When Hootenanny appeared in March
1963, it held a lot of promise. Each segment was taped at a
different college campus, the audience consisting of students. Shows
ran for a half-hour on Saturday night, and featured four acts. The
music was literally non-stop. Host Jack Linkletter (eldest son of
Art) would quickly introduce each artist or group, and they all took
turns after doing a song. During the thirty minutes a "headliner"
act did three or four songs, two supporting acts did two songs
apiece, a third act (usually a soloist) did one song, and everybody
joined in for the closing number - usually something simple like
Goodnight Irene or "Little Liza Jane."
If it's
remembered at all today, it's as the show that blacklisted Pete
Seeger, a last gasp of McCarthyism that led to a boycott by Bob
Dylan; Joan Baez; Peter, Paul & Mary; The Kingston Trio -
practically every folk act that meant anything to the masses.
In the hopes of filling that hour
with more stars, the network offered to drop the Seeger blacklist,
provided he sign "a loyalty oath." After his temperature cooled to
under 100, Seeger turned them down and his manager made the story
public. The news caused even more artists to join the boycott and
that, unfortunately, killed the show. To fill time, "Hootenanny"
went beyond folk music to include stars of jazz and country, and
each show featured a young stand-up comic such as Bill Cosby or
Woody Allen.
Headliners generally consisted of
those few "name" acts remaining after the boycott: The Limeliters,
The Chad Mitchell Trio, Theodore Bikel, or The Brothers Four.
Supporting artists included Judy Collins, Oscar Brand, The Clancy
Brothers and Tommy Makem, and The Smothers Brothers.
The Big Three performing on
Hootenanny
Does anybody remember? If you
watched and were psychic, perhaps you predicted future pop stardom
for "Papa" John Phillips when he appeared with The Journeymen. Or
"Mama" Cass Elliot when she came on with The Big Three. Or Jim
"Roger" McGuinn as he played guitar for Judy Collins. Or maybe David
Crosby when he showed up with The Modern Folk Quartet. Then again,
maybe you just tapped your feet and sang along. Sadly, it appears to
be no longer possible to enjoy
Here's
the theme song,
which debuted in the fall of 1963, and was released as a 'B'
side by The Brothers Four. |
