The year was 1864, and for three years the Federal Army had tried everything to defeat the Confederate forces. Many battles had been fought with both sides winning and losing. Casualty counts were far beyond what anyone had considered possible. General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had lost a major battle at Gettysburg, but the South's willingness to fight for their independence had not diminished.
Federal strategy began to focus on destroying the South's infrastructure which supplied Confederate forces in the field. In May, Federal General Franz Sigel's army began its march from Winchester, intent on destroying the Virginia Central Railroad located in Staunton. If successful, General Lee's Army would no longer receive the rich stores and supplies from the Shenandoah Valley.
To stop the Federal advance, the sparse Confederate forces under the command of General John C. Breckinridge and General John D. Imboden gathered all the troops they could muster. The Virginia Military Institute's Superintendent Francis Smith was asked if his "School Boy Soldiers" would fall in. Taught from the very beginning at VMI the principles of duty and honor, the young men were eager to prove their worth as soldiers. The cadets marched for 4 days covering 80 muddy miles from Lexington to New Market in the drenching rain.
The battle of New Market began in earnest on the stormy morning of the 15th with lightning, thunder, and cannon fire echoing across the valley. General Breckinridge had not wanted to deploy his 250 young VMI cadets, and held them in a reserve position on the battlefield. But when a large gap opened in the center line of battle, Breckinridge with tears in his eyes said, "Put the boys in, and may God forgive me for the order."
As the boys moved forward behind their colors the storm greatly intensified, with lightning, thunder and driving rain. Now in the eye of the storm, under heavy cannon and musket fire the cadets began taking casualties. Undeterred, they fought forward through a low section of the field with standing water and deep mud, with a number of the boys losing their socks and shoes. A 12 pound Napoleon cannon was abandoned in the face of the cadet's charge, which the cheering boys captured. A Confederate officer watching the cadets said their charge "surpassed anything that I witnessed during the war."
General Breckinridge would later ride to their position and say "Young gentlemen, I have you to thank for the result of today's operations. Well done, Virginians...well done men!"
The actions of those brave cadets fulfilled the motto of VMI, and would be remembered daily from that day forward. "In Bellō Praesidium - In War A Tower Of Strength".

Chicago Welcoming Original Members Peter Cetera and Danny Seraphine Back to the Band
CHICAGO (THE CITY) (SB) - Roiled by recent personel changes that saw longtime drummer Tris Imboden and new-kid bassist Jeff Coffey quitting the band on consecutive days, Chicago announced founding bassist Peter Cetera and charter drummer Danny Seraphine are rejoining the group.
The latest lineup change comes after Chicago fans expressed dissatisfaction with new members Daniel de los Reyes (percussion), Neil Donell (vocals) and Brett Simons (bass). Current drummer Walfredo Reyes Jr. will return to percussion to make room for Seraphine, who was fired in 1990, and Cetera will pick up where he left off when he quit in 1985.
”With Danny and Peter coming home, we’re as complete as we can be without (late founding guitarist) Terry (Kath),” Robert Lamm, James Pankow and Lee Loughnane said in a statement released by AllFourOne, a new management company representing the reunited original band members.
The band also announced it’s scrubbed its planned summer dates with REO Speedwagon to play shows focusing on its 1971, four-LP set, Live at Carnegie Hall.
”This is a dream come true,” Seraphine, who’d long lobbied to get his old job back, wrote on MySpace. “I can’t wait to go back to Chicago again.”
Cetera, who’s had virtually nothing to do with the band since his resignation, was tepid and still demanding, writing on Google+: “I’ll quit again if we don’t play ‘Glory of Love’ and ‘Love Me Tomorrow’ every night.”

Danny Seraphine (born August 28, 1948) He is best known for being the original #drummer and founding member of the #rock #group Chicago, a tenure which lasted from February 1967 to May 1990.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seraphine co-wrote several songs for the band: “Lowdown” (a Top 40 hit for the band), “Little One,” “Take Me Back to Chicago,” “Show Me the Way,” “Birthday Boy” and “Street Player.” His writing partner was often David “Hawk” Wolinski, the keyboardist for Chaka Khan and Rufus. His song “Street Player” was sampled by The Bucketheads for the dance hit “The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind)”, and later by rapper Pitbull for the hit “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” from the album “Rebelution”. The song samples “75, Brazil Street” by Nicola Fasano versus Pat Rich, which itself samples “Street Player”. “I Know You Want Me” has also been featured in Dance Central, the dancing game based on Xbox Kinect, Dance Dance Revolution X2 for PlayStation 2, and SingStar Dance, the dancing game based on PlayStation Move.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In 1974, during the peak of the band’s career, Seraphine invested in and was a moving force in the establishment of B'Ginnings, a music venue with capacity of almost 1,000, in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seraphine left Chicago in 1990, following the recording of Chicago 19. After some session drummers, this vacancy was filled permanently by veteran drummer, Tris Imboden, in time for Twenty 1.

