Leon Redbone - Leon Redbone (born Dickran Gobalian, August 26, 1949 – May 30, 2019)


Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone is a documentary short that explores the life and music of the enigmatic musician Leon Redbone. Beginning with his “discovery” by Bob Dylan at the Mariposa Folk Festival in 1972, the film hears from his longtime friends and associates about the mystery surrounding this musical cult figure. Set against Leon’s last filmed performances, it features interviews with John Prine, John Hammond, David Wilcox, Owen McBride and more.



Leon Redbone (born Dickran Gobalian,[2][3] August 26, 1949 – May 30, 2019) was a Cyprus-born (of Armenian ancestry) Canadian-American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and voice actor specializing in jazz, blues, and Tin Pan Alley classics. Recognized by his Panama hat, dark sunglasses, and black tie, Redbone was born in Cyprus of Armenian ancestry and first appeared on stage in Toronto, Canada, in the early 1970s. He also appeared on film and television in acting and voice-over roles.



  Redbone's concerts made use of performance, comedy, and skilled instrumentals. Recurrent gags involved the influence of alcohol and claiming to have written works originating well before he was born – Redbone favored material from the Tin Pan Alley era, circa 1890s to 1910. He sang the theme to the 1980s television series Mr. Belvedere and released eighteen albums.

Filmed in Nashville, TN. Leon Redbone and Scott Black on cornet perform with a studio orchestra

On May 19, 2015, Redbone's website announced that he would no longer be performing or recording, as his health had been "a cause for concern" for some time. He passed away in 2019 at the age of 69, but according to the official obituary, he was 127 years old

                                      Tony Kay (Anthony John Selvidge -born 11 January 1945)


The Yes Album is the third studio album by English progressive rock band Yes, released on 19 February 1971 by Atlantic Records.[3] It was the band's first album to feature guitarist Steve Howe, who replaced Peter Banks in 1970, as well as their last to feature keyboardist Tony Kaye until 1983's 90125.

The album was the first by the band not to feature any cover versions of songs. The band spent mid-1970 writing and rehearsing new material at a farmhouse at Romansleigh, Devon, and the new songs were recorded at Advision Studios in London in the autumn. While the album retained close harmony singing, Kaye's Hammond organ, and Chris Squire's melodic bass, as heard on earlier releases, the new material also covered further styles including jazz piano, funk, and acoustic music. All of the band members contributed ideas, and tracks were extended in length to allow music to develop. Howe contributed a variety of guitar styles, including a Portuguese guitar, and recorded the solo acoustic guitar piece "Clap", live at the Lyceum Theatre, London.(Wikipedia)

Chicago Transit Authority - Concertgebouw Amsterdam (12dec.1969)


Chicago is een Amerikaanse rock band ,opgericht in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. Ze beschrijven zelf hun muziek al "rock and roll band with horns" in het begin politiek geladen, soms experimenteel, een combinatie van rock en jazz.Later ging de groep over op een wat meer "softe" sound en ballads..Voor mij persoonlijk minder interessant maar desondanks scoorde de groep meerdere hits gedurende de jaren 1970 en 1980. Chicago is een van de langstlopende en meest succesvolle rockgroepen uit de geschiedenis.

 
 Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is?

Op 12 December trad de band op in het mooie Concertgebouw in Amsterdam ,voor een ,op het oog, zeer statisch publiek.
 De originele bezetting van de band was ,Robert Lamm- keyboard,Terry Kath -guitar ,Peter Cetera -bassist ,zij deden ook de vocals, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane en Walter Parazaider vormden de blazerssectie en Danny Seraphine op de drums.

