NotesThe album 'BUZZY'S buzzy' is the first solo album by this critically acclaimed singer-songwriter who came of age in Greenwich Village in the hey-day of folk-rock during the Sixties. Upon being discharged from the Navy in 1963 Buzzy went to Coconut Grove, Florida, where he and other gifed young musicians of all kinds infused folk music with rock'n roll and created a new genre that came to be called 'folk-rock.' He soon moved to Greenwich Village where he sang and played guitar and vibes with other singer-songwriters such as Tim Hardin, David Crosby, John seastian, Buffy st. Marie, Fred Neil, Bob Dylan, and many other gifted musicians who were in the process of engendering a new genre that came to be called 'singer-songwriter.' According to Rolling Stone, the release in 1968 of Tom Rush's album 'The Circle Game' marked the beginning of the 'singer-songwriter' movement. The original tracks for the album 'BUZZY'S buzzy' were recorded in London during October of 1968 on the same four track machine that the Beatles used for their album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.' This places Buzzy as one of the progenitors of the 'singer-songwriter' genre. These tracks include various other sub-genres that Buzzy participated in creating, including 'jazz-rock' and 'raga-rock.' 'Veteran of the coffee house early folk rock sing for your supper and sleep where you can living. Traveler of unexplored and hostile areas peopled with longhair hating finger-pointing audiences that wouldn't even listen. Learning his craft on battered broken guitars and antique amplifiers and writing songs about joy even when a tear outweighed a smile. Standing out in a music world overflowing with look-a- likes and sound-a-likes, like a peacock at a pigeon party. A one of a kind singer songwriter musician and human type being that feels the notes he sings.' -Steve Denaut on Buzzy Linhart. Buzzy Linhart was born in Pittsburgh in 1943. By the age of seven he was already interested in music. He started as a drummer and soon was playing the vibes, marimba, guitar, harmonica and some piano. By eighteen he had enlisted in the Navy and was playing in the Navy Band. Upon discharge in 1962, Buzzy went straight to Florida, where he met and jammed with the legendary Fred Neil. But the place where the music scene was really happening at that time was in New York, where the folk-rock phenomenon was germinating, and Neil and Buzzy agreed to meet in Greenwich Village that next summer. Buzzy moved to New York in 1963 and shared an apartment with John Sebastian, who will become a pivotal part of the Lovin' Spoonful. By this time, Fred Neil was serving as a kind of master of ceremonies at the Cafe Wha?, and was attracting Bob Dylan and other wandering minstrels of that time, including Buzzy. Ravi Shankar was having a big influence on American musicians during the 1960s. Buzzy was inspired by Shankar's improvisational virtuosity and was drawn to the raga form. Buzzy, joined Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, and others in experimenting with long improvisational jam sessions at the Night Owl and other clubs in the Village, sharing with audiences a new and developing kind of raga-rock style of music. Robert Shelton of the New York Times wrote in 1964 that Buzzy was one of the first American musicians to successfully blend rock and Indian raga. As Buzzy puts it, they were searching for that point where 'telepathy ends and making music begins.' Jessie Colin Young tells us that after hearing Buzzy sing the Dino Valenti song GET TOGETHER at the Café Au Go Go, he was so moved that he went backstage and asked Buzzy to teach it to him. Buzzy did so, the song became a monster hit and a mainstay in the Youngbloods' repertoire. Young recalls this story in an excerpt from Famous The Buzzy Linhart Story. Circa 1966, Buzzy formed a quartet called the Seventh Sons with Serge Katzen, Steve Denaut and Max Ochs. They recorded on their own many of the songs from their live set. The group received offers
