The ninth episode (extra and unused footage) of our Laurel Canyon miniseries, by Wolf River Music Television. A Journey Thru History and Song 1965-1974 explores the inner workings of the music scene that seemed to explode out of this area north of Hollywood in the mid-1960's and featured legendary musicians and groups such as: The Byrds, The Mamas and The Papas, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, CSNY, The Doors, Frank Zappa, Carole King, The Eagles, Gram Parsons, Love, Jackson Browne, The Monkees, etc. plus music industry giants such as David Geffen, Elliot Mintz, Jim Ladd, Ron Stone and Paul Rothchild. See the famous Canyon Country Store, Love Street, the Tom Mix Cabin, the Houdini Estate, and all of the other places made famous by the likes of Jim Morrison, Cass Elliot, John Lennon and others. We'll even touch on some of the darker elements that were lurking within the shadows such as the Manson Family and the inevitable evils of cocaine and heroin and they crept into the scene, causing havoc and destruction. No matter how many times this subject of music coming out of Laurel Canyon has been repeated in other documentaries, there's always something new to learn and discover. The stories are endless and some of it can be surprising and even downright shocking. Please be sure to watch all ten episodes. Each one has a different theme and a different set of characters and events. www.wolfrivermusic.com/

I like it when the victims are humanized and not referred to as Manson victims. I feel the same way about Steven Parent, often overlooked, just a kid. A great presentation as usual. I hope it's not the last.
@memoryfield
@memoryfield 2 года назад
Thanks Joanne. I have thought about Steven Parent too quite a bit during this process but I decided against bringing him into this particular version of the story. He was a clear case of just really, really being at the wrong place at the worst possible time. Had he left that property just 5 or 7 minutes earlier than he did, he would have escaped that terrible fate. I feel guilty about leaving him out, but I also couldn't justify the idea that he had anything to do with the Laurel Canyon connection or any connection to the people inside the main house at Cielo Drive, other than the details of his murder. All of it was incredibly tragic and senseless, including his death as well. Thanks for bringing him up.

@joannehughes5249 2 года назад
Yeah I understand the context of why Abagail is covered in regards to Laurel Canyon. Yes, a tragic tragic event, I can't stand the way some people see Manson as a victim and or folk hero. I can perfectly understand why Peter Folger protected his daughters legacy, from what I have read from those times man if the victims were seen as bringing those circumstances upon themselves and were at times publicly dragged through the mud so to speak. Yeah, if only Steven had left in that fraction of time....

A wonderful expose on Abigail "Gibby" Folger. From what I had read about her, your account is very accurate. It's true about her station in life causing her feelings of guilt. According to John Phillips of the Mama's and Papas, in his autobiography Michelle Phillips had kind of looked down on Abigail (John and Michelle were part of the Polanski inner circle of friends) simply because Abigail was born of privilege and didn't have to earn her status among the group. John also recalled an incident where Voytek came over to the house for something but John had turned him away. John and Michelle didn't like Voytek and had thought of him as a seedy hustler who couldn't be trusted. It's also true that Gibby was to leave on the 9th to San Francisco to celebrate her birthday with her mother. I also heard this as being true that Abigail was deined being buried in the family plot, hence the reason why she was intered in the mausoleum. A fascinating woman and a fascinating but short life. Thanks for all your diligent research in showing the world that Abigail was more than just a faceless victim of murder. She deserves better than that.

That must have been scary AF 1santos1, that night at Cielo drive was like a shot heard round the world for so many people especially the youths growing up in that era. I was 17 yrs old at the time and getting ready to graduate high school. After the Tate/LaBianca murders we were no longer called flower children but were referred to as dirty hippies. Older generation locked their houses and cars and we were no longer asked to babysit the small children of the adults in my town. To say that there were trust issues going on between the adults that grew up during WWII and the baby boomers was an understatement. The world got mean! The week after was Woodstock Festival that I attended, but for me it was the end of innocence. That was all the way over on the East Coast. As far as Bugliosi’s book, it was nothing but a cash grab for a power hungry prosecutor, if you want to read about factual events that took place at Cielo Drive read H. Allegra Lansing’s book. It dispels all the Bugliosi myths and gives only the facts that happened on August 1969 at Cielo Drive! Hope you enjoy reading it!☮️✌️

