HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Abraham Lincoln, Moe Bandy, Tex Beneke, Judy Blume, Josh Brolin, George Cohan’s 1906 musical GEORGE WASHINGTON, Charles Darwin, music curator Anthony Ferraro, Rick Frank (Elephant’s Memory), George Gershwin’s RHAPSODY IN BLUE (1924), Steve Hackett, Omar Hakim, Arsenio Hall, Michael Ironside, Joseph “Mr. Wilson” Kearns, Ray Kurzweil, Bill Laswell, Ray Manzerek, Cotton Mather, Christopher McCandless, Gene McDaniels, Michael McDonald, The McGuire Sisters’s 1955 single “Sincerely,” Gil Moore (Triumph), The NAACP, Chynna Phillips, Josef Reicha, Christina Ricci, Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy), great rock bassist Joe Schermie (3 Dog Night), Bob Shad, former bandmate and one of my favorite drummers Jason Shuman, Forrest Tucker, and legendary actor-singer Lorne Greene. He’s imbedded in TV culture as Commander Adama in the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and as Ben Cartwright in the long-running western BONANZA. Extending from that, Greene released a series of Old West-themed recordings—his 1964 cowboy story “Ringo” hit #1 (also dial up his appearances on the Johnny Cash TV show circa 1970). Greene started in radio, and his remarkable bass voice made him a perfect narrator. 

One day in 1992, I was working in a recording studio and happened across boxes of this 1976 Bicentennial COLONIAL KEYSTONE LP featuring Lorne Greene. The studio was in Northumberland, Pennsylvania—an unlikely hub for a well-appointed facility built by “local genius” Bob Spangler. That studio was an intersection for acclaimed pop/rock acts (The Badlees, Hybrid Ice, Whitney Houston) and composers (William Duckworth), and it was where I began working with Davy Jones (Monkees). One of Bob’s early career moves was to record Greene for this spoken word project. When I asked Bob about the LP, he dug out a photo album that documented Greene’s appearance—a “big star” who cheerfully accommodated the small-town citizens of central PA. The COLONIAL KEYSTONE LP was reissued on CD on the Cherry Red label. Meanwhile, HB to LG. Thank you for your hours of giving people edification and quality entertainment.

Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed "Hawk" and sometimes "Bean", was a jazz tenor saxophonist. One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn". His biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos before Hawkins as "mooing" and "rubbery belches." He cited as influences Happy Caldwell, Stump Evans, and Prince Robinson, he was the first to tailor his method of improvisation to the saxophone rather than imitate the techniques of the clarinet. His virtuosic, arpeggiated approach to improvisation, with his characteristic, emotional, loud, and vibrato-laden tonal style, was the main influence on a generation of tenor players that included Chu Berry, Charlie Barnet, Tex Beneke, Ben Webster, Vido Musso, Herschel Evans, Buddy Tate, and Don Byas, and through them the later tenor men, Arnett Cobb, Illinois Jacquet, Flip Phillips, Ike Quebec, Al Sears, Paul Gonsalves, and Lucky Thompson. While he became well-known for swing music during the big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s. He attended high school in Chicago, then in Topeka at Topeka High School. He stated that he studied harmony and composition for two years at Washburn College while still attending high school. In his youth he played piano and cello, and started playing saxophone at the age of nine; by the age of fourteen, he was playing around eastern Kansas. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOKp61LWyj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
