After a line interview in Los Angeles - and Zephyr
Date
the music that interested me the most is started in 1954 and in 1977, there were only three sports questions (on cricket, and also the two cricket tragics on our table too easy, right) and a typewriter related question, I felt almost useless ARTSOUND quiz last week. I think I answered that at most two or three questions, and be then decided to put the desperadoes desperate to prove. Nevertheless, with this albatross around the neck, the team of Peter Crossing still in fifth place.
Not that I let it ruin my weekend. The demand for music that interested me the next day brought me into contact with a man named Lenny Lipton. Lipton lives in Los Angeles Laurel Canyon with his wife, three children, “the dog Snowy Wonderland, another dog, a cat, a fish and a bird of bad temper,” or so, he said.Advertisement: Story continues below
So no one takes this menagerie has a less fertile environment for creativity, I would reassure them like: Lipton is the “father” of electronic stereoscopic display industry and the inventor’s main state-of-the-art technologies, the filmmakers their films in 3-D screen enable. His work is also the basis for much of today’s 3D TV technology. For all that, until Saturday morning, I had never heard of Lenny Lipton. his name, at least as far as I remember, was not part of the application on the title of a song that we have been asked by quizmaster ARTSOUND, the Clinton White. This came in the form of White omitting a number of proposals in a drip type of fashion, seemingly irrelevant information from insignificant clue, and it was mostly “friends of friends”. But, of course, if the “typewriter” was mentioned the word in all this, my ears. The next morning I searched the whole story behind the question. And that 217;s when I came across the name Lenny Lipton, and tracked down in Laurel Canyon. The satisfaction to be able to do to erase all traces of persistent frustration of the night before. The slower release of the Clinton White had vague information to the front, the greater our disappointment about it is not able to solve the mystery and identify the song. Gone What I was asked to examine the question of popular mid to late 20s Century popular song, originally written by someone like a poem with a friend of a friend’s typewriter, and his friend, a friend and found the poem on his typewriter, had turned into a song. The poem was in another poem, written long before. One of our team members suggests Turn! Turn! Turn! , the 1965 hit for the Byrds, which was based in 1959 on the book of Ecclesiastes by Pete Seeger. Our man offered willingly to pay the fee of $ 10, so we were able to collect and return to competition. I started following the example o f Flower of Scotland , which is quite a clear indication of how badly I was doing, thinking. It finally came to us. Puff, the Magic Dragon , recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary and a chart hit in Australia in fog in 1963
The true story behind the song is. The poem was written in 1959 by Lenny Lipton on the little portable typewriter, Peter Yarrow in an apartment in Ithaca, New York
Lipton recalls. “In the spring of 1959 I wrote the poem, the song was Puff, the Magic Dragon I was a freshman physics [] I was studying at Cornell in the library. At just Willard Hall, Students Union Building , and had a poem I am a Dragon by Ogden Nash [ The Tale of Custard the Dragon , written by Nash in 1936] when I walked down State Street to house Peter Yarrow -. of the ” Peter “Peter, Paul and Mary, and who set up my poetry into music was – I thought to myself, ‘This is better than Ogden Nash poem I by a dragon.” Maybe I “
The house we have the 19 – year’s Lipton had addressed was, by his friend Lenny Edelstein, occupied such as yarrow -. Yarrow and typewriter When reached, the apartment was empty, leaving Lipton, and spent less than five minutes on a typewriter tapping Yarrow own poem Yarrow.. . found in his typewriter, he turned to music, and, hey presto, a great success all over the wor ld is born When I contacted Lipton at Laurel Valley, I asked – as perhaps I should just – what model of typewriter used yarrow. Lipton could not remember, but made contact with yarrow, which provided us with enough detail for me to identify the machine as a Smith-Corona Zephyr Green. I said, I thought, seemed a typewriter called Zephyr Green appropriate for Puff . I sent a picture of my Lipton Green Zephyr, and he passed it on to Yarrow. Later I asked permission Lipton, the picture in a book that he can no longer continue writing about brothel . Since both Lipton and Yarrow understandably sensitive to suggestions Puff as an ode to smoking drugs was written, I managed to keep all of our exchanges, I had a thought Yarrow, the universal application Underwood was. it at that second model, that Jack Kerouac wrote On the Road and some of the works of William S. Burroughs transcribed. No, that would never do a universal Underwood. Puff fro m the same model? Do not go there, you. ‘ / P> oztypewriter@hotmail.com