  25 or 6 to 4

Het eerste album (April 1969),  The Chicago Transit Authority, was gelijk een dubbel album,wat toch wel bijzonder was voor een eersteling.. Er werden er meer dan een miljoen van verkocht .Het album bevat klassiekers als "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", "Beginnings", "Questions 67 and 68", en "I'm a Man" – allemaal ook uitgebracht als singles.
Toen de echte Chicago Transit Authority( bus en trein  maatschappij in  Chicago.) dreigde met juridische stappen over de naam  ,werd snel  na de release van het album, de bandnaam ingekort tot Chicago

                 Its better end soon (Chicago ll )

  Terry Kath's ontwikkeling als gitarist was zo sterk dat zelfs Jimi Hendrix een bewonderaar was van Terry,s manier van spelen .Zo vertelde saxophonist Walter Parazaider,  “This guy came up very quietly and tapped me on the shoulder. He says, ‘Hi, I’m Jimi Hendrix. I’ve been watching you guys and I think your guitarist is better than me.”

                                            I,m a Man

 "I'm a Man" is een nummer van The Spencer Davis Group singer-songwriter Steve Winwood en record producer Jimmy Miller.

 Chicago Transit Authority nam het nummer "I'm a Man" op voor hun debut album, The Chicago Transit Authority. Hoewel het de  B-side was van"Questions 67 and 68" kwam het nummer toch op de 49 ste plaats van  U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.

  Terry Alan Kath (31 januari 1946 - 23 januari 1978), geboren in Chicago, Illinois, was een Amerikaanse muzikant en songwriter. Hij was de originele gitarist en mede-oprichter van de rockband Chicago. Hij stierf in het begin van 1978, acht dagen voor zijn 32ste verjaardag, het spelen met een pistool werd hem noodlottig.

Sonny Boy Williamson II (Glendora, Mississippi, 5 december 1912( ? ) – Helena, Arkansas, 25 mei 1965)

Alex or Aleck Miller ( December 5, 1912– May 24, 1965), known later in his career as Sonny Boy Williamson, was an American blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter. He was an early and influential blues harp stylist who recorded successfully in the 1950s and 1960s. Miller used various names, including Rice Miller and Little Boy Blue, before calling himself Sonny Boy Williamson, which was also the name of a popular Chicago blues singer and harmonica player. To distinguish the two, Miller has been referred to as Sonny Boy Williamson II.
  He first recorded with Elmore James on "Dust My Broom". Some of his popular songs include "Don't Start Me Talkin'", "Help Me", "Checkin' Up on My Baby", and "Bring It On Home". He toured Europe with the American Folk Blues Festival and recorded with English rock musicians, including the Yardbirds, the Animals, and Jimmy Page. "Help Me" became a blues standard,[5] and many blues and rock artists have recorded his songs(Wikipedia)


Williamson's first recording session took place in 1951 for Lillian McMurry of Trumpet Records, based in Jackson, Mississippi. It was three years since the death of John Lee Williamson, which for the first time allowed some legitimacy to Miller's carefully worded claim to being "the one and only Sonny Boy Williamson". When Trumpet went bankrupt in 1955, Williamson's recording contract was yielded to its creditors, who sold it to Chess Records in Chicago. He had begun developing a following in Chicago beginning in 1953, when he appeared there as a member of Elmore James's band. During his Chess years he enjoyed his greatest success and acclaim, recording about 70 songs for the Chess subsidiary Checker Records from 1955 to 1964. His first LP record was a compilation of previously released singles. Titled Down and Out Blues, Checker released the collection in 1959. A single, "Boppin' with Sonny" backed with "No Nights by Myself", was released by Ace Records in 1955.


In the early 1960s he toured Europe several times during the height of the British blues craze, backed on a number of occasions by the Authentics (see American Folk Blues Festival), recording with the Yardbirds (for the album Sonny Boy Williamson and the Yardbirds) and the Animals, and appearing on several television broadcasts throughout Europe. Around this time he was quoted as saying of the backing bands who accompanied him, "those British boys want to play the blues real bad, and they do". Led Zeppelin biographer Stephen Davis writes in Hammer of the Gods, while in England Williamson set his hotel room on fire while trying to cook a rabbit in a coffee percolator. The book also maintains that future Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant stole one of the bluesman's harmonicas at one of these shows. Robert Palmer wrote in his blues history "Deep Blues", that during this tour Williamson allegedly stabbed a man during a street fight and left the country abruptly.[citation needed]
Sonny Boy took a liking to the European fans, and while there had a custom-made, two-tone suit tailored personally for him, along with a bowler hat, matching umbrella, and an attaché case for his harmonicas. He appears credited as "Big Skol" on Roland Kirk's live album Kirk in Copenhagen (1963).[11] One of his final recordings from England, in 1964, featured him singing "I'm Trying to Make London My Home", with Hubert Sumlin providing the guitar.


