June Millington in Conversation with Rachael Price Pt I
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Rachael Price, of the band Lake Street Dive, graciously donated a weekend of vocal workshops at IMA from the night of Jan 10, 2014 to Sunday the 12th. All culminated in an afternoon show with attendees which was preceeded by Rachae'sl gracing us with a solo performance; then a conversation which was fascinating and fun to do. Enjoy this glimpse into the world (and skill) of a major recording and performing artist. Many thanks, Rachael, we're so glad to be part of your musical family. Thank you for sharing!

[NOTE: THIS IS PART ONE OF 2]
As a former PROFESSIONAL interviewer (I once hosted my own radio talk show), I have to say that June Millington does a FINE job interviewing Rachael Price. June does what every GOOD interviewer does, gently pulling information from Rachael that is both interesting and informative. Also, since June herself is an accomplished guitarist & singer (having been a member of the all-female band, FANNY), she understands music more than your average journalist.
I’ve made a living as a guitar player. June and Fanny weren’t just another girl band. They were “the girl band.” that established women’s place in rock. They rocked as hard as anyone working in the industry at that time. Ain’t that peculiar
@@rankay8176 I interviewed FANNY as my first assignment as a very green reporter at an Oshkosh, Wisconsin radio station. Nice to see you again, June!
I am in love with Rachael Price.
Jack Darrow I think the new standard of insanity would be not being attracted to her. So beautiful and such a lovely voice! I feel like she'd be fun to hang out with too.
PrestigeSeattle Correct on every point :)) June
You ain't the only one
I suspect there are at the very least thousands of us that feel as you do. When I first heard her voice I was amazed that there was a singer that good on the airwaves in this era.
Get in line 😂
Saw this thumbnail and watched. Been enjoying LSDive videos. Then to my surprise the singer from Fanny interviewing. Thanks for this.
Thank you Rachael and June. Thank you for showing that it takes a lot of work to make it look easy.
Two musical goddesses!
Rachael Price is a wonderful artist that has just begun her career. She fascinates me with her vocals and presence. It's impossible to resist her. What a force. I will follow her career because its sooooooo entertaining! Thanks Rachael! Also, a shout out to June. Don't sweat the negative comments. Cranky folks love to criticize. Don't take it personally. You're a talented artist that is so kind to showcase the new artists such as Rachael. Good work June!
Thanks so much, Brian ~ that helps a lot. This was all a labor of love! xx
Just beginning her career? She's performed around the world since she was a pre-teen in the 90s, as of this 2014 interview, Lake Street Dive had been touring for 10 years.
Great interview. Through this interview, I am coming to know and very much loving the stylized voice of Rachael Price.
Yes. She is fantastic. xx
Awesome interview. Just discovered Rachael Price and LSD and wow! I'm a new fan and I feel like I did when I first heard Adele and saw Scarlett Johansson. LSD - the horn, the bass player, the drummer - the vocal harmonizing of the women especially - is flat out badass.
Welcome to the club Stephen! (they're going to be here at IMA on June 7th, a benefit for us. Have you seen what we're doing here? www.ima.org:)) Thanks!
+Stephen Kane My favorite thing they do is the cover of the Jackson's I Want you Back.
a more beautiful person does not exist
I was a fan of some contemporary Gospel music back in the 80s when there were some very good Christian bands performing. Amy Grant, Benny Hester, Will McFarlane, Phil Keaggy and others. I tried to steer clear of the "sex, drugs, rock-n-roll" genres due to the toxic and dangerous environments they fostered. I always listened to the lyrics, and if I couldn't buy off on what they were selling I would move on. Some of the Gospel stars would "cross-over" to secular music and it would ruffle a lot of feathers in the Christian community. Some of them would fall into scandals and eventually the whole Christian music scene collapsed. It is nice to hear Rachel talk about her roots singing for the Bahai's and didn't really have to "cross-over". She sings jazz based and contemporary music, really anything that she likes to without having the difficulty of navigating an arbitrary line in the sand that was drawn by some. Then again, back in the eighties there was a huge cultural war going on between Christians and pop culture, giving rise to heavy metal bands, many of which would poise themselves directly against Christianity and the Bible. There was the whole debate over censorship and labeling of music going on, and also the long laundry list of scandals that plagued Christianity. The Bahai Faith seems to have an anti-proselytization policy which means they don't push it like the Christians do. Anyways. It is interesting and I am glad Rachel can sing as she pleases without being pressured to a certain platform. And I am glad she can still keep her faith.
In high school, we would go to Winnetka on Lake Mickigan and see the Bahai Temple. I didn't know it was a religion.
So much to learn!! xx
The dog at 5:14. Great interview by the way..
Well thank you so much! Appreciate the positive comment immensely.
I actually thought the interviewer did a good job..asking such highly intelligent interesting questions.
Do ya'll know who the interviewer is? Look up the band "Fanny" from the 70's.
Thank you Jacqueline!
I know the color of Rachel's hair. Look. It's redwood. How lovely..
Cool conversation!
So glad you enjoyed! ~ June

Than you so much - Rachael was patient with my summarizing what she had already spoken about during her weekend workshop; we knew this going out to many more people, tho, so did we could in a shot amount of time. The students and audience loved it. Thanks! June
Just let Rachael talk!
June Millington seems to live in an alternate reality.
What year was this please.

