  • Alison Martino of Vintage Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip, preserving LA's history and her dad, singer Al Martino

    Alison Martino of Vintage Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip, preserving LA's history and her dad, singer Al Martino
    Oct 16 2024
    Alison Martino has been dubbed “The Godmother of Los Angeles,” and with good reason. As a writer, producer, on-air host for the Emmy-nominated SoCal Scene on Spectrum News 1, and creator of Vintage Los Angeles, she has been celebrating (and in some cases saving!) the history of this great city for years. In this episode we discuss the history of the Sunset Strip - the places and spaces that used to be, the venues and hotspots that continue to represent its legendary past and the fate of its iconic staple, The Viper Room. She’ll also share memories of growing up in LA as the daughter of famous singer, Al Martino. For those of you who were lucky enough to experience the Strip in the 60s, 70s and 80s, this episode will be a nostalgic trip!

  • The Mamas & The Papas Historian and Author Richard Campbell

    The Mamas & The Papas Historian and Author Richard Campbell
    Sep 25 2024
    While The Mamas & The Papas were only together a few years, the iconic music that was made and the drama that ensued between this foursome in that short time is legendary. But what happened before John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Denny Doherty all came together? Each had their own unique journey before ultimately heading west and making California Dreamin’ a reality. My guest, author Richard Campbell, wrote a compelling book, ‘Gettin’ Kinda Itchie: The Groups That Made The Mamas and The Papas.’ It’s a prequel to this fabulous foursome's success as a group. As a close friend to the band and the “keeper of the flame,” as Michelle Phillips affectionately calls him, Richard brings us into John, Michelle, Denny, and Cass’ worlds with stories, photos, and rare album covers. In this episode, you’ll hear out-of-print songs from their previous bands - The Journeymen, The Mugwumps, and The Big 3 - songs that Richard has compiled on YouTube and Spotify. We’ll discuss their individual journeys as they strove to make a mark in the thriving East folk scene and how the four ultimately came together in the U.S. Virgin Islands and shortly after, found themselves in LA. So, let’s take a trip back to the early 60s when folk was thriving, Kennedy was alive and well and these 4 individuals were slogging it out on the East Coast in hopes of one day hitting it big. Songs in this episode (in order): “Creeque Alley” The Mamas & the Papas “Chase the Rising Sun” The Journeymen “The Banjo Song” - The Big 3 “Do You Know What I Mean” - The Mugwumps “Mr Tambourine Man” - The New Journeymen “California Dreamin’” - The Mamas & the Papas Links to Richard Campell’s channels: www.gettinkindaitchie.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThemusicofGettinKindaItc-tb7lu/playlists Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0gCs3dADXDMlSTinWFlLop?si=21406369c83e4bee&nd=1&dlsi=f6042ae5ddc94e78 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Skip Taylor - Music Producer & Manager of Canned Heat

    Skip Taylor - Music Producer & Manager of Canned Heat
    Sep 4 2024
    Skip Taylor's life and times are part of rock legend. He cut his teeth in the LA music scene in the 60s working with the who's who of rock at the time. However, Skip is best known as Canned Heat's manager and has been managing the band since the mid-60s, shortly after discovering them playing at a UCLA frat party. Also playing at that fateful frat party were The Doors, and he shares how he got both bands a record deal. Skip was in the center of it all at Woodstock and Monterey Pop, and recounts his adventures in opening Kaleidoscope, the hot nightclub in Hollywood that became a short-lived dream thanks to some greedy LA gangsters. This interview is packed with great stories from a guy who was in the middle of some of the most memorable rock moments of the time, so let’s get into it!
