Manzanita Harmony had fabulous concerts on July 7 in Tomales and July 9 in our home venue, the Christian Science Church in Santa Rosa. Fully engaged singers and audience members. A lot of emotions with joy topping them all. Here is a 5+ minute video of concert excerpts.
Music & words by Tim Lopez, the lead guitarist with the pop band, Plain White T's. Arranged by Deke Sharon and David Wright. An upbeat song about and love and making the most of what can be a fleeting feeling.
Music & words: Bob Dylan. Arranged by Manzanita Harmony singer Spencer Causey. Bob Dylan wrote Mr. Tambourine Man in 1964 after attending Mardi Gras while on a cross-country trip with friends. The song has been covered by many artists, most famously by The Byrds in their debut album in 1965. Dylan has never explained the meaning of the lyrics other than to say Federico Fellini's movie La Strada was an influence.
Music & words: Jerry Allison, Norman Petty & Buddy Holly. Arranged by Deke Sharon & Anne Raugh. First recorded and released by Buddy Holly's band the Crickets in 1957. The title came from the film "The Searcher" in which John Wayne repeatedly used the phrase "that'll be the day."
Music & words: Fred Rogers, arranged by Michael Webber. In 1969, at a congressional hearing called in support of President Nixon's plan to cut funding to PBS, Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, concluded his testimony by saying "There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you, just the way you are." Congress defied Nixon and double PBS funding. Rogers wrote this song two years later.
Music & words: by Nashville writing team of Roger Murrah & Randy Van Warmer, arranged by Mark Stevens. The country/rock band Alabama released their recording in 1992. It reached #1 on the Billboard country music chart and sold more than one million copies.
Words and music: Conrad Eugene Mauge Jr., arranged by Thomas J. West from the version performed by Rockapella. This calypso/reggae tune, written in 1953, references evil spirits from Caribbean folklore believed to cause wild, uncontrollable dancing. Our arrangement was written by a member of the a cappella group Rockapella, Sean Altman. His arrangement launched Rockapella's career.