I was deeply saddened by the recent death of David Crosby. Sadly, all of the musical icons I followed and listened to back in the 60's and 70's are now in their mid to late 70's and early 80's. (Although Yoko Ono will be 90 in February and the fact that Keith Richards is still alive never ceases to amaze me!!) There is no doubt in my mind that the music of my generation will continue to be played for many years to come. I recently watched the documentary "Echo in the Canyon" (2019). Tom Petty appeared several times...another icon gone too soon. I accidentally stumbled on your RU-vid miniseries after googling "Laurel Canyon". In two days, I binge watched Episodes 1-9 and I was sad for it to end because I wanted more! It was entertaining, informative, interesting and simply amazing!! I loved listening to you. You have a great voice and are very articulate; not to mention the fact that you are an incredible storyteller, too! Thank you SO much for making this.

You think you know a lot about Laurel Canyon, then you watch this series and you realize you know nothing. The stories are told in such a compelling way. I learned so much. You are well researched. I like that you correct any misinformation as you learn more, don’t be so hard on yourself though. I had no clue there was so much beautiful music and culture going on, and how the Manson murders destroyed the innocence of the 60’s decade in Laurel Canyon. You could literally teach a college class on Laurel Canyon, in fact you should. Do any of the other canyons have the rich history of Laurel Canyon? Any info on Bob Seger’s Hollywood Nights inspiration?
@memoryfield
@memoryfield 2 года назад
Haha, thanks a lot but I can already think of at least a dozen others that know way more than I do about all of this right now. Hollywood in general has about 10,000 different stories that can all be told but for some reason Laurel Canyon just seemed to be the one concentrated area where so much happened in a very specific time period. Topanga Canyon had quite a few musicians living there as well, but that seemed like the place they all wanted to go to actually get AWAY from all the craziness and to just be left alone in peace and quiet. I always picture Bob Seger at the end of Hollywood Nights as sitting in his car way up at the top of Mulholland Drive and looking down at the lights of LA. I know because I've done it myself a few times. :)

As rich as her family was/is, I read that at the time of her death, her personal worth was quite marginal. Her assets consisted of a condo or apartment in San Francisco, a new car, and less than $20K in the bank. Her kindness and generosity spoke for her personality. So sad she died at such a young age.
@memoryfield
@memoryfield Год назад
Yes, very much agreed. She was set to inherit a massive fortune that she would have been granted, as it turned out, roughly eleven years after her own untimely death. But it does seem that she decided to live rather frugally, based on the amount of money she was already receiving from her family as a monthly allowance. For example, I wrongly assumed that she had just outright bought that house in Laurel Canyon, on Woodstock Road, with cash. I found out later that she was just renting it from the family that lived next door at the time. She had the money to do that, but she chose not to. Maybe she had no plans to stay there long term? Who knows. I have often wondered if she felt some sense of guilt and remorse that she was born into wealth and she had to prove to herself and everyone else that she was going to make her own way regardless of this fact.

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to create this series. Lizzy is adorable too! This brings back some frightening memories in my younger life while living in Santa Monica. I was one month shy of my eleventh birthday when the killings to place on Cielo Drive. I read recently that the killers had passed our home by approximately 300' while on their way to carry out their leaders orders. We lived on 18th just up from Santa Monica Blvd. When the trials began the followers were protesting at Wilshire Blvd. and Ocean Ave. (according to my father) and at Wilshire and Lincoln Blvd. where I saw them. I remember it being creepy as their heads were shaved and they were holding signs and yelling. I was on my way to the Boys Club nearby. I definitely kept my distance from them but observed the madness for a short period. While at the Boys Club a few of us noticed a group of them heading upstairs to an apartment directly across the street which was over a business that sold musical instruments. A friend mentioned that they were removing their shoes before going in the door??? After the killings there was a curfew in Santa Monica and surrounding areas until the all clear was sounded after the arrests. I believe it was at 9pm and I was spooked walking home in the evening from my friends place two blocks away. We were observant as kids living in the area as the crazy culture was very transparent and it was a good idea to always watch ones back. Many ethical, cultural and ethnic things going on that were unsafe. I have an infant brother and sister who are buried at Holy Cross Cemetery not far from Sharon Tate and her child. Thank you again and if and when I come back to visit my hometown then I'll have to visit Laurel Canyon to take it all in. I learned so many new details from your incredible research and adding so many pieces to the puzzle.

