Claudio Gratton's entomology research focuses on how our agricultural landscapes influence the lives of beneficial insects. In this podcast, Claudio sits down for a conversation with a former student of his, Dr. Jeremy Hemberger. Hemberger, Gratton, and their colleague Michael Crossley have just released a paper showing that it is not necessarily the amount of land in agriculture, but the diversity (or lack thereof) of agricultural crops that has the greatest impact on bumblebees. Their research supports the idea that agriculture can provide ecological benefits and support beneficial insects as long as it mimics the biological diversity of healthy grasslands. To learn more about this research, or to see the excellent illustrations developed for the project, you can visit the Gratton lab website at https://gratton.entomology.wisc.edu/ This research was recently featured at https://news.wisc.edu/midwest-bumble-bees-declined-with-more-farmed-land-less-diverse-crops-since-1870/This podcast is made possible thanks to a Sustainable Agricultural Systems Coordinated Agriculture grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

Technik aufs Ohr - Der Podcast für Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure
Nicht erst die aktuelle COVID-19-Pandemie erinnert daran, wie groß die Gefahr durch Infektionskrankheiten ist. Vor allem die Erforschung und Entwicklung von Medikamenten und einem Impfstoff wird gerade weltweit mit enormen Summen vorangetrieben. Eile ist auch dringend geboten bei bisher fast 400.000 Todesfällen. Zudem droht jährlich Gefahr durch bakterielle Infektionen. Schon seit Jahren wirken viele Antibiotika nicht mehr; Bakterien entwickeln zunehmend Resistenzen. Die Folgen sind dramatisch. Jedes Jahr sterben jährlich etwa 500.000 Menschen an Infektionen mit resistenten Keimen. Im Podcast Technik aufs Ohr fragen Sarah Janczura und Eike Röckel bei Jürgen Hemberger nach. Er forscht und lehrt am Institut für Biochemische Verfahren und Analysen an der Technischen Hochschule Mittelhessen. Sarah und Eike gehen zudem der Frage nach, ob die Medikamentenproduktion aufgrund von Corona nicht zwingend wieder nach Europa zurückverlegt werden muss.

The band Boston was designed and invented form an engineers perspective… that engineer is Tom Sholt. Sholtz is a graduate of MIT, with his formative years spent playing piano with Beethoven, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky… until he heard the Kinks. Then he picked up the guitar when he heard Jeff Beck. Then Jimi Page.

10 guitars will be made from reclaimed materials from Jimi Hendrix's home, CES was kinda boring this year in my opinion, who knew downloading illegal files off torrent sites could be risky, more on Youtube's mess, Samsung is releasing GDDR6 GPU memory, and I want to where a diaper to a concert.
The band continued to play under the name Pigeons as they recorded their first album and played local clubs. According to Carmine Appice, from his book Stick It, the band was playing a club on Long Island, when they were on a break, they started talking to a waitress named Dee Dee. She mentioned that her grandfather used to call her Vanilla Fudge… The band looked at one another and said… "Yeah, that’s it." The band’s name would be Vanilla Fudge.
We meet Eric Sharp, the man behind the intro voice.

The band was only together for two years. Buffalo Springfield was a collection of mutually ambitious, very talented individuals who happen to form a group that profoundly influenced the folk rock genre and showed the way for artists like Jackson Brown, Glen Fry, and Don Henley. The original band was Steven Stills Guitar, Neil Young Lead guitar, Rickie Furay Guitar, Dewey Martin Drums, and Bruce Palmer Bass. Stills, Young, Furay, and Palmer, met playing gigs in Toronto and Ontario with bands The Myna Birds… and The Ah Go Go Singers. Drummer Dewey Martin came from the country-side of music playing with artists like Patsy Cline and The Dillards.
After the 3rd album, Pretzel Logic, Steely Dan stopped doing live shows. Fagan and Becker were always impressed with the Beatles work, so they took another cue from them and became a studio band. The record company was furious… Until they saw the sales figures. The audience didn’t care. They just were hooked on the Steely Dan Sound.
When you think of Steppenwolf, the band’s two songs huge top 10 songs come to mind, both released in 1968, Magic Carpet Ride and Born to Be Wild. But dig a little deeper, and you find that Rock Me did reach number 10 on the Billboard charts and The Pusher got a lot of airplay from FM jocks… So I discount some critics saying this band was one short of being a one hit wonder.
Episode 28 Grand Funk Railroad sprang up in 1966 from Don Brewer’s band The Jazz Masters. A former Disc jockey, who wanted to be a singer in a rock and roll band approached Don one night after a gig and not only talked his way into the band but also got them to rename the band to Terry Knight and the Pack. He got his way because he could get gigs. Soon Mark Farner joined as a bass player.
The band grew out of three hard working LA solo singers deciding to make a go at it as a threesome. Danny Hutton, Corey Wells, and Chuck Negron were lead vocalists moving around the LA music scene all having various degrees of success. But nothing on the scale that was about to become Three Dog Night.
Episode #26 After the Success of working with Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and a host of other successful acts, Jeff Porcaro and David Paich wanted a band of their own. The new band was made up of mostly high school buddies that had played together in a group called 'Still Life' at Grant High School in Van Nuys. The original Toto was Steve Lukather- guitar, David Paich-Keyboards, Jeff Porcaro drums, brother Steve Porcaro on an another set of Keyboards, David Hungate-Bass, and Bobby Kimball-lead Vocals.
Show #25 In 1968 the 2nd generation of BS&T went to work on the album that became the band's best-selling album. It was a mixture of pop, jazz, folk, and R&B. James Willian Guercio was brought in to produce the album because of his work with the Buckinghams and their horn arrangements. The 2nd BS&T album was called simply "Blood Sweat and Tears." It had many top 40 hits that are sill propelling the band today.
Bill Bruford, Yes’s original drummer, once described the band as Multi-cultural and Multi-Ethnic… he was not describing the personnel of the band… but the musical influences of the band. Yes pulled elements, and actual melodies, from Country Music, Jazz, Classical, and were even influenced by American TV themes. Yours Is No Disgrace, according to Bill Bruford was pulled from the 1960’s America TV show Bonanza.
Gene Cornish remembered that first rehearsal as a life changing event. He said, “They immediately jelled and were a tight little band right from the start.” After getting a show list of cover songs, The Rascals were off playing local Jersey and New York Clubs and getting noticed. From the time the band first sat down as a simple basement band to their first single, was less than a year.
As with many of the Classic Rock Bands of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s lucrative branding was developed so bank accounts could keep full and so the Bands Play on… sometimes even without any original members; as it is with Iron Butterfly. Such is not the case with Kansas. There have been get-togethers of the original members from time to time in the past twenty years. But as of 2017 drummer, Steve Ehart is the only original member playing with Kansas.
Every band is like a Dysfunctional family. Fights and arguments rule the day with such strong egos. Soon chaos broke out in Focus and bass player Cyril Havermans left before the first worldwide tour. He was replaced by Bert Router. Their next album in 1972 was Focus 3. A double album that FM radio wore out the grooves again and it produced a mild hit with Syliva. Find out the whole story in the latest Under The Classic Rock.
In the late 50’s Bob Gaudio had been picking up studio work as as keyboardist for producer Bob Crewe. Then Crew started to use the whole Four Seasons band working as session players and singers. One night Crewe decided to take in a four seasons performance at a local New Jersey club. It was that night, on a whim, Frankie Vallei started messing around on stage mimicking Jazz Singer, Rose Murphy’s High falsetto voice. It was just a goof. Crewe heard it said that’s it: That’s the sound.
It was not so much the orchestra that molded the Moody Blue’s sound as it was the Mellotron… a keyboard instrument that essentially has a tape player hooked up to each note of the keyboard. It enabled them to take an orchestra to their live shows. It was an early form of sampling. Listen to part two of The Moody Blues:
Ray Thomas and Mike Pinder had been playing with a band in Hamburg Germany called El Riot and Rebels… when they returned to England they had both decided that they wanted to become professional musicians and started recruiting the best players from the 250 bands in and around Birmingham to form the Moody Blues.
