Judy Collins

As a child Collins studied classical piano with Antonia Brico, making her first public debut at age 13 performing Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos. However, it was the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the traditional songs of the folk revival of the early 1960s, that piqued Collins' interest and awoke in her a love of lyrics. Three years after her debut as a piano prodigy, she was playing guitar. She eventually made her way to Greenwich Village, New York City, where she played in clubs until she signed with Elektra R ...

The slogan "Bread and Roses" originated in the strike of women textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912. The Lawrence textile strike was unprecedented in two ways: it was led primarily by women and it was the first important strike in the United States to bring together working people of 25 different nationalities in a struggle for better wages and working conditions. During a protest march, some of the women carried a sign that said, "We Want Bread And Roses Too!" The slogan was generally picked up, and the Lawre ...

"Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in April 1962, and released on his 1963 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. It is a premier example of the protest song, posing as it does philosophical questions about peace, war, and freedom. Its popularity and timelessness can perhaps be attributed to the fact that while the song asks these questions, it does not refer specifically to any particular political event. It has been covered by hundreds of artists. Just a few of the better-known acts who have done so ...

Portuguese Communist Party - The Origins and Foundation of the Party. The Portuguese Communist Party was founded on 6 March 1921. At the end of World War I, in 1918, Portugal fell into a serious economic crisis, in part due to the Portuguese military intervention in the war. The military involvement led to an abrupt rise in inflation and unemployment. The Portuguese working classes responded to the deterioration in their living standards with a vast wave of strikes. Supported by an emerging Labour movement, the workers a ...

Leonard Cohen - Early life. Cohen was born to a middle-class Jewish family in 1934 in Montreal, Quebec. He grew up in Westmount on Montreal island. His father, who owned a substantial Montreal clothing store, died when Leonard was nine years old.

A painter who had also dabbled in piano, guitar and ukulele since childhood, Mitchell took her surname from a brief marriage to folksinger Chuck Mitchell in 1965. She performed frequently in coffee houses and folk clubs and became well known for her unique style of song writing and her innovative guitar style. Personal and often self-consciously poetic, her songs were strengthened by her extraordinarily wide-ranging voice (with a range in pitch at one time covering over four octaves) and unique guitar playing, tuning the instrument in unorth ...

EPO began in 1929 when a group of four competent musicians dreamed of forming a symphony. After several more interested local musicians joined the group, they began performing under the name, "Philharmonic Society". After several years of performances, it became apparent that a formal orchestral corporation needed to be established. With the help of Paul H. Schmidt, who became the first Board President, the Orchestra was incorporated on March 7, 1935. The Orchestra grew in quality and public respect under the direction of its first Mu ...

Newman is noted as a lyricist of considerable sophistication. He often writes songs from unusual perspectives especially the unreliable narrator. For example, "Sail Away" is a slave trader's come-on, "Birmingham" is written from the perspective of a man—"a roller in a steel mill"—who loves his ordinary life in Birmingham, Alabama, while "Political Science" complains of worldwide hate of America and proposes a final solution in a very acute ironic way. His many place-name songs, which are often archetypal examples of ambivalent Americana, ...

On July 9, 1956, Horn, following a drunk driving arrest, was replaced by Dick Clark. The show was picked up by ABC (becoming American Bandstand) on August 5, 1957 after some badgering from Clark to the network to put it on nationally, broadcasting daily (first live, then on kinescope when Clark went on tour with the singers) until 1963 and then airing weekly until 1989. Charlie O'Donnell, then a very young Philadelphia radio DJ, landed his very first network announcing assignment on Bandstand, a job he would hold until the late-1960s. ...