I recently learned that Abigail was a relative of mine through her mother, Inés. All things I find regarding Abigail online or on RU-vid is about either her being from the Folger fortune or some sort sensationalist take on her death, and even then, it's mainly about Sharon. Thanks for this video. I have so many questions about what she must have been like. I myself am I freelance Artist with a passion for art history, and though I haven't traveled very much in life, not even within the country, I did go to art school in Alameda county and by the piers where her family lived, coincidentally. I had no idea at the time. I also became a contract special victims advocate (aka unofficial social worker) for a local court in my 20s, but it burned me out after 2 contracts, though I really did care. Who knows, perhaps just a coincidence.

It warms my heart to see some light shone towards Abigail. Understandably, a traumatizing thing for a family to have to deal with as well as in preserving a legacy privately. Though, she was unfairly characterized in the media during '69 well into next decades without much consideration than just another body count, as where all the victims. But in some sense, the media has played a dichotomy of conveyance in the machine of reporting, progressively, in time as well as decreased in other areas of decency. Room for empathy is left to the individual/reader/consumer to speculate on the wide range of humanity in others. For me, I can see it in Abigail's eyes. There always looked like this restless quest/longing/& a bit of sadness in her eyes. She definitely wanted to belong in such a way that made more sense of the world around her. The material wasn't enough when there was a need for more community connect, knowledge to learn/share, & a place to be held in love. I can't believe I'm just now seeing this video; as I've wondered if other information about her livelihood would ever be shared. Rather than what most reports/docs have deduced as an heiress sprawled out on a lawn in death, there's a light about her that deserves more respect. Her family was of the mind of a different time/generation that I can only guess didn't want to leave open for discussion. But forward to the time we're living in, the scope of perveption/ understanding is much different. 🕯

Thanks for the insightful commentary. We all feel the same way about Abigail over here. Such a shame for someone with so much life ahead of her to go out in such a senseless way.

I first watched this series last summer as I have wanted to see and learn about the fabled Laurel Canyon. Ive watched it twice and just loved it so. Im 70 and was thrilled to hear about the artists from my generation whom I so enjoyed and still do. I even enjoyed the episode with David Crosby and Joni Mitchell whom I am not a fan of. Keep doing what youre doing and we'll all be along for the ride

This is undoubtedly the best, most thorough presentation of all these storied events and tying them together from a realistic perspective. Thank you for taking the time to create and even going back to make corrections, which shows your dedication to truth and accuracy. The 10050 Cielo Drive events have always made me search for the truth, as I was young when they happened, and you definitely cannot depend on "the media" to bring you the truth. I subscribed and look forward to more.

Yes, it still is hard to find much about her to some degree and she'll always be overshadowed by Sharon Tate anyway. But even after I was able to find enough about her to properly make this video, within a couple of months I started finding photos of her that had never been seen on the Internet before. Somebody on facebook has some kind of a tribute page for her and new photos are constantly popping up on there.

I happened on to this website in my Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Mommas and Papas feed. I saw the episode about Neil Young first and then Cass Elliott's life which I found so informative and emotionally touching. I knew nothing about Abigail Folger and find her story fascinating and can relate to very personally. I am a Jewish genealogist in my own family, not my husband's or our grandchildren's, and am 5th generation SF on my Mother's Mother's side and 4th gen on my other 3 sides. Abigail was my husband's age and I am 2 years younger. I was an Art History major in college also. I grew up with the Bransten (changed from German Jewish surname) children whose grandfather founded MJB Coffee in San Francisco. Many of the wealthiest families in SF, Jewish and not Jewish, had personal tragedies, and the Bransten children I grew up with, their father committed suicide. Many of the young adults my age from wealthy families in SF and the suburbs, became Anti War in college and then became hippies after they graduated, not using their degrees from UC Berkeley and Stanford and the State Universities, and got heavily into drugs.

A rare article, in a magazine back in the early 1990's did an interesting article about Ms. Folger, that was specific and detailed and was said to have had a positive reaction from those who new Her, your presentation was done was done in good taste and the not the same old story, it has been rumored that the NRA wanted her murder investigated. Conspiracy Theory always springs up out of Horror, fact is She was a very good person. Another point, She did manage to put a few marks on Tex as it was noted that Ms. Folger stood her ground and fought back, and tried to get away. Another thing, It is doubtful that there was very much Dope actually involved. Great presentation!
