Echo Helstrom biography, Echo Helstrom discography
Blanket Music guitarist Ross Seligman.The five members are all trained in classical and jazz music, and Echo Helstrom has been called an "orchestral rock band" due to their instrumentation (violin, and bowed standup bass instead of electric bass guitar) and arrangements, which runs from chamber music to punk rock and many genres in between.The result has been described as "...The song "Where I Sleep" from the album "The Veil" was featured in the Feb.In Da Club' of "One Tree Hill" on the station WB.Life in Hibbing
(Excerpts from the Dylan Days Bus Tour as legend has it...By all accounts Bobby had a rather uneventful childhood, not unlike most of the children in Hibbing at that time.He and friends would play in the woods up on Pill Hill (an ore dump turned housing development where lots of doctors lived), and he did most of the things kids did in those days.His loving parents were involved in the town's Jewish community and Bobby attended religious training at a Shul (Shool) on West 4th Ave.Shul is a Yiddish word for school).Hank Williams, Hank Snow and Hank Payne, whom he was able to listen to thanks to the radio antenna that Abe rigged to the TV aerial.This receiver opened the door to the rock and roll music of Elvis and, especially Little Richard, whom Bob would later copy onstage at the High School.Bob and his brother David would also stage action photos of Bob riding his motorcycle, or pictures of him using an upstairs drapery to peek out from behind while making theatrical faces.Around this time, according to Echo Helstrom, Beatty would come home for lunch from her own job and prepare sandwiches, fruit and coffee to leave for the kids' lunch break from school.Sometimes they would practice ESP on each other while having lunch in the breakfast nook.Contrary to some accounts, Echo says Bob's parents liked her and always treated her warmly and with respect.Bob was an above average student and made the Honor Roll from time to time.It was felt that his main problem was one of motivation.He did well when he felt like it, and did enough to get by the other times.Classmates described him as quiet, polite, intense, and introverted.Once in 9th Grade Social Studies class, the teacher asked all the students what they wanted to be in life.Rather than kid him about it, his earnestness and drive impressed the rest of the kids."We felt he was destined to go into music and be famous.Music was in his heart and mind and he always picked up new guitar chords from people everywhere we went," says Echo.It is said that once, when his Grandmother Stone surprised him upstairs with Echo Helstrom, he had her hide in a closet while he got his grandmother out of the room, telling her he was going to the Public Library.Echo then exited the house through an upstairs door to a porch over the garage where she hung from a railing, worrying about her dress creeping up, until Bob appeared and caught her when she let go of the railing and dropped down.Abe suffered a massive, fatal heart attack in the house on June 5, 1968.Bob and the Lybba Theater.From the movies that were shown, to terrifying first dates and the exciting prospect of getting to first base in the darkened seats, the Lybba offered a comforting, dark haven of escape from the daily grind.It is said he was a regular and avid moviegoer and probably enjoyed movies that would interest the average kid.Bob probably watched such kid classics as "The Caddy", "Abbott and Costello Go To Mars," "Ambush at Tomahawk Gap," and "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms."While Bob continued to get in for free as he got older, Echo had to pay full admission if she and Bob were going to meet there.Named after Bob's Grandmother, Lybba Edelstein, the theater remained in the family's possession until it was sold along with the State Theater in 1976 to what became Mann Theaters.The Lybba's final showings were "The World According to Garp" and "Zapped" on Oct.Thanks to Mary Forti for her help.Note: The Edelstein family owned 4 theaters in Hibbing.State, also on Howard, and the Homer on 1st Ave, next to the current bar.It's the first day of school in 1946 and Bobby Zimmerman enters the Alice School for the first time.Here we see the new first grader making a friend as he begins his education in Hibbing.Bob pays for his lunch with the newly issued Roosevelt dime, introduced this year in honor of the late president.Abe and Beatty Zimmerman have been reading Dr.If so, how much might this have influenced young Bob's development?GIs from wartime service and the change it caused to our society.For the first time, millions of people were attending college thanks to the GI Bill.Suntan lotion, first developed for the military, is marketed commercially to the American consumer.But none of this probably has much impact on our chubby young first grader who is probably more concerned with the problems of being the new kid in class.Does he have any friends yet?Does he have to walk the four blocks to school, or does he get a ride or take the bus?Was she mean to Bob, or was she kind to the shy pupil?What did a Jewish boy have to eat at the school, or did he bring his own lunch to avoid eating foods forbidden by his faith?The Hibbing High School Auditorium is the site of perhaps Bob Zimmerman's most famous or notorious early performance.It was 1957 during the Jacket Jamboree Talent Show and the place was packed and the lights were dimmed as a procession of local talent took the stage.The occasional spitball arced through the twilight and a few ponytails were pulled despite the watchful