International Submarine Band guitar player John Nuese has died. R.I.P.
Guitarist and songwriter John Nuese was in a band called "The Trolls" in 1965. (The
Trolls featured not only Nuese, but also Lowell "Banana" Levenger, a guitarist
and keyboardist who was a founding member of the Youngbloods, and bassist
Michael Kane, who followed Levenger into the Youngbloods in 1971). Later that year, Nuese fell in
with Gram Parsons at Harvard, where they formed Gram Parsons and the Like. The
Like became the International Submarine Band, and gradually focused on country
music, which Nuese had reintroduced to Parsons. Nuese stuck with Parsons in the
second version of the ISB, who recorded Safe at Home (LHI, 1968).
The Byrds - My Way (Volume
1) is a first-hand description of the inner workings of the Byrds and Flying
Burrito Brothers: written by James 'Jimmi' Seiter (Road Manager, and much
more). It sets the record and previous assumptions straight as to what was
really going on, from detailed personal, first-hand experience. He takes you on
his journey which began in 1966, telling his version of events as he lived them
in the form of 42 stories. It elaborates on the hard work that went on behind the
scenes, to make the magic of music happen on stage. The book recounts the daily
happenings of a few of America's foremost Rock/Folk/Pop bands of the 1960's
& 1970's.
This book is the first in a series of 10 volumes. It begins with the Byrds,
continues on to the Flying Burrito Brothers (which was a spin off band from the
Byrds) then back to the Byrds. It moves on to working with Terry Melcher, Bruce
Johnston, Brian Wilson, Alice Cooper, David Cassidy, and back to The Flying
Burrito Bros. The author's path has also crossed with many other great artists
such as Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond,
and John Denver, to name a few.
The e-book is also now

"I turned 70 on July 13, 2012. People were shocked! So was I. That’s why I
decided to record this song for the Folk Den on July 14. Last night,
July 31, my brother Brian called to tell us that my mother Dorothy had
passed away just three days after her 102nd birthday. We’d spent the day
with her in Tucson where my grandson James and I had played guitars and
sung her favorite songs to her."
