i'm lucky i think that at a young age a Monk compilation my brother had (that i have now, unfortunately) was my introduction to "modern jazz". (after Benny Goodman, Billy Holiday, etc)
i stepped right in.

That's a solid place to start.

Hallo!

My intro was my Pop's copy of the Modern Jazz Giants LP, where you can hear Miles yelling at Monk.

Isn't this Mama Cass special?
  11:10pm
Dean:

Cass Elliot appeared as a character (portrayed by herself) in the Scooby Doo cartoon series, which my kids watch on DVD and YouTube. They have no idea who she was, but even as a cartoon character she impresses them.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:12pm
Funky16Corners:

We got to see a HBR cartoon art exhibit at the Norman Rockwell museum and they had a cel of Mama Cass and the Scooby Doo gang
Avatar 11:17pm

Mama Cass was brilliant. I love her reaction shot watching Janis Joplin in Monterey Pop.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:18pm
Funky16Corners:

One of my favorites. Such a great voice and personality.
  11:30pm
Dean:

Coincidentally, I'm just now scanning a series of posts by Al Martino's daughter about '60s-'80s LA. She displays a photo of a 1966 issue of KRLA's Beat magazine from April 1966. Among the upcoming concerts there announced, "Mama's and Papa's" at Hullabaloo. Hullabaloo was a club that shortly became the Aquarius Theater, where "Hair" premiered.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:35pm
Funky16Corners:

That place has a very interesting history. I think it may have started as the Jerry Lewis Theater where he did his early 60s TV show
Avatar 11:39pm
geezerette:

Think in the 30's it was Earl Carrol's , a cabaret club. Above the entrance were,(supposedly), the words,"Through These Portals Pass The Most Beautiful Girls In The World". Oh, Hollywood.
  11:40pm
Dean:

According to Martino, it started as the Earl Carroll Theater in 1938, then Moulin Rouge from '53-'66, then Hullabaloo, and in early '68 Kaleidoscope. Canned Heat was the house band, the proprietor being their manager (and brother of comedian Phil Hartmann), until it was renovated later that year to host "Hair."

Shoot, check it out: http://martinostimemachine.blogspot.com/ Great pix of Eddie Cochran and Brian Wilson shopping at Wallich's Music City. (I've been there!)

This set reminds me of kerosene lamps and Celestial Seasonings.
I studied hippies in their native habitat.

I'm a little young but always aspired to a kind of hippie-hood

A little young to be an actual hippie. Not actually young...

i was a child hippie, or at least so i thought! the teenagers (and 20somethings?) generally thought more favorably of me than my chronological peers. where i lived i was the one and only boy with long hair within 2 grades in elementary school.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57pm
coelacanth∅:

i like Richie's version of here comes the sun, especially.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:57pm

I begged to have long hair, to no avail.

Funky16Corners:

Richie had one of the GREAT voices
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:59pm
coelacanth∅:

my brother and i worked on my parents starting when i was in first grade. we had crew cuts until then. each school year we managed to get it longer and longer until it was past my shoulders in 6th grade.

Oddly enough I looked like a stray Hell's Angel but never owned a bike (though I wanted one in the worst way). I couldn't have pulled it off. I encountered the real thing a few times. I wouldn't have made it.
