Tunes For The Troops     **Artist Showcase** Nyro was born Laura Nigro in the Bronx, New York, the daughter of Gilda Mirsky Nigro, a bookkeeper, and Louis Nigro, a piano tuner and jazz trumpeter. Laura had a younger brother, Jan Nigro. Laura was of Russian Jewish and Italian ancestry. As a child, she taught herself piano, read poetry, and listened to her mother's records by Leontyne Price, Billie Holiday and classical composers such as Ravel and Debussy. She composed her first songs at age eight. With her family, she spent summers in the Catskill Mountains, where her father played the trumpet at resorts. While in high school, she sang with a group of friends in subway stations and on street corners. She said, "I would go out singing, as a teenager, to a party or out on the street, because there were harmony groups there, and that was one of the joys of my youth." Among her favorite musicians were John Coltrane, Nina Simone, Pete Seeger, Curtis Mayfield, Van Morrison, and girl groups such as The Supremes, Martha and the Vandellas and the Shirelles. Nyro's own renditions of her songs never attained hit status, but between 1968 and 1970 a number of other singers had achieved significant successes on the charts with her works. Other artists scored hit after hit with her songs, led by the 5th Dimension’s “Stoned Soul Picnic” and “Sweet Blindness” in 1968 (then “Wedding Bell Blues” in ’69 and “Blowin' Away” in ’70). Over two consecutive weeks in October 1969, Blood, Sweat & Tears entered the Hot 100 with “And When I Die,” and Three Dog Night followed with “Eli's Coming.” In 1970-71, Barbra Streisand charted three consecutive times with Laura Nyro songs, “Stoney End,” “Time And Love” and “Flim Flam Man.” Nyro's evocative vocal style mixed jazz and rhythm-and-blues with street pop, gospel, and Broadway, and her three-octave range has led her voice to be characterized as both "a blues soprano" and "a rich, charcoal-smudged alto." In 1996, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After the diagnosis, Columbia Records prepared a double-disc CD retrospective of material from her years at the label. The company involved Nyro herself, who selected the tracks and approved the final project. She lived to see the release of Stoned Soul Picnic: The Best of Laura Nyro (1997), and was reportedly pleased with the outcome. Nyro died of ovarian cancer in Danbury, Connecticut, on April 8, 1997, at 49, the age at which the same disease had claimed the life of her mother. Nyro's influence on popular musicians has also been acknowledged by such artists as Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, Elton John, Cyndi Lauper, Todd Rundgren, Steely Dan, and Melissa Manchester. Todd Rundgren stated that, once he heard her, he "stopped writing songs like The Who and started writing songs like Laura". On April 14th, 2012, Laura Nyro was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Enjoy the variety of musical selections that the Canteen Deejays provide throughout the thread.

The Ricky-Tick was an influential 1960s rhythm & blues club in Windsor, Berkshire, England, host to many important acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and in 1966 Cream debuted there on July 28 and at the Twisted Wheel on July 29, 1966, dress rehearsals for their official debut two nights later at the Sixth Annual Windsor Jazz & Blues Festival.

In 1992, Eric Clapton revisited this Big Bill Broonzy tune (written by McKinley Morganfield) on his "Unplugged Tour" and showed-off his slide guitar chops:

In 2007, durring his run at Ronnie Scott's club in London, Jeff Beck teamed with vocalist Imogene Heep to put a unique exclaimation point on this tune which Cream revived so long ago and has undergone many versions over the years including "Whiskey Blues" and "Diving Duck Blues":

deef? I thought that my old man was the only person on the planet who pronounced it like that. Well, he and his mom, my grandmother.

Glad to provide a memory....;-}

Some of the Cubanelle and bell peppers as well as red onions are finished cooking and I’ll pick’em this week. I’m not sure when to harvest the garlic. By the looks of it potatoes are almost done and need mounding (I planted them in March). The corn is stretching at about 4 feet, but still have a long way to go. Beans are doing nicely and pears, blueberries and grapes are looking good if the birds leave ‘em alone. The only thing I’ve actually harvested so far were the strawberries (which are dormant now), some sunflower seeds and a few tiny Naga King peppers which turned red. They are mega-hot and will have to be tempered with loads of halapenos and caynnes to make chili powder. My Habinaro plants and tomatoes are flowering so I expect some fruit soon.

Cream spent a remarkable amount of time in the studio in 1966 and early '67 experimenting and learning tricks and recording techniques. Most of the resulting songs were destined for the dustbin, never serious contenders for release, but some have survived and the alert student of their art can hear the methodic processes that were eventually incorporated into their ever-expanding lexicon.

Another Cream innovation seldom mentioned was the introduction and incorporation of the extended drum solo into the rock music nomenclature. Legions of fans (including myself) went to Cream concerts simply to see the skinny wild man pound away to near exhaustion for 20 minutes at a stretch. The exhibitions of percussive mahem became legend and grew in the telling. Every band worth their cover charge incorporated the obligatory drum solo into the act and "may it be ever so, world without end", saith Drumbo Thunder.

The British Blues scene had a darkside. With success, sometimes greed follows, and there are uncountable examples of outright theft and exploitation in blues music dating back to the 20s and 30s often due to egos and illiteracy among some of the delta bluesmen who signed away fortunes. The authors of many blues songs are in dispute and their origins clouded in the orgins of jazz and obscured in the legacy of Negro spirituals. Bands who followed Cream, were notorious for changing a few lyrics or chords to American blues standards, claiming the work as their own and collecting massive royalties. Cream never succumbed to the temptation even when their version was unrecognizable. The "Muswell Hillbilly" treatment of this song from an forgotten snatch of Robert Johnson lyrics is a good example. Clapton, ever true to the integrety of the blues, gave Johnson full writting credit despite the fact that only historical musicoligists might make the connection.

Eric Clapton has always been a blues purist and frowned on some of his peers who raised theft to an artform. Never was this shunning more on display than in 2007 when surprise guest Eric Clapton joined Jeff Beck onstage at Ronnie Scott's to perform Willie Dixon's (watch) "You Need Love", as Jimmy Page and Robert Plant sat in the audience looking on. Page and Plant are millionaires several times over from royalties on "Whole Lotta Love" alone, yet, Jeff and Eric seem to be publicly poking them in the eye and enjoying it!
