Our regular correspondent David E. sent us these two ads from his collection. Many thanks to him.

He wrote:

"Here's a couple Byrds ads I came across in my collection recently I had forgotten about. The 1969  "Manhattan " show never happened: it was cancelled and later rescheduled."

It is with great sadness that we just learned of the passing of Johnny Rogan in London on February 7, 2021.

A message from our regular contributor David E.:

Here's a pretty cool site I found that has a lot of posters and ads for Byrds concerts. 

Click on each show, then scroll down to the bottom of each page.

https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/the-byrds?page=1#concert-table
 

We haven't checked yet, but the front page makes us think that this is a mix of performances, not only by The Byrds, but also by Gene Clark's various "Byrds Tribute" lineups and by Michael Clarke's Byrds and later The Byrds Celebration. I mean:

Jun 09, 1991 Foghat / The Byrds / Tattoo Rodeo / Aldo Nova River Jam '91 Kaukauna, WI

Our regular correspondant David E. has sent us a photograph of Gene Clark and his band from 1976.

The band was called The Mendicino Rhythm Section. They took their name from being based in that area

The picture was provided by Jay Dravenstadt.

 Jay's accompanying text is as follows:

" This promotional photo was tacked up on the cork board at the entrance to The Oaks Café in 1976. 

L-R Steve Davidson, Peter Olivia, GC, Colin McNaughton, Billy Shea, Andy Kandanes. 

I thought you’d like to see this since it’s probably one of the only photos of this band (at least I’ve never seen another ). " 

Many thanks to both of them for sharing it.

Margot Cotten from France - she plays all the instruments and sings most of the voices...

"Margot Cotten is the only French girl who can actually play Americana without blushing. Playing drums, guitars and keys, she is a multi-talented singer-songwriter. Make sure to watch her new videos on Sundays. She plays covers by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Elton John, Cat Stevens, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Neil Young, etc... as well as her own material."

The Last Of The Red Hot Burritos is known as the 4th LP by the “original” band (whatever that means).

But it is also the name of a band that is heavily influenced by them.

They have an eponymous album out.

You can listen to all tracks at their Reverbnation page:

Thanks to Mike M for the info.

The band bio:

On a chance meeting several years ago in a CD shop (you know, back when folks bought music in stores) Carl Sweigert and Mike Dialesandro struck up a conversation about Gram Parsons, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and the early days of what came to be the Country Rock genre. They agreed then and there that at some point they should get together and play some of this music with which they both felt a connection.

And play that music they did, in many a late night jam session, with some other musicians they knew, and even in front of an audience or two; but never quite in the fashion they had envisioned that day in the record store.

Fast forward to late 2010 when Carl and Mike called on an old friend, Dave Greenwood, to add a second vocal and guitar to the mix. After some good rehearsals raised the trio's expectations for the project, all that was needed was a great rhythm section. Two long time Northeast Ohio musicians were added: John Gill on drums and Mike McClosky on bass and The Last of the Red Hot Burritos were complete.

The band's show is a bit of a history lesson in the birth of country rock, from pure country stalwarts like Merle and Buck, to the aforementioned Parsons projects, to more modern artists who benefited from the pioneering efforts of those early bands. It's fun, it's up tempo, and it's great music that you don't get to hear that often.

Jim McGuinn (at left with the long neck banjo) with The New Christy Minstrels.

In 1963, Jim McGuinn was playing with The Chad Mitchell Trio, and was offered to join The New Christy Minstrels. A picture of the group with him is posted above.

Before he had a chance to record or tour with them, he was offered a job by Bobby Darin, which he accepted as Darin offered to double the salary he had with The Chad Mitchell Trio. McGuinn plays on three Capitol LPs by Darin.

You can read the long, complete story of the relationship between Darin and McGuinn, as told by the latter, by going here:
