Breaking The Boundaries With Guitar, Carlos Santana Posted By: John Carlos

Guitarist. Born July 20, 1947, in Autln de Navarro, Mexico. His father, Jose, was an accomplished professional violinist, and Carlos learned to play the guitar at age 8. In 1955, the family moved from Autln de Navarro to Tijuana, the border city between Mexico and California. As a teenager, Santana began performing in Tijuana strip clubs, inspired by the American rock AND roll and blues music of artists like B. B. King, Ray Charles, and Little Richard. In the early 1960s, Santana moved again with his family, this time to San Francisco, where his father hoped to find work. In San Francisco, the young guitarist got the chance to see his idols, most notably King, perform live. He was also introduced to a variety of new musical influences, including jazz and international folk music, and witnessed the growing hippie movement centered in San Francisco in the 1960s. After several years spent working as a dishwasher in a diner and playing for spare change on the streets, Santana decided to become a full-time musician; in 1966, he formed the Santana Blues Band, with fellow street musicians David Brown and Gregg Rolie (bassist and keyboard player, respectively).

September 10, 2010 Written by: Tyna Lewis Was there ever another time in United States history like late 1960s? The emergence of some of the most legendary musicians made the era popularized as that of peace and love even more famous. Perhaps the some of the most enduring images of this period came from the inaugural Woodstock music festival, which occurred in August 1969. If you know someone special who would love to pay homage to Woodstock and has a birthday coming up, why not throw them a fantastic, 60s-themed birthday party? It will be sure to evoke a wonderful sense of nostalgia. A good place to start planning your birthday bash is by selecting some groovy invitations. Since you're trying to pay homage to a specific era, you should be sure to include some highly-recognizable images. One direction you can take is to make sure that you use plenty of bright, psychedelic colors such as blue, yellow and pink. Purchasing invites that are adorned with plenty of peace signs or elaborate floral decor can be an equally effective choice.

Celebrate Peace And Music With A Woodstock-themed Birthday Posted By: Tyna Lewis

June 30, 2010 Written by: Tyna Lewis The original Woodstock was more than 40 years ago but its legacy still lives on. The iconic images of the peace and music festival are emblamatic of late 60s culture in the United States and some of the performances, like Jimi Hendrix's awesome rendition of the Star Spangled Banner are timeless. Although children today were not even a thought in their parents' minds in 1969, that does not mean a Woodstock-themed birthday party can be any less engaging for children and adults alike. Adding some flower power to a party will certainly result in a groovy time for all. As is the case with any shindig, the perfect invitations for your hippie happenings are an essential aspect. Sending out tie-dye invitations will surely get the message across that your party is a place for peace, love and happiness. If this design is not an option, maybe send out invitations shaped like a smiley face or a similar object that will have the same impact on the recipient. Decorations often make or break any party, but it is especially important for a Woodstock theme party because the wrong ambiance will harsh everyone's mellow.


Jimi Hendrix Posted By: Harvey Mosley



The Jimi Hendrix Story Posted By: Chris Chew

He was called Johnny Allen Hendrix or James Marshall Hendrix but was most popular known around the world to his fans as Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was born in Seattle on November 27, 1942 and passed away in Sep 1970 putting him in the "27 Club". The Club's creation were the deaths of a seemingly unusual number of prominent 27-year-old musicians within a two-year period of time, exactly. These musicians include Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. Jimi Hendrix, even until now is well regarded as one of the most influential guitarist singer in the history of rock and roll music. Hendrix first became well known in England, and then became famous worldwide after he played at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. He was a self taught guitarist and was usually seen performing with his Fender Stratocaster. As the hendrix was left-handed, he would play the guitar upside down with the strings attached in reverse order. In the year 2003, some three decades after he passed away, the Rolling Stone magazine named him the Greatest Guitarist Of All Time.


The Superb Joni Mitchell, One Of Canada's Best Posted By: Robert Wilson

One of the most-prized albums in my possession is 1974's "Court and Spark" by the amazing Joni Mitchell. Joni, born in Canada in 1943, is one of the most influential singer/songwriters of our time. In her early days she was regarded as a folk rock artiste, but in later years she has also been influenced by jazz. Moving to New York in the 1960s she played mostly at folk venues to start with, where she came to the notice of several singers and writers, and as a result Judy Collins recorded one of Joni's songs, "Both Sides Now", still one of Ms Mitchell's biggest and well-known titles, covered around 560 times by other singers. I had always thought that Joni Mitchell had performed at Woodstock in 1969, but I now know that she wrote the song "Woodstock" after the event, and had been advised not to appear there as it clashed with a TV appearance which her manager thought would be more beneficial to her career.


1968's Seven Most Fantastic Albums Posted By: Marvin J Markus

1968 is sometimes forgot about in the world of popular music with 1967 being the "Summer of Love" and 1969 being the year of Woodstock, but it's actually the year that the greatest album of all time (in my opinion) was released: The Beatles White Album. Obviously then The White Album is one of my selections for the seven "must hear" albums of 1968. Read the rest of the article for the other six. The albums are listed alphabetically by the album name (not by the band or artist name.) Astral Weeks by Van Morrison - The songs on this album are not as well known in popular music as "Brown Eyed Girl" or the songs on Moondance but in many ways this is Morrison's greatest album. When I say album I mean that term in the classic sense. This is a piece of musical art that is meant to be listened all the way through. There's no point in picking out individual songs, just listen to the whole thing. Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones - With Beggars Banquet The Rolling Stones came into their own.