 Upon his return to the U.S., he resumed playing the King Biscuit Time show on KFFA, and performed in the Helena, Arkansas area. As fellow musicians Houston Stackhouse and Peck Curtis waited at the KFFA studios for Williamson on May 25, 1965, the 12:15 broadcast time was approaching and Williamson was nowhere in sight. Peck left the radio station to locate Williamson, and discovered his body in bed at the rooming house where he had been staying, dead of an apparent heart attack suffered in his sleep the night before. Williamson is buried on New Africa Road, just outside Tutwiler, Mississippi at the site of the former Whitman Chapel cemetery. Trumpet Records owner McMurry provided the headstone with an incorrect date of death.

Ramblin Roots -Americans Music Festival (Tivoli Vredenburg okt.23 - 2021)


A visit to Ramblin Roots also means, because the offer is so large and various artists play simultaneously, make choices. I saw the unknown Austin Lucas, he started a cappella but then went wild with a solid port of country rock. Ian Siegal , old acquaintance with an all-star band, nice performance. Afterwards Jim Keller, what and discovery! Excellent guitarist/singer supported by a Dutch backing band. I saw Alan Feiles at Ries de Vuyst last week and also came on a big stage here he did full justice, beautiful performance. Dayna Kurtz and Robert Mache flew "last minute" from America especially for this occasion to replace Rhiannon Giddens. (thanks to Sandra Zuidema) for me also one of the highlights of the festival. They got the main hall quiet as a mouse. Beautiful!! The modest Diana Jones and the solid rock of Leif de Leeuw ensured the closure. In short, a wonderful festival, thanks to the organization!!

Dayna Kurtz & Robert Mache - Doopsgezinde Kerk , Middelburg (7-3-2017)

      Ik moet er in mijn jeugd,wonende in Middelburg ,ontelbare keren zijn langs gewandeld,De      Doopsgezinde Kerk in De Lange Noordstraat.Het gebouw was me eigenlijk nooit opgevallen. Het concert van Dayna Kurtz vestigde  de aandacht op dit mooie kerkje.Het blijkt een ,zowel van buiten als van binnen een prachtig onderhouden gebouw ,en.......een prima podium voor akoestische optredens.                                  

     Raise The Last Glas
 Dayna Kurtz heb ik in de loop de jaren al diverse keren zien optreden,oa Arsenaaltheater in   Vlissingen,RootsFestival in Utrecht en de Concert en Gehoorzaal in Middelburg.Ik ben altijd onder de indruk van haar songs en haar bijzonder stem..Ze heeft iets van gospel in haar optredens en dat kwam in deze kerk mooi tot uiting.

       Reconcider Me (Jonny Adams)

       Er was geen setlist deze avond,dus een vrij willekeurige keuze uit het uitgebreide repertoire van  Dayna .Dus ook tijd voor verzoeknummers,tot veel plezier van de vele trouwe fans in de zaal.Reconcider Me mocht natuurlijk niet ontbreken,een van mijn favoriete DK nummers. Een absolute toegevoegde waarde is gitarist Robert Mache,subtiel ,maar een man met juiste accenten .                                        
       Your Always Live Inside Of Me (fragment) Bobby Charles

  De toegift  was Mijn Vlaanderen Land van Brel, a-capella ,voorgedragen in het (jawel) NederlandsVlaams en bovenstaand Bobby Charles nummer, In kerk dus zingen met zijn allen!!

 Een mooie afsluiting van deze mooie avond.Complimenten voor het prachtige geluid(Henk Tjoonk)
Programmeur Chris Tangelder, en de koster voor zijn mooie kerkje,.
