  • 1943:  Mickey Hart is born




Quote:

Mickey Hart (born Michael Steven Hartman; September 11, 1943) is an American percussionist and musicologist. He is best known as one of the two drummers of the rock band the Grateful Dead. He was a member of the Grateful Dead from September 1967 to February 1971, and from October 1974 to August 1995. He and fellow Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann earned the nickname "the rhythm devils".

Career

Before joining the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart and his father, Leonard Hart, a champion rudimental drummer, owned and operated Hart Music, selling drums and musical instruments in San Carlos, California.

Hart joined the Grateful Dead in September 1967, and left in February 1971. During his sabbatical, in 1972, he recorded the album Rolling Thunder. He returned to the Dead in 1974, and remained with the group until their official dissolution in 1995. Collaboration with the remaining members of the Grateful Dead continues, under the band name The Dead.

Alongside his work with the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart has flourished as a solo artist, percussionist, and the author of several books. In these endeavors he has pursued a lifelong interest in ethnomusicology and in world music. His travels and his interest in all things percussion-related led him to collect percussion instruments, and to collaborate with percussion masters the world over.

Hart became interested in percussion as a grade-school student. Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji performed at schools around the country in the late 1950s and had the students try out the drums. Hart had been one of those students and he never forgot the experience. Olatunji later taught Hart and collaborated with Hart and the Grateful Dead on a regular basis.

Hart was influential in recording global musical traditions on the verge of possible extinction, working with archivists and ethnomusicologists at both the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, and the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution. He is on the Board of Trustees of the American Folklife Center and has been a spokesperson for the Save Our Sounds audio preservation initiative. He also serves on the Library of Congress National Recorded Sound Preservation Board and is known for reissues and other recordings with historical and cultural value.

In 1991, Hart produced the album Planet Drum, which remained at #1 on the Billboard World Music Chart for 26 weeks, and received the first ever Grammy Award for Best World Music Album..

Mickey Hart has written books on the history and traditions of drumming throughout history. His solo recordings (featuring a variety of guest musicians) are percussive of course, but also verge on New Age music categorically. His enthusiasm for world music traditions and preservation and collaborative efforts is comparable to that of guitarist Ry Cooder.

In 2000, Mickey Hart became a member of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to seek to establish new knowledge and develop more effective therapies which awaken, stimulate and heal through the extraordinary power of music -- continuing his investigation into the connection between healing and rhythm, and the neural basis of rhythm. In 2003, he was honored with the organization’s Music Has Power Award, recognizing his advocacy and continuous commitment to raising public awareness of the positive effect of music.

Hart was also a judge for the 3rd annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists' careers.

After the death of Jerry Garcia and the consequent dissolution of the Grateful Dead in 1995, Hart continued to play music with various groups including members of the Grateful Dead. In the 1996 Furthur Festival, Mickey Hart's Mystery Box played, as did Bob Weir's band Ratdog.

In 2005, Hart and the members of the band Particle joined to create the Hydra Project.

During 2006, Hart teamed up with fellow Grateful Dead bandmate Bill Kreutzmann, Phish bassist Mike Gordon and former The Other Ones lead guitarist Steve Kimock, to form the Rhythm Devils, a nickname that refers to Hart and Kreutzmann's legendary drum solos and improvisation. The band features songs from their respective repertoires as well as new songs written by Jerry Garcia's songwriting companion Robert Hunter. The Rhythm Devils announced their first tour in 2006, which ended at the popular Vegoose festival in Las Vegas, Nevada over the Halloween weekend.

In June and July 2008, Hart led the Mickey Hart Band on a U.S. concert tour. The band consists of Hart, Steve Kimock on guitar and pedal steel guitar, George Porter, Jr. on bass, Kyle Hollingsworth on keyboards, Sikiru Adepoju on talking drum, Walfredo Reyes, Jr. on drums, and Jen Durkin on vocals.

In 2010 Hart debuted "Rhythms of the Universe," a composition based on a variety of astrophysical data. The composition represents a collaboration between scientist and artist, using their own sophisticated tools. Nobel Laureate in physics George Smoot from the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and Keith Jackson, a computer scientist and musician also from LBNL, are providing some of the data for the project. The final result will be a musical “history of the universe", from the Big Bang onwards through galaxy and star formation, up until modern times, including images from the Hubble Space Telescope and rhythms derived from the cosmic background radiation, supernovae, quasars, and many other astrophysical phenomena. The work premiered at the conference "Cosmology on the Beach" in Playa de Carmen in January 2010.

In April 2010, it was announced that Rhythm Devils will tour in the summer of 2010 with a new lineup including Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann (assorted percussion), Keller Williams (guitar, vocals), Sikiru Adepoju (talking drum), Davy Knowles (guitar, vocals), and Andy Hess (bass).

Personal life

Mickey has been married since 1990 to lawyer and environmental activist Caryl Hart, who obtained her PhD from UC Berkeley in 2009 on the topic of climate change and public lands. He has two children.  His brother, Jerry Hart, is a radio talk show host  and social media business consultant based in San Francisco.

  • 1964:  Time Magazine publishes article titled "The Law: God & Peyote"




Quote:

The Law: God & Peyote
Friday, Sept. 11, 1964

The art of deciding constitutional questions commonly means weighing competing values. The balance is often delicate, as the California Supreme Court has just shown in answering yes to a weird question: Can a man beat a narcotics rap by pinning it on God?

