Spiritual Kvintet II


Spiritual Kvintet



Spiritual Kvintet

Next reorganization of the group became with leaving of Karel Zich, in season 1973/74. Spirituál started to show with tramp group (later named Brontosauři) with brothers Jan and František Nedvěd and Zdenka Tosková. Next year leaved Jarka Hadrabová and came Eva Lifková.

Spiritual Kvintet

In 1980 Eva Lifková married and went to Francie, in its stead became Irena Budweiserová. Very short time, we had seen also Lenka Slabá and Jan Nedvěd in the group.

Spiritual Kvintet

During revolutionary events (November 23, 1989), the group sang on Prague squares, (two presidents sang with them Vaclav Havel and George Bush senior). For next american president Bill Clinton, the group showed in Reduta in January 1994. In this time, the member was Karel Zich again. František Nedvěd became in 1992 after his brother after recording of album Rajská zahrada.
In 2000 Olda Ortinský leaved Spiritual, came Jirka Cerny, who was band-master of music band C&K Vocal.

Spiritual Kvintet

Year 2004 was written by black letters to the history of this band. This year, exactlu in July 13, their member Karel Zich drowned in the Medi, during his diving trip. It wasn´t the first time, what the band lost one of the members (two of the foundation-members, manager of the band), but it was the first time, what Spiritual had to say good-bye to one of the youngest members from actual arrangement.

It was very hard leave-taking. Karl Zich was great singer and player (his nick was Elvis Presley of Czecho-Slovakia).

In September 2004 became Jiří Holoubek to the band from Relief.

The next member Oldřich Orlický dead in May 3, 2006.

Spiritual Kvintet I


Spiritual Kvintet



Spiritual Kvintet

This music band was established in autumn time in 1960 by four members of Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, mainly by initiative of Ivo Mach, nick name Dědek (Granfather). It was man quartet. Members were Miroslav Keller (tenor - nick Velký Bubo (Great Bubo)), Miloslav Kastelovič (barytone - nick Kagan, or Malý Bubo (Small Bubo)) and Jiří Tichota (usually bandmaster - nick Tichák).

Spiritual Kvintet

The first public presentation came after 2 years, on International Jazz Festival in Karlovy Vary. The name was Spiritual Kvartet and this band was the first folk music band in Czechoslovakia. In that time, the word "folk" was unknown in this area. That's why they present themselves on jazz concerts, usually with band Junior Trio, S+H Quintet or Tradiotional Jazz Studio P. Smetáčka. With last band they recorded some albums for recording studio Supraphon.

Spiritual Kvintet

It was so long time ago, when they had listened american legend music band The Weavers. From that time, they wanted to be like them. After Věra Nerušilováwho was also a member of band Incognito Kvartet, Růženka Helebrantová (nick Odetta) came in and from that time here is Kvintet. Later the band had more members, but the name didn't change more.

Spiritual Kvintet

From 1964 Spiritual Kvintet had periodic program in Theathe Na Zábradlí. In 1967 two members Mach and Keller leaved band (they went on long-term business trip abroad). Next year (in August) Růženka emigrated to Swiss.

Spiritual Kvintet

Everybody thought this would be end of this band but it didn't. In 1969 came Karel Zich and Jarka Hadrabová. The band showed also with Olda Ortinský Dušan Vančura and Honza Thorovský (he substituded Kagan who returned to Slovakia).

This membership existed only 4 years, but during this period the band wined recognition on country and folk festivals (Porta 70, Golden Tele 71). Also they changed scene to Theatre Atelier. They released their first albums in czech Písně amerického západu and Písničky z roku dva.

Spiritual Kvintet

As I said more times (try to see Rangers, Taxmeni, Greenhorns, Fešáci), came normalization and everything pertinated with it. Club were closed, some students had to leave Faculty, band had to finished its activities. Fortunately only for shot time.

Creator of Country Anthem II - John Denver


John Denver

I remember that time, when I heard John Denver's songs the first time. It was in the night on Saturday, by radio in my room on school hostel. I was in bed and listened program of regional radio. Every Saturday was devoted to some country or folk singer. That day it was John Denver. I know the song Take me ome, Country roads, in Czech (by Michal Tučný) and English version, but I didn't know, who sang it in original or who is author of that. I should tell you, ussually it doesn't matter for me, who sang or composed or wrote the songs. For me, it's important if I like it or don't. The song Take me home, Country roads was only one songs by John what I knew in that time. On that Saturday, I listen about 20 songs and I liked it so much.

John Denver was the most popular folk singer and songwriter of the 1970s. He was born on December 31, 1943 in Roswell, New Mexico as Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr..

His father was Henry John Deutschendorf, Sr., the Air Force officer and flight instructor. John grew up near airport and airplanes. Maybe that's why he liked flying so much. But it's important to tell he had had some troubles with his father.

