"Dreamers on the Rise" - John Stewart - Tribute to John and Robert Kennedy
Переглядів 11 тис.8 років тому
Singer-songwriter John Stewart once said his song, "Dreamers on the Rise" was about the campaign workers who worked so optimistically, and ultimately, tragically, on Robert Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. I've expanded the song visually and made it more personal and directly related to Stewart's 1960s political hopes. When Stewart was a member of the Kingston Trio he personally gave Presi...

During research for "Window to the Future" I came across a live commercial circa 1950 for a 1951 Dumont television set. There are two things that make this interesting.

The second is that the commercial opens with the same actors in a N...

    Through my life I have sung this song and listened to the Kingston Trio and John Stewart sing it. Sometimes it would be when I'd broken with a lady, sometimes to feel the solitude of it, all the time to feel the spirit of it. I'd often perform it usually with a friend I was singing with. It is one of the great songs of my life.

    Funny, I'm not a dealer but I was fixing TV's after school in the 1960's for a local music store that had a Magnavox dealership located in DeLand, FL. I was a kid going into the homes of retirees and taking their TV's apart, troubleshooting them on the floor. Surprisingly, I never did see any fear in the eyes of these old owners of TV's that had just purchased an expensive radio/phono/TV console. I think they were more amused by a young kid fixing their TV!

      Ronald, interesting information. I have never heard nor found documentation that Elvis was actually planning on recording the song. I do know that it was written for him, but haven't come across anything else that an Elvis recording was in the works. Do you have some source information? It would be great to know that an Elvis recording of the song was closer to reality than I previously thought.

    A NOTE ABOUT "TV MAN" THE FILM: I have been patiently waiting for the music licensor to get back to me with a quote for the five remaining music cues in the film. The French representatives and/or the rights-holders have been non-responsive so far. If and when they do, or I decide to have a new composer replace the cues, I will create a crowdfunding campaign to raise the necessary funds. Donors will be the first to stream or own a digital copy of the film (depending on the amount of their donation). Keep checking the Facebook page and website for updates (see links above).

    This film is a real treasure and historical document of the 1964 Zenith line thank you very much for posting it. I would love to see this in HD and with improved sound. If it were possible to get the original film it could be re-transferred in HD or 4K and with just a little processing the audio could be fixed up a bit. It would look AWESOME! Great video, Cant wait to see the movie!

    • @stevekosareff9891
      @stevekosareff9891 7 років тому

      Since Bubby passed away the original film is in his family's possession. Hopefully, they will read your comment and transfer the film in HD--who knows, maybe even 4K! The sound will still remain problematic. My editor punched it up as much as possible, but maybe an experienced sound editor might be able to pull more from it. The nice thing is that the color is great thanks to the original source and the telecine transfer.

  • @stillrestless99

    I'm like you. The Trio hit it big about the time I was finishing high school. I thought I'd heard everything they had recorded. Then 20 years later - in the late 1970's - I heard this on the radio and grabbed a cassette recorder and got most of it on tape, and listened to it a lot the next few years. The Wayward Wind by Gogi Grant is still the song I relate to the most, but this is a close second. Eventually I learned that this was the Trio singing this song, and I felt pretty foolish, not having recognized them. I like this song so much that I've even written some more verses, about other towns. Now if I could only sing....

    I really liked the presentation, but it was very hard to make anything out of the audio. (I did see the explanation further down in the comments.

      I would like to know how Zenith defined "peak music power." It is not the same as undistorted sine wave output power, and there is no way that a solid state amplifier from the mid 1960s could have been so powerful.

    • @mikesamra9126
      @mikesamra9126 7 років тому

      It wasn't RMS power in those days.That was peak power and it was the total of both channels.

    • @Sta2200
      @Sta2200 7 років тому

      It comes out to about "5 to 1" in real power rating.. IOW..a "500 watt peak" amp..is REALLY capable of MAYBE :100 watts TOTAL..(50W/CH)..

    @pcno2832 7 років тому

    5:45 "114 degree" and that thing looks like a suitcase. By 1978, when my Sears console that lasted 37 years was made, the only choices were 90 degrees and (for $100 more) 110 degrees. By the late 1980s, the 19" portable TV had virtually disappeared; most of the models available were really table models with a giant "boob" on the back. Even now, very few of the flat screen TVs are really portable. I suspect that cable helped kill off this niche; with so many people hooked on shows they couldn't watch with a mere antenna, a portable TV any bigger than a radio was hard to justify.

    • @pcno2832
      @pcno2832 7 років тому

    how does the tuner on that tv work?

    • @pcno2832
      @pcno2832 7 років тому

      Some of the Zenith guys here can probably fill in the specifics, but in general, each strip was a tuned circuit and whichever one was chosen made contact with the connections needed to put it into the circuit. At the end of each strip was a gear that turned a ferrite slug (or ganged slugs) to fine tune that circuit for the station it represented; this meshed with the fine tuning "ring" when that strip was selected; since each strip had its own fine tuning adjustment, it functioned as a preset, much like the buttons on a car radio (though most radios just have a mechanical or digital "memory" for each button, not a separate tuned circuit). This was functionally equivalent to the later tuners with a row of selectors and slugs for each preset, but because they were on a rotating drum, it didn't need any digital controls to swap them in or out of the circuit.

    • @pcno2832
      @pcno2832 7 років тому

      12:45 I'd never heard of a "UHF strip" before. It seems like an ingenious way of supporting UHF without the cost of a separate tuner. I wonder if the fine tuning knob could tune the whole 14-83 band; in markets with only one or two UHF stations, that was probably good enough, at least until 1965 when a separate UHF tuner became mandatory in the USA.

    • @klafong1
      @klafong1 7 років тому

      The UHF strips were pre-set to the desired UHF channel. TV dealers would either install these strips into TVs or customers could have the strips added at a TV repair shop. In that era, the worst case scenario would be that one would need four strips (in markets where all the networks plus National Educational Television were all on UHF).

    Steve, I've heard the Phoenix concert album 200+ times and from the individual players assembled there it seems your version is undoubtedly a track recorded then, all the instruments and vocals are almost exactly the same. Unless he and that band spent a week rehearsing in some other studio--which IS possible--I'd guess that you have posted a soundboard recording from the theater, either practice or the Friday night show. You should ask Arnie Moore or Dan Dugmore to listen and comment, my brother found a recording once from Tampa and Arnie remembered the show

    • @stevekosareff9891
      @stevekosareff9891 5 років тому

      The record sounds too polished to me for a production in a large hall. It seems there would be unavoidable echo and other issues with period recording technology on location as evidenced by the "Phoenix Concerts" album. [For comparison, listen to the same song lineup recorded a few months earlier in London on the multiple artists' CD box set, "The Great Zigzag Concert" with a great digital audio restoration. It is now my favorite live John Stewart album. Hopefully, someone in the future will create a digital audio restoration of the "Phoenix Concerts" album.] I still believe that this 45 RPM RCA release was recorded in a studio and meant to be one of John's singles. If someone has documentation or information to the contrary that the 45 recording was recorded in Phoenix Symphony Hall prior to the live concert album recording, please comment here.