Tuesday Capital teams up with design powerhouse Frog to grab startups’ attention — and keep it
In a day and age when everyone seems to have their own seed-stage venture fund, it’s hard to stand out. But Tuesday Capital, the San Francisco-based outfit formerly known as CrunchFund, thinks it has found a way. Today, the firm announced a new partner in Frog, the renowned design firm whose past clients include the headset maker Oculus, among countless others.
The partnership dates back nearly four years. It was then that Tuesday’s cofounder and managing partner Pat Gallagher was introduced to FrogVentures, the design firm’s investment incubator.
P.J. Gunsagar, the CEO of one of Tuesday’s portfolio companies, KidAptive, had hired Frog to help this company–an online adaptive learning program for children — design a portal that parents could use to see how their children were progressing. Wowed with what they came up — Gunsager believes it helped KidAptive land its Series B round — he suggested that Gallager meet with Ethan Imboden, a former designer and the Frog division’s head.
It was apparently a match. In fact, soon after the two connected, Tuesday rebranded from CrunchFund. “They helped us with our own branding and to navigate around a lot of confusion” tied to the venture firm’s earliest connection to both TechCrunch and Crunchbase. (All three companies were cofounded by entrepreneur and investor Michael Arrington, who has since moved on to form Arrington XRP Capital.)
Says Gallagher, “We were incredibly impressed with the quality of the marketing folks and the technologists and the branding folks,” whose suggestion tied to the belief that Tuesday is the most productive day of the week.
Before long, Gallagher and Imboden were sharing their networks and their deal flow. Now, out of that organic collaboration, the new partnership has been more formally imagined.
How it will work exactly: early-stage ventures will be eligible to receive investment from Tuesday Capital to engage Frog, giving the startups the option of covering the cost of their design projects with equity. Ostensibly, by making it easier for partners to access Frog’s services — which include brand, product, go-to-market strategies, digital product and connected hardware design — they’ll get to market faster and be stronger when they get there.
To cement the deal, Tuesday purchased a share of FrogVentures’s venture portfolio — it now owns stakes formerly owned by Frog in eight companies — and Frog committed to become one of the largest limited partners in Tuesday’s current (fourth) fund so that it continues to get upside from those companies and future Tuesday startups with which it consults. Imboden is also now a venture partner with Tuesday, sitting in all all of the firm’s partner calls and “integrating himself into our workflow,” says Gallagher. “When we talk about new investments, he’s now part of those conversations.”
Considering Frog’s past client list, that could prove a powerful perspective for Tuesday to have around the table.
Of course, Tuesday still has to battle its way to get the attention of top founders who are getting pulled in all directions by investors, both new and old. But the firm, typically writes initial checks of between $250,000 and $500,000, suddenly has a a lot more to offer. “We’ve always tried to be additive to investor syndicates. We help with PR and media and content services.” Now, it can provide access to Frog, too.
It could certainly tip more deals in its direction. “If you need access to design services, if you need to talk with an industrial designer for a couple of hours, if you want an all-day seminar [alongside other portfolio companies]” Frog, with its vested interest in Tuesday, will be there, he says.

The Peanuts Gang Do “25 or 6 to 4”
Ladies and gentlemen, tonight the part of Terry Kath will be played not by Keith Howland, but by Charlie Brown.
With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way, Sound Bites’ four readers can dive into a new YouTube video featuring the Peanuts gang performing Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.”
And in doing so, it’s immediately apparent that good ol’ Charlie Brown is one hell of a fake guitar player.
And Linus Van Pelt as Peter Cetera?
He should give lip-synch lessons to Mariah Carey and Garth Brooks before they try to fake it on TV again.
Pigpen pulls double duty on bass and drums, replaced in some scenes by Franklin on the kit and by Snoopy on the bass, which raises the following:
Question 67: Is Pigpen portraying Cetera or Jeff Coffey? (67-A: Is Snoopy Jason Scheff?)
Question 68: Is Pigpen Danny Seraphine and is Franklin - who joined the strip later - Tris Imboden?
I’d like to know, can you tell me? Please don’t tell me. It really doesn’t matter anyhow.