When John was years old boy, he received accoustic guitar. It was present by his grand mother. He started to learn during the time on college at local pubs. In the same time he adopted this next famous surname "Denver" (from the capital city of his favourite state).

In 1964 he leaved the University (Architecture at Texas Tech University) and went to Los Angeles, California, where he sang in folk pubs. One year later, he started with music folk group The Chad Mitchell Trio. Later band renamed to The Mitchell Trio and then Denver, Boise, and Johnson (the names of band members: John Denver, David Boise and Michael Johnson).

Creator of Country Anthem I - John Denver

John Denver

I think nobody is her who have never heard this legendary song, which became the Country Anthem. I know, everybody knows the name of it. Yes, you're true. It's Take Me Home Country Roads by John Denver.

I don't know how many translation this song has, but in our language it's known as Veď mě dál cesto má and this song is sung by many singers and also near every campfire and country festivals.



That's why, here it is:
TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS
Written By John Denver, Bill Danoff, and Taffy Nivert

Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama
Take me home, Country Roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrop in my eye

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama
Take me home, Country Roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour as she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama
Take me home, Country Roads

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama
Take me home, Country Roads

Take me home, Country Roads
Take me home, Country Roads

Take me home, Country Roads


Take me home, Country Roads

In the forest near Camden there was erected the bell tower to the memories of Patsy with help of Loretta Lynn and Dottie West. The bell plays hymns daily at 6:00 pm, the hour when her death. Many item, which were found in the place of airplane crash, were donated to The Country Music Hall of Fame.

Heavenly sound from the Grand Ole Opry II - Patsy Cline

Patsy ClineIn Decca Records Patsy started to cooperate with famous director Owen Bradley, who was responsible for success also other country singers - Loretta Lynn and Brenda Lee.

The most successful record in Decca was ballad I Fall To Pieces. The song had in the top of two charts - country and pop. It could tell you, it was also the most famous song of Patsy Cline. It was written by Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard. The other famous songs were Crazy, Who Can O Count On?, She Got You, Strange and When I Get Through With You.

The dream of Patsy was to sing in Grand Ole Opry, and this dream came the true in 1961. Patsy Cline became the greatest star of it.

Patsy befriended with many women, with came to Grand Ole Opry and help them with their carriers, such as Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee, Dottie West, Barbara Mandrell, Jan Howard, Roger Miller, Hank Cochran, Faron Young, Ferlin Husky, Harlan Howard, and Carl Perkins.


Honky tonk pianist, Opry star and Patsy's friend Del Wood said of her:

"Even when she didn't have it, she'd spend it — and not always on herself. She'd give anyone the skirt off her backside if they needed it."

and singer George Riddle said of her:

"It wasn't unusual for her to sit down and have a beer and tell a joke. She'd never be offended at the guys' jokes, because most of the time she'd tell a joke better than you! Patsy was full of life, as I remember"


The year 1961 wasn't only happy of her. She had very dangerous car accident (the second) in Nashville and she was near of death. She spent on month in hospital. She received many greetings and flowers from her fans. After leaving the hospital, she had many marks of accident in her face. But she didn't lose fans.
The friend Loretta Lynn sang Patsy Cline's hit Crazy and got standing ovations. This song was during the Top 10 in three different charts (Hot Country Songs list - No. 2, the US Hot 100 list - No. 9, the Adult Contemporary list - also No. 2).

Patsy Cline was the pioneer in record industry, who showed the female could surpass the men in record sale and tickets of concerts. She opened the door for the other singers such as Lynn Anderson, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood.

Heavenly sound from the Grand Ole Opry I - Patsy Cline

Patsy ClineShe was famous but also maximum schlemiel.


I'd like to introduce Patsy Cline, American country music singer, She was born in September 8, 1932, in Winchester in state Virginia as Virginia Patterson Hensley.

Her career started very early. As 4 years old girl, she won amateurish tap-dancing competition. Later she started to learn to play on piano and to sing in church with her mother. Patsy as small girl decided to be famous singer.

She went to radio and asked to sing in radio show there. DJ Jimmy McCoy agreed and new talent was on the world. Her ascent wasn't finished, it was only beginning. In 1948 she won trip to Nashville, where Patsy presented herself in some clubs. After that, she returned home.

In 1953 she married with Gerald Cline. This marriage was short, only 4 years. The second man in her life was Bill Peer, who gave her name Patsy. But he wasn't her husband. It was Charlie Dick.

Patsy became on Connie B. Gay's Town and Country television show and also had appearances in Grand Ole Opry.

In 1955 she singed the contract with Four Star Records and recorded song A Church, A Courtroom & Then Good-Bye. During years 1955 and 1957 she released more materials in honky tonk style, but without big success. The Record's producer had insisted Patsy would record in country style and during contract with Four Star Records she released 51 songs.