Their biggest hit and some say Motown’s biggest hit, was initially just an instrumental track created by the Motown recording unit The Funk Brothers. Holland, Dozier, and Holland wanted to experiment with the track and called in the Four Tops first to try some new ideas. They laid down some vocal tracks thinking it was nowhere near complete. Then Berry Gordie heard it and said, no, it was done. The Tops pleaded with him not to release I Can't Help Myself.
The name of the first Mama Papa’s album is Lou Adler’s actual reaction to when he first saw the group. Adler made it habit of not looking at bands who auditioned for him… When the Mamas and Papas were finished… he looked around and said to himself - "If you can believe your eyes and ears…" Wow.
Traffic strived for an authentic organic sound. They did very little over-dubbing throughout their career. They purposely kept away form the lavish over-dubs of the over-produced bands like Yes and Pink Floyd.
The band played around the Ohio - West Pennsylvania circuit and gained the reputation of being a great live act to catch; though Fox was still not happy with the guitar chair. So, the band went through a succession of guitars players. Then one day a player from a local band called the Measels knocked on his door saying he wanted to try out for the band. It was Joe Walsh.
The band had numerous name changes, at the beginning, Navy Blue, John Evan Band, Candy Colored Rain, Ian Anderson’s Bag O Nails. The name that stuck was given to them by a booking agent that was getting sick of the monthly name changes. He suggested the name of an 18th-century farmer that invented the seed drill. It stuck.
Some true and false about The Chicago Transit Authority: True - The band had to reduce their royalties because of the multi-album format of the band's first four releases. And false… they didn’t stop doing double albums because of running out of material. It was their record company, and it’s policy of only paying royalties on only ten songs on an album… the first four Chicago albums had between 12 and 31 songs.
The Band was completely managed and produced By Dave Clark. Early on in their recording careers, Clark had the foresight to own all the master tapes and all the songs rights, which was unheard of at the time. According to the likes of Paul McCartney and Elton John, it was pure genius.
In 1966 after years of wallowing with little Aussie success, Barry, Robin and Maurice headed back to England. But ahead of them, they sent a demo tape to Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, he liked it, gave the tape to Robert Satigwood, who was working for Epstein at the time. When the brothers docked back in England in January of 1967, they hooked up with Stigwood; he got them a five-year contract with Polydor records.
Now, there have been legendary rhythm sections associated with recording studios that have played on thousands of records for pop legends; the Funk Brothers with Motown, The Swampers with the Mussel Shoals studios, in Alabama, the west coast sound from the Wrecking Crew… MFSB out of Philadelphia and SalSoul out of New York… but Booker T and the MG’s had more chart presents and was much more of an established act then any of them.
This is the first Under The Classic Rock podcast on the Monkees. New shows return next week. Coming in 2017 - Four Tops, James Gang, Bee Gees, Chicago, Tower of Power, Blood Sweat and Tears, and I kick off the new year with Booker T And The MG's. Happy New Year and thanks for listening to the UCR. Bill H
FOR MOST OF THEIR 45 YEARS OF CRANKING OUT MUSIC IT’S BEEN ZZ TOP WITH A SLICE OF HAM. MANAGER BILL HAM WAS A HUGE INFLUENCE ON THE BAND FROM THE BEGINNING. HE ALWAYS KEPT THAT ZZ TOP SOUND PURRING ON ALL CYLINDERS.
EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE VOCAL AND GUTIAR OVER DUBS THE SONG, IN A GADDA DA VIDA, WAS RECORDED IN ONE TAKE; THE BAND THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING A SOUND CHECK FOR THE STUDIO ENGINEER.
NOW YOU EITHER GOT THEM, OR YOU DIDN’T. WITH ALBUMS TITLES SUCH AS FREAK OUT, UNCLE MEAT, BURNT WEENEY SANDWICH, AND WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH… THE MOTHER’S OF INVENTION PUSHED THE ENVELOP.
