The birds and the airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into fire and light
Hugh Masakela's music was black as night
The Grateful Dead blew everybodies mind
Jimi Hendrix baby, believe me, set the world on fire,
yeah
His Majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the
crowd
Ten thousand electric guitars were grooving real loud,
yeah
You want to find the truth in life
Don't pass music by
And you know I would not lie, no I would not lie,
No, I would not lie
Down in Monterey...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1954 Mercury Monterey
I wasn’t there.
How things could be ?
Where would I be now ?
Still out here wondering…
thanx Phil for suggesting me the black backround
In the morning they return with tears in their eyes
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
Remembers the words “Thou shalt not kill”...
Sky pilot…..sky pilot
How high can you fly
You never, never, never reach the sky...

Eric Burdon performing at 2016 Lowell Summer Music Series, Lowell, MA on July 22, 2016.
Eric Burdon Official Site:
Otis Redding is here performing Sam Cooke's 'Shake' live for the television special "Ready Steady Otis!", with Eric Burdon (singer of the Animals) sharing some of the vocals. The date is 1966 and the dancers Patricia Kerr, Cassandra Mahon and Sandy Sargeant erupted between the artists and audiences with a sassy and stylish commitment that remembers back to the age of Swing when Lindy Hop interthreaded the musicians and guests at the Harlem Savoy.
Looking back at the footage of the Otis special, is to see a space where music shared between people, and this single black and white television special must be understood as one of the inputs that seeded the dance hall movement of late sixties northern England known as 'Northern Soul'. Otis was black and Eric was white, and with the life force of the soul music and the drive of the dancers, the space was alive and in full colour.
Although Otis did not write the track 'Shake', he did make it his own, here, refusing to let it stop within an expected format and extending it with 'na's' that see him simply join in with the horn section as an applied chant. Singing half and quarter beats with the rhythm section (also enjoyed by James Brown) would be enough to give Otis a thread within musical history; on top he was a master craftsman of song, and his track '(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay' is one of the finest short songs ever recorded. Add to this the fact that his live performances of "Try a Little Tenderness" were at the summit of dynamic energy, and Otis Redding importance to musical history is alive and assured.
The original television footage:

Eric Burdon is well known for a house in the rising sun. An original folk form by Leadbelly can be heard here:

Eric's classic version from 2 years prior to his evening with Otis:

Otis Redding's '(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," is another omnipresent song that furnishes the collective household of mankind. So present, it's almost possible to miss, and It has the quality of a good story photograph:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTVjnBo96Ug
'(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay was a track about a migrant from 'The Great Migration' whose dreams turned out to be empty - watching others anonymously float by. 'Try a little tenderness' talks of an overworked lady - weary and wearing a shaggy dress... both tracks adding fine melody and passionate support to quite desperate moments, both tracks laden with description and compassion. Today the track from this lens test 'Shake' might evoque a 'Blues Brothers' of ultra abandon gratuitous or a fleet of sexual innuendo. For Otis, the 'Shake' is a collective mood of shared dancing and the key is the question "Do you feel alright?". Like Jimmy Smith, Otis could be a preacher within music. Otis wanted the music to make everyone feel 'fine', refusing to leave people from his list. His thrilling energy is illustrated here through the lifeforce of a waterfall.

Let me take you back, way back, back into time ( Blackstreet ) . . . and listen to : Eric Burdon . . Declares War
Francisco "Pancho" Tomaselli - Welcome Home Ceremony, Mannheim, Germany 2006
In 2003, Pancho became the bass player for the legendary funk band, War, a gig he holds it till 2015.
War (originally called Eric Burdon and War) is an American funk band from Long Beach, California, known for several hit songs (including "Spill the Wine", "The World Is a Ghetto", "The Cisco Kid", "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", and "Summer"). Formed in 1969, War is a musical crossover band which fuses elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, and reggae. Their album The World Is a Ghetto was the best-selling album of 1973. The band transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up. War was subject to many line-up changes over the course of its formation, leaving member Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan as the only original member in the current line-up; four other members created a new group called the Lowrider Band.

