(36,216 posts)John Fogerty regrets he didn't sign with Arhoolie Records, convinced Chris Strachwitz would given him an honest shake. What's more, Arhoolie Records (Down Home Music Store) was in his home town, El Cerrito, Calif.

(27,648 posts)I think I once met the lady who co-owned that music store...Her husband had died but she ran a little music store in Clearlake, CA. & said that she & her hubby had sold CCR their amps, guitars etc. back in the early '60s down in the East Bay somewhere
(I think she was telling the truth)
Brother Buzz
(36,216 posts)Strachwitz owns the whole enchilada, the years are all wrong, and Down Home Music only sells recordings. I'm thinking your lady friend might have been talking about another music store in El Cerrito.
Down Home Music was established in 1976 by Arhoolie Records founder Chris Strachwitz as a (brick & mortar) retail outlet for Roots music releases from various labels throughout the world.
Curiously, Chris paid cash for the brick and mortar building from the profit from one song he 'owned': I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag. Chris Strachwitz ultimately gave the rights back to Country Joe McDonald, and ironically saved Country Joe a boatload of money in legal expenses over the nasty copyright lawsuit.
On Edit: Chase down This Ain't No Mouse Music (it's on Netflix); Chris tells the whole story of Country Joe McDonald and how he ended up owning the funny little song.

(36,216 posts)John Fogerty totally despised the man and wrote Vanz Kant Danz to piss him off. That is, after he changed his name a bit to avoid, still, another lawsuit

(27,648 posts)Zaentz sued Fogerty over "The Old Man Down the Road" claiming that it was "a blatant re-write of Fogerty's own "Run Through the Jungle" which Fantasy Records owned the rights to."
Zaentz essentially sued Fogerty for plagiarizing himself.

(36,216 posts)I'm always amused that the kids from Northern California totally defined "Southern rock". Not unlike what Buck Owens and Merale Haggard's "Bakersfield sound" did to Country music.
You just know John Foggerty spent late nights listening to AM radio stations in the Central Valley beaming in that "Bakersfield sound" when he wasn't cranking up the dinosaur Victrola.
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch

(14,539 posts)There is a reason why "Louie, Louie" is considered a NorthWest anthem.
It was played by virtually every band and recorded by many.
But in 1961 a recording made it's way onto local radio by an early NW band.

(115,280 posts)and what were they?
jmowreader
(50,453 posts)One died in a gardening accident that the authorities decided was "better left unsolved."
One choked on vomit. They don't know whose vomit it was, because Scotland Yard can't dust for vomit.
One spontaneously combusted on stage at the Isle of Lucy jazz-blues festival. The band wasn't overly upset about this one because hundreds of people spontaneously combust every year.
One exploded on stage.
And another one exploded on stage whilst touring Japan after the band reformed.
It is more than apparent that being hired as a drummer for Spinal Tap is a deferred death sentence; anyone who plays drums for that band IS going to die horribly and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.

(64,425 posts)He left because he didn't like the change in direction on the album wit "For Your Love".
Beck replaced him. Page came in soon after on bass, but switched to 2 guitars.
Beck left the band after 1 or 2 shows on the US tour & Page became the only guitar player.
