The 1968-69 Katahdin Lodge and Camps Music Soundtrack
Magic City Morning Star – Apr 18, 2008
I had brought some of my record albums and a cheap stereo up to Maine from my home in Dundalk Maryland. I was a dedicated record collector and music listener. Dedicated to Rock and Roll Blues and Rhythm and Blues music. I had that cheap stereo out in my tiny sleeping cabin. Out there the toads living under the floor heard a lot of Eric Burdon and the Animals the Yardbirds Rolling Stones Them (featuring Van Morrison) and the Best of Muddy Waters. I’m in a real good mood so I’ll tell you something no one else remembers. Keep this to yourself OK… Because all except for about twenty of my good friends guys and girls who would sometimes turn me onto new music the kids in the cafeteria all banged trays plates forks knives and spoons while yelling hollering and booing at a steadily increasing very loud decibel level. “That is a true historical fact. It wasn’t black kids from Dundalk’s all black (in ’67) neighborhood Turners Station who started it and made the most commotion. But they had not yet experienced their God given previously denied by man unbridled freedoms of school desegregation long enough to feel strong enough to protest against a white student’s choice in what got spun on the lunch room record player.

Chicago music makes landing at airports
Chicago Sun-Times – Apr 18, 2008
The “Terminal Tunes” program began two weeks ago and will be announced formally Wednesday at O’Hare. Songs are being played from 30 albums including “Alone & Acoustic” by Buddy Guy and Junior Wells “Deep Blue Bruise” by the Deep Blue Organ Trio and “Chicago Country Legends” by the Sundowners. “It covers alt country klezmer music blues jazz polka classical big band” said commission executive director Paul Naktin. “We’re promoting the Chicago music community. The music is “mostly instrumental” added Jill McGee deputy commissioner of marketing and communications for the Aviation Department. There’s no alt rock punk house rap or metal on the premise that travelers are agitated enough. And although Chicago is the birthplace of gospel music religious content makes those songs difficult to be played in an airport setting… New Orleans also plays local music over airport speakers. “We don’t necessarily prohibit genres of music” said Nancy Coplin music coordinator at Austin-Bergstrom International for the past nine years. “We have rock reggae country all genres of Latin music and blues. We don’t have metal rap and hip-hop. “The volume of the music is more background. We have gospel music. We probably have 2300 CDs in our library that are Austin-related musicians.