Keep watching this space, my harmonica workshop coming soon: “KiddieBop Harmonica Circle” ... as adapted from my
Mission Harmonica Circle™
The basics of playing the harmonica using popular tunes such as "Amazing Grace," the Beatles' "Love Me Do," "This Land Is Your Land." You will learn to express yourself on this simple instrument which is tons of fun, therapeutic, promotes great breathing techniques and is socially a crowd-pleaser.
For two years I taught a harmonica workshop for the City of Mission Viejo's Cultural Affairs department. See below, one of the courses in my Mission Harmonica Circle™ (Making Your World Better With Music ... and Harmonicas!), which I describe as a drum circle with harmonicas.
KiddieBop harmonicas
These KiddieBop harmonicas will be available before taking my course ($10 + $3 shipping = $13 via PayPal to PayPal.Me/NoeGold/13) at my blog:
DoctorNoemedia.blogspot.com.
Course title: KiddieBop Harmonica Circle
Description: Ages 8 - 13&11 - 16
A weekly workshop for kids in the basics of playing the harmonica, using popular tunes such as "Amazing Grace," the Beatles' "Love Me Do," "This Land Is Your Land" and fun novelty tunes by Woody Guthrie, Doctor Demento and Jack Elliott In a communal "call and response" format, with audio-visual cues that teach a little bit about the social currents that are associated with the harmonica – the Civil War, the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. We will also understand the notes and keys on the harmonica and the basics of playing along with a guitar or piano.
The class will be fun and playful in nature and by the end of the session kids will be total harmonicats and kitties.
“Doctor Noe” Gold, Headmaster of the College of Musical Knowledge and Mission Harmonica Circle™, is setting up a home-school music site using the harmonica as the benign yardstick on the international Outschool.com platform.
Stay tuned to my Mission Harmonica Circle™ FB page for details and leave me ideas of classes and how to get the word out.

December 14th 2011
Day fourteen of the December Diary 2011 Project This years Theme... 'MUSIC' %-)
I am such a big fan of the blues... and have a special tribute to some of the old blues men coming up in the next day or so... once I've rounded up all my records and CD's... but for today I've decided to make a start with two of my favourite bands growing up... and two of the most amazing voices in rock/blues history.... Eric Burden from The Animals... and Jim Morrison from The Doors!
Jim Morrison was SO charismatic! I had a fantastic poster of him on my wall when I was young, which is probably still up in Mum's attic somewhere! LOL! When I was travelling around Europe in 1991, I visited Paris and did the classic thing of visiting his grave at the famous "Père Lachaise Cemetery". Unknown to me at the time, it was actually the week of the 20th Anniversary of his death. The place (which is huge) seemed pretty deserted until I approached his plot... and there were dozens of people there almost camped out on a vigil... playing his music and with flowers and trinkets and candles. It was quite touching and an interesting experience. I also remember seeing the movie "The Doors" (With Val Kilmer in the lead role) while in Niece around the same time too, which had just been released! %-)
The Animals were another band that I just LOVED and still do. It always AMAZED me how THAT voice could come out of a young white guy! Especially when you look back at early videos. Eric Burden was so young but his voice was just amazing. "The Most of the Animals" was one of my favourite albums at the time... and I was lucky to find it on CD many years later. There's also one there with the legendary "Sonny Boy Williams" on harmonica.
I've LOVED pulling out this music again... and hope you find something you enjoy here too! %-)
THE DOORS...
Riders on the Storm (I remember this being one of the first songs I tested out on my new turntable back in 1988. The sound was amazing.. that piano is just magical... and his voice too of course!)
Roadhouse Blues (Live Version with John Lee Hooker)
THE ANIMALS...
Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Before Elvis Costello did his fantastic version...)
House of the Rising Sun (Probably their biggest hit.. so I thought I'd better throw it in here)
Night Time is the Right Time (classic blues with Sonny Boy Williamson singing and on Harmonica)
My Babe (Another with Sonny Boy Williams)
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one.
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
To spend their life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun.

WCFL Hit Survey, 9-21-1970
Candida by Dawn made it to #1, but the big news was a new soft rock song by Canadian Anne Murray, "Snowbird", entering at #30 with a bullet. Snowbird happens also to be slang for "cocaine addict".
A close examination of the song's lyrics indicates... nothing. From the looks of it the lyrics may have been written with an early version of AI, or by an eight year old.
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then, too
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

U.S. Top 40 September 9, 1970
I didn't choose this because the #1 song is Edwin Starr's "War", but there you go. I'll be posting these weekly for the next couple of years, starting here in September 1970 and going through 1974.
These hit surveys are precious to me (which is also a reason to preserve them on Flickr). I was 10 years old when I got this one, and I loved tracking my favorite songs up and down the chart. The owner of the record store where we got these, on Devon Avenue in Chicago, would make us a 45rpm in order to get the hit survey, so that was how my record collection started.
There are some total classics in here. Besides War, we've got Neil Diamond's great "Solitary Man", Diana Ross's "Aint No Mountain High Enough", and Chicago's attempt at hard rock, "25 or 6 to 4". Pop lovers will fondly remember Bobby Sherman's "Julie Do You Love Me", and YES, "Indiana Wants Me".
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

Vintage movie publicity still photo of Eric Burdon and the Animals from the film, Get Yourself a College Girl. You know the film is low budget when the movie still is not actually from the film, and is a publicity photo from the groups record company. Guaranteed to bring a smile to fans of Eric Burdon and the Animals. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
