TIMING IS EVERYTHING

This story follows the lives of a group of music nerds who meet at what could have been called the West Coast School of the Performing Arts in the sixties and seventies (UBC Music) because of all the talent that passes through its doors and sees them all go on to mentor generations of British Columbia’s youth.

Live music is everywhere in those days on TV variety shows all have their live orchestra and guest singers and musicians easily find work as guest artists. Late night shows all have big bands with Johnny Carson being the king. Afternoon talk shows like Merv Griffin do as well. Former vaudeville comedians and acts wind up with TV shows and they all have live orchestras and guest artists.

Live music found a home in the younger generation in the US. First, it is folk music with singers such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and Pete Seeger and others. Then, everyone starts forming a band. Most are one hit wonders breaking up soon after but they all go on to form new bands, it is contagious.

In B.C. band had just gotten on to the curriculum of public schools thanks to a small dedicated group of music educators around the province. Now, they are head-hunting for anyone musical former military bandsmen, professional musicians and young people to fill the position of band teacher in the high schools.

Universities get into the act. Anywhere that has a music program, seems to explode overnight as enrollment doubles and triples spurred on by the creativity going on all around. Many don’t finish their studies and are hired right away to fill the need for live music wherever there is a demand. Musicians are in demand and all are ready to fulfill their dreams.
