEAR ANOTHER.
IT IS ALSO THE ART THAT AROUSE'S THE MOST,MOST INTENSE, AND WIDEST VARIETY OF RESPONSE'S.AS THE LATE RICK NELSON SO ELOQUINTLY PUT IT-"YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE,SO YOU GOTTA PLEASE YOURSELF".
MANY OF THE WORLDS MOST ACCLAIMED MUSICAL WORKS OF GENUIS WERE
COMPLETELY REJECTED WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED TO THE PUBLIC.THE MUSIC DIDN'T CHANGE BUT PEOPLES ATTITUDES DID !
SO THE COMPOSER HAS THE MOST DIFFICULT JOB IN THE WORLD.TO EXCEL CREATIVLY;AND YET STILL SUFFER THE SLINGS AND ARROWS THAT WILL INEVITABLY BE THROWN THIER WAY.
NO OTHER ACT MODERN MAN CAN ACHIEVE IS SCRUTINIZED TO THE DEGREE
THAT THE WORK OF A MODERN COMPOSERS IS.IN REALIZING HIS SITUATION,THE
COMPOSER TOILS ON,ALONE,COME HELL OR HIGHWATER. P. HOLLY 6/5/2007
