Beaker Street FAQ

Beaker Street was a hit, ironically, for doing just the opposite of what was considered the formula for successful "hit radio." Indeed, rather than playing the current top-100-type-tunes and hyping oral flatulence all over the airwaves, the soft-spoken Clyde Clifford concentrated on album cuts from albums that simply did not get airplay.
I mean, the average musician can have a home studio set-up now where he can cut studio-quality stuff.
I do feel that Beaker Street was responsible in this part of the country for a lot of this music ever having gotten out.

Arkansas Business 20th Anniversary

The eerie background music of Beaker Street was used to mask the hum of the machinery since the show didnt broadcast from a conventional studio.
Improbably, in the late 1980s, Beaker Street was resurrected on FM and again on Sunday nights.
But the parents of many of those Beaker Street fans could remember a day when broadcast was strictly an agricultural word to describe the scattering of seed.

Andy Cohen remembers Blind Jim Brewer

He was also recorded by Testament for the classic issue Blues For President Kennedy, and for a Swedish radio broadcast, now reissued as Bluesquartier. Jim was a journeyman musician with a large repertoire of blues, gospel and folk material, and managed to carve out a living for himself and his wife.
Needless to say, the tape recorders, the mikes and the autoharp all came from Maxwell Street.
The primary substrate on which he did this was Maxwell Street.

Peter Green & The Splinter Group '98 Reviews

Peter's tour date down in San Diego was at an annual street musical festival called Street Scene, where many musical acts occupy about 10 stages for sets between an hour and 90 minutes, over a three day period.
Peter signed Renees CD, KE Gils book and CD, and a couple of CDs for me (interestingly, "Green" on my old BBC CD, and "Greenbaum" on the new Splinter CD).
Peters singing is spot-on. No, this is not the singing of Peters yesteryear; this is Peter Green now, in the moment, just as he always was.

Pink Floyd Keep Shining On

During a Pink Floyd tour of New Zealand, guitarist David Gilmour bumped into a busker on a street corner doing Floyd songs.
Pink Floyd havent broke up, but then again, there are no long term plans for a new record or a tour.
Mason, who races in his 1962 Ferrari GTO Le Mans and is considering some film projects, is willing, as is Wright who is recording a solo album.

Sherlock Holmes - definition of Sherlock Holmes in Encyclopedia

Holmes was said to have lived at 221B Baker Street, London (an upper-storey flat at 221 Baker Street; in early notes it was described as Upper Baker Street), where he spent many of his professional years with his friend and colleague Dr.
It is a popular myth that Sherlock Holmes gave rise to the entire genre of murder mystery fiction; in reality, the detective genre was alive before Holmes, if not one which followed a logical progression to the solution.

linda.html

Waiting tables and staying in a room without even a window, Linda would play her guitar and sing her own songs out on the street in the city.
In 1989 a bass player by the name of Christa Hillhouse who'd been playing in a bunch of San Francisco bands, asked Linda to be the singer of this new band that she was in with Shaunna Hall and Wanda Day, and that was the beginning of 4 Non Blondes.
Supposedly Dawn and especially Christa weren't really into having a guy in their band and weren't all that nice to Roger and that was why he was kicked out not too long after they made it big with their album.

'Desert Roses' tour imports sounds of the Middle East

Just as Khaled gave a musical voice to Algerian youth, Hakim created a soundtrack for Egypt's younger generation with the up-tempo sound of jeel, an offshoot of a style of urban street pop called sha'bi.
Khaled grew up in Algeria listening to early versions of rai -- and Elvis Presley, James Brown and the Beatles.
Khaled agrees, adding, "In a way, it was a good thing that the tour was postponed, because now it's more important than ever that we bring the message of unity and good will through music.

kanegon.com Presents: Catcher Toys of hide

The first features hide in his hip street clothes and knit hat, which you get a glimpse of in the Beauty and Stupid video.
Hide's high energy music incorporates many different styles and influences, and never falls into the typical self-indulgence that you might expect from a guitarist's solo material.
Hide, Pata and Heath each come with a cardboard guitar which is sewn to their hands.

NothinButDaBlues Spotlight Artist August '01

Blind Willie Johnson, another street musician, was the primary influence on Rev. Brown's musical style.
Reverend Brown overcame many obstacles in his life to become one of the last great practitioners of the genre street musician.
Reverend Brown returned to Americus in the mid 1950's and began to routinely play the streets of Macon which he would continue to do until his health forced him to quit around 1979.

Family

This must have been an incredible impediment because he enjoyed listening to music as much as he did play as a professional brass band musician.
Sam attempted to teach another relation the rudiments of brass windery but was absolutely mortified when he saw his young protégé nephew one day cycling down the street with his cornet bouncing behind on the end of a piece string!
Sam Brown, brother of 7 sisters (including Margaret, Doris, Elizabeth, Phyllis and my dad's mum Lillian) married Alice Beardsall and lived in Stanhope Street in Reddish, Stockport for most of his life.

The HistoryMakers

For more than forty years, Wheeler has worked as a cab driver by day and blues musician by night, and for this reason named his 1999 CD release Cab Driving Man. Because of his continued presence in the Chicago blues scene, Wheeler was featured in the June 1996 issue of Living Blues.
As the Maxwell Street Market area was threatened with redevelopment, Wheeler was active in efforts to help preserve the Maxwell Street Market and its longstanding role in the blues community.
Wheeler was also a regular on the Maxwell Street blues scene, where many legendary blues performers got their start.

Amazon.com: Steve Perry - Greatest Hits + Five Unreleased: Music: Steve Perry

His follow up to Street Talk was shelved and Perry did not release his second solo album until 1994.
Although I am a HUGE Journey fan (when Steve Perry was in it), I was only aware of Steve's "Street Talk" album and the hits that came from it.
If you are a fan you will not be disappointed with this collection of songs, if you've never heard Steve's music before you will be astounded.

The future’s bright; the future’s digital.

In another endorsement of Apple hardware, professional skateboarder and musician Chad Muska (who features prominently in Activision’s Tony Hawk series of videogames) recorded the entirety of his 2002 ‘Muskabeatz’ album in hotel rooms using a Powerbook, as USB keyboard and copies of Reason and Steinberg’s Cubase.
Any aspiring musician can create and reach an audience through the net, as the world wide web has created a market of thousands of smaller niche markets, with web users more than happy to browse for rare, alternative and esoteric music.
Recognising the influence of home computers in today music scene, Tom Vek will be playing a special one-off gig at Apple’s flagship store on Regent Street in London as part of the iTunes’ “Live From London”.

LCD 20 James Carr: Way Out on a Voyage

Carr's place in soul music history is assured with the original version of "Dark End Of The Street," the version to which all others are still compared.
Carr today doesn't see himself as the man who made the Japanese tour, or the man who sung the early hits.
Carr puts on the headphones and stands in place-there's no music yet, and it's hard to tell whether it's Carr there or just his shadow.

Blues Access: Backstage Notes

Seeing a blind man playing guitar on the street, Oster assumed Snooks was a folk-blues musician and cast him as such in his first solo recordings.
All Snook up: Like many a Crescent City musician, Snooks Eaglin is revered by New Orleans-ophiles but elicits an "Oh yeah, I think I mightÂve heard of him" from the rest of the blues/RandB public.
Every year it seems like there are more and more of these events, and thatÂs a good thing, both for the musicians Â who have more gigs to play Â and for those of us looking to get out and hear bands that donÂt come through town every week.