Might as well be chasin’ the wind (of change) on this Music Monday.
The last few weeks, I’ve been covering the power ballad/soft rock era of Chicago, which was the second era of the group’s lengthy legacy.  Though the era began in 1982 with Chicago 16, it was 1984’s Chicago 17 that solidified Chicago’s place in the era of the power ballad.  Winds of change happened after their most successful album, with one original member leaving for the lofty ambitions of a solo career.  A new tenor voice ushered in 1986’s Chicago 18.  By 1988, the group released Chicago 19, and officially wrapped up Chicago’s first twenty years in the music industry, as well as the 1980s.
Between 1989 and 1990, the group released a Greatest Hits album to commemorate their life in the 1980s (Greatest Hits 1982-1989), performed a song for the Days of Thunder soundtrack (“Hearts in Trouble”), and changed personnel once again.  Out was original member and drummer Danny Seraphine, fired after the conclusion of the band’s 1989 tour to promote Chicago 19.  In was Tris Imboden, who had previously toured with Kenny Loggins since 1977.  Oh, and they spent 1990 doing something else.
They called it Twenty 1
Chicago Twenty 1 is the seventeenth studio album by Chicago, released in January 1991.  The group spent 1990 recording what was to be their first album of the 1990s, and another addition to this new sound the group had been working with for the last decade.  Relying on the outside influence of writers they’d been working with the last few years, Chicago also retained Ron Nevison from their previous album as a producer.  The result for this album was, well, about a step above Chicago XIII and Chicago XIV.
I mean, the sound is so much better (and not disco), but music taste and sound was changing, and this album still retains some of that power ballad feel.  By the early 1990s, that wasn’t really a thing anymore.  As a result, Chicago was mired in an ocean of music that adapted to the times, something they once again found themselves on the wrong side of.  But again, it wasn’t a disco sound they found themselves in. They weren’t that out of touch.
Singles and Music Videos
Three singles were released for Twenty 1 – “Chasin’ The Wind” in January 1991, “Explain it to My Heart” in April 1991, and “You Come to my Senses” in August 1991.  All but one single were the work of Jason Scheff and Bill Champlin on vocals.  Two tracks featured Robert Lamm. I personally feel for the guy – the 80s were not easy for him, and the songs he does contribute to this album – “One From The Heart” and “Only Time Can Heal The Wounded” – has that Robert Lamm vibe.  He wrote them, after all.
“Chasin’ The Wind” and “You Come To My Senses” (which are both beautiful), charted on the Billboard charts.  “Chasin’ The Wind” reached #39 on the Hot 100, and #13 on the Adult Contemporary Chart, while “You Come to My Senses” reached #11 on the Adult Contemporary chart.  As for the album, during a stay of eleven weeks on the Billboard Hot 200, the album reached #66.  It would be their last full-length album of original singles until 2006’s Chicago XXX.
Like in previous albums with music videos, this album has one, but only for “Chasin’ The Wind.”  And well, it’s kinda artsy and very…not Chicago.
youtube
Wind, wind, and more wind, woman holding branches, band in long dark coats and sunglasses, carrying instruments, if this were anyone else, it would all make sense…I think.  But it definitely didn’t feel like Chicago.  However, the song is gorgeous, even if the video is just…not them.
They don’t even play these instruments in this song.
My Take
Call me biased, but this isn’t the worst album Chicago could have put out.  I’ve listened to Chicago XIII, so I know what questionable sounds like.  Twenty 1 doesn’t feel like that disco nightmare, but it also feels like the need for change is coming.  At this point, Chicago’s “winds of change” were finding their way back to the band.  With the new decade beginning, Chicago was going to have to find their way – and the sound – once again.  It was a similar crossroads they faced in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
I do like the music on this album, there is a glimmer of what made Chicago great.  Commercial success was starting to fade, but the next era would be more about returning to roots and recapturing the good old “rock with horns” sound that Chicago gave up in the 1980s to conform to popular (and changing) taste.  All of that said, the album is worth a listen.
Chicago Twenty 1
youtube
The 1990s, and Beyond!
As the 1990s moved forward, Chicago would face yet another crossroads in their music.  Years of outside influence and writers wore the group down, and they were ready to return to their greatness, to the rock that people loved.
After another “Best Of” album in late 1991 (Group Portrait, which covered the first fourteen albums) and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1992, Chicago was ready to go back to their roots…at a cost to their record contract.
That wasn’t the only road block they’d face at the same time, but it certainly didn’t stop them.
I’m going to pick up on that in two weeks, since I already had a song choice picked for next week long in advance.
Have a great Monday, and enjoy the music!
In the final part of an ongoing #MusicMonday series, Chicago's Twenty-One (or Twenty 1) begins the 1990s for the group, and offically ends their power ballad era. Might as well be chasin' the wind (of change) on this Music Monday.