Great moment of Patsy's career came in 1957. She met Charlie Dick , the love of her life. And also she won talent competition - Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scout and was invited to show again. She sang song Walkin' After Midnight, which became hit in country and also pop charts. This song was also in her the first album Patsy Cline. The song was written by Don Hecht and Alan Block and she didn't like it. But the song had success and she decided to recorded it as single.

In 1958 Patsy and Charlie moved to Nashville in Tennessee (after the birth of the third child - daughter Julie).

In 1960 the contract with Four Star Records finished and she decided to sing new with Decca Records-Nashville. She also started cooperation with Randy Hughes, who became her manager. Her career started to grow up to the top.

Loretta Lynn - part I

Loretta Lynn     Few day ago I watch one movie about life of famous country singer, Loretta Lynn. The name of that was Coal Miner's Daughter.

She was born in small village Butcher Hollow in Kentucky, April 14, 1934 to family of coal miner Melvin "Ted" Webb and his wife Clara Marie (Ramey) Webb. Her own name was Loretta Young. She was the second of eight children. She grew up in same village. Maybe somebody didn't know, she is also from one side Indian, because her mother was of Scots-Irish and Cherokee ancestry.

     She was married in January 10, 1948 to Oliver Vanetta Lynn, who was known as "Doolittle," "Doo,". Yes, you see right. Only in her 13 years old. Very young. Her husband had to promise to her father two things: 1., he has never beat her, 2., he has never taken Loretta far away from her family house.

The wedding day was very poor, only few people. She hadn't any experiences of married life and houses works, as she said she was uneducated. Doo worked, she was housewife. But without any knowledges of cooking, of housekeeping. Maybe that's why Doo was angry with her and bagged he. She returned home, to parent's house. In that time she was pregnant but she didn't know it.

Doo decided to leave Kentucky and went to Washington. When he got to know about pregnant we changed decision and stayed with Loretta in Butcher Hollow. To her 17 years old, she had already 4 children (Betty Sue, Ernest Ray, Jack Benny, Doo - I hope I write right). In 1951 they left to Custer, Washington. There she was full time mother.

She started to sing as child in church, but after wedding she stopped it. Again she started to sing from her children and around their house. Doo liked it and that's why he bought her guitar, although she wasn't able to play on it. Loretta learned to play during cooking, during many house works.

One day Doo invited her to pub and there she began singing in local club - Grace Hall. The first embarrassment went away and Loretta had great success. From that time she sang more time but Doo had other plans. Next step was recording single named I'm A Honky Tonk Girl and Doo sent it with her photo to many radios.

It looks her life is on right way, and suddenly hard blow, her father died (1959). Loretta taxed herself with her leaving to Washington.

New plans - open her sing career. Her children stayed with grand mother in Kentucky and Loretta with Doo started to visit all radios, where they sent her single. They took Regional Record Reports and started. The first step was to play her song. In radio they wasn't put it, but Loretta was relentless and it was well.

Loretta Lynn     The brake point came when she got 14 of full-state hitparade. In that time Doo decided the time is right to come out in Grand Ole Opry. Loretta had never hoped to be there, but it was in Ernest Tubb show. In white hat and in own sewn dress, Loretta was light point of this show. Step by step her fame was growing up and she was in Tubb's show next week again.

After that the success show changed success show.

One day she sang song especially for Patsy Cline, who had car accident. Patsy's husband Charlie Dick invite Loretta to Patsy's room in hospital where she was. Both women found affinity and the friendship started. Loretta went with Patsy on Patsy's tour. Doo went with them.

Loretta became famous, her husband started to go back and it wasn't what he wanted. He drunk, to be aggressive.He still love her and that's why he made decision - Loretta continued in tour, he went home.

Loretta is pregnant again. Patsy make plans but she died during returning from benefit concert(at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas) at plane crash in March 5, 1963 near Camden, Tennessee. Patsy Cline was 30 years old. Loretta was broken-hearted.

The pregnant was ended by childbirth of twin girls. As soon as possible she returned to concert's activity.

Loretta Lynn     Again she was busy, she traveled on tours, recorded albums, showed on concerts. She became the most favourite country singer, especially The first Country Lady.

The concerts were very strenuous, Loretta slept more in bus as in normal bed in house and she started to have headache. She have taken medicaments, more and more. Tempo is hard, on next tour Lorette was traveled with her husband Doo, but problems of her health has deepen. She didn't remember song words, she is run-down and in the end she flaked out direct on podium.

Later she spent time on their Ranch with her husband and her children. Doo decided to build new house.

The free time was very important for her, she returned to the light of reflector, with new vitality, with new songs.

During the movie, I thought: Yes, it was very long time ago, it was normal, it was in 19-teen century. It can happened only in that time. And after movie? Stop, it was in 20-teen. Loretta is still the first country lady. And she is good example that when man wants something and work on himself, he can have success. REMEMBER IT.