I had no problem with the interviewer. Hell, I'd rather have somebody who talks a lot than an interviewer who doesn't come up with new questions (e.g. 90% of the interviews with LSD).
Hi Jacob, my deep appreciation for your reply. Rachael is such a generous person, and she added that portion we taped at her teaching weekend at IMA, after having covered much material already during classes, singing live (jazz) for the students that day, and giving all such support during their show. She understood I was summarizing and then moving on to "new" questions. She's returned twice since then for workshops, drops by when she can, and will be back. Did I mention generous,? Also, loyal to IMA's goals to teach and empower women and girls in music (www.ima.org). Incidentally, you can also find me in other places on TH-cam, in fact many: I was the guitar player in the band Fanny - along with my sister Jean, bass & vocals - and there's a bit of a resurgence on a number of levels. Jean had a stroke just over a year ago and there's a fund for her, which is helping a lot. She is improving by leaps and bounds, and she (we!) hopes to get back on bass again soon. Should you or anyone else wish to help, it's www.gofundme.com/jean-millington-go Thanks so much! xx June
Surprising. I was just thinking about not hearing enough of Rachel, but I respect your view. 😊
It could have been a good interview if only the interviewer would just stop talking and let Rachael speak more
It was not an interview. It was a conversation, which was taped.
I could listen to June talk all day. Love her and Fanny!
@@JuneEsWorld informative-thanks for sharing these processes with your audience...
June Millington Absolutely! And a good conversation is the ultimate craic.
The interviewer needs to ask questions. She is not the subject, yet she talks way too much
Received your comment, Michael. However, this was a conversation, not an interview, which we shared with you, the general public.
~ June Millington
IMAinthehouse Thank you so much for bestowing upon us, the mere general public, your sacred conversation, and for FREE! you have truly blessed us.
+realpolitik100
eek, haha.
Yeah - too much interviewer not enough Rachel. The art of interviewing is to bring out the interviewee and let them light the path...open doors... The 'discussion' or 'conversation' concept in a setting such as this is kinda meaningless as it suggests the host has as much to contribute as the guest. That is clearly not evident. I only watched this because of my admiration for Ms Price - I don't have a clue who the host is and frankly have little interest in her opinions. What a wasted opportunity.
neurofire If you want to know about the host look up the group Fanny from the early 70's.
let her talk.
I was thinking same thing
i thought this was an interview??
No. A conversation, at the end of Rachael's vocal intensive and just after her, and then the class' show. .
interesting aussie with an iranian religion..
Who ?
Does this interviewer ever stop talking?
Is this an interview? I'll bet Rachel Price is really interesting too bad she got sucked down "the vortex" Sheesh what a dope.
1. says conversation 2. Says right at the top, was at end of a workshop. She was gracious, and incredible.
I just saw your comment again, and yes, she is tremendously interesting. This was at the end of a weekend-long workshop and was fascinating as an add-on at the end, for the students and a small audience of friends. It was so gracious of Rachel to allow us to share it, and - the answer to your question is: not an interview. It was a recap of what she'd shared already, with a bit of conversation.
Rachel, believe me, does not let herself be "sucked down" any vortex.
June Millington
jeez I'm over two min in and it's almost all the interviewer talking (with the camera on her) what?
You missed the part above, where I say this was at the end of a long vocal intensive that Rachael kindly did at IMA, so I was wrapping up what she had already talked about with the attendees. Then we moved on. Not intended to be a "regular" interview - I'm sure you can go many other places to see Rachael do that. She is a kind and generous person, and had no problem with the interview. We remain friends, as she does with IMA.
sad she has to ask if she can say something...maybe one day the interviewer will improve with feedback
Hey, interviewing is not my job - I am a musician singer-songwriter. This was at the end of a vocal intensive that Rachael graciously did at IMA [www.ima.org]. For heaven's sake - it was at the end of a long teaching weekend and after Rachael's and the vocal class' show. Gimme a break ~ as I explained above, it was only a glimpse. Be happy for that, you can find her in so many other places. She remains a friend to me, and to IMA.
@@JuneEsWorld It was given as a hopefully constructive opinion. ANd not the only one commenting on it. Obviously not taken. The phrase I was taught as both educator , and musician- we are given in life two ears, one mouth. best of luck in your endeavors.Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
wow. some men seem totally unfamiliar with the way women talk together. they should be ashamed - even if irrelevant.
Yes, Lynne. I thought doing this at all was a gift from both Rachael and IMA, and was completely shocked by the vicious responses. In any event, Rachael doesn't give that many "interviews" - this was a conversation. Thanks so much! xx
June! Stop talking!
Argen! Stop complaining! Take a look at what this bit was about.
This June woman just spouts such new-age/hippie cliched nonsense. 'Vortex'? What the hell are you on about?
Why do you need to go into this? This was/is a heartfelt offering. If you don't know a word, dude, go look it up. Rachel Price is for real, and this conversation was at the end of a workshop weekend. For heaven';s sake, deal with your anger and spite! Just because something doesn't fit into your realplitik specs doesn't mean you have to go slamming into it. Wow, just leave it, dude. And - I'm not just a new-age hippie. Have you never looked me up? You know nothing about me! June Millington, 66, tired of being battered by guys like you.
+June Millington How do you know that realpolitik100 is a guy? I mean he/she might be but you seem very certain?
+June Millington
your first sentence was enough, June. the best form of speech is concise. You probably ended up saying more than you origninally planned to..
+Sam Jack I'm not at all sure she did plan on saying any less. She comes across to me as someone infatuated by the sound of her own voice rehearsing meaningless new-age cliches.....
It's interesting to note that this interview was approximately 11 minutes long.... 7 of those minutes were taken with the interviewer talking.....
+realpolitik100 Hippies are cool. Ego is not.