While performing a religious ceremony in a desert hogan near Needles, Calif., three Navajo Indian members of the Native American Church were arrested for possession of peyote, a non-habit-forming cactus derivative that stimulates visions for those who chew it. Convicted, the Indians carried a novel appeal to the state's highest court. As honest seekers of spiritual hallucination, they claimed exemption from California's drug laws under the First Amendment clause guaranteeing free exercise of religion.

Did the drug laws really abridge the defendants' religious freedom? Yes, found the court. "Peyotism" goes back to at least 1560; it is the central sacrament of a semi-Christian church whose members (estimated at anywhere from 30,000 to 250,000) believe that peyote puts partakers in direct contact with God. As the court put it: "To forbid the use of peyote is to remove the theological heart of Peyotism."

Even so, the Supreme Court has long held that government can abridge religious practices (but not religious belief) when a "compelling state interest" demands it. In 1878, the court thus upheld the banning of Mormon polygamy as antisocial (Reynolds v. U.S.). California's attorney general marshaled a similar argument against Peyotism. It not only subverts narcotic-law enforcement, he said, but also "obstructs enlightenment and shackles the Indian to primitive conditions."

Ruling that California has no right to make Navajos conform to "mass society," the court added that peyote is harmless, is permitted in other states and is religiously more crucial than polygamy, without which modern Mormons are thriving. Since Peyotism "presents only slight danger to the state," the court voided the Navajos' convictions. Balancing its dictum, the court simultaneously rejected the appeal of a white, "selfstyled 'peyote preacher'" who made the same claim as the Indians. He must stand trial again, ordered the court, because he "has not proved that his asserted belief was an honest and bona fide one." How far a court should go in exploring the good faith of religious belief may itself raise further legal perplexities.

  • 1976:  The feds realize that Nick Sand has jumped bail




Quote:

Drug lord sentenced after 20-year flight
Eric Brazil, OF THE EXAMINER STAFF
Published 4:00 am, Friday, January 22, 1999

1999-01-22 04:00:00 PDT CANADA; UNITED STATES -- One September day in 1976, Nicholas Sand quietly slipped out of his Sausalito houseboat and vanished, leaving behind a 15-year prison sentence, frustrated FBI agents, a probation officer and a whiff of mystery that lingered for 20 years.

On Friday, Sand's run for daylight ended. He's going to prison for 20 years.

Throughout the halcyon hippie days of the '60s and early '70s, Sand, a disciple of Augustus Owsley Stanley, grand master of the LSD culture, had been one of the Bay Area's leading manufacturers and distributors of the hallucinogenic drug. His escape was an embarrassment to law enforcement.

Indicted in 1973 for manufacturing LSD and income-tax evasion, Sand was convicted by a federal jury in 1974 and sentenced to 15 years in prison by Judge Samuel Conti.

An appellate court subsequently freed Sand on $50,000 bail.

On Sept. 11, 1976, two FBI agents who had been conducting surveillance and a probation officer who had arrived to give Sand the news that his appeal had failed converged on Sand's Sausalito houseboat, only to find that he had skipped out.

On Sept. 26, 1996, the law caught up with Sand in Canada. He has been behind bars since.

Justice was delayed, but Friday, Sand, 58, appeared again before Judge Conti, who threw the book at him.

In addition to his original 15-year sentence, the judge tacked on five more years, to be served consecutively - that is, after he has completed the longer sentence.

"The defendant was a serious drug manufacturer when he was last before this court in 1974," Conti said. "He continued in that business and committed other serious crimes on his 20-year odyssey."

When Sand appeared before Conti at his original sentencing, the judge reproached him for having

"contributed to the degradation of mankind."

As Sand stood before him again, Conti recalled, "He told me, "Your honor, I'm very sorry for what I've done. I would never do anything like that again' and that he had reformed (his) ideas and goals," Conti said.

In fact, Sand never gave up manufacturing LSD and dealing drugs. He simply moved his operation to Canada, where, living under false names with false identities taken from dead Canadian citizens, he created an LSD lab that flabbergasted Canadian Royal Mounted police when they busted it in 1996.

Street value of the drugs found in Sand's Vancouver-area laboratory was $6.5 million. "The LSD alone had a value of $3.2 million," the Supreme Court of British Columbia found when it sentenced him to nine years in prison last February.

Sand, the Canadian court said, "was the head of the organization that manufactured these drugs and received 75 percent of the profits. This was an expensive, sophisticated laboratory . . . on a par with one that would be found in a university."

Mountie Staff Sgt. Kenneth Ross told The Examiner that at the time of his arrest, Sand's lab "was literally better than the Health Canada lab" and produced extremely high-quality LSD. Sand "is an icon in the world of illicit drugs," he said.

Sand's drug organization is believed to have had operations in Belgium, Mexico and Honduras, as well as the Bay Area. Its distribution network included Hells Angels and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a cult founded by the late LSD guru Timothy Leary.

In arguing for his innocence on the bail-jumping charge, Sand said that he had never been formally notified that he should appear for sentencing in 1976. Judge Conti found him guilty of the charge in October.
