George Wein 100 Happy 100th birthday anniversary, George Wein!

My latest li’l movie is about George Wein. If you have ever been to an outdoor music festival, your life was touched by his work. He was a firehose of grand social ideas and global ambitions. I hope my admiration for him comes through as you watch the film.

Man, I’m no good at this blue sky thing. This was supposed to be about Andrew Hickey in response to your post on Carlos Ward (at least I figured out that it’s not pronounced “blooskie.” I’m making progress).

His piece on Louie Louie identifies the Pacific Northwest in the late 50's/early 60's as the locus of the shift of rock n roll being a Black guy at a keyboard to a White guy with a guitar. The arranger he credits for allowing this to happen is none other than Carlos Ward.

Have you been listening to Andrew Hickey's podcast "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs"? As a researcher, he makes me look like a shallow googler.
