It’s “TB” History Time at the University of Richmond this Fall
Muddy Waters once said, “The blues had a baby and they called it Rock and Roll.” If you love Rock and Roll, then you will enjoy knowing more facts about the songs which were and still are a driving force of music today. Where did it all begin? Who had the first rock and roll song? Was it “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley and the Comets? Well, honestly, the answer is “No”.
Join Tony and special guests this fall on the campus of the University of Richmond for three two-hour sessions beginning Thursday, October 8 and the following two Thursdays – October 15 and October 22 – from 10a to 12n. In addition to Booth’s overall view of rock and roll, he has invited guests to come discuss certain artists from Virginia and, in particular, Richmond who had an impact on rock and roll.
During the first session, Tony will discuss the early influences which both R&B songs, gospel and jazz had on rock and roll from the late ‘40s through 1959. Ron Moody, singer, song writer and who spent years working for various worldwide record labels, will talk about “Beach Music” and how it started. He also will highlight the rise of Elvis Presley in the mid-50s. Then, Don Gunter from the Library of Virginia, who has done extensive research on Tommy Edwards from Richmond, will examine the career of the only Richmonder to have a number one song in 1958.
From the teen idols to the Beatles, the rise of Motown Records, the Memphis Sound and more, the second week is the music of the ‘60s, the AM radio stations which played those songs, the DJs who spun the songs, and the Vietnam War and its influence on the songs of the late 60s. Judge Richard Campbell, who knew three of the four Mamas and Papas, will highlight their career and their unique connection to Virginia in general and Richmond in particular.
The third week deals with the music of the ‘70s from the James Taylors to Disco. It was a decade some thought was a great decade for rock music and, yet others, thought it was the worse. Joining Tony is Steve Bassett, local musician and song writer, who will discuss the influences of Richmond musicians, the night clubs in Shockoe Bottom, and his career with some of the top artists of that time and now.
Registration for the fall session begins August 1. Visit the Osher Institute online at scs.richmond.edu/osher or call 287-6608 for more.
