NORMAN LUBOFF: NEW & NOW

"Days of the 60s. Days of ferment. Churning subcultures exploding under pressure and erupting through a crusty surface of staleness. A time of revolution. A time to look around and take stock of ourselves and our situation. And to change that which has never before been changed. Sweep away the old and stagnant! Bring up the new!

Music of the 60s. Excitement of sound and form, Music of life...of love. The old formulae are being cast aside. The new is where it's at. The world is changing. We are changing. And with us is changing our music.

Man's music An extension of his soul. And soul is what it's all about. Only with soul can there be music. Only with music can there be soul.

The middle gorund, so often straddled by the so-called creative mind, has been banned by the new generation. The new generation wants life. Give life! Give love! Give feeling and expression, or give up!

Say what you have to say. Say what there is to say. Do your thing, man, do your thing! And you will be swept along with the excitement of the 60s. It's the era of love. The era of life. Of soul. Learn to speak the dialect of love or be left behind. Say it in accents of brain-wrenching psychedelia or say it in the spirit-lifting diversities of the chorale. Speak it. Speak Love.

Jump upon the white horse. Grad the brass ring. Ride the eternal carousel and blow your mind! But do it now. Don't Miss out on today, because tomorrow it will be gone. It will be gone and you will have missed it forever.

It's the time of changes. Musical forms that shift and squirm before the eyes. An eternal kaleidoscope. Tomorrow brought into focus today.

Love and life. Meeting and joining. A volatile awakening of the senses, destined to be a historical capsule of the times. The excitement of exploding patterns. It's now. It's today.

It's voices rising above the jabberwock jumble of the masses. Soaring. Long-tailed kites streaking in and out of the clouds. Weaving intricate designs. Now plummeting. Now soaring again. Bright, hopeful voices in captivating sound.

Luboff. The Russian word for love. Luboff. The American word for an exciting new sound of the 60s."
