Andrew Gold Memorial Concert - L.A., November 19th, 2011
Friends and relatives of the late singer-songwriter Andrew Gold gathered on Saturday in L.A for a musical celebration of Gold’s life. The musician, who passed away last June at the age of 59, was one of the most well-loved artists of the L.A. scene.
Son of Academy Award-winning composer Ernest Gold and of classically-trained soprano Marni Nixon, Gold took his first musical steps in the Seventies as part of the Linda Ronstadt group, and reached individual success in the second half of that decade with hit singles like “Lonely Boy” and “Thank You For Being A Friend”. In the Eighties, Gold formed the successful new wave pop-duo Wax with ex-10cc member Graham Gouldman, and kept being quite active as a musician and producer after the group disbanded in 1990, right up until recent years.
Among the many artists and friends who got on stage to pay tribute to his memory and musical legacy were singers Rosemary Butler and Deborah Pearl, keyboard player Jon Gilutin, drummer Rick Marotta, Lee Sklar on bass, Gold’s three daughters Emily, Victoria and Olivia and his sister Melani. He will be dearly missed.
Some of the musicians who gathered last Saturday in L.A. for the Andrew Gold Memorial Concert.
Singers Rosemary Butler and Deborah Pearl are joined on stage by Andrew Gold’s sister Melani and his three daughters Emily, Victoria and Olivia.
A few more artist posts will be available on the following days (Paul Anka, Mike Reno..) plus some big pictorial upgrading: images from Lee’s scrapbook, never before seen snapshots, and so on.. Thank you BeardBassman! Turn on, tune in and stay that way.
On Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th of November Lee taught bass clinics for a group of young Japanese students at Citrus College, Pasadena, CA. Here are a couple of souvenir snapshots from the Saturday lessons (thanks to our roving reporter BeardBassman for allowing us the opportunity to follow). You will find more images from the class in the upcoming Scrapbook page.

Notes: 1) This is the fourth album by Canadian group Klaatu. 2) Above image and following credits were taken from the US vinyl release on Capitol ST-12080 (1980). 3) Album does not come with either musician or tech credits. Roles of band members at the time of the sessions and recording location were inferred from the interview database at www.klaatu.org. I want to thank that website's owner, David Bradley, for being so kind as to allowing me to make use of said material for the compilation of this post and for some help with last-minute adjustments. 4) In the above mentioned interviews, Klaatu member John Woloschuk and “Endangered Species” producer Christopher Bond (→ Hall & Oates) explain how album was recorded in Los Angeles, and that a number of L.A. session musicians were chosen to lay down basic tracks prior to group members adding vocals and overdubs. Lee was one of these musicians and the highlighted tracks indicating his contributions in the above track list are the result of both Mr. Woloschuk’s and Mr. Bond’s recollections of the recording session process, expressed in said interviews, along with those of the other two band members Terry Draper and Dee Long. You can read the full text of these interviews at the following links (just click on them to be redirected):
The above is true also for the other session musicians mentioned in the following credits. 5) Please note how John Woloschuk’s recalling reaches two different conclusions about Lee’s presence on track 8. On the Q&A article dated May, 2006, he mentions it as one of the two tracks he later overdubbed bass on. 6) Please note how in above interviews no other bass player except Lee is mentioned as having taken part to the recording sessions of “Endangered Species”. Track attributions in this post are therefore the result of Mr. Woloschuk’s recollections, which were found not to be conflicting with Mr. Bond’s notion that Lee played bass on ‘at least a couple of the tracks’. 7) At the same link for the fans Q&As you will find a list of demoed songs that had been taped in preparation for the “Endangered Species” album sessions. Please note that the existence of subsequent versions of these songs recorded with the participation of Lee or of any of the other session players at the time is not a sure thing, and could only be confirmed by Mr. Bond’s master tape copies, as he explains in the above-mentioned interview. 8) Also according to what related on same sources as above, Klaatu’s drummer Terry Draper was not featured on the finished album as such and only appears as a vocalist. 9) “Endangered Species” was re-released on CD by Bullseye Records of Canada. This edition will have liner notes by Klaatu members Terry Draper and John Woloschuk, and by producer Christopher Bond. Please check back for further addition about this release on this very same post. 10) Please check bottom of post for entry about the “Knee Deep In Love” single original 7” mixes.

Notes: 1) This is the solo debut of Loverboy’s lead vocalist Mike Reno. 2) Album was recorded in the early Nineties and due to be released on Sony, but it was ultimately shelved until Mike Reno himself released it as a CD via his own website www.mikereno.com. This website is not currently online anymore (November, 2011). 3) No musician credits are included in the CD album’s booklet. Lee was however one of the studio players performing on the recordings. 4) According to web sources - namely www.melodicrock.com/reviews/mikereno-renovation.p3 - other tracks were cut at recording time but eventually dropped from the final release. Same website mentions guitarist Tim Pierce as one of the original session musicians involved in the project. 5) End of track 1 is somewhat truncated. 6) Track 6 has a drop at 2:43. 7) It is not clear from the very minimal tech credits if engineer Humberto Gatica was the recordist for the whole album or only for the closing track “All I Ever Needed Was You”. 8) The only songwriting credits included in the CD album notes are for track 10.

We have already published a post about the September-released “Listen To Me: Buddy Holly” CD album, a star-studded tribute to one of the great heroes of rock’n’roll, issued by Verve and executively produced by Peter Asher. Now, as previously announced, comes the TV special, in the form of a concert which was taped with some of the stars originally included in the CD recording along with some other high-caliber guests.

