I think the speed of some of the trilling in each of these tracks is a sort of (musical) identity assertion w/in the confines of the boxiness of the piano's 12 tone rigidity

Tiger Beat mag goes back to 60s. My sisters had a few issues. I had to ask with great humility if I could read them. They held the power. Permission not always granted. Coverage of pop stars and groups was predictably gushy and breathless and tabloidy. Teenbloid publishing.

My glimpses were a few years earlier -- Beatles, Monkees, BeeGees, etc. Don't remember the lyrics section. I woulda been all over that.
Here in the stack of coffee table shelf junk, I do have a few lyrics publications from the 40s -- Hit Parader and others, full of standards and less enduring entries. We can give those a road-cruise workout.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:46pm
coelacanth∅:

i could be mistaken. there were a few other rags in the mix. "teen beat" for one, and i think maybe hit parader was still around then, catering to the later generations of teenyboppers.
Avatar 9:48pm

A random Hit Parader page is covered with several songs under the heading, "It's Lani McIntire Time," maybe of interest to a few Drummer DJs.
