Today is the birthday of Louis Thomas Hardin, aka Moondog, born on May 26, 1916, he was an American musician, composer, theoretician, poet and, as was Harry Partch, the inventor of
several musical instruments from odd parts. He was blind from the age of 16.
Although his music is symphonic, it ain't Johann Strauss!
No frothy bon-bons here, however, there are touches of beauty and quiet
to be found in his works. His music has been performed by major orchestras all over the world and he has influenced many artists.
Moondog ~ Moondog
vinyl LP front cover
Hardin lived in New York City
from the late 1940s until 1972, and during this time he could often be
found on 6th Avenue, between 52nd and 55th Streets, wearing a cloak and a
horned helmet sometimes busking
or selling music, but often just standing silently on the sidewalk. He
was widely recognized as "the Viking of 6th Avenue" by thousands of
passersby and residents who were not aware of his musical career.
Born to an Episcopalian family in Marysville, Kansas, United States,
Hardin started playing a set of drums that he made from a cardboard box
at the age of five. His family relocated to Wyoming and his father
opened a trading post at Fort Bridger. He attended school in a couple of small towns. At one point, his father took him to an Arapaho Sun Dance where he sat on the lap of Chief Yellow Calf and played a tom-tom made from buffalo skin.
Moondog is a gatefold album so that when it opens up, the front and back cover create a very large image . . .
Moondog ~ Moondog
. . . and the interior of the album has the luxury of the traditional informational format with additional photos by Fred Lombardi whose images were also used on album covers for The Electric Flag, I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! by Janis Joplin, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. by Bruce Springsteen, The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions by Miles Davis, the Raspberries and many many others.
The music of Moondog
Some of the segments are preceded by short
lines from his poetry. The opening, Theme, is a bouncy delightful venture with staccato
strings, flute and what sounds like bongo drums (they aren't) followed
by brass which all build to a grand finale. This is followed by the ponderous Stomping Grounds with tympani doing most of the stomping.
Moondog ~ Moondog
Symphonique #3 (Ode To Venus) is one of those beauty spots I mentioned earlier. The violin duet opening is right out of a Haydn music book. A delightful foray for strings, it is very lovely.
Symphonique #6 (Good For Goodie)
is a syncopated, jazzy and bouncy festival for reeds with trombone and
tuba backup followed by brass. It could very well have been written in
the heydays of Harlem.
Mini-Sym
#1 is almost a continuation of Goodie at the beginning but after a
minute or so, it settles into a fugue, slows down then starts up again
into a fast and syncopated rhythm. A little later in the work, Bird's Lament revisits it.
Although it is less than two minutes, Bird's Lament
is a tour de force with its fast pace that is a sweet reed heaven with a
syncopated and jazzy beat and a snare back up.
Witch Of Endor
is delightful! The first movement is almost danceable; the second is
mysterious with vibrato stings; the third is a plodding tune with oboe
and clarinet swirling around each other while the strings create the
drama then the whole orchestra joins in. The Finale is very slow and
dramtic at first then it goes into the original dance with oboe and
violin that are joined by bassoon then orchestra which all softly fade
out. I would have liked it to have a definite end but then, I'm not the
composer!

20,000 Vinyl LPs 187: Blind Faith & Bob Seidemann
~
The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching number one on both sides of the Atlantic and receiving mostly positive reviews.
Blind Faith was released on Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and Europe and on Atlantic Records in the United States. It topped the album charts in the UK, Canada and US, and was listed at No. 40 on the US Soul Albums chart. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA.

The first and only album by Blind Faith was released fifty years ago today on June 22, 1969. They were an English rock group comprised of Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech. The band was anticipated by the music press as a continuation of Clapton and Baker's former group Cream and Winwood's former group Traffic but they split after one album and a tour.
The story of Blind Faith is not a pleasant one according to the memoir, Born Under a Bad Sign, by Johnny Black in Mojo Magazine and featured on the Ginger Baker website (link below). Black says the group should have been the "Golden Child" instead it was Rosemary's Baby. The group was doomed before it even started due to inexperience of the members and the indifference of Clapton.
The album drew controversy for featuring a photograph by Bob Seidemann of a naked prepubescent girl holding what appears to be the hood ornament of a Chevrolet Bel Air, which some perceived as phallic (what kind of phalluses were THEY referencing?), on the front cover, and it was banned in the United States.

On a list by Rolling Stone
of "The 30 Greatest One Album Wonders", Blind Faith was at 14, while
songs such as Can't Find My Way Home and Presence of the Lord were
described as "incredible". Classic Rock Review spoke positively of the album, saying the critical acclaim it had received was "well-deserved". The German edition of Rolling Stone ranked the album as the 140th greatest of all time.

Winwood composed a lot of the music on the album. My favorite song is Had To Cry Today.
It starts with a moderate speed tempo with a simple but dissonant
feeling. As it progresses it gets more complicated with some fantastic
guitar work by Clapton. At almost 9 minutes there is plenty of time to do some interesting experimenting.
Their cover of the Buddy Holly song, Well, All Right has some really nice piano and organ work by Winwood.
Presence of the Lord is a slow, stroll down a dreamy lane that picks up speed and gets a bit rowdy before settling back down again.

Side two consists of just two songs, one of them a 15-minute jam
entitled Do What You Like. The violin playing by Grech in Sea of Joy is a very nice breath of fresh air.
The band was able to produce two hits, Winwood's Can't Find My Way Home and Clapton's Presence of the Lord.