Update: here is a → link to a Los Angeles Times article indicating December, 3 as the date of first airing of the concert special, and that the DVD will be offered during pledge drive as a thank you to PBS subscribers.
Our roving reporter at large, BeardBassman (wonder who is hiding behind that nickname…) took this lovely picture of our Leland Sklar and Oscar- and Grammy-winning lyricist Hal David about one week ago. Picture was taken behind the scenes of “Love, Sweet Love”, the Mark Taper Forum event held on October 17th, 2001, celebrating Mr. David’s 90th birthday. Leland was one of the players in the concert, a star-studded tribute to one of the most legendary wordsmiths in the history of American popular music. You can read more about the event by clicking → here. Happy Birthday Mr. David! (and thank you, Mr. BB!)

A bass clinic with him, Steve Bailey and Jonas Hellborg (JoStLe) is scheduled to be held in Clinic Room “A” today, Saturday, October 22nd, from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

“Thanks Be. // This album is a labor of love, starting with Holly’s own. Buddy’s legacy is a testament to the great love Maria Elena Holly has shown for more than 50 years to her young husband’s music his talent, and his vision. We are delighted that she loves the music on this album. Peter Asher, Executive Producer, makes no bones about Buddy’s songs, either: he “loved them all.” Every artist, musician, and technician performing on this album was open about her love for Holly’s music. Each brought a love for his craft and this music to every note played, verse sung, and track laid down. Thank you // Many others gave with open hearts to make this album, celebration, and project the most outstanding tribute to Buddy Holly’s music possible. Our amazing staff are the foremost, especially Melika Atic and Reni Calister. Our friends at Verve and Universal have given outstanding support at every level. Despite the admonitions of Shakespeare, we thank our wise counsel - especially Rochelle Kerner. Plan A Media forged their full-steam-ahead publicity and Doreen D’Agostino gave committed assistance early on. We have had unwavering help from the “Fearless” Brian J. Murphy, the fabulous Tisha Fein, the lovely Ivy Skoff, and the incomparable Phil Hack and David Leaf. We are inspired by the devotion of Peter Bradley, John Thomas, Kevin McGowan, Molly Mayeux, and Dick Cole to Buddy Holly’s music legacy - and his guitars! Our colleagues at Peer Music, MPL and Universal have done much, hallelujah, to put Holly’s “Star” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sean Keepers and Brent Carpenter made us all look good, literally. Thank you. // Peter Asher’s music here is extraordinary. The thoroughly modern yet utterly authentic renditions of Holly’s works here sing for themselves. But the music is not all of the story to this album, and this album is not the entire story of the “Listen to Me” project - a series of celebrations of the True.Great.Original. Artists who forever changed contemporary music, re-interpreted by today’s leading artists to raise support for the next generation of music’s greats. This was one of Buddy’s personal goals. In his footsteps, “Listen To Me” will benefit three music industries charities that support new, great talent. Thanks be to all, from Songmasters.”.
““Listen To Me: Buddy Holly” will benefit designated programs of: // The Grammy Foundation // Songwriters Hall Of Fame // Artists House Music”.
“Benefitting the next generation of music’s greats - a program of Songmasters”.
Track 10:
“Original 1976 version Re-Mastered 2011”.
Excerpts from the Song-by-Song Liner Notes by producer Peter Asher
“Not Fade Away - Stevie Nicks // Stevie Nicks’ voice and style are national treasures! She is a valued friend and as one of the very first people we invited to be part of this project, Stevie had first pick. I initially suggested another song but Stevie chose “Not fade Away”, and how right she was. I co-produced this track with my dear friend and colleague (and one of the very finest guitarists in the whole of rock and roll), Waddy Wachtel and we brought in the legendary rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar. Waddy and Stevie had worked together as a team for quite a while so it was the perfect setup. And I was very privileged to join Lori Nicks and Sharon Celani as one of the “Bopettes” in singing our version of the original background parts! Stevie’s vocal was cut live - she sang with an intensity and determination that is a treat to hear. (…) // Well All Right - Lyle Lovett // One of the most amiable, charming and intelligent gentlemen in the music business with a wonderful voice to match, Lyle is another favourite singer who said “yes” right away. I was visiting him at his recording session in Los Angeles and asked him on the spot. We picked up a couple of guitars and tried out “Well All Right”, which seemed to suit Lyle perfectly. I sang some harmony parts, we both played and it sounded right - so we called up our shared favourite rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar (along with guitar maestro, Waddy Wachtel) and cut it just that way.”.

Singles
“Private Conversation” - EU 3-track CD single - disc screen print
“Private Conversation” - EU 3-track CD single - front inlay
Lyle Lovett
Private Conversation/The Road To Ensenada/It Ought To be Easier
Curb/Edel 0078295CUR (1996) - Germany 3-track CD maxi single
1 - Private Conversation* - (Radio Edit) 3:50 2 - The Road To Ensenada* - 4:11 3 - It Ought To Be Easier* - 4:11
Notes: 1) This is an EU release of the single “Private Conversation” originally included on the Lyle Lovett album “The Road To Ensenada” (see entry above). 2) Track 1 is a radio edit version of the same album track clocking in at 3:50 as opposed to the album version, which is 4:32. Radio edit cuts out: a) one “hey hey” repetition right before the last “and his hand it fell behind her” verse; b) the last “no one heard her say, it was a private conversation…” repetition before ending. Also, radio edit ends abruptly with a sudden cut/reverb after only one “hey hey” repetition on the coda, while original version starts fading out after second repetition and fades out completely after third and a half. 3) Tracks 2 and 3 are same versions as on CD album. 4) CD single comes with no musician credits. Please refer to CD album credits for complete musicians listing.