eyes of teachers patrolling up and down the aisles.Described by fellow students as polite, easy to talk with, and somewhat introspective, it was a total shock when he pushed back the piano bench and stood up to pound the first notes of a song into the auditorium, electrifying the student body.Some were surprised and dismayed, but most were delighted.It was loud, and loud was good because it bugged the teachers.Echo Helstrom remembers him taking a Little Richard tune and changing the words to, "I gotta girl and her name is Echo."But not in Hibbing High School, no, not that day.Undaunted, Bob kept pounding the piano keys.Two years later, at the Winter Frolic Talent Contest in February 1958, Bob's band, the Golden Chords, would delight a packed crowd of 250 people at the Memorial Building's Little Theater, although the brand of music did not win the contest judged by teachers and parents.By now, it seems, Bob realized he was doing something very different and very threatening to the staid people of Hibbing.What we were doing, there wasn't anyone else around doing.Mostly you had to play polkas."During WWII Abe Zimmerman was exempted from military service because his work at Standard Oil in Duluth was considered essential to the war effort.Following the war, the economy slowed down and Abe was let go by the company.Then, in early 1946 he contracted polio and was laid up for a long time.The business sold household appliances like washing machines, ovens, refrigerators, etc, along with some furniture.Others say Abe would send him out on repossession runs, to reclaim merchandise from customers who failed to make their payments.To which Abe would answer, "Bob, those people have as much money as I do, they just don't know how to manage it."Bob got his first taste here of the world of small business and he didn't like the flavor.Was he just not conventional enough to fit into what was considered "normal life" back then?His speech was slow and deliberate, (compared to Beatty's machine gun style) and he was often seen with a big, fat cigar stuck in his mouth.Abe's style of dress was generally a bit different than that of the average Ranger, with sport shirts, slacks and sweaters suggesting more of a West Coast image.Dark hair flecked with gray, and strong glasses rounded out Abe's appearance.Abe felt Bob should have shown more interest in taking over the family business someday.After all, it was a fairly successful venture.Abe thought that guitar playing was fine and dandy for a hobby, but it was a waste of time that wouldn't pay the bills.This site housed Braman Music in the 1950s and is where Bob took guitar lessons from Raymond Blake.She did not have much contact with him but remembers him being a quiet kid who paid her for the lessons.Although some say Bob saved up his money to buy his first guitar from a catalog, it's only logical that he was a regular Crippa customer.Echo Helstrom said Bob, "Loved walking into Crippa's to ask for a record he knew they wouldn't have in stock.Apparently, Crippa Music's inventory was more conservative than the rock and roll that was taking off around that time.Finally Bob rented a cheap, little guitar.Echo could hardly believe he was interested in talking to her and she thought maybe they were trying to pick them up.Later that evening, Bob, John and Echo went upstairs to the Moose Club so Bob could show her how he played.Bob entertained them for a while, but afraid they would be discovered, they beat feet out of the club.Is it still on the menu?She doesn't remember Bob smoking cigarettes at that time, contrary to some reports.They did not visit the Sweet Shop (now a tobacco store at 2nd Ave.East and Howard much, it was the wrong crowd for them.The band's repertoire of one Little Richard song played a maximum volume and with lots of hollering did not win over the stuffy talent committee.The Shadow Blasters disbanded shortly after this setback and by the end of 1956 Bob had put together his most famous Hibbing group, The Golden Chords.After that the Golden Chords jammed regularly at Collier's Barbecue (now the Hong Kong Kitchen) on Sunday afternoons.Around this period it is thought the Rock Boppers played the St.Louis County Fair and were soundly booed, as sometimes happened when the crowds were older.Colliers BBQ, also listed as Collier's Bar in the 1958 City Directory, was a popular eatery and teen hangout during Bob's days in Hibbing.In addition to the eats, Collier's often hosted Sunday afternoon jam sessions where up and coming bands and musicians like Bob could play.Bob celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with 400 family members and guests at the Androy on May 24, 1954.That and the fact that WMFG Radio had studios on the west side of the building are the only known things linking the hotel to Bob.It does make sence though, since, WMFG did play Bob's kind of music.The queen of Iron Range hotels, the Androy was begun in 1919 and completed in 1921 with mining company money.Currently it is a senior housing facility.The architectural style is Northeastern Italian, and it is made of brick and concrete.Originally it featured a roofed open porch on the west side, and a canopy extending out to Howard Street.Bob hangout during the 1950s.Bob's father, Abe Zimmerman, was also a daily lunch regular according to former owner, Eleanor Haidos.Lamont and Biancini, owners of the cafe prior to the Haidos family.Here he met Echo Helstrom for the first time.Tables were in the back.The kitchen in the rear served a full range of food and had steam tables.After completing the Bar Mitzvah the Rabbi just disappeared.How To
