Rocking the Kanawha
On Thursday, May 19, 2016, musician and historian Terry Lowry presented “Rocking the Kanawha: The Golden Age of Music in the Kanawha Valley” in the Archives and History Library of the Culture Center in Charleston.
Long before Mountain Stage, the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame, the Clay Center, or many of the other musical outlets of present-day Charleston and the Kanawha Valley, there was an approximately ten-year period from 1964 to 1974 that has become known as the “Golden Age” of Charleston and the Kanawha Valley music. During that period the area flourished with outstanding local musicians, a wide array of clubs and venues, and a fan base that has never been equaled since. It was these musicians and the environment in which they performed that made them pioneers in opening many doors to future local musicians and paving the way for such stellar projects as Mountain Stage.
Beginning in 1964 with soul bands, such as the original Esquires (with singer Bobby Lanham), the King Sound Interpreters (with Curtis Price), The Barons, The Seven Seas, The Rooks, recording artist Turley Richards, and others, and continuing through the hippie-era bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as Heavy Rain (and their legendary guitarist Randall Wray), Quiet (with Tom Benson), The Bristols, The Mojos, and national recording artists The Mind Garage, the area seethed with musical creativity and diversity. Clubs were continually packed, outdoor festivals (such as the classic ones at Kanawha State Forest and Ona) drew thousands of fans, musical creativity was at an all-time high, and numerous national recording acts played Charleston, including Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin.
Terry Lowry is a 50-year veteran guitarist of the Charleston music scene and has performed or jammed with nearly every musician of the “Golden Age” as well as many since. He founded and edited Charleston’s first rock music “fanzine” called “The Kanawha Rocker,” was music critic for the Charleston Gazette from the late 1960s to 1979, and met and interviewed name artists from Hendrix to Canned Heat to Lou Gramm of Foreigner. Lowry has attended over 1,000 concerts and currently performs with Charleston’s Diablo Blues Band. Today, many people know him better as the author of numerous books on the Civil War in West Virginia.

I wanted to visit places I hadn't been to before - both typical highlights of the state as well as locations off the beaten path. I used AtlasObscura.com to help meet the latter condition.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
